Deadly Silence on Fukushima

Posted: 05/ 9/11 05:05 AM ET

<snip>"About Japan: the problem is that the reactor uses "dirty" fuel. It is a combination of plutonium and uranium (MOX).

I suspect that the old fuel rods have bean spread out due to the explosion and the surrounding area is contaminated with plutonium which means you can never return to this place again.

It is like a new Tchernobyl. Personally, I am not surprised that the authority has not informed people about this". snip

Uesugi stated that since March 11th, the government has excluded all internet media and all foreign media from official press conferences on the "Emergency Situation".

Why would they do that?

1. Only one reason and that is to control the message getting out

Plutonium is some nasty shit and should never be used as it is/was here.
