The info in this article is almost over a month old. I wonder if this is why Fry's supermarket sent out flyers to households 2 days ago stating that now their milk can be stored for a longer amount of time because they have switched to a local dairy for all Phoenix stores. |

To make matters worse those contamination levels of radiation do not even include Caesium or other radioactive isotopes which were not even reported in the Arizona tests. An anonymous tip points me to Phoenix Arizona Japan Nuclear Radiation tests for radioactive Iodine-131 has been detected in milks samples at levels up to 1600% above federal EPA drinking water standards. These are the highest known levels of nuclear fallout in tests to date for Iodine radiation in any milk samples. more......

User ID: 1361277 Australia 04/30/2011 07:44 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Petition Petition Deadline April 30! Citizens will be meeting with the Japanese government on Monday May 2, and will submit the signatures gathered. We will report back the results to you on this blog. Please tell us where you are from, as we are looking for the support of the international community. Thanks for your interest and participation! We the undersigned ask you to join us in signing our petition, to be presented to the Japanese Government. Petition [Emergency Statement and Demands] We urgently demand the withdrawal of the Japanese Government’s inhumane decision to force 20mSv per year radiation exposure onto children. On April 19th, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) notified the Board of Education and related institutions in Fukushima Prefecture the level of 20 millisieverts per year (mSv/y) as a Radiation Safety Standard for schools in Fukushima Prefecture. This is the standard to be used for school grounds and buildings. The Government has indicated that 20mSv/y is equivalent to 3.8 microSv per hour measured outdoors. 3.8 microSv/h is roughly 6 times [the 0.6 microSv/h] of “Radiation Controlled Areas” (0.6 microSv/h or more). The Labour Standards Act prohibits those under the age of 18 from working under these conditions. Forcing children to be exposed to such radiation doses is an exceedingly inhumane decision. Therefore, we condemn this in the strongest terms. 20 mSv/y is comparable to the [legally] recognized dose for inducing leukemia in nuclear power plant workers. It is also comparable to the maximum dose allowed for nuclear power plant workers in Germany. In addition, this 20mSv standard [for Japanese children] does not take into account the fact children have higher sensitivity to radiation than adults, nor does it take into account any internal radiation exposure. Currently, according to the radiation monitoring conducted at elementary and middle schools within Fukushima Prefecture, more than 75% of these schools have contamination levels comparable to “Radiation Controlled Areas” (0.6 microSv/h or more). Further, roughly 20% of the schools fall within “Individual Exposure Controlled Areas” (2.3 microSv/h or more) and are in an extremely dangerous situation. The level set by the Japanese Government at this time amounts to coercion of this dangerous situation upon children, and, can interfere with voluntary measures by schools to minimize exposure. MEXT states that 20mSv/y is based on the recommendation Pub.109 by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) as well as on the reference levels in the band of 1 to 20 mSv/y as “Post Emergency Situation” Standards from the ICRP statement released on March 21st. The latter means MEXT has adopted the maximum level. As of April 21st, there has been no substantive information disclosure by the Japanese Government on the decision-making process for establishing these standards. Moreover, no explanation has been given concerning why the Government has neither taken the sensitivity of children into consideration nor internal radiation exposure into account. The contents of the consultation held between MEXT and the Nuclear Safety Commission (NSC) are not disclosed, and the situation remains extremely opaque. We demand the following of the Japanese Government: - Retraction of the “20mSv/y” standard for children. - Disclosure of the names of experts, who deemed “20mSv/y” for children to be safe. Note: At the governmental negotiation held on April 21st, it became evident that the Nuclear Safety Commission (NSC) concluded the 20mSv/y standard for children as “Permissible” without undertaking any formal consultation. Moreover, on April 22nd, the Commission reported to the office of Mizuho FUKUSHIMA, member of the Japanese Diet, House of Councillors that no minutes (records) exist of the 5 Nuclear Safety Commission members’ deliberation leading to the 20mSv/year standard. Today is the deadline.. go here and scroll to bottom of article, fill in name, email address and state, country and send.. you can elect to not have your name viewed.. please do this..

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1340576it is true that actual radiation intensity drops off as the square of the distance. and that is why, as a general rule (barring having a cobalt-60 gamma source in your pocket) radioactive contamination is only a serious hazard when ingested into the body (that's because the radiation emissions can then get up-close and personal with your tissue cells). But, the EPA has yet to hold a press conference to inform the American people of precisely what radioactive isotopes are in which of our foods, and and in what quantities, and what the precise levels of any of these specific radioactive isotopes have to be in order to present a significant risk to our health. This is all very simple and strait-forward information, that the EPA already has, but the EPA obviously is refusing to apprise the American people as to the true and simple facts. each of the county health departments in this country could very easily collect this data, based on EPA standards, for their specific county regions, and publish the information weekly (through their own laboratories). why don't they do it? i don't know. |

Quoting: whiterussianIf you guys can't give up MILK in a nuclear emergency, there is NO HOPE for you. I did find an alternate...the mexican grocery near me is selling mexican milk, however it is packaged in Pasadena at the Safeway plant. I bought 2 gallons for baking and shit. ___________________ I dont know what to think of that. Other than that no other milk will ever see my fridge again. |
