What if this happens in Iran?
Two days after running the story we received an email from
the World Nuclear Association, the mouthpiece of the nuclear industry who runs
the website: www.world-nuclear-news.org, demanding we remove the story
as it had resulted in a rush of people contacting this organization for more
information. Per our policy however we refused to comply.
<Fukushima> Reporting from the village of Fukushima I
was shocked to find on my arrival that hundreds of whale carcasses were found
along the beach early this morning which now extend up and down the shore as
far as I can see.
Workers at Fukushima Look at Leaking Nuclear Waste Escaping
into Pacific Ocean
Due to the great deal of concerns and questions people have
since the story broke and the fact that the world now knows that Japan has been
anything but forthcoming with the truth the National Report sent it’s
Editor-in-Chief Nigel Covington, to Fukushima to get to the bottom of the real
Fukushima story.
New revelations coming out of Japan just days ago after the
government took charge of this global emergency two years after the March 11,
2011 nuclear plant catastrophe it is clear that the government has
intentionally failed to report the extent of the disaster to the people of the
world. Nigel is in Fukushima now and we have received his first report on the
disaster which follows.
The Scene Near Fukushima Today – Killed by Nuclear Radiation
The scene is absolutely devastating especially since no word
of this latest crisis has been reported to the Japanese people or to the rest
of the world. In fact the Japanese government has remained silent about today’s
latest events.
Local residents claim they were told not to worry as the
nuclear plant was brought under control shortly after the March 11, 2011
incident and there was little to no radiation concerns.
But what I’m hearing from experts and scientist here today
is that they estimate 219,000 tons of nuclear waste has leaked into the Pacific
Ocean over the past two years which up until 14 days ago TEPCO had kept a
secret. After it was reported that at 300 tonnes (300 long tons; 330 short
tons) of “heavily contaminated water” has been leaking from a storage tanks
into the ocean daily. They also state the ground water in the region has been
contaminated with high levels of radiation, but since the government stepped in
to take control of the site relieving TEPCO the government has said little
about the events taking place here.
It is an outrage for the government to remain silent. Two
scientist I spoke to on the beach tell me maybe the government has been silent
because no one can yet begin to image the impact this debacle will have locally
as well as globally. Scientist on the site admit this is a major event but they
too can only speculate on what will come tomorrow.
