UFO witness over Fukushima: “I believe they have come to save us”

 A new episode of Netflix’s UFO documentary series Encounters chronicles the sighting of unidentified objects above the Fukushima nuclear power plant after the accident.

On March 11, 2011, the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Japan became the site of one of the worst nuclear disasters in human history. This was due to a strong earthquake and subsequent tsunami, which led to the failure of its electrical network.

These disasters destroyed much of the surrounding area, but one of the few major structures to survive was the Buddhist temple of Enmein, now called the “Temple of Miracle”. Its abbot, monk Tomonori Izumi, tells how he saw a UFO over Fukushima immediately after the accident: “The UFOs appeared after the explosion. There were so many of them. I was shocked. Radiation was leaking everywhere.

“I believe the UFOs came to regulate the flow of radiation to save us. At least that’s my theory. I don’t know if it was some kind of god or some powerful being in the UFO, but I believe that some invisible force really came to save us,” says Izumi in the episode “Encounters: Fires Over Fukushima” ....<<<Read More>>>...

Japan to restart world’s largest nuclear plant 15 years after Fukushima disaster

Japan's largest nuclear plant clears final political hurdle for restart.

Local assembly approves despite significant resident opposition and protests.

The plant is operated by TEPCO, the utility responsible for Fukushima.

Restart is driven by economic pressures and goals for energy security.

The move highlights a deep national divide over nuclear power's future.

Nearly 15 years after the Fukushima disaster reshaped Japan’s energy landscape and shattered public trust, the country is poised to restart the world's largest nuclear power station. On December 22, the regional assembly in Niigata prefecture delivered a crucial vote of confidence in Governor Hideyo Hanazumi, effectively removing the final political barrier for the restart of the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa plant. This pivotal decision allows plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Co. (TEPCO), the same utility that ran Fukushima, to immediately begin the process of bringing the long-dormant facility back online, marking a profound shift in national policy driven by economic and energy security demands.

The move is a watershed moment in Japan's fraught return to nuclear energy. Following the 2011 catastrophe, all 54 of the nation's reactors were gradually taken offline. Japan has since restarted 14 of the 33 reactors deemed operable, but Kashiwazaki-Kariwa is the first to resume under TEPCO's management. The facility, located about 136 miles northwest of Tokyo, boasts a total capacity of 8.2 gigawatts, enough to power several million homes. Its revival is central to government plans to reduce a costly dependence on imported fossil fuels....<<<Read More>>>....

Fukushima: Storage tanks are full, radioactive waste to be dumped straight into the ocean

[Natural News]: Japan’s Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant was commissioned back in 1971 and was one of the world’s largest power stations until double natural disasters in March 2011 caused the second worst nuclear accident in history.

The plant’s operator, Tokyo Electric Power (Tepco), has tried everything to contain the resulting buildup of contaminated groundwater, but recent reports indicate that they have effectively lost the war.

The go-to solution has been to store 1 million tons of the toxic water in 1,000 tanks at the site, but the company has now warned that it will have run out of tank storage by mid-2022. The proposed solution? After going to such great lengths to contain the water because of its toxicity, Tepco is now insisting that it can safely be diluted by being drained into the sea....Read The Full Article Here>>>...

Fukushima: “An Ongoing Global Radiological Catastrophe” & “A Huge Coverup”

[David Icke]: Despite humanity’s increasing levels of intelligence, if you were an extraterrestrial looking down on our planet, you may conclude that we are one of the dumbest species in the universe.

We have so much potential, yet we cling to our archaic ways that destroy our planet and do not operate in harmony with this planet and all life on it.

Energy generation is one of many great examples–we don’t have to use nuclear power, oil, or any other Earth-disrupting method to meet our energy goals and needs. There are a number of ways we can generate energy without harming our planet, and they were discovered decades ago.

This reveals a very important point about humanity and where we are at today. The issue is not finding and discovering solutions to our problems, because the solutions already exist. The issue is acknowledging and identifying what prevents us from implementing these solutions. The problems are red tape, human greed, ego, profit, money, and power. It’s a shame we have yet to dismantle these qualities and characteristics when we are sitting on so many of the solutions to the world’s problems.

The Fukushima disaster is a great example. The three meltdowns and at least four big core explosions at the Fukushima nuclear-power plant’s six American-designed Daiichi reactors in March 2011 still constitute the world’s worst nuclear nightmare thus far, surpassing even the Chernobyl #4 reactor’s explosion and meltdown of April 1986...read more>>>...

Has The Holy Grail of Radioprotective Foods Been Found?

[Wake Up World]: Could the melanin found in our bodies and in foods like mushrooms help to mitigate the increasingly dire quantities of radiation we are exposed to daily?

