Saturday – As progress is made at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, in reactivating cooling systems the discovery of small amounts of radioactivity food and water, which was discovered in milk and spinach near the power plant, raises new worries. It could potentially be in fish as well.

Thursday – Mr. Jaczko’s from the US Team – “We believe that radiation levels are extremely high, which could possibly impact the ability to take corrective measures.” and also said that there was now little or no water in the pool storing spent nuclear fuel at the No. 4 reactor of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, leaving fuel rods stored there exposed and bleeding radiation into the atmosphere.

Wednesday – A fresh fire broke out at a reactor of Japan’s Fukushima No 1 nuclear power plant early today (same reactor as yesterday), smoke was pouring from the roof of the number-four reactor at the plant, as per an operator of Tokyo Electric Power (TEPCO), which was confirmed by satellite images….

The remaining 50 workers were evacuated after radiation levels there have surged and allowed back in less than an hour later.

White fumes emerging from the plant may constitute radioactive steam that has breached Unit 3′s containment, as per Chief cabinet secretary Yukio Edano.

According to WikiLeaks Japan was warned more than two years ago that Japan’s nuclear power plants safety rules were not up to date and not capable of enduring powerful earthquakes by a Nuclear Watchdog group.

Tuesday – Japan Nuclear Catastrophe now worse than 3 Mile Island:

Japan Nuclear Catastrophe now worse than 3 Mile Island. Classified as a level 6 out of a 7 – Chernobyl being a 7 (Ukraine 1986) -With two reactors exploding despite efforts to cool them. Three Mile Island (Pennsylvania 1979) was rated a level 5 by comparison.

“We are clearly in a catastrophe.” says ASN president Andre-Claude Lacoste.

On Three Mile Island, thick concrete armor around the reactor called the containment shell, did it’s job and held the radiation leak . The Chernobyl reactor had no shell and was also operational when the disaster struck. The Japanese reactors automatically shut down when the quake hit.

Prime Minister Naoto Kan said radiation had spread from four reactors.

Potassium iodide pills were being distributed as a precaution against radiation over-exposure.

A Missionary family just made contact with a local church and sent out this message: …”Because of the danger of radiation contamination, sensors are in place every 20 km from the site.  As of about 1 hour ago, a sensor 100 km south of the Fukushima site registered 100X normal radiation.  So radiation is leaking, but a normal X-Ray exposes you to 1000X normal radiation (although briefly)…”  They’re approx 200km from the nuclear plant. 100x’s is more than the 40x’s the media reported.

There is thought that Japan radioactivity could enter food chain, and kids could be put at risk; as radiation travels on moisture droplets in the air and lands as dew – the cows eat the dew and kids drink the milk.

Lee Tin-lap, toxicologist and associate professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong’s School of Medical Sciences, said “Steam that is released into the air will eventually get back into the water and sea life will be affected … once there is rain, drinking water will also be contaminated. No one is measuring the levels of radiation in the sea” .

If this so happens to be the beginning of things to come approaching 2012 …. God help us.
