  Even the tiniest mistake during an operation to extract over 1,300 fuel rods at the crippled Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan could lead to a series of cascading failures with an apocalyptic outcome, fallout researcher

- If oil was dumping into the Ocean at the rate Nuclear Waste was off the coast of Japan....you can bet we'd have a fricking camera on it and watch it live on TV....where is the outrage....oh that's right we don't care. 

- When the Japanese girls were here they said that wasn't true.

- I don't believe that for one second those girls are given the proper information about that....or that the Japanese government wants any negative press on the matter, they were essentially ambassadors. 

- And that their economy was suffering because of the assumptions? I'm not saying I'm right, but I'm saying it seems they're not worried about it.

- Wouldn't you want major damage control? 

- Well that's true, they have said in the past they have 100% literacy rate too.

Fukushima now in State of Emergency, Leaking 300 Tons of Radioactive Water into the Ocean Daily

If anyone tells you low level radiation is not harmfull... then think how could this be a true statment ... if there is so much about micro-life we do not know..."One gram of soil contains some 2,500,000,000 microorganisms (bacteria, microfungi, and protozoa). Up to 3 kg of the mass of an adult human body is made up of bacteria, viruses, and microfungi. In spite of the fact that these represent such important and fundamentally live ecosystems, there are only scarce data on the various microbiological consequences of the Chernobyl catastrophe". - Nesterenko, A. V., Nesterenko, V. B. and Yablokov

More Than Two Years After The Meltdown, The Situation At Fukushima Remains Frighteningly Out Of...www.businessinsider.com

• A string of new incidents at Fukushima show that more than two years after a tsunami crippled the nuclear facility, it remains a toxic time bomb.
  .........“There is only a minor effect on the environment because it is about the same level as the upper limits of emission standards during operating periods,” a TEPCO official said...'.
  TEPCO's admission, and spin, is startling. The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear catastrophe, in this regard, is only 10-100 times worse than "normal" operations used to be at the six reactor complex for a single year?! Obviously, Fukushima Daiichi released large amounts of hazardous tritium into the environment as part of its "routine" operations for four decades before the earthquake and tsunami devastated the site!
  
  TEPCO's attitude is not unlike that of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), which has washed its hands of an epidemic of tritium leaks into groundwater at U.S. atomic reactors. NRC, at the highest levels, has stood by its assertion that tritium leaks have "no nexus with health and safety." After all, NRC allows tritium to be "routinely" discharged in large amounts into the living environment, by permit, since it cannot be filtered from nuclear power plants' liquid releases.
  
  This of course flies in the face of the fact that tritium -- radioactive hydrogen -- is a clinically-proven cause of cancer, birth defects, and genetic damage. Tritium, with a hazardous persistence of 120 years, can integrate at the most intimate levels of the human anatomy, right down to the DNA molecule. If tritium organically binds, it can remain lodged in the human body for long periods of time, doing significant damage. The health hazards associated with tritium exposure have been well-documented, including in peer-reviewed scientific journals, despite the nuclear establishment's downplaying of the risks to the contrary.
