@Edano will save the health ministry site and the hematology group as links in the library and ask around as I can if anyone in JP knows where we might get new stats so we don't have to wait months

This is of of the subject here but... Man-made super-flu could kill half humanity. A virus with the potential to kill up to half the world’s population has been made in a lab. Now academics and bioterrorism experts are arguing over whether to publish the recipe, and whether the research should have been done in the first place.
The virus is an H5N1 bird flu strain which was genetically altered to become much more contagious. It was created by Ron Fouchier of the Erasmus Medical Centre in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, who first presented his work to the public at an influenza conference in Malta in September.
Fouchier said the strain circulates in animals, particularly birds, but rarely affects humans.
In the ten or so years since bird flu first emerged in Asia, fewer than 600 cases have been reported in humans. But the H5N1 strain is particularly vicious, killing roughly half of patients diagnosed with it. What stops it from becoming a major threat to public health is that it does not readily transmit from human to human. Or at least it didn’t – until now. rt.com

i found a nice video about the japanese anti-nuke movement.....
by Edano 11/29/2011 12:34:16 AM

Preliminary version of the documentary
Synopsis:
Can pigs fly? tells the story of the Japanese No-Nuke-Movement from its beginning in the 1950ies through the reaction in Japan to the Tschernobyl Melt-Down and the accident in Tokaimura in 1999 to the recent desaster of the Fukushima breakdown. Through examples the film shows the attempts of protest like the one of surfers against the Nuclear Industry Complex of Rokkasho and the resistance of 20 years and still ongoing protest of the fishers of Iwaishima against the not yet build Kaminoseki Nuclear Power Plant. Activists and a scientist on social movements analyze the strategies of the Nuclear Industry and the Japanese Government to pacify or suppress protest through bribing people in the poor rural areas of Japan with money or job opportunities. The struggle is also compared to other Social Movements in Japan like the one against Narita Airport near Tokyo and the one against the US-Military Bases in Japan. The film also briefly touches the question of Nuclear Weapons in Japan and why the Japanese society has (had) not much interest in the Nuclear question. The documentary ends with pictures of the protests of the old and new No-Nuke Movement in the post-Fukushima era. www.youtube.com

The sound of an apparent explosion was heard from Iran's Isfahan city on Monday afternoon, the head of the judiciary in the province said, according to Iran's ISNA news agency.
"In the afternoon, there was a noise like an explosion, but we don't have any information from security forces on the source of the noise," Gholamreza Ansari was quoted as saying.
An important Iranian nuclear facility involved in processing uranium is located near Isfahan city, although Iranian media reports of the incident did not say whether the explosion was near the nuclear center.http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/11/28/us-iran-blast-reports-idUSTRE7AR1SD20111128

Found more on the tritium for warheads program in the US. As of 2005 Watts Bar NPP and Sequoyah are approved to install tritium creating rods in their fuel cycles. As of 2005 the US is pulling tritium out of Watts Bar, taking to Savannah river and using for warhead replenishment www.nrc.gov

Oh. yes. was planning on doing something with it.
by lillymunster 11/29/2011 1:42:40 AM

i thought so :)
by Edano 11/29/2011 1:43:18 AM

Watts Bar has a big tritium leak problem, the US is using a loophole to violate international agreements on civilian-military reactor use and is producing more tritium than actually needed. orepa.org
by lillymunster 11/29/2011 1:50:59 AM

At the same time Watts Bar started running tritium creating rods in 2005 there was also a massive tritium leak found there. abcnews.go.com

WOOT!
BREAKING NEWS: THE GOVERNMENT OF FUKUSHIMA WILL BE GRANTING ZONE PERMITS FOR ANIMAL RESCUE GROUPS TO ENTER THE EXCLUSION ZONE IF THEY MEET THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA: THEY HAVE PET OWNERS LOOKING FOR THEIR PETS, THEY OWN THEIR OWN SHELTERS, THEY DO NOT INTERFERE WITH THE GOVERNMENTS WORK AND IF THEY PROVIDE A RESCUE PLAN BEFORE ENTRANCE. Please continue to send your visual petitions to nancy@hachiko-coalition.org Thank you!
People have warned to wait until the govt makes more concrete promises or something on paper but a good start in the direction of such.

TEPCO says no explosion occurred at No.2 reactor

The operator of the damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant says there was no explosion at the No. 2 reactor, denying an earlier report that there was. But the company says it is still unable to determine how and why radioactive substances were released from the reactor.

NHK has obtained Tokyo Electric Power Company's interim report on the nuclear accident that was triggered by the earthquake and tsunami on March 11th.

The report includes findings from a study that the utility launched in June to analyze how the accident occurred and how workers responded to it.

The report says that almost all electricity sources for the reactors were lost at once following the tsunami.

As a result, multiple safety functions were also lost, causing meltdowns from the No. 1 to the No. 3 reactors.

TEPCO analyzed seismographic data recorded within the plant in the early morning of March 15th, 4 days after the disaster, when a large blast was reportedly heard near the containment vessel of the No. 2 reactor.

The company concluded in the report that there was no explosion at the No. 2 reactor, and that a blast at the No. 4 reactor was mistakenly believed to have occurred at the No. 2.

Later that day, pressure inside the No. 2 reactor vessel dropped sharply, and radiation levels near the plant's main gate rose above 10 millisieverts per hour, then the highest level so far.
The interim report fails to specify how the leakage occurred at the containment vessel, just saying that gas in the vessel was somehow released into the air.

Expert urges probe of No.2 reactor leak

The spike in radiation levels following unspecified trouble at the No.2 reactor on March 15th was much more prominent than on March 12th or 14th, when explosions hit the No.1 and No.3 reactors.

Shinichiro Kado, an associate professor at the University of Tokyo, calls the reactor containment vessel "a final fortress" for keeping radioactive substances trapped, and a "cornerstone" for the integrity of a nuclear plant.

Kado says a breach of the vessel is extremely grave.

He says TEPCO needs to clarify how radioactive substances were released, by cross-referencing data on reactor conditions and patterns of radioactive dispersion in the atmosphere.

so is the next question may as well be, Is there a nuclear plant in Fukushima?

A lot of information brain-washing going on here.

i am glad we have videos of the #1 and #3 explosion at least.
by Edano 11/29/2011 2:48:16 AM

There wasn't an explosion but it is leaking lots of radiation and steam out the top cap and has been dumping tons of radioactive water out the intake canal worse than the others. Nope, nothing to see here folks. :-)
