^Novelist Oe submits anti-nuclear petition to govt.
NHK
Jun. 15, 2012

Nobel Prize-winning Japanese novelist Kenzaburo Oe has asked Japan’s government to end its policy of dependence on nuclear power.

Oe told Fujimura that he opposes the government’s plan to allow a restart of the Ohi nuclear plant in Fukui Prefecture, western Japan.

He told reporters that the Fukushima accident has shown that people cannot
coexist with nuclear plants.

He also said adults are responsible for opposing the restart, to maintain a healthy environment for children.

Oe and his fellow campaigners plan to hold an anti-nuclear rally in Tokyo on July 16th. 100,000 people are expected to attend.
More from Oe

"I believe the only way to preserve human life is to completely turn away from nuclear power."

Last Friday, an anti-nuclear group headed by Nobel laureate Kenzaburo Oe presented Noda with a petition with 7.5 million signatures calling for the abolition of nuclear power. This is considerable since Tokyo alone has 13 million people. Protesters have poured into the street almost daily over the past week.
10,000 people took part in a demonstration in Tokyo on Saturday to protest against Noda’s announcement. The following day, more than 2,000 joined a Fukui city protest, in the same prefecture as the Oi nuclear plant.
Local mayors across Japan have signed a letter to the prime minister protesting against the decision.
According to a latest poll earlier this month, 71 percent of respondents cautioned against an early start of the Oi reactors, with only 25 percent in support.

“Fatal Error”: Japan given precise radiation levels from US gov’t just after explosions — Officials kept data secret from public
— Year of ‘safe’ radiation received in 8 hours

http://enenews.com/fatal-error-japan-given-pr...

Japanese government officials took little notice of up-to-the-minute high radiation measurements provided by the U.S. Energy Department.

The Energy Department used its Aerial Monitoring System (AMS) between March 17 and 19, 2011

The data was provided to Japanese government officials, but not released to the public.

Ahahahahah Ahahahahaha Ahahahaha and it's not even April first!

Time for a reckoning, time for an apology

What’s the difference between the fear of bungee jumping and the fear that comes from finding out after 10 years that your house was built on a toxic waste dump?

People pay for the former because the fear delivers a rush of adrenalin, and the safe survival brings elation. But people sue for the latter because it can permanently throw an angle grinder into your sleep patterns, steamroll your joie-de-vivre, wreck your marriage and make you sick. Stressed people get sicker quicker.

Radiation impacts below those of urban air

Post Fukushima, Nature is reporting that the first indications are that post traumatic stress disorders may be even worse than after Chernobyl. As for the physical disease impacts, David Brenner, a leading radiation expert, was quoted in the same article that it was unlikely that any cancer impacts from the radiation release would be measurable in any epidemiological study.

Think about this. Please. Can you use epidemiology to measure the impacts of air pollution in Japan? Indeed you can. Here’s just such a study which shows increases in lung cancer risk of 25 to 50 percent at common levels of urban air pollutants. If you want to know why 10-20 percent of lung cancer is in non-smokers, then air-pollution is a major factor and its impact is readily detected and measured.

But Brenner’s expert opinion is that the impact of the Fukushima radiation releases will be too small to measure. I.e., less cancers than are due to common levels of air pollution. He isn’t saying the impacts will be zero, he can calculate them with a theoretical model. His calculations are that there may be about 20 cancers over a 40 year period per 100,000 people affected. Given that 100,000 is close to the number of people actually evacuated, then 20 cancers looks to be the maximum impact. This is based on Brenner’s expert understanding of the careful dose estimates just published by the World Health Organisation.

About 40,000 of the 100,000 people will have got cancer during the remainder of their lives without the radiation exposure. Detecting an increase of perhaps 20 amongst the normal variation using statistical measures will be impossible. Brenner has estimated this based on the “linear no threshold” approach to radiation, so it’s pretty much a maximum estimate among people who actually know anything about such matters.

Bomb threat hoaxers … inadvertent or deliberate?

It’s time that anti-nuclear activists were called to account over their role in the panic, stress, mental anguish and related illness caused by their fear mongering. I’m not sure if they should be grouped with people who make false bomb threats or those who falsely shout “fire!” in a crowded theatre. Either way, there needs to be an accounting for the suffering they are inflicting.

Consider the following image showing a child being scanned for radioactivity after

First focus on the child. Is the child terrified? Maybe. He may not be old enough to understand what is happening, but will probably pick up on the fear around him. His mother, in particular is highly likely to be traumatised.

Now look at the guy doing the radiation scan.

How much further away from the child could he get?

He’d fall flat on his face if he tried to move any further back. He is clearly terrified … of the child. What kind of story has he been told? All through the Fukushima media-storm-farce I kept seeing images of children and their mothers and fathers being terrified by procedures that couldn’t have been more brilliantly designed to terrify if they had been thought out by some sick sadist.

What did the guy doing the scan think was happening? This isn’t SARS, or bird flu or ebola or marburg or hendra or even swine flu. This is radiation! You can measure the damn stuff and he’s got a machine. Unlike the first health care experts at an unknown disease outbreak, Geiger Counter Man can always know exactly what level of risk he is running. What the hell did they tell this guy before they pushed him onto the front line?

Maybe they told him the truth but he didn’t believe them and put his faith in Helen Caldicott or Michio Kaku?

What was he thinking?!

So what did Geiger Counter Man think would happen? If the child had been busily munching on plutonium mud pies all morning, was that any risk to him? Of course not. For that to be even remotely dangerous the child would need to vomit and he’d have to do the old doggy trick and lick-it-up. This doesn’t seem likely.

