Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Disaster Remembered



March 11 is the anniversary for the Fukushima Daiichi disaster of 3 nuclear meltdowns, at least one melt through, and a fire in at least one spent fuel pool. The disaster's costs keep rising:
Atsushi Komori (2019, March 10). Think tank puts cost to address nuke disaster up to 81 trillion yen. The Asahi Shimbun, http://www.asahi.com/ajw/articles/AJ201903100044.html   In a startling disparity, a private think tank puts the cost of addressing the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster between 35 trillion yen and 81 trillion yen ($315 billion and $728 billion), compared with the government estimate of 22 trillion yen.
Next year Japan plans on hosting the 2020 Olympics. Here is what Koide Hiroaki has to say about the scale of that disaster and the state of emergency that still persists in Japan:
Koide Hiroaki The Fukushima Nuclear Disaster and the Tokyo Olympics https://apjjf.org/-Norma-Field--Koide-Hiroaki/5256/article.pdf
According to the report submitted by the Japanese government to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), this accident released 1.5x101 6 becquerels (Bq) of cesium 137 into the atmosphere—the equivalent of 168 Hiroshima bombs. One Hiroshima bomb’s worth of radioactivity is already terrifying, but we have the Japanese government acknowledging that the Fukushima disaster released 168 times the radioactivity of that explosion into the atmosphere.a

  1. The world response to Fukushima stands out as the worst response to a disaster in my lifetime. To some extent it was a joke. Putting out a three alarm fire with a few garden hoses. My expectation was completely off. Think back to all the solutions like the ice wall. Or the robots. Anyway it stayed in the news a little longer than most things and then vanished. Refusing help form the Russians was a neat move. And the USS Reagan was not contaminated! Just remember that. It was all quite farcical . . . and deadly.

      There is not a goddamned thing more they could have done or can do. One or not fuel pools went up and caught fire too.

      Nuclear waste from Fukushima, is going into the arctic current. UK US France and especially Russia , have dumped more than a thousands of tons of high level and medium level nuclear waste in the arctic ocean in the past 80 years. There is an arctic stream going by fukushima.

      Since Fuko came into power, old reactors lives have been extended. The regulation for fail safes in reactor meltdown emergencies gutted. They don't even have sprinklers or backup generators in 2 Louisiana reactors that work.
      Regulations for closing old unsafe reactors in unsafe areas gutted by Fuko and its goons. Safety regulations for reactors gutted. Hi level waste stored insanely and unsafely. Hi level waste labeled low level. Fuko and its goons say nothing about the 20 old unsafe damaged reactors reopened in Japan that are all potential Fukushimas or the 70 old beat up reactors in the United States of America that are waiting-to-happen Fukushimas with overfilled fuel pools and nuclear waste stores .
      Its obvious most of the creepers from enenews that supported Fuko in the end and continue to support it, are operatives and spooks. Never gave a damned about the nuclear news or fukushima. Just diverted did propaganda lied . Scumbags.
      The normal reaction in the face of fukushima would be to have all reactors closed, like Germany and Spain are doing. Stop manufacturing of nuclear weapons. Ban nuclear missiles and weapons.
      Damaged reactors in Japan have reopened Under fuko. He even encourages nuclear arming Japan. Not that rightwing nuclear is democrats like obammy did anything different but Fuko and its pushers on enenews promised something different and now its a lot worse.
      Those of us who have multiple contacts and family in Japan know it is ruined. The same thing will occur in RADIONUCLIDE saturated and ravaged, USA and France, and Europe and russia and Pakistan and Canada when the next major nuclear reactor explosions and fuel pool, waste fires occur. It will not be worth staying alive in the usa. This government is not living a finger to prevent it they are making it worse. They will lie their ASSES off like they did about Santa Susana and so many other places and all you idiots and asshole living in your dreamworlds that support the Fuko, the rpuklikans
      And the likes of nancy Pelosi will get sick while u watch ur friends and family and grand kids get sick and die

      Ohio repuklikan lawmakers create nonprofit to promote nuclear research when renewable technology is cheap and abundant.
      Theme there is fukos funding nuclear for Bill Gates and Nuscale and saying that nuclear waste is good for u.

