[the report]..focused on the fact that this deadly radiation is now contained within the bodies of tuna and other edible fish in the great Pacific…
Kindergartener, Savanna Urry was busy presenting her drawings, a poster setup, and an exclusively iPad shot and edited video, that all featured the nuclear topic, and focused on a very plain and daunting fact: The fact that deadly, and highly carcinogenic plutonium and cesium isotopes were spewed, and continue to be spewed into the Pacific Ocean to this very day from the worldâs first, full blown, (triple) nuclear core MELT-THROUGH (many magnitudes more destructive than a traditional nuclear MELTDOWN because it enters groundwater tables). The project additionally featured and focused on the fact that this deadly radiation is now contained within the bodies of tuna and other edible fish in the great Pacific and beyond.
As we approach on March 11 the one-year anniversary of the Fukushima nuclear disaster, itâs a good time to take heed of the lessons from that tragic event.
Lesson one: Governments lie.

NO NUKES | RE-TOOL NOW
Robert Knoth and Antoinette de Jong visited the Fukushima region with Greenpeace in the autumn of 2011 to bear witness to the effects wrought on the region by the nuclear fallout from the triple meltdown at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant.
The shadow of radiation now looms over the people, the animals, and the environment of this area of Japan. Well-kept agricultural land is now becoming wild, children’s play areas and petrol stations are contaminated and abandoned, and nature is taking back roads. Each photo captures the eerie beauty of a region left in limbo as radioactive fallout permeates all aspects of life.
This video was produced to accompany the exhibition. The interactive exhibition can be found at www.greenpeace.org/shadowlands.

Nukespeak is a classic!
Award-winning investigative journalist Karl Grossman interviews Nukespeak co-author Rory OâConnor on Grossmanâs nationally-aired TV program, Enviro-Close-Up. Grossman has been a journalist for more than 40 years, and is a professor of journalism at the State University of New York/College at Old Westbury. He is also the chief investigative reporter for WVVH-TV.
Grossman said he was happy to be talking about the 30th anniversary updated edition of Nukespeak: âOf the books written about nuclear technology through the years, Nukespeak is a classic. The new edition of Nukespeak has been updated â with four new chapters â and added to its title is: The Selling of Nuclear Technology from the Manhattan Project to Fukushima. It tells how nuclear promoters have been â and continue â using Orwellian language to try to hide the truth about the deadly dangers of nuclear technology.â

EnviroVideo presents Enviro Close-UP with Karl Grossman on blip.tvA EnviroVideo produces environmental and social justice programs for television – including interview and news shows, specials, and documentaries. The underlying premise of EnviroVideo is that there are critical environmental issues at hand that can best be communicated to large numbers of people through the media most favored for news and information – television and the Internet. And if there is broad public awareness, pressing environmental matters can be dealt with and action taken to truly resolve them.

Radiation is scary, radiation is dangerous, you can’t see or smell it, and you can’t run from it
Independent Media Center | www.indymedia.org | ((( i ))): “Lies, Damn Lies, and Safe Nuclear Power – by Stephen Lendman
In any form, nuclear power is inherently unsafe. For decades, nuclear expert Helen Caldicott warned it must be abandoned, saying:
‘As a physician, I contend that nuclear technology threatens life on our planet with extinction. If present trends continue, the air we breathe, the food we eat, and the water we drink will soon be contaminated with enough radioactive pollutants to pose a potential health hazard far greater than any plague humanity has ever experienced.’
Anti-nuclear activist/expert Professor Karl Grossman agrees, calling ‘Atomic Energy: Unsafe in the Real World’ in his June 29 article, saying:
‘Nuclear power requires perfection and no acts of God’ to avoid accidents that may become catastrophes. Humans and technology aren’t perfect. Natural and other type disasters happen. ‘(W)e can’t eliminate them. But we can – and must eliminate atomic energy’ or it will eliminate us.
On March 18, Bloomberg said Japan’s Fukushima disaster ‘follows decades of falsified safety reports, fatal accidents and underestimated earthquake risks in Japan’s atomic power industry.’
The same is true in America and elsewhere – governments, regulators, and power companies suppressing vital truths, instead of shutting down inherently unsafe plants, making all of them ticking bombs…”
