Charles
Bonner, attorney representing sailors from the USS Ronald Reagan:
They’re not only going to the rescue by jumping into the water and
rescuing people out of the water, but they were drinking desalinated
sea water, bathing in it, until finally the captain of the USS Ronald
Reagan alarmed people that they were encountering high levels of
radiation. As a result of this exposure, the 51 sailors that we
represent right now have come down with a host of medical problems,
including cancers and leukemias, all kinds of gynecological problems
[...] people who are going blind, pilots who had perfect
eyesight but now have tumors on the brain. These service men and
women are young people 21, 22, 23 years old and no one in their
family had ever (inaudible) any of these kinds of illnesses before.
At
33:00
Bonner:
These sailors had none of these kind of medical problems, now they
have back pains, memory loss, severe anxiety. They have testicular
cancer, they have thyroid cancers, they have leukemias, they have a
host of problems, rectal and gynecological bleeding, a host of
problems that they did not have before [...] And it’s only been 3
years since they went in. [...] The Japanese government is in a major
conspiracy with Tepco to hide and conceal the true facts.

Bonner:
We’ll be adding approximately 20 sailors, bringing the total number
in the lawsuit to 70 to 75.
At

Bonner:
21 and 22 year-olds who are just beginning to start their lives,
start their families, and many have little children and now they’re
sick. They are going constantly to the doctors, their children are
sick — we even have small children as some of our plaintiffs,
because they too have developed problems

Large
die-off of Alaska seabirds from disease never found before in state
history
Official:
It’s super, super common… except it’s first time — Hundreds
dead per km²; Continued to wash ashore — ‘Relatively’ natural;
Witness: Head flopped backward, appeared to have seizure, then
dropped dead

Anchorage
Daily News:
Hundreds of dead sea birds found on the beaches of St. Lawrence
Island were the victims of Alaska’s first detected avian cholera
outbreak, officials said this week. One hunter in Gambell spotted a
bird on the beach, its head flopping backward [...] The bird acted
like it was having a seizure. Then it dropped dead. [...] Gay
Sheffield, a Nome-based biologist with the University of Alaska’s
Marine Advisory Program [...] received three bird carcasses: a
northern fulmar [...] a thick-billed murre [...] and a black crested
auklet [...] “For this disease, actually, these numbers are really
small, which makes me think there’s a lot more birds that died
somewhere else that we didn’t see” [said Kimberlee Beckmen, Fish
& Game veterinarian.]
“It’s
super, super common” (except it’s the first time)
Kimberlee
Beckmen, a Fish and Game wildlife veterinarian:
“It’s super, super common. The only unusual part is us finding a
die-off in Alaska.”
Cathie
Harms, a wildlife biologist with ADF&G:
“Avian Cholera had not been detected in Alaska before”
“It’s
not something that can hurt people” (but wear gloves, wash hands,
and never eat it)
Cathie
Harms, a wildlife biologist with ADF&G:
“The good news is although birds died, it’s not something that
can hurt people”
AP:
Officials warn anyone touching a sick bird or animal to wear gloves
and wash hands with soap and water after handling animals or
butchering meat. Never eat sick birds or animals that may have
died from a disease.
Biologist
will try an aerial count of carcasses in a few days (as residents
dispose of bodies)
AP:
A local biologist will try to get an aerial count of infected birds
or carcasses next week.
Anchorage
Daily News:
Residents will don protective gloves to pick up what carcasses they
find
Alaska
Department of Fish and Game:
Outbreaks are usually handled by removing the carcasses as soon as
possible
Dead
seabirds continued to wash up, though not as many as before
AP:
Most of the birds turned up on a 10-mile beach [...] Early reports
put the number of dead birds at 200 to 300
bird per square
kilometer. The outbreak is apparently already declining, wildlife
authorities said. [...]
Alaska
Department of Fish and Game:
Beckmen noted that the number of and dead birds reported is
decreasing.
Cathie
Harms, a wildlife biologist with ADF&G:
“We are hearing fewer reports of dead birds as the days go on.”
It
is just an unprecedented outbreak (which are never related to
environmental changes)
AP:
Residents in Gambell and Savoonga worried something in the
environment had killed the birds, and notified officials.
Cathie
Harms, a wildlife biologist with ADF&G:
She says even with a large die-off like the one recently seen off St.
Lawrence Island, it’s a relatively natural event. “We had heard
that people had concerns of why birds were dying and appearing on the
beach [...] it isn’t related to the environment or other issues –
it is just an outbreak.”
Gay
Sheffield, a Nome-based biologist with the University of Alaska’s
Marine Advisory Program:
“People out there did a fabulous job of responding, reporting,
getting the word out. It’s only because of their actions that we’re
learning what this is all about.”

Rice
grown near crippled Fukushima nuclear plant served to govt officials
Rice
from fields in the Fukushima prefecture, evacuated after the worst
nuclear disaster in Japan, will be served to government officials for
9 days in a bid to demonstrate the safety of the country’s
most-beloved crop, a local broadcaster reported
RT,
10
December, 2013
The
rice cultivated in several decontaminated fields in the Yamakiya
District in Kawamata Town and Iitate Village, two areas designated as
evacuation zones after the March 2011 nuclear catastrophe, will be
served in a government office in Tokyo from Monday.
Over
half a ton (540 kilograms) of rice will be part of a test to prove
the effectiveness of the decontamination process. Officials from the
Fukushima prefecture have given assurances that the rice contains no
radioactive substances.
The
rice balls tasted especially good after the great effort put into
cultivating the crop, said Senior Vice Environment Minister Shinji
Inoue on Monday. Parliamentary Vice Environment Minister Tomoko
Ukishima also joined the tasting.
A
farmer from Kawamata Town told NHK that he will continue to cultivate
the rice now that he knows it tastes good. Because the zone was
evacuated after the nuclear crisis, he said that he had traveled from
his temporary home to the paddy fields to tend the crops.
Some
160,000 people escaped the vicinity of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear
plant after an earthquake in March 2011 triggered a tsunami that hit
Japan’s coast, damaging the plant’s three nuclear reactors. The
catastrophe that hit Fukushima became the world’s worst nuclear
disaster since Chernobyl.
Several
months after the accident at the power plant in November 2011,
samples of rice grown in Onami town in Fukushima Prefecture showed
radioactive contamination above the safety limit. The grain contained
caesium – a radioactive isotope - that was measured at 630
becquerels per kilogram, while the government-set safety limit is 500
becquerels.
The
rice from Onami, situated 57 kilometers northwest of the stricken
nuclear power plant, was banned and shipments of the product were
restricted in November 2011.
Yamakiya
District in Kawamata Town and Iitate Village, the areas from which
the decontaminated rice is currently being served to officials, are
located some 40 to 50 kilometers northwest of the stricken plant.
