Britain now facing a horror cost in burying its dead nuclear reactors
Nuclear decommissioning A glowing review Britain is paying dearly for neglecting its nuclear waste, The Economist, Apr 5th 2014 SWILLING around murky ponds in the oldest part of Sellafield, a nuclear research and reprocessing centre in Cumbria, is a soupy, radioactive sludge. For years boffins working on Britain’s first military and civil nuclear programmes abandoned spent fuel and other nastiness into the pools and tanks, which now grow decrepit. Though perhaps not the “slow-motion Chernobyl” which some environmental campaigners make out, the site is subject to one of the most complex nuclear clean-ups in the world.
Sellafield is the trickiest of several challenges facing the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA), a government body that manages the contractors who swab out Britain’s defunct facilities. Their projects swallow up about two-thirds of the budget of the Department of Energy and Climate Change; Sellafield alone costs £1.7 billion ($2.8 billion) a year, almost as much as the roughly £2 billion spent subsidising renewable energy in 2013. On March 31st NDA awarded a £7 billion contract to decommission 12 more of Britain’s oldest reactor sites over 14 years to a consortium including Babcock, a British engineering firm, and Fluor, an American one.These big sums reflect problems peculiar to Britain. It ploughed into nuclear bomb-making in the 1940s, and nuclear power in the 1950s, with little plan for how contaminated structures would be dealt with. …….
West now keen to market nuclear fuel to Ukraine
Westinghouse, Ukraine Near Deal on Nuclear Fuel for Reactors Extension of Contract Could Also Lessen Reliance of Other Former Communist States on Russia WSJ, By SEAN
CARNEY April 3, 2014 The United States and Ukraine are on the verge of deepening their ties in nuclear energy while lessening the influence of Russia on the former Soviet state’s economy and geopolitical orientation.
Pennsylvania-based Westinghouse Electric Co. on Thursday said it’s in negotiations to extend its contract with Ukraine’s Energoatom and supply nuclear fuel for three reactors, a deal that would bolster Ukraine’s commitment to long-term cooperation with the West.
“Westinghouse is currently in discussions with Energoatom to agree on an amended fuel supply contract,” Westinghouse spokesman Hans Korteweg said.
Ilona Zayets, spokeswoman for state-owned Energoatom, said the two sides were in final negotiations on the deal and added that Energoatom hopes to sign the contract next week……….
The nuclear contract being negotiated would renew and extend for an unspecified number of years an existing fuel contract between Westinghouse, a unit of Japan’s Toshiba Corp, and Ukraine’s state-owned Energoatom. ……..
A senior Westinghouse official late last year said the fuel deal is worth roughly $100 million for a five-year supply and that a renewal of the Ukraine supply contract was essential for the company in keeping its Swedish fuel processing plant in operation.
The Swedish plant is the sole non-Russian facility globally that produces fuel for use in Russian-designed reactors used in EU countries, and it is a crucial outpost as the West aims to check Russian influence in Europe’s eastern regions.
If the deal goes through as expected, it would also provide the Czech Republic and Bulgaria—which both have Russian VVER 1000-type reactors—with an alternative supplier of nuclear fuel in years to come.
Russia’s state-owned Rosatom and Westinghouse are the only producers of fuel for this reactor type.
Czech utility CEZ AS early in the last decade used Westinghouse fuel but later switched to Russian-made fuel.
Russia’s state-owned Rosatom, which is the primary nuclear fuel supplier to Ukraine as well as most post-communist countries in Europe that use Russian VVER-type reactors, wasn’t immediately available to comment. http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702303847804579479543798143068?mg=reno64-wsj&url=http%3A%2F%2Fonline.wsj.com%2Farticle%2FSB10001424052702303847804579479543798143068.html
At long Last, some compensation to Navajo for uranium mining’s disastrous legacy
Navajo to benefit from $1B for uranium 
cleanup http://www.chron.com/news/science/article/Navajo-to-benefit-from-1B-for-uranium-cleanup-5374413.php By FELICIA FONSECA, Associated Press | April 3, 2014 FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) — More than $1 billion is going to help clean up abandoned uranium mines that have left a legacy of disease and death on the Navajo Nation.