    2. One of more fuel pools was blown up and caught fire. Used fuel rods are full of radioactive cesium and strontium. There is way too much cesium 137 in Yokohama and Tokyo that are over a hundred miles from fukushima, for a fuel pool fire not to have occurred. That is according to kaltofen and Busby sample analysis from those places.

    1. I respect the views of unknown and Majia that TEPCO could have done more about fukushima when it occured and could do more now. Many people sacrificed their live to clean around Chernobyl. The elephants foot will never be gone. The Russians, at least evacuated the area and kept it evacuated. There should me more of an international effort to this day yet at fukushima, how can one expect the nuclearist foxes in the chicken coops to do anything, as they poison their own people at home.

      What can be done about fukushima now? More people sacrificing their lives
      people like the Russians did..

      One or more fuel pools went up and, caught fire too at fukushima.
      There was a US aircraft Carrier there, spraying foam and boronated water on the reactors. There were helicopter spraying chemicals and boron on the reactors..
      Those Sailors and Helicopter people sacrificed their lives at Fukushima. You will not here anything about it. According to the establishment and the nuclear cartels that control the world, only 23,000 people have died and that was from the tsunami, not the nuclear catastrophe.

      There was a 9.0 earthquake that dislodged the nuclear fuel in the 3 reactors. No way to moderate the cores. Two generated hydrogen gas that exploded. One underwent a prompt nuclear criticality like Chernobyl. What was left of any fuel inside the reactors melted through the reactor containment and is at the bottom of the reactors.

      High level Nuclear waste, that is in the water running over all the fuel and debris from Fukushima, is going into the arctic current.

      There was radioactive gas, vaporized RADIONUCLIDE, debris, ash from the reactors and fuel pool that went all over the world in the air. A lot to the arctic.

      The UK, US, France and especially Russia , have dumped a hundred thousand  tons or more, of high level and medium level nuclear waste into the arctic ocean, in the past 80 years( that would be the size of a couple of mountains worth) There is an arctic current, going by Fukushima that is getting RADIONUCLIDE contaminated water from the site. 300 tons a day..

      Since The neoconservative lying clown, came into power, old US reactor, that are as old and more dangerous than Fukushima are allowed to stay opened.
      The regulation for fail-safes in reactor meltdown emergencies have been gutted under Trumps EPA and Nuclear Regulatory Commission . Insurance of adequate backup, gutted. Damaged containment can be overlooked now more than ever.
      They don’t even have sprinklers or backup generators in 2 Louisiana reactors that work.
      Regulations for closing old, unsafe reactors in unsafe hurricane zones and earthquakes zone has been gutted, by Trump and its goons.

      Safety regulations for reactors gutted. Regulation of nuclear waste and its proper sequestration-Gutted.
      High level nuclear waste, stored insanely and unsafely.

      High level-Nuclear waste is now labeled low level. That means, that poorly stored high level waste like that stored at Fukushima, before the catastrophe, could catch fire and destroy a city or entire region.

    2. The trumptrolls will go on and on about what Obama did not do, during fukushima and after. Its true they did nothing to protect us from Fukushimas in Murica. They did nothing, to create international pressure to make sure Japan did not open damaged reactors, from the 9.0 magnitude tohoku earthquake, that could turn into future Fukushimas.

      Trump and its goons promised to do something about fukushima and, have made matters much worse. They have increased the risk potential, for future nuclear accidents substantially.
      They are hawking 24 nuclear reactors and, nuclear weapons to the people responsible for 911. The SaudiArabians.

      Trump and its goons say nothing about the 20 old unsafe, damaged reactors reopened in Japan.  Reactors that are all potential Fukushimas.

      They say nothing of the 70 old beat up reactors, in the United States of America, that are waiting-to-happen Fukushimas. Old damaged and flawed nuclear reactors, with overfilled fuel pools and nuclear-waste, stored right by them, in flimsy Cannisters , on concrete pads, outdoors.
      Trump and its crew, Never gave a damned about fukushima. Just more propaganda and lies.

