Wake Up Time for Fukushima, Nuclear Power and Global PoliticsCatherine J. Frompovich Does Prime Minister Abe of Japan think that Tokyos winning the 2020 Olympics will pull Japans monetary chestnuts out of the fire so that the government will get enough tourism money so that the cleanup bill will be paid for then? The trouble is Japan and the world cannot wait until them; it may be too late. Cleanup is long overdue, as radiation contamination is getting catastrophic day by day with the release of nuclear fission pollution, e.g., a plume of radioactive cesium-137 into the Pacific Ocean and the dispersion of radionuclides into the atmosphere. Furthermore, Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) doesnt have the expertise to do the cleanup, according to some experts, and needs to recognize that immediately, if not sooner. It desperately needs to procure expert nuclear fission technology and personnel who can help to neutralize the situation, since the entire planet is being affected and, the Northern Hemisphere in particular, may become radioactive. Along the lines of helping the situation, numerous physicians, scientists, and nuclear fission experts sent a four page letter to Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon at the United Nations outlining 15 points of concern regarding the current status of the Fukushima disaster. See their letter here. Listen carefully to what nuclear power expert Gunderson says. Think about where the fish on your dinner plate comes from. Consider beefing up your nutritional intake to fortify your immune system. Seek out health professionals who can guide you with regard to protecting your thyroid and health, in general. One question I have is this: With one hundred nuclear power plants operating in the USA, and having experienced one serious nuclear accidentThree Mile Islandone would think that the USA figuratively would be banging on Japans door offering technology and help. What I cant quite figure out is this: How come the USA is so capable of sending bombs, scuds, depleted uranium warheads, and other means of destruction into countries in the name of national security, when it seemingly wont lift a finger to clean up radioactivity that is impacting life and the planet? Good question? What does that say about priorities? Shouldnt we be demanding that our government start a coalition of nuclear power countries to offer Japan help and expertise to clean up this global disaster? If Russia and the USA can agree on Syria, why cant they do something about helping Japans Fukushima disaster, which is worse than any hurricane or earthquake for which the U.S. usually offers and sends help? President Putin, President Obamawholl go first?
