Just
after the Fukushima catastrophe, I made a calculation and a
prediction based on the scientific model of the European Committee on
Radiation Risk [ECRR] presented it at the German Society for
Radiation Protection/ECRR conference in Berlin in May 2011. This
showed that there would be some 200,000 extra cancers in a roughly10
million population in the200-kilometre radius of the sit in the next
10 years, and 400,000 over 50 years. The current risk model adhered
to and employed by the Japanees government is that of the
International Commission on Radiological Protection, ICRP. This
predicts that no detectable cancers will be seen as a result of the
“very low doses” received bythe population.
It
is this nonsense that allows them to say it is safe to live in
contaminated areas, so long as the annual “dose” is lower than
about 20 mSv/y, and to refuse to evacuate the children from such
places.
..... The 2005 Japanese national
incidence rate for thyroid cancer for ages0-18 is given in a recent
peer-reviewed report as 0.0% per 100,000. That is to say, there are
no cases.
The
Japan Times tells us: “Researchers at Fukushima Medical
University, which has been talking the leading role in the study,
have said they do not believe the most recent cases are related to
the nuclear crisis.”
[...]
The
United Nations Scientific Committee on the effects of Atomic
Radiation, UNSEAR, would agree, also the World Health Organization
(Since 1959, part of the International Atomic Energy Agency [IAEA] as
far as research into radiation and health is concerned). On the
basis of the ICRP model, you would not expect(says radiation and
healthsupremo Dr. Wolfgang Weiss) to see what is clearly happening:
an accelerating thyroid cancer epidemic worse than and earlier than
the Chernobyl thyroid cancer epidemic.
It
is one more piece of evidence that the current ICRP risk model
employed by the Japanese
(and all other world governments) is totally wrong and unsafe and
must urgently be abandoned. Internal radiation exposure as the ECRR
approach shows, cannot be assessed by the simple concept of “absorbed
dose”.
Weiss
and the other radiation agency apparatchiks well know that the
ICRP and the other global radiation protection agencies UNSCEAR, IAEA
and WHO are run by people (like themselves) who are not experts on
internal radiation pollution and health, and rarely have any real
hands-on research expertise. They rely exclusively on the Hiroshima
bomb studies which ignored internal radiation, the black rainof
uranium that affected the controls outside the city and the control
entrants after the bomb.
As
more evidence emerges from this ghastly inadvertent Fukushima
experiment, we will see more and more that we have governments and
radiation agencies which are wielding unsafe and incorrect scientific
assessments of reality. Additionally, we have what might become one
of the most serious global public health events of human history
being overseen by a private profit-making company, TEPCO with no good
track record of competence or believability.

It
was reported recently that a survey of thyroid conditions in young
people aged 0-18 by Fukushima Medical University found 12 confirmed
cases and 15 suspected cases of thyroid cancer in 178,000 individuals
screened. This is in a two-year period. The 2005 Japanese national
incidence rate for thyroid cancer for ages0-18 is given in a recent
peer-reviewed report as 0.0% per 100,000. That is to say, there are
no cases.
