The media...Thanks for continuing to beat this drum. The media at this point are better defined by what they do not examine than the topics they focus on. The big question to me is how much complexity Japan can maintain as their society falls apart. IMO, Japan is the first first-world country to experience descent; they're our example for what is to come. They've got to be able to keep cooling to 50+ densely packed SFP and Containments of NPPs. As complexity unwinds from the loss of the operational NPPs, they now have 30% less electricity to sustain complex civilization than they had previously. That is huge. What falls apart then, and how quickly, and can they sustain cooling to the dead NPPs, especially the highly radioactive corium blobs at Fuku, whose grounds are just going to get more and more radioactive and difficult to work around over time? Eventually, sooner or later, if they can't cask the SFP rods, somehow they'll burn, as complexity wanes overall. <br /><br />If/when that happens, latitudes 50N-70N will be most impacted. Bioaccumulation will be variable and patchy depending on rainout, and the impact beyond more cancers will be on general immunity of the population at large, probably eventually causing some large epidemic that overwhelms the healthcare system. I'm starting a file on how to protect ourselves. Food and water security are going to become increasingly important, and food from a distance will be increasingly viewed as suspect. Just one more reason for relocalization. Organic will need to be redefined. Babies will need to be protected strenuously. The rate of change in our world is accelerating. <br /><br />For the US, we've got to mothball our clunker NPPs and cask the spent fuel in our SFPs now, while we still have the fossil fuel supports. Otherwise we'll end up just like Japan. And unless you're wealthy, there is no place to run. Eventually, there will be no 'there' there anymore to run to, as countries clamp down on migration and the pollution effects from a number of sources multiply. IMO, the conspiracy of silence in Japan is either ignorance multiplied by greed, or it is tantamount to murder; take your pick. <br /><br />http://www.ratical.org/radiation/Chernobyl/ChernobylCoSS.html<br />(good discussion of immune impacts on the population at large)Iaatohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06519168404846962768noreply@blogger.com
