@Panserbjorne9 thank last nights reports said it was empty

Can anyone not acces my Unit-3 report here: iangoddard.com Please try to click on the first entry below the embedded video iangoddard.com . I can get everything on my site except my Unit-3 report, the page and even the thumbnail for that report appear to be selectively affected.

The astrick on the NIH message about simplyinfo.org reads:
*Note: NIH uses a web-filtering program to determine if a web site is “a security threat or inappropriate for government use.” This determination is in accordance with the HHS Minimum Security Configuration Standards for Departmental Operating Systems and Applications and the NIH policy entitled Limited Authorized Personal Use of NIH Information Technology Policy.

@Ian, no problems! I opend it.

@Ian we are censored !!! :)

@Ian are you in china or usa ? (sarcastic)
by Edano 10/14/2011 6:19:28 PM

@Edano censored?? wow
by elainekirk 10/14/2011 6:45:34 PM

@elainekirk @Liz, my report iangoddard.com If you can get it, it's really odd then that I can't get it here (even the thumbnail is selectively blocked), but don't get the message I get when I try to access a simplyinfo.org page. I wonder if the U.S. Federal Government or just NIH has impossed a sweeping censor over content with 'Fukushima' in the title.
by Ian 10/14/2011 6:48:43 PM

@elainekirk, yes, simplyinfo.org is expressly censored from any computer at the NIH, as I quoted below.
by Ian 10/14/2011 6:48:46 PM

@elainekirk, was it my report that you can access? If so, it's really amazing how everyfile assocaited with it is selectively blocked from the NIH, but not any other files on my site.

Does sound very strange @Ian

LOS ALAMOS, N.M. (AP) - Los Alamos National Laboratory is moving forward with plans to build a controversial $5.8 billion nuclear lab.
The National Nuclear Security Administration Thursday issued the formal orders needed to begin taking bids for final design and construction of the lab, called the Chemistry and Metallurgy Research Replacement Nuclear Facility.
The lab will replace a 60-year-old facility that sits on a fault line. It's a project that has been on the drawing board for decades, and one that won't likely be finished for close to another decade.
Critics have lined up against the proposal, arguing it is an unnecessary and outrageously priced bomb factory. But lab officials insist nuclear weapons will neither be made nor stored there. They say CMRR's mission is to analyze and understand nuclear elements.

I'd suggest we try to see how widespread this blockade is. We should all test accessibility to simplyinfo.org via local libraries and institutions, espcially government facilities.
Legal and ethical issues about censorship is expressly about government censorship, for example people can censor their own websites and journals. So the NIH censoring simplyinfo.org and possibly Fukushima informatin per se is government censorship.

New crack found at Davis-Besse nuclear plant
Flaw on outside of containment building will be reviewed before reactor restarts
OAK HARBOR (AP) -- Contractors replacing the cracked reactor head at a northern Ohio nuclear plant have discovered a small crack in the thick concrete on the outside of the reactor's containment building.
Federal regulators and the plant's owner are reviewing whether the crack is a serious issue for the Davis-Besse.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission spokeswoman Viktoria Mytling tells The Plain Dealer of Cleveland the matter will need to be resolved before the reactor is restarted.
Akron-based FirstEnergy Corp. shut down the plant almost two weeks ago so the new 82-ton reactor head could be installed.
The building's concrete shell 2 1/2 feet deep is meant to protect the reactor from tornado debris, an aircraft or anything else that might hit it from outside.

Iran to build high capacity power plants
Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman says Majlis (Parliament) has given the go-ahead for building 20,000 MW nuclear power plants to meet the country's growing electricity demand.
“We welcome any country that wants to sign contract for building nuclear power plants [in Iran] based on our conditions,” Ramin Mehmanparast told the Voice of Russia radio on Friday.
He added that the newly commissioned Bushehr nuclear power plant only generates 1,000 MW of electricity and Iran needs to do more in this area.
“The launch of Bushehr nuclear power plant has prepared the grounds for Russian cooperation in Iranian projects,” he added.
Mehmanparast said that the injustice prevailing in the world is the result of a few countries trying to impose their will and policies on other states and to own the world.
“But we believe that all countries must participate in global management and every country must have a share in establishing an equitable world system in proportion to their status and importance,” he added.

