Rice inspections to be expanded in Fukushima www3.nhk.or.jpby lillymunster 11/28/2011 8:46:49 PM- @MaryW I hope he does. I have seen more of the established independent journalists taking notice of these "rumors" of illnesses. There was a tweet this morning that the Japan Medical Assoc has numbers showing increases in leukemia. need to find themby lillymunster 11/28/2011 8:48:06 PM
- @Edano, would you have any access to JMA information network or similar system that would have their health statistics data? www.med.or.jpby lillymunster 11/28/2011 8:51:17 PM
I am assuming, medical information is also considered confidential in Japan as in the US. Perhaps that is why we are not getting a whole lot of news on this. It'll have to be up to the individual to come forward with his illness' signs and symptoms.by MaryW 11/28/2011 8:52:53 PM- @MaryW I am looking for generic anonymous data like we would get from the CDC where they might list how many cases of something happened but no personal data. Someone collects it for public health purposes. The JMA was mentioned in the tweet citing an increase in leukemia cases.by lillymunster 11/28/2011 8:54:17 PM

Nuclear Power Goes Rogue: Post-Fukushima, the market for nuclear power is changing latitudes. Here’s what’s at stake. As the full cost of the Fukushima nuclear accident continues to climb—Japanese officials now peg it at $64 billion or more—nuclear power’s future is literally headed south. Developed countries are slowing or shuttering their nuclear-power programs, while states to their south, in the world’s hotspots (think the Middle East and Far East), are pushing to build reactors of their own. Normally, this would lead to even more of a focus on nuclear safety and nonproliferation. Yet, given how nuclear-reactor sales have imploded in the world’s advanced economies, both these points have been trumped by nuclear supplier states’ desires to corner what reactor markets remain. www.thedailybeast.comby Majj 11/28/2011 9:38:38 PM- @lillymunster Wow. this link is !#%?!. I think this link could be a possible source for doing followup on radiation info on Japan victims. But I am unable to post it, its bewitched! All my opened windows locked up, then were closed. Back on line now...Could I email the link to you or somewhere?by MaryW 11/28/2011 9:42:27 PM
- I see Dean has his email above. I can forward it to him and he can forward it to here.by MaryW 11/28/2011 9:47:14 PM

- @Edano. If you have access to Japan health data. What is in question is leukemia statistics for Japan last year vs this year and if it can be broken down by region or prefecture.by lillymunster 11/28/2011 10:43:20 PM
- @lillymunster do u have a link ?by Edano 11/28/2011 10:44:08 PM
- @Edano to the tweet I saw or the JMA website?by lillymunster 11/28/2011 10:46:59 PM
- @lillymunster but jma is meteorological agency. www.jma.go.jpby Edano 11/28/2011 10:47:37 PM
- Japan Medical Assoc www.med.or.jpby lillymunster 11/28/2011 10:48:25 PM
- @lillymunster no statistics there.by Edano 11/28/2011 10:55:01 PM
- by Edano 11/28/2011 11:00:40 PM
- @Edano cool! It doesn't appear to have a break down further than malignant neoplasms. Is leukemia even technically classified as such?by lillymunster 11/28/2011 11:07:48 PM
- @lillymunster yes, malignant neoplasms.by Edano 11/28/2011 11:08:26 PM
- @Edano It goes up to June 11. Any idea on getting July-Oct? IIRC the tweet suggested it is more recent months they saw the increase. This spreadsheet is useful as it has annual data for comparison.by lillymunster 11/28/2011 11:09:59 PM
- @lillymunster searching here:now: www.jshem.or.jp The Japanese Society of Hematologyby Edano 11/28/2011 11:11:05 PM

Severely malformed babies have been killed in Japan.
Keiko Ichikawa, the author of "A Letter from Fukushima", says why we hardly see malformed children in Japan and what will possibily happen hereafter, in the symposium on the accident of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant held in Odawara on 21st Aug 2011. www.youtube.comby Edano 11/28/2011 11:30:42 PM- we have heard before that there are less birth in fukushima since the disaster ....by Edano 11/28/2011 11:33:09 PM
- Is this from the symposium in Hiroshima or a different one?by lillymunster 11/28/2011 11:34:43 PM
- In truth on the effects of the Fukushima radiation from a clinical statistical standpoint will most likely come from US and other countries medical reporting. Not from Japan sources.by MaryW 11/28/2011 11:36:33 PM
- @MaryW The health agencies and medical association are who would track that data. Luckily the general health data comes out of a different source and not the Fukushima "health" research
programby lillymunster 11/28/2011 11:38:22 PM - The news release letter I emailed to Dean is an example that verifies US health agencies are preforming studies.
by MaryW 11/28/2011 11:38:49 PM - Does or can a government control release of its population's health data? I don't know, but I am sure govby MaryW 11/28/2011 11:40:29 PM
- old news:
The government has discovered thousands of cases of workers at nuclear power plants outside Fukushima Prefecture suffering from internal exposure to radiation after they visited the prefecture, the head of the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency said. [...]
The revelation has prompted local municipalities in Fukushima to consider checking residents’ internal exposure to radiation.
Nobuaki Terasaka, head of the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency, told the House of Representatives Budget Committee on May 16 that there were a total of 4,956 cases of workers suffering from internal exposure to radiation at nuclear power plants in the country excluding the Fukushima No. 1 Nuclear Power Plant, and 4,766 of them involved workers originally from Fukushima who had visited the prefecture after the nuclear crisis. [...]
But as of May 16, only about 1,400 workers have gone through checkups — roughly 20 percent of the total number of workers. And only 40 of the workers have had their test results confirmed.

It was mistakenly claimed he lived in the 30km zone previously. ex-skf.blogspot.comby lillymunster 11/28/2011 11:44:02 PM
- @MaryW I think it would be harder to do so. The medical assoc even less so since they are a professional org not a govt agencyby lillymunster 11/28/2011 11:45:58 PM
- @MaryW The DOE has had a team in Japan documenting various things.by lillymunster 11/28/2011 11:46:46 PM
@lillymunster if you find a barrier like this, i can check in dccdn.de
by Edano via Dccdn.de 11/28/2011 11:54:30 PM- i could not find any more cancer stats for japan.by Edano 11/28/2011 11:55:11 PM
