Japan detects xenon 133 in air – Blames North Korea but could the source be a bit closer to home?
Feb. 22, 2013 – 07:05AM JST
Japan Today
TOKYO —
Japanese planes detected a trace amount of xenon-133 during monitoring flights over Japan the day after North Korea carried out its third nuclear test last week, the science ministry said Thursday.
The radioactive material amounting to 1.9 millibecquerels per cubic meter of air was detected from samples collected at an altitude of 300 meters off the coast of Aichi Prefecture in central Japan, Jiji Press reported.
It was the first time Japan had detected xenon-133 since it strengthened radiation monitoring in response to the test on Feb 12, the news agency said.
Xenon-133 is released into the air not just by an atomic explosion but also from nuclear power plants and medical institutions.

Ministry officials quoted by Jiji said they did not know whether the xenon was connected to the North’s underground test.
South Korean warships and air force planes equipped with highly sensitive detection devices were deployed after the blast to try and collect any traces of radioactive fallout.
But Seoul experts said on Feb 14 they had been unable to detect any.
Experts are eager to discover whether the North used highly enriched uranium for its latest test rather than plutonium as in 2006 and 2009.
An enriched uranium program would give the North a new and easier way to produce bomb-making material.

Xenon 133 is not listed and is just a by-product of the Fissioning process and could also be a by-product of medical isotopes! Ohi nuclear Plant had a shut down about a couple of weeks ago..

Fukushima Cover-Up by NRC et al. – Video interviews concerning Operation Tomodachi
Published on Feb 20, 2013
Please see these documents below for proof of a conspiracy to cover up the magnitude of the cover up of the radioactive plume from March 20, 2011 conference calls from the NRC obtained by the FOIA documents
http://pbadupws.nrc.gov/docs/ML1205/M…
and these NRC conference calls
March 21 Part 1 http://pbadupws.nrc.gov/docs/ML1300/M…
March 21 Part 2 http://pbadupws.nrc.gov/docs/ML1300/M…
NOTE: The Mar 27th one is the one that talks about the plume model not picking up the first 24 hours of the plume so all the “runs” were skewed 50 percent lower as a result. And the most that they modeled for, the “Super-core” was only 33 percent of the reactor inventory. The conservative plausible “bounding” model was at 25 percent reactor inventory. But like I said, it allowed for most of the plume to escape before it started recording. Big F up, as this became an arguing point that the numbers for particulate measurement was way too high for them to make sense of. Trusting a flawed program from TEPCO (& the Japanese Gov’t) rather than the actual measurements that the Navy measured was a fatal flaw.

Operation Tomodachi was a humanitarian mission conducted in Japan after the 9.0 earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear disaster that began March 11th, 2011 and lasted 80 days. 70,000 US servicemen & women from the Navy, Airforce, Army & Marines delivered food, blankets & water in areas of devastation. What they didn’t know was the severity of radiation exposure they received since TEPCO refused to acknowledge the extent of what was happening at the Fukushima plant. A registry was created to track subsequent health problems by the Department of Defense, but that program was recently abandoned. As many servicemen and women have already begun to exhibit severe health issues a lawsuit was filed in San Diego Federal Court against TEPCO by Environmental Law Attorney Paul Garner, to establish a medical fund for the servicemen & women who were involved in this operation as well as their families in Japan. We speak to Mike Seybourn about what it was like to work in a highly radioactive environment and what the future may hold for he and his family in terms of health. Paul Garner also joins us to discuss the lawsuit, dealing with TEPCO, and what kind of problems his clients are having.
If you were involved in Operation Tomodachi and have questions or concerns about your health status please contact Paul Garner at 760.600.0081 or email him at pcg@garnerlaw.com or his associate daryljbrooks@roadrunner.com

Your support is needed to sustain and grow Our Planet TV!
Even after the tragic accident on March 11th, at the Fukushima nuclear power plant the government and TEPCO continued to underestimate and underreport the severity of the accident and the potential effects on the surrounding population.
The mainstream media followed this lead by not questioning the information they were getting from the government and TEPCO and simply passed along what they were being told, always telling the best case scenario.
Our Planet TV has been covering the whole incident and given transparent information about the incident as opposed to the mass media. We especially have been focusing on children’s health issue and safety problems related to people’s daily life. For parents living close to the nuclear incidents epicenter, it has been crucial for them to have access to objective information regarding the disastrous situation.
By giving donations to Our Planet TV, we will be able to provide diverse perspectives that rarely heard in the corporate-sponsored Japanese media to people in Japan and all around the world.

Fukushima, the hidden disaster – Politicians in Japan that spoke out!
21st February 2013
Arclight2011
One of the situations that developed after the earthquake and the resulting Meltdowns of three nuclear reactor cores and a mysterious explosion in the number four reactor building, was that the Japanese government and local officials did not appear to be open and transparent in their dealing of the crisis,
Some vocal outrage on the issues surrounding the people of Fukushima was heard, even though the local and national press (with few exceptions) were censored in not making any statements on any possible or happening effects caused by ionising radiation from the Daichi nuclear disaster and to generally support the Japanese government and corporate line.
However, here one of the members of parliament to challenge the way the disaster was being held was Kawada Ryuehi. He is a Member of the House of Councillors and amongst other accomplishments he is a representative of the Human Rights Activist Society.
On the 2nd November 2012 he made an explosive challenge to the way the disaster was being managed. He brought some urgent questions to the floor of the house concerning the Child Victims Support Law. This issue was not covered by the main stream media outlets outside of Japan.
Here is the video with English subtitles and a full transcript of the Law in question below it on the link provided :
Some memorable quotes here
“People feel betrayed and are disappointed”
“ The east Japan reconstruction project, set up after raising taxes specifically to rescue nuclear accident victims, has been used for unrelated purposes as the media has disclosed…. because the government modified the Reconstruction Law insidiously so it could use the budget for things other than reconstruction.”
And concerning the governments mismanagement in keeping records of the placement of refugees throughout Japan, he had this to say:
“…keeping us yet from getting hold of the number of refugees. Twenty months have passed since the quake and the refugees can no longer wait. We can not go ahead with the Child Victim Support Law without knowing the number of affected people…..”
I or someone will be breaking down his speech further in another article/post but the video is worth a watch even if to hear the hecklers trying to shout him down.. They did not succeed!!
Akira Matsu is a Japanese politician of the New Komeito Party, a member of the House of Councillors in the Diet (national legislature). A native of Kanagawa Prefecture.
In September 29 2011 made an impassioned speech on behalf of a pregnant mother with 4 four children who had discovered her children had all tested positive for cesium 137 and cesium 134 (no tests for Strontium 90 etc have been done to date).
The children were publicly rebuked by their teachers if they did not drink the contaminated milk. Please note the reaction (or non reaction) of the politicians during her talk. To compare the situation of these victim children who refused the contaminated milk, she made this quote:
“They were treated like traitors during the war”
And as she talked of the mother fears about being forced to consider leaving her home in the fukushima prefecture, Osamu Fujimura and Yukio Edano both ministers of the government are seen on the video to be laughing at her concerns of her constituents. Here is a short video for that
The number of nuclear warheads based on submarines will no longer go down, it starts to rise again.
Russia today started mooring tests of the third Borey-class ballistic submarine “Vladimir Monomakh”.
Vladimir Monomakh will be the third and last Project 955 boat that is armed with 16 Bulava ballistic missiles. The fourth and subsequent boats will be Project 955A vessels with 20 missiles.
As BarentsObserver reported, the first submarine of the class, “Yury Dolgoruky”, was taken into service on January 10 after twelve years of construction. The second vessel of the class, “Aleksandr Nevsky” is currently undertaking sea trials and is due to enter service later this year. The fourth sub, “Knyaz Vladimir”, is under construction.
Sevmash shipyard in Severodvinsk reports that sea trials of “Vladimir Monomakh” will start this summer.
As previously reported by BarentsObserver, the inclusion of the “Yuri Dolgorukii” in the Northern Fleet marks a shift in Russia’s nuclear forces. The number of nuclear warheads based on submarines will no longer go down, it starts to rise again.

Mox fuel for reactors in the UK, Europe and the Middle East could be built at Springfields Fuels facility – North England!
“When the economy recovers such that it becomes easier for investors to secure finance for major infrastructure projects, the opportunities for nuclear new build and the chance to maintain and service these reactors will open up.
“Whatever decisions we make at the moment, we have to think long-term, 15 to 20 years from now.”
Highly-skilled jobs to stay for next 60 years?
By David Coates
Published on Wednesday 20 February 2013 08:17
Highly-skilled jobs will remain at a Lancashire nuclear fuel factory for at least the next 60 years, according to an industry leader.
Mike Tynan, chief executive of Westinghouse UK, said its Springfields Fuels facility at Salwick, near Preston, would continue to build fuel for the country’s power stations for the next decade as it bids to secure a deal to build part of the new fleet of reactors.
He said he was “extremely confident” Westinghouse would build its AP1000 reactor in the UK with a site close to Sellafield in Cumbria the most likely location for the next development.
The boss, whose business has its head office at Matrix Park on Buckshaw Village, near Leyland, said the company remained committed to the facility which employs hundreds of workers.
He said: “Springfields has been making the country’s nuclear fuel for 60 years and I am confident it will continue to do so for the next 60 years.
“When the economy recovers such that it becomes easier for investors to secure finance for major infrastructure projects, the opportunities for nuclear new build and the chance to maintain and service these reactors will open up.
“Whatever decisions we make at the moment, we have to think long-term, 15 to 20 years from now.”
Westinghouse is also looking to build to build the AP1000 in Europe, with opportunities in the Czech Republic and Poland, and in the Middle East.
The company has confirmed any fuel for reactors in the UK, Europe and the Middle East could be built at Springfields.
Mr Tynan said NuGen, the European consortium which has an option to build a reactor the Moorside site, next to Sellafield, had backed Westinghouse’s bid to secure the green light from regulators for the AP1000 through the Generic Design Assessment process.
He said: “We have a long-term relationship with GDF and Iberdrola (the utility giants which own the NuGen consortium) and we would very much welcome our involvement at Moorside.
The chief executive added there had been no discussions around developing the sites at Heysham, near Morecambe, Bradwell in Essex and Hartlepool in County Durham, which are earmarked for new reactors.

