Japanese Nuclear Emergency Director: You Have NO Right to a Radiation-Free Life - Polidicks

[QUOTE] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVuGwc9dlhQ[/media] This footage, from a recent meeting of indignant Japanese citizens and feckless Japanese government types should be a little shocking. Sadly, it's just more of the same—ineptitude and inaction. By [URL="http://boingboing.net/2011/07/25/japanese-gov-unsure-of-fukushima-citizens-right-to-live-radiation-free-lives-video.html"]denying the right[/URL] to avoiding radiation? OK, shocking.The Tokyo meeting was meant to broach the push to expand the evacuation zone around Fukushima—a zone that's proven inadequately and dangerously narrow. One Fukushima resident asks, "As other people do, people in Fukushima have the right to avoid the radiation exposure and live a healthy life, too. Don't you think so?" A Nuclear Safety Commission Of Japan rep, when pushed to go beyond his canned non-answer, deadpans "I don't know if they have that right." The crowd reacts as you would expect when told they nuclear-threatened welfare isn't a concern. After being jeered at by the understandably outraged audience, and ignoring requests to test the radioactive content of young residents' urine, the government panel packed up and left. If you could compress the past four months' anxiety, tension, crisis, inaction, confusion, and stifled anger into one meeting room, you'd produce the above, this smoldering radioactive diamond of national failure.

they never said they did not.. they just did not comment. Still, immature of them.

To be honest, you can move to another place that isn't Fukushima. However, that statement is basically political suicide, what a fucking tool.

What is the dosage rate to people living outside the evacuation zone? If it's extremely high, they have a valid, and extremely urgent point. If it's slightly above the normal background rate, then Japan has other, more pressing issues to deal with.

Article [quote]"I don't know if they have that right."[/quote] Thread title [quote] "You Have NO Right to a Radiation-Free Life"[/quote] Radiation-free life is impossible.

[QUOTE=Laferio;31335184]Article Thread title Radiation-free life is impossible.[/QUOTE] I understand that, Back round radiation, gonna add that to the OP to be clear.

[QUOTE=Laferio;31335184]Article Thread title Radiation-free life is impossible.[/QUOTE] But the section is called sensationalist headlines so it's ok to make a shitty news thread title!!!

[QUOTE=Laferio;31335184]Article Thread title Radiation-free life is impossible.[/QUOTE] Can't be taking everything completely literal can we? One thing is the highly low amount from food, other living beings, water and the Sun, another thing is a deadly dose of aerial caesium or cobalt.

[QUOTE=Kendra;31335255]Can't be taking everything completely literal can we? One thing is the highly low amount from food, other living beings, water and the Sun, another thing is a deadly dose of aerial caesium or cobalt.[/QUOTE] Which is why a radiation-free life is impossible. What the fuck didn't you read.

This source is biased as fuck against the Japanese and the thread title is just plain wrong.

Holy shit you guys are missing the mark and being completely literal about it. It's a thread title, anyone who has an ounce of brain left would know about backround radiation. These are my people too and I'm pretty horrified that they cannot even do the necessary actions to aid the residents. This is becoming like Katrina here in the US.

[QUOTE=Kendra;31335084]To be honest, you can move to another place that isn't Fukushima.[/QUOTE] Not everyone can afford to move. When the government makes evacuation mandatory though, there is almost always some financial support for that

People get more radiation from the sun, we need to make a giant mirror to reflect it away thus cooling the earth.

[QUOTE=Laferio;31335313]Which is why a radiation-free life is impossible. What the fuck didn't you read.[/QUOTE] What the fuck don't you understand? We practically live radiation-free because the amount we get is extremely small, to practically call it radiation-free is right. I'm sure you've said the room is empty once. Well, guess again. It isn't. The entire room is filled with atoms and bosons.

To be fair, a bit exclusion zone is pretty difficult to manage in Japan. That country is about the most real estate-challenged place on the planet. They can't really spare the land area for a big enough buffer zone. At this point I think the best they can manage is to contain the leakage at the plant and just...deal with it. Japan was the worst place this could have happened.

[QUOTE=Used Car Salesman;31345494]Japan was the worst place this could have happened.[/QUOTE]And where exactly is the best place this could have happened? :v:

I read director as dictator :v:

[QUOTE=POLOPOZOZO;31345933]And where exactly is the best place this could have happened? :v:[/QUOTE] Desert

[QUOTE=commander204;31346732]Desert[/QUOTE] I'd want some of that sand/glass.

Basically they're saying "Well... we don't really want to move all those people" Utterly shocking footage. I really felt for those people there. SOMEBODY isn't going to get re-elected, that's for sure.

Probably some gold translation/deciphering of jap speech forms right there.

So are there any estimates of how much they were hit with?

This year alone I might have been exposed to a lot of radiation. We had like three experiments involving Beta and gamma waves this year alone and I spent some nice quality time with a coablt isotope. Then there was the visit to my sister's place of work where a mildly radioactive spill of a carbon isotope occured. I'm fine. More than fine in fact. There is also this study that says mice that are exposed to regular or slightly higher than regular does of radiation lived longer than mice that did not get any radiation or a very minute fraction of regular radiation

[QUOTE=commander204;31346732]Desert[/QUOTE]Lol we Murkans already did that, from what I can tell we released more radiation than was even possible with Fukushima over the span of decades sooo...

[QUOTE=POLOPOZOZO;31366948]Lol we Murkans already did that, from what I can tell we released more radiation than was even possible with Fukushima over the span of decades sooo...[/QUOTE] No, we didn't have a plant meltdown in the desert. We tested atom bombs in the desert. There's a difference.