The money is part of a $5.15 billion settlement that the federal government reached with Anadarko Petroleum Corp. for the cleanup of thousands of long-contaminated sites nationwide. The settlement announced Thursday resolves a legal battle over Tronox Inc., a 2005 spinoff of Kerr-McGee Corp. that Anadarko acquired in 2006.
Kerr-McGee once operated about 50 uranium mines in the Lukachukai Mountains of northeastern Arizona near Cove and a uranium mill in Shiprock, N.M. Uranium waste was thrust over the mountain side and carried by rainwater across the land used by hikers, anglers, medicine men and Navajo shepherds, said David Taylor, an attorney with the Navajo Nation Department of Justice.
“I have a feeling of just deep appreciation for the Navajo children, who literally are playing in uranium piles today who aren’t going to have to do that in the future,” he said.
But, Taylor added: “The path before us is still monumental. We’ve got a good start now, and I hope we can build on that.”
The more than $1 billion will address about 10 percent of the tribe’s inventory of abandoned uranium mines. About 4 million tons of uranium ore were mined from the reservation from 1944 to 1986 for wartime weapons. Many families still live among the contamination and fear drinking water polluted by uranium. Navajo President Ben Shelly said the settlement will ease some concerns about public health.
About $1 billion of the money benefiting the Navajo Nation will be administered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in San Francisco. Of that, nearly $87 million will be set aside specifically for two sites known as the Quivira Mines near Church Rock, N.M. The Navajo Nation separately will receive $43 million to address Shiprock mill, where uranium ore was processed near the San Juan River, the EPA said.
The federal government has been working for years with the Navajo Nation to address the more than 500 abandoned uranium mines on the reservation, but they’ve been hampered by the costs of remediation and the unwillingness of some companies to pay for cleanup of their previous operations.
Jared Blumenfeld, the EPA’s regional administrator in San Francisco, said federal agencies spent about $100 million as part of a five-year cleanup plan. The EPA is drafting a second, five-year plan, but the budget is expected to be much less, he said.
“The mess that’s on the Navajo Nation in terms of abandoned uranium mines should never have been put there, and all of us have been waiting for this day to start to make a big dent in the cleanup,” he said.
The mountainous sites near Cove rarely are visited, but a network of roads established for mining, logging and firewood gathering provide access. Tribal officials say Navajo medicine men gather plants and herbs for prayer and healing purposes from the mountains, and families set up summer camps where sheep graze nearby.
The federal government initially sought $25 billion to clean up decades of contamination at dozens of sites. A U.S. bankruptcy judge in New York ruled in December that Kerr-McGee improperly shifted its environmental liabilities to Tronox and should pay between $5.15 billion and $14.2 billion, plus attorneys’ fees.
Anadarko CEO Al Walker said the settlement eliminates the uncertainty of the dispute.
Blumenfeld said Navajos have struggled with the legacy of uranium contamination for too long. He said dozens of tribal members already have been trained in how to properly dispose of and transport contaminated waste, and they soon can be put to work.
“It’s one of those environmental justice burdens that has garnered a lot of attention and, thankfully, now it’s garnering a lot of money,” Blumenfeld said.
Wind energy blasts ahead in Germany
Germany boosts wind power at green energy summit, DW 4 April 14, State and federal politicians have renegotiated planned reforms to Germany’s Renewable Energy Act at a summit in Berlin. They agreed to drop proposed limits on the country’s wind power facilities. Germany’s wind power industry has emerged victorious at Tuesday’s (01.04.2014) energy summit in Berlin. The talks brought together German Chancellor Angela Merkel and the country’s 16 state premiers.
The country is planning a shift away from fossil fuels and nuclear power. “We have now made the first big step to safeguard the energy transition,” said German Economics and Energy Minister, Sigmar Gabriel.
Gabriel’s initial plans to reform the country’s Renewable Energy Act (known locally as the EEG) had included drastically reducing subsidies for renewable energy power systems and capping the rollout of domestic wind power to 2500 megawatts per year.
But, southern German states like Baden-Württemberg rejected the plans. They argued that this would effectively destroy the renewable energy technology market they have built over years. States like Lower Saxony and Schleswig-Holstein were also angry, saying the new plans would reduce their ability to create power in the wind-intensive northern states.
Wind energy blasts ahead
According to Gabriel, federal and state ministers have now moved from a top limit to a flexible cap. That means more wind farms will profit from subsidies…….
