Fukushima

Looks more and more like Tokyo is indeed becoming uninhabitable by current standards. Since evacuating 30 million people will be impossible, the standards for habitability will have to be continuously revised to match the worsening situation, and it looks like Japan will turn into a big radioactive experiment. Just take a look at the latest headlines here: http://enenews.com/category/japan

So, accordingly, some experts in Japan have already started suggesting that smiling is an excellent first line of defense against radiation. On the EX-SKF blog they mention a Dr. Wade Allison, from Oxford, who has announced that current concerns about radiation are a kind of superstitious remnant from what he calls the  "popular clamor of the Cold War".

He criticizes the ICRP recommendation for radiation dose, and suggests we ditch the ICRP's "As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA)" and adopt "As High As Relatively Safe (AHARS)".

And what is his AHARS level recommendation? His recommendation seems to be based on the therapeutic, targeted doses used in cancer treatment.  http://ex-skf.blogspot.com/

As Paul Zimmerman put it in an this article a few weeks ago:

Japan's government, its Nuclear Safety Commission, and TEPCO have already demonstrated that they will do everything in their power to keep citizens ignorant of what is taking place. The emerging health crisis is scheduled to be erased. Following a time-tested blueprint worked out by prior radiation releases around the world, data relevant to assessing the medical impact of the accident will not be gathered. Radiation doses to the population will be woefully underestimated. The hazards associated with low levels of internal contamination will be obliterated from all discussions of risk. Academic journals that support the nuclear agenda will be flooded with bogus studies demonstrating that no health detriment was suffered by the population. The heightened incidence of childhood leukemia will be attributed to some as yet unidentified virus unleashed by population mixing following the evacuations caused by the tsunami. (This theory is currently in vogue to deny that the heightened incidence of leukemia among children under five years of age living nearby to nuclear reactors is radiation induced.)  The birth defects will be summarily dismissed as impossible because the risk models upheld by the International Commission on Radiological Protection don't predict them. The possibility that the models are fraudulently constructed escapes consideration. http://globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=26798
