VIDEO: old nuclear weapons storage facility
VIDEO: Cold War nuclear weapons storage facility video now available, Phys Org, 25 July 13 Down a remote canyon near Los Alamos National Laboratory lies a facility known as the “Tunnel Vault,” once one of the most secret and secure locations in the United States, it’s the original post-WWII nuclear stockpile storage area.Located in Los Alamos canyon at Technical Area 41, the Tunnel Vault was built between 1948 and 1949. The facility has a formidable security perimeter, a hardened guard tower—complete with gun ports and bulletproof glass—and a series of gates and doors that lead to a 230-foot long concrete tunnel that goes straight into the canyon wall.
At the end of the tunnel is a large alcove room with a single bank vault door. Through that door is a vault built inside a vault with five storage areas, all protected with identical bank vault doors. All these features can be seen on a video that tours the recently declassified, historically significant facility……http://phys.org/news/2013-07-cold-war-nuclear-weapons-storage.html
Radiating Americans: Fukushima rain, Clinton’s secret food pact
“I’m estimating over the next five years, you’re going to see a 20% increase in lung cancer. You’re not going to be able to say a person’s individual cancer came from Fukushima, but when you look at northern Japan, whatever the rate would have been, there will be a 20% more.”
http://www.examiner.com/article/radiating-americans-fukushima-rain-clinton-s-secret-food-pact
Fukushima is far from stabilized according to energy advisor veteran with 39 years of nuclear power engineering experience, Arnie Gundersen who told Solar IMG Saturday that Americans, not just in the northwest, are unaware of being rained on with Fukushima nuclear hot particles and eating Fukushima contaminated food because the US government has deliberately minimized the catastrophe, partially due to a pact Secretary of State Hillary Clinton signed with Japan. Gundersen, with a team of other scientists, intends to prove government statements about Fukushima are false.
“The United States came up with a decision to downplay Fukushima,” said Gundersen who is awakening the public with information such as hot particles in rain will continue falling in the U.S., not just in the Pacific Northwest, for another year, and mentioning high-level fallout in Oklahoma a few days ago.
Gundersen told SolarIMG that high-level people he knows in the State Department said Hillary Clinton signed a pact with her counterpart in Japan agreeing for the United States to continue buying food from Japan, despite that food not being properly tested for radioactive materials.
“So we are not sampling the food coming into the United States,” he said, repeating, “The US government has come up with a decision at the highest levels of the State Department, as well as other departments who made a decision to downplay Fukushima.”
In April, the month after the powerful tsunami and earthquake crippled Japan including its nuclear power plant, “Hillary Clinton signed a pact with Japan that she agreed there is no problem with Japanese food supply and we will continue to buy them so we are not sampling food coming in from Japan” according to Gundersen.
Due to this high degree of secrecy enshrouding the Fukushima nuclear catastrophe, that Gundersen said is ongoing, he has called on Americans with Geiger counters to send samples to him for an independent research team’s study.
Gundersen says the new study will prove that what the U.S. government is telling Americans is false.
To help Americans come to terms with the present and ongoing Fukushima catastrophe, the former nuclear industry senior vice president who earned his Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees in nuclear engineering, who holds a nuclear safety patent, and was a licensed reactor operator, Arnie Gundersen recently featured on his Fairwinds website a new documentary short titled, “Dial ‘M’ For Meltdown.”
Brian Rich created the video to ensure the history of commercial nuclear power was documented and presented to a younger generation.
“I found most of the public was turned off by the complex nature of Nuclear Physics, even if what they didn’t know was going to kill them and their loved ones,” reported Rich.
One reason millions will die from Fukushima is what some experts in July called scandalous collusion to cover-up the horrendous facts about the nuclear holocaust occurring.

FILM: HOT WATER exposes scandal of uranium mining and cancer
HOT WATER http://www.zerohotwater.com/ When you were growing up, how many people did you know who had cancer? How many do you know today? Filmmakers Liz Rogers and Kevin Flint go to South Dakota following a story about Uranium contamination only to discover that the problem flows much farther, and runs deeper than they could have imagined. Three years and thousands of miles later, “Hot Water” tells of those impacted by Uranium mining, atomic testing, nuclear energy and the contamination that runs through our air, soil and even more dramatically, our water.
From ‘Fat Man’ and ‘Little Boy’ to ‘Duck and Cover’ we believed it was safe to eat, drink and breathe in the shadow of the Atomic Bomb. “Hot Water” begs the question, are the 38 million people in the American southwest aware that their water supply is filtered through millions of tons of radioactive waste lying on the banks of the Colorado River?
Our ground water, air and soil are contaminated with some of the most toxic heavy metals known to man – the subsequent health and environmental damage will take generations and in some cases, thousands of years to heal.
Follow Liz, Kevin and their team as they travel the American west and expose uranium mining and our atomic legacy for what it is, and for what it’s left behind.
Great interview on this link..
Former Rep. Dennis Kucinich, his wife Elizabeth Kucinich and filmmaker Liz Rogers discussed their new documentary “Hot Water” about uranium mining and the nuclear industry with POLITICO’s Patrick Gavin.
Fiji’s solar expert grandmothers show the way
AUDIO Fijian grandmothers educating locals on solar panel installation http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-07-17/fiji-grandmothers-educating-younger-generation-on-solar-pane/4826594 Jul 17, 2013 A group of grandmothers in Fiji are educating the younger generation on solar panel installation to generate electricity in their villages.
The elderly women underwent training at the Barefoot College in India, an NGO that provides rural communities with training and education. Fiji’s Womens Minister, Dr Jiko Luveni, has told Radio Australia’s Pacific Beat program the training programme was specifically for grandmothers.
“The idea behind it is that these women are already established in the villages,” Dr Luveni said.
“They have their homes and they are not likely to leave the village as soon as they come back with their skill. Dr Luveni says the elderly women are now celebrated as solar experts and are supervising their young trainees as they install the solar equipment.
“After the training, it was these young people who actually installed the equipment in each house,” she said.
“The grandmothers were merely supervising what they did.
She says the initiative is bringing about various other social benefits to the villages.
“In this particular village that I went into, I could see that the moral of the villagers were boosted as they have a product that is an evidence of development in their villages,” Dr Luveni said.
“That village has gone into some income generating activity…They are more development oriented in their thinking.
“That particular village now has established a canteen and he young people are being recruited to help in the assemblage and installation of the solar equipment in those villages. Thereby, gaining an income,” she said.

