Diplomat Akio Matsumura is warning that the disaster
at the Fukushima nuclear plant in Japan may ultimately turn into an event
capable of extinguishing all life on Earth.
Matsumura posted a startling entry
on his blog following a statement made by Japan’s former ambassador to
Switzerland, Mitsuhei Murata, on the situation at Fukushima.
Speaking at a public hearing of the
Budgetary Committee of the House of Councilors on March 22, 2012, Murata warned
that
“if the crippled building of reactor
unit 4 ~ with 1,535 fuel rods in the spent fuel pool 100 feet (30 meters) above
the ground ~ collapses, not only will it cause a shutdown of all six reactors
but will also affect the common spent fuel pool containing 6,375 fuel rods,
located some 50 meters from reactor 4,” writes Matsumura.
In both cases the radioactive rods are not protected by a containment vessel; dangerously, they are open to the air. This would certainly cause a global catastrophe like we have never before experienced.He stressed that the responsibility of Japan to the rest of the world is immeasurable.
Such a catastrophe would affect us
all for centuries. Ambassador Murata informed us that the total numbers of the
spent fuel rods at the Fukushima Daiichi site excluding the rods in the
pressure vessel is 11,421.
Matsumura then asked Robert Alvarez,
former Senior Policy Adviser to the Secretary and Deputy Assistant Secretary
for National Security and the Environment at the U.S. Department of Energy,
about the the impact of such an additional catastrophe at Fukushima.
Akio Matsumura.
Containing radiation at the crippled
facility will be no small feat, Alvarez explained. “Spent reactor fuel cannot
be simply lifted into the air by a crane as if it were routine cargo. In
order to prevent severe radiation exposures, fires and possible explosions, it
must be transferred at all times in water and heavily shielded structures into
dry casks,” Alvarez told Matsumura.
He then said the 11,138 spent fuel
assemblies stored at the Fukushima plant contain “134 million curies is
Cesium-137 ~ roughly 85 times the amount of Cs-137 released at
the Chernobyl accident as estimated by the U.S. National
Council on Radiation Protection.”
“It is important for the public to
understand that reactors that have been operating for decades, such as those at
the Fukushima-Dai-Ichi site have generated some of the largest concentrations
of radioactivity on the planet,” he concluded.
Matsumura admits this is an
astounding number and one difficult to comprehend. He wrote that 85 times more
Cesium-137 than released at Chernobyl “would destroy the world environment and
our civilization. This is not rocket science, nor does it connect to the pugilistic
debate over nuclear power plants. This is an issue of human survival.”
Akio Matsumura sent a letter United
Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. He wrote:
“It is no exaggeration to say that the fate of Japan and the whole world depends on NO.4 reactor. This is confirmed by most reliable experts like Dr. Arnie Gundersen or Dr. Fumiaki Koide,”
“The world has been made so fragile and vulnerable. The role of the United Nations is increasingly vital. I wish you the best of luck in your noble mission.”
No word yet if this situation even
registers on the United Nations’ radar screen.

The United Nations has done nothing in terms of making the world safer. We can all see the results of the UN in Iraq, Afghanistan, Lybia and now Syria. The UN is an extension of the imperialist zionist neo-Stalinists.
ReplyDeleteWhat the world needs is for all nuclear reactors to be shut down. In hte 1990's Germany had perfected a ceramic coated fuel which could NOT melt down. Why is this technology not being used today? Expense? Oh, I guess 2 billion are not valued as much as "profit".
The UN is irrelevent! The possibility also exists that the STUXNET virus, created by Israel and the US played a big roll in the Fukushima meltdown. The STUXNET virus was found the the Fukushima computer system on OCTOBER prior to the earthquake. It is quite possible the US and ISRAEL are responsible for Fukushima. That would explain the Jewish media's blackout on reporting about this cataclysm.

Scary!

Matsumura lays it out plainly (and about time).
ReplyDeleteWhen this first happened, quite a few bloggers told me I was exaggerating... that this wasn't as bad as the MSM was letting on.
Scott Creighton was one of those ignorant dicks.
I have said all along that this fiasco would be something that affects millions of people. Not that it would kill us overnight, but over time cancer rates will skyrocket. I explained way back then about the fuel rod pools and that there would be a steady stream of matter entering the atmosphere.
Saying I told you so doesn't help, but to the ignorant assholes who poo-pooed the insistence by me that TPTB discuss it and tell us the truth and explained that what little was being told by the MSM wasn't enough, ya'll can kiss my ass.
