Fukushima could poison the planet for the next 1,000 years

Radiation levels inside of a damaged nuclear reactor at the Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear power plant have reached alarming heights. Recent readings from nuclear reactor 2 indicate that the radiation inside is hundreds of times higher now than ever before — six years after the fateful nuclear catastrophe in 2011. Tokyo Electric Power (TEPCO) the facility’s operator, […]

Fukushima: Radiation now reported in West Coast Tuna

The environmental disaster that was caused by the Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear power plant accident continues to persist, even today. While the mainstream media continues to push the belief that everything is just fine and dandy — this simply isn’t the whole truth. Migratory fish, specifically bluefin tuna and albacore tuna, have tested positive for two radioactive […]

Fukushima catastrophe continues to worsen after six years of ongoing meltdowns

The “unimaginable” levels of radiation at the Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear power plant have been widely reported on; in early February 2017, Tokyo Electric Power (Tepco) reported that the radiation levels inside reactor 2 had reached a devastating 530 sieverts per hour. Just a mere five sieverts is enough to be lethal in a matter of months, […]
