Nuclear power and civil liberties – theme for January
The Obama administration must become more alert to authoritarian trends in Japan that its policies have been either encouraging or knowingly ignoring – often behind the curtains of our own chronic secrecy.
The Fukushima Secrecy Syndrome – From Japan to America http://www.commondreams.org/view/2014/01/24-8 By Ralph Nader, 24 Jan 14 Last month, the ruling Japanese coalition parties quickly rammed through Parliament a state secrets law. We Americans better take notice.
Under its provisions the government alone decides what are state secrets and any civil servants who divulge any “secrets” can be jailed for up to 10 years. Journalists caught in the web of this vaguely defined law can be jailed for up to 5 years.
Government officials have been upset at the constant disclosures of their laxity by regulatory officials before and after the Fukushima nuclear power disaster in 2011, operated by Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO).
Fukushima WAS a Nuclear Explosion, Here Is The Proof!

The only way that the tens of tons of uranium and plutonium shown by US EPA air samples could occur was if the explosion came from within the reactor vessel,and/or spent fuel pool. So clearly the explosion was a nuclear type of explosion from within. Nuclear promoters have long stated that nuclear plants can’t blow up in a nuclear explosion. We know this to be a lie. In fact Chicago’s own Argonne National Lab has video from back in the day when it was “cool” to perform open air tests to blow up reactors to prove the nuclear chain reaction can blow up the reactors. The special type of Nuclear Explosion is called a “prompt moderated criticality”.
A blast from a “hydrogen explosion” would come from a wide area where hydrogen would be,Hydrogen is the lightest element, so it would float up and fill the reactor building from the top down. If it truly was a hydrogen explosion, and it wasn’t, then the blast would come from the top down. The fuels would be compressed into their deep containments, not launched thousands of feet into the air as did occur.
I am going to stop calling these things reactor vessels, and instead call them “Radiation Canons”
Here is the Argonne National Lab proof of concept

Even Arnie Gundersenchimed in to clarify the nature of the Prompt Criticality
This Prompt criticality doubles in power every millionth of a second and causes incredibly rapid power increase that is the destructive nature of a bomb. The second type of prompt criticalityis called a prompt MODERATED criticality, which is what I believed happened at Fukushima.
Here is his whole email on the subject

Now we do know that tens of tons (at least) were launched into the air and effectively aerosolized by the Radiation Canon (aka reactor vessel). Simply using the density of theuranium and plutonium in the air as presented by EPA air sampling tests that are data mined to reveal their dirty little secrets. All that data and the simple calculations to calculate mass using known density and area/volume of dispersion are HERE-

Please listen as the Proliferation Prevention Program welcomes Dr. Manpreet Sethi, Senior Research Fellow at the Centre for Air Power Studies in New Delhi. Dr. Sethi presents an insider’s view of the challenges India faces as a nuclear weapon state outside of the NPT and as a civilian nuclear energy state in a tense, nuclearized neighborhood.

Thorium nuclear reactors: radioactive wastes are a problem
Thorium Cycle questions and problems“……..Certainly the fission products from a Thorium reactor are a worry, Technetium-99 has a half life of 220,000 years, uranium-232 produces thallium-208 (a nasty wee gamma emitter), Selenium-79 (another gamma emitter with a 327,000 year half-life), evenThorium-232 is a problem with its half life of 14 Billion years (and while the T-232 isn’t a major worry, all the time during this 14 Billion years it will be decaying and producing stuff that is!)……”http://daryanenergyblog.wordpress.com/ca/part-8-msr-lftr/8-3-thorium-lftr/
