全国のみなさま 広瀬隆です このまま安倍晋三の大嘘を放置して、日本の恥をさらし続けることはできません。全世界のアスリートに
向けて英文の手紙を書きました。この英文を、すべての国の若者に、みなさまが翻訳して伝えてください。東京オリンピックに来るアスリートは、現在、中学生・高校生ぐらいの若者ですから、その保護者た
ちに、今から日本の実情を正しく伝えておく必要があります。。魚介類では、福島事故前の日本近海魚の平均値は0.086ベクレル/kgだったのに、現在の基準ではこれが100 ベクレル/kgで流通し、正常値の1160倍が「安全な魚」になって流通しているのです。どの報道を見ても、1000倍の危険物 を基準に、「検出限界以下」だと論じているわけです。
(The fish near the Fukushima coast used to contain only 0.086Bq/kg(of cesium) before the Fukushima disaster. Now it's up to 100Bq/kg (of cesium), that is 1000 times more radioactive than before. It is allowed to sell this produce.
急いで、みなさまの外国人の知人・友人に広めてください。

Tokyo Olympic 2020: A Letter to All Young Athletes Who
Dream of Coming to Tokyo in 2020 BY Takashi Hirose
Some Facts You Should Know About Fukushima
by TAKASHI HIROSE, an author of Fukushima Meltdown: The
World’s First Earthquake-Tsunami-Nuclear Disaster (2011)
On September 7, 2013 Japan’s Prime Minister Shinzo Abe
said to the 125th session of the International Olympic Committee, the
following:
Some may have concerns about Fukushima. Let me assure
you, the situation is under control. It has never done and will never do any
damage to Tokyo.
This will surely be remembered as one of the great lies
of modern times. In Japan some people call it the “Abesolute Lie”. Believing
it, the IOC decided to bring the 2020 Olympics to Tokyo.
Japanese government spokespersons defend Abe’s
statement by saying that radiation levels in the Pacific Ocean have not yet
exceeded safety standards.
This recalls the old story of the man who jumped off a
ten-storey building and, as he passed each storey, could be heard saying, “So
far, so good”.
We are talking, remember, about the Pacific Ocean – the
greatest body of water on earth, and for all we know, in the universe. Tokyo
Electric Power Company – TEPCO – has been pouring water through its melted-down
reactor at Fukushima and into the ocean for two and a half years, and so far
the Pacific Ocean has been able to dilute that down to below the safety
standard. So far so good. But there is no prospect in sight of turning off the
water.
Here are eight things you need to know.
1. In a residential area park in Tokyo, 230 km from
Fukushima, the soil was found to have a radiation level of 92,335 Becquerels
per square meter. This is a dangerous level, comparable to what is found around
Chernobyl ④ zone (the site of a nuclear catastrophe in 1986). One reason this
level of pollution is found in the capital is that between Tokyo and Fukushima
there are no mountains high enough to block radioactive clouds. In the capital
people who understand the danger absolutely avoid eating food produced in
eastern Japan.
2. Inside Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Reactors #1 – #3
the pipes (which had circulated cooling water) are broken, which caused a
meltdown. This means the nuclear fuel overheated, melted, and continued to melt
anything it touched. Thus it melted through the bottom of the reactor, and then
through the concrete floor of the building, and sank into the ground. As
mentioned above, for two and a half years TEPCO workers have been desperately
pouring water into the reactor, but it is not known whether the water is
actually reaching the melted fuel. If a middle-strength earthquake comes, it is
likely to destroy totally the already damaged building. And as a matter of
fact, in the last two and a half years earthquakes have continued to hit
Fukushima. (And as an additional matter of fact, just as this letter was being
written Fukushima was hit by another middle-strength earthquake, but it seems
that the building held up one more time. So far so good.) Especially dangerous
is Reactor #4, where a large amount of nuclear fuel is being held in a pool,
like another disaster waiting for its moment.
3. The cooling water being poured into the reactor is
now considered the big problem in Japan. Newspapers and TV stations that
previously strove to conceal the danger of nuclear power, are now reporting on
this danger every day, and criticizing Shinzo Abe for the lie he told the IOC.
The issue is that the highly irradiated water is entering and mixing with the
ground water, and this leakage can’t be stopped, so it is spilling into the
outer ocean. It is a situation impossible to control. In August, 2013 (the
month prior to Abe’s IOC speech) within the site of Fukushima Daiichi Reactor,
radiation was measured at 8500 micro Sieverts per hour. That is enough to kill
anyone who stayed there for a month. This makes it a very hard place for the
workers to get anything done. In Ohkuma-machi, the town where the Daiichi
Nuclear Reactor is located, the radiation was measured in July, 2013 (two
months before Abe’s talk) at 320 micro Sieverts per hour. This level of
radiation would kill a person in two and a half years. Thus, over an area many
kilometers wide, ghost towns are increasing.
4. For the sake of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, an
important fact has been left out from reports that go abroad. Only the fact
that irradiated water is leaking onto the surface of the ground around the
reactor is reported. But deep under the surface the ground water is also being
irradiated, and the ground water flows out to sea and mixes with the seawater
through sea-bottom springs. It is too late to do anything about this.
5. If you go to the big central fish market near Tokyo
and measure the radiation in the air, it registers at about 0.05 micro Sieverts
– a little higher than normal level. But if you measure the radiation near the
place where the instrument that measures the radiation of the fish is located,
the level is two or three times greater (2013 measurement). Vegetables and fish
from around the Tokyo area, even if they are irradiated, are not thrown away.
This is because the level established by the Japanese Government for
permissible radiation in food – which if exceeded the food must not be sold –
is the same as the permissible level of radiation in low-level radioactive
wastes. Which is to say, in Japan today, as the entire country has been
contaminated, we have no choice but to put irradiated garbage on the dinner
table. The distribution of irradiated food is also a problem. Food from near
Fukushima will be sent to another prefecture, and then sent on, relabeled as
produced in the second prefecture. In particular, food distributed by the major
food companies, and food served in expensive restaurants, is almost never
tested for radiation.
6. In Japan, the only radiation from Fukushima Daiichi
Nuclear Reactors that is being measured is the radioactive cesium. However
large amounts of strontium 90 and tritium are spreading all over Japan.
Strontium and tritium’s radiation consists of beta rays, and are very difficult
to measure. However both are extremely dangerous: strontium can cause leukemia,
and tritium can cause chromosome disorder.
7. More dangerous still: in order, they say, to get rid
of the pollution that has fallen over the wide area of Eastern Japan, they are
scraping off the top layer of the soil, and putting it in plastic bags as
garbage. Great mountains of these plastic bags, all weather-beaten, are sitting
in fields in Eastern Japan subject of course to attack by heavy rain and
typhoons. Eventually the plastic will split open and the contents will come
spilling out. When that happens, there will be no place left to take them.

8. On 21 September, 2013 (again, as this letter was
being composed) the newspaper Tokyo Shimbun reported that Tokyo Governor Naoki
Inose said at a press conference that what Abe expressed to the IOC was his
intention to get the situation under control. “It is not,” Inose said, “under
control now.”
It’s a sad story, but this is the present situation of
Japan and of Tokyo. I had loved the Japanese food and this land until the
Fukushima accident occurred. But now…
My best wishes for your health and long life.
