During the nuclear catastrophe at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power
plant in Japan’s northeast last March, the world watched in horror as
conditions in the plant deteriorated by the day. Despite public
reassurances that the situation was under control, we now know that
three of the plant’s reactors actually began meltdown within hours and
that plans were being made at the highest levels of the Japanese
government to evacuate Tokyo, the world’s most populous metropolitan
area.
In effect, the world was given a crash course in cascading nuclear
failure. What many do not know is that the damaged reactors were
designed by General Electric, rely on 40-year-old containment
technology, and are substantially similar to 32 reactors currently
operating around the world, including 23 in the United States.
This is our EyeOpener Report by James Corbett, presenting you with
the history of and GE’s role in development of boiling water reactors
and the Mark 1 containment vessel system used in the damaged Fukushima
reactor which has been focus of fierce criticism for at least 40 years,
and the criminal complicity of government regulators in failing to
enforce their own policies and regulations on these aging reactors, not
only in Japan, but in the US as well.
Indeed, instead of doing much to try to protect their citizens from Fukushima, Japan, the U.S. and the EU all just raised the radiation levels they deem “safe”.
Nuclear expert Arnie Gundersen says
that high-level friends in the State Department told him that Hillary
Clinton signed a pact with her counterpart in Japan agreeing that the
U.S. will continue buying seafood from Japan, despite that food not being tested for radioactive materials.

As I’ve pointed out since day one, the Japanese government and Tepco
have covered up the extent of the radiation released by Fukushima and
its health effects on the Japanese and others. See this and this.
The government inspectors declared Onami’s rice safe for consumption after testing just two of its 154 rice farms.
Then … more than a dozen [farmers] found unsafe levels of cesium.
An ensuing panic forced the Japanese government to intervene, with
promises to test more than 25,000 rice farms in eastern Fukushima
Prefecture, where the plant is located.
***
The repeated failures have done more than raise concerns that some
Japanese may have been exposed to unsafe levels of radiation in their
food, as regrettable as that is. They have also had a corrosive effect
on public confidence in the food-monitoring efforts, with a growing
segment of the public and even many experts coming to believe that officials have understated or even covered up the true extent of the public health risk in order to limit both the economic damage and the size of potential compensation payments.
Critics say … the government can no longer pull the wool over the public’s eyes, as they contend it has done routinely in the past.
“Since the accident, the government has tried to continue its
business-as-usual approach of understating the severity of the accident
and insisting that it knows best,” said Mitsuhiro Fukao, an economics
professor at Keio University in Tokyo who has written about the loss of
trust in government. “But the people are learning from the blogs,
Twitter and Facebook that the government’s food-monitoring system is
simply not credible.”

Tonight on Corbett Report Radio we talk to Ted Walter of OccupyBuilding7.org, the latest idea from the Remember Building 7 campaign
for raising awareness about WTC7, the third skyscraper to fall on
9/11. We also talk to Jamie Owens, an Australian living in Japan
about the Fukushima crisis and why he continues to live in the country
in the wake of the nuclear meltdowns.

A leading Japanese journalist recently
made two incredible claims about the Fukushima power plant that suffered
a nuclear meltdown in March 2011, sending shockwaves around the world.
First, the former editor of a national newspaper in Japan says the U.S.
and Israel knew Fukushima had weapons-grade uranium and plutonium that
were exposed to the atmosphere after a massive tsunami wave hit the
reactor. Second, he contends that Israeli intelligence sabotaged the
reactor in retaliation for Japan’s support of an independent Palestinian
state.
According to Yoishi Shimatsu, a former editor of Japan Times Weekly,
these nuclear materials were shipped to the plant in 2007 on the orders
of Dick Cheney and George W. Bush, with the connivance of Israeli Prime
Minister Ehud Olmert. The shipment was in the form of warhead cores
secretly removed from the U.S. nuclear warheads facility BWXT Plantex
near Amarillo, Texas. While acting as the middleman, Israel transported
warheads from the port of Houston, and in the process kept the best ones
while giving the Japanese older warhead cores that had to be further
enriched at Fukushima.
