日本国民のとりわけ幼児児童特に女児の未来、日本の未来、国益に関わる深刻な事実-福島県民特に児童幼児及び日本国民米国西海岸市民にまで知らされる権利のある重大な事実。
福島第一原発、福島原発事故からの放射性物質の放出はまだ終わっていない。
東電はきちんとそのことを発表しているし、また、多くの数値がその影響はまだまだ福島と日本全土に及んでいることを多くの日本の科学者がきちんと調査し発表している。
がそのことをきちんと発表できる報道機関はなぜか少ない。
国の基本、日本国民市民の人権健康に深くかかわるつまり国益にかかわる事項であるのに、
報道機関が報道できないのはなぜなのか？
日本の報道機関で報道できたのは（したのは）日本共産党の党機関紙赤旗と朝日新聞英字版だけであるという事実は、日本国民市民が自らの命健康あるいは子供たちの健康甲状腺がんからの予防策を自ら行うためには、日本共産党機関紙赤旗を読むか、英語を真剣にまじめに生き抜くために死ぬ気で勉強するしかないということになる。不思議と、原発利権につながると思われる原理や統一教会が反米反共をその餌にギャング行為詐欺行為を政治に見逃させるという空気を長く温存させていることとその対策は対をなしているようにも思う。
こうなってくると、反米原理組織に親米原理組織に反米、反日本共産党、といわれたら、おかしいぞと思ったほうがいいかもしれない。
なぜなら、人権保障に貢献し世界の軍縮核軍縮国際協調紛争回避の先頭を進むアメリカと対立する根拠が人権保障との観点からいってない。
また人権保障のための政策に極めて熱心で勝紛争回避と国際協調軍縮反暴力反差別で経済政策にもつよくかつ領土問題にもきわめて見識地検のある日本共産党は以前から申し上げているように日本人がもっと自分たちの人権保障生活の質向上に活用すべき政党といえる。資本主義の国だらけの欧州でも長く国粋民族原理ナチス、暴力的略奪至上主義原理の「正当化」に最も強かったのが多くの国の反暴力反差別を標榜し実践する共産主義政党であった事実もあって昔から国粋民族至上主義でない共産主義政党や社会主義政党が政権に加わることは普通にあること。事実イタリアフランスドイツなど欧州資本主義経済大国の人権政策をよりよいものにするために政権に加わって活躍活動することは資本主義国であっても普通のことである。
また、よく労働争議との観点で語られることの多い日本共産党の労働基本権保障生活権保障のための非暴力平和的言論や運動は世界で当然に認められている人権保障の一環であり、欧州の資本主義国のみならず米国においても労働権闘争によるストライキが当然の基本的人権として認められていることからも当然のことで、要するに共産主義資本主義の国であっても人権保障のために政策があり政党がある、ということの基本的枠組みは国際社会の当然必須の基本的枠組みである。そして、共産主義といっても、日本共産党のように人権保障と平和国際協調紛争回避のための多くの合理的人道的政策案をもつ政党を政策競争に特定の政党を除外することは人権保障にとって合理性がないだけでなく、国民の人権福祉経済そして根本的な国益に反するからだ。事実第二次世界大戦にまともに反対した政党は日本共産党だけ。そして現在の社民党の一部経済財閥や企業とともに日本国民が開戦に反対していれば、国際連盟脱退に反対していれば、日本の姿と国際的地位は違っていたことを考えても、日本共産党の反暴力反差別国民の生活と福祉のために税金を使う政策合理性は日本国民が大切に活用する点日本経済人権保障国益に大きくかなう面を多く持つ（日米安保についてのより積極的に国際協調平和的軍縮的自然災害時自然エネルギー食糧水などでの協力への活用政策・日米安保によるテロ国家紛争（国内外）牽制による日本の軍事産業縮小ゼロを実現しさらに進め国家紛争を軍事頼らないアジア太平洋地域を作ってきた（いく）功績などを勘案してもらえばもっと嬉しいにしても）。
さて、というわけで、情報はしんぶん赤旗や朝日新聞はじめ各新聞の英字版は絶対に見逃せない。
また、世界各紙をまんべんなく目を通すと情報を早く多面的に理解できるようになる。もちろん英字新聞だからすべてがまともというわけではないが、読む新聞が多ければ、より自分の考えや論理的分析演繹性を新聞各紙の視点と比べつつ、客観的論理的に人権紛争回避公平性の合理性をもって検証できる蓋然性広がる。
AP、BBC、Telegraph, ABC, PBS, CNN
とはいえ、まずは情報に溺れず自分の考えを自分の頭で構成ししっかり持つことが必要だ（といって「自分の頭で考える方法」などと原理や統一教会に洗脳されず、きちんと自説を普段から論理的にもち、かつ、できるだけひろく英字日本語新聞にあたり情報をきちんと論理的に検討し分析することだ）。

「福島第１ 毎時1000万ベクレルを放出・・原子炉建屋から大気に
東京電力は6月25日、福島第１原発（福島県大熊町、双葉町）1～３号機の原子炉建屋から大気に放出されている放射性セシウムの量を１時間当たり１０００万ベクレルとみられると発表しました。各原子炉建屋の開□部などで測定した値をもとに推定したもので、この値は前月と同じでした。この放出によって、同原発敷地境界に１年間いた場合の追加被ばく線量は0・02ミリシーベルトになるとしています。
また、２号機原子炉圧力容器の温度計の故障が相次いでいるなか、東電は外部から温度計を挿入する計画をしていますが、第２候補として考えていたジェットポンプの配管を使った挿入は模擬試験の結果困難であることがわかったと発表しました。第１候補のホウ酸水を注入する配管から挿入する方法について引き続き準備を進めるとともに、そのほかの候補についても検討を進めていると述べました。」

"Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plantradiationdecommissioningcontaminated waterTEPCO"By TAKASHI SUGIMOTO/ Staff Writer, Asahishinbunn, July 24, 2012.
