Hur cynisk får myndigheterna bli?
I Japan ämnar man höja gränsvärdet för hur mycket barn kan exponera sig för radioaktivitet!
I Sverige höjde man gränsvärdet för mat direkt efter Tjernobyl!
Det är endast ekonomin som räknas!
Likaså beordrades folk att leva som vanligt. Barnen satt i sandlådor efter första regnet. Där kunde de få i sig hot spots med livsfarlig radioaktivitet.
Andra krattade sina trädgårdar där samma sak kunde hända i och med att gammalt kontaminerat gräs flög omkring.
Samtidigt som man upptäckte att vi hade höga värden av radioaktivitet i Västernorrland beordrade man att all tillgänglig utrustning skulle ner till Skåne. Varför? Jo, man skulle mäta markstrålningen innan kreaturen skulle ut på bete.
M a o vi människor i Västernorrland var mindre värda än kreaturen i söder!
Jag bestämde mig för att köpa en folkens mätare. Det tog veckor för alla var slut i Sverige. Sedan mätte jag hemma hos bönder och småbarnsföräldrar för att de skulle veta var det var värst att hålla till. Givetvis i närheten av stuprör (regnvattnet) och i mossa där vattnet samlats.
Min stackars son blev kallad Mikrosievert pga att jag bad fotbollslaget att ställa in sin turnering i andra regnet, när atmosfären tvättades ur. Tror ni att det var uppskattat?
Det slutade med att efter tre-fyra veckor utgick ett påbud om att man inte skulle leka i sandlådor utan att byta ut sanden först (ej kontaminerat dito) och inte kratta i trädgårdar, etc.
Då var skadan redan skedd! Barn på förskolor sattes faktiskt ut i regn i sandlådor, för att visa mig att jag hade fel....De ville statuera exempel!
Idag har vi flera fall av cancer i våra trakter (liksom i de andra mest utsatta områdena i Sverige), men ingen vill följa upp det. Forskningen är nedlagd!
Jag har drivit frågan hela tiden i landstinget när jag var där. I kommunen har jag väckt frågor kring detsamma.
Gissa om jag blev matt, när Fukushima rapporterades till världen!
Jag orkar inte börja om med all upplysningsverksamhet efter alla dessa år!
Snälla människor läs på! Förstå att det finns inga säkra kärnkraftverk!
Den mänskliga faktorn kan ingen operera bort!
Dessutom är naturens krafter mycket större än den lilla människans!
Petition against raising the radiation exposure onto children
Petition Deadline April 30!

Please tell us where you are from, as we are looking for the support of the international community. Thanks for your interest and participation!
We the undersigned ask you to join us in signing our petition, to be presented to the Japanese Government.
Petition
[Emergency Statement and Demands]
We urgently demand the withdrawal of the Japanese Government’s inhumane decision to force 20mSv per year radiation exposure onto children
On April 19th, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) notified the Board of Education and related institutions in Fukushima Prefecture the level of 20 millisieverts per year (mSv/y) as a Radiation Safety Standard for schools in Fukushima Prefecture. This is the standard to be used for school grounds and buildings. The Government has indicated that 20mSv/y is equivalent to 3.8 microSv per hour measured outdoors.
3.8 microSv/h is roughly 6 times [the 0.6 microSv/h] of “Radiation Controlled Areas” (0.6 microSv/h or more). The Labour Standards Act prohibits those under the age of 18 from working under these conditions. Forcing children to be exposed to such radiation doses is an exceedingly inhumane decision. Therefore, we condemn this in the strongest terms.
20 mSv/y is comparable to the [legally] recognized dose for inducing leukemia in nuclear power plant workers. It is also comparable to the maximum dose allowed for nuclear power plant workers in Germany.
In addition, this 20mSv standard [for Japanese children] does not take into account the fact children have higher sensitivity to radiation than adults, nor does it take into account any internal radiation exposure.
Currently, according to the radiation monitoring conducted at elementary and middle schools within Fukushima Prefecture, more than 75% of these schools have contamination levels comparable to “Radiation Controlled Areas” (0.6 microSv/h or more). Further, roughly 20% of the schools fall within “Individual Exposure Controlled Areas” (2.3 microSv/h or more) and are in an extremely dangerous situation.
The level set by the Japanese Government at this time amounts to coercion of this dangerous situation upon children, and, can interfere with voluntary measures by schools to minimize exposure.
MEXT states that 20mSv/y is based on the recommendation Pub.109 by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) as well as on the reference levels in the band of 1 to 20 mSv/y as “Post Emergency Situation” Standards from the ICRP statement released on March 21st. The latter means MEXT has adopted the maximum level.
As of April 21st, there has been no substantive information disclosure by the Japanese Government on the decision-making process for establishing these standards. Moreover, no explanation has been given concerning why the Government has neither taken the sensitivity of children into consideration nor internal radiation exposure into account. The contents of the consultation held between MEXT and the Nuclear Safety Commission (NSC) are not disclosed, and the situation remains extremely opaque.
We demand the following of the Japanese Government:
- Retraction of the “20mSv/y” standard for children.
- Disclosure of the names of experts, who deemed “20mSv/y” for children to be safe.
