Fukushima early stage China Syndrome is a clear concern!
TOKYO, Japan - August 20, 2011 - Since Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear energy plant has reportedly released 20 times the radiation contamination amount of the Hiroshima bomb, and its molten core is sinking through the Earth's crust, it appears to be in the early stages of a "total China Syndrome meltdown", according to a Russia Today report Thursday, during which Beyond Nuclear's Paul Gunter answered why media is blacking out the catastrophe, as noted by numerous scientists, while he revealed the increasing threat of a nuclear explosion.
"The total amount of leakage [is] about 29.6 times the amount of contamination caused by the nuclear bomb dropped on Hiroshima. Assuming the source material to be uranium, we think the total amount of leakage to be about 20 times what was caused by the Hiroshima bomb," said Gunter.
Those were among alarming words stated by Dr. Tatsuhiko Kodama, 58, head of the University of Tokyo Radioisotope Center Research Center for Advanced Science and Technology in Meguro-ku in an interview with The Mainichi Daily News on August 20.
Dr. Kodama had reported the same data as he testified before Japanese Parliament's Committee for Health, Labor and Welfare of the Lower House of the Diet on July 27. His testimony made headline news in Japan, but not in the U.S., according to Russia Today's Tom Hartmann, who wanted to know why media are continuing their blackout campaign against the best interests of the public.
Dr. Kodama is highly qualified to be collecting and analyzing radiation data. He has been working to develop cancer treatment methods using isotopes, is well informed about internal radiation exposure problems, and has been visiting the city of Minamisoma in Fukushima Prefecture every weekend to conduct radiation measurements and decontamination at locations such as kindergartens, according to The Mainichi Daily News.
"Radiation has a high risk to embryos in pregnant women, juveniles, and highly proliferative cells of people of growing ages. Even for adults, highly proliferative cells, such as hairs, blood, and intestinal epithelium cells, are sensitive to radiation," he stated, becoming impatient with government's delayed reaction in helping people survive the worsening conditions.
As the molten core sinks into the ground, increasing the nuclear plant's lethality, an unidentified Fukushima employee said, "A lot of the cracks came up in the ground. Massive steam is coming up from there. It's too smoggy here. Can't see a thing. It seems like nuclear reaction is happening underground. Now we are evacuating. Watch out for the direction of the wind."
