I was recently notified by another friend of the fact that a newspaper article in Berlin, their paper called "Der Spiegel" printed an article about those people who were on the USS Ronald Reagan, when it was sent to Fukushima to help, began to be ill with various cancers. Male and female, enlisted and officers, are now coming down with Thyroid cancer, testicular and ovarian cancer, Leukemia, and cancers of all other kinds.
The Reagan, and her accompanying ships that make up her battle group, were at one time 50 miles offshore, later, they pulled back to 100 miles.
They cannot sue the Navy, so now they are trying to sue TEPCO (Tokyo Electric Power Company), and of course, that will take an enormous amount of time. Some of the people have already died. It is hoped that compensation will at least, pay money to their survivors. I have personally notified two Las Vegas TV news programs, and two newspapers. I gave them references so they could research the situation themselves. Nothing.
So, here are the references: Google "Fukushima Updates," then add the current date. Also, read the archives dating back to the date of the disaster, 3/11/11. There are several postings with the approximate same title.
Here are other resources. Do your own research:
"Beyond Nuclear:" linda@beyondnuclear.org. Ask to be placed on the mailing list, it is free.
Nevada Nuclear Waste Taskforce: Judy Treichel, judynwtf@@aol.com. She is the executive director for Nevadans working to stop Yucca Mountain. It would be insane to put waste there. Under the site, there is an earthquake fault, and under that, there is a water table. And there are signs of ancient volcanism. No volcano can ever truly said to be 'dormant.' Vesuvius last erupted in 1948!
Ace Hoffman: rhoffman@animatedsoftware.com. He was quite active at getting the nuclear station nearest him, shut down. He also earns his living by doing animated software for medical school and universities. Ask him for a link to his nuclear animated software. Especially, watch "Poison Fire." Ace can also be found on YouTube.
NIRSNET: nirsnet@nirs.org.
Fairewinds: contact@fairewinds.org. Read Arnie Gundersen's articles, and see his videos on YouTube; He has also traveled to Fukushima, twice. He is a nuclear engineer, with a Phd in nuclear engineering. He has been quoted as saying "This is the worst man-caused disaster in human history!" He thinks there is no chance of remediation of the disaster before 40 to 100 years, using technology not yet invented. And TEPCO wants to dump several millions tons more irradiated water into the Pacific, on the thought that it would 'dilute' the radiation.

Also, Tokyo is forcing Japanese farmers to grow produce on poisoned land, and sell it in the markets in Tokyo. I have seen a video of a Japanese farmer begging not to be forced to grow such produce. Farmers will not eat it themselves. Further, and even more cynical, Tokyo is scheduled to host the Summer Olympics in 2020. And they are PLANNING on feeding that to the athletes!
I notified the IOC, nothing. I notified the US OC, and did talk to a woman there who was willing to listen. She did tell me that American Olympic Athletes carry food to eat when they are competing in foreign lands. I understand why Tokyo wants to continue: If you Google "Tokyo Summer Olympic Games, 2020," you will see that they have already prepared magnificent venues for the Games. But I personally think the Games should be sent back to any former Olympic city that still has intact Olympic venues. Los Angeles, London? There is still background radiation in Tokyo! Yet, having spent so much money, I can understand why they would like to proceed. So, if we can get them informed, at least the athletes can make a choice whether to attend, or not.
Tokyo is now also threatening to send all the people who were dispersed after the Fukushima accident, back to their homes. They plan to cut the allowances that made it possible for evacuees to stay away from Fukushima.
Even worse, in a perfect demonstration of how radiation can harm DNA, there is a group of the monkeys called Macaques, who often in winter, go into hot springs. One such group lives near Fukushima. To keep the monkeys from overbreeding an area, they are often 'culled.' Scientists are finding that fetal and baby macaques are being born with smaller brains, and smaller heads!
The whole topic just gives me the willies. I have 13 living descendants, and I want a green and safe world for them.
