A British nuclear expert has told The First Post that the explosion at the Fukushima I nuclear plant looks likely to be a "significant nuclear event" with a bigger impact on public health than the 1979 meltdown at Three Mile Island.

John Large, who has been a nuclear analyst since the mid-1960s and is a Fellow of the Royal Society, says the Japanese government may be significantly downplaying the seriousness of the accident – and he believes it could have far-reaching consequences for the nuclear industry worldwide.

What damage was caused?

The blast tore the roof off the building and damaged surrounding walls. Four workers were injured. Japanese authorities told the International Atomic Energy Authority that the explosion happened outside the reactor's primary containment vessel, which appears to be intact.

What is the radiation risk?

Japan's Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency (Nisa) reported higher levels of radiation around the power station over the weekend and the presence of caesium-137 and iodine-131 in the air. These are radioactive isotopes produced in fission reactions. The isotopes were released when steam was vented from the reactor.

Radiation monitors around the site recorded a radiation level of 500 microSieverts per hour on Saturday afternoon, a quarter of the annual dose the general population is exposed to due to natural background radiation. The level of radiation at the power station's main gate fell on Sunday to a very low level of 3.2 microSieverts.

Fukushima I is just 40 miles from the epicentre of the closest of 248 separate seismic shocks which have taken place in the past week off the coast of Japan. A 'boiling water' plant, it has six reactors.

Dramatic footage of an explosion at the plant's No 1 reactor on Saturday has commanded global attention. Now the Japanese government says it is fighting to prevent a second meltdown at No 3 reactor.

Meanwhile, sister plant Fukushima II, which is just 11km further away from the earthquake epicentre, is also in trouble. Cooling systems have broken at three of its four reactors – and at least one reactor has failed.

Efforts are underway to evacuate 210,000 people living within 20km of Fukushima I. Earlier, on Friday, 2,800 people were taken from their homes by coach.

When will the power station be safe?

The strategy of pumping sea water into nuclear reactors is untested. It could take several days to bring the temperature and pressure of the reactor cores down to within safe limits.

If the cooling fails, the reactors could overheat and cause a total meltdown of the radioactive fuel rods in the core. This would only lead to a major release of radiation if the reactor's containment vessel was breached.

The Japanese authorities have classified the sitiuation as a level 4 "accident with local consequences" on the International Nuclear and Radiological Event Scale (INES). The scale runs from zero for a deviation in normal operations to seven for a major accident. The Three Mile Island incident in 1979 was a five and Chernobyl in 1986 was a seven on the scale.

For all the food fanatics out there, traveling is essential, if you want to taste everything the world has to offer. That is why I have rounded up the most resounding symphonies of flavor, the most colorful dishes and the tasties bites. Here is your guide to the fascinating, international cuisines.

Starting with the Middle Ages that brought rich banquets to the French Revolution, where refined techniques were used, French Cuisine can be called in the 21st century “haute cuisine”. It is as popular as the poetry or French arts, a meal at a restaurant comparing to “a sort of theatre you can eat”. Pastries are a large part of French cooking. Cheese and wine are also a major part of the cuisine, being perhaps the most famous of all. The modern restaurant has its roots in French culture so restaurants are bountiful, but as for recommendation before deciding on one. In Paris alone, there are over 5,000 places to eat, with prices and menus to suit anyone’s taste

They proved that it is more healthy plant fruit juices and anti Village, the Village is packed with compounds and more than good nutrition provides food experts first thought.

Scientists cocoa powder, acai berries, blueberries, cranberries and fruits like pomegranate powder made from raw ingredient of chocolate, than based on their findings, the Daily Express reported.



Research in dark chocolate, containing around 60 per cent cocoa and cocoa drinks have found that they had very high antioxidant activity and more flavanols - fruit - health giving plant chemicals. Search means the cocoa beans to meet the criteria required for fruit nutrition health and nutrition in the U.S. according to scientists at the Hershey Centre "super fruit" to be classified as.

"Dark chocolate just as the compounds in the fruit are plant compounds as well. Cacao seeds 'super fruit' and cocoa products derived from seeds should be considered as natural cocoa powder and dark chocolate extracts, as "super foods" lead scientist Debra Miller, "he said.


However, the conclusion is the fact that my favorite is high in fat and sugar does not change, meaning that diet experts say that less palatable foods such as brown rice and pulses should be balanced with, say scientists.


"Dark chocolate is the avocado which is a high fat content, calories you need things such as more liberal side of a tropical fruit should be considered. Dr. Miller said, but people drink and the calories without the benefit Find Cocoa-rich food can make.

