– Potentially Radioactive Lumber to Be Promoted with “Eco-Point” Incentive? (EX-SKF, Sep. 16, 2011):
Seiji Maehara, who lost his bid to become the party leader and the prime minister of Japan, has nonetheless landed on a very powerful party position as the chairman of the DPJ’s policy bureau.
He went to Fukushima, and after visiting with the evacuees from Iitate-mura, he disclosed his party’s plan to use the “eco-point” system for residential housing to promote timber from the disaster-affected area.
Aggghhhhh.
What is the “eco-point” for houses? Well, if you build or renovate your house with energy saving features and alternative energy features (eg. solar panels) the government will give you “eco-points”. Then you can use the points at participating stores and buy whatever you want to buy with the points.
Maehara is saying the government may entice builders to use the lumber from the disaster-affected area with “eco-points”, even if the potentially radioactive lumber has nothing to do with energy saving.
Iitate-mura’s major industry is forestry. Iitate-mura’s mountains and forests have been contaminated with whatever fell on them – radioactive cesium, plutonium, strontium. No one has tested them (if someone did, he’s not saying anything), but the contamination should be an order of magnitude bigger than the radioactive firewood from Rikuzen Takata City in Iwate Prefecture.
If Mr. Maehara has his way, the contaminated trees are to be cut from the contaminated mountains and hauled out of the mountains, disturbing the contaminated soil and dead leaves, and made into lumber in a village with high air radiation level and sold all over Japan with “eco-points”, in order for the rest of the Japanese to help the villagers.
This is “socializing the cost” to the extreme.
From Sankei Shinbun (9/17/2011):
民 主党の前原誠司政調会長は17日午前、福島市を訪れ、東京電力福島第1原発事故で避難した福島県飯舘村の住民が暮らす仮設住宅を視察した。住民との対話で 前原氏は、原発事故に絡む不適切な発言で辞任した鉢呂吉雄前経済産業相について「皆さんの気持ちを踏みにじった。与党の一員として心からおわび申し上げた い」と謝罪した。
Seiji Maehara, chairman of the policy bureau of the Democratic Party of Japan, visited Fukushima City in the morning of September 17, and visited with the residents of Iitate-mura in their temporary houses. They evacuated to Fukushima City after the Fukushima I Nuclear Plant accident. In the dialog with the residents, Maehara apologized to them about Yoshio Hachiro, who resigned the post of Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry after his inappropriate remarks concerning the nuclear accident. Maehara said, “His words trampled down your feelings. As a member of the ruling party I would like to apologize from the bottom of my heart”.
視察は、東日本大震災の本格的な復興予算となる平成23年度第3次補正予算案に被災地の要望を盛り込むのが目的で、前原氏は住民から要望が相次いだ放射性物質の除染作業の迅速化に関して「3次補正で思い切った予算を計上したい」と応じた。
The purpose of his visit was to incorporate the demands from the disaster-affected area into the 3rd supplementary budget plan for the fiscal 2011, which will be the budget for the recovery in earnest from the March 11 earthquake/tsunami disaster. Maehara responded to the decontamination request from the residents, by saying “We want to appropriate a large sum for the effort”.
また、被災地の木材などを使って住宅を建設した場 合、「住宅エコポイント制度」を活用できるよう検討していることも明らかにした。前原氏は対話後、県庁で佐藤雄平知事と会談。佐藤氏は「政府の復興基本方 針がまだ形になっていない」と国の対応の遅れを指摘し、復興基金の創設を求めた。
He also disclosed that he [or his party] is discussing the possibility of utilizing “residential eco-point system” if residential houses are built with lumber from the disaster-affected area. After the dialog with the Iitate-mura residents, he met with Governor Yuhei Sato. Governor Sato pointed out the slow response by the national government, and urged the creation of the recovery fund.
前原氏は午後、宮城県へ移動し、村井嘉浩知事らと会談。がれき処理状況も視察する。
Mr. Maehara will go to Miyagi Prefecture in the afternoon to have a talk with Governor Yoshihiro Murai. He is also scheduled to survey the debris clearing operation.
To the right-leaning and the US-favoring (and nuke-favoring) Sankei, Maehara is a darling, WikiLeaks or not.
“Oh it’s just outside of the trees that is radioactive. In lumber, there will be no radiation, it’s safe” will be the mantra. “Don’t you want to help the victims of the accident?” will be another.
My answer: so what? and no. Not through buying their radioactive goods.
Iitate-mura’s so-called “decontamination” of farmland and houses is expected to cost 200 billion yen, or US$2.6 billion. Part of the “decon” bubble, as Iitate-mura’s “decontamination” is to be done by the national government and its researchers (as if they know anything about radiation decontamination on a massive scale), with the help of large general contractors.

… these are not “dosimeters” but “glass badges” that passively collect radiation information. It won’t help these children or their parents to avoid high-radiation areas and spots, it won’t tell them how much radiation they will have been exposed unless they are sent in to a company to interpret the data.
This is outrageous and it is called mind-control:

Radiation exposure is increased by a factor of a trillion. Inhaling even the tiniest particle, that’s the danger.
Yo: So making comparisons with X-rays and CT scans has no meaning. Because you can breathe in radioactive material.
Hirose: That’s right. When it enters your body, there’s no telling where it will go. The biggest danger is women, especially pregnant women, and little children. Now they’re talking about iodine and cesium, but that’s only part of it, they’re not using the proper detection instruments. What they call monitoring means only measuring the amount of radiation in the air. Their instruments don’t eat. What they measure has no connection with the amount of radioactive material.
Dr. Helen Caldicott (Co-founder of Physicians for Social Responsibility):
You’ve bought the propaganda from the nuclear industry. They say it’s low-level radiation. That’s absolute rubbish. If you inhale a millionth of a gram of plutonium, the surrounding cells receive a very, very high dose. Most die within that area, because it’s an alpha emitter. The cells on the periphery remain viable. They mutate, and the regulatory genes are damaged. Years later, that person develops cancer. Now, that’s true for radioactive iodine, that goes to the thyroid; cesium-137, that goes to the brain and muscles; strontium-90 goes to bone, causing bone cancer and leukemia. It’s imperative … that you understand internal emitters and radiation, and it’s not low level to the cells that are exposed. Radiobiology is imperative to understand these days.”