@Liz no country should be thought of as more important these people in all nations where they seek such power frighten me
by elainekirk 10/14/2011 7:49:38 PM

They dont understand @elainekirk, they think having nnp is a symbol of pestige and importance.
by Liz 10/14/2011 7:54:49 PM

@Liz Oh My they are out of their minds. Is there even a current design that is of that MW capacity?
by lillymunster 10/14/2011 7:56:37 PM

Um WTH is the NIH censoring us? Let me go talk to the government IT guy. I CAN get to the bottom of this...
by lillymunster 10/14/2011 7:59:36 PM

@elainekirk, looks like India is wanting 63 000 MW! India to add 20,000 MW nuclear power capacity by 2020
PUNE: India has chalked out a largely indigenous nuclear power programme and expects to have 20,000 MW nuclear capacity on line by 2020 and 63,000 MW by 2032. Foreign technology and fuel are expected to boost India's nuclear power plans considerably.

@Ian I found simplyinfo.org was blocked over at Sanford Hospital www.sanfordhealth.org - I had to send a nastygram to their admin asking them to unblock it. It meant I couldn't work all day while I sat waiting for the hubby to be out of surgery.
by lillymunster 10/14/2011 8:04:57 PM

@Liz are these total capacity or mega-reactors?
by lillymunster 10/14/2011 8:05:31 PM

@Liz I am going just nip out kick a brick
by elainekirk 10/14/2011 8:06:04 PM

Have fun @elainekirk. I dont know lillimunster. I think its alot of hot air.
by Liz 10/14/2011 8:12:04 PM

@Liz maybe they are hoping for some "free lunch" since most other countries have gone off nuclear and the nuke construction companies are looking for work.
by lillymunster 10/14/2011 8:14:18 PM

I was thinking that too

Noticed this on an article about Oyster Creek and I remember reading an NRC complaint about this. The sand bed under the containment steel was holding in water that was then corroding the steel containment bulb. They hadn't said why it was happening. Makes me wonder if the ones at Fuku could have had the same problem.

"Exelon had applied a strong coating material to the liner and removed a sand bed at the base of the reactor that was found to hold moisture that caused the corrosion."
by lillymunster 10/14/2011 9:12:01 PM

Dismantling Oyster Creek right now might give the opportunity to do some forensic testing on BWR aging.
by lillymunster 10/14/2011 9:15:13 PM

@lillymunster but maybe the 'sand bed caused corrosion' 'finding' is in there to explain it away as unique to oyster just like the tsunami was unique as was tmi as was chernobyl....

"Then came the test result: the level of radioactive cesium in a patch of dirt just meters from where his 11-year-old son, Koshiro, played baseball was equal to those in some contaminated areas around Chernobyl." (from that article)

@Panserbjorne9 they will have to find a l'ill old lady a house on stilts and goodness how will the bottles be discovered? oh I know they were in the chimney
by elainekirk 10/14/2011 9:34:13 PM

@elainekirk LOL. Peter mentioned hot spots around Belarus. It would be interesting if there is any documentation how and where those hot spots developed. Might give some clue about where they are going to end up in Japan,
by lillymunster 10/14/2011 9:36:08 PM

@Ian @lillymunster : don't you remember the japanese appeal to block any media from spreading "unfounded rumors" ? i guess they had some success on the diplomatic level. btw wikileaks is also censored by official US servers. freedom is dead.
by Edano 10/14/2011 9:36:43 PM

@Edano it would appear so
by elainekirk 10/14/2011 9:45:41 PM

@Edano It is only the NIH doing it. I had the hubby check via work computers at the VA and simplyinfo.org loaded just fine. It must be something the NIH is running on either their computers or just on the library computers.
