TEPCO to Release Radiation from Fukushima No. 1 Reactor into Atmosphere

May 8, 2011 By 5 Comments

What’s the easiest way to reduce radiation levels inside the Fukushima reactor No. 1 because they are too high for the workers under international radiation limits? Simple! Share the radiation with the rest of the Northern Hemisphere!

From Kyodo:
Tokyo Electric Power Co. said Sunday the level of radioactive materials in the No. 1 reactor building of the crisis-hit Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant is low enough to pose no problem when it opens the building’s doors to help stabilize the damaged reactor.


The utility known as TEPCO said it had reported its plan to take the measure to the government’s Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency for review, and that it would open the doors after consulting local governments.
The double-entry doors that connect the reactor building with an adjacent turbine building will be opened to allow workers to reenter the site and build a new cooling system for the reactor, the most severely damaged at the six-reactor plant, which lost cooling functions in the March 11 quake and tsunami.

    This is such bol shit. I'm sick and tired of corrupt lying ass people who are in positions of power and don't seem to give a fuck about anybody! People are gonna die from this and I live on the west coast and the pathetic ass epa won't monitor a god damned thing until august. The only thing those bastards are gonna monitor is iodine. I see people around me eating fish and drinking milk oblivious to the deadly radiation. Why is tepko allowed to be in charge? The same way bp was in charge. I have been bending over backwords for the past two months trying not to get a lot of radiation and theres no end in sight. The news has completely ignored this and the alternative media is starting to ignore it. Sorry for swearing but if you had any idea the lengths I've gone too and the shit I've been getting from people who think I'm a loon you'd understand that swearing is necessary. Thanks for reporting this and I got news for the rest of america, its the whole country thats gonna be affected. Theres higher radiation readings on the east coast. But I'm in the area pacific northwest that is gonna get the brunt of this. I sent letters to my congressmen who responded back with the same jibberish theyve been saying the whole time. Comparing this crap to flying in a plane. And I told him small levels of radiation for extended periods of time are far more dangerous that high levels for short times. That is a fact. America has to get informed and stop being naive. Fight back against these bastards who are either trying to kill us or could care less if we die. I cant take this shit anymore!
