Does anyone in authority anywhere tell the truth about Fukushima?
There is instead an apparent global
conspiracy of authorities of all sorts to deny to the public
reliably accurate, comprehensible, independently verifiable
(where possible), and comprehensive information about not only
the condition of the Fukushima power plant itself and its
surrounding communities, but about the unceasing, uncontrolled
release of radioactive debris into the air and water, creating a
constantly increasing risk of growing harm to the global
community.
While the risk may still be miniscule in most
places, the range of risk rises to lethal in Fukushima itself.
With the radioactive waste of four nuclear reactors (three of
them in meltdown) under uncertain control for almost three years
now, the risk of lethal exposure is very real for plant workers,
and may decrease with distance from the plant, but may be
calculable for anyone on the planet. No one seems to know. No
one seems to have done the calculation. No one with access to
the necessary information (assuming it exists) seems to want to
do the calculation.
There is no moral excuse for this
international collusion. The excuses are political or economic
or social, but none of them excuses any authority for
withholding or lying about information that has potentially
universal and destructive impact on everyone alive today and
everyone to be born for some unknown generations. MORE
