Dear all,

Thank you all for visiting, reading and sharing the news with me on the Fukushima Appeal Blog. I’ve kept it running since February 2012. Unfortunately, I will need some break now to attend to some of my health issues.

I would like to thank this blog and its supporters for giving me an opportunity to become a part of the slowly awakening global community during this very important time of global change. I had zero knowledge of nuclear before the Fukushima disaster, and was and still am a just normal citizen. It’s been hard to see Japan becoming a criminal, immoral and authoritarian country since the Fukushima Disaster. So it’s been a huge awakening and healing process to have a platform to speak out instead of feeling powerless, angry and sad about it. With the new secret law that is going to be introduced in Japan soon, Japanese people will need more help than at any other time in its history from foreign bloggers, doctors and scientists. Please remember Fukushima. I hope that the more difficulties we may encounter, the stronger and connected we will become to fight against injustice and be able to act from our heart space. (Mia)

日本の皆さん、がんばってください。 再稼動反対、子供を守れ! 1mSv/yの約束を守れ!

Title: Modelling the global atmospheric transport and deposition of radionuclides from the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear accident
Source:  Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics
Authors: T. Christoudias and J. Lelieveld
Date: 2013
Emphasis Added
We modeled the global atmospheric dispersion and deposition of radionuclides released from the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant accident. [...]
We obtained good agreement with measurements of 133Xe, at both T255 and T106 resolution. The comparison for 137Cs is less favorable, though not systematically biased based on the 137Cs emission estimate of 36.7 (20.1–53.1) PBq [petabecquerels (quadrillion becquerels)] by Stohl et al. (2012). This is equivalent to somewhat less than half the 137Cs source by Chernobyl (85 PBq, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) (2006)). The estimate of 13 PBq by Chino et al. (2011) (revised to 8.8 PBq by Terada et al. (2012) and confirmed as a lower bound of 12 PBq by Winiarek et al. (2012), with an upper bound of 210 PBq, was also included in our comparison.
[...] Although the prevailing wind direction during the accident was in easterly direction, some of the atmospheric radioactivity was transported toward the west and southwest, and deposited in Japan and to a lesser extent reached the Philippines. Based on the above mentioned emission estimates, we calculated that an area of Japan of 34,000 km2 was contaminated by more than 40 kBqm−2 of 137Cs and 131I, to which 9.4 million people were exposed. Our model results indicate that a surface area of 60,000 km2 received a total deposition greater than 10 kBqm−2, a region inhabited by 46 million people.
[...] The research leading to these results has received funding from the European Research Council under the European Union’s Seventh FrameworkProgramme.

Thomas Snitch, Senior Professor of Science at Institute for Advanced Studies (United Nations  University, Tokyo), ), Japan Times, Sept. 23, 2013: Let the world help at Fukushima No. 1 [...] It would be useful if the government of Japan would avail themselves of the assistance and technology that could be provided by foreign corporations with experience in the decommissioning of nuclear plants. [...] The consequences of the continued delay in addressing the real challenges at Fukushima have international consequences. So, why not allow the international nuclear community the opportunity to help?
Colin P. A. Jones is a professor at Doshisha Law School in Kyoto Japan Times, Sept. 17, 2013: : [...] If anything called for a nation’s government to quickly intervene actively on a massive scale and assume direct responsibility for a situation, it would be the crisis that continues to unfold 200 km from Tokyo. [...] here we are 2½ years later, learning highly radioactive water has been leaking into the groundwater and the ocean and that storage tanks full of even more radioactive water are starting to fail. Surely it is a basic fact of life in nuclear power that fuel rods need to be kept cool whether sitting in a containment pool or melted through the reactor floor? The accumulation of radioactive water at the Fukushima plant was an utterly predictable problem almost from the day things first started to explode. Tepco gets a failing grade here for sure, but what about the people expecting a single company to deal with a problem of such unprecedented magnitude in the first place? [...]