They tried to tell me that basically I was an idiot, that I didn’t know what I was doing. I’ve never had media professionals deal with me in that way. I’ve been around for a long time. […]
I was really surprised at the way I was treated. They said do you even know how to Google? […]
They really tried to browbeat me into not doing the story at all. They said, ‘We think that you will be publicly humiliated if you go on TV and online and report this because what you are saying is so absurd — You’re saying we ignored a leak?’

Radioactive Fish, Pacific Ocean, Fukushima Leaking MORE Radiation
Kevin Kamps, Radioactive Waste Watchdog at Beyond Nuclear: Well, the best I can come up with for what’s happening in recent days and weeks at Fukushima Daiichi is hemorrhaging of radioactivity.
And the scariest part of all is that they don’t know where it’s coming from.
But ultimately it’s coming from 3 melted down atomic reactor cores and severely damaged, if not entirely destroyed, radiological containment structures. That’s where it’s ultimately coming from.
But why it’s getting out now in such a hurry all of a sudden is the big mystery.
Japan’s strange and menacing radioactive black substance
I would say they’re much more an ingestion hazard. And that usually tends to target children and agricultural workers. […] A child on average consumes between 100 and 200 milligrams of soil a day because of hand-to-mouth activity. So that’s something to really think about.

“Pandora’s Promise” deadly wrong conclusion in this nuclear advertising film
Despite the unknowns, Pandora wants a massive turn to new types of nuclear power plants. The world’s power plants currently produce about 5,000 gigawatts (1 gigawatt = 1 billion watts). Replacing this fleet with new plants of 1 gigawatt each — the common commercial size — means building 5,000 new nuclear plants, over 10 times the current number. Existing experience indicates that $6 billion may be a lower cost estimate to build such plants, so the total cost would be about $30 trillion, possibly higher.
Is such a sum even conceivable? Maybe yes, but would such a massive program be the best use of $30 trillion? At the same time, Pandorafails to seriously address the promises and challenges of developing major roles for renewable energy.
“Pandora’s Promise” and “Switch” raise the right issues but get nuclear wrong, Grist, By John Perkins, 6 July 13Two recent movies, Pandora’s Promise and Switch, promote massive changes in the U.S. energy economy; both embrace nuclear power and point to France as the nuclear success story. The two-part company, however, on natural gas: Switch sees gas plus nuclear as the major energy sources of the future, but Pandora gives gas no significant role.
These are “good-bad” movies. They effectively raise the right issues but crash on flawed conclusions. Pandora correctly places energy at the heart of the most important environmental issue: climate change…..
Make no mistake about it: These films engage and persuade. That’s precisely why the nonsense of their conclusions is so deadly…… Continue reading

Jack Straw said he was not naive about Iran, but things were looking “more hopeful” with the new president-elect Hassan Rouhani.
He was debating with columnist Melanie Phillips who claimed on a recent Question Time that Iran should be “neutralised” and she was asked on the Daily Politics how that could be achieved.
The pair disagreed on whether Iran should be invited to a peace summit.

AUDIO: Japan correspondent tells story behind Fukushima
http://www.abc.net.au/local/stories/2013/06/27/3790863.htm?site=conversations Mark Willacy tells the story of the massive 2011 tsunami that rocked Japan, and the resulting catastrophe at the Fukushima nuclear power station. He’s been the ABC’s North Asia correspondent for some years, and won his second Walkley for his coverage of the 2011 Japan tsunami and nuclear disasters.
The earthquake on 11 March 2011 was one of the largest ever recorded, and the resulting massive tsunami killed nearly 20,000 people. The waves rolled over the walls of the Fukushima nuclear reactor, and the result was a meltdown and the ejection of radioactive material into the air.
Mark reveals in his new book Fukushima why the catastrophe should not have happened.