There’s not even that much risk to the child in this case either. He’d have to ingest a large amount and the time it remained in his body would be shortish. Breathing in some particular isotopes would raise the child’s risk of cancer, but as Brenner implies, there wasn’t much of any serious danger around. But still, that’s no risk to the guy with the suit. And if the child has radioactive dust on him? Give the kid a shower. Dust is dust, even radioactive dust washes off in soap and water. It doesn’t get magick sticking power.

But the scanner guy is clearly terrified. Why? Anti-nuclear activists have generated a knee jerk fear in people that is beyond reason. It’s a snake-panic-run response.

After Chernobyl, with the important exception of some 6,000 thyroid cancers, the UN Scientific Committee found that the most serious consequences were psychological. Fear and stress. The thyroid cancers were treated with better than 99 percent success rate.

During the past 15 months, another couple of hundred thousand Indian children between 1 and 5 years old have died because they have no electricity and cook with wood or cattle dung. Greenpeace is trying to stop the construction of a huge 9.9 giga watt nuclear plant at Jaitapur that could save many thousands of young lives because they think that the risk from radiation during any nuclear accident is worse than certain death from cooking smoke.

And back in Japan? As summer approaches, anti-nuclear activists want to keep Japan’s reactor fleet idle which will put far more lives at risk than any cancer risk from the Fukushima radiation. Japan had the hottest summer on record in 2010 with some 52,000 hospitalisations and 168 premature deaths. That was when they had full power. What will this summer be like? How many people will fry and die because of the radiation phobia whipped up by anti-nuclear activists? How high will Japan’s greenhouse gas emissions rise as a result of anti-nuclear irrationality?

Of hypocratic oathes and apologies

I wonder how may well meaning medical doctors are associated with the anti-nuclear movement? How many are busy spreading fear and the consequent disease? Perhaps its time to start deregistering any such doctors for breach of the hypocratic oath …“first, do no harm”.

It’s time the global political Green movement showed some compassion and took steps to try to reduce the distress and panic. I’d like to see Christine Milne contact the Japanese Government and tell them she supports turning on the reactors. I’d like to see her apologise to the Japanese people and call on other global Green leaders to do the same. The last thing the Japanese people needed after the 2011 quake and tsunami was a trumped up radiation death cloud fear campaign, but that’s exactly what the anti-nuclear movement gave them.

I also see that the nuketarded article by 'so hot' is by
" Geoff Russell. Geoff is a mathematician and computer programmer"
and he recently wrote another nutty one perpetuating the man-made 'Global Warming' hoax BS
If Geoff is so sure radiation isn't that deadly he should go work in Fukushima on the attempts to clean up the mess there, and take his fellow 'expert' Ann Coulter with him!

Chernobyl's REAL death count is One Million!

^A million people have died so far as a result of the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear plant accident, explains Janette Sherman, M.D., toxicologist and contributing editor of the book Chernobyl: Consequences of the Catastrophe for People and the Environment. Published by the New York Academy of Sciences, the book, authored by Dr. Alexey Yablokov, Dr. Vassily Nesterenko and Dr. Alexey Nesterenko, examined medical records now available--which expose as a lie the claim of the International Atomic Energy Commission that perhaps 4,000 people may die as a result of Chernobyl.

One of the NRC's pamphlets they had on a table at BUHS during their sham meeting with NON-officials of the Commission tries to play down the notion that a Fukushima can happen here in the U.S. Many experienced nuclear plant operators/engineers like Arnie Gundersen and Paul Blanch etc. say otherwise

As usual, you are wrong!

If So Hot is not So Nuts ...

........which I do believe they are:

SO HOT= SO NUTS = All the hospitals would Allow everyone to run around naked and get as much radiation from all their various xray machines etc etc etc .....ALSO DENTISTS !!!

maybe SO Nuts did that ..huh????

You Too????

If you don't like living in Vermont move to Maine. It's a free country, no one is forcing you to live in the "evacuation zone". So stop complaining, people have a right to work and provide for their loved ones at that nuke plant as long as it remains safe like it has for 41 years. Guess you aren't happy unless you have something to hate.

Only Mainiacs live in Maine Vinny!
and NH's Seabrook nuke (dirty bomb) is pretty close to Maine's southern corner

and No, nukenuts do not have a 'right' to endanger the rest of us
'hate' or more properly called Disgust is what the majority of Japanese people have for nukedom now, and for good damn reason!
This fine young Japanese man has some choice words for ewe'r ilk-
http://www.theatlantic.com/international/arch...

Thanks to ewe nuketards the word 'yankee' now has a bad connotation

wiki says:
Maine Yankee Nuclear Power Plant was a nuclear power plant built on Bailey Peninsula of Wiscasset, Maine, United States. It ran from 1972 until 1996, when safety and other problems at the plant became too expensive to fix. A lengthy Nuclear Regulatory Commission investigation started in 1995, following allegations of safety problems at the plant.
The NRC staff identified so many problems that Maine Yankee Atomic Power Co. decided "it would be too costly to correct these deficiences to the extent required by the NRC and decided to shut the plant down".
But the radioactive waste is still on site

Nope I just reread So Hot /So Nuts .

Rereading So Hot /So Nuts ..........more nutty than at first read .

Actually I think So Dangerous .

Now that the reactors are shot they are trying to sell to the public that all this radiation disaster , poisoning is business as usual.

Put the onus on thhe citizens !

Price of doing business in the 21 st century . People are collateral damages ..........

..........As far as all the people and organizations you are trying to have apologize to Japan for uncalled fear you think that is unwarrented (according to you)....how about including :

GE for their sketchy GE MARK 1.

Wht not?
