Call for Chris Huhne to resign over Fukushima emails
A prominent Liberal Democrat has called for Chris Huhne to resign immediately as energy and climate change secretary after emails were released detailing his officials' efforts to co-ordinate a PR response to the Fukushima disaster with the nuclear industry. Civil servants in the energy and business departments were apparently trying to minimise the impact of the disaster on public support for nuclear power.
Andy Myles, the party's former chief executive in Scotland, said: "This deliberate and (sadly) very effective attempt to 'calm' the reporting of the true story of Fukushima is a terrible betrayal of liberal values. In my view it is not acceptable that a Liberal Democrat cabinet minister presides over a department deeply involved in a blatant conspiracy designed to manipulate the truth in order to protect corporate interests".

Awww yeah! Knew it all
Awww yeah!
Knew it all along but didn't know there were any heroes in the ranks. The first sip of justice!
After almost 4 months of hell, excuse me if I really enjoy this for a minute.

Hey, I have a riddle:
How many 'Health Physicists' does the field of 'Nuclear Engineering' require to 'barge in' to the field of 'medicine' and claim 'we're taking over'?
Well considering medical
Well considering medical doctors have almost zero training in anything related to nuclear matters, I would trust the health physicists. They do go to school and research the exact topic, while doctors learn to treat the body.
Does anyone know if we can
Does anyone know if we can even get privately tested? Do they test the blood and urine? What lab tests this? Is this even available to the average person?
Sorry, meant to post this

Really? Fascinating!
If the realm of 'Fukushima Fallout' (due to 'designed failure practices' by the field of Nuclear Engineering), is the field of 'Health Physicists', why aren't there tons of health physicists out 'testing people's blood and urine' across the country, in order to get accurate data on what we are dealing with? That would be a statewide and nationwide effort for the US wouldn't it? As a result of 'Distribution of Radiation through Natural Weather Patterns'?
Why instead is there only (1) health physicist necessary, to report: "We got this. We took care of it on paper. We waved the magic wand and Wallah! The 'scantiest' data is all that is necessary to preserve our method."
Answer: The REAL value of the science to industry today is the ability it gives industry to purchase it’s way out of accountability.
Has BRAWM done even a single blood test?
There could be many
There could be many scientists doing the studies right now. Most people don't announce to the world the research they are doing. Also, for BRAWM to do blood testing would be a bureaucratic nightmare since dealing with human tissue samples is always a touchy subject.
