Radioactive Food Found in Japan


Yesterday Japan banned the sale of food grown in the area around the wrecked Fukushima nuclear plant. This is after Japanese authorities found milk and spinach contaminated with radiation. 

The disclosure Saturday by Japanese authorities that milk and spinach have shown higher-than-normal levels of radiation contamination. This has raised concerns about food safety and supplies in one of Japan's most heavily populated regions.


However they said there was no immediate risk to health, amid concerns about what effect radiation leaking from the stricken plant will have on the country.

The Next Chernobyl?

Japan's Fukushima radiates as the next Chernobyl?

Watch this video for similarities and dissimilarities  of Fukushima and Chernobyl.


The Fukushima Meltdown

The radiation level rose at the trouble Fukushima nuclear power plant today after the military helicopters dropped water at its crisis-hit No. 3 reactor, Kyodo News cites Tepco as saying.

The meltdown caused the level around the Fukushima Dai-chi plant's administration building rose to 4,000 microsievert per hour at 1:30 pm from 3,700 in the morning.

The Fukushima meltdown was caused by a tsunami that struck the nuclear plant and its normal cooling systems left failing almost a week ago.

From Wikipedia...
The Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant (福島第一原子力発電所 Fukushima Dai-Ichi Genshiryoku Hatsudensho?, Fukushima I NPP), often referred to as Fukushima Dai-ichi (Dai-ichi simply means number 1), is a nuclear power plant located in the town of Okuma in the Futaba District of Fukushima Prefecture, Japan, first commissioned in 1971. The plant consists of six boiling water reactors.

Turning Japanese

Sending a towering wall of water about 40 feet high in some areas of Japan with more than 15,000 people were either killed or left missing by the devastating earthquake. A tsunami ravaged northeastern part of Japan last week.

A massive 8.9 magnitude quake in the Richter's scale struck Japan's east coast on Friday. This secquencially caused a tsunami.

Consequently, Japan's nuclear plant's normal cooling system and the backup systems failed after the tsunami slammed into the plant almost a week ago. The Fukushima plant meltdown raises a flag to the Japanese government. The level of radiation is extremely high likely lethal in a short period of time.

Japanese government is exhausting all their efforts contain the leakage from Fukushima Dai-chi plant.

The Vanishing Act of Nature

Is this nature's retaliation against the humans? This is more likely.

Japan was struck bundles and bundles of waves last week and the world can not help but watch Japan being wiped out by a tsunami. It was triggered by an earthquake with a destructible intensity of 8.9 in the Richter scale Friday afternoon. Japanese Government reported that there are still 10,000 people missing in several areas in Japan, including Tokyo and Sendai City.
