(13,685 posts)But they did find, and published finding cesium-134 off the coast shortly after the 3/11 event. So we can give them limited kudos.
Look at it this way folks, if WHOI told us what they feared the worst from this Ongoing and Unprecedented event, they would lose their government contracts and any big business funding would dry up overnight, and they'd all be back to pulling nets for a living.
It has been 4 years since the Deepwater Horizon event and just now is the data trickling out claiming massive destruction of life in the Gulf of Mexico. And there we see the culprit, BP, fighting tooth and nail to delay and obfuscate the damage done. You can just imagine the lengths nuke power would go to to hide their damage.
In the BP case the oil can be seen. Radiation can not be seen. The basis for the estimates from WHOI, are based on the releases from the days shortly after 3/11. But the pollution is Ongoing, indeed, it may even be worse every day. The limited testing done by the Japanese indeed show that radiation levels are rising.
One has to look at the big picture. This is an Ongoing event of a magnitude that is Unprecedented and can't be stopped 3 and 1/2 years later, they can't even get to the cores. Robots stop working when they get close it is such a highly radiated area.
People, become aware and plan for dealing with increased radiation.
