Radiation Level Soar As Radio Active Winds Sweep Toward Tokyo
It is now openly admitted that radio activity has reached dangerous levels in the area. There is now a 20 mile diameter perimeter (HIGH-RAD- AREA) established around the Fukushima reactor.
Local weather patterns are reported to have now changed course to a southerly direction sweeping nuclear winds toward Tokyo as locals fear radiation poisoning.
Moscow has reported a spike in sales of gieger counters and iodine pills are reportedly hard to get as prices rise.

Chernobyl clean-up expert slams Japan, IAEA
Greed in the nuclear industry and corporate influence over the U.N. watchdog for atomic energy may doom Japan to a spreading nuclear disaster, one of the men brought in to clean up Chernobyl said on Tuesday.
Slamming the Japanese response at Fukushima, Russian nuclear accident specialist Iouli Andreev accused corporations and the United Nations' International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) of willfully ignoring lessons from the world's worst nuclear accident 25 years ago to protect the industry's expansion.
Is the Japan disaster being downplayed to save the US stock market?

Official: Japan's nuclear situation nearing severity of ChernobylThe explosion Tuesday at Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant has elevated the situation there to a "serious accident" on a level just below Chernobyl, a French nuclear official said, referring to an international scale that rates the severity of such incidents.
Potassium Iodide protects thyroid and glandular system from radiati...
In the aftermath of Japan's nuclear catastrophe and the fear that winds could blow radiation into the west coast of North America, there has been a sudden rush on potassium iodide, which helps protect your glandular system from radiation poisoning if you're exposed. The Japanese government is handing out this supplement in huge quantities to the survivors north of Tokyo, and here at NaturalNews, we've received a flurry of requests from people wanting to know where they can find available supplies of potassium iodide.
These "radiation pills" are being sold out everywhere. NukePills.com says they were completely sold out over the weekend.

Winds chase evacuees in Japan; Hawaii threatened by Fukushima fallout
In a deepening tragedy, after an earthquake and tsunami caused four explosions at nuclear reactor plants in Japan, most of those who evacuated the area headed south, since winds normally would have pushed the radioactive clouds to the north and east. Instead, winds pushed the r-clouds south, according to The Australian. The shift in winds now threatens Hawaii with fallout from the Fukushima nuclear facilities.
Japanese PM says blast at stricken plant causes radiation leak, rad...
Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan said on Tuesday that radioactive levels have become high around an earthquake-stricken nuclear power plant following a hydrogen explosion at the site and there was a high risk of radiation leaking into the atmosphere.
In a nationally televised address to the public, the prime minister urged people within 30 kilometers of the facility, located about 220 kilometers north of Tokyo, to remain indoors, not to collect washings hanging outside and to switch off air- conditioners to avoid air exchange with airborne radioactive substances.
Censored reports of workers deserting Fukushima?
Translation of Italian live report:
Correspondent:
Well, first I have to report something I've just seen myself on our monitor that displays the Japanese state TV channel NHK. There has been a quite disagreeable event that probably says a lot about the degree of tension. A speaker of Japanese national TV gave out the news that already has been circulation on the web, that the Fukushima plant has been left at this hour by the employees in a general scramble to flee away. She[*] read this news and was then -- probably by a senior, an older colleague who said over the open mike: "this is a news bulletin that was not supposed to be read on the air" -- was then countered and blocked live on the air. That conveys a bit of how tense the situation is. The Prime Minister has had to blow off the press conference he had announced after meeting with the opposition, which by the way continues to vehemently pursue a vote of non-confidence against the government, which we think is not appropriate at the moment. The second thing is the secrecy around this power plant. We're not able to provide you with information about this, because since this morning we've been trying to get to this power plant that is 200-220 kilometers from Tokyo, and we're still 30-40 km away from it, we can't get any closer, we can only advance at a pedestrian velocity, and our navigation device tells us that we risk being blocked at the checkpoints where they refuse access to all cars -- we hope they will at least let the journalists through.

America on radiation alert: Japan faces world's worst nuclear accid...
Fears that America could be hit by the nuclear fallout from the Japan earthquake have dramatically increased as workers prepared to abandon a reactor crippled by the earthquake and tsunami last night in the face of what is set to become the world's second worst nuclear disaster - topped only by Chernobyl.
Damage at the number two reactor at the crippled Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power complex is worse than thought, the Japanese government admitted tonight, sparking fears for human health both in Japan and the U.S.
