Rossi on the Third Party Tests – LENR update, Slow but sure?
Click on the link for some most interesting comments
http://www.e-catworld.com/2013/03/rossi-on-the-third-party-tests/
By admin
No, the test results have not been released, but there are some people (including myself) who have been peppering Andrea Rossi with questions about the tests that are supposed to wind up within a few days. He has been opening up a bit about what is going on; it seems that if you ask the right questions, he is happy to provide information (within limits). Here are some of the Q & As that have been published on the Journal of Nuclear Physics in recent days.
Q. Is the Third party test finishing this week? or they still need more time for more thoroughly study.
A. I do not know. They are working by themselves. The tests were scheduled to finish this week, though.
Q. You say that the conclusions of this Third party would have no impact on the continuation of your project.
But if the conclusions of the Third party are negative, how would you market a product which a Third party says about it that it doesn’t work ?A. Yes, your comment is intelligent. This is the reason why I am very worried, because the pact we made with the Third Indipendent Party is that they will pay all their expenses and will publish the results, whatever the result. They didn’t even want we to pick up them at the airport.
In any case, we are close to the conclusion. I do not know what will be the result, I am not participating personally to the tests and obviously I do not participate to the briefings of the professors that are working on this issue. But my Cats are good, I’m sure they are working well. In any case, should the results be negative, under a commercial point of view what will count will be only the tests made by our Customers on the plants they bought.
Q. What restrictions, if any, are the scientists under regarding what they can do with the devices they are testing?
A. The sole restriction is that they cannot open the reactor and get information about what happens inside.Q. Will they test in self sustain mode?
A. Yes.Q. Can they push the E-Cat to its limits?
A. No, for safety reasons. They are measuring the efficiency of a Hot Cat working in a normal way, as it will do when working for a CustomerQ. Do the testers have to publish their results within a specified time frame (if yes, what is the deadline)?
A. No. They will publish where they want, when they want, but surely will publish.Q. Is the contract with the testers covered by an NDA?
A. There are no contracts, we do not pay them, they do not pay us, the pact is that they are free to publish the results, whatever the results are, just for scientific purpose. They want to know, beyond any reasonable doubt, if there is an effect that is not of chemical origin and if the energy at the input is less than the energy produced. This is their scientific goal and this is the reason they are making this test. About why I accepted this torture, do not ask me, because I don’t know: many times I make things against my will, as if somebody drives me like a resistance drives an E-Cat.Q. Do you have a representative or assistant present at the tests to help the scientists?
A. We have put at their disposal an assistant in case of necessity. The assistant does not participate to the data collection and to the discussions and cannot share with them papers and information. I do not participate at all and do not assist either.
The whole process seems to be somewhat informal, but guided by a gentlemen’s agreement which I hope will result in a thorough and candid report of the proceedings when all this comes to a conclusion. It seems like we are not the only ones being tortured by this whole affair!
Fukushima cleanup contractors told workers to lie about pay in ‘surprise’ inspections
…..A worker recorded the words of an official of one subcontractor after he summoned about 30 workers just before the inspection began. The official offered specific advice on how the workers should misinform the inspectors.
“You workers will likely be interviewed on an individual basis,” the official was recorded as saying. “I’d be pleased if you told (the inspectors) the full amount, not the actual amount you are receiving. Your take-home pay does not include fees for room and board. The correct answer is 15,700 yen, which is the minimum wage plus the allowances.”…..
…..The document mentioned “eight lunch boxes,” an apparent reference to the eight inspectors expected………

THE ASAHI SHIMBUN
http://ajw.asahi.com/article/0311disaster/fukushima/AJ201303230057
Contractors were tipped off about “surprise” inspections of decontamination work around the stricken Fukushima nuclear plant, giving them time to order workers to lie about hazard pay they weren’t receiving, The Asahi Shimbun learned.
One company official warned that failure to mislead the inspectors could cause every worker to lose financially.
The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has inspected about 110 companies and confirmed that 11 withheld hazard pay from their workers. The ministry’s inquiries came after The Asahi Shimbun reported on Nov. 5 that contractors in the radioactive cleanup work were apparently pocketing the taxpayer-funded daily hazard allowance of up to 10,000 yen ($106).
The number of confirmed nonpayment cases could increase.
The labor ministry plans to question contractors and other parties connected to the suspected cover-ups, which may constitute a violation of the Labor Standards Law or “coercion” as defined in the Penal Code.
The ministry also plans to review the inspection methods to prevent further information leaks.
Japan – Criticism arises over nuclear agency’s fees to view documents
….Yukiko Miki, head director of an NPO that seeks information transparency, said, “The NRA secretariat’s actions and its stated policy do not match. They should quickly secure the budget and administrative means to publically release the documents.”…..

