FUKUSHIMA RADIATION, CANCER FOUND IN SEALS, WALRUSES

BELOW ARE PHOTOS FROM REAL NECROPSIES OF SEALS AND WALRUSES.

In 2012, a necropsy of a California harbor seal also revealed cancer.

"A growth was found on her salivatory gland (which were removed just prior to this photo) – on closer inspection of her mouth later, we found cancer. She had lost most of her molars to the tumors. Seals swallow their food whole, so she had no problem feeding. Typically harbor seals apparently don’t live long enough to get cancer."

NO GREAT WHITE SHARK WAS EVER SEEN WITH CANCER BEFORE, EITHER....
AND THEN A PACIFIC GREAT WHITE WAS PHOTOGRAPHED WITH CANCEROUS TUMORS IN 2013 NEAR AUSTRALIA. 

 It's the first documented tumor in this species.

"This was a very unusual sight as we have never before seen a [great] white shark with tumors," said Rachel Robbins, a study co-author and shark biologist at the Fox Shark Research Foundation, near Adelaide, in southern Australia. 

HER TEAM ALSO FOUND CANCEROUS TUMORS ONA BRONZE SHARK, ALSO A FIRST.

IF A HUMAN PRESENTED WITH SUCH LESIONS, RADIATION EXPOSURE/BURNS WOULD BE A PRIME SUSPECT.

REMEMBER, CESIUM 134 COMES ONLY FROM FUKUSHIMA....NOWHERE ELSE.Journal of Environmental Radioactivity, Feb 2016:
"Fukushima-derived radiocesium was detected in migratory northern fur seal… In July 2014, our investigative team traveled to St. Paul Island, Alaska to measure concentrations of radiocesium in wild-caught food…
[O]ther investigators have detected Fukushima-derived radionuclides in a variety of marine products harvested off the western coast of North America.

We tested… 54 northern fur seal… when composited, northern fur seal tissues tested positive for trace quantities of [Cesium-134 adn Cesium-137].

Radiocesium was detected at an activity concentration of 37.2 mBq 134Cs kg [fresh weight, not dried] and 141.2 mBq 137Cs kg… indicating that this population of seals has been exposed to ... Fukushima-derived radiocesium.

Scientists present links between unusual Alaska seal deaths and Fukushima fallout —
Skin lesions, hair loss, lethargy, mutations, tumors, bleeding disorders, etc —

 ‘Pulsed release’ refers to when built-up radionuclides were set free as ice melted —

 “Wildlife health implications” due to radiation exposure discussed.

The ongoing Alaska 2011 Northern Pinnipeds UME investigation continues to explore a mix of potential etiologies (infectious, endocrine, toxins, nutritious etc.), including radioactivity.
Currently, the underlying etiology remains undetermined [i.e. scientists don’t yet know what caused the seals’ sickness, but they think it might have been Fukushima radiation].

We present results on gamma analysis (cesium 134 and 137) of muscle tissue from control and diseased seals, and discuss wildlife health implications from different possible routes of exposure to Fukushima fallout to ice seals. 

Since the Fukushima fallout period occurred during the annual sea ice cover period from Nome to Barrow, a sea ice based fallout scenario in addition to a marine food web based one is of particular relevance for the Fukushima accident.

Under a proposed sea ice fallout deposition scenario, radionuclides would have been settled onto sea ice. Sea ice and snow would have acted as a temporary refuge for deposited radionuclides; thus radionuclides would have only become available for migration during the melting season and would not have entered the regional food web in any appreciable manner until breakup (pulsed release).

The cumulative on-ice exposure for ice seals would have occurred through external, inhalation, and non-equilibrium dietary pathways during the ice-based seasonal spring haulout period for molting/pupping/breeding activities.

Additionally, ice seals would have been under dietary/metabolic constraints and experiencing hormonal changes associated with reproduction and molting.
 

Incidental Gross Necropsy Findings in Subsistence-Harvested Ice Seals and Walruses

 [This is a PDF file]  

Reproductive system: adnexal cysts [uterus], uterine and penile melanosis [darkening of skin], cliteromegaly [enlarged clitoris], cryptorchism [testicle(s) absent from scrotum], retained placenta;

• Endocrine system: thyroid cysts, adrenal nodules;

• Musculoskeletal system: synovial cyst [fluid-filled sacs in spine due to degeneration];

• Integumentary system: panniculitis [inflammation of fatty tissue], epidermal molt, skin sloughing;

• Respiratory system: lung tumor, parasitic granulomas [inflammation that forms when immune system is unable to eliminate a substance];

• Digestive system: microdontia [teeth smaller than normal], chronic interstitial pancreatitis [inflammation of pancreas], hepatic cyst [liver], cholestatic jaundice [yellowing of skin caused by thickening of bile or problems in liver], geophagia [eating dirt], and primary diffuse peritoneal tumor [membrane lining abdomen];

• A variety of the observed disease conditions are reported for the first time in ice seals and/or walruses.

NOAA and USFWS declared an Alaska Northern Pinnipeds Usual Mortality Event (UME) in late winter of 2011.

