Just Like The Gulf Extinction Event

Out of sight, out of mind. Ignore the problem and it ain't there. All starting to look like a planned population cull.
If so, or, if this is plain negligence or stupidity or a way not to threaten the trillion dollar nuclear energy industry, rope and lamp posts.

Feds Abandon Extra Radiation Monitoring of Milk, Water - Routine measurements will resume; nuclear expert calls decision "staggering"

The U.S. government has abandoned efforts to monitor elevated levels of radiation that infiltrated the nation’s water and milk in the wake of a nuclear catastrophe in Japan.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has faced stiff criticism for its slow and spotty monitoring of radioactive iodine, cesium and other materials that were ejected into the atmosphere after the Fukushima nuclear power plant was struck by a tsunami in early March. The material fell on the United States in rainwater and was ingested by cows, which passed it through into their milk.

Radiation levels in some milk and rain samples have exceeded normal long-term federal drinking water standards, but EPA officials have described the levels as almost completely safe. Anti-nuclear power activists have accused the federal government of downplaying the health risks in an effort to protect the nuclear power industry and predicted that the radioactive isotopes will lead to a rash of cancers.

Now, less than two months after the nuclear disaster began to unfold, the EPA is abandoning most of its additional radiation monitoring activities. Recent monitoring has continued to detect the radiation in the North American environment, though at declining levels.

“Due to the consistent decrease in radiation levels across the country associated with the Japanese nuclear incident,” the agency said in a statement Thursday, “EPA has returned to the routine RadNet sampling and analysis process for precipitation, drinking water and milk.”

That means that the agency will return to testing radiation levels in rainwater, drinking water and milk every three months. The next such tests are planned in August.