"A little more than 500 days after the accident at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant threatened to force the evacuation of the entire Tokyo metropolitan area, the situation is certainly much improved.
The levels of cesium being emitted from the damaged reactors have dropped substantially, core temperatures in the pressure vessels are being kept within targeted levels, and the plant operator has started removing unused nuclear fuel assemblies as an experiment.
However, workers still must overcome a number of issues to make progress toward decommissioning the reactors at the plant, such as dealing with leaking contaminated cooling water, determining the state of the pressure vessels and removing melted nuclear fuel from the reactor cores.
RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS
According to calculations by Tokyo Electric Power Co., the operator of the Fukushima No. 1 plant, a total of about 10 million becquerels per hour of radioactive cesium was being emitted from the No. 1 to No. 3 reactors as of June. That is about one-80 millionths of the level that was being spewed immediately after the accident. Achieving a state of cold shutdown has meant a decrease in the volume of cesium emitted from the reactors.
Calculating the additional radiation exposure caused by radioactive materials that accumulated on the ground after being emitted from the No. 1 to No. 3 reactors, the combined external and internal radiation exposure level at the main gate of the plant facility about one kilometer from the nuclear plant was 0.02 millisievert over the course of a year. That was considerably below the 1-millisievert level that was used as a goal in determining if a state of cold shutdown had been achieved.
However, since February, the level of radiation emitted from the reactors has remained unchanged.
"There is the possibility that the cesium that fell on the reactor buildings was stirred up again," said Junichi Matsumoto, acting general director of TEPCO's Nuclear Power and Plant Siting Division.
The most radiation is being emitted from the No. 2 reactor, which is releasing 8 million becquerels an hour. The radiation is believed to be leaking from a hole that was made in the wall of the top floor of the reactor building.
STATE OF THE REACTOR CORES
Meltdowns occurred in the reactor pressure vessels of the No. 1 to No. 3 reactors.
According to an analysis by TEPCO, almost all of the melted fuel in the No. 1 reactor has fallen to the bottom of the containment vessel after pouring through the bottom of the pressure vessel. Some of the fuel is also believed to have dropped to the bottom of the containment vessel in the No. 2 and No. 3 reactors.
After TEPCO declared last December that a state of cold shutdown had been achieved, it established new safety standards that called for maintaining core temperatures at 80 degrees or less. Because the temperature of the water being pumped into the pressure vessel to cool the nuclear fuel has gone up since summer, the temperature within the pressure vessel has risen slightly to between 35 and 55 degrees. For that reason, equipment was installed from July to cool the water before it is pumped in.
At the same time, TEPCO workers are still unable to accurately grasp what the situation is within the pressure vessels. Due to the high temperature and high humidity, cables connected to the thermometers are on the verge of breaking. Half of the 36 thermometers on the pressure vessel of the No. 2 reactor are not displaying accurate temperatures. TEPCO workers are considering the possibility of inserting thermometers directly into the pressure vessel.
PROCESSING WATER CONTAMINATED WITH RADIATION
Cooling water continues to leak from parts damaged by the accident in the pressure vessels and containment vessels of the No. 1 to No. 3 reactors. Water that has been contaminated with radiation from the melted fuel continues to accumulate in the basements of the reactor buildings and neighboring turbine buildings. The total volume of that contaminated water, including that which has accumulated in nearby buildings, has reached 100,000 tons.
Initial plans called for processing all contaminated water by the end of last year. However, several hundreds of tons of groundwater a day is flowing into the buildings and even though about 160,000 tons have been processed, or more than double the initial plan, the processing work is still not complete.
Because groundwater continues to leak into the buildings, TEPCO has increased the capacity of the tanks to hold the processed water to a total of 228,000 tons. Plans also call for pumping out groundwater in order to lower the water level.
DECOMMISSIONING WORK
The central government and TEPCO have begun work toward decommissioning the reactors.
The first step will be removing nuclear fuel from the storage pools because that fuel will be easier to remove than the melted fuel in the reactor cores of the No. 1 to No. 3 reactors.
The first nuclear fuel will be removed from the No. 4 reactor pool. Not only does that pool have the most fuel, equivalent to what would be used in three to four reactors, but because part of the wall and column of the reactor building was destroyed by a hydrogen explosion, there are concerns about its anti-quake strength.
