LEVEL 3 ALERT

THIS JUST CAME IN - Tokyo (CNN) -- Japan's nuclear watchdog on Wednesday said a toxic water leak at the tsunami-damaged Fukushima Daiichi power plant has been classified as a level 3 "serious incident" on an international scale. The Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) said it had made the decision after consulting with the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency, said Juntaro Yamada, a spokesman for the regulator. As news emerged last week of the leak of hundreds of tons of radioactive water from a storage tank, the NRA said it was planning to issue the alert, its gravest warning since the massive 2011 earthquake and tsunami that sent three reactors at the plant into meltdown

LETTER FROM EX- RESIDENT OF FUKUSHIMA

Let me release a Letter written by an ex- resident of Fukushima, who I consider is very smart and made the right move by going to Taiwan when everyone else were told it is ‘safe”. She took the trouble to write this very informative Letter, and so it is my duty to let many others have a chance to read and learn from her. It was originally written in Japanese and this is a translated version - I'm a mother who has two kids. I lived in Koriyama, Fukushima. When the earthquake happened, I heard from the radio that the nuclear plant exploded. "We can't go back to Koriyama anymore," was the first thought came to my mind. Sendai, where my husband worked, was not a safe place, either. Although the distance between the nuclear plant and Sendai is about 120 km, the wind direction made it not safe there. After the electric power was restored, we watched TV. A famous professor repeatedly talked about how the nuclear plant functioned, and our government also said that there was no direct effect, but I felt uneasy. The danger of the third reactor is different from others, because it generates power from MOX ( mixed plutonium and uranium oxide) fuel. If the plutonium diffuses, it will be extremely dangerous -- it will make a lot of people die even if the diffuse amount is as little as one teaspoon. None of this information was reported on TV, so many Japanese didn't know it. I knew it only because I had a friend who was devoted to being against MOX fuel. It was terrible that information like this couldn't be broadcast on TV, so I took my two kids to run away to my parents' place -- Kyoto. Many people thought that as long as we stayed 10 km away from the nuclear plant, it was safe enough, but those big US corporations actually asked for their people who were within 80 km (even 100 km) to evacuate. The Fukushima government had possession of the forecast chart of radiation levels in the air, but they didn't publish them. On the contrary, they held a speaking tour to advocate that there was no need to worry about radiation. Unfortunately, I couldn't make my friends who lived there understand how dangerous it was. Many residents listened to the government, who claimed that people could live there without problems and enjoy outdoor activities as usual. Therefore, many residents gave up the idea of escaping from Fukushima [and continued to live there]. The expert (Dr. Yamashita) even said that radiation wouldn't affect happy people. Many people believed him, because he is from Nagasaki, which had suffered from the radiation of the atomic bomb. They thought that he should know more about radiation due to his background. However, the exposure to radiation is more complicated than you can imagine. The more serious problems included eating food that had been exposed to radiation. It was just like letting your internal organs be exposed to radiation. After the explosion, I came back to our home several times - with a hat and mask. Even if I stayed there for a short time, I felt like I had a headache. Once I left there, I abandoned all the clothes and shoes I had been wearing. Before arriving at the refuge, I also washed my car. Three months after the explosion, my friend who lived there told me that many kids there experienced serious nosebleeds and other symptoms like incessant diarrhea, chest pain, recurrent headaches and more severe allergies. Their faces were as red as if they had been sunburned and their vision became poor... After the explosion, more and more residents got sick. Up to now, I've had three Fukushima friends who died in the prime of life because of myocardial infarction. A junior high school student also died because of acute leukemia. The Japanese government didn't ask for local residents to evacuate, but instead paid them to dig, mow, cut down trees and clean buildings with water. These actions couldn't help much, because the contaminated soil was not removed, and when you burned the grass and trees, it resulted in radiation being transferred to smaller particles which then accumulated in the environment. Needless to say, many people died because they did "the cleaning". It was a tough situation, because the key information was being concealed completely. Even now some people still don't understand. Some of them wanted to run away, but in the end they gave up due to disagreements between family members. (Many couples divorced due to reasons like this.) Some people felt they could do nothing and tried to escape from the reality. Also, many people didn't have money to move away. I gave up my friends and my job, even my home, because I knew no matter how cautious I was, I couldn't avoid coming into contact with contaminated water, land and air, so the only thing I could do was to be far away from my home. We finally came to Taiwan because contaminated food was everywhere in Japan, even in kids' school lunches. The debris was transported to burn in Kansai. Kansai received compensation for this, but, at the same time, local residents were harmed. Japanese TV news deceived people, saying that the rising radiation levels were because of atmospheric pollution coming from China. I wanted to protect the lives and future of my children and myself, so I decided to move away from Japan. Everything can be regained, but lost lives cannot. I truly hope that Taiwan won't be like Japan. People need to have a greater understanding of nuclear power before they can make the right decisions and take proper action. Then we can protect our beloved family. In order to protect them, I would like to promote the idea of anti-nuclear power to all Taiwanese.

FUKUSHIMA AND YOU (ESPECIALLY AMERICANS)

First I wish to thank my Readers for visiting me here and from the statistics, most are from America from a total of 64 countries. Today I have a special message to my American friends. What I have to say is important for all but those in America do take heed. Main stream Newspapers and Internet News are heavily edited and not dependable. They only brainwash you. So I believe what I am going to report many of you have not read about it. This is my aim, to be a reliable source of information for the many who have no access to non- main stream News nor have the time to dig Truth up. Many people are loners and do not even know what happened in the street across. I hope to fulfill the role of getting urgent and important News to all these people and as time flies by, perhaps I will be your only reliable source of information- provided the Internet is working. It will be in your interest to drop in here once a while until I shut up and go back to my world of Silence in my hideout. Now USA is very far from Japan, but actually this is not so. Remember the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Plant disaster that was hit by an Earthquake and tsunami in March 2011? Well, the Japanese had withheld information until now, that 330 tons of radiation contaminated water had been gushing into the Pacific Ocean daily for the last 2 years. And this is still happening now! Three explosions in 4 Reactors that are still compromised and the Japanese do not know how to resolve the issues of radiation leakage. Radiation levels in Food (seafood, dairy products, vegetables, strawberries, tomatoes and milk) are higher than before and 40% more babies are being born with thyroid problems and in the years to come, develop into thyroid cancers. Seems like you will need to bring a radioactive counter when you go to the Supermarkets. And look at the bleeding fish that puzzles many biologists
Lately the Japanese are considering building a mile-long 100-foot deep ice wall round the Reactors to stem the contamination of the rushing waters from the mountains nearby that are also used to cool the Reactors but I believe that will also fail. It is not that the Japanese engineers and scientists are incompetent but the scale of the problem is so huge and complex that extra-terrestrial technology is really the answer. Yes indeed, the ETs are also very concerned and some of the fall-out had been mopped up in the initial stages by the friendly ones.
Thus, USA is now under a great threat of radiation- related diseases, starting form the Pacific Coast. There is almost nothing that the USA and Japan can do about it. The damage is far greater than anyone will ever think or believe. And my belief? What goes round, comes round to haunt. It all began in 1945.