The ongoing Alaska 2011 Northern Pinnipeds UME investigation continues to explore a mix of potential etiologies (infectious, endocrine, toxins, nutritious etc.), including radioactivity.

  Currently, the underlying etiology remains undetermined.

We present results on gamma analysis (cesium 134 and 137) of muscle tissue from control and diseased seals, and discuss wildlife health implications from different possible routes of exposure to Fukushima fallout to ice seals.

The cumulative on-ice exposure for ice seals would have occurred through external, inhalation, and non-equilibrium dietary pathways during the ice-based seasonal spring haulout period.  

 Marine debris was tested in the field, but not in the lab, and field results would not distinguish Cesium 134 from Cesium 137.

REALLY?
THAT'S ODD.
WHY NOT TEST IN THE LAB WITH MORE SENSITIVE EQUIPMENT?  

A HELL OF A LOT OF FOLKS WITH GEIGER COUNTERS STROLLING OUR PACIFIC BEACHES HAVE SURELY DETECTED HIGH RADIATION LEVELS, AS DID MANY "OFFICIAL MONITORS"....UNTIL THOSE WERE TURNED OFF!


JUST TO DOUBLE-CHECK, I DID THREE SEARCHES BY THREE DIFFERENT SEARCH ENGINES FOR "RESULTS OF RADIATION TEST PACIFIC WHALE (AND THEN SEAL, WALRUS, POLAR BEAR, DOLPHIN, SEA TURTLE, PELICAN)" AND ALL CAME BACK WITH NO RESULTS BUT THE ONES ABOVE.

HOW CAN RESULTS STILL BE PENDING FROM 4 YEARS AGO?
HOW CAN RESULTS STILL BE UNPUBLISHED IF THERE ARE ANY RESULTS?

ONE ARTICLE TEASED:
Radiation levels have been quite low in every study conducted to date.

BUT, NO, NO ACTUAL PRINTOUTS OF RESULTS.

WE ARE PERHAPS NOT TO REALIZE THAT THIS MEANS RADIATION WAS DETECTED IN EVERY STUDY...JUST SEE THE WORDS "QUITE LOW"? "EXPOSURE...THROUGH EXTERNAL, INHALATION, AND...DIETARY PATHWAYS..."  

REMEMBER THAT STATEMENT OF HOW RADIATION ENTERED THE ANIMALS.       LET US LOOK CAREFULLY AT THE "FALSE LOGIC" APPLIED BY THOSE WHO ARE CHARGED WITH KEEPING AMERICANS FROM PANICKING...AS IF PANIC WOULD EVEN ENSUE IF WE WERE SIMPLY PRESENTED THE HONEST FACTS.

WORST CASE OF FAULTY LOGIC AND MISINFORMATION, MISSING DATA, ETC, MUST GO TO WOODS HOLE'S MAN, KEN BUESSELER.

2015
 
"Scientists with the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) in Massachusetts reported Monday that a water sample collected in mid-February from a dock in Ucluelet, on British Columbia's Vancouver Island, contained trace amounts of cesium-134 and cesium-137 – isotopes that only come from human sources.

However, the levels detected in the sample were so low that even if someone were to swim for six hours a day, every day of the year in water containing twice as much cesium, the radiation received would still be 1,000 times less than what they would receive from a single dental X-ray."

GOT IT?  
NOW LET'S TAKE THAT APART...  


(1) CESIUM 134
THIS PARTICULAR CESIUM  COMES ONLY FROM THE FUKUSHIMA'S DAI'ICHI PLANT.   
IT MOST DEFINITELY WAS FOUND IN ALASKA YEARS PRIOR TO THE WOODS HOLE "FIND".

IT DID NOT, I REPEAT, DID NOT APPEAR IN THE ENVIRONMENT FROM PREVIOUS NUCLEAR TESTING, OR FROM NUCLEAR BOMBS DROPPED ON JAPAN.

IT IS A NEW THING UNDER THE SUN.  

THAT THE WOODS HOLE BOYS FOUND "TRACE AMOUNTS" OVER 4 YEARS AFTER THE INITIAL DISASTER IS VERY IMPORTANT.  

IT PROVES THAT FUKUSHIMA IS STILL LEAKING, STILL PUMPING OUT, AMONG MANY, MANY OTHER RADIONUCLIDES, CESIUM 134.THAT ARTICLE ADMITS THIS FACT:

"They say they are certain the radioactivity came from Fukushima because cesium-134 has half-life of only two years, meaning the cesium decays relatively rapidly, and the only recent source of cesium-134 has been Fukushima."   

[PLEASE NOTE: AS AN "ANONYMOUS" COMMENT POINTS OUT, QUOTING THAT COMMENT, "cs134 half life is 2 years, after 2 years, half of it will be gone, after another 2 years, you halve the quantity that was left, and so on...." 'ANONYMOUS IS, OF COURSE CORRECT.

HOWEVER, WE DO KNOW CESIUM 134 IS STILL LEAKING FROM DAI'ICHI. IT WILL LEAK UNTIL SOMEONE STOPS ALL THE LEAKS, WHICH IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DO IN ANY NUCLEAR REACTOR ANYWHERE. THEY LEAK, FROM DAY 1 TO DAY LAST AND BEYOND. THE DAMNED THINGS LEAK.]   

