Japan Failed Fukushima Residents

Clearly, the Japanese government didn't understand, didn't know the meaning of, "simulation". The whole point of simulation is to provide possible scenarios based on limited inputs, and that's what SPEEDI was supposed to do. It did exactly that, but the government squashed the simulation results.

In order to be "correct" with only the measured data (which was non-existent at that time), the politicians both in the government and in the Nuclear Safety Commission chose to keep quiet and let the residents of Namie-machi irradiated, their homes, fields contaminated, probably beyond repair. Not only that, they went on the offensive, telling Fukushima residents and the Japanese people that everything was under control, it was safe.

Without any warning or advice from the government or TEPCO based on SPEEDI, Namie residents ended up evacuating to where the radioactive plume went. SPEEDI had correctly predicted that the radioactive plume would go the direction of Namie based on the prevailing wind pattern.

NOTE; Nothing has changed is the truth is slowly emerging. And for the reports in the US. CDC reports that through July 30, 2011 there are 27,752 additional US deaths. Fukushima? What do you think? The CDC infant mortality rates through June 30 show increases of 35-48% increase in US Infant Mortality. Fukushima?

The truth is there, you just have to hunt for it. What are you doing to protect yourself from radiation?
