There's more going on in our radioactive world than we're being told on the regular.  Get caught up for yourself, step-by-step:
 
STEP 1 EDUCATE & SAFEGUARD
As the 2020 Olympics fast approaches, concerns about radioactive exposure persist, despite what the ones in charge insist upon:

STEP 2 EVACUATE #FUKUSHIMA NOW
With everyone worrying about the coronavirus spread, it’s easy to forget when important info like #Fukushima food export bans being lifted overseas:

STEP 3 CONTROL & CONTAIN
TEPCO’s got it’s own problem in the courts and at the plant site itself:

STEP 4 NUCLEAR POWER IS OVER
The current administration in France still wants to keep nuclear energy viable but politics, pressure and time are forcing them to shut down their fleet one by one:

HEY #FUKUFIGHTERS!
Protecting the pets of #Fukushima that have been left behind is a big responsibility but it’s happening every day thanks to SORA animal peace project in #Fukushima.  Please help support their work in anyway you can, follow and promote!

466 weeks after the #FukushimaNuclearDisaster began and the problems keep piling up.  Find out more about it before another week passes you by, step-by-step: 

STEP 1 EDUCATE & SAFEGUARD
With the 2020 Summer Olympic torch relay set to begin, still-radioactive Futaba in Japan will be a stop along the way for the runners:
No wonder South Korea is getting flack for throwing shade at the Tokyo Games with these promotional posters:

STEP 2 EVACUATE #FUKUSHIMA NOW
The reuse of contaminated soil in and around #Fukushima Prefecture has been a big topic of debate there for years.  Notice how we never hear anything about it here in the U.S. even though we have the same kind of problems all over the place:

STEP 3 CONTROL & CONTAIN
Why is it important to have a wind map around the #Fukushima nuclear site?  Reactors 1-3 are still leaking radiation into the air, 3264 days later, that’s why:

STEP 4 NUCLEAR POWER IS OVER
When it comes to radiation contamination, nobody ever talks about how fractured gas extraction or ‘fracking’ contributes to the problem but they should:

HEY #FUKUFIGHTERS!
I spoke with Lonnie Clark this week about everything that’s going on with #FukushimaDaiichi and as usual, we spoke about things that NEVER get talked about in the mainstream media because they think it’s ’too scary’. So if you’re not a scaredy cat and have an hour to spare, give this special episode of the Age of Fission Radio show a spin:

Nukes are more complicated than people even realize for a lot of reasons, that's why we've got you covered on all the latest, step-by-step:
 
STEP 1 EDUCATE & SAFEGUARD
As the Summer Olympics draws closer, it’s time to look at the ‘funny math’ involved in the #Fukushima cover up:

STEP 2 EVACUATE #FUKUSHIMA NOW
Bringing back fishing in the hardest hit areas of Japan post-#Fukushima has been an uphill climb since 2011 but they’re still trying and we applaud them for it:

STEP 3 CONTROL & CONTAIN
The other nuclear plant in #Fukushima that suffered damage from the earthquake and tsunami on 3.11 but didn’t melt down, #Fukushima Daini is going to take 44 years (at least) to decommission properly: 

STEP 4 NUCLEAR POWER IS OVER
I knew there was a reason I never went for that Iran nuclear deal (other than the fact that using a radioactive carrot and stick approach to diplomacy is just dumb).  Now we know it’s shady AF:

HEY #FUKUFIGHTERS!
With the 9th anniversary of the #FukushimaNuclearDisaster just weeks away, it’s time to see what’s planned to mark the annual passage of time in Japan.  It looks like the activism is still ready and raring to go there:

The arguments for dumping radioactive water from #Fukushima in the headlines this week need closer examination.  The details listed below shows why that's a bad idea, step-by-step:
 
STEP 1 EDUCATE & SAFEGUARD
A recent visit to the plant site at #FukushimaDaiichi shows that releasing the water from there doesn’t make much sense unless they’ve been doing it the whole time:

STEP 2 EVACUATE #FUKUSHIMA NOW
The composition of radioactive particulate matter has a lot to do with which reactor it came from at #FukushimaDaiichi.  If you’re ready to learn about the ‘black glass’ problem that plagues the surrounding area in detail, read on:

STEP 3 CONTROL & CONTAIN
Another robot goes into reactor 2 at #FukushimaDaiichi to measure how much radiation is in the building as the long slog continues at the plant site:

STEP 4 NUCLEAR POWER IS OVER
The Iran nuclear deal may be dead according to the White House but nobody told that to the banks in charge of making that deal happen apparently:

HEY #FUKUFIGHTERS!
Can you believe I’ve been doing the #FukuFriday Happy Hour Hangout every week for 5 years now?  It’s just my little way of providing a roadmap for future generations to see past all our past mistakes and build toward a brighter future.  If you haven’t checked it out lately, stop on by and hit the Like button on your way thru!
