Nuclear Politics and Nuclear Disasters: Fukushima and Chernobyl as Endless Catastrophes


Today, Sputnik news published an interview with me on nuclear risks:
Sputnik: In your view, how do politics affect such disasters as the Fukushima incident?

Majia H. Nadesan: Politics is an inevitable dimension of social life. Unfortunately, consolidated political power over critical decision-making can have catastrophic consequences, particularly when decision-makers are driven by singular logics that are intolerant of dissent.

We see in the case of nuclear energy how centralization of decision making power legitimized by symbolic appeals to national and economic security have produced never-ending catastrophes, illustrated best by Hanford in the US, Chernobyl in the Ukraine, Mayak in Russia, and Fukushima Daiichi in Japan....

  2. Quite well past time to impeach Trump

    Bannon Directed Cambridge Analytica To Test American Reaction To Images Of Putin-Russian Expansion In Eastern Europe According To Whistleblower Testimony

    “Wylie reported that Bannon directed Cambridge Analytica in 2014 to test images and concepts for an American audience relating to Russian President Vladimir Putin and Russian expansion, and that Putin was the only foreign leader for whom they conducted this testing.

    “I’m not sure who authorized this, because this wasn’t part of the direct group I was managing—but one of the things I had access to is testing that the company was doing specifically on Vladimir Putin and Russia and Russian expansion in Eastern Europe. It was the only foreign issue, or foreign leader, I should say, being tested at the time I was there. I can’t explain why it was that they picked Vladimir Putin to talk about in focus groups or to do message testing or to do models on, and why that would be useful to Steve Bannon. But what I can say is that they were also testing images of Vladimir Putin and asking questions about Russian expansion in Eastern Europe.…..”

  3. Most of japan, is burdened with enough cesium 137 to wipe out china. Levels at 1100 bq/kg, from air filters in cars and houses. It has been confirmed by Marco Kaltofen, famous, MIT PhD environmental, Engineer. The hi cesium readings from car and house, air filters, are as far south as yokohama.

    If you are even a few feet from a 10 or more grams of pure, unsheilded cesium 137 it will kill ya, because it is such a strong beta and gamma emitter. Like iridium 191, cobalt 60, strontium 90. Yet there are massive amounts of that shit in the air and environment 160 miles south of fukushima. It may not kill people instantly at those concentrations but, it is doing major damage, that is covered up. That is the most populous part of Japan.

    The big ugl- lie that tokyo was saved by quick thinking , by tepco when the thre reactors blewup and fuel rods burned, goes on!

    There were fuel rods that burned. Gunderson admits it. It is the only way, there could be so much cesium 137 that far south of fukushima.

    There is probably a lot more of everything else too. There was a prompt criticality, and there were 2 other reactor explosions that blew hundreds to thousands of pounds of reactor cores all over japan. The nucleoapes, our spooks, trump, the japanese are lying their asses off to us and the world!
    It all makes me so sad, to know that we live in such a fake, deceptive world.

  4. Please go and read this article in its entirety!


    https://nuclear-news.net/2018/04/25/the-true-impacts-of-the-1986-nuclear-disaster-on-people-and-the-environment/
    "All the populations affected by Chernobyl have been inadequately studied and monitored — whether they lived inside the former Soviet Union or elsewhere in Europe where the radioactive plume also contaminated lands and people.
    The Chernobyl liquidators are a group most often cited as they were dispatched to the stricken nuclear plant n the immediate aftermath, as well as for at least the subsequent two years, to manage and endeavor to “clean up” the disaster. They included military as well as civilian personnel such as firefighters, nuclear plant workers and other skilled professionals.
    It is generally accepted that there were about 800,000 liquidators but only a small portion of them were subject to medical examinations. By 1992 it was estimated that 70,000 liquidators were invalids and 13,000 had died. These estimates rose to 50,000 then to 100,000 deaths among liquidators in 2006. By 2010, Yablokov et al. estimated a death toll of 112,000 to 125,000 liquidators.
    Even the Russian authorities admit findings of liquidators aging prematurely, with a higher than average number having developed various forms of cancer, leukemia, somatic and neurological problems, psychiatric illnesses and cataracts. The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs found a statistically significant increase in leukemia among Russian liquidators who were in service at Chernobyl in 1986 and 1987.
    The widely debunked 2003-2005 Chernobyl Forum 
    The later TORCH Report exposed the flaws in the Chernobyl Forum as did IPPNW in its own report. TORCH predicts at least 30,000 and deaths. An analysis of 5,000 Russian studies, by the late Soviet scientist, Alexey Yablokov and colleagues, puts the number of premature deaths due to Chernobyl as likely to soar as high as one million people.

    Dr. Wladimir Wertelecki, a physician and geneticist, discovered, alarmingly, that the negative health effects caused by Chernobyl did not stop with those exposed directly. His research, focused in Polissia Ukraine, noted birth defects and other health disturbances among not only those who were adults at the time of the Chernobyl disaster, but their children who were in utero at the time and, most disturbingly, their later offspring.

    Pierre Flor-Henry in his research, even found medical changes resulting from apparent psychological responses. He noted that schizophrenia and chronic fatigue syndrome among a high percentage of liquidators were accompanied by organic changes in brains.
    But there is a fundamental reason why the WHO cannot be trusted.

    On May 28, 1959, the WHO made an agreement with the IAEA that would effectively gag the agency on any nuclear issue from that day forth. The agreement gave the IAEA a veto on any actions by the WHO that relate in any way to nuclear power. The IAEA’s stated mission is to “accelerate and enlarge the contribution of atomic energy to peace, health and prosperity throughout the world.” So clearly, there is a major conflict of interest at work here.

    Not only people but animals — both wild and domestic — have been harmed by the Chernobyl disaster. This damage is likely permanent as it has been passed down through generations via DNA. The research by Dr. Timothy Mousseau insects and birds are gone. Microorganisms gone
