TOKYO CHILDREN'S PARK RADIOACTIVE, CLOSED

PLEASE NOTE THAT THOSE YOUNG MEN ARE NOT EVEN WEARING SIMPLE MASKS NOR OTHER PROTECTIVE GEAR. 

A TOKYO PARK FOR CHILDREN WAS CLOSED YESTERDAY (APRIL 23, 2015) DUE TO RADIATION LEVELS 2,000 TIMES WHAT IS CURRENTLY ALLOWED BY JAPAN
BEFORE CLOSING AN AREA FOR MANDATORY SOIL REMOVAL AND CLEANUP.

"Soil underneath a slide at the park in the north-west of the Japanese capital showed radiation readings of up to 480 microsieverts per hour, the local administrative office said.
Anyone directly exposed to this level would absorb in two hours the maximum dose of radiation Japan recommends in a year."
OF COURSE OFFICIALS DENY THIS IS RELATED TO THE FUKUSHIMA FALLOUT...
BUT JUST LAST SEPTEMBER, THEY DID ADMIT THE TOKYO AREA WAS HIT BY TWO WAVES OF HIGH-LEVEL FALLOUT!
Mainichi Daily News, Sept. 5, 2014 (emphasis added): 
"Radioactive plumes spread cesium a week after Fukushima disaster — A second wave of radioactive material from the Fukushima No. 1 Nuclear Power Plant disaster spread over the Tohoku and Kanto regions… analysis of radiation readings [by the Nuclear Regulation Authority and the Ministry of Environment] has found…. It was already known… “radioactive plumes” had spread on March 15 and 16., but {there were] similar radiation readings for March 20 and 21… Ministry of the Environment used data from constant monitoring devices used to measure… air pollution [with] filter paper that catches airborne particles… Rain did not fall on March 20 and 21… thought to be the reason why the second radioactive plume was not noticed until now
In the Kanto region, two belts of high-concentration radiation were registered — one on March 15 and one on March 21.
HOWEVER, THERE MAY BE A FURTHER LINK TO FUKUSHIMA AT THE PARK... 
"The park was built in 2013, two years after the Fukushima nuclear crisis, a local official said, on what was previously a parking lot for Tokyo's sanitation department."  
ONE OF THE BIGGEST OUTCRIES AGAINST JAPAN SINCE THE DAI'ICHI PLANT AT FUKUSHIMA HAD THREE MASSIVE EXPLOSIONS AFTER THE EARTHQUAKE AND TSUNAMI IN 2011 IS THAT JAPAN HAS COLLECTED WASTE FROM THE PLANT SITE AND SURROUNDING VILLAGES AND BURIED OR BURNED IT AT SANITATION SITES ALL OVER JAPAN. 
NUCLEAR EXPERTS AND WATCHDOG GROUPS HAVE DEMANDED JAPAN STOP BURNING ANY CONTAMINATED DEBRIS FRO THE ACCIDENT BUT WORKERS STILL REPORT THAT SUCH IS COMMONLY DONE. 
IT IS THE LEAST EXPENSIVE MEANS OF DISPOSAL.

