Genetic effects of radiation shown in USA government film
fallout from fukushima http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Aoo2wvsojg This is what the government FAILED to tell us about the after-effects from fukushima. they LIED when they told us there would be NO contamination. childhood spontaneous deaths are up 40-60% along the northeast coast of the united states. there are high numbers of senior citizens who are dying suddenly from heart attack(chernobyl heart). the u.s. government committed a heinous crime when it told americans NOT to prepare and protect from the rad-fallout from fukushima. i provided this video to show you the truth

Dr. Frank Baxter: […] purpose was to see if mutations could be caused by radiation […] some striking abnormalities among the descendants of irradiated fruit flies.
White-eyed Fly
Nearly wingless flies, flies with extra wings, white-eyed flies. […]
A certain proportion of their descendants died as embryos and the eggs never hatched.
Scientist who photographed irradiated cells find that strange things happen […]
These are cells that have been irradiated. They cannot divide normally. Some of the chromosomes are broken. Some are misshapen. Sometimes the chromosomes fail to split and the cell cannot reproduce.
Lighter doses of radiation produces that changes that can’t be scene in the chromosomes, apparently by producing changes in the genes themselves. Thus the descendants of irradiated germ cells give us albino corn, distorted ears of corn and stunted plants.
Question: But Dr. Baxter, are all the effects of radiation bad?
Baxter: Most of them are, therefore we must be very careful when we use radiation.

Posted by Mochizuki on January 11th, 2013
According to Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, high level of cesium was measured from 20 of 20 samples of wild boar meats in Fukushima.
The highest reading was 1,800 Bq/Kg from the meat of wild boar taken in Nihonmatsu city.
Sampling date : 12/7/2012
Cs-134 : 657 Bq/Kg
Cs-137 : 1,140 Bq/Kg
The lowest reading was 74 Bq/Kg from the sample taken in Nishiaizu machi, but they measured cesium more than 100 Bq/Kg from all the other samples (19 of 20) .
At long last – cleanup of radiation area at Staten Island
Radiation clean up to start in Staten Island’s Gateway National
Recreation Area, SI Live.com By Deborah Young/Staten Island Advance
January 11, 2013 STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — The long-awaited survey and
clean-up of radiation-contaminated ballfields, along with more than
200 acres of green space in Gateway National Recreation Area’s Great
Kills Park should begin next week, according to the National Park
Service (NPS), under whose stewardship the land falls.
In a shift from a plan announced last year, when Park Service
contractors were slated to survey the area and then come up with
clean-up recommendations for a later time, the process set to begin
Monday will include both the identification of hot spots and the
remediation of toxins…..
As of November, six radium spots had been removed from the 223-acre
swath of the park that had once been landfill, with the primary
contaminant found to be Radium-226, a radionuclide formerly used in
medical treatment.
After that, even more potential hot spots were discovered, prompting
the National Park Service to rethink its more limited plan, and
instead include more sweeping investigations of the area, as well as
immediate elimination of the radiation.
The radiation-affected area — which comprises a large portion of the
488-acre park — has been closed to the public.
Meanwhile, environmentalists, avid users of the park, local residents
and lawmakers have demanded for years to know why the remediation
process has been so slow….

Fukushima City Housewife: “Fukushima 50” No Hero, Because They Work for TEPCO
EXSKF
FRIDAY, JANUARY 11, 2013
Ms. Seiko Takahashi responds to BBC‘s Rupert Wingfield-Hayes (1/3/2013) when he asks about “Fukushima 50”, workers who remained at Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant after Reactor 3 building exploded and kept on doing whatever they could to contain the situation:
Before the meltdowns, Seiko Takahashi never thought of activism. Now the middle-aged mother from Fukushima City is a passionate anti-nuclear campaigner. And she admits there is little sympathy for the Fukushima workers.
“They are not heroes for us,” she says. “I feel sorry for them, but I don’t see them as heroes. We see them as one block, they work for Tepco, they earned high salaries. The company made a lot of money from nuclear power, and that’s what paid for their nice lives.”
She is essentially saying they get what they deserve, for having worked for TEPCO.
Her city, Fukushima City, is in the highly contaminated middle-third of Fukushima Prefecture. While most Japanese (and foreigners) may sympathize with her and her city’s plight, many of them are also angry that the city, along with almost all municipalities in that prefecture, continues to grow crops and sell them outside, claiming they are “safe” (i.e. less than 100 Bq/kg of radioactive cesium), and claims it suffers tremendously from “baseless rumors”.
For how some of the Fukushima I Nuke Plant workers have been treated by their fellow Fukushima residents, see my post from February 2012. That post was about an article that appeared in Germany’s Der Spiegel. I have seen hardly any coverage on the issue in the Japanese media.
As BBC’s Wingfield-Hayes says at the end of his report,
There is wide sympathy here for victims like him, [Mr. Yoshizawa the cattle farmer in Namie-machi] but the Japanese public appears to have little sympathy or concern for the suffering of Fukushima workers.
That’s Japan for you.

