that radiation levels at radiation monitoring stations all
over the country are elevated. As you will notice, this is particularly
true along the west coast of the United States. Every single day, 300
tons of radioactive water from Fukushima enters the Pacific Ocean. That
means that the total amount of radioactive material released from
Fukushima is constantly increasing, and it is steadily building up in
our food chain.
Ultimately, all of this nuclear radiation will outlive all of us by a
very wide margin. They are saying that it could take up to 40 years to
clean up the Fukushima disaster, and meanwhile countless innocent
people will develop cancer and other health problems as a result of
exposure to high levels of nuclear radiation. We are talking about a
nuclear disaster that is absolutely unprecedented, and it is constantly
getting worse. The following are 28 signs that the west coast of North
America is being absolutely fried with nuclear radiation from
Fukushima…
1. Polar bears, seals and walruses along the Alaska coastline are suffering
from fur loss and open sores…
Wildlife experts are studying whether fur loss and open
sores detected in nine polar bears in recent weeks is widespread and
related to similar incidents among seals and walruses.
The bears were among 33 spotted near Barrow, Alaska, during routine survey
work along the Arctic coastline. Tests showed they had "alopecia, or
loss of fur, and other skin lesions," the U.S. Geological Survey said in a
statement.
2. There is an epidemic of sea lion deaths along the California coastline…
At island rookeries off the Southern California coast, 45
percent of the pups born in June have died, said Sharon Melin, a
wildlife biologist for the National Marine Fisheries Service based in
Seattle. Normally, less than one-third of the pups would die. It's
gotten so bad in the past two weeks that the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration declared an "unusual mortality event."3. Along
the Pacific coast of Canada and the Alaska coastline, the population of
sockeye salmon is at a historic low. Many are blaming Fukushima.
4. Something is causing fish all along the west coast of Canada to bleed
from their gills, bellies and eyeballs.
5. A vast field of radioactive debris from Fukushima that is approximately
the size of California has crossed the Pacific Ocean and is starting to
collide with the west coast.
6. It is being projected that the radioactivity of coastal waters off the
U.S. west coast could double over the next five to six years.
7. Experts have found very high levels of cesium-137 in plankton living in
the waters of the Pacific Ocean between Hawaii and the west coast.
8. One test in California found that 15 out of 15 bluefin tuna were
contaminated with radiation from Fukushima.
9. Back in 2012, the Vancouver Sun reported that cesium-137 was being found
in a very high percentage of the fish that Japan was selling to Canada…
• 73 percent of mackerel tested
• 91 percent of the halibut
• 92 percent of the sardines
• 93 percent of the tuna and eel
• 94 percent of the cod and anchovies
• 100 percent of the carp, seaweed, shark and monkfish
10. Canadian authorities are finding extremely high levels of nuclear
radiation in certain fish samples…
Some fish samples tested to date have had very high levels
of radiation: one sea bass sample collected in July, for example, had
1,000 becquerels per kilogram of cesium.11. Some experts believe that we
could see very high levels of cancer along the west coast just from people
eating contaminated fish…
"Look at what's going on now: They're dumping huge amounts
of radioactivity into the ocean — no one expected that in 2011," Daniel
Hirsch, a nuclear policy lecturer at the University of
California-Santa Cruz, told Global Security Newswire. "We could have large
numbers of cancer from ingestion of fish."12. BBC News recently reported
that radiation levels around Fukushima are "18 times higher" than previously
believed.
13. An EU-funded study concluded that Fukushima released up to 210
quadrillion becquerels of cesium-137 into the atmosphere.
14. Atmospheric radiation from Fukushima reached the west coast of the
United States within a few days back in 2011.
15. At this point, 300 tons of contaminated water is pouring into the
Pacific Ocean from Fukushima every single day.
16. A senior researcher of marine chemistry at the Japan
Meteorological Agency's Meteorological Research Institute says that "30
billion becquerels of radioactive cesium and 30 billion becquerels of
radioactive strontium" are being released into the Pacific Ocean from
Fukushima every single day.
17. According to Tepco, a total of somewhere between 20 trillion and 40
trillion becquerels of radioactive tritium have gotten into the Pacific
Ocean since the Fukushima disaster first began.
18. According to a professor at Tokyo University, 3 gigabecquerels of
cesium-137 are flowing into the port at Fukushima Daiichi every single day.
19. It has been estimated that up to 100 times as much nuclear radiation has
been released into the ocean from
Fukushima than was released during the entire Chernobyl disaster.
20. One recent study concluded that a very large plume of
cesium-137 from the Fukushima disaster will start flowing into U.S.
coastal waters early next year…
Ocean simulations showed that the plume of radioactive
cesium-137 released by the Fukushima disaster in 2011 could begin
flowing into U.S. coastal waters starting in early 2014 and peak in
2016.21. It is being projected that significant levels of cesium-137 will
reach every corner of the Pacific Ocean by the year 2020.
22. It is being projected that the entire Pacific Ocean will soon "have
cesium levels 5 to 10 times higher" than what we witnessed during the era of
heavy atomic bomb testing in the Pacific many decades ago.
23. The immense amounts of nuclear radiation getting into the
water in the Pacific Ocean has caused environmental activist Joe
Martino to issue the following warning…
Your days of eating Pacific Ocean fish are over.24. The Iodine-131,
Cesium-137 and Strontium-90 that are constantly coming from Fukushima are
going to affect the health of those living the the
northern hemisphere for a very, very long time. Just consider what Harvey
Wasserman had to say about this…
Iodine-131, for example, can be ingested into the thyroid,
where it emits beta particles (electrons) that damage tissue. A plague
of damaged thyroids has already been reported among as many as 40
percent of the children in the Fukushima area. That percentage can only go
higher. In developing youngsters, it can stunt both physical and
mental growth. Among adults it causes a very wide range of ancillary
ailments, including cancer.
Strontium-90's half-life is around 29 years. It mimics calcium and goes to
our bones.25. According to a recent Planet Infowars report, the California
coastline is being transformed into "a dead zone"…
The California coastline is becoming like a dead zone.
If you haven't been to a California beach lately, you probably don't know
that the rocks are unnaturally CLEAN – there's hardly any kelp,
barnacles, sea urchins, etc. anymore and the tide pools are similarly
eerily devoid of crabs, snails and other scurrying signs of life… and
especially as compared to 10 – 15 years ago when one was wise to wear
tennis shoes on a trip to the beach in order to avoid cutting one's feet on
all the STUFF of life – broken shells, bones, glass, driftwood,
etc.
There are also days when I am hard-pressed to find even a half dozen
seagulls and/or terns on the county beach.
You can still find a few gulls trolling the picnic areas and some of the
restaurants (with outdoor seating areas) for food, of course, but, when I
think back to 10 – 15 years ago, the skies and ALL the beaches were
literally filled with seagulls and the haunting sound of their cries
both day and night…
NOW it's unnaturally quiet.26. A study conducted last year came to the
conclusion that radiation from the Fukushima nuclear
disaster could negatively affect human life along the west coast of
North America from Mexico to Alaska "for decades".
27. According to the Wall Street Journal, it is being projected that the
cleanup of Fukushima could take up to 40 years to complete.
28. Yale Professor Charles Perrow is warning that if the cleanup of
Fukushima is not handled with 100% precision that humanity could be
threatened "for thousands of years"…
Conditions in the unit 4 pool, 100 feet from the ground,
are perilous, and if any two of the rods touch it could cause a nuclear
reaction that would be uncontrollable. The radiation emitted from all
these rods, if they are not continually cool and kept separate, would
require the evacuation of surrounding areas including Tokyo. Because of the
radiation at the site the 6,375 rods in the common storage pool
could not be continuously cooled; they would fission and all of humanity
will be threatened, for thousands of years.Are you starting to understand
why so many people are so deeply concerned about what is going on at
Fukushima?