Click here for the original Japanese story
Criticism has arisen over a decision by the secretariat to the Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) to charge a fee to view nuclear power-related documents that were previously free, in a move that goes against the agency’s policy of information transparency.
The change occurred in September last year when the agency was created and inherited the documents — around 40,000 binders of files such as application forms for the construction and operation of nuclear plants and safety evaluation forms — from a nuclear power resource center that it replaced. The center had made the documents available for browsing by the public, but under the NRA secretariat they are now kept in storage and have to be specifically requested to be seen.
According to the NRA secretariat’s general affairs department, the Tokyo building the agency resides in lacks the facilities to accept visitors wanting to see the documents, and in order to allow them to be read, it followed procedures under the Freedom of Information Act that designated the resources as “administrative documents,” which cost money to view. Those wanting to view the documents have to write their name and address on a request form and pay a 300-yen fee. In addition to users having to specify the documents they want, it can take up to 30 days until they are able to see them.
At the time of its founding, the agency decided on a policy of transparency, saying it would “voluntarily release information without waiting for requests from citizens.”
An official of the agency’s general affairs department said, “The charging of fees was due to the absence of facilities for visitors and was unavoidable, but we apologize. We would like to quickly set up the necessary facilities, but there is no prospect for it.”
UK – Nuclear submarines will be dismantled in Plymouth and Rosyth

DIG: Plymouth nuclear Dump Information Group

By KEITH ROSSITER Political Reporter
THE Ministry of Defence has confirmed that old nuclear submarines will be cut up in Devonport.
But fears that Plymouth could become the UK’s nuclear graveyard have been eased.
Defence Minister Philip Dunne said yesterday that submarine dismantling would be put to the test in Rosyth in Scotland. If the process works, the remainder of the UK’s retired nuclear fleet will be cut up in both Plymouth and Rosyth.
But he announced a further consultation on where intermediate-level nuclear waste would be stored, widening the choice to include commercial and other defence sites.
The consultation will start next year, and the Rosyth pilot will not go ahead until a storage site has been identified.

The world’s biggest submarine
This is submarine “Typhoon” as it was called in NATO documents or “Shark” as it was called in Russia. It is considered to be the biggest submarine in the world, with over than 170 meters (515 feet) long and 23 meter (70 feet) wide. It can carry 20 ballistic nuclear missiles and there were only six of those built. Only 3 left intact, but are staying now out of service with armament control blocks detached according to the agreement between USSR and USA signed by M. Gorbachev. Without those they are way too peaceful.

That’s No Train! Air Force Eyes Subway for Nuclear Missiles
- By Robert Beckhusen
- 03.14.13
The Air Force wants to upgrade its aging nuclear missiles and the hundreds of underground silos that hold them. One idea it’s exploring: the construction of a sprawling network of underground subway tunnels to shuttle the missiles around like a mobile doomsday train. As one does.
As first reported by Inside Defense, the Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center will award several study contracts next month worth up to $3 million each to research the idea. A broad agency announcement from the Air Force describes the hair-raising concept, intended to keep the weapons secure through 2075, as a system of tunnels where nuclear missiles are shuttled around on rails or some undefined “trackless” system.
The advantage of the world’s deadliest subway: During an atomic holocaust, mobile missiles are harder for an adversary to target than a static silo. Missiles could be positioned at launch holes placed at “regular intervals” along the length of the tunnels.
“The tunnel concept mode operates similar to a subway system but with only a single transporter/launcher and missile dedicated to a given tunnel,” stated the notice. “The tunnel is long enough to improve survivability but leaving enough room to permit adequate ‘rattle space’ in the event of an enemy attack.”

English summary here
The reason that the water level of the lake decreased is unclear.
The depth of the water of this lake is 15 meters.
When water level rises, drain it from the waterway into the river.
I have not yet done the confirmation of the waterway.
I consider the possibility of the slip-up of the worker of the waterway management.
There was little rainfall of this year, but it is not a cause.
The seismometer in the observatory of the neighborhood, slant system, GPS don’t have the change.
The top and bottom of the depth of the water of 1m is not rare.
The change of water level more than 2m is a rare phenomenon.
Volcanic activity and the relations with the earthquake are unknown.
An earthquake has been generated in Japan approximately one month after a drop of such a water level.

Most Americans are willing to Use Nuclear Weapons – New Report!
In one hypothetical scenario, the U.S. mission is to destroy a terrorist laboratory in the Middle East. Respondents were told that a nuclear attack on the lab would be twice as likely to succeed as a conventional attack. However, while 100 innocent bystanders would be killed in the non-nuclear assault, 25,000 people would die in the nuclear strike. In spite of the huge loss of life, 39% of the respondents chose the nuclear option. And 52% said they would approve of it as well if they learned about it after the fact….
Dropping the bomb isn’t so bad after all, in the minds of many Americans.

Martin Amis (born 25 August 1949) is a British novelist, essayist and short story writer. He is the son of Kingsley Amis. (Wiki)
A group of academics from Dartmouth and Stanford conducted a study (pdf) to see how serious a geopolitical situation would have to be in order for Americans to get behind a first strike involving nuclear weapons. The researchers went in thinking there would be a strong aversion to using nuclear weapons.
They were wrong.
“We found you barely have to put a finger on the scale,” Daryl Press, an associate professor at the Dartmouth College Department of Government, told Salon.
Participants in the study were presented with three different scenarios for addressing the problem of terrorists possessing nuclear weapons. Each scenario offered a solution involving conventional arms or nuclear weapons, with varying degrees of success for each choice.
“What we found is that, if we told the respondents that a conventional and a nuclear strike would be equally effective—you’d have the same chance of destroying the target—people preferred the conventional option by roughly 4 to 1,” Press said.
“But if we provided even a slight advantage to the nuclear option, the numbers flipped. At least half of the American public would support the use of nuclear weapons.”
When nukes provided a relatively slight advantage, 51.4% said they favored using them. When nukes provided a big advantage, the level of support jumped to 68.6%.

NRC Plays Hot Potato with FOIA Documents – Maggie Gundersen – Lucas Hixson – Kevin Hurley
Published on 22 Mar 2013
NRC Plays Keep Away…
Critical safety documents are continuously withheld from the public with a total lack of openness and transparency.
Fairewinds founder Maggie Gundersen and Enformable’s Editor Lucas Hixson meet with Kevin Hurley to discuss the difficulties the public has in obtaining information from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and from reactor owners. The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) has been a failure in allowing the public to have access to information that affects the safety of their communities.

Fukushima town’s sole resident speaks out in documentary – 原発20キロ圏内に生きる男 – Alone in the Zone
By Andrew Miller
Japan Today (See link for comments and links to offer support to this wonderful man! and for organisations related)
Mar. 22, 2013 – 06:59AM JST
TOKYO —
After the great earthquake and tsunami of March 11, 2011, there was also the explosion at the Fukushima nuclear plant, spreading radioactive contamination even as far as Tokyo. Now after two years, Fukushima’s 20-kilometer radioactive exclusion zone still remains in place.
While most families fled the contaminated areas in the early stages following the explosion, one brave man remained undeterred by it all, staying put in his hometown. Naoto Matsumura, 53, is believed to be the sole inhabitant within the 20-kilometer red zone.
Matsumura’s determination to remain rooted in the same place and see through the nuclear catastrophe has caught the attention of many, with his accounts even being adapted into a documentary. The documentary tells of the events after the great earthquake and Mutsumura’s reasons for remaining at his home despite all those around him fleeing, never to return. Perhaps even more interestingly, it gives some rather candid accounts of this man’s feelings towards Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), the company that operated the stricken Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.
Although the dialog is in Japanese, an explanation of the most pertinent and moving moments from the footage, along with the video itself, is included below. The footage of deserted towns and the way in which the wildlife has taken over the now uninhabited areas of Fukushima alone, however, make compelling viewing.
Immediately after the nuclear accident, Matsumura asked his close friend who somewhat ironically worked for TEPCO, if the situation was serious and whether there was cause for genuine concern. This so-called friend, despite having already rushed his own family far way from the site, replied, “No need to worry. I can see it all breezing over in a couple of days.” When Matsumura recalls this episode, it is difficult not to feel a pang of sadness for him as he adds, “Such heartlessness. In spite of all that happened, to continue the cold lies…”
Brief explanation of the documentary (footage below):
In the beginning of the documentary, Mr Matsumura, who lives in Tomioka in Fukushima, recalls the emotional trauma of being left alone after all the other residents had fled the area:
“The feeling of loneliness was so overbearing that it even numbed my sense of what it is to be lonely. Admittedly, acclimatizing to this new environment took me some time.”
He then recounts the reason for continuing to live in the hazard zone, commenting: ”I originally fled south, after the fourth reactor at Daichi exploded. Hoping to stay at my father’s house, I was bitterly disappointed after being turned away due to fears of radioactive contamination.”
As a final alternative, Matsumura turned to the closest evacuation center, but was denied entry due to the overwhelming number of citizens seeking refuge. He reached the point where finding a safe place to stay had become all too bothersome, and besides, Matsumura felt responsible for the livestock and pets waiting for him back home. With this, he once again returned to his hometown.
Later in the video he reflects of his fears of developing leukaemia five or 10 years down the line; however, he bravely shrugs this off by commenting: “If this were to happen, it’s something I’ll deal with at the time.”
In the closing moments of the footage, we see the starling images of some of Matsumura’s livestock that eventually died of starvation. He reflects on how Tomioka was once a place abundant in life and happiness. Ultimately, Tomioka is where he was born and raised, and “it’s a place where I’ll die”, he says.

東日本大震災から２年。福島県双葉郡富岡町は今なお立入禁止の警戒区域に指定されている。全町民が避難したなか、この地にたった独り、残ると決意した男が。松村直登、53歳。この地を襲った惨事に苛立ちながらも、彼が居続けるのには訳があった。警戒区域で孤独に暮らしてきた男が語った、愛と憎しみの２年間。
Two years since the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant went into full meltdown, and the resulting 20KM evacuation zone was enforced, one farmer still remains behind braving high levels of radiation and loneliness to tend to abandoned animals. His name is Naoto Matsumura, and he is the last man standing in the ghost town of Tomioka. Another farmer, Kenji Hasegawa’s town of Iidate was also evacuated due to high levels of radiation, he sought refuge in temporary housing. Faced with a post-nuclear world both these men share brutally honest views on the state of their lives, TEPCO, government inaction and some of the hardest situations they have had to face in the midst of overwhelming radioactivity.

Japanese nuclear Waste: Managing a Lethal Legacy – NHK
Published on 23 Mar 2013
NHK Documentary: Nuclear Waste Managing a Lethal Legacy
It’s been about 2 years since the accident. Nuclear power plants across the country still store huge amounts of spent fuel. No one has found a way to deal with the spent fuel. Nor no sites have been found for its final disposal. The spent fuel kept piling up. It now amounts to 17 thousand tons for Japan as a whole. Some nuclear plants could run out of storage space in about 2 years if they were to go back online. What can be done about this nuclear waste which has nowhere to go? We’ll explore several paths to resolving this critical issue.

Sellafield smoke stack incident – 20 October 2012 – Picture-repost
USA -Study will assess cancer risks -Flawed methodology? Media ignoring other studies?
the top industry trade group had argued against it, saying the study is “unlikely to produce scientifically defensible results.”
Will the methodology use qualitative research (real data) or quantitative research (statistics and mathematical formula)?
The USA budget for radiation monitoring has been reduced by 40 percent even before the study has begun. is this a coincidence? Therefore NO real data!
The Domestic Nuclear Detection Office (DNDO) is a jointly staffed agency within the Department of Homeland Security. DNDO is the primary entity in the U.S. government for implementing domestic nuclear detection efforts for a managed and coordinated response.
[…]
Occupy the NRC (Nuclear Regulatory Commission) WTF??? WHY ARE WE CUTTING THE DNDO BUDGET BY 40%??? Shouldn’t we be INCREASING the detection of radiation in our country b/c there’s an ongoing nuclear disaster in Japan and the prevailing winds are in OUR direction?? It rains down in OUR crops, contaminates OUR food supply, and gets in OUR air and water!! Would someone please explain that to the people in charge!!! Never mind the fact that many of our own 104 aging nuclear power plants also leak and when they do the leaking is invisible. Shouldn’t we be spending MORE on monitoring all of this instead of cutting the budget by 40%?? In the middle of an ongoing nuclear disaster it seems really stupid to be slashing the radiation monitoring budget.

