Fukushima Daiichi Updates



The Asahi Shimbun is reporting "no quick fix" for dismantling Fukushima Daiichi's ruined reactors:
Chikako Kawahara 3 years on, and no quick fix in sight to reactor dismantling. The Asashi Shimbun, http://www.asahi.com/ajw/articles/AJ201903060056.html
Nuclear engineer Arnie Gundersen discusses the decision to push forward with the Tokyo Olympics in the context of persistent reactor and radiation risks:
Atomic Balm Part 1: Prime Minister Abe Uses The Tokyo Olympics As Snake Oil Cure For The Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Meltdowns March 01, 2019

It has been raining at Daiichi, producing light distortions in the steam visible on Cam 4:
  

Steam also visible on cam 1


The reactor fuel is still very hot and TEPCO still must inject a couple hundred tons of water daily to keep it cool. That is why contaminated water production remains a huge problem and why TEPCO cannot remove the fuel in Unit 2 (especially) anytime soon.

    1. Look who points the finger

      There was a 1958 Japanese Nuclear Video, where Japanese Nuclear guys put a couple of Birds in a lead room and inserted a small, 2 inch diameter Slug of Pure Cobalt 60, into the room with the Birds.
      The birds died within a matter of minutes, from the massive gamma irradiation, that came from the small cobalt 60 slug. Just 3 ounces of Cobalt 60 a foot away from the Birds, murdered them.

      THAT CRAZY DR LOVELOCK

      James Lovelock on nuclear waste

      “I have offered to take the full output of a nuclear power station in my back yard.”

      – Professor James Lovelock as quoted in the London Sunday Times

      According to today’s Times, the outspoken British environmental scientist, author and founder of the ‘Gaia’ theory of planetary homeostasis has a cunning plan to overcome any objections to a new nuclear power plant being built in the vicinity of his neighborhood. The good doctor has volunteered to take the radioactive waste off the plant’s hands and use it for domestic heating requirements.

      With Prime Minister Tony Blair’s recent call for more nuclear power in Britain, some people are worried about the toxic byproducts. But according to Lovestock, he and his neighbors could save a packet by taking in the wayward waste.

      “Remember: averting climate change begins at home!” James Lovelock

      This is as bad or worse than Ronny Raygun saying that he could take all the nuclear waste generated
      In a year by one reactor and put it under his desk in the Oval Office!

      Nevermind that each nuclear reactor Generates 20 tons of the Highest Levevel Nuclear Waste Posisble!
      Nuclear waste, that is so toxic and Gamma Ray emitting that a normal person would die of extreme radiation Poisoning, if they came within a Sixty feet of 100 pounds, of it within 20 minutes!

      20 tons under your desk eh Ronnie!
      20 tons in your backyard eh Lovelock!

      They are both Lovelovck and Reagan, the worst lying sacks of shit the human race has ever spawned

    2. Remember: averting climate change begins at home was Lovelocks motto.

      In Mureica individuals have no Rights only Crooked Politicians, Corporations have rights.
      One would think that the people in a place like Utah, that is a downwinder state and already inundated with nuclear waste, would care about 100,000 tons of nuclear waste being dumped on them. Their aquifers are already heavily contaminated by uranium. Polonium, and radium .
      Utah has agreed to allow energy fuels, to take in a hundred Tons of Medium level Nuclear waste . Energy fuels is run by a Saudi Arabian company. The nuclear waste will go to two areas in Utah Blanding and Toolele.    Tooele Utah, which is 20 miles
      From Salt Lake City.

      After that, the flood gates of High level nuclear waste will be Open for Utah, like they are for Texas and New Mexico.

      Some of us thought the people of Utah had, had enough NUCLEAR IRRADIATION, from being Down Winders from the Nevada Open Air nuclear testing. Think again, the greed and stupidity of politicians, never ceases to amaze!

      America is now the most, corrupt state on earth. They have abrogated the INF, so they can make small tactical nukes.
      Trump has jumped on the Hormesis bandwagon. High level nuclear waste is being redefined as low level nuclear waste, for continued corrupt-radionuclide destruction of America.
      Perry is importing high level nuclear waste from Japan and France, to be stored in dangerous steel casks, outdoors in New Mexico and Texas. There is a huge nuclear dump in Alpine Texas, that would have been illegal 20 years ago, where nuclear waste is being stored in Steel drums,that are buried over the largest aquifer in america.
      The United States, is supersaturated with High level nuclear waste and uranium tailings. America detonated a thousand nuclear weapons on its own people.

