    This submission concerns the violation of the human rights of the children of Fukushima
    Prefecture, Japan. These children have been continually exposed to radioactive contamination
    since 11 March 2011, the start of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident, and
    urgent measures are needed to reduce this exposure.

  • @RadioGuy yes, looks much better ! they really made a good chronology and chain of evidence. very impressing.

  • it is not fair to compare it to chernobyl, but it seems to me that the former soviet government did their utmost to protect their people no matter of economic consequences, while govj only does the absolute minimum for their people.

  • @Peter Good idea "free radical" for search term. There is just little history of radioprotection in traditional medicine or conventional medicine. It's pretty nuts.

  • Sunlight-Exposed Biofilm Microbial Communities Are Naturally Resistant to Chernobyl Ionizing-Radiation Levels Environments enduring extreme desiccation and UV radiation, such as sunlight exposed biofilms could in principle select for organisms highly resistant to ionizing radiation as well. Conclusions/Significance

    Our results show that biofilm microbial communities in the most irradiated samples are comparable to non-irradiated samples in terms of general diversity patterns, despite increased mutation levels at the single-OTU level. Therefore, biofilm communities growing in sunlight exposed substrates are capable of coping with increased mutation rates and appear pre-adapted to levels of ionizing radiation in Chernobyl due to their natural adaptation to periodical desiccation and ambient UV radiation. www.plosone.org

  • Bioinspired catecholic chemistry for surface modification [good review paper] Catechols and their derived compounds can self-assemble on various inorganic and organic materials, including noble metals, metals, metal oxides, mica, silica, ceramics and even polymers. It opens a new route to the modification of various substrates and the preparation of functional composite materials by simple chemistry. However, there is still not a full review so far about the attachment chemistry despite the dramatically increasing number of publications. This critical review describes the state-of-the-art research in the area: the design and synthesis of catecholic molecules, their adsorption mechanisms and the stability of assemblies in solution, and their applications etc. Some perspectives on future development are raised (195 references). pubs.rsc.org [used for solar cells, but I wonder if this could be applied to bioremediation of ionizing radioactive materials.]

  • @elainekirk Are those links related to the Japan Green action petition? I have been popping in and out all day and wasn't sure I was tracking what was going on, lots of distractions today.
    by lillymunster 9/4/2011 11:24:51 PM

  • @elaine No, those links are my own search results. Just some random recent papers that might be useful to someone or to you folks. I honestly think Japan will figure this out and become a world leader in bioremediation of radioactive contaminated areas. They know how to grow fungi.

  • 70% of prefectures baffled on nuclear drill

    An NHK survey shows about 70 percent of Japanese prefectures with nuclear power plants cannot hold nuclear accident disaster drills this fiscal year or are undecided about doing so.

    NHK asked 13 prefectures whether they will hold the drills in fiscal 2011, which ends in March.

    In the past the prefectures have conducted annual drills in areas up to 10 kilometers away from nuclear plants in line with government anti-disaster guidelines. The drills were designed to evacuate nearby residents and have the organizations concerned coordinate the process.

    But evacuation zones put in place after the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant in March have far exceeded those previously planned by the government.

    Three prefectures -- Aomori, Fukushima and Ibaraki -- said they are unable to hold drills this fiscal year. Six prefectures, including Hokkaido and Fukui, said they are undecided about doing so.

    They explained that without new government accident guidelines, they cannot plan drills or set evacuation areas.

    The remaining 4 prefectures, including Ehime and Saga, said they will hold drills by the end of March by establishing temporary guidelines and by expanding evacuation zones on their own.

    The Nuclear Safety Commission aims to review evacuation zones and other policies by the end of October.

  • @Cryptococcus lol it must be confusing sorry :)

  • @lillymunster I'm, cleaning up the links in that doc and making it into a linked-HTML doc with refrences at the bottom chronologically.

    Since it's nto that new a document, I'm not quite sure what to do with it, so I'll leave it there for now.

  • Wild Mushroom in Fukushima Tested 28,000 Becquerels/kg of Radioactive Cesium
    ex-skf.blogspot.com
    "It's not food any more, it's simply radioactive materials", as the young man at the Citizen's Radioactivity Measuring Station in Fukushima City said of the radioactive mushroom in Germany's ZDF program aired on August 9.

    Wild mushroom harvested in a town in Fukushima tested highest ever radioactive cesium so far in food after the Fukushima I Nuke Plant accident that I'm aware of: 28,000 becquerels per kilogram.

    According to the data from Fukushima Prefecture, 13,000 becquerels/kg of cesium-134, and 15,000 becquerels/kg of cesium-137 were detected from the mushroom.

    The town, Tanakura-machi, is located at about 73 kilometers southwest of Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant.

    they really bring #3 in "cold shutdown". massive temperature AND water level drop. i don't understand how that fits together.
