Fukushima Nuclear Workers Not Protected From Radiation, 'Allowed' 250 - 1,000 mSv/yr Radiation Dose, Compared To 20 mSv/yr For US Nuclear Industry Workers, Results In Higher Leukemia Rates, Japan Civilians Allowed 20 mSv/yr - Only 50 Percent Of Money Actually Reaches Workers, Mafia Gets Rest

Fukushima Nuclear Workers Not Protected From Radiation, 'Allowed' 250 - 1,000 mSv/yr Radiation Dose, Compared To 20 mSv/yr For US Nuclear Industry Workers, Results In Higher Leukemia Rates, Japan Civilians Allowed 20 mSv/yr - Only 50 Percent Of Money Actually Reaches Workers, Mafia Gets Rest

What are Fukushima nuclear workers and civilians in Japan REALLY exposed to as far as radiation? This article explores, details and documents the various methods used to cover up, deny, minimize and conceal the real radiation exposure of workers at Fukushima.

LEGAL FOR FUKUSHIMA WORKERS TO BE EXPOSED UP TO 250 TO 1,000 mSV/yr

Due to problems with workers reaching their limits of annual radiation exposure very quickly, and issues with getting new workers to replace the old, the solution was found. Raise the limits by 500 times.

Telegraph: Tepco raised “safe” radiation exposure limits at Fukushima plant to over 500 times original level — From 180cpm to 100,000cpm — Often reported as 2.5-fold increase
http://enenews.com/telegraph-tepco-implemented-500-fold-increase-in-safe-radiation-exposure-levels-at-fukushima-plant-from-180cpm-to-100000cpm


Japanese nuclear workers can be exposed to an exterior dose of 250 mSv per year, (click on link to go to source) which is Orders of Magnitude higher than the maximum 20 mSv/yr allowed for nuclear workers in the USA.

2015 - JP Gov to raise the dose limit from 100mSv to 250mSv of nuclear workers in case of emergency
http://fukushima-diary.com/2015/08/jp-gov-to-raise-the-dose-limit-from-100msv-to-250msv-of-nuclear-workers-in-case-of-emergency/
50 mSv/yr is the absolute maximum dose recommended by nuclear authorities, so Japanese nuclear workers at Fukushima are exposed to FIVE times more than this  nuclear industry 'absolute' limit. Then you have to add the interior dose and neutron radiation, which is not even measured or calculated.

NHK 'Emergency radiation exposure limit may be raised'
When the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant was hit by meltdowns in 2011, many workers were exposed to radiation above the legal limit. As an extraordinary measure, the government had to raise the limit to 250 millisieverts, for 9 months, 3 days after the onset of the accident.

Safecast Radiation Readings From Inside Fukushima Daichi Plant Finally Revealed In Dec. 2013 - 192 uSv/Hr; via @AGreenRoad

If the Japanese government and TEPCO can subject their own workers to inhumane radiation contaminated conditions like that, it is just another very small step to civilians also being exposed to the same or even a higher radiation dose. If radiation workers can absorb 250 mSv/yr, surely a civilian child can handle 200, right? (This is sarcasm, to be very clear.)

Another source for this same information comes from CBS News; "The Ministry of Health Labor and Welfare raised the maximum allowable exposure for nuclear workers to 250 millisieverts from 100 millisieverts. It described the move as "unavoidable due to the circumstances."
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/japan-hikes-nuke-workers-legal-radiation-dose/

CataclysmicMay 21, 2015 Japan's nuclear regulator is to increase the radiation exposure limit for workers in emergency situations from the current 100 millisieverts (mSv) to 250 mSv. The limit was temporarily raised following the March 2011 accident at the Fukushima Daiichi plant.…Six workers at Fukushima Daiichi received total doses of over 250 mSv during their time tackling the emergency, while 170 received doses over 100 mSv.

The NRA has now considered the experience at Fukushima Daiichi, as well as overseas standards and scientific studies, and has concluded that permanently raising the limit in emergency situations to 250 mSv is appropriate. The International Atomic Energy Agency sets 100 mSv as the allowable short-term dose for emergency workers taking vital remedial actions, and 500 mSv as allowable short-term dose for emergency workers taking life-saving actions. However, the International Commission on Radiation Protection recommends reference levels of 500 to 1000 mSv "to avoid the occurrence of severe deterministic injuries" for rescue workers involved in an emergency exposure situation."
http://www.world-nuclear-news.org/RS-Japan-to-raise-worker-emergency-radiation-exposure-limits-2101154.html

FUKUSHIMA WORKERS SPEAK OUT ABOUT TEPCO GENERAL ELECTRIC SCANDAL

Al Jazeera also reported on the 250 mSv limit, but their video was scrubbed from the web..