    3. The USA is numero Uno as a nuclear state! Number one in radionuclde pollution! America is number one in many destructive endeavors. It is the worst, in things that are really true and that matter the most for our children, and life on earth. We are inundated with nuclear waste.

    4. A Project in Nevada in Jacakass Flats Nevada was done, where Nuclear Reactors were hoisted into the air and caused to melt down in the 1950s. it was done, so they could see how the fallout, from the melted down small nuclear reactors, would distribute fallout from wind patterns, carrying the fallout, to their own people in Utah and Californinia. They did the same thing with the  Green Run at Hanford In Washington state!

      Kim Kardashian is finally pissed about Santa Susana. Asked her buddies trump and Perry to do something about it. They probably will not because they think it is too expensive.

      America allows visibly large amounts of AMERICIUM in smoke detectors.
      It is not milligrams but rather a tenth of a gram of AMERICIUM in each smoke detector in the United States.
      AMERICIUM smoke detectors cost 3 dollars while the other ones cost 15 dollars. Almost all smoke detectors in America have AMERICIUM. Each detector has a fraction of a gram which is a lot!  All that AMERICIUM accumulating in landfills. The government allows AMERICIUM, which is a byproduct of fission in nuclear reactors, to be used in cheap smoke detectors as a cheap way, to get rid of high level nuclear waste.

      It only takes a millionth of a gram of Plutonium or less to cause lung cancer and AMERICIUM, is equally as dangerous as Plutonium.

      The High Level Nuclear Waste Product AMERICIUM , which is very similar to PLUTONIUM, is and has been used in millions upon millions of smoke detectors in the United States, since the 1970 s. Tho is done as a means of getting rid of some of the high level nuclear waste from nuclear reactors and nuclear bomb production in the the United States with no accountability to sthe safety of Murican citizens.

      AMERICIUM now contaminates every landfill, in every town in the United States.  AMERICIUM has contaminated, or is contaminating 90 percent of every household and apartment in the United States today because the old AMERICIUM smoke detectors cost only about Three Dollars and all other detectors cost five to twenty dollars more!
      Slick scheme for pawning off High Level Nuclear Waste on Unsuspecting Americans huh and, you subsidize your own lung cancer creation this way! Then later you will go bankrupt from no health insurance.  Only in Murica!

      In America u can be arrested and, thrown in jail for protesting oil pipelines in your back yard.  You can be arrested for protesting nuclear waste facilities, in your community. 

      Nuclear reactor and nuclear waste deregulation,  is worse than it has ever been in history, under Donald Trump.
      The need for nuclear bombs was supposed to end, with the breakup of the USSR. Now proliferation is as bad or worse than ever before!

  2. There exist refrigerators that use heat to ultimately produce cooling. Given the excessive heat from the fuel why have they not considered letting it power huge refrigerants? In short, the heat being energy can be put to a positive application instead of using energy to douse it with water.

    Colombia’s War of Neoliberal Economics
    Despite the 2016 peace accords in Colombia, conflict and violence continue due to the U.S.-supported neoliberal economic model. In order to imagine peace, we must imagine a new model of reparations and justice.

    A view of Port Buenaventura. In May 2017, Buenaventura residents held a 22-day civic strike to protest ongoing investment in the port instead of investing in local residents (Photo by Chelsey Dyer).

    Colombia today has the highest number of recorded assassinations of human rights defenders in the world. In the first 15 days of January 2019 alone, nine social leaders were murdered. These alarming statistics make it clear that peace has not come to Colombia, despite the signing of its historic peace accords with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) in 2016. It is also clear why: the peace accords did not alter the country’s neoliberal economic model, which was a key driver of the conditions that led to the 50-year conflict.