To date it is considered good breakfast the morning you fresh day - fresh places. On a U.S. research scientist and sex counselor Dr. Debbie Herbenik said the day - morning sex the most beneficial for health. According to Dr. Debbie, people understand that the beginning of the morning with a cup of good tea remains great. But, should start the day with a morning sex, his health will be more than good.

The World Cancer Day was observed in the country on Friday as elsewhere around the world to raise awareness on cancer and its prevention.

The theme of World Cancer Day this year is “Teach children and teenagers to avoid ultra violet (UV) exposure by being Sun Smart.”

In observance of the day different social organisations arranged various programmes.

Centre for Cancer Prevention and Research (CCPR) organised a daylong free camp for detection and treatment of cancer at its Gazipur Cancer Hospital located at Chandona Chowrasta.

Prevention estimates announced today, World Cancer Day, by the American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR) and World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) show that by eating a varied and healthy diet, undertaking regular physical activity, being at a healthy weight and limiting alcohol intake, as many as 340,000 cases of cancer in United States could be prevented each year.

A team from National Institute of Cancer Research and Hospital (NICRH), led by Dr Md Habibullah Talukder Ruskin, associate professor and head of Cancer Epidemiology, provided consultation free of cost at the camp from 10:00am to 3:00pm.

Assistant Prof Dr Afroza Khanom Rumu of Gynae Oncology, Surgical Oncologist Md Hasanuzzaman and Dr Yesmin Sultana of the NICRH are the other members of the medical team, says a CCPR press release.

Diganta Memorial Cancer Foundation brought out a procession from in front of the National Press Club. Its Chairman Justice Mohammad Abdur Rouf headed the rally, UNB adds.

People from all strata of life including health professionals, educationists and policymakers joined the procession.

These findings are further supported by the World Health Organization's (WHO) new Global Recommendations on Physical Activity for Health. This landmark report reinforces the AICR/WCRF conclusion that regular physical activity can prevent many diseases such as breast and colon cancers, cardiovascular diseases, and diabetes. The report provides concrete recommendations for levels of physical activity needed for health at three ages (5-17 years, 18-64 years, and over age 65); these recommendations are especially helpful for low- and middle-income countries, where few national guidelines for physical inactivity exist.

Cancer is a leading cause of death around the world. World Health Organisation (WHO) estimates that some 84 million people will die of cancer between 2005 and 2015 around the world. In 2007, there were 7.9 million deaths from cancer, around 13 percent of all deaths.

Each year on February 4, WHO joins the sponsoring International Union against Cancer to promote ways to ease the global burden of the disease. Preventing cancer and raising quality of life for cancer patients are recurring themes of the day.

At present, there are one million cancer patients in Bangladesh while approximately 200,000 new patients, mostly women, are added every year creating a social burden on the country.

The country’s women are now in danger of being affected by cervical cancer, one of the sexually transmitted diseases that claim the life of 18 women every day in the country for lack of awareness.

Anxiety disorders, heart attack, stroke, heart failure in people with heart disease and increase the risk of death.

Anxiety is common in patients with heart disease, but studies examining the effect of anxiety on cardiovascular prognosis has thrown up conflicting results. Assess the impact on heart disease, generalized anxiety disorder, anxiety disorder researchers for stable coronary artery disease who were evaluated at baseline and diagnostic interviews with using 1015 for almost six years after the U.S. followed.

Study, conducted by Elizabeth J. Martens, Ph.D., Tilburg, Tilburg, Netherlands University, and colleagues found that anxiety disorders 74 per cent risk of cardiovascular events was associated with an increase of cardiovascular events.

In 2009, Uusimaa region has been at the heart of swine flu situation, and this year the monsoon months in more than 200 cases have been reported already.

They interact and the spread of infection, public health workers against swine influenza remains high risk of innoculating an essential element of the Department of Health later spread of the virus under control.

However, health authorities, to which the swine flu have intensified campaign to prevent a sudden obstacle for many public health workers to hit is forbidden from taking the vaccine against swine flu.

Municipal and school district officials a fever, the Health Ministry to children can give them the time to Tamiflu have been invited, an official said.

The State Government has bought the state H1N1 vaccination did last year. Centre 15 million doses of H1N1 vaccine, a French drug maker Sanofi Pasteur in December for the commission's most high-risk group for doctors are.

However, doubts over its effectiveness and possible side effects, doctors, the government has refused to take the vaccine, officials said.

Member States such as Gujarat and Tamil Nadu as well as under the radar of swine flu, public health professionals have seen more than 90 percent of vaccine. It is considered one of the main reasons why the center increasingly impatient Uusimaa refuses to run. Also, the vaccine expires in October
