Modern industrial society is a fanatical religion. We are demolishing, poisoning, destroying all life-systems on the planet. We are signing IOUs our children will not be able to pay...We are acting as if we were the last generation on the planet. Without a radical change in heart, in mind, in vision, the earth will end up like Venus, charred and dead. – Jose Antonio Lutzenberger, Brazilian Minister for the Environment

“The number of children and grandchildren with cancer in their bones, with leukemia in their blood, or with poison in their lungs might seem statistically small to some, in comparison with natural health hazards. But this is not a natural health hazard—and it is not a statistical issue. The loss of even one human life, or the malformation of even one baby—who may be born long after we are gone—should be of concern to us all. Our children and grandchildren are not merely statistics toward which we can be indifferent.”
John F. Kennedy, July 26th, 1963

Highest Ever Radiation Detected in Fukushima Plant Well
Tokyo, Dec. 17 (Jiji Press)--Some 63,000 becquerels of radioactive materials that emit beta rays, such as strontium-90, per liter have been found in groundwater in an observation well at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant, the highest level at the well, Tokyo Electric Power Co. <9501> said Tuesday.
TEPCO said that the radioactive materials were in a water sample taken on Monday from the observation well 5 meters from the coast, east of the plant's No. 1 reactor. The previous highest radiation level in the well's water was 67 becquerels, according to the company.

Note: The radioactive materials have suddenly jumped from 67 becquerels per liter to 63,000 becquerels per liter and they are only 5 meters (16.4 feet) from the Pacific Ocean and TEPCO is taking no action to prevent it leaking into the bay.
