VIDEO Fukushima introduces Strontium to Enviroment

[whoosh]

Japan has admitted the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster is on par with the one at Chernobyl. At the same time, Japan’s science and technology ministry reports strontium, a heavy radioactive metal that is a catalyst for leukemia, has been detected around the crippled reactors. In addition to leukemia, strontium causes cancers of the bone, nose, lung, and skin.
Other deadly radioactive elements released included iodine, cesium and plutonium. The alpha emitter plutonium is especially deadly. Plutonium 239 has a high half-life of around 24,000 years. Plutonium transforms into americium and enters the water table. It can contaminate a water supply for centuries. The half life of americium is 433 years.

Cesium has a tendency for adhesion to particulates in soil and sediment, making it less mobile than strontium.

Like calcium, strontium enters the human body through plant and animal products and is mainly deposited in teeth and bones. New blood is formed in the bone marrow. Leukemia is a cancer of the blood.

Strontium is much more mobile and soluble in water than cesium. Following the Chernobyl nuclear accident, strontium was detected in the ground. Experts believe that 80 percent of the strontium released by the stricken Chernobyl reactor entered the food cycle.

The corporate media is basically ignoring the news that strontium is now being introduced into the environment. This is part of a larger pattern by the media to play down what will certainly be the worst nuclear disaster in history.

Fukushima Introduces Deadly Strontium Into Environment

Fukushima Introduces Deadly Strontium Into Environment The ongoing repercussions of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster have become increasingly apparent, particularly regarding the release of harmful radioactive elements such as strontium. Japan has acknowledged that the crisis, paralleled only by Chernobyl, has severe implications for public health due to the presence of strontium, a known catalyst for leukemia and other cancers.

Harmful Effects of Strontium​

Strontium is not only dangerous because it can trigger leukemia, but it also contributes to cancers affecting bones, lungs, nose, and skin. High mobility and solubility in water make strontium a significant concern as it can enter the human body through the food cycle, primarily via plant and animal products. Once ingested, it accumulates in bones and teeth, posing increased risks over time. The toxic legacy of the Fukushima disaster is compounded by the presence of other radioactive substances like iodine, cesium, and plutonium. For example, plutonium-239 has a daunting half-life of approximately 24,000 years, suggesting long-term environmental and health hazards. Even more concerning, the transformation of plutonium into americium can lead to prolonged contamination of groundwater supplies.

Comparisons and Media Coverage​

Experts recall the Chernobyl accident, where around 80% of the released strontium entered the food chain. In light of these historical parallels, it’s alarming that mainstream media coverage of the ongoing Fukushima situation has been sparse and often dismissive. This trend reflects an ongoing narrative to minimize the perceived risks associated with nuclear disasters.

Call for Awareness and Discussion​

As we consider these developments, it is vital for our community to stay informed about nuclear safety and public health implications. With the 2024 timeline in mind, what actions should authorities and the public take to mitigate these risks? How can we ensure better transparency regarding nuclear safety? I invite everyone to share their thoughts on these pressing issues or any relevant experiences regarding nuclear safety protocols in your areas.