Other organizations such as TEPCO may have a different radiation limit that is much lower. Why are the news casters mainly talking about much lower radiation limits, when the Ministry of Health has authorized and legalized such a super high radiation limit?

It is rather odd that just about all of the more recent news out of Japan never mentions this radiation limit. Official statements and reports from TEPCO minimize the radiation exposure of workers, but at the same time, we hear stories about radiation badges being covered with lead, and worker conditions getting worse and worse, with all kinds of radiation exposure accidents.


ILLEGAL FAKE SUBCONTRACTING A COMMON PRACTICE, PREVENTS LAWSUITS AGAINST TEPCO AND HELPS HIDE AND COVER UP RADIATION DAMAGE TO WORKERS 

5 years after disaster, reactor decommissioning faces troubling shortage of workers
March 7, 2016 (Mainichi Japan) "Because qualified individuals are not available, however, the firm contracts with another company -- resulting in a situation whereby its labor insufficiency is filled by hiring the other firm's employees as its own. This practice, which is known as fake subcontracting, runs the risk of infringing the Worker Dispatch Law and other regulations.

"We are aware that this is illegal," the company president notes, "but everyone still does it."

According to a worker survey conducted by the Tokyo Electric Power Co. (TEPCO), which operates the Fukushima No. 1 Nuclear Power Plant, some 20 percent of all workers at the plant had been hired via fake subcontracting. And while TEPCO asks its business affiliates to comply with the law, it does not appear that this is a situation that is set to improve.

There are over 400 companies involved in hiring workers at Fukushima, and over 8 layers in depth. Only 50 percent of the money allocated by the Japanese government and taxpayers is actually going to workers. The rest is 'siphoned off', by 'fees'.

JAPANESE CIVILIANS ARE NOW ALLOWED THE SAME AMOUNT OF RADIATION AS AMERICAN NUCLEAR PLANT WORKERS, COULD AND MORE THAN LIKELY WILL LEAD TO PUBLIC HEALTH DISASTER AS CHILDREN AND INFANTS ARE THOUSANDS OF TIMES MORE SENSITIVE TO RADIATION THAN ADULTS


Researcher: Japan accepting 20 millisieverts of radiation as safe “could lead to a public health disaster”
Independent researcher Ian Goddard has carried out a survey of published research on the potential health effects of rates of radiation exposure that the Japanese government has declared safe (up to 20 mSv per year). While few in Japan have been exposed to this level to this point, officials are on record saying that 20 mSv areas are safe for habitation. In addition, there are those in the Japanese scientific establishment who have argued that zones up to 100 mSv per year should be deemed safe. Currently evacuated towns closest to Fukushima Daiichi are likely to see radiation levels at or in excess of the 20 mSv exposure level for a decade or more



EXPOSED GROUPS                                                                               RADIATION AMOUNT

Civilians in the US are allowed a maximum of                                        1 mSv/yr.

 US maximum yearly radiation exposure for nuclear plant workers is 20 mSv/yr. 

 Fukushima Workers are 'Allowed'                                          250 to 1,000 mSv/yr

 Now add on all of the following things, which can greatly increase the radiation dosage from here... 

 Does this sound like a minor accident, that is only 10% of Chernobyl? 

 Via BreadAndButter May 10, 2012  Minami Soma: "5.57 Million Bq/kg Cesium from Soil, and People Are Cleaning Out Their Homes"

The new post on Ex-SKF is perfectly on-topic here:

"Minami Soma Assemblyman Koichi Ooyama says he went and collected soil samples (what he calls "black dust") in locations in Minami Soma, including several in Odaka District after the no-entry zone designation was lifted. He had them tested by the city's laboratory for radioactive cesium, and the result, as posted on his blog (5/10/2012) is shocking. The maximum is 5,570,000 becquerels/kg of radioactive cesium in soil in Odaka District. In the same district, half a million becquerels/kg of cesium in cow dung was also found. (…) Even if these samples are from areas where radioactive cesium is getting highly concentrated, I haven't seen numbers like this anywhere else in Fukushima outside the immediate vicinity of Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant.

Are you still convinced that Fukushima is only 10 percent of Chernobyl? 

Maybe it is time to dive in a bit deeper? 

