Japan Times, Jeff Kingston of Temple Univ., Apr. 4, 2014: Kyle Cleveland, my colleague [...] recently published a report [] a critical, but nuanced picture of a crisis that was closer to careening out of control than is generally acknowledged. [] Naval officers [] discovered the level of radiation was far worse than they anticipated. Radiation gauges on the [USS Reagan] measured levels of radiation at 100 nautical miles off the coast that were 30 times greater than normal. [Sailors report] significant health problems due to exposure to radiation [] Cleveland finds that there was considerable disagreement between various U.S. agencies about the severity of the risk [] Given that the U.S. government expanded the exclusionary zone in Fukushima to 80 km and developed contingency plans for a massive evacuation while shredding of documents continued for four days at the U.S. Embassy and military bases in Japan, somebody was obviously very worried. [] Some of his insider sources tell him that the crisis was actually far worse than anyone acknowledged at the time and that information was withheld to prevent a panic. Cleveland concludes that Japans nuclear reactors should not be restarted. Professor Kyle Cleveland, Temple University Japan: [The navy was] more risk averse than either the NRC (Nuclear Regulatory Commission) or State, and from day one was ringing alarms that were not entirely understood, not completely validated and not well received by the NRC and State. The navy was pushing the other federal agencies to take more aggressive actions because their radiation measurements were indicating dose rates that were more significant than what was implied by the abstract modeling [] Unidentified US Nuclear Expert: Without a qualitatively different regulatory system, and in light of how Japan/Tepco responded to this crisis, Japan has not earned the right to have nuclear energy. No critically minded and informed person can evaluate this disaster and look at how Japan has responded in the aftermath and have any confidence that Japan will use nuclear energy safely. In the most seismically active country [...] even if Japan had a robust regulatory structure and thoroughly integrated crisis protocols, nature conspires against the best-laid-plans of human institutions. And what Japan has is certainly not the best plan by any measure.

If anyone is not familiar with the 'stories' originating from that domain, do a bit of research into it. Here's a few ideas on how to quickly spot one: Hint 1: If the source is an anonymous Russian/Kremlin officials = huge red flag. Hint 2: If it's on the EU Times = huge red flag. Hint 3: If the links included do not provide proof of the serious assertions being made, and no exact quotes from the source are included = huge red flag. Hint 4: If it's 'major' new information about Fukushima that's been released and you are not seeing it excerpted on ENE = huge red flag.

April 6, 2014 at 1:22 am Log in to Reply I concur, and thank you for posting your advice. The article linked on Green Road is beyond implausible. It would be virtually impossible to evacuate the Tokyo metropolitan area in a short time under any circumstances, and any attempt to evacuate even women and children would take a very long time indeed. If such an effort were undertaken, citizens would be moved to Kyushu and Hokkaido. The idea of moving tens of millions of Japanese citizens to Chinese ghost cities is ludicrous, and to territory held by Russia only slightly less unlikely.

The point is: US regulatory and perhaps other staff shredded documents pertinent to the seriously critical nuclear event in Fukushima Japan (not to forget that Monju may have spread MOX+ around the world prior to 311). Don't distract from the legal point which requires serious review by human rights and Navy sailor lawyers and others who may wish to join in lawsuits against the culprits.

April 5, 2014 at 11:21 pm Log in to Reply Max Sievert, I've been familiar with Cleveland since the recent STS Forum. Very solid researcher and writer. Thanks for trying to help, though reading through the article in the Japan Times makes it clear this quote is not by Cleveland, but from an unnamed 'American nuclear expert' Any article that gets featured on ENE is read many times to make sure the most relevant excerpts are not missed. Once the excerpts to be used are identified, I read those excerpts several more times to determine a headline. There may be a spelling mistake in a headline every now and then, though I'm quite confident the comprehension is correct after reading through the excerpts around a dozen times by the time the post are made public. I'll paste the JT excerpt for those interested: "Cleveland concludes that Japans nuclear reactors should not be restarted. As one American nuclear expert told him, No critically minded and informed person can evaluate this disaster and look at how Japan has responded in the aftermath and have any confidence that Japan will use nuclear energy safely. And in the most seismically active country in the world, even if Japan had a robust regulatory structure and thoroughly integrated crisis protocols, nature conspires against the best-laid-plans of human institutions. And what Japan has is certainly not the best plan by any measure."

