News from April 13th 2011: Fukushima is now INES 7 – like Chernobyl. The IAEA doesn’t want that. Read here why.
The IAEA organizes propaganda conferences each year. Only those who are recommended by their country’s atomic authority are permitted to participate. Nuclear issues which are subject to criticism are excluded.
The World Health Organization (WHO) also organizes annual conferences. However, WHO is gagged by the IAEA (per Agreement WHA 12-40 of 1959) and is prohibited from independently issuing statements regarding the health effects of atomic accidents.
This means the IAEA’s engineers and physicists are given the legal right to make statements about the health impacts of atomic accidents at the same time medical doctors from the World Health Organization are legally prohibited from doing so. The IAEA’s physicists issue official statements about the biological effects of exposure to radiation or radioactive contamination; they are permitted to assess the impact of accidental exposure or releases of radioactive contamination on human health.
The IAEA has a history of denying that the following health impacts occurred as a result of exposure to radiation and radioactive contaminants: damage to the immune system, stillbirths, thyroid cancer in children, brain damage, mental retardation, trisomy 21, diabetes, fetal abnormalities, disabled children, and all kinds of cancer, illness.
Many of these illnesses occur months, years or decades after initial or continued exposure and therefore, the IAEA and WHO artificially reduce the casualty count by including only those injuries received in the first minutes, hours, days following a nuclear accident.
The proposal to bring TEPCO before the International Criminal Court (ICC) was made by German politician, Stefan Wenzel on April 9th, 2011, during the IPPNW congress in Berlin. Watch his impressive speech here (beginning at 4:08 Min.):
He also brought the following proposal to dissolve the secret relationship between the IAEA and WHO before the “Bundestag”, a federal legislative body in Germany.
The UN General Assembly adopted the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court on July 17, 1998. On July 1, 2002 the statute came into force. “The International Criminal Court is a permanent tribunal to prosecute individuals for genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes.” (Wikipedia, 03/25/2011) Thus far, the ICC has not accepted criminal or civil cases involving the destruction of natural resources and environmental terrorism. The establishment of its authority to do so is long overdue.
In relation to the ongoing accident at Fukushima, responsible officials from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the World Health Organization (WHO), the operating company (TEPCO) and Japanese nuclear power regulators should be brought before the International Criminal Court and held accountable for their actions.
Failure to aid in tens of thousands of cases and threats to natural resources hundreds of thousands if not millions of people is a Felony.
The behavior of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the World Health Organization (WHO) following the reactor accident of Fukushima is a scandal. WHO has made public statements trivializing the emergency and ceding all of its responsibilities to the IAEA, citing the treaty of 1957. “What is WHO’s role in nuclear emergencies? Answer by WHO: “Within the United Nations system, the IAEA is the lead agency for coordination of international response to radiation events.” (World Health Organization, Japan Nuclear Concerns, FAQ, 14 March 2011, Geneva)
The IAEA – an organization whose Board of Governors is dominated by and comprised almost entirely of nuclear industry members, holds fast to its opinion that Fukushima should be assessed at Level 5 on the International Rating scale for significant events in nuclear facilities (INES).
The quantity of radioactive Iodine-131 released is a central indicator for the evaluation of nuclear accidents on the INES scale. The release of more than “a few 10 ^ 16 Bq of iodine 131” is classified as a level 7 catastrophic accident this (INES) scale.
Apparently, the IAEA, TEPCO and the Japanese government officials in charge have not clearly stated how much radioactive material has been released throughout the unfolding of the Fukushima disaster. According to estimates by the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO), comprised of 60 monitoring stations world-wide under the auspices of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, the first three days of the Fukushima accident alone released about 3.8 x 10 ^ 17 Bq of radioactive Iodine-131. That is about 100 times the official inventory. The Fukushima disaster has also released significant amounts of several other radionuclides which have not even been measured.
Due to these figures, the Fukushima accident would have been legitimately classified as INES level 7 a long time ago. Greenpeace is now in the process of conducting its own analysis.
