    Fukushima is Killing Tens Of

    Thousands of AmericansYou may have entertained the idea of an improbable civilization ending

    events such as a global killer asteroid, earth crust displacement or

    massive solar storms, but what if there existed a situation right now that

    was so serious that it literally threatened our very existence?

    According to a host of scientists, nuclear experts and researchers, were

    are facing exactly such a scenario and current efforts may not be able

    to stop it.

    When the Fukushima nuclear plants sustained structural damage and acatastrophic failure of their spent fuel cooling systems in the aftermath of

    the Japanese earthquake and Tsunami in 2011, it left the government of

    Japan, Tokyo Power and nuclear regulatory agencies around the world

    powerless to contain the release of deadly radiation. A year on, the battle

    for control of Fukushima continues to no avail.

    Japan and U.S. Children being Born

    with Birth DefectsIts estimated that tens of thousands ofpeople in Japan and the whole of North

    America have been affected, with

    reports indicating that children in Japan

    and the U.S. are already being born

    with birth defects, as well as thousands

    who have already succumbed toradiation related illness. As we initially

    followed the breaking news during the

    first thirty days of the accident, we

    suggested the Fukushima disaster

    would be worse than Chernobyl. Not

    even we could have imagined how

    much worse it would be.

    If current estimates are correct, Fukushima has already released as much radiation into

    the atmosphere and Pacific Ocean as Chernobyl, and the potential for a disaster at

    least ten times worse is highly probable in the event of another earthquake or accident

    that leads to a collapse of the cooling structures which are above ground and have

    already suffered significant damage.

    Fukushima already Bigger than

    ChernobylAccording to U.S. Army General Albert N. Stubblebine (ret.) of the

    Natural Solutions Foundation, the situation is extremely serious

    and poses a significant danger to our entire civilization. Since

    TEPCO and the Japanese government have refused theentombment option (as the Russians did with Chernobyl) the

    world is at the mercy of nature. A mistake here would cause the

    deaths of tens of millions of people across the globe.

    If there ever existed a threat that could cause the end of the

    world as we know it, its the ongoing and unresolved nuclear

    saga in Japan:

    North Americans have already died

    from the Fukushima calamity

    When the highly radioactive Spent Fuel

    Rods are exposed to air, there will be

    massive explosions releasing many

    times the amount or radiation released

    thus far. Bizarrely, they are stored three

    stories above ground in open concretestorage pools. Whether through

    evaporation of the water in the pools, or

    due to the inevitable further collapse of

    the structure, there is a severe risk.

    United States public health authorities

    agree that tens of thousands of North

    Americans have already died from the

    Fukushima calamity. When the final

    cataclysm occurs, sooner rather than

    later, the whole Northern Hemisphere

    will become largely uninhabitable.

    Despite Denial and Cover-Up, the

    Reality has EmergedFact. On March 11, 2011, Fukushima Daichi nuclear powerstation with six nuclear reactors suffered cataclysmicdamage that some believe was a man made event,and the

    resulting Tsunami. Hydrogen explosionsat least onenuclear explosion and then subsequent deterioration ofthe visible plants at five of those reactors have created athreat situation unparalleled in human history.

    Fact. Despite denial and cover-up, the reality has emerged,that enormous amounts of radioactive material has beenspewing into the atmosphere, polluting the groundwater,and the food of Japan, and entering by the tens of millionsof gallons the waters of the Pacific.

    No Way to Sugarcoat the Fukushima

    FactsTheres no way to sugarcoat

    these facts. Denying them,

    blocking them out,

    pretending that they are

    not real is of no help to you

    and your family, and itleaves you totally

    unprepared for a danger

    that the Natural Solutions

    Foundation has been

    warning about since thefirst day.

    As of three weeks ago the levels of radiation inside of the spent fuel pools of unit no. 2

    are too high to measure. Get that too high to measure. And, the water there is

    evaporating, meaning that heat and radiation could easily build to very high levels.

    Cesium 137 is set to Destroy the World

    Environment and our Civilization

    Very simply put, if this much Cesium

    137 is released, it will destroy the

    world environment and our

    civilization. This is not rocket science,

    nor does it connect to the pugulistic

    debate over nuclear power plants.

    This is an issue of human survival.

    We can play the denial game all day

    long and pretend that, because themainstream media is not reporting on

    it, there is no threat, but the facts are

    quite clear.

    Ten Times More Cs-137 Released

    than by the Chernobyl accidentThe No. 4 pool is about 100 feet above ground, is structurally damagedand is exposed to the open elements. If an earthquake or other eventwere to cause this pool to drain this could result in a catastrophicradiological fire involving nearly 10 times the amount of Cs-137

    released by the Chernobyl accident.

    The infrastructure to safely remove this material was destroyed as itwas at the other three reactors. Spent reactor fuel cannot be simplylifted into the air by a crane as if it were routine cargo. In order toprevent severe radiation exposures, fires and possible explosions, it

    must be transferred at all times in water and heavily shieldedstructures into dry casks.. As this has never been done before, theremoval of the spent fuel from the pools at the damaged Fukushima-Dai-Ichi reactors will require a major and time-consuming re-construction effort and will be charting in unknown waters.

    Worlds Largest Concentrations of

    Radioactivity and its Coming Your Way

    The total spent reactor fuel inventory at the

    Fukushima-Daichi site contains nearly half of the

    total amount of Cs-137 estimated by the NCRP to

    have been released by all atmospheric nuclear

    weapons testing, Chernobyl, and world-wide

    reprocessing plants (~270 million curies or ~9.9E+18 Becquerel).

    It is importantfor the public to understand that reactors that have been operating for

    decades, such as those at the Fukushima-Dai-Ichi site, have generated some of the

    largest concentrations of radioactivity on the planet.

    Regulatory agencies all over the world are warning of the potentiality of a further

    degradation of the Fukushima nuclear reactors and spent fuel pools, and the

    subsequent nuclear fallout that would follow.

    Radiation Will Spread Across the

    Entire Northern HemisphereIf these reactors go and they could at any moment for any

    number of reasonswere looking at a situation for which you

    simply cannot stock enough food, or water, or supplies. Radiation

    would spread across the entire northern hemisphere and would

    be impossible to contain.

    While weve argued in the past that there is no place wed rather

    be than in the United States of America in the event of a socio-economic collapse or global conflict, if these spent fuel pools

    collapse, then an international exit strategy may be the only

    option.

    Most of the World would be Irradiated

    The following map may be of some help, as it details the estimated fallout pattern resulting from a

    nuclear war between Russia and the United States. Youll note that, while most of the world would

    be irradiated, the southern hemisphere would be your best bet to avoid the brunt of it:
