(Reuters) - Highly radioactive water seeping into the ocean from Japan's crippled Fukushima nuclear plant is creating an "emergency" that the operator is struggling to contain, an official from the country's nuclear watchdog said on Monday.

This contaminated groundwater has breached an underground barrier, is rising toward the surface and is exceeding legal limits of radioactive discharge, Shinji Kinjo, head of a Nuclear Regulatory Authority (NRA) task force, told Reuters.

Countermeasures planned by Tokyo Electric Power Co are only a temporary solution, he said.

Tepco's "sense of crisis is weak," Kinjo said. "This is why you can't just leave it up to Tepco alone" to grapple with the ongoing disaster.

1. Why is Tepco still doing the testing?

Tepco is scheduled to test strontium levels next.

Very serious question.

2. Why is the world sitting by, expecting Japan to solve this?

The Pacific Ocean has been the dumping ground for radioactive materiel for over a year. The plume of radioactivity has been circling the globe for as long. This is a global problem not something that Tepco will solve.

This is a surreal situation. If this were a movie the good guy would have done what needed to be done.

3. This is a world wide emergency and needs to be treated as such.

Every nation should be sending their top minds to contain this nightmare.

4. Rather fantastic that we are covering up the info, instead, isn't it?

5. Oh my. We have loosed death on the ocean. n/t

6. and all the inhabitants of the ocean.

while the contamination is continuing, every minute of every hour of every day.

7. Let me guess... you see those two as being similar, don't you?

Hey... just look at all the pretty colors! The first obviously correctly predicted the later reality... right?

For the record... the first image was an intentional lie and you fell for it. And the lie was obvious from day one.

Why? Because if it were correct, everyone west of the Mississippi would have been dead two years ago... and most of the rest of us (and a pretty fair percentage of the rest of the Northern Hemisphere) would have died as well.

They second map? Well... I'd say it's spot on - but that you don't understand it.

Why? Because that's the estimated (and measured) wave height of the tsunami. It isn't a radiation map.

8. 500 rads is enough to kill a man

So, you're telling me my college friend I've been chatting with in California for the past two years on FB is actually her ghost on a phantom laptop?

9. That was one hell of a coverup!

According to the first map, at least a third of the population of the West Coast died and we never heard about it. How extraordinary, especially since their deaths were generally slow and lingering. There is a high incidence of illness among the remaining population also.

Those of us who are a little more oriented in space-time use more authoritative sources, such as CEREA:

You'll find a very nice animated map at the bottom of that page. But of course, the French could be in on the conspiracy too. Le Matrice Atomique, since they show that the radiation exposure to the West Coast of the USA and Canada was too small to change background readings.

So a reality test - what has happened to the value of West Coast real estate since 3/11?

The only Nuclear Matrix explanation that I can see for the 12% gain in RE prices in LA over the last year is that Big Nuclear is manufacturing robots to buy the houses to perpetuate the fraud. Apple Androids or Google Droids, that is the question....

Case-Shiller is on on it too:


You may believe whatever you wish, as long as you don't believe 500-750 rads is going to leave any possibility of a coverup. There would be dire health effects, and because of the way water collects the radiation and pools it, there would currently be very hot areas along drainage basins, foothills and the like. Also the sewers. The sewers would be incredibly radioactive.
