Mixed thoughts about this post. The Fukushima disaster is probably the most serious current public health threat in the world. Yet to discuss this publicly appears to be almost futile. The danger exists, who can doubt that? The control and eventual elimination of the danger is above the ability of the Japanese, possibly anyone, to achieve. An above ground ‘canopy’ capable of shielding radiation is apparently being constructed, but will it shield radiation that normally requires lead or thick steel or even thicker concrete to absorb the radiation? It will prevent particle release into the atmosphere but not actual radiation, I suggest.
Then there is the radiation leakage below ground level, full-on meltdown radiation contaminating the sea and underground water table.
That is the physical situation, confounded by the authorities covering up information from the public. Allowing the public to be subjected to dangerous radiation by failure to release data and/or raising “official” safe radiation levels to con the public that they are safe. This occurs because there is no method of controlling the situation and “face must be saved”.
” fatally high radiation levels” actually require another parameter as damage amount to life is time related – a certain level exposure for a certain time can be termed fatal. Perhaps they mean so extreme that a second of exposure is fatal. However, the general picture is formed.