The behavior of WHO and the IAEA is therefore an unprecedented scandal. An inappropriately small evacuation zone is estimated to have resulted in the needless exposure of pregnant women, children, and other adults to excessive levels of radiation and radioactive contamination beyond 250mSv, the limit set for the recognition of work related cancer among Japanese nuclear power plant employees. Radiation biology assumes that if 10,000 people were exposed to a dose of 1 Sv, then 500 deaths are expected to occur as a result of their exposure (ICRP60) 500-1200 (BEIRV) 580-1740 (RERF), 2400 (Köhler). The ICRP – another profiteer of the atomic industry – made the recommendations for radiation protection standards, which were accepted by all countries and which were used o justify IAEA regulations. Interesting isn’t it?
Here is one:
ICRP set the original safety standard for tritium emission (from atomic power plants) in water at 40,000 Bq/litre.
In 1990 the ICRP said: Let’s lower the safety standard for tritium to 7000 Bq/ litre.
The new 7000 Bq/litre limit was approved by ACES (Committee for Environmental Standards, Canada). They agreed to change the safety limit to 7000 Bq/litre because of the cancer risk.
The ICRP later said: Let’s lower the safety standard to 100 Bq/litre every five years until we get down to 20 Bq /litre.
I think there is a big difference between ‘safety’ limits of 40,000 Bq/litre and 20 Bq/litre!
Said another way, if 40,000Bq/litre was safe, why would they ever lower the limit to 20 Bq/litre?

Kind of sad to see so many entities misleading the public by reporting measured nuclear fallout readings in Tokyo like they are talking about the rising and falling temperatures in a weather report. Worse is when some agency or idiot tries to compare the current measured readings in Japan to ‘’natural radiation’’ or to the radiation a passenger is exposed to and receives on a transatlantic flight. The comparisons are not the same. The facts that should be reported are that we are inhaling and consuming contaminated man-made particles along with a whole list of other radioactive particle contaminates that have yet to be identified due to many of them requiring separate methods of testing in order to be identified and measured in a lab. These contaminates remain in the body for years. The Nuclear disaster in Japan is nothing like sitting in front of your computer, exposing yourself to the sun, or absorbing natural radiation emitted by the environment around us.
Take Cesium 137, one of the radioactive contaminates found in the breast milk of nursing mothers in Chiba. Keep in mind that the women’s organization that did the independent testing confirmed that the nursing mothers were in fact consuming bottled water, not tap water as the Japanese authorities reported. Speaking of water, back in May, up in Yamanashi (Mountain Pear) prefecture, where the reservoir that holds the water supply to Tokyo and Yokohama is located and fed by multiple tributaries and streams, up to 800 Becquerel of cesium contamination was found on small samples of the tea leaves tested, (unsafe by all standards for adults and children)…then, it rained hard…So, where does all that cesium particle contamination mixing with rain go? Downhill perhaps? Except, that particular reservoir is only getting two litters of sampling for radioactive contamination a day that is trucked all the way down to a Yokosuka lab for analysis. Wow, Cesium is a particle contamination…. Two litters out of billions of consumed gallons!!!!
So, considering we are dealing with particle contamination, do the measurements around Tokyo go up and down due to them blowing around? Are we inhaling and eating them, absorbing some of them into your eyes? Or, are they magically disappearing and coming back again like the rise and fall of the temperature throughout the day as the media potrays them to be?
One thing is for certain:
Tsukiji Fish Market Tokyo (you know, the one that tourist gather and watch them bid on the fish), April 10, 2011…soil sample collected….1161 Becquerel per kilogram per soil sampled….
Katori-Jinja (Tokyo)…April 27, 2011….7110 Becquerel/kg per soil sample
Chiba Monorail Tendai Station…April 11, 2011…4980 Becquerel/Kg per soil sample.
Senritsu-Idai (Medical Collage)…although Fukushima is a scary name, it is located outside the mandatory evacuation zone…children playing in the dust and going to school…..March 19, 2011….27,600 Becquerel/kg per soil sample.
Remember, cesium is man-made, has 30.17 years half-life…turns gamma in decomposition….and blows in the wind…
Today, in Tokyo (June 15), after public pressure, they discovered more ”Hot Spots.”
So Mote it Be

How do I support the push to take TEPCO to court? I live in Tokyo, and I am sure that I have inhaled my fair share of radioactive particles. I want to push this. TEPCO is getting away with murder; meanwhile the ex-CEO has retired with a comfortable 600,000,000Yen retirement package (which he refused to give back to the government/people who need relief money.)