In response, TEPCO has reinforced the bottom of the pool against quakes.
"It can withstand a quake of the same level as that of the Great East Japan Earthquake," said TEPCO President Naomi Hirose.
However, Ikko Nakatsuka, a Cabinet Office senior vice minister who inspected the No. 4 reactor, touched upon concerns raised by local residents.
"While I sufficiently felt the efforts made by everyone involved to bring the accident under control, that has not yet led to a restoration of trust," he said at a meeting in May.
On July 18 and 19, TEPCO removed two unused nuclear fuel assemblies as an experiment. If no damage or corrosion is found on the nuclear fuel, full-fledged efforts to remove the fuel will begin in December 2013.
The biggest issue will be removing the fuel that has melted. Plans call for beginning that work from 2021 after all fuel has been removed from the storage pools at the No. 1 to No. 4 reactors.
However, no decision has yet been made on what specific steps will be taken because not only will that work be unprecedented, but the work will also have to be done in an environment of high radiation levels.-cited from "Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plantradiationdecommissioningcontaminated water TEPCO(By TAKASHI SUGIMOTO/ Asahi shinbunn Staff Writer, July 24, 2012, Asahi Shinbunn English version)"

Radioactive river mud threatens lakes, Tokyo Bay By TAKASHI SUGIMOTO/Asahishinbunn Staff Writercited from Asahi shinbun English version: July 05, 2012.
"Lakes across eastern Japan are being contaminated with radioactive cesium from the crippled Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant, and scientists are warning of a growing problem in Tokyo Bay.
Radioactive mud carried down rivers is slowly accumulating in the lakes, in some cases making fish and shellfish dangerous to eat.
In March, a maximum cesium concentration of 9,550 becquerels per kilogram was detected in mud on the bottom of the Bizengawa river, 1.65 kilometers from where it flows into Japan’s second-largest lake, Lake Kasumigaura in Ibaraki Prefecture.
A month later, the highest reading was 800 meters closer to the lake and had increased to 9,980 becquerels per kilogram.
Hiroshi Iijima, who heads the Asaza Fund nonprofit organization, which conducted the surveys, has asked the central and prefectural governments to put cesium-absorbing zeolites in the lake and set up a temporary dam to stop the mud flowing from the river.
Ibaraki Prefecture is known for producing the largest eel catch in Japan. In May, the central government suspended shipments of eels caught in Kasumigaura and other locations in Ibaraki Prefecture after cesium levels exceeding the government standard of 100 becquerels per kilogram for food were detected.
In fiscal 2011, cesium levels over 100 becquerels per kilogram were found in fish and shellfish caught in the lake in eight of 71 surveys. The frequency increased to 28 of 87 surveys in the current fiscal year.
The prefectural government on April 1 asked fishermen to refrain from shipping three other fish from two rivers and other locations due to high levels of cesium.
Since April, cesium levels over 100 becquerels per kilogram have also been found in fish and shellfish in Lake Numazawako, Lake Inawashiroko and Lake Akimotoko in Fukushima Prefecture, Hinuma marsh in Ibaraki Prefecture, Teganuma marsh in Chiba Prefecture and Lake Chuzenjiko in Tochigi Prefecture.
“Despite decontamination work, radioactivity could remain in lakes as long as cesium flows in,” an Environment Ministry official said. “While giving priority to decontamination efforts on land, we want to find out to what extent radioactive materials will move to fish through the rivers.”
Scientists say freshwater fish tend to retain ingested cesium longer than their saltwater counterparts. They do not discharge as much of the material due to low osmotic pressure between their bodies and surrounding waters.
The Environment Ministry found higher cesium concentrations in fish and water insects in lakes and rivers than sea life in a survey in Fukushima Prefecture from December to February.
The highest level was 2,600 becquerels per kilogram in a type of rhinogobius in Manogawa river north of the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant. The concentrations in most saltwater fish were below 100 becquerels.
Meanwhile, Yosuke Yamashiki, an associate professor of environmental engineering at Kyoto University, estimates that cesium concentrations at the bottom of Tokyo Bay will peak in 2014 and then remain roughly stable through 2021.
His modeling predicts that levels will rise to 300-500 becquerels per kilogram of sand at the bottom of the bay near the mouths of Edogawa and Arakawa rivers in March 2014. Those rivers flow through areas with relatively high radiation levels.
Hotspots with cesium levels of 4,000 becquerels per kilogram are possible, Yamashiki said.
“Even if no impact of radiation has yet to be found on fish and shellfish, we cannot tell what will happen in the future,” he said. “We need to begin to prevent contamination immediately by reducing the amount of sand flowing into the bay.”
Sand containing cesium tends to accumulate in Tokyo Bay because it has a relatively narrow opening to the Pacific Ocean.
Yamashiki simulated sand and mud movements in Tokyo Bay and rivers flowing into the bay since March 2011 and used cesium concentrations in soil measured by the government to produce his estimates.(By TAKASHI SUGIMOTO/ Asahishinbunn Staff Writer)"
