Children Don Masks, Hats in Fukushima as Radiation Looms

By Takahiko Hyuga and Shigeru Sato - May 11, 2011 4:13 AM CT

Students at the Shoyo Junior High School in Fukushima are wearing masks, caps and long-sleeved jerseys to attend classes as their exposure to radiation is on pace to equal annual limits for nuclear industry workers.

“Students are told not to go out to the school yard and we keep windows shut,” said Yukihide Sato, the vice principal at Shoyo Junior High in Date city, about 60 kilometers (37 miles) northwest from the crippled Fukushima Dai-Ichi nuclear station. “Things are getting worse, but I don’t know what to do.”

2. It seems so strange that there are four reactors near meltdown

and nearly all news about it is suppressed.

Their government (and international news) is lying to them saying things are okay so no one knows what to do to keep themselves safe.

3. Noone's lying -

Noone knows what's actually going on.
Two months of that = not much news.

6. Well it defies logic

that while four reactors are in the process of heating up or melting, every government report on their testing of public nuclear pollution shows results that levels are safe.

4. here's a cloud monitor.

Looks like N. CA will get a bit of a dose this weekend with our rain. I'm looking at the Cesium cloud prediction from 5/9 - 5/13

7. Why don't they ask all the fucking morons who told us that nuclear energy

was safe? Why don't we go back and find out who they were and grab them and take them to a townhall where they can explain to us how these people are suppose to survive this disaster?

Why aren't we putting the blame where it belongs?
