– Revered California Physician: The problem we face at Fukushima is absolutely huge — I may leave West Coast during attempt to remove nuclear fuel (Video) (Enenews, Nov 24, 2013):
The Santa Barbara Independent, Nov. 7, 2013: Doctor Talks Dangers of Fukushima Fallout; Stephen Hosea Expounds on the Problems with Nuclear Power […] The Santa Barbara physician discussed the dangers of nuclear power plants at a lunchtime conference packed with health-care professionals at Cottage Hospital […]
Dr. Hosea’s background is discussed in this Santa Barbara News-Press article: “He is just a phenomenal doctor, as well as just a wonderful guy,” said Dr. Elliot Schulman, health officer and Santa Barbara County Public Health director. “Everyone concurs,” said Peter MacDougall, past president of the Cottage Hospital board of directors. “Not only does he have tremendously strong technical competencies, but his personal modalities with patients, his caring, the deep sensitivity he shows represent just a terrific model for new doctors.” “He’s as close to a model physician as you could ask for,” Mr. MacDougall said. “We are, frankly, blessed to have a man of his talents.” […] Government officials consider him a go-to guy, regularly seeking his advice […]

Should an event occur [during attempt to remove fuel from Unit 4], all of the radioactivity is going to go straight up into the air. We saw where it went the last time that that occurred. This is happening in the next two weeks. This is a possibility that could happen to each and every one of us. And I can tell you, it wasn’t until I started looking into this that I realized this was a possibility to happen. I certainly haven’t taken any preparations for this. I’m not exactly sure what the preparations are, but I think we ought to know so we can at least take whatever preparations we want to take. I may have to make a visit back to Boston during this period of time to protect myself from this.

In summary, radioactive water continues to leak into the Pacific Ocean. Radioactive materials at Fukushima are in an unstable, potentially explosive situation. The potential effect on the water we drink, the air we breathe, and the food we eat are at best speculative. Immediate information and action are necessary as soon as possible. […] The problem we face at Fukushima is absolutely huge.
The sorry news is the fact no technology exists to deal with Fukushima…..the idiots built it anyway fully aware of the dangers they put the world population into. TEPCO, GE, and the other greedy corporations who kept building them anyway ought to be tried for crimes against humanity in the World Court. The executives ought to be dealt with as China would; execution.
The writer speaks of going to Boston to protect himself….it won’t work. Plutonium was found in Boston within two months of the disaster. People who think they can run from this are nuts.
The biggest problem after survival will be sustenance of safe food and water. The food chain has been torn asunder thanks to these bastards. This is why dead sea birds are on our coast line, why we have no sardines, why we have starfish turned into goo, breaking into gooey pieces and going back into the Pacific. Salmon are yellow.
The list is endless.
Thanks to this site, the word has gotten out. Enenews.com, and a few others are now on the bandwagon as the reality becomes too apparent for the establishment to bury. Unfortunately, they are 33 months into the disaster, and the likelihood of more problems from removing the used rods is 90%.
Worse, they are using uneducated, unemployed low wage workers. I have read they are using people who are “intellectually challenged” for the dirtiest and most dangerous of the process.
They have received NO TRAINING, regardless of TEPCO propaganda. I have found articles on fukushimadiary.com, that cover the actual events in Fukushima, including the voices of the people in the front line. Save money, use the people who are desperate instead of engineers and nuclear experts.
This disaster, and the response after ought to show everyone why corporations cannot run countries.