Cheaper for Duke Energy to close Crystal River nuclear plant
Rating agency thinks nuclear plant will be closed, Tampa Bay Times, By
Ivan Penn, Times Staff Writer, Jan 11, 2013 In its latest evaluation
of Duke Energy, the Fitch rating agency concludes this week that the
utility probably will permanently close the crippled Crystal River
nuclear plant.
In giving Duke a “stable” outlook, Fitch noted that a repair of the
Crystal River plant would pose too much of burden on Duke but shutting
it down would guarantee some protections provided by a settlement
agreement with the state.
“Fitch believes it is unlikely management will elect to repair Crystal
River 3 given the rising cost estimates, construction risks and low
gas-price environment, and instead will pursue the retirement option
and recovery of invested capital,” the rating agency stated…..

Rice contaminated with radioactive cesium has been detected in Miyagi Prefecture -Greenpeace
“..Rice contaminated with radioactive cesium has been detected in Miyagi Prefecture. It is the first time that contaminated rice has been discovered outside of Fukushima Prefecture. The rice, which at 240 Bq/kg exceeded government-mandated limits by almost two-and-a-half times, was not sold to the public. Prefectural officials have requested that nearby farmers refrain from shipping rice and other produce until further testing can be conducted…”
Here’s the latest of our news bulletins from the ongoing crisis at Japan’s Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.
Decontamination Scandal
A major scandal involving shoddy decontamination practices in Fukushima Prefecture is continuing to unfold. Workers say that no training, impossible deadlines, and a sense that their efforts were useless, as well as direct orders from supervisors, led to the improper disposal practices.
In response to a scathing ten-part expose by the Asahi Shimbun, which revealed illegal dumping of radioactive waste into rivers and forests, failure to collect contaminated water used in the cleanup process, and inappropriate use of high-pressured sprayers, Ministry officials finally interviewed supervisors from four contracting firms that had been awarded a highly lucrative 650 billion yen ($7.4 billion) contract. The firms originally agreed to bag all radioactive material, including leaves and branches; only use high-pressure sprayers on gutters and collect all water used; and wipe down walls and roofs of houses by hand or with brushes. Contaminated materials were to be stored at temporary storage sites, and cleanup was to occur within 20 meters of both sides of all roads. The work was to be performed in 11 municipalities over four prefectures.
During the course of the interviews, two firms admitted that workers had not properly collected contaminated water in the towns of Naraha and Iitate. Although that practice is a violation of the Ministry’s contract with the firms, it is not illegal. The Asahi reporters, however, submitted extensive photographic, video, and audio documentation of far more extensive problems than those to which the firms admitted.
South Texas nuclear reactors – fire on Jan 8, relicensing hearing on Jan 15
Fire at South Texas Project Nuclear Reactor Site – Just Before Re-licensing Hearing, Herald Online, January 11, 2013 By Sustainable Energy & Economic Development Coalition AUSTIN, TEXAS, JAN. 11, 2013 — /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ –– A fire that shot 50 foot flames into the air erupted January 8th in the main transformer at the South Texas Project site near Bay City, Texas, about 90 miles southwest of Houston. Reactor 2, which was out of commission for five winter months in 2011-2012, has not been operating since the fire.
The fire occurred just one week prior to a hearing on re-licensing the two South Texas Project reactors, which will be held January 15th from 2-5 pm and 7-10 pm at the Bay City Civic Center, 201 Seventh St…… “Any nuclear reactor is at risk from fires, explosions, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, earthquakes, lack of cooling water and terrorist attacks, as well as accidents due to human error and mechanical failure,” said Karen Hadden, Director of the Sustainable Energy and Economic Development (SEED) Coalition.
“This is like a used car deal – made fourteen years in advance. Why not wait until 2025 to see what shape the reactors are in before even considering re-licensing? The reactors, now 24 and 25 years old, are licensed to run 40 years – until 2027 and 2028. It’s time to plan for their replacement, not court disaster by giving aging reactors twenty additional years.”

Japan’s new government hand in glove with the old “nuclear village”
the public
remains sceptical about industry promises to mend its ways after
decades of collusion with regulators and pro-nuclear politicians.
But those concerns are unlikely to hold much sway with the LDP, which
helped develop Japan’s “nuclear village” – the web of power utilities,
bureaucrats and MPs who peddled the nuclear dream and shunned rigorous
regulation…..

