A recent investigative report documented that GE has known this all along, that the units were faulty in design and hoped they could possibly fix them with changes later on. Instead of coming up with a working design they suppressed information, complaints from engineers were ignored and they wrote liability out clauses into contracts with local utilities that unwittingly bought these reactors. Court documents from a lawsuit between a Washington state utility and GE exposed the extent to which GE went to lie to utilities and the public about the faulty design of their reactors.

Letter to Abe quoting health effects of Fukushima:
“Analysis based on the most inclusive data sets available reveals that radioactive fallout from the Fukushima meltdown is at least as big as Chernobyl and more global in reach.”
“400 to 500 times the amount of cesium-137 of the Hiroshima atomic bomb, has already been dispersed into the atmosphere.”
“It is unlikely that there is a threshold below which cancers are not induced.”
“A single becquerel of radiation has the potential to initiate cell damage ultimately leading to cancer and assorted illnesses.” “Radiation contamination is cumulative, with the greatest danger resulting from internal exposure through inhaling contaminated air, eating contaminated foods and drinking contaminated water. Thus, the longer one remains in a contaminated environment, the more likely one is to become sick.
“About 10 million people have been left in the areas that should have been designated radiation-controlled areas, and they are exposed to continual radiation every day.”

Michael..what a great way to start a New Year! It is just way beyond terrific to have all of these important articles, with their links, all listed on one page. First of all, it is really impressive to see that there are so many recent articles that MUST be read, and second…it is wonderful not to have to go hunting for them. I just wish I had the time back that I have spent in the past, trying to locate these articles, in order to forward them to friends, in an attempt to inform and educate them as to the nuclear crisis that is going on, thanks to Fukushima. I just wish that the US Government would go and do likewise!
While I know that there are certainly articles on this potential global disaster to be found in some small newspapers, I have not, so far, found anyone, anywhere, who has been tackling the whole Fukushima disaster, head on, as you have been doing. And, in addition, you have also written many articles, plus, now, a five part series, on our local nuclear and toxic chemical contamination on the Santa Susana Field Laboratory.
I cannot believe how incredibly lucky that we all are to have you here in our midst, doing your knowledgeable environmental reporting, without which we would basically all be in the dark, when it comes to understanding and interpreting everything that has been happening in California, the USA, and the World. My hope is that in 2013, you, and also Denise, will continue to have the concern, energy and courage to keep investigating and writing about all of these issues, which affect the health and welfare of all of us.
Meanwhile, 2012 grateful THANKS!