      The normal reaction in the face of fukushima would be to have all nuclear reactors closed, like Germany and Spain are doing. To stop manufacturing nuclear weapons. To Ban nuclear missiles and weapons. To sequester the deadly nuclear waste properly.

      Damaged reactors in Japan have reopened, under trump. Radioactive food comes out of Japan to the USA, under Trump.
      TRUMP even encourages nuclear-arming Japan. Not that rightwing-democrats like obama did so much different . They did not brazenly deregulate nuclear reactor safety, so completely and pathologically like trump HAS. OBAMAs admin did not deregulate high level nuclear waste, that can destroy half the country with a single fire, by calling it low- level waste.
      Those of us who have multiple contacts and family in Japan, know Japan is in a mess. The widespread illness that has a lid on it.

      The same thing can and will occur in the RADIONUCLIDE saturated and ravaged, USA or France, or Europe or Russia or Pakistan or Canada, when the next major nuclear reactor explosions and fuel pool, waste fires occur. It will not be horrendous  for many in the area around such a catastrophe.

      This US government is not lifting a finger to prevent another Fukushima type catastrophe, in the old rotten reactors here. Reactors that are surrounded by and, chocked full of high level nuclear waste.

      Trump and his goons are making it worse. They will lie their  like they did about Santa Susana and so many other place, when a melt down or worse occurs here. All the ienablers, living in the dreamworlds that support the Trump and, the conservative pronuke nuclear-empire democrats are screwing over America our children and the world.

      Ohio republikan lawmakers are trying to  create a nonprofit to promote nuclear energy and nuclear reactor research research in America in the shadow of Fukushima, Chernobyl, TMi with taxpayers money. That is when when renewable technology is cheap and abundant.
      Trump and the republicans  are funding nuclear reactors for Bill Gates and Nuscale . Trump is saying that nuclear waste is good for u, its hormetic!

      https://energynews.us/2019/03/08/midwest/ohio-bill-would-create-nonprofit-to-promote-advanced-nuclear-research/

      The republlikans and the likes of nancy Pelosi will get sick when the American fukushima occurs. People will watch their friends and family and grand kids get sick and die, as they get sick.

      One of more fuel pools was blown up and, caught fire at Fukushima. It will happen here and or elsewhere soon, with so many beat up old reactors around the world.. Used fuel rods are full of radioactive cesium and strontium. There is way too much cesium 137 in Yokohama and Tokyo that are over a hundred miles from fukushima, for a fuel pool fire not to have occurred. That is according to Kaltofen and Busby sample analysis from those places

  4. We are not so far from having AI-robots that can solve complex engineering problems that seem to thwart humans. Of course I think Japan might have offered a large prize back in 2011 to an individual or group that came up with an excellent solution to the Fukushima problem--but that would have meant releasing information they wanted to keep concealed apparently. After all if a computer can beat the best chess players it has grasped the idea of a goal and found a way to get there. The goal in this case would have to be minimizing the damage caused by radiation . . . removing the nuclear material . . . things regarded as impossible by the human factor. Just think how much information a computer could have about nuclear physics and engineering and of course many other areas, and have that information in any language, for example Russian. On the whole Fukushima represents one of the least creative responses to a genuine ongoing crisis that I can think of.

    1. There is a lot of truth to that. It still would not address what to do with the melted fuel when they got it. Would not address all of the HILEVEL waste that exists . what to do about the 300 or 400 flawed nuclear reactors, around the world, that can and will go fukushima at any time.

