For a country thats culture frowns on protesting

The Japanese government has been pushing to restart many of the 48 nuclear reactors shut down in the wake of the Fukushima disaster, despite widespread disapproval and concern over inadequate oversight or safety precautions. According to a recent poll, roughly 60 percent of the Japanese population is opposed to the Sendai restart.

The injunction against the return to operation of reactors No. 3 and No. 4 at Kansai Electric Power Co. ’s Takahama nuclear plant in western Fukui prefecture takes effect immediately.The court ruled that new regulations implemented after the March 2011 Fukushima accident were no guarantee against another disaster.“The new regulations are not reasonable, therefore there is no need to study whether the Takahama plant satisfies them,” the court said.

So what happens ? They don't know whats wrong, they have no way to see, let alone fix.

Dickheads in this thread think thats perfectly normal.:rolleyes:
 
Drone footage captured by Ruptly shows millions of tons of radioactive soil and debris packed in black bags in a temporary storage site at Tomioka, Fukushima prefecture. This incredible video shows the haphazard manner in which this temporary storage facility is stacking up nuclear waste in what appears to be less than 100 yards from the Pacific Ocean.

Nuclear power is clean they said. Nuclear power is safe they said.

well at least people know where it is, back in 2011 they were secertly dumping it in the mountains

s**t, sorry.

google 'chernobyl trees dont decay' bit odd

It wouldn't surprise me if there was a variance in decay rates but an article based on a s**t scientific study is simply s**t.

As I read it, one sample was bagged and the other sample was not. Surely if you are doing a scientific study you would ensure a few things:
- the environment was the same. having one bagged and the other not means there will be a variance in temperature due to the decay process.
- this is key as temperatures increase, all plant matter decays faster.
- it is also key as worms etc prefer darkness (a bag provides this)
- other aspects need to be considered like plant matter size and the same composition of plant material

A scientist should be able to ensure they are comparing like with like. I also would have expected a better analysis on the amount of microbes in the soil.

Nuclear expert: very worried about ongoing catastrophe at Fukushima… “Complete failure” of ice wall built to contain extremely radioactive water… Plutonium is flowing into Pacific, will for many years to come — Strontium in ocean hits record level, huge increase reported since April

http://enenews.com/nuclear-expert-b...ater-complete-failure-strontium-90-ocean-hits

Excerpts from presentation by Arnie Gundersen, Fairewinds Chief Engineer, Jul 16, 2015 (emphasis added):

Are the meltdowns at Fukushima Daiichi over?… This catastrophe is not over… We should continue to be very worried.
3 of the nuclear cores at Fukushima Daiichi are in direct contact with groundwater. Nuclear power designers and engineers never anticipated that possibility.
Fukushima Daiichi Units No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 were destroyed… allowing holes and cracks to form… We know for sure that the Fukushima Daiichi containments are full of holes that allow groundwater to come in direct contact with each nuclear core.
Groundwater is still leaking in and leaking out, at a rate of at least 300 tons per day… more than 1,500 days have passed… 23,000-tanker truckloads of radioactive water have already leaked into the Pacific Ocean. Worse yet, there is no end in sight.
As Fairewinds anticipated, the ‘ice wall’ is a complete failure.
Cesium, strontium and plutonium from Fukushima Daiichi will continue to bleed into the Pacific Ocean for decades because the groundwater flow is unmitigated.
Japan’s press looks on silently due to the real threat and constraints of the government’s secrecy act… The true human, financial, and environmental costs of this nuclear power catastrophe are not publicized and discussed.
TEPCO reported on July 17 that Strontium-90 concentrations in the ocean outside Fukushima Units 3 and 4 are at record highs. Levels have spiked around 1,000% in 3 months.

Sr-90 measured between Unit 3 & 4 intake channel

July 17 report: 1,500 Bq/L*
April 23 report: 150 Bq/L
Sr-90 measured at Unit 4 screen

July 17 report: 1,500 Bq/L*
April 23 report: 120 Bq/L
* According to TEPCO’s July 17 report, the total level of all beta ray emitters (which includes Sr-90) was 1,200 Bq/L — yet the levels reported for Sr-90 were 1,500 Bq/L. When a similar occurrence happened last year, Asahi reported: “Strontium levels exceeded the all-beta readings in some instances, leading the utility to decide they were ‘wrong’.” TEPCO’s corrected data revealed much higher levels.

A group of three men were required to suit up in scuba-gear and swim through the flooded chambers of the basement to the gate valve, twist it open and so allow the trapped water to drain out. It was a "suicide mission". Radiation was at lethal levels.

Until the disaster, staff at the power plant were convinced of the safety of nuclear power, for as far as they knew there had never been an accident in the Soviet Union. In fact there had been 14, all of which had been supressed so as not to damage the image of Communist construction.

It is now understood that the initial trigger for the disaster, which began in the early hours of 26 April, was the control rods, which were made of boron with tips of graphite and had triggered power surges in other plants - a fact also kept secret.

In the first few minutes after the initial explosion the Geiger counters in the central control room were stuck at 3.6, a safe reading. However they were designed only to go up to 3.6. The actual reading was 15,000.

On the first night there were futile acts of heroism. Alexander Akimov, the unit shift chief, and Leonid Toptunov, a technician, falsely believed the water flow to the reactor was blocked by a closed valve, and so they fought their way to where they believed they could pump water back into the reactor and spent hours, submerged to the waist in radioactive water. Both would die a torturous death from radiation poisoning.Later, in hospital, Akimov tried to stand and the skin fell off his leg like a sock.

We should never allow a reactor like this to ever be built again. These reactors were quite unique as they were primarily for the manufacturing of weapons grade plutonium and produce electricity as a by product.

Its kind of ironic that the people making this s**t, killed themselves. It is clearly a horrible way to die.

I guess they poor comrades that died, probably had little choice but to follow orders from their leaders.

Thanks for sharing.

Nuclear expert:
Click to expand...

the only person who thinks arnie gundersen is a nuclear expert, is arnie gundersen lol. once again CR caught with his pants down by regurgitating un-parsed information he doesn't begin to understand.

Arnold "Arnie" Gundersen is an American consultant and chief engineer of an anti-nuclear propaganda group called Fairewinds Energy Education, formerly Fairewinds Associates, which is led by his wife, Margaret "Maggie" Gundersen. The group offers expert testimony at various legal hearings related to nuclear power and produces anti-nuclear videos. Arnie's primary activity includes conjecturing safety flaws in the AP1000 reactor design, supporting the Vermont legislature in trying to shut down the Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant, and most recently spreading misinformation about the Fukushima accident.


Unlike a great majority of anti-nuclear activists, Gundersen has a master's degree in nuclear engineering, which he obtained in 1972 at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, as well as a reactor operator's license from the U.S. Atomic Energy Comission (the predecessor of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission). He claims 40 years of experience in the nuclear industry.

The reality is that Gundersen operated only a simple, very low power (100 W), open-tank research reactor. He did not actually work in the nuclear industry since 1990 and through most of his career was employed in managerial positions. During his work at Northeast Utilities (1972-1976), when he calls himself the Responsible Nuclear Engineer for two power stations, he was actually responsible primarily for filing paperwork.
