Antinuclear

Examining the claims of a nuclear physicist that Fukushima accident is really no problem!

Physicist Claims No Nuclear Disaster at Fukushima, The Daily Sheeple Melissa Melton  November 2nd, 2013 – According to Dr. Kelvin Kemm, nuclear physicist and CEO of Nuclear Africa, Fukushima is not a nuclear disaster and all the fear surrounding potential negative impact on the biosphere and everything living in it boils down to little more than media-driven hype. – ……

Recent reports coming out of TEPCO that 400 tons of contaminated water are emptying into the Pacific Ocean daily from the damaged Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant (see The Japan Times) are apparently nothing to be concerned about. In fact, Kemm says TEPCO should just dump more radioactive water into the ocean: – ……Kemm goes on to explain that the tritium isn’t harmful: –

Kemm did not mention anything about the other materials being discharged into the atmosphere and the water. Presenting at a September International Atomic Energy Agency meeting, Michio Aoyama, senior researcher at the geochemical research department of the Meteorological Research Institute at the Japan Meteorological Agency, some 60 billion becquerels of cesium-137 and strontium-90 are being discharged daily into the Pacific from the ditch at the north end of the reactors. Strontium-90 alone has a half-life of nearly 30 years.

Kemm also did not address fish levels in the Pacific now reported at historic lows or studies of fish tainted with Fukushima radiation finding their way across the Pacific Ocean to North America and what effect those fish could have on the people who have unknowingly eaten (and are still eating) them. Yachtsman Ivan MacFadyen, who recently sailed from Melbourne to Osaka to San Francisco, came back and straight-up said the ocean is broken.

A study released in the peer-reviewed International Journal of Health Services claims 14,000 Americans, mostly infants under the age of one, have already died due to Fukushima radiation. The International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War has estimated that over 136,000 cases of Fukushima-induced cancer and other serious illnesses will likely occur in the future (and this does not include precancerous tumors on children). Stories continue to come out that Fukushima children are being diagnosed with thyroid cancer at an alarming rate. Breaking protocol, a lawmaker recently handed a letter directly to the Japanese Emperor, warning him about the sick children and clean-up workers being diagnosed with cancer in and around Fukushima.

Apparently though, none of this is any cause for concern, as Dr. Kemm goes on to conclude:

The Fukushima incident will continue to attract media attention for some time to come, I imagine. It has become such a good story to roll with that it will not just go away. However, in sober reflection and retrospection one has to come to the conclusion that far from being a nuclear disaster the Fukushima incident was actually a wonderful illustration of the safety of nuclear power.

-Dr. Kemm’s assertions do not really stack up with what other experts are saying about Fukushima – ……….. http://www.thedailysheeple.com/physicist-on-fukushima-there-was-no-nuclear-disaster_112013#sthash.w7CqMhT4.dpuf
