"Three years have passed since the earthquake and tsunami that caused the nuclear disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Japan. The tsunami’s immediate death toll was more than 15,000, with close to 3,000 still missing. Casualties are still mounting, though, both in Japan and much farther away. The impact of the Fukushima nuclear meltdown on health and the environment is severe, compounded daily as radioactive pollution continues to pour from the site, owned by the Tokyo Electric Power Company, TEPCO."

Japanese Government Squelching Efforts To Measure Fukushima Meltdown

"Tokyo - In the chaotic, fearful weeks after the Fukushima nuclear crisis began, in March 2011, researchers struggled to measure the radioactive fallout unleashed on the public. Aoyama Michio’s initial findings were more startling than most. As a senior scientist at the Japanese government’s Meteorological Research Institute, he said levels of radioactive cesium 137 in the surface water of the Pacific Ocean could be 10,000 times as high as contamination after Chernobyl, the world’s worst nuclear accident."

"A radioactive plume released from the Fukushima meltdown is expected to reach the west coast of the U.S. in April, said a panel of researchers in Honolulu Monday. However, without any federal or international monitoring, scientists are bereft of "actual data," guessing at the amount of radiation coming at us."

"So while the report was a positive step in disseminating information through a widely respected source, it wasn’t all inclusive and, as such, did little to allay my concerns over radiation affecting those of us who live on the West Coast and our far neighbors in Hawaii, who reside in the middle of an ocean that is continuing to be polluted with Fukushima radiation every day."

“Return To Fukushima” Airs This Week
"The transfer of nuclear fuel from the storage pool atop the crippled Reactor Unit 4 continues. TEPCO’s website reveals no new details, except for a note stating that the leakages at Unit 3 continue. In other most recent news reports concerning Fukushima, even Japan’s constitution seems to be at stake. The government has reportedly promoted a bill that would veil news transparency and keep further events at the TEPCO plant hidden from world scrutiny. CBS discusses an investigation into an online video of Geiger counter readings five times higher than normal at a beach in San Mateo County, California. Other media outlets vacillate between reassurance and fear."
