This after a strong aftershock. Officials said not to worry, because there’s no change whatsover in radiation outside the plant so don’t be worrying your foolish selves about that, before they slithered away leaving a trail of slime. Three other nuclear facilities and five coal plants either lost external power or were shut down [...] Disgraced utility TEPCO, the operator of the nuclear plant, was forced to admit yesterday that it had known about dangerous conditions at the No 3 reactor last week, but failed to warn workers, who were affected when they stepped in radioactive water. TEPCO executives are criminals. They should be arrested. Lest anyone think I’m Japan-bashing, [...] Respected scientist Michio Kaku in an interview with KATA in Portland, OR. “This is huge. For the first time, they’re using that dreaded word, ‘breach.’ “Plutonium is the most toxic chemical known to science. A speck of plutonium, a millionth of a gram, could cause cancer.” Even worse, a breach could force workers [...] Natalia Manzurova at Chernobyl Natalia Manzurova spent 4 1/2 years cleaning up at Chernobyl. She has multiple health problems due to the radiation and is is the only one of her team still alive. She has a “Chernobyl necklace,” scars on her neck where her thyroid was removed and advocates for radiation victims everywhere. [...] Japan PM says nuclear crisis not worse but advises wider evacuation. The real questions there are 1) Is the government in control or just a lackey of Tepco, and 2) Is Tepco more concerned with saving their investment in the plant rather than saving lives? “Edano’s words seemingly fell on deaf ears as Tokyo residents made a dash for bottled water.” Fukushima engineer says he helped cover up flaw at Reactor 4. Smoke from plant forces evacuation, again, it’s black smole so something is burning. Tokyo tap water too radioactive for infants. But adults can drink away says their ever perky government. The vultures have arrived. JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon is now in Japan, hoping [...] It’s the new disaster capitalism. Capitalism creates disasters through greed while captured governments stand by idly. It’s the new disaster capitalism. Capitalism creates disasters through greed while captured governments stand by idly. Tepco, the operator of the crippled nuclear plant, delayed using seawater to lessen radiation because it would damage the reactors and hence [...] “The only way people won’t panic is if they receive open and truthful communication” from authorities, [Mary Dickson of Downwinders United] said. “Otherwise, it’s easy to expect the worst.” Downwinders know quite a lot about governments lying to them. In the 1950′s, the federal government deliberately did open air nuclear tests in Nevada when the [...] Slamming the Japanese response at Fukushima, Russian nuclear accident specialist Iouli Andreev accused corporations and the United Nations’ International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) of willfully ignoring lessons from the world’s worst nuclear accident 25 years ago to protect the industry’s expansion. It’s the usual suspects, greedy, irresponsible corporations and deliberately defanged regulatory agencies [...] |  | ||||
