Fukushima: Still Dire For Japan Radiation Still Threatening the U.S. and Canada

The situation is still dire in Japan as trust in the Japanese government has all but dissipated around the world and radiation from Fukushima still threatens Canada and the U.S.

Things are not getting better in Japan.

As a nuclear expert said recently, the “reactors are almost in the same situation they were in the early days of the accident”.

The CNN video report attached to the top left of this page and embedded here discussess in detail the following:

• The unfolding radioactive beef scandal that government of Japan tried to bury.
• The apparent lies from TEPCO that the reactor has been stablized while high levels of radiation continue to spew from Fukushima.
• The likehood that TEPCO's adhoc water cleansing system will not last for an extended period of time.

Here are updates from the last couple of weeks, courtesy of ENENews:

• Electricity cut at Reactors No. 3 and 4, cooling systems shut down — TEPCO says no “major” change in radiation around plant

• Typhoon increases level of radioactive water in Reactor No. 1 basement by 17 inches in a day — Likely to continue risingNow over 1,300 cattle suspected of radiation contamination have been shipped

• NHK: “High levels of radioactivity found extensively” — Japan says air 150 km from Fukushima plant is as radioactive as areas close to meltdown
