Report raises fresh concerns about radiation levels in Japanese fish.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency tested fish exports from Japan for several months, but dropped the testing in June 2011, just three months after the disaster. “Canadian authorities are really doing us all a disservice by not following and monitoring this much more closely. They’re treating it as though it’s a kind of ho-hum situation, but in fact, it was a major event worldwide. And it should be studied very more carefully because that’s the only way we’re going to learn what the effects of this may be for the future” said Gordon Edwards.

Cesium 137 found in Children’s Urine in Fukushima Showing Ongoing Widespread Problem in Japan.
The acceptable amount of radioactive cesium in human urine is zero. The substances (cesium 134 and 137) does not exist in nature and cause damage to the human body. It was widely reported that a citizen group in the Tokyo region found cesium in children’s urine recently. While this is notable, it isn’t unique. Radioactive cesium has been found in the urine of children across a wide area of northern Japan since 2011.

Extremely clear explanation of the threat to us from Fukushima.
Journalist, author, activist and historian Harvey Wasserman has been reporting on, and participating in, the nuclear free movement for decades. In that time, by his judgment, only one other event matches the danger to the world posed by the Cuban Missile Crisis. That event is the ongoing nuclear disaster at Fukushima.

In 5 Charts, Here’s Why Nuclear Energy Is Going Nowhere.
(note from Mary Olson at NIRS:Please note that one of the key factors that under-lie the 5 charts shown in the article linked below is that nuclear has not been building much or fast… well folks there is a LOT of different reasons for that, but one of them surely is that PEOPLE have said “no way” — we have helped to keep the institutional memory of nuclear accidents, melt-downs and 98 reactors CANCELED in the first round of nuclear construction… so please do not look at this and let ANYONE tell you we did not have to “bother! HIP HIP HOORAY for the day a business journal reports the story WE have been telling for a very, very long time!”