The balancing act continues
German Chancellor Angela Merkel confirmed her view at the meeting that the “renewable energy surcharge needs to be limited, while at the same time a path for the energy turnaround needs to be ensured.”
Both goals have been met with this new compromise, says Merkel, but there are challenges ahead……..
So far, big energy users in Germany have been excluded from paying the surcharge. The European Commission in Brussels is investigating the EEG law on these grounds.
Sigmar Gabriel says that he will continue to support this exemption, in order to help German industry. After the summit Gabriel thanked the states for their support during the EU investigation. “We are in agreement on what we have to achieve with Brussels, namely, that we have to continue to exempt energy-intensive industry in Germany from this surcharge in a way that doesn’t breach competition regulations.”
The altered draft bill reforming the Renewable Energy Act will be discussed by the German cabinet next week. http://www.dw.de/germany-boosts-wind-power-at-green-energy-summit/a-17536470
The crime of Chernobyl – a model for Fukushima – More ETHOS lies!
The reactor may be disappearing from sight under a high-tech dome, the buildings in Pripyat will collapse, the elderly returnees will have passed away, but I am afraid the story of Chernobyl will continue way beyond our lifetime. A scientist in Chernobyl told me, “We could erect fences in certain areas here stating: Not meant for human habitation for 24,000 years to come. And this is only the half-life of plutonium 239.”

5 – February – 2014
http://independentwho.org/en/2014/02/05/chernobyl-model-fukushima/
For a quarter of a century a systematic crime against humanity has been perpetrated by people in senior positions at the heart of Europe. The people living in Western Europe, so advanced technologically, remain indifferent and largely disinformed. In order to preserve the consensus around the military and civilian nuclear industry, the nuclear lobby and the official medical establishment have, for the past 26 years, knowingly condemned millions of human guinea pigs to an experiment on their bodies with new diseases in the vast laboratory provided by the territories contaminated by Chernobyl. Children are being treated like laboratory animals, under observation from French and German scientists, and French NGO’s like the CEPN, Mutadis Consultants, ETHOS and CORE, who must take their share of the responsibility. (Translator’s note: CEPN is the Centre d’étude sur l’Evaluation de la Protection dans le domaine Nucléaire ; Mutadis, ETHOS and CORE are all offshoots of the French nuclear industry, financed either through Electricité de France or the Autorité de Sureté Nucléaire.)
The same fate awaits the Japanese people and their children living in areas contaminated by the Fukushima disaster because the same strategy is being put in place in Japan with the same players, the same pseudo-scientific justifications and under the aegis of the same authorities.
In this article I will detail the actions taken by representatives of the international scientific and political community at different levels of involvement that have harmed the children of Belarus around Chernobyl. First, we need to examine the management of the consequences of the disaster by the United Nations (UN) agencies responsible for nuclear power and health: the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), promoter of nuclear power, and the World Health Organisation (WHO) whose goal is “to bring all people to the highest attainable level of health.” Both agencies undertake and endorse, from their position of authority within the scientific and medical domains, the criminal policy imposed by the five member states of the UN Security Council in the area of nuclear power in general and in the contaminated territories around Chernobyl and Fukushima in particular. This policy, while giving the appearance of being scientific, is based on a strategy of ignorance that is anything but scientific. The sleight of hand employed by the nuclear lobby is to use the experience of the bombs used at Hiroshima and Nagasaki to explain Chernobyl. The nuclear lobby compares the very high levels of radiation released in the initial flash when the bombs in Japan exploded with the very low levels of radiation around Chernobyl and claims a priori that these low levels cannot be the cause of the pathologies that have appeared since the Chernobyl accident. But the two events and the mechanisms by which they damage health are not the same. One does not explain the other. No atomic bomb exploded at Chernobyl.
There were two explosions of an atomic nature (power excursions) and a fire that lasted 10 days. Today the ambient and surface background radiation around the power station is low. But huge amounts of artificial radioactive elements were ejected during the thermal explosions and while the fire raged for ten days, these elements were dispersed over great distances by the winds and rains. These long-lived elements contaminate the environment, plants, animals and humans. They have destroyed the health and the lives of hundreds of thousands of young liquidators who ingested and inhaled radioactive particles while working around the plant, and they will continue to contaminate future generations. Genetic and perigenetic damage will appear in the liquidators’ children and then be transmitted to subsequent generations, causing suffering that the first generation will not have known. (1).