Methodology of NPP cancer study
“Geographic areas to use in the study (e.g., county, zip codes, census tracts, or annular rings around the facility at some nominal distances)”
The use of annular rings or nominal distances is a farce as the fallout from the tall chimney stacks can travel some way before it touches ground.”
Here is a quote from a report on atmospheric effects on stack emissions The idea is to loft the emissions up and get them to travel far.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
“..In most problems one must estimate the effective stack height, H, at which the plume becomes essentially level. Rarely will this height correspond to the physical height of the stack, h. If the plume is caught in the turbulent wake of the stack or of buildings in the vicinity of the stack, the effluent will be mixed rapidly downward toward the ground (aerodynamic downwash). If the plume is emitted free of these turbulent zones, a number of emission factors and meteorological factors influence the rise of the plume….”

A good example i noticed was reported as a UFO but was actually a smoke ring from the Sellafield Stack. It is likely they had a chimney fire and a sudden release creating this perfect circle of dense and highly radioactive smoke. high dosage enough to kill birds perhaps Picture here;
The rain that fell in London was radioactive though not as bad as some other releases this year and last. London is about 240 miles and the fallout probably travelled 350 miles to get here (about 500 km)
And this post from the comments at Enenews
We’ve had up to 0.25 microsievert/hr in the rain on Friday and up to 0.15 microsievert/h on Saturday
Air reading taken 1 meter of the ground
radon etc from waste processing
and on Saturday night we had a very intense sunset
———————————————————————-
Here is a video of the sunset taken by a north London blogger
No Sun ALL day..then this (beautiful) Chemical Sunset?
From jamnoise72
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGDuDFyyELU
Also, the BBC reported that this week we might get red rain. They say it would be from the Sahara . last weekend the rain left dust on the vehicles though but not heavy,, likely Pb210 from radon that came from Sellafield to London the low level winds came from the north but a circulating force took the emissions across north England to be caught by the south heading winds in the north sea. We had a red dust left after the rain a few times this year and always with measurable increases in the radiation levels and releases from NPP`s and nuclear waste processing sites.
The major point here though is that the study will not look at where the contamination comes down if it uses the above listed methodologies. This was a point made also by Prof. Chris Busby. It is very hard to trace even given new techniques and technologies.
The study will be flawed if the stack releases and downwind positions are not monitored with real people instead of statistics The same trick has been used concerning the children of Fukushima where the World Health Organisation released a mathematical projection that the children would have no harm given the releases from Daichi but then a few weeks later the real test results came out and refuted the World Health reports claims. too late though as all the health professionals and media had already published the flawed WHO report.

Canada- AECL raises nuclear waste liabilities estimate by two-thirds after SOI agreement with the USA!
AECL’s Chalk River Laboratories in Ontario – the oldest and largest site in the NLLP – accounts for some 70% of the liabilities included in the program. Its Whiteshell Laboratories and the nearby Underground Research Laboratory in Manitoba represent a further 20% of the liabilities. Three shutdown prototype reactors – the Nuclear Power Demonstration reactor, the Douglas Point reactor and the Gentilly-1 reactor – account for most of the remaining 10%.
“EM highly values international cooperation, and the SOI is a major step forward in strengthening both the United States’ and Canada’s efforts to expand the technical depth of our cleanup programs,” Williams said.
Miller said, “AECL looks forward to the information exchange facilitated by this agreement with the Office of Environmental Management which enables both parties to realize benefits to the delivery of our respective missions.” March 5, 2013 http://ndreport.com/u-s-and-canada-sign-statement-of-intent-on-nuclear-cleanup/
AECL raises liabilities estimate
22 March 2013
WNN
Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd (AECL) has advised the Canadian government that its estimated liabilities for nuclear decommissioning and waste management have increased by two-thirds to C$6 billion ($5.9 billion).
In mid-2012, AECL began a comprehensive review of its nuclear liabilities through the Nuclear Legacy Liabilities Program (NLLP). The review is intended to reflect best practices in nuclear decommissioning and waste management of Canada’s nuclear legacy, mainly comprising AECL’s Chalk River Laboratories. The last such review was completed in 2005.
AECL has now advised the government that its estimate of the liability has increased by C$2.4 billion ($2.3 billion) from the previous estimate of C$3.6 billion ($3.5 billion). The company said that the adjustment will be reflected in the government’s financial results for 2012-13.
However, it noted that confirmation of the amount of the adjustment “will be subject to verification by AECL management, review and approval by its board and audit by its external auditors, the Office of the Auditor General and KPMG.”
