I'm working on something HUGE !
I hope what I'm drafting isn't easily dismissed or fosters 'nitpicking'. Operating from an admitted bias is difficult enough, but at the same time I'm also trying to address and help quash fear-mongering posts, sensationalism, inaccurate sourcing or the lack thereof. I'm after the unvarnished truth, whatever that may be. I trust that when taken as a whole, and then broken down into individual or collective items, my concerns are relevant, timely and responsible.
I have very little faith that we are being told or provided ALL the data we need to be properly informed, that blanket statements from government(s) industry(s) and other entities are NOT sufficient. I operate FROM these assumptions, and will continue to do so until it is proven otherwise to me.
Here is the rough framework:
Questions regarding on-going radioactive contamination from Fukushima:
Basic assumptions and difficulties:
*The assumption of reliable data on release(s) water/atmospheric from industries, governments, the IAEA and independent sources
*The assumption of static systems(s) water/atmospheric
*The assumption of static discharge(s) water/atmospheric
*The assumption of static contamination(s) water/atmospheric/biological
*The availability of data which specifically identifies Fukushima as the source in question. Radioactive signatures specific to forensic sciences.
*The assumption that TEPCO is responsibly handling the situation, reporting data and situation accurately, that this data is being responsibly and accurately verified by government(s) the IAEA and other international authorities and by industry and independent sources
*The assumption that TEPCO is financially prepared to handle this situation for decades
*The assumption that no similar earthquake/tsunami event will further this disaster or create similar problems elsewhere in Japan or other seismically unstable regions
*The assumption that the spent fuel cores/rods/assemblies from the Fukushima reactors are under control, no longer hazardous and proper methods of containment/sequestration are in place and working
*The failure to consider nuclear waste dumping by multiple nations
*The failure to consider nuclear weapons testing by multiple nations water/atmospheric
Other considerations may be included as time/details become apparent.