      Fukushima ruined a lot of science fiction fantasy, for a lot of people. A gamma knife is a little leaded box with 9 grams of ceaium137 in it.
      This is what can happen to a person when they open that little window on that box with 9 grams of cesium137 in it William. It can cause burns on 90 percent of a person's body.

      https://www.google.com/search?q=burns+on+abdoman+from+radiation+therapy&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwiUofezkv3gAhWJa6wKHTBnAm8Q2-cCegQIABAC&oq=burns+on+abdoman+from+radiation+therapy&gs_l=mobile-gws-wiz-img.3..33i10i299l2.54511.75957..77041...0.0..3.297.7630.4j50j2......0....1.......0..0i67j0j0i24j33i10j30i10j33i299.nzoNOIyfCPY&ei=d-6HXNSJOonXsQWwzon4Bg&bih=542&biw=377&prmd=inv#isa=y

      If the bo, that contains that 9 grams of glowing-blue highly gamma-ray emitting cesium 137, were broken, it could kill 100,000 people in and around the hospital and city where the hospital is where the gamma knife is located. Do you comprehend that William?

    2. Note: will robots at some point discover and utilize consciousness? Human and animal brains do not create consciousness; they discover and involve themselves with it. This is analogous to the lungs utilizing oxygen which they obviously do not create. If robots can eventually accomplish this they will become conscious beings and be free.

    3. That s true. I think our bodies and existence is a lot more fragile than we think after seeing so many people die as a toxicologist. Many medical providers have no illusions about the fragility of human existence

    4. Actually human beings are pretty tough. Consider those that survived the two atomic bombs in Japan. "8 Jesuit priests living just 8 blocks from ground zero miraculously survived the atomic blast at Hiroshima on August 6, 1945. Everyone else within a radius of roughly 1.5 Kilometers was reportedly killed instantly, and those outside the range died of radiation within days." https://www.tldm.org/news18/eightjesuitpriestssurvivehiroshimaatomicbombblastthroughthepoweroftherosary.htm

      That is one example. There is clearly a factor which may or may not intervene in a person's life. Call it the will to live if you like which is very strong in some cases.

      Considering the innumerable catastrophes that have ravaged the earth during say the last one million years it is truly remarkable that we are still here. And yet here we are. I tend to subscribe to a type of panpsychism as found in the philosophy of Spinoza. The world is not simply cause and effect like a rolling stone. There exists freedom.

  5. Agreed that we are precarious - far more precarious biologically and psychically than ever acknowledged. The effects of radiation don't simply extend to the directly impacted generation, but are passed down across them. Too much error in genome leads to genomic instability. Ever see "Children of Men"? Geneticists in the 1950s and 1960s thought it could happen should too much radiation-induced error be introduced.

    I can, however, agree that the will to live and random contingencies also shape our lifelines.

  6. Dana Durnford has attacked and smeared every prominent Antinuclear activist and group that exists. He has attacked small community affilliated groups trying to get reactors in their communities closed, to prevent future Fukushimas. Worst than George Montbiot. He has Smeared and attacked Dr Caldicott and Dr. Busby on YouTube several times.
    Dr Busby says he thinks a fuel pool went up at fukushima yet this gift smears and attacks Dr Busby.
    Flying cuttlefish I
    said that the wild fires in California were caused by energy beams. Both cuttlefish and durnford are aligned with extremes neonazi groups. Both say that fukushima and Chernobyl were caused by sabotage , not because they are rotten old nuclear reactors ready to blow.
    Both are conspiracy confabulationists associated with the known Government agent Leuren Moret.


    The old-time, real antinuclear-activist Joy from enformable and the Daily Kos Fukushima Journal, will tell you that Jay Cullen, otherwise known as Marine Chemist, is aligned with the Nuclear Industry. Jay Cullen is a disinformation agent for the nuclear Cartel like Lady Judge was in Fukushima. A hired gun.


    Dana Durnford made physical threats against Cullen to create a circus sideshow and get himself arrested, for his sensationalist and dishonest goals.
    Shame on mining awareness for giving into durnford.
    DUrnford routinely goes out on his expensive boat to beg for money . HE does no exploration. He does not even know how to use a Geiger Counter. He attacks true-blue antinuclear activists. Durnford gets dark money to promote political narratives, that have nothing to do with closing unsafe reactors or, doing anything about future fukushimas.
    Dana Durnford Rabidly attacked Dr Busby and Dr Caldicott on several occasions. Durnford Rabidly attacked congressman Markely , who is trying to get beat up reactors closed.
    Too bad this nonsense goes on on the anniversary of Fukushima.