    As many Colombian activists predicted, the same neoliberal economic conditions that created insecurity before the accords were signed continue to exist today and contribute to violence, displacement, and economic insecurity, particularly for Afro-Colombians, Indigenous peoples, and campesino communities. While neoliberalism is national policy in Colombia, it is also one upheld by Colombia’s foreign allies, including the United States. And, unlike the story President Duque may tell, U.S. policies have not contributed to liberation in Colombia or the rest of Latin America. Instead, they have exacerbated economic insecurity and violence.

    1. Neoliberal Turn in Colombia and Plan Colombia

      In the 1990s, Colombia began to embrace neoliberal economics, and the government made its land available to more multi-national businesses. At the same time, after decades of Indigenous and Afro-Colombian organizing, the government enacted a new constitution in 1991 and Law 70, which recognized Indigenous and Afro-Colombian communities as distinct ethnic groups with the right to land titles. However, these initiatives were contradictory, because these communities’ ancestral territory is frequently located on the same resource rich land that multi-national businesses wish to possess. This dynamic continues to play out today—as communities vie for land titles to maintain control over their territory, they face pressure from armed actors and big businesses who seek to use the land to implement extractivist projects, construct industry, or run drugs. Oftentimes, these actors use violence, threats, or assassinations in order to frighten and silence their opposition, such as community leaders at the forefront of campaigns to prevent displacement.

      Today’s rise in activist killings cannot be disentangled from the original imposition of neoliberal economics and the shock doctrine tactics of Plan Colombia—a multi-billion dollar U.S. aid package framed first through the veneer of the war on drugs, and then as a war on terror against the FARC. The fragmentation of social movements and classes wrought by paramilitary, guerrilla, and state violence in the 1990s strengthened by U.S. military training and funding allowed neoliberal doctrine to enter into Colombia largely uncontested. As this system continues to operate, social leaders in Colombia are being systematically killed and displacements continue, with at least 1,300 people already displaced this year.

    2. A War By Many Means

      431 social leaders were murdered between January 2016 and December 2018. A recent report released by the Colombian Commission of Jurists demonstrated that these murders are systematic, frequently target members of JACor those who are protecting their territory, and are linked to a drive to silence community activism. The killing of Maritza Quiroz Leiva on January 6 exemplifies this pattern. She was leader of the Victims Committee in Santa Marta and an active advocate against forced displacement, who was gunned down in her home. Years previously, her husband was killed after they recovered land from which they had been forcibly displaced. Quiroz Leiva was the sixth social leader killed this year.

      Many argue that incidents of violence in Colombia like the killing of Marista Quiroz Leiva are a result of the vacuum of power left by the FARC and the subsequent rivalries between different armed groups that are now vying for power and control in these areas. While this is certainly true to some extent, it is only part of the picture. This theory fails to address the capitalist motivations that underlie these groups’ quest for territorial control and those who are victimized by it.

      As geographer Ulrich Oslender has written, “the state and paramilitary forces act at the service of national and transnational capital.” Oslender, who focuses on mass displacement, argues that such violence is not the result of capitalism, but rather a tactic of those in power in the global capitalist system. In fomenting violence and creating economic and physical insecurity for local residents, businesses can more easily usurp territory. Similarly, activist killings are not a result of capitalism, but a tactic of it. Repression and assassinations are part of a strategy of sowing fear to silence social leaders, unravel the social fabric, and thus eliminate or strain social movements that counter the reigning economic model. This is not simply an economic model—it is a form of neocolonialism that sows social unrest in order to generate profit.

      Covert Neocolonial Control

      The media generally characterizes violence in Colombia as fragmented instances—a community was displaced, a protest erupted, an activist was murdered. These individually highlighted events create an international image of internal insecurity caused by a government’s own ineptitude or the violence of illegal armed actors, eliding the historical and current role of neocolonialism and foreign economic intervention. In reality, these instances are all interconnected into an overarching framework of power—that Afro-descendant and Indigenous activists have been fighting against for centuries. In fact, looking at different instances of U.S. influence in Colombia tracks a clear pattern of neocolonial control and its connection to the assassinations of activists.