Video: Recriticality Concerns at Fukushima — BBC: Professor warns underground ice walls could become ‘neutron reflectors’ and cause nuclear chain reaction Title: Jaczko, Johnson & Tsutsui, The Ongoing Fukushima Daiichi Crisis
Source: Foreign Correspondents’ Club of Japan
Date: September 24, 2013
Martin Kölling, reporter at Handelsblatt (German financial newpaper): Regarding this frozen wall […] some are concerned that this ice wall could work as a neutron reflector and increase the risk of recriticality in the reactor cores. Have you heard about this concern and what do you think about it?
Gregory Jaczko, Former Chairman of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission: I have not heard of the issue of neutron reflection. My gut reaction is that that would not necessarily be an issue. You have water at the site. So I would be skeptical that that would be an issue to be concerned about. But certainly I’m sure it’s something that should be looked at if there is a possibility of that, but I would not initially think that that’s something that would be of concern.
BBC, Sept. 4, 2013: Dr. Komei Hosokawa from Kyoto Seika University, Japan, warns that in some respects, the ice wall idea could make matters worse: “Underground ice walls surrounding the reactor basement may work as neutron reflectors, which might make an easier condition for the melted fuel debris to go back to criticality (i.e. chain reaction).” Watch the FCCJ event here




Fukushima residents question radiation cleanup effort 福島県住民、放射能汚染の除染に疑問


(Source) http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/fukushima-residents-question-radiation-cleanup-effort-1.1856332
Local governments desperate for evacuees to return 
Across much of Fukushima’s rolling green countryside they descend on homes like antibodies around a virus, men wielding low-tech tools against a very modern enemy: radiation.
Power hoses, shovels and mechanical diggers are used to scour toxins that rained down from the sky 30 months ago. The job is exhausting, expensive and, according to some, doomed to failure.
Today, a sweating four-man crew wearing surgical masks and boiler suits labours in 32 degree heat at the home of Hiroshi Saito, 71, and his wife Terue, 68. Their aim is to bring down average radiation around this home from approximately 3 to 1.5 microsieverts per hour.



  • Hiroshi Saito, 71, and his wife Terue, 68, live near the city of Minamisoma, about 25 kilometres from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant. The city has set up a permanent office to coordinate decontamination work aimed at reducing radiation levels, with a budget this year alone of $230 million. (Miguel A. Quintana)
My youngest grandchild has never been here,” he says, because radiation levels in this hilly part of the municipality remain several times above what they were before the accident. Since 2011, the family reunites in Soma, around 20 km away.
For a few days during March 2011, after a string of explosions at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant roughly 25 kilometers to the south, rain and snow laced with radiation fell across this area. It contaminated thousands of acres of rich farming land and forests.
More than 160,000 people nearest the plant were ordered to evacuate. The Saito’s home is a few kilometres outside the 20-km compulsory evacuation zone, but like thousands of others, they left voluntarily.
When they returned two weeks later their neat, two-story country house appeared undamaged, but it was covered in an invisible poison only detectable with beeping Geiger counters.
Nobody knows for certain how dangerous the radiation is.

Cleanup effort

Japan’s central government refined its policy in December 2011, defining evacuation zones as “areas where cumulative dose levels might reach 20 millisieverts per year,” the typical worldwide limit for nuclear power plant engineers and other radiation workers.  
A cleanup crew near Minamisoma cleans up soil and other material contaminated with radiation. (Miguel A. Quintana)
The price tag for cleaning a heavily mountainous and wooded area covering 2,000 square kilometres – more than one-third the size of Prince Edward Island - has government heads spinning. In August, experts from the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology put the total cost of decontamination at $50 billion US.    The government has set aside $2.9 billion for decontamination in fiscal 2013, and requested another $3.26 billion for next year.
Mr Saito’s home falls within the boundaries of Minamisoma, a city that has never recovered from the disaster. 
Most of its 71,000 population fled voluntarily from the Daiichi accident 20 km south. A third have yet to return, spooked by lingering radiation and the fear of another calamity at the still unstable facility. 
We’ve worked hard to make our city livable again,” says mayor Katsunobu Sakurai. “But everything we’ve done could be for nothing unless the problems at the plant are fixed.”
Soaring bill
Fighting radiation is now one of Minamisoma’s few growth industries.  The city has set up a permanent office to coordinate decontamination, with a budget this year alone of $230 million.
Since last September, a crew of 650 men has laboured around the local streets and countryside, cleaning schools, homes and farms. By the end of the year, the operation will employ nearly 1,000 people – a large chunk of the town’s remaining able-bodied workforce.
Despite the investment of money and manpower, the results of the cleanup effort are questionable.
Radiation levels in most areas of Fukushima have dropped by around 40 per cent since the disaster began, according to government estimates, but those figures are widely disbelieved. Official monitoring posts almost invariably give lower readings than hand-held Geiger counters, the result of a deliberate strategy of misinformation, say critics.
They remove the ground under the posts, pour some clean sand, lay down concrete plus a metal plate, and put the monitoring post on top,” says Nobuyoshi Ito, a farmer who opted to stay behind in the heavily contaminated village of Iitate, about 40 km from the plant. “In effect, this shields the radiation from the ground. I asked the mayor, why don’t you protest to the central government? But the municipality isn’t doing anything to fix this situation.”
The disagreement over actual radiation levels is far from academic. Local governments are desperate for evacuees to return and must decide on what basis, in terms of exposure to radiation, evacuation orders will be lifted.
But if they unilaterally declare their areas safe, evacuees could be forced to choose between returning home and losing vital monthly compensation from Tokyo Electric Power Co. (Tepco), operator of the Daiichi complex.

