A new analysis prepared for Greenpeace Germany by nuclear safety expert Dr Helmut Hirsch shows that by March 23 2011, Japan’s nuclear crisis has already released enough radioactivity to be ranked at Level 7 on the International Nuclear Event Scale (INES). This is the scale’s highest level, and equal to the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster

I'm video documenting the Japan disaster

I'm very grateful to the DUers for their links to the stories

1. They are going

to need more numbers on this one.

2. If people really understood that there is simply

NO safe levels of radioactive fallout, as someone somewhere will be ingesting whatever is now in the atmosphere, then people would be shutting down the capitals of all the nations in the world.

But the media offers it s re-assuring spiel 24/7.

Meanwhile, just from the radioactivity released by above ground nuke tests and depleted uranium vaporized in battlefields ranging from Kosovo to Iraq to Afghanistan, kids in California are getting very rare cancers in increasingly "puzzling" numbers.

3. "kids in California are getting very rare cancers"

I had not heard about that.
