The Roy Process
There are reasonable ways to actually get rid of radioactive elements, causing them to quickly decay to stable isotopes.
But the cartel doesn't want to change from the money grubbing ways that it knows. Sheesh, they didn't even change from uranium to thorium. Thorium is still dangerous, BUT way better than uranium. Their inability to change just shows that the greed of looking for the cheese in all the old places is just too strong. Too big of an infrastructure in scientific knowledge and processes, and therefore it never changed, even though it could have fairly easily changed for the better.
Hence once reason that nuke must go. They deceive by hiding behind their "grand science" while avoiding improvements.
The Roy Process Patent application, apparatus & theory, which contains completed
calculations for transmuting Pu 239, Sr 90 and Cs 137, can only be seen by
scientists representing a company capable of realization who contracts with us.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was the TMI partial meltdown that moved Dr. Roy to spend the summer school break proving calculations to see if it was possible to transmute high level nuclear waste cost effectively. He found it could be done with existing infrastructure, commercially available machinery and current supporting technology.
Estimated cost to build a pilot facility was $80 million dollars. A newspaper editor persuaded Dr. Roy to release his Roy Process to the press which was published in November of 1979.

Below is from Majia, who writes a great blog on all the same stuff that I watch.
French philosopher Jean Baudrillard argues that today reality is no longer real in terms of public understandings of contemporary events and phenomena http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperreality
Public perceptions of the real are shaped by mainstream media spin, which often deviates significantly from empirically verifiable conditions.
(E.G., see http://majiasblog.blogspot.com/2012/03/public-relations-is-propaganda.html)
Thus, Baudrillard believes that mainstream media provide us with simulated images of reality. He refers to media simulations as hyper-realities.
Simulated hyper-real images are produced by oligarchic corporations that control multiple media: print (newspapers and periodicals), television, and radio.
[The oligarchic media corporations have a lot less control over the anarchic Internet; although, they do monopolize the production of Internet news. Bloggers and other non-oligarchic affiliated individuals and groups produce some news but mostly parse what is produced by the oligarchs (myself included).]
Hyper-reality is fundamentally political and typically reflects the interests of oligarchs.
Edward Bernays, the father of 20th century propaganda, argued that it is the function of the media to narrow people's choices and interpretations in order that the natural born rulers can operate with the consent of the masses.
The oligarchic media corporations are only to happy to pursue this function.
Fact is obliterated by the mainstream media when oligarchic interests are at stake.
We have seen how the media propagate lies and distortions in the following situations:
A. The run up to the first and second Persian Gulf Wars (e.g., weapons of mass destruction)
B. The coverage of the BP Gulf Oil Spill (e.g., oil gone)
C. The Fukushima crisis (Washington Post editorial 4/23)
I acknowledge that there are reporters and editors who seek to report truth, even when these reports threaten established power hierarchies.
However, too often the oligarchic media representations of events bear little resemblance to empirically verifiable conditions.
Please see my Lessons of Fukushima powerpoint for factual support of my claims:
http://www.powershow.com/view/3813de-MmI2M/Lessons_of_Fukushima_Powerpoint_Majia_Nadesan_flash_ppt_presentation
http://asu.academia.edu/majianadesan/Papers/1506315/Lessons_From_Fukushima
As I write this post I am simultaneously observing Fukushima on the Tepco webcam. The plant has been erupting steam or smoke with increasing vigor over the last 24 hours. Indeed, yesterday's eruption was so massive that I experienced FEAR while watching it.

154,300 Pound Meteorite hit the Earth last night
It landed in fragments in the Sierra foothills of California.
The meteor probably weighed about 154,300 pounds, said Bill Cooke, a specialist in meteors at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala. At the time of disintegration, he said, it probably released energy equivalent to a 5-kiloton explosion. The Hiroshima bomb was 15 kilotons.
"They" the scientists tasked to protect us from such things, knew nothing about this until it hit the atmosphere at 44,000 miles and hour, getting so hot that it didn't burn it vaporized.
These same think tank expert types are the ones telling that nuke can be made safe, that we can "soup up" the clunker nuclear plants and get even more power out of them, that only a handful of people ever got hurt by radiation from nuke.
The draw of the science, the sexiness of it all on the surface belies the ugliness of the denial that blinds.

