This week’s nuclear news

Christina Macpherson’s websites & blogs

Japan is always the top news. This week, it would be funny if it were not so serious.  With the Fukushima wrecked nuclear plant in  a calamitous state, The Japanese government, aided by the known to be dodgy Olympic Committee, has won the right to host the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. What a great way to renew confidence in Japan, and in its ability to fix the Fukushima nuclear catastrophe! Unfortunately it is far from fixed,   The  vast expense of setting up the Olympic Games would be better spent in fixing it. And the world should help.

USA’s Syria dilemma. An attack on Syria is likely to bring about nuclear disaster – in several ways –  striking Syria’s nuclear reactor, use of depleted uranium weapons, nuclear retaliation from Russia, or even from other nations that hold nuclear devices.

Iran has reduced its nuclear stockpile – but will the West be ready to truly negotiate?

Nuclear weapons industry – a huge bloated and out of control industry, in USA, Russia – and beyond. It’s in their interest to have A war – with Syria, Iran, anybody, really.

California – a ray of common sense – as electricty utilities join in  a project for community renewable energy.

The Science Denial Industry exposed.  A new book  Dealing in Doubt: The Climate Denial Machine Vs Climate Science  In the tradition of asbestos denialism, tobacco denialism, now climate denialism is exposed – (radiation denialism is the next)
