(Photo: REUTERS/Tokyo Electric Power) Japan has gone into a state of "maximum alert" after plutonium was found in the soil around the damaged Fukushima nuclear plant and radioactive water leaked from a reactor in the plant.
In the aftermath of the Fukushima nuclear meltdown catastrophe, plutonium has now been found in soil samples taken from five locations around Fukushima. Yes, plutonium. But here’s the real whopper: The media is reporting “Officials insist that the plutonium poses no threat to humans.” (http://news.xinhuanet.com/english20…)
Seriously. I never thought I’d read in the press that “plutonium poses no threat to humans,” but then again, there’s practically nothing in the news these days that isn’t distorted in order to either misinform or de-educate the masses.
Along similar lines, the TSA today applauded the publication of a new study in a conventional medical journal which claims that airport naked body scans are also perfectly safe for you (just like plutonium, eh?) (http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-…).
On both the TSA’s naked body scanners as well as nuclear meltdowns, the message from the government is exactly the same: Don’t worry, what’s a little fallout anyway? It’s all good for ya!
Oh yeah, and mammograms are good for you, too. So is chemotherapy, and vaccines, and mercury fillings and fluoride in the water. Why not just dispose of all the radioactive water from Fukushima by dumping it into the public water supply and announcing it “prevents cavities?” (Don’t repeat this too loudly, or some bureaucrat might actually overhear you and run with this idea…)
Latest status of the six reactors
• Reactor No. 1: Cooling systems still not functional. Reactor core damaged. Lights are on inside the building.
• Reactor No. 2: High radiation. Partial core meltdown admitted. Containment vessel likely damaged by the explosion.
• Reactor No. 3: Deadly MOX fuel. Very high radiation detected in cooling water. Partial core meltdown admitted. Cooling pumps are not working and radiation is too high to allow workers to fix them. Building severely damaged by explosion. Cooling pool may also be damaged.
• Reactor No. 4: Cooling water levels are low and efforts are being made to replenish the water levels.
• Reactor No. 5: Cooling pumps are working, the situation appears stable. This reactor was offline when the tsunami hit.
• Reactor No. 6: Appears to be safely under control. Cooling pumps are operating. This reactor was offline when the tsunami hit.
