New study finds children living near the Fukushima nuclear meltdowns have been diagnosed with Thyroid cancer at a rate 20 to 50 times that of children elsewhere

Thank you very much for your input. Your type of influence is exactly why the internet is the new human super brain.

It seems like the difficulties in your investigation may have something to do with the geography of the location. I've done quite a bit of research of nuclear weaponry and strategy, which involves a lot of NPP destruction analysis. To but it briefly, every single nuclear power plant on this planet has a nuclear warhead locked on to it. Essentially what we're looking for is how fallout behaves in different geographical conditions for certain effects to occur when a NPP is neutralized. Many warheads are specifically designed for specific nuclear power plants in specific geographical regions for this exact purpose. The Fukushima scenario is not too different from a targeted attack. Therefor i have reasons to assume that it's logical to analyze this situation with nuclear warfare strategies.

One example of what may be occurring. Fukushima is somewhat landlocked. In a warfare situation, a ground bomb or underground bomb would be used to create as much potential fallout as possible. Unfortunately for us, Fukushima is somewhat of an ''ideal'' target, with the sea right in front of it and the destruction is not too different that what is expected from a NPP strike. The contaminated leakage is pouring into the coastal areas, which spreads along the coast. In the occurrence of tides, tsunamis, earthquakes high winds, contaminated particles wash up on the shoreline. Exposing themselves to whatever and whoever is on the coast. To make it simple, what seems to be happening is that the leakage is turning into a concentrated ''puddle'' of contaminated particles around the plant which is then spread out with the wind, cars, people, everything... Into the nearby regions. The best analogy i can give is, that instead of throwing the water out of a cup, you're pouring it on the floor. Reducing the dispersion of the contamination. Hopefully the locals are not eating anything within 100km of the region, although I'm 99% sure they are, also most likely swimming and surfing there too. We also have a lot of other issues concerning the actual damage to the facility. There were earthquakes, tsunamis and extreme wind conditions involved that all have a direct impact on the situation. Which is too difficult to understand because i have no clue as to how the facility is designed underground. It might be that no one actually has any idea of the underground contamination and how severe it is. There are almost no authorized research parties collecting data on this topic in the region, it's mostly small businesses and curious individuals.

In chernobyl, the immediate emergency response was phenomenal in comparison, with lead being poured from above in the tonnes to cover the facility, and a lot of the radioactive fallout blew away in the wind and dispersed in the atmosphere around Europe and eventually around the globe. The damage around the facility in terms of radioactive fallout, at least to my understanding, wasn't nearly as bad.