Wheeling and dealing as China, France, try to sell nuclear reactors to UK
EDF, China firm held British nuclear talks
http://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/a/-/world/15816531/edf-china-
firm-held-british-nuclear-talks/,
Reporting by Dominique Vidalon in Paris, Karolin Schaps, Sophie
Sassard and Sarah Young in London, additional reporting by David
Standway in Beijing; editing by Jason Neely
January 12, 2013 PARIS/LONDON (Reuters) – France’s EDF remains in the
hunt for a partner to build four nuclear reactors in Britain after
talks were halted with China’s Guangdong Nuclear Power Corporation
Holding (CGNPC) , sources close to the talks said on Friday.
“They have talked. EDF and CGNPC have a relationship going back many
years,” one source said. But two other sources close to the
discussions confirmed negotiations regarding a British partnership are
no longer ongoing.
The Wall Street Journal newspaper reported on Friday that the talks
had focused on the state-owned Chinese firm taking over a 20 percent
stake in EDF’s nuclear new build programme owned by UK firm Centrica .
A spokesman for Centrica said the company continued to be involved in
the project.
EDF declined to comment and CGNPC was not available for immediate comment.
CGNPC and EDF along with French reactor maker Areva signed an
agreement in November to jointly develop a new type of reactor.
The French government later said it had opened an investigation into a
partnership deal which EDF had signed with a Chinese nuclear utility
in order to verify whether France’s strategic interests were
respected.
China has most Tungsten for green ammo -USA has to continue with depleted uranium?

Abstract
The use of depleted uranium in armor-penetrating munitions remains a source of controversy because of the numerous unanswered questions about its long-term health effects. Although no conclusive epidemiologic data have correlated DU exposure to specific health effects, studies using cultured cells and laboratory rodents continue to suggest the possibility of leukemogenic, genetic, reproductive, and neurological effects from chronic exposure. Until issues of concern are resolved with further research, the use of depleted uranium by the military will continue to be controversial.

NRC Reports on Oyster Creek Hurricane Performance
“..At the same time, the inspectors did observe several areas where performance could be improved. Some examples included heightened awareness of emergency declaration thresholds, clearer documentation in control room records and ensuring reliable back-up power for the plant’s emergency operations facility.
The report also contains a company-identified violation determined to be of very low safety significance related to the use of incorrect meteorological tower data…”

Neil Sheehan
Public Affairs Officer
Region I
The NRC staff has issued the findings of the Special Inspection it conducted at the Oyster Creek nuclear power plant to review events related to “Superstorm” Sandy. The inspection was launched on Nov. 13.
Our three-member team’s primary focus was the timing of the emergency declarations at the Lacey Township (Ocean County), N.J. facility during the storm. Sandy-generated high water levels at the plant’s water intake structure, prompting first an “Unusual Event” declaration and later an “Alert” declaration.
The inspectors also reviewed preparations by Exelon, the plant’s owner, prior to the storm’s arrival; equipment performance; and overall command and control from an emergency preparedness perspective.
The inspectors’ report is now available on the NRC website. The team has concluded that the declarations were timely and accurate and that plant personnel appropriately carried out their duties during the storm.
Billion-dollar US nuclear sub comes off worst in Strait of Hormuz collision with ‘fishing boat’
Published: 11 January, 2013,
RT
The USS Jacksonville, a large nuclear submarine, has broken its periscope after colliding with a vessel which escaped unscathed. This is the latest collision to involve a US vessel in the busy and tense oil chokepoint of the Strait of Hormuz.
The American sub was performing a routine pre-dawn patrol when seamen heard a “thump”, according to a Navy source who spoke to several news agencies. The crew tried to ascertain the damage by looking into its periscope, only to realize it was no longer working. The other periscope on the submarine revealed that the first one had been “sheared off”.
It appears the ‘fishing trawler’ that collided with the 7,000-tonne submarine was not only undamaged, but barely noticed the accident.
“The vessel continued on a consistent course and speed, offering no indication of distress or acknowledgement of a collision,” says an official statement published on the US Navy website.
Authorities insist that USS Jacksonville is in no immediate danger.
“The reactor remains in a safe condition, there was no damage to the propulsion plant systems and there is no concern regarding watertight integrity,” they said.
The cost of repairing the damaged periscope are as yet unclear, but the discontinued Los Angeles-class submarines, to which USS Jacksonville belongs, would cost over $1 billion to build in today’s money (the sub was launched in 1978).
USS Jacksonville has now returned to Bahrain, where its damage will be assessed.

A new strategy is needed, as Asian and Middle Eastern countries join the nuclear weapons club
the most urgent problem stems from the breakdown of major countries’
one-time nuclear monopoly and the empowerment of smaller countries
like North Korea, Pakistan, Israel, and, quite possibly, Iran. A new
set of rules for diplomacy, military strategy, and arms control is
needed to stabilise this emerging nuclear order. Pretending that it
does not exist is not a strategy.
The second nuclear age BY PAUL BRACKEN, JANUARY 11 2013 BD
Live“……The contours of the second nuclear age are still taking
shape. But the next few years will be especially perilous, because
newness itself creates dangers as rules and red lines are redefined.
This took at least ten years in the first nuclear age, and this time
may be no different.
In the Middle East, South Asia, and East Asia, old rivalries now
unfold in a nuclear context. This has already changed military
postures across the Middle East. Continue reading
