Why aren't we hearing more about this???

Ain't no easy answers.

Amen brother, amen to that!

There is and will be a lot of fallout (literally and figuratively) from Fukushima. It is worse than most people are aware of, but that is not the site to learn about it.

Agree with this assessment^^

It's a worldwide problem, but the Japanese are going to bear the brunt by far. We'll be hearing more about it as time goes by, one way or the other.

This appears to be the original article, with author credit. The site doesn't appear to be all that reputable of a news source, however, just because the site is cheap-looking and alarmist doesn't necessarily mean their information is wrong. We all know those reactors melted down; it's logical to believe that the resulting radioactivity is still a problem. Does Japan even plan on capping them? At what point does someone else step in, if they don't?

It is Russian based… but the letter from the Senator to the Ambassador isn’t fake, so it doesn’t necessarily mean that the news is either.

It could be located there because of SOPA/PIPA fears - as it was registered a little over a year ago.

This is horseshit of the worst kind, and requires that every scientist on the west coast with an operational understanding of radiation and the equipment to detect it be complicit in the coverup.

Like most conspiracy nuts it's not bad enough for this guy that a nuclear facility was severely compromised by an earthquake and tidal wave, it has to be the end of the world and a conspiracy to cover it up.

Not everything is on the internet. Frontline did a very good analysis, and there have been television news reports on how the farmers in the area have lost their livelihoods, how radiation is persisting in the soil, and on conditions in the exclusion zone which is, for all practical purposes, forever.

A google search on "caldicott" reveals many articles which suggest the good Dr. is in fact an anti-nuke activist. That doesn't totally discredit her opinions in my eyes, but certainly there is an angle/agenda here beyond just the public interest.

The fact is that there's not a lot people can change in a short period of time in response to nuclear (or other) disaster and there's only so much planning you can do ahead of time. Not saying that makes the current situation OK, but as a species we seem to take great comfort in knowing that many others are in the same boat we are with respect to any given problem!

This article might have slightly greater credibility:

Even that seems to have a serious slant. The thing to do is confirm that gov't agencies have upped the allowable radiation levels in food products and see how much that increase was over the old levels.

I'm just going to go and hug my loved ones tighter anyway.
