Fukushima May Render Japan Uninhabitable - 6/9/11 In a poignant video from June 9, 2011, titled "Fukushima may render Japan Uninhabitable," alarming revelations surfaced regarding the Fukushima nuclear disaster. Experts in the film discuss the severe implications of a "melt-through" that had occurred at the site, indicating a grave situation potentially rendering parts of Japan uninhabitable due to increasing radiation levels. The video outlines critical findings from government reports, which noted that radiation levels exceeding national safety limits had been detected in areas surrounding the Fukushima plant. In particular, cities such as Dat and Minami Soma were highlighted, where cumulative exposure levels surpassed the government's set cap of 20 mSv per year. These findings led to increasing calls for evacuation among residents concerned for their health. Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), the operator of the Fukushima plant, was also discussed in depth. With the accumulation of approximately 500 tons of contaminated water each day, TEPCO detailed their plans to filter over 100,000 tons of this highly radioactive water. This involved utilizing advanced technologies to reduce the concentration of radioactive cesium, which has been a critical concern due to its potential health risks. One of the more pressing issues raised in the video was the detection of radioactive strontium in soil samples around Fukushima. Strontium-90, known to have a long half-life and the potential to accumulate in bones, raised alarms about long-term health impacts such as cancer among the population. This discussion also included international perspectives, with safety officials from various countries advocating for increased inspections at nuclear power facilities globally, reflecting a heightened awareness and need for disaster preparedness against natural calamities.
