Japanese officials couldn't (or wouldn't) answer the question when asked why it took 2 years to tell the public that radioactive water was pouring into the Pacific. The nuclear plant is also over an aquifer..how brilliant was that ?
There's nothing they can do. There is silence because there is no "fix".
They are going to try to freeze it now to contain it.
For 2 years there have been stories and reports on what's been happening.
Mutated fruits, vegetables and grains. Radiation is millions of times above acceptable levels.
They have over 1000 tanks holding radiated water and there is no end in sight because groundwater is seeping up and into the plant. It's that overflow that is pouring into the Pacific.
And we're all warned about the effects of radiation yet Japan has no reports of increased birth defects or cancer.
Biologists have seen mutated plants and animals but have not been able to get any funding to do further research.
Tuna caught off California have 10x the level of cesium than before the accident.
WHO says nothing is wrong.
Source on the mutated animals/plants? I'm not arguing, I'm genuinely curious.

Look up Chernobyl.

“At this current time in July of 2013, Fukushima is 80 to 100x more expansive and more intense — letting out about 100x more of the radiation of Chernobyl,” reports Dr. Simon Atkins Phoenix Rising Radio on a BlogTalkRadio interview.
“The problem with Fukushima is that it’s not only continuing for 865 days… I mean, let’s wrap our minds around that for a second — it has been leaking out radiation in increasing volumes for 865 days.”
Japan is a society that shuns whistleblowers
Why has TEPCO been able to cover up the truth about Fukushima for so long? Because Japan is a society of mass conformity. The idea of keeping your head down and not “rocking the boat” is deeply embedded in Japanese culture.
Japan is not a nation of “rugged individualism” but of conformist acquiescence.
As a result, whistleblowers are shunned, and there is immense peer pressure to defend the status quo… even when it’s a terrible lie. This culture of conformity at all costs is precisely what allows companies like TEPCO to continue operating extremely dangerous nuclear power plants with virtually no accountability.
Why the U.S. government plays along with the cover-up?
The U.S. government, of course, plays along with the charade because its own top weapons manufacturer — General Electric — designed and built the Fukushima Daiichi power plant in the first place. And the design decisions made by GE, such as storing spent fuel rods in large pools high above the ground, now look not just incompetent but downright idiotic. It turns out there was never any long-term plan to dispose of the spent fuel rods. The idea was to just let them build up over time until someone else inherited the problem…
Fukishima is not Chernobyl. I know there were mutations after Chernobyl, but I had not heard about any after Fukishima. I'll try finding it myself though, since I don't think HappyTexan is on right now.
I did read something about a ban on fishing in the ocean near the sight due to elevated radiation levels. There have also been reports of bluefin tuna that migrate from Japan to California being contaminated.

100% of the tuna caught off CA coast have high levels of cesium.
The amount is 10X what was previously recorded.
But still below the safe levels the government has declared.
gov't safe levels are random guesses and not static. They change with the wind.
