Link to a 56-minute audio recording of Janette Sherman and Joseph Mangano being interviewed about their work. At several points in the tape you’ll hear comments regarding radiation falling on Alaska and washing up on its shoreline. Indeed this is happening daily and it is affecting the ecosystem. Uncontrolled releases to the air and ocean at Fukushima are unprecedented in size and potency and occurring daily. Alaska is downwind and downcurrent from Fukushima. It is foolish to deny the risk Alaska faces.

You may also wish to review this site: http://www.akradioisotopeinfocenter.org/. Data here supports the work of Sherman and Mangano while calling attention to the damage and death Fukushima radiation is wreaking on Alaska’s ecosystem and wildlife resources.

The State of Alaska is ignoring the dangers posed by Fukushima. One assumes state leaders are working to protect the seafood industry’s financial interests. Citizens whose concern is their health look to you to elevate the issue to a prominent position in public dialogue and action.

Thank you to Douglas Yates for sharing this info.

New York Times Reports on Chernobyl

Henry Fountain writes about Dr. Tim Mousseau, a biologist from the University of North Carolina:

“Dr. Mousseau, a biologist at the University of South Carolina, has been coming to the contaminated area around Chernobyl, known as the exclusion zone, since 1999. The list of creatures he has studied is long: chiffchaffs, blackcaps, barn swallows and other birds; insects, including bumblebees, butterflies and cicadas; spiders and bats; and mice, voles and other small rodents. After the nuclear meltdowns at Fukushima, Japan, three years ago he has conducted similar research there, too.

In dozens of papers over the years Dr. Mousseau, his longtime collaborator, Anders Pape Moller of the National Center for Scientific Research in France, and colleagues have reported evidence of radiation’s toll: higher frequencies of tumors and physical abnormalities like deformed beaks among birds compared with those from uncontaminated areas, for example, and a decline in the populations of insects and spiders with increasing radiation intensity.
