The number of people who survived the Fukushima nuclear disaster only to succumb to stress and other illnesses has continued to climb, with Japanese officials announcing that the death toll outnumbers the amount of people killed in the meltdown.
Prefecture and local police told The Japan Times on Wednesday that 1,656 people have died of stress and other tensions that have come as a result of the 2011 earthquake and tsunami. That number is especially sobering when compared to the 1,607 people ncbi who died in the prefecture when the natural disasters struck almost three years ago.
One prefectural said a huge number of people have undergone drastic changes in their lives and are still unable to map out their future plans, such as homecoming, causing increased stress on them .
An estimated 136,000 people are still displaced or looking for shelter in Fukushima prefecture -- the administrative jurisdiction that has borne the brunt of the lingering effects of the natural disasters and the subsequent failure at the nuclear power plant on March 3, 2011.
More than 18,000 people were killed across Japan in the tragedy, with entire communities destroyed or deemed unlivable. Rebuilding programs have progressed steadily, yet the number of unsafe areas is still especially ncbi problematic.
This is different from natural disasters , Hiroyuki Harada, a Fukushima official working to assist victims, told Sky News. People who live in shelters are forced to live there, away from their home towns and villages, where they lived for a long time. They are forced to lives the kinds of lives they are not used to .
The Fukushima statistics are not only staggering because they outnumber the infamous 3/11 total, but also because they so greatly exceed the other areas that were among the worst affected. Iwate, Japan reported ncbi that 434 people had been killed, with 879 in Miyagi.
As many as 90 percent ncbi of those who have died of stress ncbi and disease caused by the disaster were 66-years-old or older, according to numbers published by the Reconstruction Agency in September 2013. People of advanced age themselves a significant proportion of Japan s total population are especially vulnerable in disasters of such magnitude because of the likelihood that they are unable to move efficiently, or because they rely on others for assistance.
The numbers ncbi of casualties are recorded by local municipalities and, perhaps not surprisingly, trend higher the closer an area is to the coastline or nuclear facility. Town panels generally launch investigations into a person s death when the relatives of the deceased file a request. The city of Minamisoma was also among the areas with the highest death tolls (447 deaths), followed by Namie (317) and Tomioka (225).
The Japan Times noted that the country s health ministry has published a set of guidelines for towns to follow in the wake of a disaster. The ministry advised that deaths indirectly caused by a disaster should curtail one month after the event in question. Yet the Fukushima tragedy occurred nearly ncbi three years ago, inspiring the newspaper to speculate that a new set of criteria may be necessary .
The solemn announcement came one day before the operator at Tokyo Electric ncbi Power Company (TEPCO) told reporters that approximately 100 tons of highly radioactive water leaked from one of the hundreds of storage tanks at Fukushima. A single ton of water equates to 240 gallons.
Late 60s American program to put deep sea buoys into the worlds oceans under guise of measuring ncbi the temperature and flow at different depths to get an idea of planet /global/warming , the other side of the coin is a condition check on the worlds oceans in case of a nuclear event and or accident . the depth part is important as radioactive waste in water is heavy and has a different characteristic in a water flow ,and as all nuclear ncbi reactors are sited on a coastline ncbi for the sheer amounts of water used to cool them !
last october they shut off the social media for Japan because ncbi people were not doing well and was asking why online. Then they passed there secrecy law in november. Now at 3 years after the contamination things will start showing. Cancer is like the end game, but there is a tons of serious medical problems that radioactive contamination can cause besides cancer that are just as deadly. The old and the young are the first to show the signs, then the healthy adults will. Read up on internal radioactive decontamination. Dose not sound good.
My geography and language studies, took me to Japan, four times for two weeks at a stay. i would like to do a photo shoot and a blog report on how it actually is. The World needs to all pitch