Worst Case Scenario Around The Fukushima Mega Nuclear Disaster, Vs Best Case Scenario Presented By Nuclear Industry
http://agreenroad.blogspot.com/2015/10/worst-case-scenario-around-fukushima.html

THIS TOTAL DOES NOT INCLUDE TIMES WHEN CONTRACTORS WERE COVERING WORKER'S DOSIMETERS WITH LEAD SHIELDING


Tepco knew lead shields were made to cover dosimeters of Fukushima workers — Boss admits to making them use covers, claims he was frightened of radiation alarms

As a first step, let's go into the first technique, which is covering up a dosimeter with a lead shield made for that purpose. Of course, not all workers wear dosimeters, as this article will detail later on. Bottom line, workers had no radiation monitoring or protection, from the very first days of this mega nuclear disaster. 

Workers at the Fukushima Daichi plant were forced to cover their dosimeters with lead shields.. Why would they force their nuclear workers to do this, when the limits on radiation exposure for nuclear workers in Japan are so high as to be ridiculous? And this problem is not just something that happened once, back in 2011, but it seems to be a problem that keeps on happening.

Criminal? Fukushima Daiichi workers told to rip open radiation protection suits and insert lead plates -- "Make sure nobody sees what you are doing" -- Threatened with being fired

TOTAL DOES NOT INCLUDE WHEN NO DOSIMETERS WERE BEING ISSUED TO WORKERS IN HIGH RADIATION AREAS


Asahi: Disturbing picture emerging as nuclear employees come out of the woodwork — Fukushima workers report groups clocking in with no dosimeters August 6, 2012
Here is another report from NHK, about a heavy equipment worker saying that not only did he not receive any information about radiation dangers, he also got no dosimeter.

http://youtu.be/fjOHpPDJ4ns?t=2m44s

Wouldn't you agree that for workers to illegally and secretly shield their radiation meters, the amounts of radiation where they were working had to be above a legal limit, or they were so desperate for work, that they are willing to hide their true radiation exposure and commit a form of radiation exposure suicide, just to pay a few bills? 

Combine the ultra oscenely high 250 mSv/yr 'legal' dose, the covering up of dosimeters, plus the under reporting of actual radiation received and not issuing dosimeters to workers in extremely high radiation areas, and what do you get?

TOTAL DOES NOT INCLUDE UNDER ESTIMATING RADIATION WORKERS RECEIVED


"Tokyo Electric Power Co. underestimated internal radiation exposure of 142 workers involved in immediate emergency operations at the damaged Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant in March 2011, according to Japan’s Health, Labor and Welfare Ministry."
http://rt.com/news/tepco-radiation-workers-exposure-501/

GROUND SO RADIOACTIVELY HOT, IT HAS TO BE COVERED WITH STEEL PLATES TO BLOCK THE RADIATION


Sickputer March 25, 2015 Four-centimeter-thick steel plates cover the hot spots on the ground at Fukushima NPP. The original NHK article about this was removed during the Japanese State Secrets purge:
http://enenews.com/reuters-interviews-fukushima-worker-i-get-stomach-aches-they-should-give-us-a-medal-nhk-thick-steel-plates-cover-ground-due-to-radioactive-substances

Before those steel plates were put down, what happened to the workers who were walking or working in those areas? 

IGNORING RADIOACTIVE ELEMENTS SUCH AS NEUTRON RADIATION OR IODINE 132 OR 133, WHEN CALCULATING TOTAL DOSES NUCLEAR WORKERS RECEIVE


"The U.N. committee noted that workers were tested for thyroid gland doses from radioactive iodine only after a significant delay. It also said the dose assessment procedures totally ignored iodine-132 and iodine-133, which have short half-lives of 2 hours and 20 hours, respectively."

vital1 March 19, 2016 Shocking health effects in Fukushima nuclear workers found under the official radiation dose limits

Extracts:

The First male Daichi nuclear site worker had an official total dose of 50mSv. “I suffered damages to kidneys, heart, etc. — all important organs in my body.”

The second male Daichi nuclear site worker had an official total dose of 56mSv. He said

“I went to such a severe accident site and worked at the risk of my life, but all I’ve got was this cruel reality and treatment!” I suffered thyroid damage, and had all my stomach removed.

The third male Daichi nuclear site worker had an official total dose of just 19.2mSv. He was diagnosed as having acute myelogenous leukemia.
My doctor said that “70% of the cells in your bone marrow were occupied by cancer. Without any treatment, you will die for sure.”