LIKE ONE SCIENTIST CAUTIONED: "WHERE THERE IS CESIUM, THERE IS ALSO PLUTONIUM, STRONTIUM, {ETC}..."
REACTORS DON'T JUST LEAK ONE LITTLE RADIONUCLIDE!
ANOTHER LINE THAT DOESN'T QUITE TELL THE TRUTH: 

"Last November (2014), the team found Fukushima radioactivity in a sample taken about 150 kilometers offshore of Northern California.

However, no radiation had been found, until now, in any samples taken near Canadian or American shorelines."

THE STATEMENT WAS, THEY DID FIND IT LAST NOVEMBER, NOVEMBER OF 2014, A MERE 150 KILOMETERS, OR JUST 93 MILES OFF THE CALIFORNIA SHORE. 

 

THE ARTICLE ABOVE WAS WRITTEN IN APRIL, 2015, AND STATES NONE WAS FOUND NEAR SHORE UNTIL NOW.  

 

ARE WE TO BELIEVE THE WATER IN WHICH THE CECIUM 134 WAS FOUND IN 2014 JUST SAT THERE FOR 6 MONTHS AND DIDN'T DRIFT INLAND WITH TIDES, CURRENT, ONSHORE WINDS, ETC.?

ONLY A FOOL WOULD SAY THAT.  

THEREFORE, IT IS SAFE TO SAY THAT JUST OFFSHORE OF AMERICA'S WEST COAST, CESIUM 134 WAS DETECTED IN 2014.

AS WE WILL SEE BELOW, CESIUM 134 WAS DETECTED ON AMERICAN SOIL IN 2011.
WE MAY ALSO ASSUME THAT CONTAMINATED WATER DID TOUCH SHORE BEFORE APRIL, 2015.
IT RAINED.

THE DAI'ICHI PLANT EXPLODED IN 2011...THERE HAD TO HAVE BEEN CESIUM 134 IN OUR WATERS BY 2013 AT THE OUTSIDE. 
AND YET THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY DETECTED IT HERE IN 2011.

DEBRIS BEGAN WASHING ASHORE HERE IN 2012.
DID THE RADIATION SOMEHOW POSTPONE THE TRIP?

ANYONE WHO MAKES A SHORT STUDY OF HOW THAT PACIFIC OCEAN MOVES CAN SEE THE TRUTH.
IT'S CALLED THE PACIFIC GYRE.

THE CESIUM 134 HAD TO HAVE ARRIVED SOONER THAN WE'RE BEING TOLD.

(2) SAFE LEVELS OF CESIUM, BOTH 134 AND 137.

BUESSELER SAID ONE CAN SWIM IN THAT WATER FOR 6 HOURS A DAY FOR A YEAR AND IT IS EQUAL TO ONE DENTAL X-RAY?  

 WHAT ABOUT SWIMMING IN IT FOR 24 HOURS A DAY, FOR ALMOST 5 YEARS?
THAT'S WHAT MARINE LIFE HAS HAD TO DO. 

 WHAT ABOUT LEVELS, SAY, 500 MILES OUT, LEVELS 500 MILES FROM FUKUSHIMA, FROM THE U.S., CANADA, RUSSIA? 

WHAT ABOUT LEVELS MID-OCEAN?

WHAT ABOUT THE FACT THAT MARINE ANIMALS' SKINS ARE NOT THE ONLY THING BEING AFFECTED?
AS THEY FEED ALL THEIR INTERNAL ORGANS MUST BE GLOWING IN THE DARK!

HOW ABOUT TELLING US WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE EAT RADIONUCLIDES, WOODS HOLE?

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN ANYTHING CONSTANTLY EATS RADIOACTIVE PARTICLES FOR OVER 4 YEARS?

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN RADIOACTIVE PARTICLES ENTER THE BODY THROUGH A CUT, A SCRAPE, THROUGH MUCOUS MEMBRANES, THROUGH WIDE-OPEN EYES, THROUGH EVERY BREATH THEY DRAW?

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN EVERY BODY SYSTEM OF A MARINE MAMMAL IS ASSAULTED BY UNDOCUMENTED LEVELS OF FUKUSHIMA RADIATION FOR ALMOST 5 MISERABLE YEARS, WOODS HOLE?

TELL US ABOUT HOW RADIATION ACCUMULATES INSIDE A BODY!  

TELL US HOW IT BUILDS UP AND UP AND UP AS IT MOVES UP THE FOOD CHAIN!

WILL ANYONE AT WOODS HOLE SPOON-FEED A BABY TISSUE KNOWN TO BE CONTAMINATED BY EITHER CESIUM 134 OR 137?  


WILL ANYONE FEED A BABY JUST A TINY BIT OF STRONTIUM, URANIUM, AMERICIUM, POLONIUM, PLUTONIUM, TRITIUM...?