For the refugees, one worrying precedent has been set in the municipality of Date, which lies outside the most contaminated areas. In December 2012, the local government lifted a “special evacuation” order imposed on 129 households because of a hotspot, arguing that radiation doses had fallen below 20 millisieverts per year (mSv/yr). Three months later the residents lost the $1,000 a month they were receiving from Tepco for “psychological stress.”
Still, local leaders say they believe the decontamination will work.
Field tests have demonstrated we can bring levels down to 5 millisieverts per year, and that is our objective,” says Norio Kanno, mayor of Iitate.
He accepts that some residents might refuse to return until exposure falls further – the limit recommended by the International Commission on Radiological Protection is 1 mSv/yr. But he insists nobody will be excluded from any relocation plan.
"It's all a question of balance, of where to put our priorities,” he says. “In the end, we need to reach a consensus as a community.”

Dump sites



Workers move waste containing radiated soil, leaves and debris from the decontamination operation at a storage site in Naraha town, inside the 20 km evacuation zone around the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. Communities are wary of storing the growing amount of contaminated material. (Issei Kato / Reuters)
The Fukushima cleanup, however, faces another problem: securing sites to store contaminated soil, leaves and sludge.
Local governments throughout Japan have refused to accept the toxic waste, meaning it will probably stay in Fukushima for good.
Many landowners balk at hosting “interim” dumps where contaminated material can be held – in principle for three years – until the central government builds a mid-term storage facility. The waste is stored under blue tarpaulins across much of the prefecture, sometimes close to schools and homes. 
At Mr. Saito’s home, the decontamination crew has finished a 10-day shift, power-hosing his roof, digging drains and removing 5 centimetres of topsoil from his land. The cleanup has cut radiation by about half, to about 1.5 microsieverts, but in the contaminated trees a few metres behind his house the reading is still 2.1 microsieverts. The trees are on a different property, meaning they cannot be cut down without the approval of the owner.
Unless you do something about those trees, all your work is useless,” he berates an official from the city.
Sometime, perhaps, the crew will have to return, he speculates.
Whatever happens, we will never have the kind of life we had before. It’s clear that my grandchildren will never come here again.


Radiation dosage rates
The International Commission on Radiological Protection has the following guidelines for exposure to radiation.
  • Recommended limit for public exposure: 1 millisievert per year (mSv/yr), or 0.114 microsieverts per hour (μSv/h) assuming constant exposure.
  • Iitate mayor's target for decontamination: 5 mSv/yr or 0.570 μSv/h.
  • Japanese government standard for ordering evacuation: 20 mSv/yr or 2.283 μSv/h.
  • Limit for nuclear workers in Japan: 50 mSv/yr or 5.707 μSv/h

Japanese Lawmaker says Abe lied to Olympic committee 増子輝彦参院議員、安倍首相はオリンピック委員会で嘘をついたと発言

http://puremalarkey.com/2013/09/21/japanese-lawmaker-says-abe-lied-to-olympic-committee/
Sep 21
Posted by unredundant
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe declared before the International Olympic Committee that the situation at Fukushima was “under control” and that “effects from the contaminated water have been perfectly blocked within the (man made) bay” adjacent to the nuclear plant.
After touring the plant on Thursday, Abe repeated his assurances. He told reporters, “effects from contaminated water have been perfectly blocked within the bay. By stating this clearly, I want to bring to an end harmful rumors about Fukushima.”
Other government officials have backed Abe’s claims, pointing to monitoring results which show radiation levels within the bay within safety limits set by the government. However, some experts say the levels only remain low because seawater entering the bay is diluting its contents.
In fact Tepco itself admitted that a large volume of water was escaping the bay and entering the ocean. According to a simulation Tepco ran, a maximum of 10 trillion becquerels of radioactive strontium-90 and 20 trillion becquerels of cesium-137 may have already reached the ocean. That doesn’t sound “perfectly contained” to me. 

Teruhiko Mashiko, a member of Japan’s diet’s upper house and vice president of the opposition party. The Democratic Party of Japan, said in an interview with The Japan Times, “During the presentation for the Olympic Games, Prime Minister Abe told a lie. This is a big problem. The government should invest more people, money and technologies to turn their lies into truths.” Mr. Mashiko represents Fukushima Prefecture in the diet. 