WHO and IAEA recognise only the deaths of around fifty liquidators who worked at the plant in the first few days, and about 9000 additional cancers up to 2056, while in 2001, official data from the Ukraine and the Russian Federation claimed that 10% of the liquidators had already died and 30% of them were disabled (there were more than 800,000 from across the USSR). The 2 million farmers and more than 250,000 children from Belarus who live in radioactive areas, were, according to the IAEA and WHO, unharmed by the Chernobyl accident. The large number of illnesses, which are increasing and getting worse every year in Belarus, are attributed officially to stress, “radiophobia” or to parental alcoholism.
Abel Gonzales, Director of Radiation Transport and Waste Safety at the IAEA, Vice President of the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP), director of the Radioprotection Agency in Argentina, Argentina’s delegate to the IAEA and to UNSCEAR (United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation), and adviser to the WHO, told the Kiev conference, (4-8 June 2001) that was filmed by Swiss television, that it was impossible, given the low levels of radioactivity to prove a correlation between the radioactivity and illness – that it was “an insoluble epistemological problem.” He used these words: “there are no grounds for direct knowledge at this stage. We do not know! “.

On Sunday the 27 April 2013 in a little room somewhere off Grays Inn road London, a meeting took place. In this meeting was Ms Tamara Krasitskava of the Ukrainian NGO “Zemlyaki”.
In this meeting she quoted that only 40 percent of the evacuees that moved to Kiev after the disaster are alive today! And lets leave the statistics out of it for a moment and we find out of 44,000 evacuated to Kiev only 19,000 are left alive. None made it much passed 40 years old
…..3.2 million with health effects and this includes 1 million children…

Enforced Amnesia – The Dispossession of Memory
Slight change of plan on this article (see the comments)
Extract from article (full article to be posted later in the month)
“Yes, dose is very important. Very often the initial dose measurements are totally inadequate and must be reconstructed years later. Usually these dose reconstructions under value the contribution of internalised radioactive dust. [49] The dual concepts and labels of “non-stochastic” and “Stochastic” under the broad headings encompass the Western view of the health effects of radiation exposure. The headings themselves give no hint of the existence of a health syndrome caused by chronic exposure to environmental radiological contamination.”

Introduction
Victors write the history books. The thrust of the official view washes over individual experience and memory, threatening to submerge it. The vitality of insight memory brings is lost if one stops swimming against the tide. The counter current of the official view bends the wind and it whips the face of the solitary witness with the cold cutting chill of denial.
He had seen the Black Rain. Living in Hiroshima he suffered as many did in those suburbs, washed by the tar like liquid that fell from the bomb cloud in 1945. That Black Rain fell far more widely than admitted at that time or since. Now even his own government doubted that his suffering was real. Bent and weakened, often bed ridden, the years had been an ordeal. Bura Bura disease. Ha. Too much worrying about nothing, the nations’ experts had said recently. His skin had borne witness to the truth.
The day the smoke went up at Fukushima Diiachi, the old man’s children remembered, and knew that their own “Black Rain” was on it’s way. They knew what they had to do, for it would last a long time. First: Remember. Don’t let there be forgetfulness. Build a living library of facts sufficient to silence the voices of denial. The nation’s memory extends beyond the horizon. It will always be August 1945. It will always be March 2011. Few remain with recollection of the Black Rain as we watch Fukushima unfold.
The children stood ready to demolish the cruel official claim that they were nothing but fearful worriers. They held their courage high. With calm resolution they formed a blockade against the official attempt to impose old lies onto the latest disaster.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
On the 15th of March 2011, the words of the Chief Scientist of Britain, Lord Beddington, were transmitted and streamed around the world by the BBC. I watched him speak on local TV in Adelaide. If there were a meltdown, he said, “you would get an explosion and radioactive material would be emitted. But it would be emitted to about 500 meters and it would be a relatively short duration of the order of an hour or so. Compare that with Chernobyl…” [1]
Not long after Beddington spoke, the Prime Minister of Japan, dressed in his blue overalls, appeared at the rostrum in Japan. He pleaded for calm. The situation was urgent. He and his Cabinet Secretary, Mr. Edano, told Japan and the world that radiation from the reactor plant was “now high enough to endanger health”. People up to 10km outside of the 20km evacuation zone were told to stay indoors with doors and windows shut. Their homes became their “containment domes”. 250km to the south, Tokyo was receiving far higher levels of radiation than normal. The people there were told they were perfectly safe. China responded by evacuating its citizens from Japan. [2]
[…]
I have reason to think that the threat to the ocean and to the fisheries off the Japanese coast has long been known to the nuclear industry in the event of major accident occur at any Japanese reactor site. I also wonder whether Mr. Ergen and his consulting companies, General Electric and Westinghouse, considered wet sand advantageous in the attempt to mitigate meltdown consequences.
