Fukushima Daiichi Looks Odd on Cam 1 Today


I've been noting that units 1 and 2 at Fukushima Daiichi (visible on the TEPCO Webcam 1) have been looking rather steamy.

Today, the view from Cam 1 is quite distinctive because the illumination has been changed and the vent tower is brightly illuminated, as illustrated in these screenshots below:

March 17, 2019


Today, March 19


I've seen this change in lighting before but what is new is the bright illumination of the vent tower.

The vent tower in the foreground has been an issue for some time, with concerns expressed at its high radioactivity and its potential for collapse due to structural damage and/or liquefaction, caused in part by massive amounts of water coursing under the plant.

I'm not sure whether today's view denotes any significant changes or not.

I'll post again tomorrow with any observational updates.

  1. Fukushima Daiichi will not get better. There is too much fuel and RADIONUCLIDE contamination there. Japan does not have to be nuclear. Vietnam is not nuclear. japan is unsustainable. They are reopening, damaged nuclear plants there.
    Japan is an authoritarian country that really does not care about its citizens or the world.
    The US is a nuclear Bomb Bully, that now has tactical nuclear bombs, it will use in a first strike thanks to Trump
    The US values freedom for rich people of the dominant ethnic group, whilst being authoritarian police states for everyone else

    As I write there is an old beat up nuclear reactor on a flooding river, that could be flooded, blowup and release thousands of tons of high level nuclear waste into the area, from its used fuel pools.
    The government allows crooks to haul dump and place dangerous nuclear waste around communities for profit. They are not monitored they are not held responsibly for safety issues. Most of America and Japan are nuclear sacrifice zones for the benefit of the rich and the military. The citizens be damned
    The US was built on ethnic cleansing, genocide, land theft and slave labour imperialism, land theft, slave labor, genocide continue to be key to its economy.

    1. ART. ROBINSON
      "The Grandfather Of All Assholes, I mean er Alt-Science"


      Arthur B. Robinson, renegade chemist, failed politician, grandpa of the Nuclear Proponent Exxtrordinaire — and maybe, maybe, our nation’s next scientist-in-charge

      He shows a room, everything you see here, was built by my own hands in Cave Junction, ore . His kids, a pair of nuclear engineers — remain nearby.
      He writes and publishes home-school curriculums for a living.

      A stuffed antelope, stuffed bobcat, stuffed bear, and a stuffed mountain lion, stare across the his goofy lab at a bank of instruments with flashing lights. “That’s a rectifier, and this machine measures the rotation of light,” said Robinson, a 75-year-old from Texas , who is right proud of his extensive petrochemical imbued past and Boasts his belief in " Better Living through Chemistry and Nuclear Energy!"
      His alt-science points of view on vaccination is th a vaccination is Great! It should just be done later!
      He is big on nuclear power(the more the better)

      He will give ya an earful about ntelligent design. ART is big on God and evangelical religion. Especially of the Christian Idendity Type.

      His alt science views, have been showing signs of purchase in the Trump administration. HE EVEN GETS MONEY FROM HIS cronies.

      Robinson himself may soon be making tracks for Washington DC, especially with his views about using nuclear waste for Hormesis.

      Art Robinson's biggest financial backers are the Mercers . The hedge-fund billionaire Robert and his daughter Rebekah. They are better known these days for their avid right-wing activism and sponsorship of Steve Bannon. In March, reports emerged that Rebekah Mercer had made the case for Robinson to be the nation’s new national science adviser. “It would be an honor to do it,” he said

      Access to Energy, a LIBERTARIAN newsletter that Robinson writes for 3,500 annual subscribers. (Robert Mercer is a reader.) IS ALL ABOUT NUCLEAR ENERGY. THE MORE THE BETTER.
      HIS VIEWS are not to ‘trust and parrot’ the politically motivated statements of the press, politicians, and other self-interested parties” on scientific matters; to preach data directly to the people, so they can reach their own conclusions instead of being force-fed their ideas by science-policy elites in Washington. That is to say, Access to Energy has functioned as the house organ for Robinson’s peculiar brand of science populism — as if Breitbart had been crossed with Discover Magazine! We all know what a great science rag Discover is!

