Leaks, Rats and Radioactivity: Fukushima’s Nuclear Cleanup Is Faltering

by Bryan Walsh / via Time / May 1, 2013 / Honestly, if the consequences weren’t potentially so dire, the ongoing struggles to clean up the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant in northern Japan would be the stuff of comedy. In March, an extended blackout disabled power to a vital cooling system for days. The cause: a rat that had apparently been chewing on cables in a switchboard. As if that’s … Continue reading

New cover for fuel removal at Fukushima

via World Nuclear News / May 14, 2013 / A four-year process is planned to rebuild the cover over Fukushima Daiichi 1, equipping it to remove used reactor fuel still stored there. Tokyo Electric Power Company (Tepco) will take away the roof of the temporary cover structure that was put in place to reduce radioactive emissions to air in the six months after the accident in 2011. This will give … Continue reading

How Fukushima Contamination May Have Spread via Waterways

via Wall Street Journal / by Yuko Takeo / May 13, 2013 / A new study offers fresh insights into how radioactive contamination from the Fukushima nuclear disaster may have spread through Japan’s interconnected waterways, reaching some freshwater fish hundreds of kilometers away. The research by two Japanese academics published in “Nature” magazine late last month reports traces of cesium found in 2011 “even in Shizuoka prefecture, 400 km south-west from the … Continue reading

A seaweed clump lying directly in front of San Onofre Nuke has a high reading.

Fukushima ‘Hot’ Levels in California 

The clumps of seaweeds in front of SCE San Onofre registered between 0.18 and 0.38 microsieverts, in the same range as those I measured on the shore of south Fukushima prefecture. The Catalina readngs of 0.12 to 0.18 microsieverts in seaweed and 0.28 in barnacles and 0.20 limpets is higher than my findings at the Abukuma River basin near the border of Fukushima and Miyagi prefectures. (Note: By comparison, readings taken on the Japanese coast just south of the Fukushima No.2 plant were extremely high, often more than 1.2 microsieverts per hour.)

Corporate Terrorism

It
is now clear that the NUCLEAR MAFIA
and their cronies at the NRC, U.S. Gov’t
and CA State Gov’t
plan to perpetrate another act of nuclear terrorism upon
the people of Southern California and the world. By allowing Southern
California Edison to restart the damaged and defective reactor number two that
has not even been repaired, to experimentally restart at 70% power sometime in
June or July 2013.

I
say terrorism because many people in California are afraid for the health of
their children, their property values, and what would happen if a major nuclear
accident happened at San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station? By definition
terrorism is an act that its purpose is to create fear. Just thinking about the
evacuation plan that every Californian knows would not work, and having to
shelter in place during a nuclear meltdown at SONGS.  Then after the radiation damage to people’s
health has been done just like Chernobyl and Fukushima, the government will
announce in a month or two (far too late) that in a 10, 20 or 30 mile radius
will be an exclusion zone due to high radiation levels, and everyone has to
leave their homes and possessions to go live in a refugee camp somewhere in
Riverside County. The loss of billions in property values, infrastructure
(schools, roads, beaches, farm land and food crops, local governments) personal
disruptions and destruction of several millions lives, all put at risk in the
name of profits for SCE. 

What
will be the fate of Southern California if this act of Nuclear Terrorism by the NUCLEAR MAFIA is allowed this experimental
restart at San Onofre Nuke plant?
