ZeroHedge
bracht gisteren (donderdag 26 juli) een artikel waarin het nieuws dat
er radioactieve straling afkomstig uit de rampencentrales van
Fukushima is terug gevonden in Californische wijn......
Overheden
en media hebben willens en wetens verzwegen dat de enorme
radioactieve vervuiling door de Fukushima kernramp in 2011, een flink deel van de landen aan de Stille Oceaan heeft bereikt en nog zal bereiken, nog steeds stromen er bij
tijd en wijle grote hoeveelheden radioactief water in zee......
Voorts is er besmetting via de lucht (radioactieve stoom enz...) en
zal er via verdamping van radioactief zeewater ook weer radioactiviteit in de
atmosfeer terechtkomen....
De
autoriteiten in de VS bagatelliseerden al van meet af aan de gevolgen
van de kernramp in het Japanse Fukushima en eerdere gemeten radioactiviteit zou
(zoals gewoonlijk) geen gevaar vormen voor de volksgezondheid, een
leugen van formaat zoals je begrijpt..... Ach ja, de kernenergie maffia heeft een uitermate sterke lobby en dat bepaald niet alleen in de VS of Japan...... Zelfs de Wereldgezondheidsorganisatie (WHO) stelt dat de gevonden hoeveelheid radioactieve straling geen gevaar is voor de volksgezondheid....... ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! Ik moet zeggen dat het me nog meevalt geen pleidooi voor kernenergie te horen van de WHO........
Over Japan gesproken, daar is het helemaal bal, men is bezig om mensen weer in de
buurt van de rampencentrale van Fukushima te (her)huisvesten, een enorm
onverantwoordelijk beleid en dat alleen om aan te tonen, dat
radioactieve straling weinig kwaad kan..... Het kan zo weinig kwaad, dat relatief kort na de Fukushima ramp aan de westkust van Canada stralingszieke vis werd gevangen, letterlijk doodzieke vis.....
Op andere plekken in westelijk Canada werd na de ramp in Fukushima een toename van 300% in radioactieve straling gemeten...... Je raadt het al: geen gevaar voor de volksgezondheid..... ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! Deze metingen werden verzwegen door de reguliere, zogenaamd onafhankelijke media, niet vreemd als je bedenkt dat de regeringen van de VS en Canada liever geen onrust stokerij zien over deze (en andere) kernrampen...... Overigens geldt dit ook voor de andere reguliere westerse media (en ik neem aan voor het grootste deel van de wereldwijde massamedia.....)...
Controle op wat er gebeurt in die kerncentrale van Fukushima is er niet, mensen die kritisch zijn op kernenergie worden niet getolereerd in de buurt van de centrale, noch op land, noch op zee.....
Fukushima
Radiation Was Just Discovered in California Wine

(ZHE) Following
the 2011 disaster at the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan —
which left Japanese residents contending with toxic water
and radioactive
wild boars, World
Health Organization (WHO) officials said that particles of
radioactive fallout which made its way to the Western United States
and elsewhere was no biggie and didn’t pose a health risk.
California
wine lovers will get to test that theory, after researchers at the
French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) discovered
cesium-137 in several golden-state vintages. The
researchers tested 18 bottles of California rosé and cabernet
sauvignon from 2009 onward — finding increased levels of the
radioactive isotope in bottles produced after the Fukushima disaster.
The cabernets had double the radiation of the other wine, according
to the study.
“We
can measure some radioactive level that is much higher than the usual
level,” said Michael Pravikoff, a physicist at a French
research center who worked on the study.
“The
French research team has in recent years examined wines from around
the world, trying to correlate the level of radioactive material with
the date the wine grapes were picked.
“Wines
made around major nuclear events, including American and Soviet
nuclear tests during the Cold War and the Chernobyl accident, should
show higher levels of radioactive isotopes, called cesium-137,
according to the researchers. The man-made isotope cannot be
found in nature and would be present only at certain levels after the
nuclear events.” –NYT
While
ingesting cesium-137 elevates one’s risk of cancer, the
radioactive particles found in California wine “are not seen as a
health hazard” according to Pravikoff, who said: “These
levels are so low, way below the natural radioactivity that’s
everywhere in the world.”
“The
California Department of Public Health (CDPH) said Friday that it had not
previously heard of the study, but that there were no ‘health and
safety concerns to California residents.’
“’This
report does not change that,’ a department spokesman, Corey Egel,
said in an emailed statement.
“Mr.
Pravikoff said the California bottles had radioactive levels so low
that the researchers had to use a special technique to measure them:
burning the wine to ashes.
“In
other cases, where radiation is higher, the team’s equipment can
measure the radiation through the glass of the wine bottle, so the
bottle does not have to be opened.” –NYT
In
2016, AP reported
that “Radiation from Japan’s Fukushima nuclear disaster detected
on Oregon shores,” however officials claimed that the samples from
Tillamook Bay and Gold Beach were “at extremely low levels not
harmful to humans.”
That
said, as Whitney Webb of TrueActivist noted
at the time, Even if we can’t see the radiation itself, some
parts of North America’s western coast have been feeling the
effects for years. Not long after Fukushima, fish in
Canada began
bleeding from
their gills, mouths, and eyeballs. This “disease” has been
ignored by the government and has decimated native fish populations,
including the North Pacific herring. Elsewhere in Western Canada,
independent scientists have measured a 300%
increase in
the level of radiation. According to them, the amount of radiation in
the Pacific Ocean is increasing every year. Why is this being ignored
by the mainstream media? It might have something to do with the
fact that the US and Canadian governments have banned
their citizens from talking
about Fukushima so
“people don’t panic.”
Also
in 2016, Japanese officials admitted there was a cover-up,
and there was a concerted effort to downplay the significance of the
reactor meltdowns.
Multiple
reactors at Japan’s Fukushima nuclear power plant melted down after
50-foot a tsunami wave crashed through barriers and knocked out the
reactors’ backup generators. The disaster spewed radioactive
fallout into the air and water – sickening the crew of the
nearby USS
Ronald Reagan as
they provided support.
And
while the sailors were undoubtedly exposed to concentrated doses of
radioactive isotopes that are nowhere near the levels which have been
found along the West Coast – and now in California wine, it is
premature – and perhaps highly irresponsible, for officials to
claim that such small doses will have no effect, as radiation
exposure is cumulative and the Fukushima disaster was an
unprecedented event due to its massive release of
radioactivity into the Pacific Ocean.
