Radiation estimates for No. 1 workers likely 20% too low: U.N.

Japantimes 2013/10/13
2013年10月13日東京で大きな原発反対デモが行われました。参加人数について朝日、東京新聞、主催者発表では4万人の規模です。警視庁からすると9500人だそうです。去年からそうですが、警察発表は実際の3分の1から5分の1になってしまうようです。で、もう一つの隠れた国家権力、国営放送(NHK)は相変わらず原発反対デモについて何も放送しないらしいです。「それはないでしょ、NHK!」(Jan Jan Blog)

去年の春の大飯原発再稼働反対デモが毎週行われたときもずっと、NHKを筆頭に読売、産経グループ等、真実・客観・公平を謳い文句にする大手マスメディアは「4万人規模のデモが行われている」という厳然たる事実を平気で見て見ぬ振りをしていました。(私は悔しくてBCCに報道してくれとメールを打ちましたよ。)これが日本の民主主義の真実です。本当にこの国は恥ずかしい国だと思います。とにかく大本営の意に従って「右向け右」。体質的に北朝鮮とまったく変わりがありません。アメリカでもヨーロッパでも知識のある人間はとっくに日本のその本性を知っていますね。日本の繁栄は日本国憲法とアメリカ経済に後押しされ得られただけの話です。正直言って民主主義の地盤もない、世界を渡る実力もない(英語も解らない)人間達が「憲法改正」だとか「アメリカに頼りたくない」と言ってもダメなのじゃないでしょうか?そういう人に限って本当の武力(腕力)に頼るしかなくなってしまう。

福島放射能汚染に関しても太平洋戦争の大本営発表と同じ事がなされているようです。体制側の不利は決して発表されない。で、国連からこんな指摘を受けるのです。これってちゃんとNHKや読売は報道したのかな?

Radiation estimates for No. 1 workers likely 20% too low: U.N.
KYODO OCT 13, 2013

NEW YORK – The radiation doses workers received in the initial phase of the Fukushima disaster may have underestimated by 20 percent, a report by a U.N. panel says.

The U.N. Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation said in a summary report on its website that the Japanese government and Tokyo Electric Power Co., known as Tepco, used tests that failed to take into account some types of radiation released by the three meltdowns at the Fukushima No. 1 power plant in March 2011.

The report said the committee analyzed the doses received by some 25,000 people working at the plant on or before October 2012, using data from Japan, Tepco and others to assess the amount of substances discharged during the crisis after the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami.

It also noted that workers were tested for radioactive iodine absorbed by their thyroid glands after a significant delay, with no account taken of “the potential contribution from intakes of shorter-lived isotopes of iodine, in particular iodine 133,” which have a short half-life of 20 hours.

It said that “as a result, the assessed doses from internal exposure could have been underestimated by about 20 percent.”

Increased exposure to such iodine is linked to increase risk of cancer and thyroid disorders.

If the estimates of the U.N. committee are accurate, more Fukushima plant workers will be eligible for free health checks from the government and Tepco, which says about 2,000 workers whose thyroids got doses of 100 millisieverts or more qualify for cervical ultrasound inspection.

The committee also said that, for the 12 workers estimated to have received 2 to 12 gray of thyroid exposure from iodine-131 alone, “an increased risk of developing thyroid cancer and other thyroid disorders can be inferred.”

Higher cancer risk is expected for more than 160 additional workers who received over 100 millisieverts from external exposure, but the incidence is expected to be “indiscernible,” it said.

The committee said that although the doses received by residents near the plant are low, continued research is needed to identify the full scope and expression of the differences in effects, mechanisms and risk from exposure to ionizing radiation for children and for adults.