IT'S A LONG LIST OF RADIOACTIVE CRAP EMITTING FROM OLD DAI'ICHI, ISN'T IT?
TALK TO US ABOUT EVERY BLOODY ONE OF THOSE, WILL YOU?
STOP DISTRACTING US WITH THE CRY OF CESIUM ALL THE TIME.
TELL US WHAT THE OTHER DOZENS OF RADIOACTIVE PARTICLES DO TO LIFE!
TELL US HOW ELSE WE'RE GETTING HIT BY ALL OF THAT!
JUST ONCE, TELL THE WHOLE TRUTH! 

BY AIR, BY SEA, BY RADIOACTIVE DEBRIS WASHING ASHORE, BY URANIUM BUCKYBALLS WHICH TRAVEL ON THE SURFACE OF WATER, IN SEA SPRAY, RADIOACTIVE RAIN...EVERYTHING...TELL US ABOUT EVERYTHING, WOODS HOLE!

WHY ISN'T ANYONE TALKING ABOUT OTHER RADIONUCLIDES, KNOWING THAT CESIUM IS NOT THE ONLY THING WE NEED INFORMATION ABOUT!

TELL US WHAT THE LEVELS OF ALL RADIONUCLIDES ARE ALONG EVERY MILE OF OCEAN, FROM FUKUSHIMA TO SAN DIEGO, FROM FUKUSHIMA TO ALASKA, TO CANADA'S SHORES!

THE LEVELS OF RADIATION ARE NOT THE SAME ALL ACROSS THE PACIFIC!
THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE!
THERE ARE VAST AREAS OF CONCENTRATED PARTICLES/CONTAMINATION AND NOAA, THE EPA, THE GOVERNMENTS OF JAPAN AND AMERICA KNOW THAT.

WHY LIE OR MISLEAD? 

MARINE LIFE FACES MANY DIFFERENT TYPES AND MANY DIFFERENT LEVELS OF RADIATION OUT THERE!


TELL US, WHAT DID THE ATOMIC ENERGY COMMISSION SAY WAS A "SAFE LEVEL" OF RADIATION?

OH, THEY SAID THERE WASN'T ANY SUCH THING AS A SAFE LEVEL, REMEMBER, WOODS HOLE?   
OPPENHEIMER HIMSELF SAID THAT!

WHAT DID THE EARLIEST NUCLEAR PHYSICISTS SAY?
THE SAME THING, RIGHT?
REMEMBER? 

OPENHEIMER SAID THEY HAD BECOME DEATH!

WITH THE VERY FIRST RELEASE OF NUCLEAR RADIATION INTO OUR ATMOSPHERE, THEY HAD UNLEASHED DEATH ONTO THE PLANET.
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A "SAFE LEVEL" OF RADIATION INSIDE A LIVING BODY.

AND SINCE YOU USED THE ANALOGY, USING YOUR FAULTY LOGIC, LET'S JUST SAY THAT ALL LIFE SWIMMING THROUGH JUST THAT DELUSIONAL "SAFE" LEVEL OF JUST CESIUM,  DOING SO FOR 24 HOURS A DAY, NOT 6, BUT 24,  FOR JUST ONE YEAR,  NOT BREATHING,  NOT EATING,  WITH PROTECTIVE EYE GEAR,  WITH NO OPEN LESIONS ANYWHERE ON THEM...

OF COURSE, THAT IS NOT WHAT'S GOING ON OUT THERE, IS IT?

THAT'S WHAT, KENNY, BY YOUR ESTIMATION? 

EQUIVALENT TO 4 DENTAL XRAYS IN ONE YEAR?  

WILL ANY DENTIST TELL US THAT'S A GREAT LEVEL OF RADIATION FOR A LIVING ORGANISM, 4 SHOTS A YEAR?

 A DENTAL XRAY is about the same RADIATION DOSE as one chest X-ray, JUST AIMED TOWARD THE HEAD.    


DO GOOD OLD XRAYS CAUSE CANCER, EVER?   
ONLY SEVERAL THOUSAND KNOWN, DOCUMENTED CASES AND DEATHS EVERY YEAR!   

Researchers estimate that at least 2 percent of all future cancers in the U.S.—approximately 29,000 cases and 15,000 deaths per year—will stem from CT scans alone.

 Even some standard X-rays, which expose you to much smaller amounts of radiation, can pose risks if you undergo multiple ones.

Marvin M. Lipman, M.D., Consumer Reports’ chief medical adviser: 

“But the effect of radiation is cumulative, and the more you’re exposed, the greater your cancer risk. So it’s essential that you always ask your doctors why they are ordering an imaging test and whether your problem could be managed without it.”

Cancers from medical radiation can take anywhere from five to 60 years to develop, and risk also depends on age and lifestyle. 

Other researchers estimate that for every 1,000 children who have an abdominal CT scan, one will develop cancer as a result. And a 2012 study that looked at almost 180,000 British children linked CT scans to higher rates of leukemia and brain cancer."


SO...GO AHEAD, WOODS HOLE, TELL AMERICA TO SWIM IN THE PACIFIC, EAT SEAFOOD, ACCUMULATE RADIATION.