    2. Robinson says Chernobyl is a fairy tail. He threatened to kill Linus Pauling over his antinuclear activism and says Vitamin C does not hinder cancer, it makes it worse!



      “Science is entirely a populist subject,” he tells me. If we don’t need some expert scientists to tell us nuclear power is bad, then we certainly shouldn’t let ourselves be bullied by whatever “custom and culture” happens to prevail in any time or by anyone.



      Oregon’s GOP Chair Wants to Sprinkle Nuclear Waste From Airplanes

      Tim Murphy
      August 16, 2013 10:00 AM


      After months of in-fighting, the beleaguered Oregon Republican Party elected a new chairman last weekend. His name is Art Robinson, and he wants to sprinkle radioactive waste from airplanes to build up our resistance to degenerative illnesses. Robinson, who unsuccessfully ran for Congress against progressive Rep. Peter DeFazio in 2010 and 2012, took over after the previous chair resigned in advance of a recall campaign over her alleged financial mismanagement.

      Robinson, who has a Ph.D. in chemistry, has marketed himself for the last three decades as an expert on everything from nuclear fallout to AIDS to climate science in the pages of a monthly newsletter, Access to Energy, which he published from his compound in the small town of Cave Junction. A quick glance at his writings, which were publicized during his ill-fated challenges to DeFazio, suggest that whatever the failings of the previous party leadership—Democrats now hold all statewide elected offices and control both houses of the state Legislature—Robinson brings with him a new set of challenges entirely.

    3. On nuclear waste: “All we need do with nuclear waste is dilute it to a low radiation level and sprinkle it over the ocean—or even over America after hormesis is better understood and verified with respect to more diseases.” And: “If we could use it to enhance our own drinking water here in Oregon, where background radiation is low, it would hormetically enhance our resistance to degenerative diseases. Alas, this would be against the law.”

      On public schools: “Public education (tax-financed socialism) has become the most widespread and devastating form of child abuse and racism in the United States. Moreover, people who have been cut off at the knees by public education are so mentally handicapped that they cannot be responsible custodians of the energy technology base or other advanced accomplishments of our civilization.” (Robinson, a home-schooling activist, sells a DIY curriculum for $195.)

      On AIDS: “There is a possibility that the entire ‘war’ on HIV and AIDS is in error. U.S. government AIDS programs are now receiving $6 billion per year and are based entirely upon the hypothesis that HIV virus causes AIDS. Yet, the articles referenced above and numerous additional publications by scientists who have become involved in this controversy state that: attempts to cause AIDS experimentally with HIV have completely failed; thousands of AIDS victims are HIV-free; and HIV shows none of the classical characteristics of a disease-producing organism. Moreover, AIDS is not a unique disease—it is an increased susceptibility to many ordinary diseases presumably as a result of depressed immune response. This depressed immunity can result from many other factors including those especially prevalent in the AIDS afflicted population—drug abuse and unhygienic exposure to very large numbers of different disease vectors. Moreover, large numbers of HIV carriers who are symptom-free are being treated by powerful life-threatening drugs that kill people in ways very similar to AIDS.”

    4. (His conclusion on the AIDS epidemic: Homosexuality might be a natural consequence of the gay lifestyle, and the federal government had cooked the books “as an excuse for all sorts of social engineering, especially in the public schools.”)

      On climate change: “[T]here is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the Earth.”


      On diversity: The white-male imbalance at his alma mater, Cal Tech, Robinson argued, was due to the fact that “its applicants are weighted toward those who seek severe, difficult, total-immersion training in science—an experience few women and blacks desire.”

      During his campaigns, Robinson distanced himself from his past writings—without overtly rejecting them. He conceded that the nuclear waste proposal was “politically impossible” and a “complicated scientific subject,” and on the subject of public education, admitted that “had I known I would ever run for office, I’d have said it differently.” In an interview with MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, he justified his AIDS theory by noting that “15 years ago, the scientific debate was different than it is today,”

      As predicted: #Fukushima infant heart diseases spiked
      C-HEART-33



      Mainstream media is doing everything it can to spin this as nothing to worry about. After all, they’re not YOUR kids.