There is the possibility that melanin’s biological role in the human body may extend far beyond simply protecting us against UV radiation. In fact, one recent and highly controversial paper proposes that melanin is responsible for generating the majority of the body’s energy, effectively challenging the ATP-focused and glucose-centric view of cellular bioenergetics that has dominated biology for the past half century.

Research is now emerging indicating that melanin may function in a manner analogous to energy harvesting pigments such as chlorophyll, and may have even have driven our evolution into the uniquely hairless, brain-dominant hominins we are today. While melanin’s proposed ability to convert sunlight into metabolic energy has amazing implications (one of which is the taxonomical reclassification of our species from heterotrophic to photoheterotrophic), what may have even more spectacular implications is the prospect that melanin may actually both protect us against ionizing radiation and transform some of it into metabolically useful energy.

In a day and age where radioisotopes from nuclear weapons testing, routine releases from the nuclear, fracking, and coal-fired power industries, and more recently, global fallout from the Chernobyl and Fukushima meltdowns, are increasingly accumulating in the environment, food chain, and our bodies, reducing radiotoxicity and/or enhancing detoxification mechanisms should be a universal concern. Add in the unavoidable onslaught of medical, cell phone communications and WiFi technology, and air travel associated radiation exposures, and you can virtually guarantee your body burden of radiation exposure is significant and represents a serious health risk...read more>>>...

Fukushima: “An Ongoing Global Radiological Catastrophe”. “A Huge Coverup”. Dr. Helen Caldicott

Natural Blaze: The eight year anniversary of the triple meltdowns at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear facility passed mostly without comment in mainstream media circles. In spite of ongoing radiological contamination that will continue to spread and threaten human health for lifetimes to come, other stories dominate the international news cycle. The climate change conundrum, serious though it may be, seemingly crowds out all other clear and present environmental hazards. As part of efforts to normalize this historic event and cover it up in its magnitude, the Japanese government has invested considerable financial, public relations and other resources into what they are billing the ‘Recovery Olympics‘ set to take place in a year’s time in Tokyo.

But Helen Caldicott warns that the dangers associated with Fukushima have not gone away and remain a cause for concern.

Fukushima is a very agricultural prefecture. Beautiful, beautiful peaches, beautiful food, and lots of rice. And the radiation spread far and wide through the Fukushima prefecture, and indeed they have been plowing up millions and millions of tons of radioactive dirt and storing it in plastic bags all over the prefecture. The mountains are highly radioactive and every time it rains, down comes radiation with the water. So the radiation – the elements. And there are over 200 radioactive elements made in a nuclear reactor. Some have lives of seconds and some have lives of millions of years or lasts for millions of years will I say. So there are many many isotopes, long-lasting isotopes – cesium, strontium, tritium is another one – but many, many on the soil in Fukushima.

And what happens is – you talked about bio-magnification – when the plants take up the water from the soil, they take up the cesium which is a potassium analog – it resembles potassium. Strontium 90 resembles calcium and the like. And these elements get magnified by orders of magnitude in the rice and in the plants. And so when you eat food that is grown in Fukushima, the chances are it’s going to be relatively radioactive.

They’ve been diluting radioactive rice with non-radioactive rice to make it seem a bit better. Now, into the ocean go these isotopes as well, and the algae bio-magnify them by – you know -ten to a hundred times or more. And then the crustaceans eat the algae, bio-magnify it more. The little fish eat the crustaceans, the big fish eat the little fish and the like. And tuna found in – off the coast of California some years ago contained isotopes from Fukushima. Also fish, being caught on the west coast of California contained some of these isotopes. So, it’s an ongoing bio-magnification catastrophe.

And the thing is that you can’t even taste, smell or see radioactive elements in your food. They’re invisible. And it takes a long time for cancers to occur. And you can’t identify a particular cancer caused by a particular substance or isotope.

Do not eat any Japanese food because you don’t know where it’s sourced. Do not eat fish from Japan, miso, rice, you name it. Do not eat Japanese food. Period. Um, fish caught off the west coast of Canada and America, well, they’re not testing the fish so I don’t know what you’d do. Um, I mean, most of it’s probably not radioactive but you don’t know because you can’t taste it.

Um they’ve closed down the air-borne radioactive measuring instruments off the west coast of America, uh, but that’s pretty bad, because there still could be another huge accident at those reactors.

For instance, if there’s another large earthquake, number one, all those tanks would be destroyed and the water would pour into the Pacific. Number two, there could be another meltdown, a release – huge release of radiation, um, from the damaged reactors. So, things are very tenuous, but they’re not just tenuous now. They’re going to be tenuous forever....read more>>>...

Japan announces new plan to drain radioactive Fukushima water DIRECTLY into the Pacific Ocean

Natural News: Government authorities in Japan have announced new plans to start dumping highly radioactive wastewater from the failed Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power facility directly into the Pacific Ocean.

