IAEA wants safety checks in nuclear energy states
The International Atomic Energy Agency seeks to carry out safety checks in all member countries with nuclear power plants within three years.
The IAEA has been working on an action plan to improve global nuclear safety since the crisis began at Tokyo Electric Power's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant in March.
The latest draft compiled earlier this week says the nuclear watchdog wants to carry out safety checks in every member country with nuclear power within three years.
The draft also plans to check whether member states planning to build new plants have appropriate reactor designs and safety measures based on the requests of each country to the IAEA.
An earlier draft of the action plan included the IAEA's assessments of safety measures taken by nuclear regulators at 10-year intervals.
The latest draft plan will be discussed at a meeting of the IAEA board of governors next month, before it is presented to the general conference that begins on September 19th.

- @Edano If the IAEA gave a sheeps armpit about nuclear safety they wouldnt have fawned over tepco , there has been not one public rebuke over their handling of this nor has there been any concern shown for the people they are a shamby elainekirk 8/25/2011 12:50:00 AM

@elainekirk, the realism of the cloud formations exceeds any other dispersal simulation I've seen. But I recall the leading simulation months ago showing more steady eastward propagation. This simulation by contrast seems to pool the fallout around the pacific region and shows no sign of full around-the-world propagation, which is not only believed to've occurred, almost necessarily has and is to some extent still occurring.by Ian 8/25/2011 12:56:05 AM- @Edano we ought to try debunking some of their stuff during quiet timeby elainekirk 8/25/2011 12:58:23 AM
- @Ian the groundwater must be laden with the stuff to so the coming rains are going to impact on the oceans then it will be stirred by all the winter stormsby elainekirk 8/25/2011 12:59:54 AM
Reading through the North Anna documents.
"I have a map to show you that this is not just a matter of
academic interest because 'the North Anna plants are just 70
miles from Washington and 40 miles from Richmond. They are
right in central Virginia and Washington is in the radius of risk."by lillymunster 8/25/2011 1:29:39 AM- Oh and this one. This congressional meeting was in 1975
"Mrs Allen. Then this photograph, a closer view of the fault
itself with the reactor No. 1 loominaj above it m the background.
Those pictures just returned from Tokyo. They were borrowed tor
a broadcast there where people are worried about the relation of
faults to nuclear reactors."by lillymunster 8/25/2011 1:35:19 AM - www.dvidshub.net

I'm personally rather wary of his lack of concern over the spread and fear of contamination, and there's of course no mention of the effect of ground movement on core solidification..., but this contribution from Dr. Michio Ishikawa (Chief Adviser, Japan Nuclear Technology Institute) evaluates the effect of the water pouring on core cooling - Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station: Passage to Core Solidification: www.gengikyo.jp
"The size of the molten core must be about 4 meters in diameter. Imagine a thousand kilowatts of heat contained in a space the size of an 8-tatami mats room. If it is a traditional Japanese room, it will burn down in no time. The current cooling system simply pours water on the core. Step 2 is nothing more than introducing recirculated water, with no stepped-up cooling action for solidifying the molten core.
However, the use of the recirculating system has the advantage of reducing contaminated water. Heat of one thousand kilowatt per hour vaporizes 1.5 tons of water.
The cooling of three affected plants should reduce approx. 4 tons of contaminated water per hour. Based on this calculation, 100,000 tons of contaminated water currently on the site should all vaporize in 3 years."by es 8/25/2011 1:40:20 AM- If I keep reading this report I am going to need a drink or something.
"In 1974, an Atomic Safety and Licensing Board ruled the North
Anna site safe, despite the following admissions of ignorance by
the AEC staff, and I think the record will support these.
The extent of the faulting beneath the reactors is not known.
The extent of faulting beneath the dam and Lake Anna is not
known, and that is key, as I am sure you know, because the water
at artificial Lake Anna provides the cooling for the reactors, most
essential."by lillymunster 8/25/2011 1:45:39 AM 
@Cryptococcus My brother works in the supplement industry. As a supporter of the rational use of supplements, his group debunks fallacious herbology as well as promoting useful. I flagged the article for him, got an instant disparaging comment about the "health ranger", then a comment that "it's not a bad list of antioxidants, but there's nothing new there, or better as an antioxidant than taking vitamin C through out the day."
He hasn't had time to work anything up on it, but I toss him these for vetting when I see them.by RadioGuy 8/25/2011 2:18:06 AM
@Lilly lol you're quoting all the things that made my blood boil when I found them. Way ahead of ya on the drink.by Panserbjorne9 8/25/2011 2:30:19 AM- @Panserbjorne9 LOL. I should be jaded by now but we keep finding things like this.by lillymunster 8/25/2011 2:43:19 AM

- After reading the documents found today on N. Anna I think Old Dominion/VEPCO is just as delusional as TEPCO. They are still trying to get permission to build another reactor at N. Anna on a known fault line.by lillymunster 8/25/2011 3:13:47 AM
@RadioGuy I agree with your brother. Find really skilled and well trained holistic practitioners. Don't waste your money and health on junk fads. If he finds a good site, let us know.by Cryptococcus 8/25/2011 3:15:59 AM- Nite all, off to get some sleepby lillymunster 8/25/2011 3:29:05 AM
@es TANKS FOR THE LINK. As I sad , the contamination is :.... they are talking about the Pacific Ocean 800 kilometers east of the Fukushima coast..... :-((((((((((((((by Majj 8/25/2011 3:30:31 AM- Just had another jolt in Maryland. Maybe a 4 mag quake.by Ian 8/25/2011 5:09:56 AM

- @Panserbjorne9, yeah... Woh! was that caused by this joint or a jolt. %^)by Ian 8/25/2011 5:33:10 AM

A federal commission announced approval Wednesday for a uranium enrichment plant in southeastern New Mexico to begin operating more of its massive processing system, which would double the facility's capacity to process nuclear fuel.
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission has authorized Urenco USA and subsidiary Louisiana Energy Services to bring online two additional sequential enrichment systems, known as cascades. Although Urenco is tightlipped about its technology and its customers, the enriched uranium it produces can be used to supply fuel for nuclear power plants domestically and overseas.by RadioGuy 8/25/2011 6:25:06 AM