[…]
The venting into air and emissions into water lasted longer than Beddington’s magic hour. It is still going on, and will continue for more years to come. Ergen, 1967, study shows that at 100,000 hours after meltdown, the fuel is still molten. [3]
[…]
Above: “The frantically scribbled log the engineers kept on a whiteboard in the control room as the nuclear plant slid towards disaster. “15:42, nuclear emergency declared. 15:50, loss of water level readings. 16:36, emergency core cooling system malfunction. No water can be injected.” [9]
[…]
One of the failures of the nuclear industry and mass media narrative since the March 2011 disaster has been its enforced amnesia in regard to the warnings the industry and regulators have had since the probability of core melt in the event of cooling system and emergency cooling system failure was first recognised in the 1960s. It has been over 40 years since these warnings were issued and ignored. Nothing has changed. The fact is the enormity of the natural disaster did not cause the inadequacy of the Fukushima Diiachi emergency cooling systems. The designed in inadequacy of reactor ECCS have been known by many industry experts for decades. While these issues do relate specifically to the Fukushima Diiachi General Electric type reactors in this instance, they also relate to ALL types of commercial power reactors designed and produced by the United States at that time and since.
[…]
Whatever the actual motivation for placing the Fukushima Diiachi over such an aquifer, Tepco and the rest of the Japanese and world nuclear industry has had since 1967 to consider and design a system for catching, holding and decontaminating the contaminated water caused by melt downs at the plant. The Ergen Report of 1967 shows that nuclear authorities have considered meltdown a possibility, from whatever cause, in any multi megawatt reactor built since that time.
The constant denials by nuclear authorities in regard to the constant emissions by the failed Fukushima reactors came in spite of the routine findings to the contrary by those independent researchers who persisted despite the flood of industry propaganda. Ken Buesseler, a senior scientist with the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, has monitored thousands of fish taken from the ocean off Fukushima and has found continuing highly levels of short lived Cesium 134 in the ocean life. Buesseler stated “It’s getting into the ocean, no doubt about it,” he said. “The only news was that they finally admitted to this.” [17]
[..]
In those early days, the world was awash with the voices of an army of nuclear King Canutes, attempting, it seems, to hold back the flood of nuclear pollution from the public awareness. They failed to hold back the tide of truth as experienced by the people of Japan. It is no longer 1945, there is no legitimate basis for censorship, the people will be heard.
Hiroshi Sano spoke of his family’s ordeal in Iitate village, 20kms outside of the evacuation zone. The village was subject to heavy fallout from the reactors, but for an entire month no official told the village. The farmland lies ruined by fallout from the nuclear plant. The people have become scattered nuclear refugees: “I remember a stream of evacuees coming from the direction of the disaster. I never imagined that I myself would have to evacuate.” Sano says Iitate’s residents were becoming more fearful even before the evacuation order, as bulletins from the International Atomic Energy Agency and rumours on the Internet (which turned out to be correct) suggested the town had been showered with wind borne fallout.” [22] The withholding of computer generated fallout prediction information from the nation’s “SPEEDI” system is now infamous world wide. Japan gave the US military the data, and with held it from its own embattled and struggling people. Major newspapers in Japan describe the details of the “SPEEDI Deception”. The instruments of government are so controlled by the vested interests of nuclear industry that a public fallout prediction system is now known around the world by name as one of means by the people who paid for it were deceived. Nuclear authorities are not the only ones with a right to know. [23]
Greenpeace Map of Japan showing location of Iitate village in relation to the nuclear fallout of March 2011. [24]
In the end, the IAEA heard the month long pleadings from the independent monitors from Greenpeace. The Japanese government was forced, by international pressure, into evacuating a village it knew all along to be dangerously contaminated by nuclear fallout. [25] [26]
