Oh, heck- baby awake, gotta go...back later

Japan starts operating new centrifuges for enriching uranium. December 30, 2011. Japan Nuclear Fuel plans to replace all old units with new ones over the next decade at the enrichment facility that went on-stream in 1992. mdn.mainichi.jp

How can we persuade people around you who are threatened by—but trying not to face—the brutal reality?

The issue of the national distribution of radioactively contaminated debris currently opposed by residents in Shimada-shi (Shizuoka Pref.) revealed Minister Hosono’s adamant egoism. Mr.Hosono’s pressure on Shimada-shi to accept the contaminated Fukushima debris despite the protest is illogical and emotional. Mr. Hosono seems to try so hard to defeat the protest of Shimada-shi’s citizens so that he can break through the protest of nuclear waste distribution all over Japan. Mr. Hosono does not appear concerned with the life-threatening danger and unrecoverable contamination from nuclear waste incineration. Ignorant volunteers who are misled by the media and the government are now volunteering to clean up the contaminated areas without proper equipment or even wearing a respirator. And these ignorant people are the ones who would like to accept nuclear waste all over Japan, believing that is to “help” Fukushima and Tohoku. We have to continuously oppose this kind of craziness and insanity based on ignorance. (As common sense, nuclear waste should be handled with utmost care and never should be burned to prevent the escape of contaminated byproducts.) blog.goo.ne.jp

@lillymunster, east coast now, or back in spring?

Limerick PA Exelon Nuclear plants in the news yet again today: Nuclear Water Practice Extended in Limerick Exelon Nuclear’s “trial” use of using water from a flooded coal mine to augment flow in the Schuylkill River, and thus draw more water from the river than initially envisioned, will enter its eighth year in 2012 without a decision from authorities about making it permanent. snip At the crux of the project is water pumped from a Schuylkill County coal mine which, unlike water from many other Pennsylvania coal mines, is not acidic.

However it is not particularly clean, either.

At times, test results have shown the water pumped from the mine can contain as much as 80 times the safe drinking water level for manganese and 20 times the standard for iron.

Subsequent tests — all testing is conducted by a firm paid by Exelon — have shown lesser amounts. From www.thereporteronline.com

@MaryW, thanks! Good to know it's not now! :)

Fire breaks out on Russian nuclear submarine

AP THURSDAY 29 DECEMBER 2011 Fire broke out on a Russian nuclear submarine as it was awaiting repairs at an Arctic shipyard, officials said today.

The emergency ministry said there was no radiation leak, or injuries.

It said the fire on the Yekaterinburg nuclear sub resulted from a violation of technological rules.

The fire started while the submarine was sitting in dock for repairs at the Roslyakovo shipyard in the Murmansk region.

A ministry official said a fire engulfed wooden scaffolding at the yard, but refused to give further details.

The Yekaterinburg is a Delta-IV-class nuclear submarine. www.independent.co.uk

@lillymunster The hospitals in the no-entry zone have no right being there. All these hospitals are doing is demonstrating to the local residents that it is safe to stay. I'm sure the GOJ and/or TEPCO are behind this hideous scheme.

unflattering review of Deborah Dupre, often seen on fukushima
www.thepeoplesvoice.org
Deborah Dupre is acknowledged by many to be a disgrace to her “profession” which appears to be an internet reporter. In this capacity many have labeled her a menace to society.
Deborah Dupre is an internet poster who attempts towrite articles on a layperson’s news platform known as Examiner .com.Everyone who was interviewed for this article pointed out that Examiner .comwent into a formal partnership with Thomson Reuters[1] back in December of last year.Reuters Corporate Headquarters is located about a tenth of a mile from BP Corporate Headquarters in the City of London. Many have asked whether Dupre, a paid writer for Examiner, went over to the other side after she began postingarticles and comments which were highly and unjustifiably critical of the various citizens’ movements which have advocated in various capacities for the coastal residents on the Gulf of Mexico.

Even before Reuters went into business with Examiner, Dupre garnered a reputation for writing articles which lacked any kind of research or fact checking, were unprofessionally written to the point of embarrassment, and containedinformation which was either fabricated out of thin air or grossly exaggerated. In a phrase she has been identified as “one of the most irresponsible and immature writers on the internet today.” If you have any doubt about the level of hercommentary or analysis, this author challenges any reader to simply google her name and read her articles. Clearly, they speak for themselves in their childishly sensational tone and content. To call her an author or journalist is anextraordinary stretch by any standard.
Everyone spoke of the poison pen wielded by Dupre and were deeply concerned about her penchant for revenge and retaliation.It was not so much that they feared her; rather many spoke of her irrational and unpredictable behavior which often translated to writing pieces or comments known to be completely untrue and profoundly destructive to the objects of her scorn.One individual who was the subject of her character assassination spoke strongly of the need for Dupre to brought up on criminal charges. In that way it was contended society would be spared her venom and vitriol by keeping her away froma keyboard while doing her time in a prison cell.

Gov't request for nuclear storage facility site sends shockwaves through Fukushima

December 29, 2011 by legitgov

Gov't request for nuclear storage facility site sends shockwaves through Fukushima 29 Dec 2011 The government's request that an interim facility to store soil and other waste contaminated with radiation be built somewhere in Futaba county near the crippled nuclear power plant sent ripples of concern through local governments and residents in Fukushima Prefecture. On Dec. 28, Environment Minister Goshi Hosono met and asked local leaders in Fukushima Prefecture for permission to build an interim storage facility somewhere in Futaba county in which two municipalities host the troubled Fukushima No. 1 Nuclear Power Plant.