April 6, 2014 at 5:14 pm Log in to Reply ENE admin, your headline; "Fukushima crisis actually far worse than anyone acknowledged information withheld to prevent panic, says it all The fact that the R. Reagan crew fell ill so quickly demonstrates how deadly this poisoning of the Biosphere was I sense that with the public admission of the 700lbs of weapongrade plutonium and an undisclosed amount of highly enriched Uranium http://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2014/03/24/national/japan-toreturn-weapons-grade-plutonium-to-u-s/ that Japan is supposedly to return to the US, they are slowly conditioning the public to the TRUTH of what really exploded in R3 and R4. Too many people know, so the secret will come out anyway, sooner or later, and by having previously admitted they had stores of weapons-grade material, the shock when they say "oh, by the way some of that weapons-grade material went up in smoke on 3/11, will be less of a shock. "The actual cause of the blasts, according to intelligence

sources in Washington, was nuclear fission of warhead cores illegally taken from America's sole nuclear-weapons assembly facility. Evaporation in the cooling pools used for spent fuel rods led to the detonation of stored weapons-grade plutonium and uranium." http://www.rense.com/general94/secbb.htm http://www.stormfront.org/forum/t835959/

The only guarantee these folks offer is cost overruns, "cleanup" not so much. Hell, they all know they can't clean it up. Fukushima to the nuclear crowd is the financial opportunity of the centurytrillions will ultimately be spent. It's all about the money. It's always about the money. The costs on this clusterfu#k will rival the costs of any war to date. Sadly, the cost of human lives will be more than all the wars combined. It is the beginning of the end of us and them.

April 5, 2014 at 10:49 pm Log in to Reply Spot on, AFTERSHOCK! I'm surprised that no one else brought this up earlier. That the until now biggest nuclear catastrophe in history happened in Japan and nowhere else is purely random. There is no reason to assume that the handling of such a catastrophe would be any better in any other country. That opinion "No critically minded and informed person can [...] have any confidence that Japan will use nuclear energy safely" expressed by someone from a country which dropped two A-bombs on Japan is especially patronising. We will hear this putting all the blame on Japan more often. They will try to amputate on leg (Japan) in order to save the patient (the nuclear industry). The lesson to learn from Fukushima (for those who were uninformed on the topic or need a shock therapy to grasp anything at all) is to phase out nuclear power generation EVERYWHERE very quickly, in a matter of days, not years!

April 5, 2014 at 7:12 pm Log in to Reply Associate Professor Kyle CLEVELAND, Ph.D. Sociology Temple University Japan Campus He currently teaches the courses Sociology of Race and Racism and Ideology and Social Changes in Japan. Cleveland's research interests focus on Japanese popular culture and ethnic identity in relation to globalization and social changes in contemporary Japan. To his credit, he wrote about the US govt bureaucracy in terms of the many conflicting agendas about the realities vs delusions about Fuku. His academic skills fit with what he wrote about, as he was not addressing technical issues, per se. Why the title of Unidentified Nuclear Expert happened is a mystery, because he certainly is not. The See Also sub-link also makes reference to Anonymous source which turns out to be a good paper by Prof Cleveland also, so by no means Anonymous. Very misleading link title, for what ever reason. I think that the story at http://japanfocus.org/-Kyle-Cleveland/4075 is a great rabbit hole for ene readers. It reads like all of Watergate/IranContra/JFK/Enron as Fuku all condensed in to about 10 pages of "OMFG, we were right all alongin factit is worse than we had estimated." in terms of how most of us here have processed the available data on Fuku.

There was a time when I believed, as a young prosecutor, that the rank and file in LE and Intel were searching for their Robespierre. Now, I have come to understand that to be a ruse countenanced by their superiors, a ruse to keep their moralists motivated, but mostly a ruse by their superiors to cover their asses when the financial singularity comes.

April 6, 2014 at 7:19 am Log in to Reply I spoke too soon, about the "too much truth". Kyle Cleveland states: " While U.S. governmental organizations that had even a cursory stake in the crisis worked the event, the lead agency that provided consultation and support was the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). From the onset of the nuclear crisis through the following year the NRC assigned over 200 staff stateside and sent a core team of 16 NRC staff and nuclear experts to Japan. In the early days of the nuclear crisis as concerns about plumes of radioactive gases wafting across Fukushima became central, the NRC had remarkably little information with which to assess the reactor crisis, relying only on a streaming data feed from TEPCO via the MEXT website, briefings by the Foreign Ministry and media reports. Because of the paucity of data and the lack of communication with TEPCO, the U.S. government quickly set up a parallel process of radiation assessment and began conducting radiation surveys, ostensibly to protect their personnel from exposure as they worked tsunami relief efforts, but also because of a lack of faith in what TEPCO was conveying." continued

April 5, 2014 at 10:40 pm Log in to Reply Yes, we certainly did some damage to the Earth during those 2053 Nuclear Bomb tests and that latent seismic/bomb energy could have been stored in the Earth and yes that stored energy could now be activating plate movements and while being released. If one looks at the Expanding Earth Theory they could find similar thinking of how the Earth expands and I believe that the Sun does play a role in the Earth's expansion. Massive amounts of energy are released and I believe that energy is drawn in through the poles by our magnetic field to our core which then helps convert that Sun energy to matter. Walah an expanding Earth which depends on the Sun along with cosmic energy and dust to expand. But when you introduce new free electrons to this mix in the form of manmade Nuclear Energy then that released energy would also play a similar role in feeding the core and speeding up the process along with any plate movements, which should have instead taken hundreds of thousands of years to activate. Love theories..

Protocols when evacuating a base include shredding documents, as confidential information cannot be left lying about.

