Freaked Out Nuke Worker

This from a post on Nuke Worker website
Ya think we might just deserve a better level of worker, what say you?

 Finally got into the nuke industry with Atlantic Group at the Calvert Cliffs shutdown (expensive there!!)

On the first day (mind you this was my first job in the industry) during orientation I recieved a call on my cell phone that my wife was in the emergency room and I freaked out and left the plant and flew back to WI. Ok not too bad so far ( and now my wife is out of the hospital).

The bad part is that I didn't tell anyone at the plant I was leaving and I freaked out and just left. I called my recruiter at AG and he chewed me a new hole in my bottom and hung up on me. Not good!! Now I am out of work and he won't return my calls and I think I just screwed myself royaly in the industry. So what do you guys and gals think I should do, I am desperatly in need of the work and have to find something here even if I could go back to Calvert for Bartlett or Ames, my craft was only a laborer and I can do just about anything if they would let me (LOL). But I jsut wanted to get my DOE clearence first. Suggestions would be helpful, thanks

Greed of Nuke, Uprates are at a Blow Off Top

Unbridled greed of the nuke industry Charts say it all

Entergy is a Slum Lord

Like this stuff?





When you look at the Nuke plants in the USA which have the worst records of safety, the most violations, the most dangerous, one name keeps coming up

Entergy

Now the troubled Pilgrim plant is trying to shut down because of a snow storm.    If it doesn't shut down, then it melts down, it is really that simple.

"Valve problem plagues Pilgrim nuclear plant"
http://www.capecodonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20130206/NEWS/302060332
Fixing safety valves by pumping reactor power up and down? Oookay… After already replacing said valves, which is to say the problem is somewhere else.
http://bostonglobe.com/business/2013/01/24/pilgrim-nuclear-plant-back-online-questions-linger-plymouth/k25udeba1UpwJlvQrPUa4M/story.html
"Another incident would likely trigger a tougher federal review, said Dave Lochbaum, director of the Nuclear Safety Project at the Union of Concerned Scientists." I guess this would be at least ninth outage or unexpected problem in 2 years for this Fukushima twin.
http://www.wickedlocal.com/wellfleet/news/x2105871310/Pilgrim-nuclear-meltdown-risk-spurs-Cape-lawmakers-to-action
"The plant was designed to hold 880 spent fuel rods. It now holds 3,200, Rolbein said." Talk of plans to shutter in Cape Cod for 6 hours in case of meltdown so as to allow people from other areas to evacuate first. Now that's emergency planning!

From comment by FREEDOMROX at ENENEWS
Troubles at Pilgrim Nuclear Plant
W/Video
With the end of its 40-year license approaching in 2012, the owners of Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station in Plymouth have applied for a 20-year extension. But opponents of the plant, including some local and state politicians, question the reactor's safety after three sister reactors in Japan experienced explosions and likely meltdowns this past year. There also is the lingering issue of a tightly packed spent-fuel storage pool at Pilgrim. Finally, there are concerns about the fact that hundreds of thousands of residents and visitors on Cape Cod would have nowhere to go in the event of an emergency. This WGBH News three-part series looks at these issues and others, while discussing how the context for plant relicensing has changed in light of the ongoing crises at Fukushima in Japan.

From a blog operator who own land near Palisades
 The Palisades nuclear plant can be used to illustrate the concerns I have. It has a history of problems and repairs that need to be made yet the NRC continues to find ways to allow it to remain in operation. In my opinion the company that owns Palisades, “Entergy” is becoming the slum lord of nuclear plant operators. Entergy purchased Palisades which needed repairs and has not made them.

 from Fluffpost blog

 I have a master degree from the U of Mich in material science, and mechanical engineering. So I understand alot about what it takes to abuse atoms to the point them want to give up their neutrons (think neutering the atom, they won't do they willingly).

And for a while I thought the science and technology could be made clean enough to be statistically safe. That was my minor of study, probability and statistics.

Now, after revisiting what the nuclear industry has been doing, I have come to the conclusion that humans and nuclear cannot occupy the same planet and be safe.

Here is why, a manifesto

http://nukeprofessional.blogspot.com/p/manifesto-why-shut-them-down.html

------------------------------------------
 If you understand materials and science you must know the issue is a human one not a scientific one. Having come to such a conclusion you might then want to take another look at probability and statistics because they’re a lot more things out there that will kill you plus many others faster an more likely...and yes with more devastation which you live with everyday.

The human problems start with not solving issues but ignoring them or regressing to defensive positions. Edison once told Tesla that alternating current would destroy the world…how’s your lights working?
---------------------
Systems operate within certain rule, on a large scale you can't avoid but have an end result dictated by the normal rules.    On a small scale, you can actually "break the rules" at least for a time, you can control the entropy and the natural path. 

Humans have some negative characteristics that over time will play out with predictable results.   Greed and the need for power and control are some of the worst, ignorance and denial don't help either.    On a grand scale, you can't control these factors, they will eventually play out.    We have wars all the time.   

When you mix humans and nuke, the outcome is predictable over time.

Beta monitoring

I finally figured out how to use the EPA site to generate Beta charts.

First one I looked at, WOW, Spokane WA really got dosed this week, I wonder if anyone told them?

Anything over 100 CPM is a big concern.


Radnet Realtime Gamma Charts

Here is a link to the Gamma charts---see the Beta charts below, when Fuku and local sources go off, you will see the big moves on the BETA

http://www.epa.gov/radnet/radnet-data/index.html

Man, It is hard to find the right link at the Radnet site, never seen a site so bad.

HERE is the BETA Charts!   finally found them.   Higgins used to link up these charts on his nicely deisgned site before Hurricane Sandy wiped out his house and servers.

Palisades - Propaganda for the Clunker

Palisades is another Clunker on Lake Michigan.   Just like Kewaunee on the Wisconsin side, the clunker Palisades is on the Michigan side.    Think if a Fukushima type release into the water occurred  in this landlocked Lake....the midwest would be killed and that would probably be enough kill off the American empire.

How can we take these risks?    Through greed, we have achieved action akin to insanity.   The lure, the promises of power "too cheap to meter" has played out in Orwellian fashion with reality setting in above the propaganda, and Kewaunee is being shut down because it can't compete with Nat Gas and Solar.    

Palisades also has THE WORST Embrittled reactor due to:

1) Age of plant and extent of neutron bombardment
2) Specifics of Metallic Alloying of the reactor vessel including the weld materials.

I did a future article on Embittlement.   It's very important.    In an emergency, when the reactor was melting down and at very high pressure, the addition of cooling water would crack the whole thing open with a massive radioactive explosion.   Read up, it's worth it.

http://nukeprofessional.blogspot.com/2016/01/palisades-nuclear-has-brittle-reactor.html

Now the NRC is partaking in "communication with the public", to assure them how safe Palisades is....after a series of 4 pipes leaked radiation right through the wall of the pipe...not at a joint, not at a pump, not due to seismic event, just a plain old rust through....like a 1960's car with multiple holes in the radiator and engine block, and yet they want this clunker to live on.

PS Communication = Propaganda

Drop by the NRC website and drop a comment.  They are pretty good about not censoring comments that are civilly worded, even if critical.

Radiation Spread in the Pacific, a good model

This model does self admit that they are completely ignoring the effects of bio accumulation, which would make things much worse.    Looks like Hawaii is already seeing the ocean impact.

The red zone is 1/1000 times less than the original dispersion in Japan.    That doesn't sound all that great considering they just caught a fish with 254,000 Bq per kG at the Fukushima harbor.    Anything above 100 Bq/kG is extremely bad.    Eating 1kG of this fish is like a total of 2 years of total radiation exposure, and ITS INTERNAL!

Mass Murders by Democrats?

Seen on a blog

1. Ft Hood~~~ Registered Democrat ~ Muslim

2. Columbine ~~~ Too young to vote; both families were registered Democrats and progressive liberals.

3. Virginia Tech ~~~ Wrote hate mail to President Bush and to his staff ~ Registered Democrat

4. Colorado Theater ~~~ Registered Democrat; staff worker on the Obama campaign;
Occupy Wall Street participant; & progressive liberal.

5. Connecticut School Shooter- ~~~ Registered Democrat; hated Christians.

Common thread is that all of these shooters were progressive liberal Democrats.

Also, of the worst killings in the last several decades, only one was a female,
all the rest were boys, barely men, and none of them had a strong male father
or role model in the household. Their role models were rappers, action movies,
comics and violent video games. Our problem isn't weapons, it's boys without
boundaries. Who live in 'progressive' households

Fukushima Lies After the Earthquake


WonderingNThinking
Think Before We Sink
9 hours ago ( 3:31 AM)
This all sounds like a bunch of doublespeak:
http://www.tepco.co.jp/en/nu/fukushima-np/index-e.html

After the earthquake occurred at 5:18 pm on December 7, 2012, we have conducted checkups at the Fukushima Daini Nuclear Power Station, and have found there was no problem.
Since we had found positive pressure in the reactor building of Unit 1, we have started Stand by Gas Treatment System* (the pressure was 0.05 kPa at that time of the start), and confirmed negative pressure in the reactor building. The negative pressure has been kept currently. We will conduct inspections for the cause of this matter.

