According
to Natural News, Ernest Moniz, U.S. Secretary of Energy, made a
speech in Tokyo on October 31st, stating that the success of cleanup around the
Fukushima plant, including the shutdown of reactors, has global significance
and that the "US has a direct interest in seeing the next steps are done
efficiently and safely."
On
November 1st, he reported his visit to the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power
Station. "It is stunning that one can see firsthand the destructive force
of the tsunami even more than two and a half years after the tragic
events."
He
continues, "TEPCO President Hirose, and his dedicated staff face a
daunting task in the cleanup and decommissioning of Fukushima Daiichi, one that
will take decades and is being carried out under very challenging
conditions."
However,
the situation in the USA is different. The EPA keeps the situation quiet by
raising the allowable limits for radioactive particles in new guidelines. In
fact, new protective action guides were signed by the president in 2013,
raising allowable limits of radioactive particles.
According
to Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER), the EPA's 2013
Protective Action Guides are lax on nuclear radiation standards. The new
standards give on-site authorities much greater "flexibility" in
setting aside established limits. The new limits allow long-term public
exposure to radiation in amounts as high as 2,000 millirems. According to PEER,
this lax limit has the capability to increase a cancer rate of 1 in 10,000
people to around 1 in 23 people exposed over a 30-year period. This dramatic
increase in the permissible radioactive levels in drinking water and soil
following "radiological incidents" is reason for concern.

In
Section 3.7, the EPA determines that the general public should be evacuated at
levels beginning at 1,000 mrems, yet further down, soil levels are found to be
safe at 2,000 mrems "for reentry of some displaced individuals." But
the question remains, will the EPA divulge the true scenario to the American
people?
