VIDEO – Fukushima radiation worse than Chernobyl

VIDEO http://english.aljazeera.net/video/asia-pacific/2011/09/201191845015428149.html Experts say Fukushima “worse than Chernobyl”, Al Jazeera,  Steve Chao  18 Sept 11, Experts estimate the radiation leaked from Fukushima nuclear plant will exceed that of Chernobyl. Experts say that the total radiation leaked will eventually exceed the amounts released from the Chernobyl disaster that the Ukraine in April 1986. This amount would make Fukushima the worst nuclear disaster in history.At least one billion becquerels of radiation continue to leak from Japan’s Fukushima nuclear plant each day even though it is now more than five months after the March earthquake and tsunami that damaged the facility.

Japan’s crisis of radioactive waste in sewage plants

VIDEO  Radioactive waste swamps Japan sewage plants – Asia-pacific – Al Jazeera English   3 Sept 11, Environmental experts warn of new crisis over build up of contaminated sewage far from Fukushima plant.

Environmental experts in Japan are warning of new fallout from the country’s nuclear crisis.

Radioactive waste is piling up at several sewerage plants, well away from the crippled Fukushima reactor.

Months after the tsunami and earthquake that triggered the nuclear meltdown, the government still has no policy on what to do with the waste.

New Apostolic Reformation and Perry for USA President?

what makes the New Apostolic Reformation movement so potent is its growing fascination with infiltrating politics and government. The new prophets and apostles believe Christians—certain Christians—are destined to not just take “dominion” over government, but stealthily climb to the commanding heights of what they term the “Seven Mountains” of society, including the media and the arts and entertainment world.…In Rick Perry, they may have found their vessel. And the interest appears to be mutual

108 million Americans at risk. The vulnerability of nuclear plants

108 million. That’s how many people live within 50 miles of a nuclear plant in the United States, as our new nuclear locator map shows. It’s an astonishing number. Every day one in three Americans go to work, school and church with the threat of a nuclear catastrophe looming in their own backyard. Continue reading →

New book exposes USA’s atomic bomb cover-up

New Book: “Atomic Cover-Up: Two U.S. Soldiers, Hiroshima & Nagasaki”

 VIDEO  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZYvodtZDTc&feature=youtu.be

 New Book exposes USA ‘s atomic bomb cover up Greg Mitchell  17 August 11, Just out this month, my 12th book:  Atomic Cover-Up:  Two U.S. Soldiers, Hiroshima & Nagasaki and The Greatest Movie Never Made (Sinclair Books).  This is a haunting account of how the U.S.  suppressed the only film footage shot in the atomic cities,  by an American military crew,  for decades.  The shocking cover-up even extended to MGM and Hollywood — and to President Truman.  And there was no WikiLeaks to get the film aired.

America’s “nuclear entrapment” continues to this day.  Atomic Cover-up  takes a wide angle look at the use of the bomb in 1945–and its impact right up to 2011.  It might be sub-titled “From Hiroshima to Fukushima…..”http://gregmitchellwriter.blogspot.com/

America’s costly problem of nuclear wastes

Imagine a football field packed 20 feet high with highly radioactive nuclear waste. That’s about the volume of the 65,000 metric tons of spent nuclear fuel stranded at dozens of nuclear sites across the U.S.

It isn’t just a potential public health hazard, as Japan’s recent nuclear disaster showed, but a growing burden on the federal government’s groaning finances. Continue reading →

Nuclear company ENTERGY must pay up for plant closedown

AUDIO
http://www.publicbroadcasting.net/wamc/news.newsmain/article/0/0/1839200/WAMC.New.England.News/NRC.Requires.Decommissioning.Payment.by.Vermont.Yankee.Owner NRC Requires Decommissioning Payment by Vermont Yankee Owner,  North East Public Radio, Pat Bradley 11 Aug 11, VERNON, VT (WAMC) – Entergy had filed a notice to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission that it planned to cancel a guarantee payment of 40-million dollars to the decommissioning fund for the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Plant. In it’s notice, Entergy stated that because the federal agency had extended its license for 20 years, there was no need for the guarantee funds, and sufficient money could be earned on current investments over the 20 year renewal period.

But on Wednesday, Entergy was informed that it must make the payment. The NRC says it would be premature to cancel the payment because the Vernon plant might not be able to operate after next March. In its letter to Entergy, the NRC the decision is “…based on the ongoing civil court case Entergy Nuclear Vermont vs. Schumlin…” New England Coalition Advisor Ray Shadis believes it is the first federal acknowledgement that the plant is on track to shutdown next March…..

Fukushima radiation too high to be measured

 VIDEO Fukushima radiation so high geiger counter can’t register it   PlanetSave 6 Aug 11,  The Fukushima nuclear power plant, the epicenter of the earthquake-tsunami disaster, according to TEPCO, the company that owns the plant, now has radiation levels six times higher than the highest level they have ever record before.

TEPCO reported that radiation levels are over 10,000 millisieverts per hour on the second floor of reactor one. The problem with that report is that Geiger counters can’t measure past 10,000 millisieverts per hour.

So, how high is the radiation level on the second floor of reactor one? With radiation levels over 10,ooo millisieverts it could possibly kill a man in a matter seconds, if directly exposed to the radiation. With levels off the Geiger counter chart, TEPCO is basically unable to resolve the disaster.

This could be why they recently updated their recovery plan. They removed the idea of plugging the holes and cracks in the containment vessels of the reactors. Some analysis claims it may take over 30 years for any progress to be made at Fukushima. Question is, do we have 30 years to wait? There seems to be no solution brought forth on how to stop the radiation or how bad it is actually affecting the earth.

It seems no one wants to address the seriousness of this global problem. Levels this high cannot be good and it is more than likely spreading farther than is being reported.

So, what’s at risk? The air we breathe, the water we drink,  the food we eat, and, most of all, our overall health. http://planetsave.com/2011/08/06/fukushima-radiation-so-high-geiger-counter-cant-register-it-video/