I have added this report to the "Fatalities And Injuries Resulting From The Fukushima Nuclear Catastrophe", list here.


TOTAL DOES NOT INCLUDE USING PEGGED OUT METERS OR BEING SEND OUT WITH NO DOSIMETERS IN TANK FARM INSPECTIONS


"So how, exactly, did TEPCO get readings of just 100 mSv per hour until recently when they discovered readings of 1800 mSv per hour? You won’t believe this: They were using a radiation meter that maxed out at 100 mSv."
http://www.turnerradionetwork.com/news/143-mjt

"Tepco admitted recently that only two workers had initially been assigned to check more than 1,000 storage tanks on the site. Neither of the workers carried dosimeters to measure their exposure to radiation, and some inspections had not been properly recorded. The new radiation spike was measured at 1,800 millisieverts an hour—36 times the annual exposure Japanese regulators says workers can endure."

In the above story, all workers getting around the on site water storage tanks that emit huge amounts of gamma radiation are being exposed to up to 1,800 mSv/hr which can be fatal within 4 hours. But the workers are led to believe that they are safe, because the meter is reading only 100 mSv/hr, and they carry no dosimeters, as of 2013, TWO YEARS after the mega nuclear disaster happened.

This all by itself is an indication of massive fraud, cover up and lies around this the worker radiation dosage issue. But, no surprise, this is all too common after every nuclear disaster.

UNDERAGE WORKERS; NO CHECKING OF ID, NO BASIC BACKGROUND CHECKS?

SadieDog February 18, 2015 Man arrested for sending 15 yr old to work on Fukushima clean-up… "The boy told the Asahi newspaper that he was introduced to his former boss through a government-run employment agency and ordered to lie about his age. He said his former employer eventually lowered his wages to just $30 a day and hit him when he did not do well at his job."

TOTAL DOES NOT INCLUDE THINGS LIKE DOSIMETERS ONLY MEASURING SMALL FRACTION OF ACTUAL DOSE


Dosimeters Only Measure 1/7th Of True Radiation Levels On Average

Dosimeters only measure a small fraction of the actual radiation that is there. And depending on the make and model, it can be much worse.. Cover it with lead, and that makes the recorded radiation dose MUCH lower. It is even possible to 'calibrate' these dosimeters to show MUCH less radiation, in the same way that radiation meters peg out at 100 mSv/hr.

Assuming this is happening with the dosimeters that all workers are supposed to wear, how much radiation are workers REALLY being exposed to, compared to what is being 'reported' or calculated by lead shielded dosimeters or computer models and estimates for workers not wearing any at all? Just with the one 'trick' of meters maxing out at 100 mSv, workers are being exposed to 1,800% more DEADLY gamma radiation than the meters are recording.

The difference between appearance that TEPCO offers via press releases and reality is provided in the following video, which interviewed workers directly, despite their secrecy agreements.
http://youtu.be/Yj3e_JOIlMM?t=2m22s

Another issue is that neutron radiation is not picked up by dosimeters or Geiger Counters, and neither are hot particles. Radioactive gases plus hot particles are more hazards. In addition, plutonium, americium and uranium are alpha radiation emitters. One has to measure that radiation within 1 inch of the ground to detect it.

Walking around with a meter held chest high, one misses all alpha radiation completely, which is the weakness with all of these 'official' measurements done from the air or chest high. The result of missing these alpha emitting isotopes, added on top of the inefficiency of the detectors, results in the radiation readings for worker exposure always being way too low, by orders of magnitude.

This also happens to civilians who are being moved back into radiation contaminated areas.

SECRECY AND SUB CONTRACTORS PLUS MAFIA BEING IN CHARGE OF 'HOT SPOT' WORKERS, LIMITS INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION, BRAINWASHING STARTS IN TRAINING SCHOOL FOR NUCLEAR PLANT WORKERS

Via Cataclysmic January 7, 2015  "In the article, A Deathly Postscript Comes Back To Life (written by Joby Warrick, Washington Post):
It was “important, patriotic, secret work,” Harding wrote of the job he started in 1952, the year the plant opened. “Brainwashing started in training school: ‘Don’t talk to anyone. Never mention radiation. The public is stupid about radiation.’ “

Nuclear industry workers receive consists of a couple hours of indoctrination on the harmlessness of radiation, how all nuclear elements are safe, and that no radiation can harm them. Then these new recruits are forced to sign a consent form, a secrecy agreement and swear to never talk to anyone about anything around Fukushima. What is it with all of this secrecy? If everything being done in site is so legal and above board and everyone there is a hero, why is TEPCO acting like spies and secret agents, skulking around in the darkness? 