      “Although this research focuses on events that occurred in Japan, the potential for nuclear accidents throughout the world is a global health concern,” said Kaori Murase, Ph.D., associate professor at Nagoya City University in Japan. “Our study suggests that a nuclear accident might increase the risk for complex congenital heart disease.”

    6. Complex congenital heart disease operations in babies increased after Fukushima nuclear power plant accident




      In the four years following the Fukushima nuclear accidents, they found:

      The number of operations for complex congenital heart disease in infants all over Japan increased 14.2 percent, whereas those performed on 1- to 17-year-old patients showed no significant change during the study period.
      The complex congenital heart diseases that showed significant increases were those known to occur during various developmental stages of the heart.
      The results suggest that damage occurred at various points in the early stages of heart development and not from damage to a single gene at a specific point in time.
      “Nuclear accidents may have wide-ranging adverse effects on various types of congenital heart disease. The earlier the radiation exposure happens in a developing heart, the more likely it is that the nuclear accident could have a negative impact on more parts of the heart,” Murase said.

      Researchers also note that, while the concentration of radiation in the air in Japan was declining in 2014, the number of operations for complex congenital heart diseases remained high.



      There was an ACADEMY AWARD WINNING DOCUMENTARY about heart disease in children at Chernobyl, but your TV “news” pretends it never happened.

      Trump’s national security adviser, John Bolton leads us back to the Nuclear Precipice
      Posted by Christina MacPherson
      Back to the Nuclear Precipice,

      Project Syndicate, Mar 20, 2019 JAVIER SOLANA
      Long a global leader in efforts to reduce nuclear-weapons stockpiles and limit nuclear proliferation, the United States is now fostering the conditions for a new global arms race. With hawks calling the shots in US President Donald Trump’s administration, a nuclear conflagration in one of the world’s hot spots is becoming more likely.

      ………. the author of The Art of the Deal has followed the advice of someone who has yet to meet a deal he didn’t want to tear up: Trump’s national security adviser, John Bolton. Having already dispensed with the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty in 2002, during his tenure in President George W. Bush’s administration, Bolton has used his position in the Trump administration to launch attacks against the INF Treaty and the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action(JCPOA) with Iran. Most likely, his next target will be New START. Signed by Obama and then-Russian President Dmitry Medvedev in Prague in 2010, that nuclear arms reduction treaty will expire in 2021, barring an agreement on its extension.

    2. With the steady collapse of the international arms-control architecture has come a fresh race to develop new types of nuclear weapons. The potential use of these weapons is now discussed with such frivolity as to foreshadow a return to the darkest days of the Cold War, but one that is even more dangerous, because other countries not subject to the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), such as North Korea, have since joined the nuclear club.

      During Trump’s first year in office, his incendiary public exchanges with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un brought relations between Washington, DC, and Pyongyang to their tensest point in decades. While Trump has since abandoned his threats of “fire and fury” and given diplomacy a chance, his administration’s approach to North Korea has ignored all of the canons of effective diplomacy. This has given rise to another kind of frivolity: the spectacle of vacuous praise.

      In the end, the lack of consensus among US foreign policymakers and the misaligned expectations of the two negotiating parties, combined with Trump’s own improvisations, condemned his recent summit with Kim to failure. A reorganization is now urgently needed, particularly to incorporate the other regional powers and keep Bolton and other hawks in the administration from derailing the process further.

    3. Trump is selling Nuclear Power and Nuclear weapons to Saudi Arabia, the perpetrators of 911. Trump wants to nuclear arm Japan that cannot even stop fukushima. Lastly, in the Middle East, the Trump administration has actively sowed the seeds for nuclear proliferation. The decision to abandon the JCPOA was entirely counterproductive, merely reflecting Trump’s blind support for Israel – another NPT non-signatory – and Saudi Arabia.

