Japan is winding down it unclear power plant...Nuclear power station causing cancer -- An official study - German govt shows the risk of getting cancer is increasing for children growing up in the neighborhood of a nuclear power station.
This is in particular true for leukemia, a special case of cancer. The closer to the nuclear power station, the higher the risk of leukemia and cancer.
In Germany, child cancer patience are being recorded. For investigate into the cases of children's cancer between the years 1980 and 2003. There were 1592 children of age less than five years who got the disease and 4735 healthy children involved in the study.
The result showed - A significantly higher risk to get cancer if the children lived within a circle of less than 5 km around a nuclear power plant:
According to the normal statistical values, there should have been 48 cases of cancer and 17 cases of leukemia within the above mentioned circle of 5 km around the atomic power plants. Test others wise indicated, 77 cases of cancer (60% more than expected) and 37 cases of leukemia (117% more than expected).
A person directly involved in the study mentioned to Spiegel online, that there might be human at higher risk for leukemia even within a circle of 50 km around nuclear power plants.

Radiation fallout from the wrecked Fukushima nuclear plant poses a growing threat to Japan’s food chain as unsafe levels of cesium found in beef on supermarket shelves were also detected in more vegetables and in the ocean.
Seafood Concerns
“Some areas still have high radiation dosages and if you also eat products from these areas, you’ll get a considerable amount of radiation,” said Sentaro Takahashi, a professor of radiation control at Kyoto University in western Japan. “This is why the government needs to do something fast.”
Radiation in food is measured in becquerel, a gauge of the strength of radioactivity in materials such as Iodine-131 and Cesium-137.
Why ban oni cattle and not those from the sea and many more..eatable contaminated products.

The latest food scare associated with the disaster has seen increasing numbers of cows from farms outside the 20-kilometre (12-mile) Fukushima nuclear no-go zone found to have eaten contaminated hay before being moved around the country, with some of the meat thought to have been consumed.
Workers are still battling to stabilise the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, which is still emitting radiation four months after it was hit by the earthquake and tsunami.

Sat, July 16 photo, cattle are fed after officials confirmed the hay were safe at a farm in Miharu, Fukushima Prefecture, northeastern Japan.
On Sunday. Japan officials race to struggled to determine the scope of the problem and prevent further contamination of the meat supply...?.
Fukushima's govt said 84 head of cattle shipped from five farms had been fed contaminated straw.
It also released results of tests conducted on remaining straw, which revealed cesium levels as high as 500,000 becquerels per kilogram at one farm in Koriyama City. That translates to roughly 378 times the legal limit.
The new revelation brings the number of exposed cows so far to 143, according to Kyodo News agency.
The issue gained attention on
July 8,
as Tokyo Metropolitan govt said it had detected radiation in beef originating from a farm in Minami Soma, located about 16 miles (25 kilometers) north of the crippled nuclear plant. Its sample indicated 2,300 becquerels per kilogram.
Local and national govt officials say they are working to trace the location of the suspected meat and will improve safety checks.

China oil spill six times size of Singapore: govt
A huge oil spill off the Chinese coast has now contaminated an area around six times the size of Singapore,
The spill from the oil field, which the U.S. ConocoPhillips operates with China's state-run oil giant CNOOC, has polluted a total area of almost 4,250 square kilometres (1,650 square miles).
The figures, which were announced on the State Oceanic Administration website earlier this week but only reported on Friday, were almost five times the size of the 840-square-kilometre area previously reported.
The spill was kept secret by the authorities for several weeks before being made public this month, sparking suspicions of an official cover-up, and the disaster has triggered a furious public response in China.
http://nbnl.globalwhelming.com/2011/03/12/danger-nuclear-explosion-leakage-japans-nuclear-plant/
The quake sent a 10-metre tsunami ripping through towns and cities across the northeast coast. Japanese media estimate that at least 1,300 people were killed.

TOKYO (AP) — A poll suggests most Japanese oppose restarting nuclear reactors closed.
Before the March 11 tsunami, about 30% of Japan's electricity was provided by 54 reactors across the country, since the crisis at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant, 35 remain closed after maintenance and safety inspections.
A poll released Monday by The Nikkei, a conservative business daily, found nearly 70% opposed restarting reactors now offline. 47% said the number of reactors should be decreased and 21% said they should all be closed.

Temporary storage tanks for low / middle level radioactive water. (
12 minutes ago)
TOKYO (Reuters) - An operation to clean up radioactive water at Japan's stricken Fukushima nuclear power
plant was suspended on Saturday, hours after it got underway, when radiation levels began rising dramatically,
" At the moment, we haven't specified the reason," a TEPCO spokesman told a news conference. " So we can't say when we can resume the operation. But I'd say it's not something that would take weeks."
" Unless we can resume the operation within a week,
we will have problems in disposing of the contaminated water. A resumption was critical to deal with the highly radioactive water -- officials say 110,000 tonnes, the equivalent of 40 Olympic swimming pools -- is stored there.
http://news.asiaone.com/News/Latest%2BNews/Asia/Story/A1Story20110616-284499.html
TOKYO - Japan's crisis-hit nuclear power plant could spill more radioactive water into the sea within a week unless engineers can fix a glitch in a new system to clean up growing pools of contaminated water.
Japan plans to ask pregnant women and children to move away from far-flung radiation “hotspots”
Straits Times (Sat, Jun 18, 201), reported Nuclear crisis " hurt Japan's reputation" and in Indonesia.
Indonesia's President - Dr Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono had second thought, voiced his reservations on plan to build atomic nuclear plant in quake belt islands during his term that run till 2014, after visiting Japan and noted that both countries - located on the seismically active Pacific Rim of Fire - that Japan had recently suffered devastating earthquakes and tsunamis.

Antinuclear protesters staged nationwide demonstrations throughout
Japan yesterday, three months after a nuclear power plant damaged by natural disasters began spewing radiation.
Demonstrations were held in about 140 places including downtown Tokyo, Osaka, Hiroshima and Fukushima, where the crippled Tokyo electric Power Co. reactors have yet to be brought under control, media including the Asahi newspaper reported.
As many as 20,000 people participated in the nationwide protests, Asahi reported, citing organizers it didn’t name.
Tokyo metropolitan police declined to provide any estimate of numbers at demonstrations, when contacted by Bloomberg News.

http://www.naturalnews.com/032659_arsenic_chicken.html (those who's keen to read - on food consumed)
After 60 years of sweeping the issue under the rug and hoping no one would notice. FDA has now finally admitted that
chicken meat sold in the USA contains arsenic, a cancer-causing toxic chemical that's fatal in high doses. But the real story is where this arsenic comes from:
It's added to the chicken feed on purpose!
Even worse, FDA says its own research shows,
the arsenic added to chicken feed ends up in the chicken meat where it is consumed by humans. So for last sixty (60) years, American
consumers who eat conventional
chicken have been swallowing
arsenic, a known cancer-causing chemical.(
http://www.phillyburbs.com/news/loc...)
Until this new study,
poultry industry and
FDA denied that arsenic fed to chickens ended up in their meat. The fairytale excuse story we've all been fed for sixty years is " the arsenic is excreted in the chicken feces." There's no scientific basis for making such a claim...it's just what the poultry
industry wanted everybody to believe.
But now.
Evidence is so undeniable that the manufacturer of the chicken feed product known as Roxarsone has decided to pull the product off the shelves (
http://www.grist.org/food-safety/20...). And what's the name of this manufacturer that has been putting arsenic in the chicken feed for all these years?
Pfizer, of course -- the very same company that makes vaccines containing chemical adjuvants that are injected into children.
Technically, company making - Roxarsone chicken feed is a subsidiary of Pfizer, called
Alpharma LLC. Even though Alpharma now has agreed to pull this
toxic feed chemical off the shelves in the
United States,
it says it won't necessarily remove it from feed products in other countries unless it is forced by regulators to do so. As reported by AP:

http://www.naturalnews.com/032657_Fukushima_meltdown.html#ixzz1OsNgwSex
Recent reports confirming that Reactors 1, 2, and 3 of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear facility completely melted just hours after the devastating earthquake and tsunami hit the area on March 11 (
http://www.naturalnews.com/032537_F...) have been trumped by even worse news that those same reactors have all likely " melted through," a situation that according to Japan's
Daily Yomiuri DY is " the worst possibility in a nuclear accident."
And senior political official Ichiro Ozawa suggested in an interview with
The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) that the
Fukushima situation could make the entire country of
Japan " unlivable."
A nuclear core
meltdown involves nuclear
fuel exceeding its melting point to the point where it damages the core, leaks out, and threatens to potentially release high levels of radiation into the
environment. However, a nuclear melt-through is an even worse scenario, as
nuclear fuel literally melts through the bottom of damaged reactor pressure vessels into out containment vessels -- and possibly even melts through those outer vessels directly into ground, air, and
water.
The report suggesting that melt-throughs have already occurred, which is set to be submitted to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), is the " first official recognition" of this dire situation, according to DY. It also confirms early suspicions that such a scenario had been underway all along, as later reports confirmed that the epic disaster at the reactors had produced holes in come of the plant's core containment vessels, and that radioactive water, and possibly even fuel, were leaking into the lower vessels.
IAEA already stated. Fukushima disaster is at least as bad as
Chernobyl disaster (
http://www.theatlanticwire.com/glob) this new info now suggests that it is probably even worse. This time, it is unknown whether the fuel that has accumulated in the outer containment vessels has seeped outside, where it has the potential to contaminate groundwater supplies and wreak widespread environmental damage.
In interview conducted prior to release of new report, Ichiro Ozawa told the WSJ that areas around Fukushima were already becoming completely " uninhabitable." He also suggested that as it currently stands, much of the rest of the country, including Tokyo, could suffer the same fate if nothing is done to properly and effectively contain the situation.
but
Japan has not been truthful enough to tell us and keep saying it safe.
Published: 7 Jun 2011 1310 hrs
Japan has more than doubled its initial estimate of radiation released from the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant in the week after the March 11 tsunami, ahead of the launch of an official probe Tuesday.
The nation's watchdog, the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency (NISA), now says it believes 770,000 terabecquerels escaped into the atmosphere in the first week -- compared to its earlier estimate of 370,000 terabecquerels.
The findings were released on the eve of the first meeting Tuesday of an independent 10-member academic and expert panel that will look into the causes of the world's worst nuclear accident since Chernobyl a quarter-century ago.
The group's leader, a Tokyo University researcher on human error, Yotaro Hatamura, said at the meeting that " nuclear power has higher energy density and is dangerous. It was a mistake to consider it safe" .

The Malaysian Insider reported today that Lynas was asked to pay the govt a “certain percentage” from its annual gross profit to undertake research and development on the management and disposal of radioactive waste or pay financial security.
Lynas expects no delay to its plans to begin operations in Sept as it maintains the plant is safe. It is anticipating a windfall of RM8 billion a year from 2013 onwards from the rare earth metals processing.

Citing reports on various nuclear incidents including 1986 Chernobyl disaster that crippled Soviet economy
The controversial rare earth plant being built by Australian miner Lynas Corp has raised fears of a repeat of the radiation pollution from a similar plant in Bukit Merah, Ipoh.
The Asian Rare Earth (ARE) plant in Perak has been linked to birth defects and at least eight cases of leukaemia in the past five years, seven of which were fatal.
Nearly 20 years after it was shuttered, the plant is still the subject of a RM300 million cleanup.
Putrajaya bowed to public pressure in Kuantan and last month put on ice the plant being built by Lynas Corp, pending a month-long review by international experts.
The meeting this evening between various anti-Lynas groups was to work out strategies before a series of meetings with the panel this week, which they see as their best chance to scupper Lynas’s plans.

" We want the electricity of the future to be safer and at the same time reliable and affordable," Merkel told reporters as she accepted the findings of an expert commission on nuclear power she appointed in March in response to the crisis at Japan's Fukushima plant.
" That means we must have a new approach to the supply network, energy efficiency, renewable energy and also long-term monitoring of the process," she said.

M'sia misti boleh piya....wayang, wayang, pocket pocket money.
The plant built by Australian miner Lynas in eastern Malaysia could curtail China's monopoly on the supply of rare earths for making high-tech goods.
Malaysia's trade ministry said a delegation from the International Atomic Energy Agency was starting talks Monday with activists worried about low-level radioactive waste from the planned plant.
Malaysian authorities are expected to decide whether to let the plant proceed with refining ore from Western Australia after the panel submits its report next month. Lynas says the plant will have state-of-the art contamination controls.
A forumer posted:
Reason that the refinery plant which own by Australian, built in Malaysia is because of the radiation pollution.
Besides, rare earths are mined in Australia and it does not make sense to ship to M'sia for processing unless they are aware that the pollution cost will be much higher than shipping cost to M'sia.
Furthermore, the Green Party in Austrslia will object to the plant build back home. It is very straightforward answer and you do not need study from nuclear experts who will likely agree upon in flavour of miner.
Australia wants profit but want others to suffer long term hazardous effect of radiation pollution in Kuantan
