Kyushu Electric Power destroyed documents on pluthermal plant proposal, panel claims. FUKUOKA -- The deputy chief of Kyushu Electric Power Co.'s nuclear power generation headquarters ordered documents on a pluthermal nuclear power project destroyed in connection with a campaign to realize the restart of reactors at the Genkai Nuclear Power Plant in Saga Prefecture, an investigative panel has found.
Nobuo Gohara, head of the utility's third-party panel investigating the case, told a news conference in Fukuoka on Aug. 9 that Akira Nakamura, the deputy chief of Kyushu Electric's nuclear power generation headquarters, instructed the destruction of the documents stored at the firm's nuclear power headquarters and Saga branch. mdn.mainichi.jpby Majj 8/10/2011 11:44:34 AM

Japan-India tariffs die as FTA kicks in
Kyodo
A free-trade agreement between Japan and India entered into force Monday, ending tariffs on goods that account for 94 percent of their trade flow over 10 years.
The FTA, which the two officially cemented last October, is Tokyo's 12th bilateral FTA and offers Japanese firms a chance to gain a better footing in the rapidly emerging economy, which has a population of 1.2 billion.
Tariffs on goods exported to India, including auto parts, steel products, peaches and persimmons, will be scrapped over the next five to 10 years.
Tariffs on goods imported from India will be eliminated, including those on nearly all manufactured products, curry powder and tea leaves, but tariffs on wheat, beef and pork will stay in place. search.japantimes.co.jpby Majj 8/10/2011 11:54:50 AM - You can't make this stuff up. :-)by lillymunster 8/10/2011 11:56:02 AM

- Do I Dare to Eat a Peach? Fukushima Citizens and Farmers Struggle with Food Safety
all it slipper security. To get clearance into the food radiation testing center at Fukushima Agricultural Technology Center, you have to change shoes three times. The first time, you get a black pair. The second time, after your heels are scanned by a Geiger counter and deemed radiation-free, you change into a pair of plastic house shoes emblazoned with a yellow nuclear symbol. And finally, before entering the testing lab itself, the indoor footwear urgency rating is kicked up a notch with a red nuclear label.
No precaution is too small when the eyes of the nation are on you. Since June 20, local government officials have been trying to make sure every kind of food grown, slaughtered or caught on a line in Fukushima prefecture has been brought to this laboratory to be tested for iodine 131 and cesium 137 and 134. All three radioactive elements were spewed into the atmosphere after the explosions at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant in March, settling across the bucolic countryside surrounding the plant in a tasteless, odorless and potentially toxic dust. The exact amount and degree of the contamination is still unknown, but the radiation has shown up in local foods like shitake mushrooms, bamboo shoots, fish, beef, and spinach, among others.

- @lillymunster Each year, Intellectual Ventures receives tens of thousands of invention submissions for review. On average, IV accepts less than 10% of all patented inventions sent to us.
