The Horrible Truth About Fukushima - Helen Caldicott, MD

Author and Pediatrician Helen Caldicott discusses the unfolding events at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power station in Japan.

Fukushima was devastated by a massive earthquake on March 11, 2011 which led directly to a massive failure causing hydrogen explosions which blew the roof off of at least two of the reactor buildings.

Tepco and the Japanese government have understated the radiation dangers and the dire reality of the situation, from day one.

Helen says, at this point there is no "best case scenario" for Fukushima, just worsening degrees of horror because it's scientifically impossible to clean up what has already occurred.

And with thousands of spent fuel rods and thousands more active rods still in the fuel pools of the damaged reactor buildings, the worst case scenario - if another major earthquake hits the area - is an ecological nightmare of biblical proportions for everyone living in the Northern hemisphere.