Terminal problems with the electric car! No nuclear future? except the UK?

Funding for the scheme comes from the Government’s £400 million commitment to increase the uptake of ultra-low emission vehicles and is available until April 2015…..”19 February 2013 By Edward Gen

Making Coal Car Batteries: The CO2 Impact
Posted on Jun 16, 2011
A London group with the comically oxymoronic name of Low Carbon Vehicle Partnership has been busy disproving its own sponsored premise. Turns out that manufacturing a battery for a typical “electric” car puts 3.8 tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. That’s two-thirds of the carbon emitted in the manufacturing of a complete medium-sized gasoline car.
What additional carbon dioxide would be emitted in the process of scrapping or recycling millions of “electric” car batteries every year? As the LCVP admits, that remains one of our “gaps in understanding.”
The inescapable fact is that no automobile will ever be “low carbon.” Merely making these rolling piles of metal and plastic and lithium is inherently energy- and carbon-intensive.
DbC will say it again: Cars-first transportation was and is a capitalist pipe-dream.
Is a nuclear-powered car in our future?
September 1, 2011
Stevens hasn’t set a date on when his prototype will be completed, but whether this technology will ever see the light of day is a valid question. Judging from his past online posts in forums and news sites, he’s been touting this system for years despite his claim that auto manufacturers could have it working in vehicles within two years. And even if Stevens manages to pull off a thorium-powered car, it’s likely to raise safety concerns.

Nuclear power undermines electric cars’ green image
Updated 2012-03-25
“….The government is trying to restart dozens of nuclear power plants for the first time since the Fukushimi disaster last year that resulted from the March earthquake and tsunami. Nuclear power now has a terrible image problem because of the fire and radiation leaks at the plant.
Since electric cars run on juice from the nuclear power plants, owners are having trouble trying to replace the green halo that they thought they could proudly wear before the disaster, the Associated Press reports, via Bloomberg BusinessWeek. In Japan, just as in the U.S., electric cars were being seen as important symbols of a green future. Nissan’s Leaf electric, among others, is made in Japan where it is sold in addition to being shipped to the U.S.
Electric cars have the same problem in the U.S., but it is generally overlooked. Much of the electricity in the U.S. is made from coal, oil or nuclear generation……”
“…..In Japan, electric car drivers are already feeling the heat. With nuclear likely to remain a major source of power, “then the green image of the electric car will get bashed to bits, maybe to the extent it will be irreparable,” Ryuichi Kino, who has written books on nuclear power and hybrid technology, is quoted as saying by the AP….”
Why we will never have nuclear powered cars

For one thing, the regulatory hurdles to getting a nuclear reactor into an automobile are likely to be insurmountable. All nuclear power reactors must conform to strict safety and security guidelines.
Depleted Uranium in Afghanistan – Alex Newman
“..Camil said the U.S. should bear all costs and that those who ordered the use of DU during the “organized murder called war” should be tried as war criminals….”
“…The use of DU continues in Iraq today and something must be done, before there is more “collateral damage” (army jargon for civilian casualties including women and children) and before more of our troops die or become ill. Barber said that there are 150 troops with DU shrapnel inside them already….”
Alex Newman
Dear Editor,
The U.S. military has been using depleted uranium in Afghanistan and Iraq in violation of International Law for years. According to David Barber, a researcher at the University of Florida who has studied the effects of DU for the military for 5 years, the use of DU poses many serious threats to the health our troops, civilians in these regions, future generations and to the environment. I ask you to please read my article and if possible, to publish it. Most people have never heard of depleted uranium, and regardless of one`s political affiliation or stance on the war, the use of DU should stop. Please help me to inform your readers.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Alex Newman
The depleted uranium being used by the American military has nasty side effects on people and the environment, and the government is not taking any serious action to stop its use despite all the available information. Depleted uranium is useful to the army because of its extraordinary density, said David Barber of the Center for Environmental and Human Toxicology at the University of Florida. Barber has been studying the effects of DU for five years in a study funded by the U.S. military.
DU was first used by the Israeli military against Arabs and has since been adopted by the U.S. Scott Camil, a Vietnam veteran who is still active in defending the rights of veterans, is also familiar with DU.

Bulgaria economy at point of no return: Over reliance on nuclear and coal? No sustainables
What we are seeing time and again is governments when they run businesses, they have too much inefficiency, they have too many layers, we’ve never seen a model of a governemnt running a business as efficient as a corporate sponsor. It’s sad and I feel sorry for these people I mean their bills have gone up tremendously.
Image source : http://www.bellona.org/articles/articles_2012/belen_referendum
The comment comes as several thousand people took to the streets across Bulgaria on Tuesday to protest against the right-wing government of Prime Minister Boyko Borisov.
Earlier on Monday, Bulgaria’s unpopular finance minister, Simeon Djankov, was removed from office after protests over high electricity bills snowballed into anti-government demonstrations.
“We’ve lived through communism and remember the personality cult towards (the dictator) Todor Zhivkov. But what we have now surpasses it — it’s Boyko for breakfast, Boyko for lunch, Boyko for dinner, while people don’t have anything to eat. We’re fed up,” a protester was quoted as saying.
Press TV has conducted an interview with economic expert Roland Amore to further discuss the issue. What follows is an approximate transcription of the interview.
Press TV: Many thanks for joining us here on Press TV sir. Now looking at the government’s plan for privatization of many public sector services specifically with regards to utilities it’s quite clear that the public is not happy with this move. What do you think the government can do now?
Amore: Well, you know the government, first of all thank you for having me on. The government has limited options, you’ve got to remember when they renationalize or if they renationalize basically in providing these services at a much cheaper price they don’t have the ability to do so. From a balance sheet or a revenue statement it’s really a subside.
What you see across Europe, you see it in Spain, you see it in Germany, you see it in Greece is decades of massive-state spending, has brought them to the point where they can no longer afford it.
I mean if Bulgaria wants to renationalize its utilities and subsidize the utility rate that puts an economic strain on them. Most of the European Union they’re at the last bit of financial recourses that they have. They have to look at other solutions. It’s either that or the countries themselves will go bankrupt.
It’s an unfortunate circumstance that has come to this but it’s the result of decades, not years but decades of massive-state spending which was done with good intentions. The problem is it defied good economics. It’s unfortunate but that’s what occurred.
Eutelsat’s boss continues war on media freedom ! Target Iran!
Image source : No free media with military censorship
19 Febuary 2013
Press TV
Eutelsat’s secretary Edoudardo Silverio has written a letter to Nilesat authorities, demanding them to stop broadcasting Iranian channels, including Press TV.
“We hereby officially request again that you discontinue the broadcast of these IRIB [Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting] channels within 48 hours of your receipt of this letter,” read the letter dated February 18.
The letter came in response to Nilesat’s refusal to pull the plug on Press TV.
In December 2012, a US intelligence analyst said the French-based satellite provider Eutelsat SA is a company whose agenda has been long dictated to it by Israeli extremist groups.
“Eutelsat is a person, not a company. Eutelsat says it is European, but it is actually Israeli. French sounding ‘Michel de Rosen’, an Israeli citizen, runs Eutelsat company with Israeli stockholders; a company long dictated to by extremist groups within Israel, the militant ultra-nationalists of the Likudist regime of [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu,” Gordon Duff told Press TV at that time.
Eutelsat SA ordered media services company, Arqiva, on October 15, 2012, to stop the broadcast of several Iranian satellite channels, including Press TV.
The company’s only press release stated that the decision was based on reinforced European Union Council sanctions and a confirmation by France’s broadcasting authority, but an EU spokesperson told Press TV that the sanctions contain no such orders.

NJ Can’t Oversee Nuclear Materials, DC Circ. Again Rules
By Daniel Wilson Law360, New York (February 19, 2013, 6:30 PM ET) —
The D.C. Circuit on Tuesday invalidated for the second time a U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission decision transferring radioactive materials oversight for New Jersey-based sites to the state, saying the agency had failed to show it had properly exercised its transfer authority.
In a 2-1 decision, the three-judge panel vacated the NRC’s decision to transfer radioactive materials oversight for sites within New Jersey to the state, ruling the agency had not clearly shown which rules control the decommissioning of nuclear facilities in the state and related disposal…
