Not to forget this farmer either, whom I mentioned a while ago on another thread that was locked where the now ubiquitous "radiation has not killed anyone" line was used. A 64 year-old cabbage grower hanged himself on Mar. 24 morning in his own premises, Sukagawa, Fukushima prefecture. Due to...

Not to forget all the cases of suicide. Here is the latest, particularly poignant one. "MINAMISOMA, Fukushima -- A 93-year-old woman, dejected over the ongoing nuclear crisis, was found hanged at her home in Minamisoma, Fukushima Prefecture, in late June, leaving behind suicide notes that said...

Yes, thanks from me too. Looks like an excellent read.

Contaminated beef from Fukushima was served to schoolchildren at lunches in Yokohama from April 23 to June 7. Why? Because no one was buying Fukushima beef and the price of it had dropped 40 to 50%. The major and Board of Education approved of it. It was an excellent opportunity to save some...

You seem to have nailed it. It was certainly perplexing trying to think of what animal was used for the studies that was actually seen to smile or worry, and how this could be "clearly demonstrated". I didn't realize the good Doctor meant the Japanese people. Still, there must be important...

I would have used quite another adjective but superfluous it definitely is. "...radiation doesn't affect people who are smiling, but those who are worried. This has clearly been demonstrated by animal studies." Anyone know what kind of animals he is talking about in those studies? Also...

They do have people giving info about health safety in lieu of radioactive particles. Haven't you heard(well, read) of Dr.Shunichi Yamagarbagea a.k.a. Dr. "100 mSv/h radiation is safe".:mad: He's just been promoted to vice president of the Fukushima Medical University in charge of setting up...

hai, Lt. Pravik on May 9th. Does he count? 13 days.

Yes, that is it exactly. And in addition, it makes one feel like a naive fool for assuming.

Okay. I see what you meant now.

NUCENG, would you clarify further what you mean by Japan being "so far behind on risk analysis"? Because I don't get it. Risk analysis for Japan is not something one can be "far behind on". History records quakes and tsunami. For Fuku, it would, at this stage, appear to have been a clear...

Obviously *I* don't know what would happen. How could I? The whole point being if we can trust what has been studied "in depth" by these others. And this "in depth" study of theirs, is it like the "in depth" study of earthquake and tsunami risk assessment done at Fukushima? Meh.

I'm mentioning the jet fuel again -- an airliner has a larger capacity for fuel. No one really knows what would happen if a large airline passenger plane hit a reactor building. In the U.S. the NRC and IAEA have said that U.S. reactors were not designed to withstand the impact of a large...

You're right. Why would any terrorist even have to lift a finger when there is a company like TEPCO running things.

Most people living in the radiation exclusion zone/s had houses that were habitable, pets that were perky, livestock that was living, crops that were productive...etc. Before Shimizu(TEPCO CEO) resigned, he and some of his cronies visited the radiation exclusion zone homeless shelters where...