(3) RADIATION JUST NOW HITTING AMERICAN/CANADIAN PACIFIC COASTS?
IN 2015?

THEN HOW THE HELL DID THIS BIT OF DEBRIS FROM JAPAN (PICTURED BELOW) GET TO OUR SHORES IN APRIL, 2012?

IF IT TOOK 4 YEARS FOR CESIUM TO DRIFT OVER, IT SURELY MUST HAVE TAKEN A DIFFERENT ROUTE THAN ALL THE DEBRIS HAS TAKEN, YES?

NO!
NO, KENNY AND OTHERS.
IT ARRIVED LONG, LONG BEFORE NOW.

{SEE IN NOTES AT END OF THIS ENTRY, "GREAT PACIFIC GYRE", HOW WATER MOVES FROM JAPAN TO AMERICA.]

AND BEFORE THAT!  

"Within five days of the accident atmospheric air masses carrying Fukushima radiation were transiting into the northern Bering and Chukchi seas.  

During summer 2011 it became evident to coastal communities and wildlife management agencies that there was a novel disease outbreak occurring in several species of Arctic ice-associated seals."

THE FUKUSHIMA RADIATION HIT THE ICE ONLY 5 DAYS AFTER THAT PLANT BLEW.
DID WOODS HOLE NOT KNOW THIS?
CANADIAN SCIENTISTS DID REPORT IT, SO DOESN'T WOODS HOLE READ?

IT TOOK LESS THAN 3 MONTHS FOR THE SEALS TO SHOW SYMPTOMS OF RADIATION SICKNESS, ACKNOWLEDGED BY EVEN THE DOUBTERS, THE DENIERS.
I MEAN, ONE LOOK AT THOSE SKIN LESIONS, THOSE EYES...

THE "FIRST STRIKE" HIT THEM 5 DAYS AFTER THE TSUNAMI, AND THEY WERE SICK IN UNDER 3 MONTHS.

WHAT ABOUT THE ONES WHO HAVE BEEN SWIMMING IN THAT HELL EVER SINCE, EATING OUT OF IT, BREATHING ABOVE IT, INHALING THE PARTICLES IN THE AIR ABOVE THEM?

IN 2013, 2 YEARS AFTER THE "DISASTER" IN JAPAN:

24th October 2013, 15:49   

This is a school 50 kilometers northeast of Tokyo, in a city called Moriya. A local citizens' group recently carried out examinations on 85 children under the age of 18 and found out that 58 of them, or 70 percent had radioactive cesium in their urine samples. 

The kind of cesium detected is a fission product formed in nuclear power plants.
Members of the group say there's a high chance the cesium entered the children's bodies after eating food contaminated with radioactive material.

 HOW MANY STORIES HAVE WE READ ABOUT THYROID CANCER IN JAPANESE CHILDREN IN 2012? 2013? 2014? 2015? 
BIRTH DEFECTS AS WELL...LEUKEMIAS...SKIN LESIONS?  

HOW MANY MORE WILL WE READ, FROM JAPAN AND THE REST OF THE WORLD, ABOUT THE HEALTH OF KIDS (AND ADULTS) AFFECTED BY THE "JAPANESE DISASTER"?

 

GO TO THE BUESSELER WEBSITE,  

 OurRadioactiveOcean.org   

DO YOU SEE ANY PROBLEMS THERE? 

DID IT EVEN LOAD FOR YOU?  
DID YOU LEARN ANYTHING FROM THE SPINNING ATOM?

UNDER "CURRENT RESULTS", JUST HOW CURRENT ARE THEY?

BUT THE CONSTANT "REASSURANCE" HE'S PAID TO DELIVER IS THERE...

"the levels of contamination remain well below government-established safety limits for human health or to marine life. Second, these long-lived radioisotopes will serve as markers for years to come for scientists studying ocean currents and mixing in coastal and offshore waters.."

"LONG-LIVED"...INDEED THERE ARE SOME VERY LONG-LIVED RADIOISOTOPES, BUT WOODS HOLE AND OTHERS JUST WANT TO TALK ABOUT CESIUM.
REPEAT THE LIES UNTIL PEOPLE ACCEPT THEM AS TRUTHS.
VERY OLD PROPAGANDA TACTIC.
WORKS ONLY IN SOCIETIES WHERE THE POPULATION NEVER QUESTIONS WHAT THEY'RE TOLD TO BELIEVE.


AND YET OLD KEN ASKS FOR FUNDING FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC.  

FOR WHAT?  

HALF-ASS  MEASUREMENTS HE NEVER DOCUMENTS WITH VIDEO EVIDENCE?  
SELECTED SPOTS ONLY BEING "TESTED"? 

TWO FACTORS DETERMINE IMPACT FROM RADIATION ON A GIVEN POPULATION:
(1) INCREASED MORTALITY.
(2) DECREASED BIRTH RATE.

"Different scientists look for a variety radiation risk factors, common responses to radiation in animals include chromosome or DNA damage, or increased stress resulting in various kinds of cell-level damage.

“Ultimately, unless it’s an endangered species, you have to relate it to the population,” Thomas Hinton said. “Is the population … of whatever you’re studying impacted by this radiation?

Traditionally, the two biggest factors that can impact population numbers is increased mortality or decreased birth rate.” 

IN REPORT AFTER REPORT, WE HAVE SEEN BOTH MASS DIE-OFFS AND DECREASED BIRTH RATES IN HUNDREDS OF MARINE SPECIES SINCE 2011. THE TEA ROOM HAS OFFERED HUNDREDS OF SUCH ARTICLES, STUDIES OVER THE YEARS SINCE THE FUKUSHIMA 'DISASTER' BEGAN.

ANOTHER WEBSITE THAT OFFERS LINKS TO MANY SUCH ARTICLES IS http://optimalprediction.com/wp/the-pacific-genocide/ .

INCREASED MORTALITY IN HUNDREDS OF SPECIES, DECREASED BIRTH RATES IN HUNDREDS OF SPECIES EQUALS WHAT?  

The study below shows that this has happened and is still happening.

From the website  http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0265931X1530031X  Journal of Environmental Radioactivity   Volume 148, October 2015, Pages 92–110: 

Highlights

• Significant transfer of particulate-bound radiocesium occurs during heavy rainfall.

• Radiocesium deposited in floodplains may be remobilized, inducing contamination.

• Transdisciplinary approach is required to quantify radiocesium transfers.

Abstract 

The devastating tsunami triggered by the Great East Japan Earthquake on March 11, 2011 inundated the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP) resulting in a loss of cooling and a series of explosions releasing the largest quantity of radioactive material into the atmosphere since the Chernobyl nuclear accident. Although 80% of the radionuclides from this accidental release were transported over the Pacific Ocean, 20% were deposited over Japanese coastal catchments that are subject to frequent typhoons. Among the radioisotopes released during the FDNPP accident, radiocesium (¹³⁴Cs and¹³⁷Cs) is considered the most serious current and future health risk for the local population.

The goal of this review is to synthesize research relevant to the transfer of FDNPP derived radiocesium from hillslopes to the Pacific Ocean. After radiocesium fallout deposition on vegetation and soils, the contamination may remain stored in forest canopies, in vegetative litter on the ground, or in the soil.

Once radiocesium contacts soil, it is quickly and almost irreversibly bound to fine soil particles.
The kinetic energy of raindrops instigates the displacement of soil particles, and their bound radiocesium, which may be mobilized and transported with overland flow.

Soil erosion is one of the main processes transferring particle-bound radiocesium from hillslopes through rivers and streams, and ultimately to the Pacific Ocean.

Accordingly this review will summarize results regarding the fundamental processes and dynamics that govern radiocesium transfer from hillslopes to the Pacific Ocean published in the literature within the first four years after the FDNPP accident.
The majority of radiocesium is reported to be transported in the particulate fraction, attached to fine particles.

Cesium-137 levels recorded off the coast of Japan in the Pacific Ocean WERE (PRIOR TO 3/11) among the planets lowest, measuring around 2 becquerels per cubic meter (1 becquerel/Bq equals one radioactive decay event per second) but are now reading at 60 million becquerels per cubic meter.   


This is said to be high enough to cause reproductive and health effects in marine animals."

New Zealanders warned about seafood, but not Americans?  
 

'Kiwis' exposed to radiation in seafood – study http://www.3news.co.nz/nznews/kiwis-exposed-to-radiation-in-seafood—study-2015081507#axzz3ipQ2JViV  

Saturday 15 Aug 2015  

"New Zealanders who eat a lot of seafood may be exposing themselves to radiation and putting their health at risk, a study suggests.

Researchers found seafood such as mussels, paua and oysters contained concentrated levels of radiation.

Those at particular risk were sub-populations for whom fish consumption was culturally important and those relying of fishing and shellfish collection to feed their families, the study’s authors said in an article released on Friday.

“Seafood has importance to the New Zealand population as a source of nutrition consumed in considerable amounts by some sectors of the community,” they said.  

“Chemical contaminants in seafood can therefore lead to significant health burdens to the population and it is an important public health function to identify the contaminants of concern and characterise their exposure.”

Researchers measured levels of radioactive caesium and polonium in 36 kinds of seafood. 

Levels of caesium were of minimal dietary concern, but levels of polonium could “contribute significantly to the dietary dose of ionising radiation for high seafood consumers, although the magnitude varies considerably depending on the composition of seafood species consumed,” the researchers said.

Radiation levels were higher in seafood than other foods, they said.

The study by Andrew Pearson, Sally Gaw, Nikolaus Hermanspahn and Chris Glover was published in the Journal of Environmental Radioactivity earlier this year.  

 

SEAFOOD WITH HIGHER CONCENTRATED RADIATION LEVELS:

• Slapjack tuna
• greenshell mussels
• paua
• queen scallop
• rock lobster
• Bluff oyster
• littleneck clams

 COME, LET US REASON...
IF HUMANS WHO EAT SEAFOOD ONCE OR TWICE, EVEN THREE TIMES A WEEK ARE WARNED...WHAT ABOUT MARINE ANIMALS WHO EAT IT EVERY DAY, SOME WHO EAT IT ALL DAY LONG?  

