Three reactors melted down after quake -- the truth is finally coming out

The entire world has been exposed to far more radiation than was admitted to.  As physicist Michio Kaku says, "The effects were 500 times worse than Chernobyl."  But we're not hearing much about the radiation exposure in our mainstream news, are we?  In fact, it has been played down, in order to calm the public.  Do you think we have been told the truth?  Really?  Read the following before you make up your mind...

EXCERPT:

The earthquake and tsunami knocked out cooling systems at Fukushima Daiichi, causing the three operating reactors to overheat. That compounded a natural disaster by spewing radioactive material into the atmosphere.

Tokyo Electric avoided using the term "meltdown," and says it was keeping the remnants of the core cool. But U.S. experts interviewed by CNN after the company's announcement in May said that while it may have been containing the situation, the damage had already been done.

"On the basis of what they showed, if there's not fuel left in the core, I don't know what it is other than a complete meltdown," said Gary Was, a University of Michigan nuclear engineering professor and CNN consultant. And given the damage reported at the other units, "It's hard to imagine the scenarios can differ that much for those reactors."

A massive hydrogen explosion -- a symptom of the reactor's overheating -- blew the roof off the No. 1 unit the day after the earthquake, and another hydrogen blast ripped apart the No. 3 reactor building two days later. A suspected hydrogen detonation within the No. 2 reactor is believed to have damaged that unit on March 15.

This could move into a tragedy far beyond Chernobyl creating permanent dead zones in Japan.
