Fukushima Radioactive Contamination 4 Times Worse Already Than Chernobyl In a deeply concerning update, Dr. Conrad Miller reveals significant insights regarding the Fukushima disaster. Released in early April 2011, the video asserts that the level of radioactive ground contamination surrounding Fukushima is already four times greater than that seen during the Chernobyl disaster. This alarming finding underscores the ongoing risks associated with nuclear power accidents and management.

Key Highlights:​

1. Comparative Contamination Levels:
   • As per the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), ground contamination at Fukushima exceeds 2 million becquerels per square meter. This starkly contrasts with the approximately 555,000 becquerels per square meter documented in the Chernobyl exclusion zone—an area about 18.5 miles away from the plant.
   []Projected Health Impacts:
   • Citing a study by Martin Tondel conducted ten years after Chernobyl, Dr. Miller warns that every 100,000 becquerels per square meter correlates with an 11% increase in cancer incidence. With the contamination levels from Fukushima being twenty times greater, a staggering potential increase of 220% in cancer cases within a 25-mile radius is projected.
   []Additional Radioactive Elements Found:
   • The presence of plutonium and cerium in the vicinity raises further alarm. Even minute quantities of plutonium, one of the most toxic elements, have dire health implications, including lung cancer.
   []Yucca Mountain Controversy:
   • The discussion also touches upon the Yucca Mountain site in Nevada, proposed as a repository for high-level nuclear waste. Dr. Miller expresses concern over the geological instability of Yucca Mountain, highlighting the presence of 33 earthquake faults and prior occurrences of significant seismic activity, which pose serious risks for waste storage.
   []Long-Term Effects and the Human Cost:
   • Reflecting on the Chernobyl tragedy, Dr. Miller references studies indicating that nearly a million people have died prematurely due to its aftermath. He cautions that the same fate could befall those exposed to radiation from Fukushima if conditions remain unchecked.
2. Uncontrolled Release of Radiation:
   • The discussion of the Fujushima disaster includes dire warnings about contamination spreading beyond Japan, with increased levels of radioactivity detected in milk and water as far away as Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Washington state.
