Radiation Poisoning Being Kept Under Wraps In Japan05/16/2011http://lucaswhitefieldhixson.com/radiation-poisoning-being-kept-under-wraps-japanI must admit while researching the developments at Fukushima, I am often baffled by the lack of news on the effects of the radiation being released from the 4 compromised reactors. With levels as high as 2,000 mSv outside of Reactor 1, workers would only be able to work in these areas for 30-60 minutes before receiving the max dose of radiation allowed. One of the reasons that we may not be hearing about all of the cases of radiation poisoning, is that the Japanese Government is sending people exposed to high level radiation to select hospitals across the country.
The workers at Fukushima Daiichi have only seen Medical Officers one time since the end of April. The doctor who inspected the workers at the plant in April was quoted stating that the workers were at a risk of depression or death from overwork. There are over 800 workers at Fukushima Daiichi, hundreds of which sleep on-site in a building adjacent to the reactors.
Reported Radiation Exposures / Illnesses / Fatalities15 people admitted to hospital with symptoms of radiation poisoning on March 13th 2011
2 workers found dead in reactor basement- March
3 workers replacing cable in Reactor 3 worked in waters containing radioactive iodine, caesium, and cobalt at 10,000 times the normal levels - March
17 total workers reported exposed to over 100 mSv of radiation - March
Japanese tourists from Tokyo traveling to China found to have levels of radiation that "seriously exceeded standards". the pair lived in an area 125-200 miles from the plant. - March
Pets and Animals in Eugene Oregon thought to have radiation poisoning from sniffing debris on ocean shoreline washing up from Japan. - March
THE ONLY DOCTOR TO EXAMINE THE WORKERS FROM MARCH - MAY STATED THAT THE WORKERS ARE AT RISK OF DEPRESSION OR DEATH FROM OVERWORK.
2 workers found with INTERNAL and EXTERNAL radiation exposure over 200 mSv - May
Radiation found on Japanese Cars shipped to Chile - May
Love Always
