NUCLEAR JAPAN


In Japan, plutonium is created as a by-product of the nuclear energy industry.

In 1995, Japan was reported to have 4.7 tons of plutonium, enough for around 700 nuclear warheads.

Japan has a uranium enrichment plant which could be used to make highly enriched uranium suitable for weapon use.

Japan has developed the M-V three-stage solid fuel rocket, similar in design to the U.S. LGM-118A Peacekeeper ICBM, which could serve as a delivery vehicle for nuclear weapons. (Japanese nuclear weapon program - Wikipedia)

Note the following:

(1) Secret Weapons Program Inside Fukushima Nuclear Plants?

(2) "Like Israel, Japan is a "secret" nuclear power."


Japan has raised the severity level of its Fukushima nuclear crisis to the maximum seven.

This is the same level as Chernobyl. (Japan raises nuclear crisis to same level as Chernobyl)

The 2009 report, "Chernobyl: Consequences of the Catastrophe for People and the Environment", published by the New York Academy of Sciences, estimates the number of deaths attributable to the Chernobyl meltdown at about 980,000. (Nuclear apologists mislead the world over radiation)

FT guide to radiation

To measure radiation, scientists use the unit known as the sievert (Sv) – divided into thousandths (millisieverts or mSv) and millionths (microsieverts or µSv).

The figures below show typical exposure levels and their effects:

2 mSv per year - typical background exposure from the environment (actual level depends on altitude, natural radioactivity of local rocks, etc)

2.4 mSv per year - average dose to US nuclear industry workers

9 mSv per year - exposure to airline crew flying regularly between New York and Tokyo

20 mSv per year - current limit (averaged) for nuclear industry employees and uranium miners

100 mSv per year - lowest level at which any increase in cancer risk is clearly evident

(The US National Academy of Sciences BEIR VII report has concluded, no dose of radiation is safe.)

1000 mSv (1 sievert) cumulative - estimated to cause a fatal cancer many years later in 5 out of every 100 people exposed to it

1,000 mSv (1 sievert) single dose - temporary radiation sickness - not fatal

5,000 mSv (5 sieverts) single dose - fatal within a month to half of those who receive it

10,000 mSv (10 sieverts) single dose - fatal within weeks

NUCLEAR STUFF IS DANGEROUS

Nuclear stuff is dangerous. (URANIUM IN THE UK, USA AND ELSEWHERE )

Contamination with nuclear material has been going on for years - URANIUM IN THE UK, USA AND ELSEWHERE

Some people think Chernobyl was the result of Sabotage

"Articles about the possibility that Chernobyl 'accident' was staged by foreign secret service agencies started to emerge in the Russian press (Sovietskaya Rossiya, June 16, 1992, April 25, 1996, Za Ruskoe Delo 6, 38, 1996, Trud, April 26, 1995) and elsewhere, recently reappearing on Pravda.ru (February, 2004) .

"These allegations were based on observations that, under scrutiny:

"It is unlikely that the sequence of events that led to the meltdown of the Chernobyl nuclear reactor could have been accidental"

"Technicians who disconnected the safety mechanisms of the Chernobyl Nuclear Plant,Alexandrov, Feinberg, Sagdeev, Zaslavsky,are now living in comfort abroad."

Iran says its nuclear programme was hit by sabotage

"Conspiracy theory: ... set off a global disaster that will upset/reset the world economy.

"Since the economy is essentially one big Ponzi scheme, blaming the scheme's collapse on a 'causeless' catastrophic event like this poses the only way to preempt the real reason: because we've run out of money to prop up the pyramid.

"The execution of such a disaster is highly feasible: setting off an explosion in a building is beyond simple. As for the earthquake, they could have waited for it, or used HAARP..." (DAE think that Japan's nuclear plants were blown up on purpose to ... )
