Battling an Invisible Enemy

This post is a response to James’ comment in my post documenting a possible nuclear criticality at Fukushima Daiichi:

I agree James that the truth about Fukushima will never be revealed, unless the evidence becomes undeniable. There are too many vested interests involved for the truth to be told. Moreover, the global economy could not take the shock and the speculative class would lose their wealth.

We will live in the wake of the largest human-engineered environmental disaster ever. Yet, its impact will be denied. Undeniable truths will be trivialized.

The battles of the era of atmospheric testing reveal the depths of conspiracy and its institutionalization within regulatory agencies.

I know Fukushima is going to wreck unprecedented damage onto the human genome. I know the effects are going to be denied. What I cannot predict is the severity of first generation exposure effects.

The uncertainty of first gen exposure effects stems from many unknowns surrounding the level of exposure and our current health stature.

How much radiation has Fukushima actually spewed into the atmosphere, ground water, and ocean? 

I’ve described for over two years now ongoing atmospheric releases at the site. Optimal PredictionOptimal Prediction points out that CRIIRAD detected yet another spike of short-lived Iodine-131. 

How fast is the fuel inventory at the site going to disintegrate and/or be incinerated? How have the radionuclides been distributed geographically and how are they bio-accumulating and biomagnifying in the food chain, and in us?

What levels of exposure are likely to cause immunological and neurological failures, for adults, for men, for women, for children, for infants?

Perhaps the first generation exposed will merely sicken and die years earlier than they would have otherwise, the rising incidents of cancer, immunological, neurological disorders attributed by experts to diet, lifestyle, and genetics. Collapsing lifespans may be attributed to ‘unknown’ factors.

In this envisioned dystopic future, the concept of ‘environment’ will be used by experts only to denote social and lifestyle factors, such as diet, exercise, and stress. The many endocrine disruptors and geno-toxins in our environment will be disregarded and those who stress them will be labeled ‘alarmist.’ This will occur even while these insults to human health visibly degrade our personal health and genetic integrity.

Or, perhaps our genome has already been so compromised by environmental exposures that another jolt will produce non-summative effects. Read about genetic mosaicism http://majiasblog.blogspot.com/2012/05/mutations-germ-line-mosaicism.html 

Fukushima, Hanford, Chernobyl, Three Mile Island, and the next mega-radiation disaster may cause inevitable, albeit multi-generational, extinction and our leaders will deny it even as they take their last breath at an early death caused by radiation.

I also fear that events themselves will overwhelm denial. An alternative and more dystopic envisioned future entails UNDENIABLE evidence that radiation from Fukushima is sickening, maiming, and killing large numbers of people. This scenario could very well unfold if cooling efforts at the site fail (for any number of reasons) and/or if a large earthquake or site saturation cause massive structural failures.

Who can predict which scenario will prevail? How to prevent either from occurring?

I’m tired of fighting an enemy whose current invisibility is both intrinsic to the phenomenon and reinforced through propaganda at every opportunity.

I want to forget what is happening and I sometimes I do, briefly, until another terrifying event is documented via the webcam or another rain brought in by the jet stream produces inexplicable headaches, nose bleeds, stomach problems, coughs, and general malaise among all those surrounding me. Under those circumstances I risk personal and professional ridicule for naming the probable cause of inexplicable symptoms. 

My strength for this battle is ebbing.