Mashiko has voiced his concerns about the storage tanks holding contaminated water at the plant. Of the more than 1000 tanks at the site, 350 are of the less sturdy flange type instead of the more durable welded tanks. Of the 350, 5 have already sprung leaks. Mashiko also claimed that last spring, a local tank manufactured warned that the tanks were not very good quality and could start linking within 2 years. Tepco approached the tank maker, asking for 6 low cost tanks to be made within a month. The company refused because the quality would have been poor and the contract conditions were bad. 

At recent news conferences, a Tepco spokesman has repeatedly refused to comment on Mashiko’s remarks or give any information about storage tank contracts. He stated Tepco does not disclose information about private contracts. Many believe Tepco has been using the cheaper tanks to try and save money on the growing costs of the operation. 

Instead of making blanket statements and giving empty reassurances, the Japanese government should be taking action. The area of the plant has been hit by an earthquake and a typhoon in the past week alone. Every single one of those 350 cheaply built tanks should be replaced immediately. The Japanese government needs to stop relying on Tepco to manage the situation. It is abundantly clear that Tepco is not up to the job, nor does it have the confidence or trust of the public. 

As far as Mr. Abe is concerned, I think we should start calling him “Dishonest Abe”. (For non Americans “Honest Abe” was a title given to American President Abraham Lincoln.)
We need to see actions not just words from Dishonest Abe. Declaring dangerous situations safe and under control is not just dishonest, it is dangerous. It is time for Dishonest Abe to come up with real solutions and not empty platitudes.

http://ruscombegreen.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/the-nuclear-industry-government-and.html
Have you ever wondered why we receive so little information about the ill-fated nuclear reactors at Fukushima? Or the massive, year-long protests against proposed new nuclear reactors on the East and West coasts of India? Or even about Scotland’s decision to be nuclear-free? Why do we hear so little about the ill-effects of nuclear power, its enormous cost and legacy of dangerous radioactive waste?

世界の市民の皆様、安倍首相は嘘をついています Dear citizens in the world, Prime Minister Abe has been telling lies!

(Source) http://savekidsjapan.blogspot.jp/2013/09/dear-citizens-in-world-prime-minister.html

I was totally appauled when I heard what our Prime Minister had said in the International Olympic Committee meeing, I believe many share the same feeling.

 
「汚染水は0.3平方km範囲内で完全にブロックされている」というセリフに唖然、その範囲外で何万ベクレルという魚が見つかっているというのに。

"The contamination of the water is blocked within 0.3 square km." What is he saying while tens of thousands Bq/kg fish have been found outside of this area?


そしてやはり私が「酷い!」だと思ったのは以下のセリフです。

Moreover, what I thought unimaginable was the following line.

「健康問題は今までも現在も将来も全く問題ないと約束する」
"There have never been any health hazards and will never be."


安倍首相、これはいったいどういうことですか?

Prime Minister Abe, what do you mean by this?

福島ではすでに甲状腺がんと疑いの子供が43人も出ている!これは通常の発生率からすると100倍以上のものです。

There have been already 43 child thyroid cancer and the suspected cases!  This is more than a hundred times higher than normal incidence rate!
http://takenouchimari.blogspot.jp/2013/08/2013731-fukushima-children-thyroid.html


しかも、私が福島のお母さんから聞いた話では、既にリンパに転移した子供たちも複数出ています。

In addition, according to a talk of Fukushima mother, there have been at least mutiple number of thyroid cancer kids who had already lymph metastasis.


ところが、IAEAとの合意も取り交わしている福島医科大は、甲状腺がんの転移に関しては、なんと一切発表しないと言っています。

However, Fukushima Medical University who concluded an agreement with IAEA is not going to report on cancer metastasis of any patients.

200km以上離れた東京でさえ、かなりの汚染があるし、健康障害が出ているのです。
Even in Tokyo, more than 200km away, there is tremendous level of contamination and some have been complaining health hazards.
http://savekidsjapan.blogspot.jp/2013/01/i-2011315tokyo-march-15-2011.html

それも含めて今年3月にはIOCにも東京の医師や政治家、活動家らと有志で訴えたほどです。

Including the Tokyo contamination and health hazards issue, I submitted a petition to IOC jointly with medical  doctors, politicians, activists, etc.  

