VIDEO: Significant amounts of Fukushima radiation detected on west coast — Nuclear Expert: Levels are 30 times worse than predicted… “and it’s just the beginning of the onslaught”; Scientists have no clue about what’s coming, their real goal was downplaying damage to Pacific (ENENews, May 9, 2015):

Arnie Gundersen, Chief Engineer at Fairewinds Energy Education, World Uranium Symposium — Fukushima Workshop, April 2015 (emphasis added):

  • At 7:30 in — Last week, Woods Hole announced a study that showed that about… 7 becquerels per cubic meter [has reached the west coast of North America].
  • They called it ‘trace amounts’. I don’t call 7 Bq/m^3 a ‘trace amount’… that’s significant and measurable, and it’s just the beginning of the onslaught.
  • There was a study in 2012 that predicted how much radiation was going to get to the west coast of B.C. … [It] was 29 times lower than what [Woods Hole] actually measured.
  • So scientists have no clue how to measure what’s transporting through the ocean. Studies two years ago are already wrong by essentially a factor of 30.
  • The scientists’… real goal was to downplay the significance of the damage to the Pacific Ocean. It is in fact 29 times worse than predicted.

Woods Hole scientist Ken Buesseler, Apr 24, 2015: “The bad news is, the Japanese found, through their own monitoring data, cesium levels weren’t going down in fish. That means they’re getting a source-they’re getting fed more cesium. There are still leaks at the site… There are 300 tons coming out a day… It’s maintaining levels that are high enough to keep fisheries closed… My latest concern is shifting, as the exposure for cesium has gone done [sic] 10,000 times, but it has stayed pretty constant for strontium-90… The U.S. government has failed us because they don’t analyze ocean waters for radioactivity… It’s crazy… Some say we shouldn’t have cesium in the fish, but there’s already cesium in the fish [he says while laughing]… Don’t worry about the cesium.”

Deutsche Welle, Apr 9, 2015: Scientists have detected radiation… off the Canadian coast. Experts disagree as to whether the amount detected constitutes a dangerous level or not… [According to scientist Peer van de Rijk]… “There is only one safe level: that is zero level. Every amount is possibly harmful, and it adds up. You can never say that there is a safe dose for radiation.” If cesium-134 and cesium-137 accumulate in the body, this can damage cell structures… radiation is also likely to be measured in other parts of the globe… “Radiation travels with the wind and the ocean. And it’s very possible that it will show up everywhere else in the coming years,” van de Rijk adds.

  1. Downplaying damage to the Pacific and the west coast?
    Hell, they are burying all truth related to this ongoing nuclear fallout…..
    Our once beautiful beaches are infested with barnacles instead of white sand and seashells…..Our sea life is poisoned and dead.
    Our crops, soil, water, and atmosphere is poisoned with plutonium and other deadly cancer breeding chemicals.
    The drought we suffer makes the one from the 1970s look like a picnic….I cannot believe the two events are not connected. Animals, crops are dying everywhere, and our lakes are vanishing…..
    Back in the days when we had a free press and an honest science field we were warned that a nuclear fallout has the capacity to destroy life as we know it. It gets hot, then hotter and even hotter…..there is no end to it. Nothing we know of can contain or stop it. Yet, the greedy fools in charge move ahead heedlessly………
    But, nothing is said…….some truth might get through.

  2. The wipe-out gathers pace.
    In spite of being regularly criticised as a scaremongering disinformation site of little credibility, some snippets do hold water.
    The economic and social consequences of the USA Bird Flu epidemic are very worrying on top of the future consequences of the California drought Jon fresh food supply.
    Add to that equation the tainting and downright poisoning of food crops with GMO contamination and poisonous Round Up, and the supply effect of “monoculture” dominating fertile land, and you have the ingredients for famin.
    Domestic pets are incidental, but the link shows the validity of the claim.
