TOKYO IS RADIOACTIVE-MOVE THE 2020 OLYMPICS

  • by: Carol Wolman
  • recipient: International Olympic Committee and all IOC members

According to recent reports- see below- the March 2011 catastrophic meltdown of 3 nuclear reactors in Fukushima Japan continues to contaminate a wide area, including Tokyo.   Athletes, their families and fans, need to be protected from radiation, which causes cancer, birth defects and abortions.

Sept 2016-  Former premier Junichiro Koizumi said that Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's promise that the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant was "under control" in his successful pitch three years ago for Tokyo to host the 2020 Olympic Games "was a lie".

July 2016- Arnie Gundersen, nuclear engineer, found that Tokyo remains contaminated. He measured dust… and found a high dose of radiation. That dust is in the air that will be inhaled by the visitors and athletes of the 2020 Olympics.

Mr. Gundersen noted: the decontaminated land is contaminated again.  The radiation from the mountains is coming back to the city by way of wind and rain,  from the extreme radioactive contamination of the mountains… vegetables grown in that area exceed the government’s standard by 1500 Bq.

February 2016- Dr. Mita, a Japanese physician says " Tokyo should be evacuated. Much Of Japan, Including Tokyo Is Radiation Contaminated After The Fukushima Mega Nuclear Disaster; Water, Sewage Sludge, Ground, Forests."

We the undersigned ask the International Olympic Committee to move the 2020 Summer Games now, while there is still time to find another venue. 

Signers: please spread widely.  Email your national Olympic committee- https://www.olympic.org/national-olympic-committees

Periodic releases of radioactive material into the air spread all over northern Japan, including Tokyo.

Mycle Schneider, nuclear energy consultant: ...Fukushima ...can become much worse,..This accident is ongoing,.three years now. There are continuous leaks of radioactivity in the environment because the radioactive inventory is not stabilised. It’s an unprecedented event in complexity, in size and in consequences. The biggest problem is that the methodology chosen by Tepco and the Japanese government appears inappropriate.
Update #19 years ago
In 6/17/2014, the chairman of 2020 Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee, Mori announced they are going to consider supporting Fukushima prefecture to fight against harmful rumor.
They are going to support Fukushima prefectural government to attract the training camp of foreign athletes and also program most of the Olympic-torch relay course in Fukushima.