The fluctuation of the monitoring post readings is being maintained within the range of normal fluctuation before and after the earthquake and currently no radiation impact to the outside of the power station has been reported due to the earthquake. The Unit 1 of Fukushima Daini Nuclear Power Station is under the cold shutdown condition and there is no problem.


Nuke Pro sayeth------
 ---------------------------------------------------------------
Yep, real doublespeak, you wonder how much is translation related, but obviously simple concept like "no problem" versus.....we found positive pressure, i.e. the coriums remaining in the building were jostled around with the cooling crust broken and the hot underlying corium shaken and stirred and reacting with metals and producing hydrogen and other gases which  definitely released alot of radioactive gases, and of course, potentially highly explosive.   However, since we can now operate a venting system and eject these radioactive and explosive gases high into the atmosphere through our remaining vent towers, we are able to report that our already fudged radiation monitors at ground level and upwind...well, suffice it to say that we only had to lie a little bit to say "no problem". 

By dilution of these radioactive gases into  the atmosphere of the HOME PLANET, we have effectively protected the workers at the jobsite, thereby setting up our "get out of jail free card" to prevent lawsuits, and of course we can continue to parrot " no one harmed by Fukushima".    Thank Kami-san for science and those tall venting towers, and the fact that the Government is now complicit in the cover up operations since we are effectively nationalized, however the elite at the top can still extract huge salaries and bonuses as if this was a non-zombie company, but after all, we are stressed out so you are lucky we don't just run away.

Ruh-roh, I guess it is winter again...maybe we better check the insulation on the pipes so they don't freeze and leak like last year....but that is messy work, so we will just say that with nuclear power fighting the evil global warming causes by natural gas, that with the global warming that freezing is beyond the design basis, and therefore we can get the ratepayers AND taxpayers to pay us more to cleanup any freeze related mess caused by this mother nature that we can't predict.

Out TEPCO (masters of shenanigans and fleecing)

Sierra Club takes Stance against Nuke

Why Nuclear Power Doesn't Make Sense

As the disasters at Chernobyl, Three Mile Island and Fukushima have shown, nuclear power can cause catastrophic damage to land, human health, and our food supply. We should pursue our cleanest, quickest, safest, and cheapest energy options first: Nuclear power comes out last in every one of those categories.
In the long-term, nuclear power is also unnecessary: With an intensive effort to exploit our clean energy resources, we can power our society, create good jobs, and keep our environment healthy with renewable energy such as solar and wind. With the right policies and investments, we can achieve 100 percent renewable energy in our lifetimes -- without nuclear power.

Fukushima resources after the Earthquake

 Links below are stolen from

AFter Higgins house and website were wiped out by Sandy, I learned the importance of not relying on another website to store link locations.   So I will store them here, with credit to the source.

Dec07.12  5:00 am PST  The Fukushima hit by 7.3 Richter EQ and 1 m. tsunami.  The area has been bouncing along at 5-12 EQ a week for quite a while.  Today is the worst since 3/11.  Here's what my resources are saying 5 hours after the initial shock.
  • I see MSNBC report on the latest 7.3 EQ near Fukushima, with 1 m tsunami.
  • Live TEPCO webcam shows good, clear shot. Everything quiet and looking normal.  Helpful
  • Live TBS webcam is down.  Worthless.  
  • TBS historical camera 2012.1207_17.23@2:41-2:49 shows the EQ, no visible effect on the facility. Helpful.
  • USGS EQ map says 7.3 at 08:18 UTC -- followed by multiple bumps over 6.0 Helpful
  • ENENews is down at first but comes up.  Says nothing.  Worthless.
  • Nicholls EQ map is scrambled..  Worthless.
  • Jap gov't EQ map -- minimal info.  Almost worthless.
  • Japanese gov’t EQ "predictor" says "No information."  Worthless.
  • Fukishima Diary is reporting in real time, and using the event to beg for money, as per usual.  Helpful
  • Fairewinds says nothing, except begging for money, as usual.  Worthless.
  • JapanTimes says nothing.  Worthless
  • Fukushima Update says nothing.  Worthless.