I do not think Japan's military bases or Germany's or the hundreds of other military bases around the world are on what I would call the US shoreline. Certainly the middle east is not next to Florida or Cuba is it? Interests appear to be what very large corporations want represented inside these nations and our military is for hire to protect their/those perceived interests along with present and future business dealings. If that does not stink of collusion and corruption at every turn along with ongoing conspiracy then I do not know what does my friend. Now had the military responded to protect the US shores from the foreign invasion of ongoing Nuclear Radiation Contamination spewing out of Fukushima, then maybe, they were doing their job of protecting the citizens of this country.

The fact of emergency protocols being quickly implemented is the point of interest and that the reality on the ground required an immediate physical military retreat of great logistical effort with no plan to return. This action is far more telling of the full understanding of the seriousness of the event. Whatever documents shredded may have included some communique of interest, but we plebes have no access even with FOI- we can infer through the heavily redacted FOI documents of our stateside response and see that the US was getting conflicting info from TEPCO and postulated a much worse/realistic scenario.

Of course we are bad actors in many circumstances, deposing legitimate Democracies, working through third parties to capture and torture in our secret prisons, paying out hundreds of millions in cash to warlords to de-stabilize and terrorize; the usual behavior of the US abroad. We are the monster that makes Godzilla wear tap shoes and dance over the environment and creatures and peoples of the world.

I hadn't fathomed why; guess it was the culmination of previous cesium. I wonder if there are up-to-date figures for the loss of plankton. Thought I recently read of a load of iron being deposit in the ocean of the Southern Hemisphere, however I cannot find a link. But then I examine the iron that I think has leaked from the outer core. http://www.discovery.com/earth/oceans/atlantic-ocean-floor-unexpectedlypumping-iron-130820.htm. Not only the fish will starve/poisoned, by the absorption of cesium by the plankton, but we are losing a source of oxygen. Nitrogen is now more evident. Forgotten what stratosphere that is manifesting in. Shark attacks are increasing, (starving sharks perhaps). I recall the 50's in Australia, perhaps the result of atomic tests. The increase in earthquakes may be because of the stirring of the cores of the earth (no

doubt geologists are examining this), but there are other factors that could also be influencing the earth.

The anti-thesis is that science knows what direction the plates are moving and they seem to be folding under each other laterally and the diameter of the earth has been fairly constant for the time that man has been able to measure it. Which is a very short time in Earth's history. Then there are the mountain ranges, easily created by either process

April 6, 2014 at 2:30 am Log in to Reply OK, admittedly this is headed off topic. So extrapolating from the expanding earth theory, filling in below the expanding universe theory, what if Earth was closer to the Sun long ago and as the planets grow they move further out. I know sizes of the planets does not support that but I have no clue how dense the cores of the planets are. Perhaps they grow at different rates. Perhaps they collect different types of space trash at different orbits. Perhaps Venus is next to spontaneously have life / evolution start there. Perhaps we are next to loose our oceans and become desolate like mars. So much to think about. I have heard of the space water theory and I am thinking in terms of a sorter at a metal shred plant right now. What if different fractions or weights of atomic material gather on the different planets / moons depending on their density / gravity, distance from the sun, availability of appropriate matter (someone closer isn't already collecting what they have an affinity for). I recognize these thoughts might not be novel but it is new to me. Any insight from ENEer's?

In essence, it says that nothing's changed, the Japanese or world societal fortitude isn't there for change. No matter what the causal physical trail that leads here, the sociologist or psychologist is amply qualified to make such statements. Stripped of anything other than the responsibility for the process that one might give to any common citizen of societies that have allowed nuclear development on this scale, I would think they are even more qualified than those who have intimate knowledge of

nuclear processes as they have no more to lose than any common man. There needs to be a sense that comes from the immanently non-technical side who's intelligence can't be assailed. As interested as I am in physical technicalities I'm not going to cite physical examples of why nuclear is an obvious fail. Our arguements should come from the fact that we as humans aren't equipped to deal with the problems on a societal level. Even those reasons why we aren't so equipped are not important to the arguement, only that we aren't.

They lied then, and are lying still: about Fuku, about WIPP, about Hanford, about your local NPP and nuclear waste dump. Despite the scare, officials said there was no indication that any of the military personnel experienced ill effects from the exposure, comparing it with "natural background radiation" that all people are exposed to daily. http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/USaircraftcarrierreportedlysailsintoradioac tivecloud/2011/03/14/id/389345/ The truth will out: http://enenews.com/tv-70-navy-sailors-apart-of-new-fukushima-lawsuit-couldbe-thousands-more-who-were-seriously-exposed-1-or-2-getting-sick-couldbe-a-coincidence-but-50-60-people-in-their-20s-off-one-ship-vi http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/12/20/sickened-by-service-more-us-sailorsclaim-cancer-from-helping-at-fukushima/

The best-known, but perhaps least serious, consequence of the tsunami is back in the news: the continuing efforts to contain radioactivity from the nuclear reactor meltdowns at the Fukushima Daiichi power station." http://www.theengineer.co.uk/opinion/comment/fukushima-alarmism-is-a-bigger-risk-thanradiation/1017047.article Fukushima, perhaps least serious?
