Thousands evacuate as Fukishima nuclear emergency is declared

[Peter Lemkin]

Since the company that owns the nuclear plant and the Japanese Govt. have been playing ostrich, Greenpeace has taken it upon themselves to do some radiation monitoring. They've just started. At one town NW of the nuclear plant and 50Km distant they found unsafe levels of Cesium [half-life of 30 years!], meaning that town likely should be evacuated [almost surely many others, as well] and they won't be safe to return to for many decades! A very sad scenario to an already suffering Japanese population! When the Japanese People realize how they are being lied to by silence over the nuclear plant, I hope they get angry....there is NO excuse for the playing down how dangerous the situation is and has been from the first day!
