Fukushima is being quantitatively measured as being 33 times worse than Chernobyl. Where is the mainstream press now, having already repeated the mantra that Fukushima is not as bad as Chernobyl?
In the more scientific press, Fukushima is being called the next level of nuclear disaster, something far beyond Chernobyl in scope, reach, impact. It is the "China Syndrome" typifying the worst fears connected to a runaway nuclear meltdown.
Cause for comparison - The results of Chernobyl left 1 million dead at an early age, and it continues to shorten lives.
The effects of radiation are fearsome by any objective measurement, and yet we can't avoid the rise in permanent higher levels of "background radiation" around the world.
Short Videos of Fukushima
- Humorous Youtube vid here - FUKUSHIMA Radiation Levels Are like Gas Prices
- Illustrative video of radiation flows on the world map, mostly Northern Hemisphere
- Frightening in-depth explanation from Helen Caldicott, a very knowledgeable woman on this subject. Here, Helen Talks About the Horror of Fukushima and makes it all very understandable.
