Data shows that radiation from the Fukushima disaster may be 10 x larger than all radiation from Nuclear testing combined:
Above-ground nuclear tests – which caused numerous cancers to the “downwinders” – were covered up by the American, French and other governments for decades. See this, this, this, this, this and this.
But the amount of radiation pumped out by Fukushima dwarfs the amount released by the nuclear tests.
As nuclear engineer and former nuclear executive Arnie Gundersen notes, the wave of radioactive cesium from Fukushima which is going to hit the West Coast of North America will be 10 times greaterthan from the nuclear tests (starting at 55:00).
This graphic from Woods Hole in Massachusetts – one of the world’s top ocean science institutions – shows how much more cesium was dumped into the sea off Japan from Fukushima as compared to nuclear testing and Chernobyl:
Governments and corporations are known to lie about such events, such as the BP Oil spill, in order to limit their liability. But have a look at another perspective offered by Dr. Steve Wing in this brief speech:
