Paul Stamets On Radiation Contamination Around Fukushima

[Richard D]

Many people have written me and asked more or less the same question: “What would you do to help heal the Japanese landscape around the failing nuclear reactors?”

The enormity and unprecedented nature of this combined natural and human-made disaster will require a massive and completely novel approach to management and remediation. And with this comes a never before seen opportunity for collaboration, research and wisdom.

The nuclear fallout will make continued human habitation in close proximity to the reactors untenable. The earthquake and tsunami created enormous debris fields near the nuclear reactors. Since much of this debris is wood, and many fungi useful in mycoremediation are wood decomposers and build the foundation of forest ecosystems, I have the following suggestions:

1. I'll admit that is craetive

it will still take a few centuries I fear... but that is creative.

2. That's still far less time than just letting it sit and radiate on it's own.

However, with contamination by nuclear materials, there is no good answer other than prevention.

I strongly believe, that when all is said and done, Japan is going to emerge stronger, in every way. Who wouldn't want to be the first country to become energy independent? After the infrastructure is in place, it's nearly free.

It's a national security issue.
