Fukishima Still a Global Health Threat



At this point, the World Nuclear Association and the US NRC need to take over management of the situation.  TEPCO and Japan's government have proven that they can not handle the situation, and it threatens the global population.


Japan’s Nuclear Accident Response Director Warns that Tepco’s Actions Might Cause Reactor BuIldings to Collapse
Tepco’s ill-considered efforts to change soil permeability and water flow have caused severe problems at the site … including highly radioactive groundwater bubbling up to the surface.

Engineers are now facing a new emergency. The Fukushima plant sits smack in the middle of an underground aquifer. Deep beneath the ground, the site is rapidly being overwhelmed by water.

The spent fuel pool at Fukushima Unit 4 is the top threat to humanity, and is a national security issue for America.As such, it is disturbing news that the ground beneath unit 4 is sinking.Specifically, Unit 4 sunk 36 inches right after the earthquake, and has sunk another 30 inches since then.Moreover, Unit 4 is sinking unevenly, and the building may begin tilting.

Obviously this is a massive public health issue … if it gets into the ocean obviously this could be spread throughout the Pacific, could also get into the food supply. 

No wonder even top Japanese government officials are calling for Tepco to be fired …