TUMORS, SKIN LESIONS, "MELTED" EYES, DAMAGED INTERNAL ORGANS, MUTATED SEXUAL ORGANS, CANCEROUS SKIN GROWTHS IN WALRUSES AND SEALS IN THE STUDY ABOVE, AND ADMITTED LEUKEMIA IN BABY SEALS...THE ONLY SPECIES WE HAVE SEEN REAL RESULTS FOR FROM THE AMERICAN WEST COAST.

 U.S. National Library of Medicine (emphasis added): Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a serious disorder in which the proteins that control blood clotting become overactive… Risk factors for DIC include: Blood transfusion reaction; Cancer, especially certain types of leukemia…


DIC “is a pathological process characterized by the widespread activation of the clotting cascade that results in the formation of blood clots in the small blood vessels throughout the body… and can ultimately lead to multiple organ damage… severe bleeding can occur from various sites.  

DIC does not occur by itself but only as a complicating factor from another underlying condition, usually in those with a critical illness… DIC can lead to multiorgan failure and widespread bleeding…

Causes — DIC can occur in the following conditions: Solid tumors and blood cancers (particularly acute promyelocytic leukemia)…

Physics and Radiobiology of Nuclear Medicine (Springer), Jun 29, 2013:

 Leukemia is one of the most common cancers induced by radiation in humans, accounting for one in five mortalities from radiocarcinogenesis. Risk of leukemia varies with age, with younger persons being more prone to radiocarcinogenesis…

Leukemia appears in as early as 2 to 3 years after the exposure, with an average latent period of 5 to 10 years.

LET'S THINK ABOUT THAT STATEMENT...
"LEUKEMIA CAN APPEAR AS EARLY AS 2 TO 3 YEARS..." ?

BUT THE BABY SEALS WHO DIED OF LEUKEMIA WERE NOT EVEN ONE YEAR OLD!
THEY WERE BORN IN THAT GLOW-IN-THE-DARK RADIOACTIVE SOUP AND LESS THAN A YEAR, LESS THAN EVEN 9 MONTHS LATER, AND IN LESS THAN 6 MONTHS FOR MANY, THEY WERE DEAD FROM LEUKEMIA!

SOMEONE NEEDS TO HAVE A BETTER LOOK AT HOW QUICKLY LEUKEMIA CAN DEVELOP IN PACIFIC OCEAN WATERS...AND ONSHORE!

EVEN THE D.O.E. ADMITS THAT THEY EXPECT CONTINUING RADIATION TO AFFECT MARINE LIFE:
 
 Department of Energy: Biological Monitoring at Amchitka Appears to Show Impacts from Fukushima Dai-ichi Incident 
" The U.S. Department of Energy Office Legacy Management (LM) has a long-term stewardship mission to protect human health and the environment from the legacy of underground nuclear testing conducted at Amchitka Island, Alaska, from 1965 to 1971. 

 Atmospheric monitoring in the United States showed elevated cesium activities shortly after the [Fukushima] nuclear incident. 


 LM scientists anticipate that the marine biota will show the impacts of Fukushima during the next sampling event, currently scheduled to occur in 2016."


WHY ARE NOAA AND WOODS HOLE IGNORING THESE STUDIES?  
WHY ARE THEY DOWNPLAYING THE GRAVE SITUATION WE FACE?   

WHY HAS THE EPA DISABLED MONITORS, FAILED TO REPAIR THE ONES THEY CLAIM ARE NONFUNCTIONAL?

MAYBE THEY SHOULD ALL TAKE A LONG SWIM IN THE PACIFIC, SAY FROM JAPAN TO THE OREGON COAST?  

MAYBE THEY SHOULD EAT PACIFIC TUNA EVERY DAY? 

IF CANCER WAS FOUND IN ANIMALS EXPOSED IN 2011 ON THE NORTHERN SEA ICE, WHAT ABOUT ALL THE MARINE ANIMALS THAT HAVE LIVED IN THAT "SOUP" EVER SINCE?

IF BABY SEALS BORN THIS YEAR ALSO DIED THIS YEAR FROM LEUKEMIA, WHAT ABOUT FUTURE GENERATIONS OF SEAL PUPS?

WHAT ABOUT US?

 

 _______________________________________
NOTES:

The Great Pacific Gyre

 

The network of currents comprise a larger hydrodynamic system known as North Pacific Gyre. Flotsam and jetsam from northeast Japan are moved along this path:

 

- The Liman or Oyashio (Parent Stream), a mineral-rich cold Arctic current that moves southwest from the Bering Strait past Kamchatka Peninsula and along Japan's northeast region of Tohoku. The water used to cool the Fukushima meltdown is dumped into the passing Liman, which carries the radioactive wastewater southward toward Choshi Point, east of Tokyo..

 

- The rocky outcrop at Choshi forces the Liman to swerve eastward, where it collides with the tropical Kuroshio Current moving northward. The interaction of these opposing currents is complicated.

