"Fukushima 311" Author Questions Serious 2020 Olympics Health Dangers and Calls for Radiation Tests

NEW YORK - April 2, 2019 - PRLog -- After Rikako Ikee, Japan's reigning national record holder in multiple swimming events and record-setting winner of 6 gold and 2 silver medals at the recent Asian Games was diagnosed with cancer in the form of Leukemia, author of  "Fukushima 311: Is the enduring aftermath of the Fukushima nuclear disaster killing off the Earth?" Col. Walter T. Richmond expressed his sincerest best wishes that Ikee is able to beat the disease. Richmond also revisited his health warnings surrounding the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. He said "Ikee would have been about 10 or 11 years old at the time of the original Fukushima nuclear disaster. She's also a native of Tokyo, and Japanese citizen scientists have reportedly found radioactive materials all over Japan, including Tokyo."

"Now with Olympic baseball and softball apparently scheduled to be played in a Fukushima stadium, we should all be seriously concerned," said Richmond. "I've said this before, but it hasn't been a decade since one of the worst nuclear disasters ever. And it's far from over."

Author Richmond pointed out that since "the health effects and cancers from nuclear radiation exposure can take years to manifest, chances are people won't get sick immediately, if ever. But why would anyone roll the dice on their health? The research we did for this book paints a very disturbing radioactive picture compared to the apparent marketing hype coming out of Japan."

That the authorities were often not forthcoming or transparent about the gravity of the actual crisis has Richmond equally concerned, saying, "After the anomalies we found during our Fukushima 311 research, plus the serious concerns and red flags raised by the United Nations recently, we have little faith in official claims that 'all is well' that aren't corroborated by independent outside sources. The time to ask hard questions is now, not after the 2020 Olympics."

Richmond continued, "Before the disaster, Japan had long held to a scientifically 'considered-safe' radiation level consistent with UN levels. After the Fukushima disaster, the Japanese government increased, by 1,900%, what they would consider 'safe' levels of nuclear radiation. 1,900%. Seriously. That's like saying you'll limit yourself to 1 beer with lunch since that's 'safe,' then because you're actually drinking 20 beers with each lunch, well, the new limit is 20 and now that's 'safe'...  After an irresponsible stunt like that, I'm a permanent skeptic. Even the UN officially called them out for this lunacy...And as far as sending Team USA to the 2020 Olympics without serious and thorough independent radiation tests conducted by competent scientists, well, hell no!"

Richmond ended by, yet again, calling for an impartial international team of highly-specialized scientists and doctors to determine the actual radiation safety levels in and around the 2020 Olympic facilities, in Tokyo and the Olympic ball fields in Fukushima, as well as the surrounding areas likely to be visited by athletes, guests, and spectators.