    5. Cory Doctorow

      After interviewing Cambridge Analytica whistleblower Christopher Wylie and other CA sources and reviewing leaked documents, the Washington Post has pieced together the story of how the dirty-tricking electioneers worked their way Republican political circles, as billionaire founder Robert Mercer opened doors for them with other notorious GOP billionaire backers, with an able assist from newly minted national security adviser John Bolton, a notorious war-criminal with close ties to terrorist groups like MEK.

      The docs reveal how Cambridge Analytica CEO Alexander Nix tried to impress billionaires like Sheldon Adelson by building dossiers on them to impress them with the power of his surveillance apparatus (in one memo, Nix exhorts his staff, “Can we pull a LOAD of data on them????”) (the quadruple question-mark, or “toff’s interrogative,” is taught only to the top-performing Etonians).

      In the end, they did not present Adelson with their dossier on his personality flaws and vulnerabilities.

      Cambridge Analytica’s path to Republican glory started with Steve Bannon’s brokering of an investment by Robert Mercer. With help from these GOP insiders, they were able to sign the John Bolton Super PAC as a customer, billing them for $1.1 million for “research” — howtos for microtargeting potential voters using Facebook. The proposed that Bolton could trick people into exposing their friends’ personal data by enticing them to take a personality quiz. Bolton’s PAC is a laundry for Mercer money.

      From there, CA received large paydays from Art Robinson, a Mercer-backed GOP candidate in Oregon, Colorado anti-abortion extremists Centennial Coalition, and For America, another Mercer front.

      The John Bolton Super PAC, led by the former diplomat and foreign policy hard-liner, paid Cambridge Analytica more than $1.1 million in the 2014 and 2016 cycles for research, according to Federal Election Commission filings. Mercer has been the largest donor to Bolton’s super PAC, giving $5 million since the 2014 cycle, according to FEC records.

      Part of the work that Cambridge Analytica performed for Bolton’s super PAC was psychographic voter targeting, which the company claimed could profile voters on the basis of certain characteristics. The predictive microtargeting was based in part on data gleaned from Facebook profiles and other sources, according to documents and former Cambridge Analytica employees.

    The government allows crooks to defraud the economy and make people bankrupt and homeless with no hope. They jail innocents. Jail poor people and kids for victimless and petty crimes with obscene, sadistic sentences long term incarceration-privatized probation, parole and private prisons. No way for them to get out of that system ruined for life. Thrity years in prison for drugs or petty theft. American white Christian-fascist, Taliban. . no medical care. Die innocent imprisoned. Jail the innocent. Execute the, innocent disproportionately black and native American to this day. Open warfare by cops on black people. All for the benefit of the rich and the military. The citizens be damned
    The US was built on ethnic cleansing, genocide, land theft ,slave labour imperialism, and land theft. Slave labor includes forced prison labor for a dollar day with 3.5 million in prison and jail. Genocide OF INDIGINOUS is what Trump Bolsanoro are doing. What Elliott Abrams and evanelical Christians did in El Salvadore, Guatemala, Honduras. What Hillary Clinton did in Libya and Ukraine. What Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer Feinstein want to do in Venezuela. What they all do in Scaudi Arabia, Yemen Israel and Palestine. Its evil

    Land theft of national parks by oil companies and Uranium Companies. Imperialism in Venezuela Brazil, Honduras, Columbia, Iraq continues. to be key be to its foreign policy and military focus along with threatening the shit out of the world with tactical and first strike weapons.

    Detonated 1000 nuclear bombs, on its own people in the heart of the western US in nevada. Whole country is a nuclear sacrifice zone like Japan is now. Instalss brutal right wing dicactors in Honduras, Guatemala, Columbia to keep INDIGINOUS refugee streaming north so Fuko can steal there kids and put them in cages. So Fuko can build fake walls, declare fake emergencies,while there are millions of homeless here. So Betsy devos can destroy what's left of public education. So everyone's taxes can be raised, to benefit the billliinairs as their taxes are cut.
    So Fuko and the Imperialist democrats can invade democratic countries, like Venezuela to send millions of more refugees to the border to be sadistically tortured by trump and its ghouls.
