New Panel to Probe Nuclear Disaster . TOKYO—An independent committee founded by leading experts with private funding has started investigations into the Fukushima nuclear disaster amid lingering doubts about the government's ability to uncover the causes of the accident and clarify accountability.
The group—made up of scientists, doctors, lawyers and economists—aims to look into topics that may be overlooked, or avoided, by the government's investigation committee, said Koichi Kitazawa, former head of the government's Science and Technology Agency and chairman of the committee.
"The government committee faces restrictions as it is created to serve the government's own goals," Mr. Kitazawa, a physicist, said in an interview. "People in Japan and those from abroad won't trust public announcements. Information must come from people who are free of such limitations.":-)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) online.wsj.comby Majj 11/9/2011 2:11:30 PM- From ther article below :One party that hasn't been cooperating with the independent committee is Tokyo Electric Power Co., the operator of the stricken plant. The company hasn't complied with its request for interviews with its top executives, nor for officials on the ground at the plant, according to Mr. Kitazawa, the committee chair. The company cited busy schedules due to the ongoing issues with the plant, Mr. Kitazawa said.
"I believe they will cooperate eventually as they will realize not doing so will be detrimental to their own good," he said. ;-)))by Majj 11/9/2011 2:15:12 PM - by lillymunster 11/9/2011 2:32:14 PM

Otsuka Norikazu, a TV news caster was a good Japanese. He devoted himself for the national campaign of “Let’s support north Japan by eating their food.”
He was sent to the hospital for acute lymphatic leukemia on 11/7/2011.
In the morning, he touched his neck and felt something strange. He went to the doctor.
The doctor diagnosed him to be acute lymphatic leukemia.
It is not clear the connection between his patriotic challenge and acute lymphatic leukemia.It will never be clear.
His TV show was named “Wake up TV”. He actually woke up some Japanese at the end of his career.

- @Edano - what is your take on that guy falling ill? From what I read (not serious medical literature) said that kind of leukemia is rare in adults. This is the same thing hospital workers are leaking out that they are seeing jumps in hospital cases.by lillymunster 11/9/2011 3:14:40 PM
- @lillymunster it is very rare and usually connected with exposure to radiation.by Edano 11/9/2011 3:18:46 PM
- @Edano @All: Please feel free to post entire articles, videos, etc of the links I post here. I only know how to post the links :(by MaryW 11/9/2011 3:20:37 PM
- you have to differenciate between two forms, AML and ALL. the first is more for adults (60+), the other more for younger.by Edano 11/9/2011 3:21:38 PM
- @Edano that does not look good. If they finally come to some conclusion that eating contaminated food on a regular basis can have this severe of an outcome things are going to get interesting. So far the ones I have seen have all been adults with ALL.
mycoplasmal pneumonia is the other thing going around in kids. Google says it is bacterial and contagious? So could that just be an unrelated outbreak? Maybe people more susceptible due to all the additional stress and things taking a toll on their body?
by lillymunster 11/9/2011 3:25:52 PM - there is a very rare form, called "japanese t-cell leukaemia", or adult t-cell leukaemia, caused by htlv-1 virus (hiv). nearly exclusively described in japan.by Edano 11/9/2011 3:27:39 PM
- @lillymunster mykoplasma pneumonia is a relatively mild form of pneumonia, easy to cure, but very contagious. it is often seen in schools and other facilities where people live close together. i would not relate it to radiation, but maybe to the evacuation centers. and to the lack of outdoor activities.by Edano 11/9/2011 3:32:45 PM

- The video in Japanese of Edano's admitting that Japanese food is harmful, is being translated to English, I read somewhere. Supposedly it is already translated in French.by MaryW 11/9/2011 3:36:00 PM
- @Edano ah. keeping kids crowded indoors - perfect environment for things to spread.by lillymunster 11/9/2011 3:36:24 PM
- @MaryW let us know when you find the translation, will add it to the site.by lillymunster 11/9/2011 3:36:49 PM
- @lillymunster yes, i would attribute lots of problems to that. there was a report that fukushima children did not grow so much as other kids this year. they blame the enclosed situation without avtivities for that.by Edano 11/9/2011 3:38:48 PM
- we have seen how close the beds are in the evac centres. perfect for bacterias, viruses and other.by Edano 11/9/2011 3:43:03 PM
- Does anyone know where the idea to decontaminate towns came from? I don't think they ever did anything like that post Chernobyl. Has that ever been done in public areas before?by lillymunster 11/9/2011 3:43:24 PM
- @Edano yes. Close quarters and shared spaces make things spread like wildfire. A historical reenactment event that had about 10,000 people had some GI virus like norwalk virus spread through the entire event. Close quarters, lack of modern kitchens and use of chemical toilets were thought to be the cause. They even had to call the CDC.by lillymunster 11/9/2011 3:45:06 PM

Areva unveils new nuclear plant
French energy firm Areva on Tuesday showed to the media a new nuclear power plant that it says can withstand serious accidents.
The European Pressurized Reactor is located in Olkiluoto, southwestern Finland.
Areva says no radioactive substances would leak from the reactor compound even in the case of a serious accident like the one at Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. The reactor features 4 separate emergency cooling systems.
Most of the plant's main structures are already installed. These include the reactor itself, which boasts one of the world's largest outputs of 1.6 million kilowatts, and the turbine.
Also completed is the reactor building, which has a double shell that's strong enough to withstand an aircraft crash.
The plant has been under construction since 2005. It is expected to start operations in 2014, 5 years later than originally planned due to safety concerns that have surfaced along the way.
The French government and Areva are hoping that the plant's safe launch will help sell French nuclear power generation systems to China, India and other emerging economies.

www3.nhk.or.jpby Edano via Www3.nhk.or.jp 11/9/2011 5:49:42 PM- Workers exposed to radiation at Idaho lab
At least 6 workers have been exposed to low-level radiation at a nuclear research facility in the western US state of Idaho.
In making the announcement on Tuesday, the Idaho National Laboratory denied the possibility of radioactive leakage outside the facility.
The laboratory said 17 people were working in a facility where nuclear fuel was stored on Tuesday afternoon when a container of radioactive substances accidentally opened.
The workers were rushed to a hospital. Six of them were confirmed to have been exposed to low-level radiation from plutonium-related materials.
The 17 workers remain under close observation.
The laboratory is looking into why and how the container opened.

Free rental dosimeters for pregnant women
The city government of Minamisoma in Fukushima Prefecture on Nov. 9, 2011, started a free rental service offering watch-type radiation dosimeters for pregnant women in the city. The city is located in the vicinity of the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.

- Entergy (and vermont yankee & indian pt) have insufficient decommissioning funds. Will get the NRC doc posted in a second. Entergy has been trying to get promises to let them steal any overages to the ratepayer funded trust fund for vermont yankee. Now they are behind?by lillymunster 11/9/2011 7:03:30 PM
- from the document:
The economic downturn in late 2008 caused a number of licensees, including Entergy-operated
facilities, to project shortfalls in their accumulation of decommissioning funds. The NRC staff
asked all licensees that showed a shortfall to provide a written plan of action to indicate how
they would meet their minimum funding assurance level
These funds are paid into by ratepayers. So the decommissioning funds must have lost money on the investments Entergy put the money into.by lillymunster 11/9/2011 7:06:15 PM
