Nuclear officials withheld Fukushima radiation maps

Japanese nuclear officials have apologised to Fukushima residents for withholding maps showing dangerous radiation areas after last year's meltdowns..........

But mayor Yuko Endo rejected the apology, saying it was too late.

He says if his village had been given the maps they could have avoided evacuating into areas of high radiation.

It matters not what country they're in either, the industry itself is corrupt. Always was and always will be.

secret was out.

Right?

I find it somewhat amazing that anyone gave a fuck about the death of 6 billion people from Fukushima - everyone on earth will die from Fukushima, apparently, given the many hundreds of thousands metric tons of fossil fuels burned so we could hear all about the Fukushima wipe out of life on earth on the internet - given that there are zero anti-nukes who give a fuck about the 3.3 million people who die each year from air pollution, half under the age of 5.

That is bullshit.

Of course coal emissions are bad and kill. So does nuke radiation. And gas fumes. And pesticides. And a whole host of other pollutants that are not from coal. And there have been millions of us warning about such pollution.

What mode of thinking are you operating under to exclaim such bullshit as zero anti-nukes don't give a fuck? Shame on you.