Though the amount of radiation in the water far exceeds legally-permitted levels, according to the plant’s operator and documents reviewed by the U.K.’s Telegraph, there’s apparently no other place to put it at the site, which is on the verge of seeing its storage capacity completely maxed out.

Reports indicate that approximately 1.09 million tons of contaminated water currently being stored inside 900 tanks at Fukushima will soon be drained in the Pacific in order to make more space for new water, a move that’s sparking outrage among local residents and a number of environmental organizations that worry about what the vast contamination will do to the world’s largest body of water....read more>>>...

INSIDE the heart of Fukushima's deadly reactor: New footage shows melted nuclear fuel still clinging to the walls where radiation levels are so high even robots cannot enter

Daily Om: These stark images showing the heart of the Fukushima nuclear disaster zone reveal the devastation inside its destroyed reactor.

The scenes were captured by a camera attached to a 50ft rod and inserted into reactor 2 at the doomed Japanese power plant, on the country's north east coast.

Footage shows melted nuclear fuel attached to the pillars, walls and ceiling, as well as puddles of coolant, and debris piled up 16 to 27ins thick on the ground.

Analysis of the images by the International Research Institute for Nuclear Decommissioning said the spread of debris was suggestive of several holes in the reactor floor.

It is seven years since the disaster was unleashed by the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami. But due to the deadly dose of radiation inside Fukushima, humans have to rely on robots to explore it – and even these have been left malfunctioning and broken...read more>>>...

Secrets of the worst industrial disaster in history: The public may never know the full extent of the damage from Fukushima

Natural News: Remember Fukushima? Most of us who live on the other side of the world can tell you it was the site of a triple nuclear meltdown six years ago, but that’s all in the past now, right?

The truth is that the effects of the incident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant will be felt by every living being on the planet for years to come, and it doesn’t matter if you live down the street from the plant or you’re a fish swimming in the ocean thousands of miles away. The true extent of the damage from this devastating incident is something that many people fail to fully grasp.

Radiation works slowly but surely to destroy everything it comes into contact with, and just how far the damage reaches is something that only becomes apparent over time. It’s just when most of us are starting to forget what happened that the effects of the world’s biggest industrial disaster in history start to rear their ugly heads...read more>>>...

As Media Labels Fukushima A 'Conspiracy Theory,' Radiation Soars To Record Level

Activist Post: Radiation levels inside Fukushima Number 2 have reached astronomical levels — experts describe the 530 sieverts per hour as “unimaginable” — yet the political establishment and its corporate media mouthpiece insist on deeming those concerned about the catastrophe ‘conspiracy theorists.’

March 11, 2011, saw a massive undersea earthquake spawn an equally formidable tsunami, and — as the world watched in horror — the wall of water slammed into the Japanese coast, knocking Tokyo Electric Power Company-operated Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant offline.

Anyone who watched the cataclysmic situation unfold on live TV surmised the dire consequences of having situated a nuclear facility in one of the world’s most active fault zones — and on the Pacific coast — but the cost in radioactive impact of the disaster has yet to be fully assessed....read more>>>...

Officials State one-third of the World’s Oceans May Be Contaminated with Fukushima Radiation

Waking Times: The Fukushima nuclear meltdown has had exponential repercussions on the world. When the disaster happened, the media was all over it. People were concerned and wanted action. But very quickly, the media’s eye turned to another matter, than another, than another. Now, very few people likely think about the Fukushima disaster and what mark it made on the world.

Regardless of the lack of mainstream media attention, the Fukushima nuclear disaster is still affecting the world today. Over nearly six years now the leak from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant caused by the tsunami and preceding Tōhoku earthquake on 11 March 2011...read more>>>...

Fukushima Forests, Dubbed ‘Radiation Reservoirs,’ Are Full of Mutated Life Forms

Five years after the earthquake-triggered events that led to the meltdown of three reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant in Japan, significant levels of radiation remain in the area – particularly in the forests near the disaster site.

The Japanese government has been attempting to clean up the radiation in the villages near the plant so that they can be repopulated, but so far, the surrounding countryside has been left alone, based on the advice of the Atomic Energy Commission.

The cleanup efforts have greatly reduced the amount of radiation in the villages, but according to a new report published by Greenpeace that was based in part on several peer-reviewed studies, the forests near the plant have become “radiation reservoirs,” where radiation-induced mutations are now appearing in several plant and animal species...read more>>>...

The Slow Bleed: Fukushima Five Years On

The melt down of three nuclear reactors at Fukushima in the wake of the earthquake and tsunami of 11th March 2011 seems to have quietly slipped out of our collective awareness - as quietly as the cauldrons of radioactive elements that were once within the active cores of the reactors invisibly bleed into the groundwaters and seawaters of the region. This event has become yet another minor detail in the distorted mosaic of ruin that mirrors the latter days of a civilisation in free-fall...read more>>>...

Fukushima five years later: "Fuel rods melted through their containment vessels, no one knows where they are now"

S.O.T.T: Today, Japan marks the fifth anniversary of the tragic and catastrophic meltdown of the Fukushima nuclear plant. On March 11, 2011, a massive earthquake and tsunami hit the northeast coast of Japan, killing 20,000 people. Another 160,000 then fled the radiation in Fukushima. It was the world's worst nuclear disaster since Chernobyl, and according to some it would be far worse, if the Japanese government did not cover up the true severity of the devastation. At least 100,000 people from the region have not yet returned to their homes. A full cleanup of the site is expected to take at least 40 years. Representative of the families of the victims spoke during Friday's memorial ceremony in Tokyo..read more>>>...

The Fukushima Paradigm

Of the many and serious threats to humanity at this time there is one over-riding issue: Fukushima. Name one subject more critical to humanities future - you can't!

Not that there aren't a couple dozen contenders for that throne, it's just that even the worst of them simply cannot match the future legacy of Fukushima. It makes me wonder if people would behave differently towards Fukushima if they could see the radiation, as well as its effects. I wonder. This is the worst surrealistic nightmare ever, with humanity playing Nero as earth burns in Fukushima sunshine.

If it only took four years for the Pacific ocean to begin dying from Fukushima radiation; how long before the ocean conveyor currents carry the deadly radiation to every ocean on the entire planet?? Figure that the damage will double in four more years, minimum; which means the pacific will become even more irradiated as the currents spread the invisible death around the globe. How long before the Tuna are all gone and there are no more fisheries anywhere? How long before no life remains in earths oceans at all?

Factor in all the airborne radiation being pumped into earths atmosphere and ecosystem for four years now; falling to ground in rainwater, on food crops and the grass cows eat. How long before the entire human food chain is radioactive? How long until we quit ignoring reality. Tepco and the Japanese government are guilty on multiple counts of crimes against humanity; ranging from spreading the contamination all over Japan to willfully pumping millions of gallons of contaminated water into the ocean...read more>>>...

Nuclear Engineer: Japan’s PM ‘Lying to the Japanese People’ About Safety of Fukushima

TEPCO Official: Fukushima is Out of Control

Common Dreams: "I’m sorry, but we consider the situation is not under control." Those were the words of Kazuhiko Yamashita, executive-level fellow for Fukushima plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Company when he was pressed by the opposition Democratic Party of Japan. His statements directly contradict the claims of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzō Abe, who assured the International Olympic Committee meeting in Buenos Aires Saturday that the situation is under control. TEPCO officials moved quickly to cover Yamashita's tracks, releasing a statement Friday declaring It is our understanding that the Prime Minister intended his statement ‘the situation is under control’ to mean that the impact of radioactive materials is limited to the area within the port of the power station, and that the densities of radioactive materials on the surrounding waters are far below the referential densities and have not been on continuous upward trends. According to this understanding, we share the same views.

Yet, all evidence suggests that the crisis is far beyond the current abilities of the Japanese government and operator TEPCO to contain it....read more>>>...

TEPCO admits deliberately using radiation detectors that give deceptively low readings; radiation leaks far worse than reported

(NaturalNews) At the Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear power plant, radiation isn't the only thing leaking out. Each week, it seems there's another small leak of the truth that has been deliberately hidden from the public. Yesterday, TEPCO finally admitted it has been downplaying the ongoing radiation release levels by a factor of almost twenty.

But the real story here is exactly how TEPCO arrived at the deceptively small numbers it has been reporting since the 2011 accident. It turns out (see below) that TEPCO has been deliberately using radiation detectors that "max out" at relatively low levels (i.e. they don't go higher than 100 mSv). When those detectors are pegged at their max readings, instead of switching to a more capable instrument with a larger detection range, they simply report the maximum detection limit of the smaller detector as the "real" exposure number...read more>>>...

Deadly levels of radiation found in food 225 miles from Fukushima: Media blackout on nuclear fallout continues

Natural News: New data released by Japan's Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare (MHLW) shows once again that the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster is far from over. Despite a complete media blackout on the current situation, levels of Cesium-137 (Cs-137) and Cesium-134 (Cs-134) found in produce and rice crackers located roughly 225 miles away from Fukushima are high enough to cause residents to exceed the annual radiation exposure limit in just a few months, or even weeks. According to Fukushima-Diary.com, which posts up-to-date information about the Fukushima disaster, rice crackers and tangerines produced in the Shizuoka prefecture are testing high for both Cs-137 and Cs-134. Rice crackers, according to the data sheet, tested at 3.7 Becquerels per kilogram (Bq/Kg) of Cs-137, while tangerines tested at 1.46 Bq/Kg of Cs-134 and 3.14 Bq/Kg of Cs-137...read more>>>..
