@lilly I think that for Japanese people, having a concert, or anything that involves being happy or having joy is very bad form to commemorate a day on which tens of thousands died.

Only a few days ago, in Okinawa district, located in the southern-most region of Japan, where I evacuated, leaf mold (humus) contaminated with over 17,500 bq/kg has been distributed and they couldn’t recover all of it, because it had already been used. fukushima-diary.com

@bo I can see the point. Probably a bit soon for anything people may take as celebrating in some way.

@lilly this can be a big issue here in Hiroshima. August 6, the anniversary of the bombing is a very big day here, and a city holiday. Once a city worker was photographed playing a round of golf on this day off and his picture was published in the paper. He was soon fired.

But more interesting to me is that on Aug 6 every year young people have begun to have a Peace & Love festival in a park 1/2 km from the Peace Park where they play music and dance, and it is very very very controversial here.

@bo..interesting piece on the UTAH nuke plant, the individual who is heading up the effort in UTAH probably learned from Don Gillespie and AHEI inc who formed the similar thing in IDAHO. Even up to the point of having stock and apparantely stripping money off of the stocks...

@dean doesn't bode well for a focus on long term safety! D'oh!
by bo 1/22/2012 3:03:29 AM

@bo, I'd be surprised if NRC acts very fast on it in light of the nuclear situation around.
by dean 1/22/2012 3:06:44 AM

@bo, maybe Utah could just illustrate how green nuclear is by recycling the Zion plant that is headed there.
by eyes 1/22/2012 3:08:32 AM

@eyes Utah is also home to both the US chemical weapons stockpile, and also the plant that is incinerating that stockpile. Very green.
by bo 1/22/2012 3:10:34 AM

@bo, now that Umatilla is closing the shop we might as well waste the Green River.

@bo, both of these companies that are trying to land nuclear plants have previous NRC commissioners on board, I'm sure to help the SMOOTH SAILING through the licensing and review process
by dean 1/22/2012 3:22:46 AM

@eyes apparently the last of the chemical weapons were incinerated at Deseret Chemical Depot a few days ago: www.huffingtonpost.com

Maybe something like the block action going on in the UK? They say their national subsidy of nuclear goes against fair competition regulations www.bbc.co.uk

@bo, maybe that is why Huntsman pulled out of the race. Head back home and reinvigorate the family business with all these green opportunities.

Cabinet kept alarming nuke report secret "The content was so shocking that we decided to treat it as if it didn't exist," a senior government official said.

@eyes, that and the fact that all republican primary voters considered him to be an alien species

@bo he acted normal and said what he thought would work rather than cringe-worthy crazy statements. He was doomed. :-)

@lilly yes, the original Japanese Gojira is very very political. That was all taken out of the American cut with Raymond Burr superimposed. The opening scene in which a fishing boat becomes the first victim of Gojira was written in after the Bravo test and the Lucky Dragon incident. The Bravo test is the event that put the word "fallout" into common usage. It is very hard to find in print before the spring of 1954. Before that, what few public references there were to fallout generally used the term "residual radiation."

The release of a Criterion edition is great news for all nuclear cultural historians.

Good morning @lillymunster. Just saw a tweet that linked to this vid. Kind of spooky looking. What do you suppose the light rising from #4 is?

@lilly yes, and the light that seems to be emanating upwards from it
by bo 1/22/2012 3:51:11 PM

@bo it is a really intense spotlight. They turn it on at night sometimes. It is roughly located where the common fuel pool storage building is but closer to the road side of that building. Is TBS camera back up yet?
by lillymunster 1/22/2012 3:52:28 PM

@bo that light is there most nights -it comes from a building to the right of #4. The light going upwards is the result of the seam of the covers across the cam