Signing a consent form does not mean much if they are not honestly told about the risks of radiation. Calculating radiation doses means nothing if the workers are given meters that peg out at low radiation levels, that are less than 5% of what they are actually being exposed to.


MANY RADIATION "ACCIDENTS" NOT INCLUDED IN TOTAL AMOUNT NUCLEAR WORKERS RECEIVE


Fukushima workers “undergoing treatment for radiation exposure” — Tepco: “6 people have been irradiated… big mistakes like this continue to happen again and again… essential that we put something in place to stop this” 

Contamination sprayed on men at Fukushima plant — Alarm sounds over radioactivity levels — Worker: They never told us Reactor 3 building was steaming, “I found out about it on TV”

Tepco “deeply apologizes for mistake” — Admits ‘sprayed’ Fukushima workers actually exposed to 5 times ‘safe’ radiation limit — Radioactive dust to blame, not water spray?

NO RADIATION HEALTH CHECK UPS FOR WORKERS; NO OFFICIAL OUTSIDE NEUTRAL GROUP CHECKING AND VERIFYING ANY NUMBERS OF INTERNAL RADIATION RECEIVED


Via rogerthat March 16, 2015 "The sick joke continues, kicked off with a misleading headline:

Only 35% of Fukushima nuclear plant workers agree to 1st round of health checks
- What this story tells you by omission is that there has been no attempt by the government to monitor the health of the tens of thousands of fukushima workers who have been drenched in radiation over the past four years.

Who are they? How many have worked there? Where are they? How many have died? How many are sick? What have they to say about the experience? If they are sick, do they receive free medical care? Do they receive compensation if their illness is caused by radiation? Is there even a central register?"

They cannot even find most of the small number that they initially tried to contact. Could that have something do to with all of the 'disappeared' workers?

Ionising radiation and risk of death from leukaemia and lymphoma in radiation-monitored workers (INWORKS): an international cohort study
Doses were accrued at very low rates (mean 1·1 mGy per year, SD 2·6). The excess relative risk of leukaemia mortality (excluding chronic lymphocytic leukaemia) was 2·96 per Gy (90% CI 1·17–5·21; lagged 2 years), most notably because of an association between radiation dose and mortality from chronic myeloid leukaemia (excess relative risk per Gy 10·45, 90% CI 4·48–19·65).

Interpretation
This study provides strong evidence of positive associations between protracted low-dose radiation exposure and leukaemia.

HOW MANY WORKERS HAVE DIED?


The truth is not getting out about how bad things really are at Fukushima Daichi. Despite this huge coverup and swearing everyone involved to secrecy, plus passing a secrets act that makes it a crime to talk about anything nuclear, bottom line, TEPCO is having more and more difficulty recruiting workers. They are so desperate, they are now getting the homeless to work there. Of course, the news is slowly leaking out that just visiting Fukushima may be very hazardous. 5,000 nuclear workers who visited the site are suffering from internal radiation exposure. 




Could it be that many more workers are dying than the authorities are admitting to? Officially, the authorities are trying to claim that not one person has died, despite these extremely high radiation levels and constant radiation accidents, spills and super high exposure levels, documented internal radiation exposure, plus incidents such as a worker getting exposed to 20 Sieverts gamma radiation and then dying from leukemia. 

August 30th, 2011 Worker Death From “Acute Leukemia” At Fukushima Daiichi
http://www.fukuleaks.org/web/?p=2485

Of course, this case of leukemia has nothing to do with high radiation exposure and all those workers dropping dead of heart attacks and cancers also have nothing to do with Fukushima. (sarcasm)

One Million + Fukushima Worker And Civilian Radiation Contamination Deaths Covered Up?
http://agreenroad.blogspot.com/2013/06/one-million-fukushima-workers-and.html

Before December of 2012, TEPCO would not admit that ANY workers had been exposed to radiation above 100 millisieverts. However, "TEPCO reported to the World Health Organization in December that (only) 178 workers at the plant were believed to have received radiation doses to their thyroid glands above 100 millisieverts." Out of the tens of thousands of workers who went through this plant and who all were exposed to 'hot particles', gases as well as intense radiation on a daily basis, only 178 had a radiation exposure that equaled 100 chest X rays. 

