It's been over a year now since a massive earth quake hit Japan and caused one of the worst tsunamis on record. The number of reported deaths is around 20,000 and the number of people who are still suffering from this tragic catastrophe is in the millions. A direct result of the earth quake and tsunami was the destruction of the Fukushima nuclear power plant.

Unbelievably, the situation at the Fukushima nuclear power plant is unchanged and the environment surrounding the Fukushima nuclear power plant has not improved. The government has been lying to us all about the severity of the situation and is not sharing any information to domestic and global communities.

With the assistance of intense political pressure and demands of the global community to know what is happening at the Fukushima nuclear power plant, the government of Japan has been forced to reveal the severity of the Fukushima nuclear power plant disaster.

In a recent probe of one of the nuclear reactors that is still accessible, it was found that the levels of radiation are so high that it would result in almost instant death if anyone entered the area unprotected. The level of radiation found within the reactor was reportd at 70 seiverts an hour. Radiation at 70 seiverts an hour could kill an adult within 6 minutes and would you believe the levels of radiation were unbelievably 10 times higher than experts had been hoping. The latest investigation into the Fukushima nuclear power plant also reveals that the other two reactors that were not accessible are in even worse shape.

Irrespective of where you live in the world, the radiation from the Fukushima nuclear power plant is affecting you. It has been reported that the radiation from the Fukushima nuclear power plant is impacting people living within a 250 kilometre radius of the toxic site. In fact, the area within the Fukushima nuclear power plant is so toxic and so dangerous; the government of Japan has announced that they are going to have to develop a new type of protection so that anyone can access the site.

So what can the people of Japan and those who live near the Fukushima nuclear power plant expect as a direct result of the Fukushima nuclear power plant disaster? Well, the experts and the government won't tell anyone anything. However, from what we can see from the awful nuclear disaster in Chernobyl, it was concluded that around 60% of children experienced thyroid cancer, 10% of children experienced mental disorders and many children have a genetic disorders. It would be fair to conclude that this is what the residents who surround the Fukushima nuclear power plant can expect. I again pose the question, why is the government keeping quiet and why is the government not communicating this information?

The tragic events of the Fukushima nuclear power plant prove two important things. The first is that we can't control the environment and sometimes mother nature serves us a curve ball that we cannot avoid. Secondly, whenever a community is challenged with a disaster, the government will lie to us all and will never make public the severity of the disaster.
