In hour 3 of the show and following last weeks interview with fellow protester Gerry Bourke we have an exclusive interview with protester Liam Heffernan who was in the Irish courts last week to win a landslide victory against Shell Oil and their criminal actions against protesters. This podcast needs to be listened to by all free thinking irish peoples.

This interview went on for longer than expected because Liam documented for us the goings on by Shell Oil and their corporate backers. Liam has not been asked for interview concerning this story though he is central to the Landmark decision by the Irish Jury to support the rights of Protest (Currently being undermined by many European Governments). We try to analyse some of the reasons that are stopping journalists reporting this massive story behing the “Booze for Gardai “ scandal.

As you might expect the similarities between the Industrial disaster zones that are BP, Shell and TEPCO are discussed including how the PR companies like WPP have contributed to activist harrasmment, stopping the media reporting and finding compliant experts to sooth the publics “fears”.

Reconstruction plans drawn up for no-go municipalities near Fukushima plant

On Saturday a panel at the Reconstruction Agency produced a final draft of proposals to help 12 municipalities in Fukushima Prefecture recover from the March 2011 nuclear accident.
The proposals include improving medical services to help the evacuees being forced to return home, developing new industries to create jobs, and beefing up administrative services by getting municipalities to cooperate with each other more closely. The draft declares a goal of completing reconstruction plans by 2020. The municipalities are all located close to the Fukushima nuclear plant, the site of the disaster.
The central government says they will work to secure funding. The central government has also pledged to lift evacuation orders for the 12 municipalities, by March 2017, although areas with “persistently high radiation levels” are excluded from the target.

20 μSv/h still detected in Fukushima city

FULL VIDEO (courtesy of 福島日報ダイジェスト)

It went over scale of the ordinary dosimeter tested by Ministry of the Environment.

A citizen’s group on the look out for hotspots finds over 20 uSv/h spikes in a park, frequented by children and joggers, in Watari, Fukushima shi, by the Abukuma riverbed. 5 years into the crisis, hotspots can be found aplenty.

Putting aside the many hotspots as seen in the following video, the average measurement across the park remains 0.5 uSv/h. That does not deter the nearby High School to send off students for a little run … in areas close to 1 uSv/h.

As the brave residents recorded a nearby hotspot of more than 20 uSv/h, a mother could be seen in the same vicinity, playing in the grass with her small child.

Sendai nuclear plant to restart as early as Aug.10

The operator of the Sendai nuclear power plant in southern Japan submitted an application on Friday to the country’s regulator to get final approval for putting one of its reactors online.

Kyushu Electric Power Company is hoping to turn on the reactor as early as August 10th.

The utility has completed the assembly of the reactor core after loading nearly 160 fuel rod assemblies into the plant’s No.1 reactor in early July.

It has also finished checking a water level gauge system for the containment vessel and confirmed that it is working normally.

Kyushu Electric Power will also conduct a drill starting from Monday to train for a possible severe accident. The exercise is mandated by the government’s new regulations to be performed before a reactor is restarted.

If no problems are found, the No. 1 reactor will go online as early as August 10th.

Last year the plant cleared the government’s new regulations introduced after the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi plant. It was the first nuclear facility in Japan to do so
