The week in nuclear/uranium news

Christina Macpherson’s websites & blogs

North Korea dominates the news today, as it pronounces a state of war with South Korea, and its readiness to strike USA with nuclear weapons. Most expert observers believe that North Korea is in no position to carry out these threats. United States has  moved anti-missile system to Guam and has moved Two advanced missile destroyers  closer to North Korea. Tensions have risen in South Korea, and it’s an atmosphere of brinkmanship that could result in military action.

USA. Continued warnings about the dangerous state of Hanford nuclear waste tanks – explosion is  areal possibility. Gallup poll shows that Americans prefer wind and solar power.

UK. Scotland ambivalent at being selected as base for dismantling nuclear submarines. UK govt still writhing around trying to make its subsidies for new nuclear look like well – not suibsidies.

Japan.  More and more information leaking out about Fukushima and its radioactive water problem –  still leaking into the Pacific.  New concerns about ocean life affected by this radiation – from shellfish to sea lions.

VIDEOS –  New York Symposium on Fukushima’s health and environmental effects. – well worth watching these 20 speakers, and the documents at  http://www.totalwebcasting.com/view/?id=hcf#
