Japanese govt finally admits radiation leak serious enough to kill...

[retro]

The boss of the company behind the devastated Japanese nuclear reactor today broke down in tears - as his country finally acknowledged the radiation spewing from the over-heating reactors and fuel rods was enough to kill some citizens

Japan's Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency admitted that the disaster was a level 5, which is classified as a crisis causing 'several radiation deaths' by the UN International Atomic Energy.

Considering the msm is known to not give all the facts, one has to wonder........

imod, finland, 18/3/2011 17:33 Oh, of course not. Perhaps you need to look up how many coal related deaths there are a year, how many people die because of oil, and how many ways of creating water power (dams, barrages, etc) damage the environment, even wiping out species. Nope, no adverse effects at all. NO way of creating power is entirely without risk, and statistically nuclear is still one of the safest, despite the dangers. as i said think about what does the less damage,

We know there's radiation, but up until now they've assured us that there wasn't any danger from it.

I think it's always best to be honest from the start. I juz feel sorry for the people who had been exposed unnecessarily and how they must feel in anticipation for the radiation's potential harm on them

I am hoping that this would be a lesson to all Nuclear Agencies & Government of the world not to cover up accidents/failings in nuclear plants- no matter how small.

This is going to be a long term mess...damaged crop lands..maybe even contaminated water tables..ghost cities...the radiation just doesnt go away

I stand by my previous comments.