This was so laughably ridiculous, that someone up higher in the food chain told TEPCO that they had to redo this and come up with a 'better number'. So TEPCO came back and corrected their analysis. Now they report that 2,000 workers may have been exposed to radiation, sufficient to increase their chances of thyroid cancer. Still, they are NOT admitting that a single employee got cancer due to Fukushima, and not a single employee has died due to working there in that intense radiation disaster. 

MAFIA RECRUITS WORKERS, WORKER SHORTAGE GROWING


Given the dropping pay, worse working conditions and extremely high radiation, plus extreme health risks, is it any surprise that the numbers of workers on site has been dropping over the years, since 3/11?

In November, 2012; "A TEPCO spokesman said while they need 11,700 workers this year, 24,300 are registered to work at the Fukushima Daiichi plant. The spokesman said there is no shortage of workers"

Reuters asks an official about the sub human working conditions, pay skimming, and lower than minimum wages being paid at Fukushima in video above.
VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9A1m0dj8N6Q 1 hour 14 min.

But by March 18th, 2014 NYTimes: Crisis underway at Fukushima plant, worker shortage — “Alcoholism is rampant” — Tepco base is selling the whiskey — Help wanted ad seeks employees “able to carry out a conversation” — Workers spray hose full of radioactive waste on themselves and others (VIDEO)

In summary, things seem to be going from bad to worse in all ways at the Fukushima plant. It is no surprise that things keep breaking and that the water treatment plant is no longer 'cleaning' the water, and there are no plans to even fix it, as of 3/29/2004. The Yakuza mob still seems to be in control despite Japanese government assurances that this will be 'cleaned up'.

Heart of the Rose April 19, 2015  That's it, that's it. Raise the acceptable level. AT WHAT POINT IS IT GENOCIDE?

Health ministry proposes more than doubling radiation exposure limit
April 18 2015

The annual radiation limit for nuclear workers at Fukushima was officially raised from 100 m/Sv to 250 m/Sv per year.. Hmmm, this was done before.. and they claimed things were getting better. Now they are going back to it.. Does this sound like cold shutdown and decommissioning, knowing that the maximum exposure per year is;

 Exposed Population                       Maximum Exposure Allowed

Civilians in US   -                                                       1 m/Sv yr
Nuclear workers in US  -                                       20 m/Sv yr
Nuclear workers; Japan                         250 to 1,000 m/Sv yr

http://agreenroad.blogspot.com/p/low-dose-radiation-dangers-for-children.html

Does this sound like a 10% of Chernobyl type of accident, or something much worse? If Fukushima only released a tiny fraction of the radiation that Chernobyl did, why do the Japanese have to raise the official maximum radiation that nuclear workers are allowed to be exposed to by a factor of 1,200 percent? Could it be that Fukushima is 1,200 percent worse than Chernobyl? Could it be that Fukushima is getting worse and worse over time and it is still totally out of control, with multiple out of control heavy metal poison and radioactive 100 ton corium lava blobs underground? 

Could it be that the Japanese are so ashamed of what is going on at the largest mega nuclear disaster in history, that they are hiding and covering it up, denying that it even happened?

SUMMARY


Please send donations of more duct tape, baling wire and plastic sheeting to TEPCO, (sarcasm) since that is what seems to be symbolic of the level of concern for workers, for the environment, for their Japanese citizens, and for everyone around the world in general by the Japanese government, TEPCO and everyone involved with Fukushima. 

How much worse can it get than a totally out of control emergency that continues on even up to today?

or-well Poem July 21, 2012 
Cover rad-meter with plate of lead -
a procedure worthy of Barney or Fred
and one possessed of a flint-stoned heart.
Why any surprise?
It's but a part of quarrying lies
from the deep pit in which Nuclear sits.
Cover the Workers with fulsome praise!
Leave them naked to lurking nuclear haze,
their bodies being baked for all their days.
Cover evacuated people!
Make certain return seem the lesser evil,
deny compensation, fake remediation,
studied falsification, treatment pleas unheeded.
Cover those living where they should leave
with every assurance they've been trained to believe
from experts appointed, ignore future grieving,
annoint those wary as mentally disjointed.
Cover the nation with mythology!
Only when forced, have some make apology
for some partial reason that includes obfuscation
but never exclude nuclear justifications.
Cover Nuclear Industry! Cover the Truth!
No matter how deep and wide the river of lies
they'll cover it root, trunk, branch and fruit
until the will of people makes their lies moot.