    3. In May 2017, Buenaventura residents held a 22-day civic strike to protest ongoing investment in its port instead of investing in local residents. In an impressive show of organizational capacity, Afro-Colombian and Indigenous communities and organizations united to shut down the city, blocking the port and flooding the streets. Residents demanded resources to invest in building a local hospital, more economic opportunities, and potable water. The strike, however, faced brutal repression. Colombian Mobile Anti-riot forces (ESMAD) used U.S.-made tear gas and rubber bullets indiscriminately on the population to break up protests. U.S. weapons were used to suppress and control a manifestation that threatened the reigning socio-economic ideology.

      Activist repression is another tool used to try and silence counter-narratives and strain social movements. When the reigning political class fails to silence dissent through repression, their tactics can intensify into assassinations threats and attempts. In fact, a year after the strike, Temístocles Machado, a well-known leader of the civic strike, was assassinated. Others who were involved also continue to face ongoing threats. Both psychological and physical violence has followed organizers in Buenaventura. Community leaders did, however, eventually come to an agreement to create an autonomous fund to invest back into the city to improve infrastructure, healthcare, and education, and today continue to meet with government officials to ensure that the accord is properly implemented.

      In spite of small steps forward, U.S. policy is still exerting influence on Colombia. Under U.S. pressure, President Duque is advancing a return to aerial fumigation—despite its violation of the 2016 Peace Accords, ongoing denunciations from civil society, and well-documented health risks. This is also connected to a strategy of repression aimed at maintaining and expanding economic control, because the dangerous spraying of chemicals displaces residents who live on resource-rich land, allowing illegal and legal businesses to move in. Colombia already has the highest internally displaced population in the world and research has demonstrated that aerial fumigation causes significant displacement. If the U.S. and Colombian governments were interested in decreasing coca crop farming they would invest more in substitution models, address the socioeconomic causes that necessitate people to grow coca, and protect activists as their work is striving to build sustainable socioeconomic futures. Instead, we see advocates for crop substitution among those who are being assassinated—activists such as Dilio Corpus Guetio, a campesino leader in Cauca who was on a local committee that verified the substitution of illicit crops. He was murdered January 29, 2019, shot while riding his motorcycle to work.

      Though official reports may not detail the reasons for their assassinations, to other activists and social leaders it is clear that Corpus Guetio was killed because of his work, which threatened to disrupt illicit and licit resource and drug economies in the area. We see this pattern of intimidation, threats, and assassination across Latin America against activists working to protect the environment, land, and basic human rights—and we continue to see this in Colombia during a time in which “peace” has supposedly arrived.

    From https://corporateeurope.org:
    “The Czech Trump: how prime minister Babiš undermines democracy – Jakub Patočka
    August 23rd 2018 (interview with Jakub Patočka by Rachel Knaebel, Observatoire des Multinationales)

    The political climate in the Czech Republic has grown increasingly repressive following the election of oligarch Andrej Babiš as prime minister in October 2017. With the Czech civil society space squeezed tighter and tighter by Babiš’s government, we want to help draw attention to the duress and threats under which many progressive organisations and media outlets now have to work.

    In the following interview, Czech journalist and Corporate Europe Observatory board member Jakub Patočka explains what is at stake in the country as targeted defamation campaigns and funding withdrawals are making the work of critical NGOs and newspapers increasingly difficult.

    What is the political situation in the Czech Republic now, following the October 2017 parliamentary elections?

    It is dark, but it is not hopeless. The fragile system of political parties established after the Democratic Revolution of 1989 has virtually collapsed. It was nothing to be proud of, but it was a democracy resembling more the western countries than the notorious post-communist chaos we are now becoming part of. The Czech democracy was fragile, with many shortcomings, ever deepening corruption and glaring lack of real political alternatives, but still it was a democracy.

    It is now being replaced with a political system that still might have formal democratic features, but they are only a facade for a sophisticated authoritarian regime serving the interest of the new Czech leader, Andrej Babiš whose only competition is president Miloš Zeman, who is arguably even worse in some respects.

    Andrej Babiš is the second richest citizen of the Czech Republic with personal fortune close to the one of Donald Trump, but in a country with significantly smaller population. The Andrej Babiš party is organized as a part of his property, so are the media he has bought to support his political efforts. His original business is agriculture and related chemicals and he has build his fortunes misusing the weakness of the state, twisting its subsidies and regulations in his favor.
