What are kids eating nowadays that are making them so sick?  Fukushima fallout casts a dark shadow over the nuclear power despite their most misguided protestations.  Find out how to change the conversation in our favor, step-by-step:

STEP 1 EDUCATE & SAFEGUARD

In Japan post-Fukushima, 100 bequerels per kg (a becquerel is an atomic disintegration per second) is considered ‘safe’ even though it’s much higher than it’s standard used to be.  You know what that ‘safe’ level is in the U.S.?  Get ready to be scared: https://miningawareness.wordpress.com/2015/01/09/dumping-radioactive-food-from-japan-on-the-world-why-the-tpp-is-a-pending-disaster/

STEP 2 EVACUATE #FUKUSHIMA NOW

Fukushima Diary always has loads of info about what’s going on the ground at Fukushima Daiichi.  This week there’s a double-whammy of info you need to keep in mind.

STEP 3 CONTROL & CONTAIN

When former NRC chief and now NRA head in Japan Dale Klein puts out a video to admonish TEPCO for their poor safety and at the same time, cheerlead for the nuclear power industry, he ends up looking like an out of touch poser. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqLvDrUyS-I#t=34

STEP 4 NUCLEAR POWER IS OVER

Tennessee Senator Lamar Alexander (R) put out a very irresponsible statement recently that we need to double down on nuclear and build 100 NEW plants in the U.S. as soon as possible.  Let’s put a stop to his insanity. http://www.chattanoogan.com/2015/2/5/293491/Alexander-Discusses-Agenda-For.aspx