まったく影響されなかったようで残念ですが。特に東京そのものの汚染と健康障害には日本のみならず、国際社会から無視されました

To our regret, our petition did not give any impact...ESPECIALLY, CONTAMINATION AND HEALTH HAZARDS IN TOKYO ITSELF HAVE BEEN IGNORED NOT ONLY JAPAN BUT INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY!

http://savekidsjapan.blogspot.jp/2013/03/letter-to-ioc.html

そして去年の秋は、元スイス大使の村田光平氏が「汚染地帯の子どもたちは疎開させてください」と直訴するも、安倍氏は無視されたそうですね。


In the autumn of 2012, the former Swiss Ambassador Mitsuhei Murata directly pleaded, "Please relocate kids from contaminated areas," but Mr. Abe didn't pay any attention.


事故前の2006年には、安倍氏は「原発の津波による電源喪失事故の心配はない」と国会答弁で発言されたそうです。事故発生の責任の一端は、安倍氏にもあるはずです。
 In 2006, Mr. Abe was questioned in the Parliament whether there was any danger of station-blackout to be caused by Tsunami, and answered, "No problem." The accident was partly caused by Mr. Abe!


安倍氏の祖父、岸信介氏は先の戦争中、商工大臣だった方でA級戦犯、しかしCIAとの密約により、その後首相になりました。

Prime Minister Abe, your grandfather was the Commerce Minister during World War II and Class A criminal, but through secret negotiations with CIA, he became the Prime Minister. 

戦時中のアジアの方々に対する2000万ともいわれる人々を殺戮した戦時中の日本の大臣が戦後、首相になるなどとはありえない話だと思います。(そうではないですか?アジアの皆さん!)


I think it is out of question that a person responsible to the death of 20 million Asian people could become the Prime Minister after the war.  (Dear citizens of Asian nations, isn't that so?)

岸氏の孫であっても、この国のトップになる資格はないと私は思う。アジアの人々の対する反省の色が全くない安倍氏に関しては特にです。

Even his grand son should not be entitled to be the top of this country especially when he does not show much remorse.

そしてあのおぞましい731部隊による人体実験に対する反省の色も全くない。731と書かれた戦闘機で記念撮影をする神経を本当に疑ってしまいます。

そして首相は、世界には、健康問題など全くないとアピールしているのですね。 

And now Mr. Abe, you are appealing to the entire world, "There have been no health problem." 

 
ではなぜ日本政府は事故後に福島と宮城だけ白血病の統計を取るのを事故後に辞めたのですか?

Then why did the Japanese government stopped collecting statsistics of leukemia patients only in Fukushima and Miyagi prefectures after Fukushima accident? 


そして国内の子供の甲状腺がん多発を知りながら!犯罪でしょう?子供たちを逃がして助けないのですか?!

You know the news of boosted number of Fukushima child thyroid cancer and suspected cases announced in August!  Isn't this a crime.  DO HELP YOUR PEOPLE'S CHILDREN RIGHT NOW!

http://savekidsjapan.blogspot.jp/2013/08/44-44-thyroid-cancer-and-suspected.html

福島では幼いご兄弟が二人とも白血病になってしまったお母さんが、錯乱状態になったと聞きました。また甲状腺がんがリンパ転移した子を持つお母さんが「もうだめだ」と嘆いていると。

In Fukushima, I heard a mother became mentally devastated since her two youngsons became leukemia simultaneously.  I heard a cry, "there is no hope..." from a mother whose kid became thyroid cancer with lymph metastasis.
 
子供たちが「どうせ病気になるんでしょ?死ぬんでしょ?」と言っていると。
I heard childrens' voices, "We are going to be sick and die, aren't we?"
 
首相のあなたが、健康被害はないと隠し、逆に福島に人々を帰還させている間に。2020年までにすべての福島県民を帰還させ、オリンピックに興じようとしている。このような残酷な話がありますか?

While the Prime Minister conceal these people's health hazards and encourage people to go back to Fukushima..not only that, your government intends to return ALL FUKUSHIMA PEOPLE BACK TO THEIR HOMETOWN BY 2020 TO ENJOY OLYMPIC GAMES.  Is there any more cruel story than this?
 
過去の真実を見ないものは、現在の真実も見ない。
あなたは去年の国会で「よく勉強したが、従軍慰安婦はいなかったことが判明した」とありえない話をしています。
 
 Those who do not see the past truth do not see the present truth. 

Last year, I heard your statement in the Parliament on TV, "I studied about comfort women a lot and found out that there had been no comfort women."  This is solely unforgivable.
 
私は今ほど、日本国民であることが情けなく、悲しみ、怒っている事はありません。 
I had never felt so ashamed, sad and angry as being a citizen in Japan.