Posted September 25, 2014 under Health & Disease, Nuclear.
"All 23 districts of Tokyo contaminated with radiation, worse than at Chernobyl after the accident, and blood cells of children under ten are showing worrying changes; the WHO, the IAEA & the Japanese government cannot be trusted." 
Dr Shigeru Mita wrote a letter to his fellow doctors to explain his decision to move his practice from Tokyo to Okayama city in the West of Japan.  
Mita claims that all 23 districts of Tokyo are contaminated, with the eastern area worst affected — up to 4 000 Bq/kg of measured radioactive contamination. 
Mita conducts thyroid ultrasound tests for parents who are concerned about the health of their children, but he is now concerned about the results of another test on children under 10, the differential white blood cell count. 
While practising in Tokyo, Mita also discovered disturbing changes in the white blood cells of children under 10. 
He found a decline in neutrophils in children under 10, children from areas that are not considered to be highly contaminated or even contaminated at all. His patients come from Northern Kanto, the area around Tokyo and including Tokyo itself.  
 Mita says that the radioactive contamination of Tokyo is increasing because of the Japanese government’s policy of transporting radioactive waste from the Fukushima zone all over Japan for incineration or burial. The Japanese government and the nuclear authorities claimed that filters on the stacks of the incineration plants would remove most of the radioactivity, but this is not the case, and in the opinion of many, it is adding to the contamination. 
His statements confirmed findings in 2012, when an independent team picked up five random soil samples in Tokyo from between paving stones, in parks and playgrounds. The levels of contamination were up to 7 000 Bq/kg; 
in the US, anything registering these levels would be considered nuclear waste.  
Japan raised allowable levels for radiation after Fukushima!
T"he Japanese people are faced with a government whose response to the dangers of the radiation was to increase the acceptable limit from 1 mSv/year to 20 mSv/year and who are now encouraging people to move back into areas that had previously been evacuated. (The millisievert is a unit of radiation dose. Before the Fukushima accident, Japan, like the rest of the world, respected the limit of 1 mSv/year recommended by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP)."
U.S. AND WORLD NEWS
SEPTEMBER 19, 2011
"Naoto Kan, prime minister of Japan at the beginning of the Fukushima nuclear crisis, has admitted that in the first ten days of the crisis "he contemplated evacuating as many as 30 million people from Tokyo and surrounding areas," Australia's ABC reported Monday.  --  He said he contemplated the chaos that would have accompanied a worst case scenario and "wasn't sure whether Japan could continue to function as a state."  --  One of the worst-case scenarios he requested "said everyone residing within 200 to 250 km of the plant -- a zone that would encompass half to all of Tokyo and cut clear across Honshu to the Sea of Japan -- would have to be evacuated," the Japan Times said on Monday.  
--  EDITORIAL COMMENT:  We have been unable to find any U.S. news source reporting this story...."
AND DARE WE WONDER WHY THE U.S. DID NOT REPORT IT IN BIG HEADLINES? 

A UNION OF CONCERNED JAPANESE SCIENTISTS AND PHYSICIANS HAVE REPORTED TIME AND TIME AGAIN ABOUT DANGEROUSLY HIGH , "UNALLOWABLE" READINGS ALL OVER TOKYO, IN FOOD, WATER AND SOIL...FOR 4 YEARS NOW! 

THE U.S. MAINSTREAM MEDIA ALMOST ALWAYS IGNORED THEM, AND IGNORE THE PLEAS OF MOTHERS ONLINE FROM ALL OVER JAPAN BEGGING ANYONE TO HELP THEM GET THEIR CHILDREN OUT OF HARM'S WAY. 

FUKUSHIMA DIARY ONLINE HAS CARRIED MANY OF THOSE PLEASE, AS WELL AS INDEPENDENT RADIATION TESTING THAT SHOWS LIFE-THREATENING READINGS OF HIGH RADIATION THERE EVERY DAY.

CHILDREN ARE TOLD NOT TO TOUCH THE METAL PARTS ON PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT ALL OVER JAPAN, AS I SHOWED BEFORE, BECAUSE OF HIGH RADIATION ACCUMULATED THERE, AND MANY OF THOSE WHO GO BAREFOOT NEAR DAI'ICHI'S PLANT OFTEN HAVE BLEEDING LESIONS AND PEELING SKIN ON THE SOLES OF THEIR FEET, ALSO AS I SHOWED PREVIOUSLY, BUT THE JAPANESE GOVERNMENT WON'T EVEN PROVIDE ENOUGH DOSIMETERS SO ALL CHILDREN CAN KNOW HOW MUCH RADIATION THEY ARE ABSORBING! 

KEEPING JAPAN HAPPY AND TRADING WITH AMERICA SEEMS MORE IMPORTANT TO OUR OFFICIALS THAN THE HEALTH AND LIVES OF AMERICAN OR JAPANESE CITIZENS...AND THAT IS A DIRTY ROTTEN SHAME! 

JAPANESE OFFICIALS VALUE HOSTING THE OLYMPICS OVER SAVING LIVES OF CHILDREN IN TOKYO.
THAT IS CRIMINAL!
