The Fukushima Disaster Is Much Worse Than We Are Being Told By The MSM

03-19-2011 • LewRockwell.com

#26 One anonymous senior nuclear industry executive told The Times Of India that Japanese power industry managers are "basically in a full-scale panic" and that "they don't know what to do". #27 It is also being reported that there were over 600,000 spent fuel rods stored at the Fukushima Dai-ichi complex. Most of these rods were apparently stored near the top of the 6 reactor buildings. There have already been major explosions at three of those buildings. It is now feared that there is now nothing to prevent many of these spent fuel rods from releasing radiation into the atmosphere. That is really, really bad news. So is there a threat that nuclear radiation from Japan could reach the United States? Well, actually everyone agrees that radiation could reach the United States. The controversy is whether or not it will be enough to be harmful to human health. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is admitting that it is "quite possible" that nuclear fallout from this disaster could reach the United States. In fact, Nuclear Regulatory Commission spokesman David McIntyre says that there could already be radiation from Japan over America.... Right now it's quite possible that there could be some radiation floating over the United States. But most government officials in the U.S. are insisting that there is "no threat" to the health of American citizens from this crisis at this point. So how would nuclear radiation from Japan get transported to the United States? Well, if radiation released by a damaged nuclear reactor got up into the jet stream, the first major land mass that it would encounter would be North America. In fact, the jet stream commonly takes air from over Japan directly over the west coast of the United States.
