Rig, Rad, Run: Radiation Monitoring, Fukushima, and Our Nuclear Dystopia

Synopsis

'rig, Rad, Run' Is A Hard-hitting Citizen-scientist Analysis About The U.s. Radiation Monitoring Response To The 2011 Fukushima Nuclear Disaster. The Book Shares The Author's Research Discoveries On A Wide Range Of Failures And Manipulations In The Radiation Monitoring Activities Of The Environmental Protection Agency And Other Federal Health Agencies In The Fukushima Aftermath. Because Of Better Monitoring Done Elsewhere On The Globe, The Disappointing Results Of This Weakened Or Corrupted U.s. Monitoring Data Are Clear: The U.s. Environmental Protection Agency Failed To Find In The United States Any Airborne Plutonium Emitted From The Japanese Disaster, Yet Plutonium Linked To The Nuclear Crisis Was Detected In The Air Over Lithuania In 2011. The Same Thing Happened With Radioactive Strontium--another Significant Nuclear Pollutant Associated With The Japanese Accident. While The Epa Didn't Pick Up Any Of The Stuff East Of Hawaii In The Spring Of 2011, Strontium Linked To Fukushima Was Readily Detected A Hemisphere Away Downwind--in Russia! Attributable To Faulty Federal Monitoring And Critical Weaknesses In The Epa's National Radiation Monitoring Network, Hazardous Plumes Linked To The Japanese Nuclear Disaster May Have Crossed Into The U.s. Undetected--potentially Creating Radioactive Hotspots On Land, Even Farmland.written By A Self-described 'environmental Radiation Activist,' 'rig, Rad, Run' Is A Scientific And Activist Retrospective Oriented To The World's Largest--and Ongoing--nuclear Disaster. Author Andrew Kishner Shares Many Personal And Activist Experiences Shaped By Fukushima And Prior Nuclear Events. Drawing On His Depth Of Knowledge As A Radiation Watchdog And Deep Library Researcher On The Nuclear Age, Kishner Gradually Widens The Scope Of 'rig, Rad, Run' Beyond Fukushima To Explore A Set Of Harsh And Unthinkable Realities Including A Historical Pattern Of Nuclear Lies And Manipulations In Society. In The Conclusion To This Disturbing, Visionary Book, 'rig, Rad, Run' Presents A Solution To Our Nuclear Dystopia That Will Challenge Citizens With Its Revolutionary Simplicity. This Book Is A Must-read For Anyone Interested In Preparing For Future Or Worsening Nuclear Disasters By Learning To Deconstruct Distortions Of Truth In Radiation Monitoring And Nuclear Communications.
