In an interview with the Huffington Post, Nuclear Engineer Akira
Tokuhiro, says most of the plutonium mox fuel nuclear fallout from the
Fukushima nuclear power plant will likely drop on the United States.
Throughout the article the engineer slams other nuclear experts for
covering up the true extent of the Fukushima nuclear disaster for the
sake of saving their own jobs, clearly saying the bottom line is they
can not be trusted.
The article begins by distinguishing between the types of nuclear
“experts” the press is using to commentary on the Fukushima disaster.
In an email today, Japanese born, U.S.-educated
nuclear engineering professor Tokuhiro wrote the following:
Besides that fact the broken system left us all unprotected; the
confusion, apprehension and fear witnessed as people try to wade through
the incomplete and inaccurate data online is evidenced by an exchange on
the UC Berkely website over this RadNet graph:
The graph shows that this monitoring station was
one of the units actually running on 3/11 . The readings were
significantly higher prior to 3/11 and drop to a much lower
level afterwards. This is an indication that the units were
running in an uncalibrated condition and were adjusted only
after the events at Fukushima.
Still, even the rigged data shows that the
levels of uranium and plutonium in the US are at higher concentrations
than what they have been in over 20 years.
Plutonium and Uranium Detected in the U.S.: The Highest Density
in the Last 20 Years! California, Alaska, Hawaii, and Guam
Plutonium and Uranium have been detected in abnormal density
measuring from the end of March to the beginning of April in Guam,
Hawaii, and the US west coast, according to my close examination on
the
RadNet database of the United States Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA). This proves that Plutonium and Uranium, some of the
most toxic materials, had dispersed from the Fukushima Diichi
Nuclear Plant (and it also means that these materials have
contaminated the ocean). While the government, mainstream media,
TEPCO (Tokyo Electric Power Company), and biased academia in Japan
have closed their mouth tight about this fact (By the way, the US
government also provides very limited information of radioactive
substance in the
main pages of the website that most of the people visit), it has
already been spreading among net users, both ordinary people and
specialists, by making it impossible to conceal the truth from us
any more.
On this blog, I checked on concentration of the radioactive
substance in the air detected by air-filter in California, Alaska,
Hawaii, and Guam, where Plutonium and Uranium were detected (there
is
information that Plutonium was also detected in Washington State
and Saipan, but I excluded these two areas here). I also want to
note that most of the places had observations only up to three times
since March 11, 2011, and somehow there has not been any report on
the nuclear substance observation since the beginning of April (this
has been criticized in the US). The following charts are made based
on the EPA data.
* I encourage you to retrieve the data by going to the
EPA RadNet database so you can confirm our argument is accurate.
The result comes out when you select “Air Filter”, “CA (state name)”
and “Plutonium-239 (nuclide name),” for instance, and then click the
“Search Database” button below. Results are also downloadable.
Please note the differences of the units being used in the database.
Data after March 11, 2011 are described in a unit of pCi/m3, not in
a unit of aCi/m3 that you will see in data prior to March 11, 2011.
I am strongly hoping that many people will check and verify the data
as I am not a specialist in the nuclear field.
1pCi : 1,000,000aCi
1pCi : 0.037Bq
1km3 : 1,000,000,000m3
aCi/m3 : Atto-Curie per cubic meter
Bq/km3 : Becquerel per cubic kilometer
Pu : Plutonium
U : Uranium
Chronological Graph on Concentration in the Air [aCi/m3]
Plutonium 239 in California (past 20 years)
Uranium 234 in Alaska (past 20 years)
Uranium 238 in Hawaii (past 20 years)
Average Density in Air Before and After 3.11 [Bq/km3]
Compared with the average density of the past 20 years from 1991
to February 2011, Plutonium 239 in California 18 times, Uranium 238
in Alaska 17 times, Uranium 234 in Hawaii 30 times, and Uranium 238
in also Hawaii 50 times were detected all after March 11, 2011.
Also, in Guam, Plutonium 239, Uranium 234, 235 and 238 have been
detected for the first time in the history of the observation.
So-called “half-life” of each material is this: Plutonium 239 for
24,000 years, Uranium 234 for 240,000 years, Uranium 235 for 700
million years, and Uranium 238 for 4.47 billion years. As you could
see easily, these isotopes have almost endless life spans from human
perspective. Both Plutonium and Uranium are extremely toxic
radioactive substances that omit strong alpha-ray radiation.
There are two reasons why I conclude that these radioactive
materials came from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Plant. First, in
the past 20 years, such sudden increase of radioactive materials, as
indicated in the above graphs, has never been seen before March 11,
2011. Second, these regions where increased amount of Plutonium and
Uranium were detected, are all closer to Japan. They are Guam,
Hawaii, Alaska and California. Especially in Guam and Hawaii, the
increases are even bigger than other States. For example, if you
compare the numbers after the 3.11 between California
(8700km=5400miles from Japan) and Guam (2500km=1550miles from
Japan), Guam has detected 78 times higher Plutonium 239, 6 times
higher Uranium 234, 16 times higher Uranium 235, and 13 times higher
Uranium 238, than California. Plutonium and Uranium have yet not
been detected along the East Coast (Maine, Massachusetts, New York,
Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, etc.). Therefore,
these two points of abnormal increase in radioactive materials and
the locations of where these are detected can strongly indicate that
this has been caused by the crippled Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear
Plant.
Conclusion: Some of the most brutal radioactive materials,
Plutonium and Uranium, have been spread in the air from the
Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Plant.

With the absolute media blackout on the Fukushima radiation here in
the United States, we can only speculate how how the plutonium levels
here in the US will jump with most of Fukushima plutonium fallout
falling on the United States.