 

The cold Liman is forced underneath the warm Black Tide, which explains why rockfish, abalone, sea urchins and other bottom dwellers have high readings of radioactivity.

 

    An analysis lab in Fukushima has reported 15,000 becquerels per kg, or six times the legally allowable content. (The studies, like all in Japan, use the controversial method of taking average readings from entire samples, instead of measuring hot spots that can be 5 times higher.)

 

- Along the boundaries of the two currents, gigantic eddies are spun off. The mixing of nutrient-rich cold water with the warm current spurs the genesis of marine life, spawning algae and the larvae of fish and invertebrates. The waters off eastern Japan form the world's richest fishery.

Of special importance in the food chain are squid, cuttlefish and others in the cephalopod family, which comprise the basic source of protein for fish.

 

- The merged Liman and Kuroshio become the North Pacific Current, pushing eastward to North America. Large predatory species, including tuna and salmon, feed here on the contaminated squid and on small fishes like herring and mackerel.

 

- When the North Pacific Current hits the continental shelf, it divides. One stream veers northward along the Canadian and Alaskan coast, and then swings counterclockwise toward the Bering Strait and Kamchatka Peninsula. These areas are the breeding grounds of seals, walruses, whales and sea otters. The region is also a major supplier of salmon and sea cucumbers for the Asian markets.

 

- The other stream turns clockwise to the south, becoming the California Current, the breeding waters of sea lions, pelicans and humpback whales. That southern stream eventually splits into two new currents: the Equatorial Pacific, which moves from Mexico to the Philippines, where it rejoins the Kuroshio; and the Peruvian, heading southward along the coast of South America and then westward into the South Pacific.

 
- The distance between northeast Japan and the Pacific Northwest is about 8,000 kilometers.

The Kuroshio-North Pacific Current normally makes the passage in about six to seven months. Heavier materials, such as timber, will move at about half that pace, but chemicals dissolved in the water have already started to reach the Pacific seaboard of North America, a reality being ignored by the U.S. and Canadian governments.

It is all-too easy for governments to downplay the threat.   

 

 

Radiation levels are difficult to detect in water, with readings often measuring 1/20th of the actual content.

Yet the fact remains that radioactive isotopes, including cesium, strontium, cobalt and plutonium, are present in sea water on a scale at least five times greater than the fallout over land in Japan.

 

According to a recent estimate by the France-based Institute for Radiological Protection and Nuclear Safety, radioactive sea-dumping from Fukushima is 30 times the amount stated by the Tokyo Electric Power Company.

 

The total amount leaked into the sea is closer to 27 quadrillion becquerels.

A quadrillion is 1,000 trillion.

 

That does not include airborne isotopes that have fallen into the Pacific.

 

Unlike those stories about arsenic, a tiny dose every day of cesium will not make one immune from its toxic effect.
   

Mega-scale fluid dynamics show that the Fukushima nuclear disaster will soon contaminate most of the vital fisheries of the Pacific, which comprises half of the world's sea surface.

 

Over the 30-year half-life of cesium, radioactive isotopes will be recycled a dozen times or more.   
NATURALLY, IN TIME, EVERYTHING  will move into the Atlantic and Indian Oceans.

 

If some evil genius, a modern-day Captain Nemo, were to plan the extermination of life on Earth, there could hardly be a better spot for hatching this nefarious plot than Fukushima.

 VERY, VERY DAMNING:

However, it is simply NOT TRUE that radiation from Fukushima was never detected in Alaska [PRIOR TO THE WOODS HOLE REPORT EARLIER THIS YEAR] , as evident from testimony made by Lisa Jackson, former EPA Administrator:

Administrator Lisa P. Jackson, (2011). Testimony Before the U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works and Subcommittee on Clean Air and Nuclear Safety http://yosemite.epa.gov/opa/admpress.nsf/d0cf6618525a9efb85257359003fb69d/16cf19b9b7f7014a85257870006dd410!

OpenDocument Release Date: 04/12/2011
… Air samples obtained through the EPA's RadNet system have, to date, contained very small amounts of iodine, cesium, and tellurium, which are consistent with possible releases from the damaged Japanese reactors.

The largest amounts were found in samples from Alaska on March 19 and 24, 2011, but all of the radiation levels detected during the detailed filter analysis are hundreds of times below levels of concern.

Although Lisa Jackson promised that the levels would pose no risks, her account does not incorporate ramifications of four years of ongoing ocean contamination coupled with processes of bioaccumulation that concentrate the low levels of radionuclides found in water and soil at higher levels in flora and fauna.

Radiation contamination was detected in Alaskan life in 2011.

Cesium-134 from Fukushima was indeed detected in Alaskan islands Amchitka and Adak, as noted in the 2013 Biological Monitoring Report, which discusses data collected in 2011:

Amchitka Island, Alaska, Biological Monitoring Report, 2011 Sampling Results U.S. Department of Energy. Doc. No. S08833

 September 2013. Page x  :

The concentrations of 134Cs in samples [ of reindeer lichen and soil ] collected from Amchitka and Adak indicate that atmospheric transport of airborne contamination from the Fukushima Dai-ichi event may have contributed to the levels detected.
