Japan Radioactive Iodine Releases May Exceed Three Mile Island By 100,000 Times

The French radiation protection authority, Institut de Radioprotection et de Sûreté Nucléaire (IRSN), estimates the radioactive releases of iodine-131 in Japan had reached about 2.4 million curies by March 22, 2011. That is about 160,000 times the best estimate of the amount released during the TMI accident in Pennsylvania (15 curies) and about 140,000 times the maximum estimate of 17 curies.

Don't believe them. Believe the MSM and governments that are telling us that radiation is now "not harmful".

I'd like to know why Japan isn't testing their food BEFORE it leaves their country for radiation.
Why are other countries now testing Japanese imports for radiation ? Shouldn't this be stopped BEFORE it leaves Japan's shores ?

And just where did that radioactive water go to make the tap water now "safe" ?



Japan's government criticizes nuke plant operator - Yahoo! News (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110326/ap_on_bi_ge/as_japan_earthquake - broken link)

"Radiation has been seeping from the plant since the magnitude-9 earthquake and tsunami struck more than two weeks ago. Since then, it has made its way into milk, seawater and 11 kinds of vegetables, including broccoli, cauliflower and turnips.
Tap water in several areas of Japan, including Tokyo, has shown higher-than-normal levels of radiation. In the capital, readings were at one point two times higher than the government safety limit for infants, who are particularly vulnerable to radioactive iodine.
But levels have fallen steadily since peaking Wednesday, and Tokyo metropolitan officials said Saturday that tap water was safe for babies to drink."
