More Fun With Nuclear Energy

(btw, there will be a quiz after this video and I want you to list the outright lies and false hoods  in this video, each correct answer gets 10 points! Good Luck!)
The Japanese have always had a kind of fantasy relationship with the idea of nuclear power. Thew trauma of being the only place on earth to have experienced the reality of nuclear war fare inspired a generation of Godzilla movies. The history of the Japanese Nuclear Power Energy Industry has been a sad list of accidents and duct tape coverups...Now the reality of the botched clean up at Fukushima is putting the entire planet at risk. Really, the clean up operation is being conducted by the Yakuza Mafia who are recruiting homeless and poverty stricken people as an expendable work force who they are not even paying....This is with out a doubt the most serious threat to our planet today and the corruption and the ineptness of the Japanese government and TEPCO from DAY 1 of the disaster is an ongoing crime against humantiy. Why is the USA involved in covering this up? Why is American participating in the Japanese Governments suppression of the reality of the American Sailors on The USS Reagan, who were exposed to the radioactive fallout from the Fukushima meltdown and are now beginning to suffer from the effects of radiation poisoning? 

The roll call of U.S. sailors who say their health was devastated when they were irradiated while delivering humanitarian help near the stricken Fukushima nuke is continuing to climb.
So many have come forward that the progress of their federal class action lawsuit has been delayed. A petition in their support is posted at www.nukefree.org.
Bay area lawyer Charles Bonner says a re-filing will wait until early February to accommodate a constant influx of sailors from the aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan and other American ships.
U.S. sailors irradiated while delivering humanitarian help near the stricken Fukushima nuke say their health has been devastated.
Within a day of Fukushima One's March 11, 2011, melt-down, American "first responders" were drenched in radioactive fallout. In the midst of a driving snow storm, sailors reported a cloud of warm air with a metallic taste that poured over the Reagan.
Then-Prime Minister Naoto Kan, at the time a nuclear supporter, says "the first meltdown occurred five hours after the earthquake." The lawsuit charges that Tokyo Electric Power knew large quantities of radiation were pouring into the air and water, but said nothing to the Navy or the public.
Had the Navy known, says Bonner, it could have moved its ships out of harm's way. But some sailors actually jumped into the ocean just offshore to pull victims to safety. Others worked 18-hour shifts in the open air through a four-day mission, re-fueling and repairing helicopters, loading them with vital supplies and much more. All were drinking and bathing in desalinated water that had been severely contaminated by radioactive fallout and runoff.
Then Reagan crew members were enveloped in a warm cloud. "Hey," joked sailor Lindsay Cooper at the time. "It's radioactive snow."
The metallic taste that came with it parallels the ones reported by the airmen who dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, and by Pennsylvania residents downwind from the 1979 meltdown at Three Mile Island. 

When it did leave the Fukushima area, the Reagan was so radioactive it was refused port entry in Japan, South Korea and Guam. It's currently docked in San Diego.
The Navy is not systematically monitoring the crew members' health problems. But Cooper now reports a damaged thyroid, disrupted menstrual cycle, wildly fluctuating body weight and more. "It's ruined me," she says.
Similar complaints have surfaced among so many sailors from the Reagan and other U.S. ships that Bonner says he's being contacted by new litigants "on a daily basis," with the number exceeding 70.
Many are in their twenties, complaining of a terrible host of radiation-related diseases. They are legally barred from suing the U.S. military. Tepco denies that any of their health problems could be related to radiation from Fukushima. The company also says the U.S. has no jurisdiction in the case.
The suit was initially dismissed on jurisdictional grounds by federal Judge Janis S. Sammartino in San Diego. Sammartino was due to hear the re-filing Jan. 6, but allowed the litigants another month to accommodate additional sailors.

I still have my pin from 1964!
I got this when I visited the Enrico
Fermi Nuclear Plant in Monroe, MI
just a few weeks before it melted down!
How Cool Is That?

Bonner says Tepco should be subject to U.S. law because "they are doing business in America ... Their second largest office outside of Tokyo is in Washington DC."
Like the lawsuit, the petitions ask that Tepco admit responsibility, and establish a fund for the first responders to be administered by the U.S. courts.
In 2013 more than 150,000 citizens petitioned the United Nations to take control of the Fukushima site to guarantee the use of the best possible financial, scientific and engineering resources in the attempted clean-up.
The melted cores from Units One, Two and Three are still unaccounted for. Progress in bringing down Unit Four's suspended fuel assemblies is murky at best. More than 11,000 "hot" rods are still scattered around a site where radiation levels remain high and some 300 tons of radioactive water still flow daily into the Pacific.
But with U.S. support, Japan has imposed a state secrets act severely restricting reliable news reporting from the Fukushima site.
So now we all live in the same kind of dark that enveloped the USS Reagan while its crew was immersed in their mission of mercy.
Petitions in the sailors' support are circulating at NukeFree.org, MoveOn.org,  Care2, Avaaz.org, and elsewhere.