There has NEVER been a US commercial nuclear power plant which has
"blown up" that is a fact which you cannot deny. Please stop spreading
this obviously false information..
1 second ago ( 9:50 PM)This comment is pending approval and won't be displayed until it is approved.
Uh, Three Mile Island
Or perhaps....let me do your response for you....
It DID not blow up, it melted down, and not even through containment,
and it only took 20 years to clean up, unlike Fukushima that will take 50 years.
AND there was no immediate health effects either, even though all the flies were killed in a 30 mile radius even on cow farms, but we chalk that up as a net positive effect of nuclear, no flies on us.
US Gov Says Nukes Too Risky
The CBO does financial analysis on the US budget, and clearly states that all nuke is shaky at best.
Shaky doesn't stir up warm feelings
http://www.cbo.gov/publication/42211
Historical experience suggests that investing in nuclear generating capacity engenders considerable risk. One study found that of the 117 privately owned plants in the United States that were started in the 1960s and 1970s and for which data were available almost all of them experienced significant cost overruns and 48 of them were cancelled. (In its analysis, CBO relied on a credit-ratings-based approach to evaluate the probability of default rather than on the historical experience of the nuclear industry, for which not enough data exist to draw quantitative inferences.)
- It may not be possible to charge borrowers the full cost of a loan guarantee because of the high degree of uncertainty involved. When adverse selection is severe, attempts to offset expected losses with an increase in fees can backfire because the higher fees drive away creditworthy borrowers, making it impossible to provide a loan guarantee that does not involve a subsidy.
Most of the utilities that have undertaken nuclear projects suffered ratings downgrades—sometimes several downgrades—during the construction phase. However, bondholders experienced losses from defaults in only a few instances. Losses for the most part were borne by the projects’ equity holders, the regions’ electricity ratepayers, and the government. Some analysts argue that newer plant designs and changes in the regulatory environment make nuclear investments less risky now, but recent experience abroad suggests that cost overruns and delays are still common phenomena, and concerns remain about an uncertain regulatory environment and changes in demand for electricity.
The study was written by Wendy Kiska and Deborah Lucas of CBO’s Financial Analysis Division.

Dandelions! Bull market!
Our dandelions in our yard in N. Seattle are huge this year! Some look more like chrysanthemums than our typical dandelions. I think the cesium gave them an extra boost in their growth…? But sadly, I've seen double-fused small apples on a young apple tree in our neighbor's yard last Fall, and lots and lots of black spots on leaves and holes in leaves (which I wondered if they were from slugs or bugs, but these weren't on the edges of the leaves but in the middle of the leaves as if the holes were burnt through.)

Clunkers Everywhere
The endgame of the Keynesian experiment started around 1980
Lots of infrastructure was built around that time. Money started flowing, taxes started increasing.
Lots of facilities work well for around 30 to 40 years.
All that stuff, the nuke plants, the electrical grid itself is reaching the point of being just too old.
Look at the amazing increase in severe power outages.
Nukers tell me how the power grid is "robust" and how that it could easily handle a Carrington event, and that things can and would be disconnected in time.
What a bunch of hogwash. Do you think that a corporation will shut down their grid pre-emptively on a "maybe" No way. Swing for the fence and if they strike out....well then the public pays the cost.
In the case of nukers, that means a good portion of 450 nuke plants will melt down on a massive grid failure. And that will be the end. The Mad Max days won't even last long, probably not even 6 months.

Cash for Clunkers - Palisades in the Spot Light!
Classic clunker - See comment at bottom RE Palisades Michigan clunker, makes Detroit look modern. And they are bringing in an additional 1165 people just to duct tape and baling wire this clunker together.
They cost so much to decommission, they just find excuses to keep running
Cash for clunkers is needed. Seriously, under the Corporate Creed of so called maximization of share holder value, "they" have no choice but to try to keep running these clunkers. The clunkers only cost $100M to $200M to buy, and a new plant cost $14B (that the Vogtle estimate and cost over runs usually are 250% so use your imagination)
So from a greed only (maximize shareholder value) the only option that makes sense is to keep the clunkers running, their insurance only pays $375M per plant, even though meltdown cleanup cost can run $100B to $200B per government estimates.
So if we really want these plants shut down, we, the taxpayers will need to chip in to decommission them. Either way, you pay. Pay with your health and life when they blow up, and you know more than 1% of them blow up, or pay to help decommission.

There is sure to be elevated levels around the Palisades plant.
Troubled Michigan nuclear plant shut down for maintenance
Palisades Power Plant, a 39-year-old facility located near Kalamazoo, has been under increased scrutiny from inspectors after the Nuclear Regulatory Commission cited the plant for three safety violations. The plant is currently owned and operated by Entergy Corporation.
Officials are bringing in 1,165 additional workers to complete the scheduled maintenance, according to Mark Savage, a spokesman for the plant. Repairs include replacing 64 fuel assemblies, inspecting the reactor vessel head, replacing five control rod drive seals and inspecting steam generators, moister separators and heat exchangers. Entergy also said it plans to rebuild the main feed pump seals.

Troll type silliness, saying Fuel Pool 4 is fine all fine.
Troll is attempting to say that Fuel Pool 4 is totally stable, and when pressed for details he provides this the picture below, and refuses to comment on the seismic.

And yet, the fuel in #4 SFP is not burning, and never has been. The reenforcement structure placed under the pool, a project started almost immediately after the building was damaged, and completed recently, is sufficient to support the pool independant of the curtain walls of the reactor building. The pool has a steel liner, which is intact.
It's been over a year.

What seismic is that rated for?
Like that reactor 1 cover....they built it for 65 MPH rated wind load, when Japan gets typhoons all the time.....hmmmm
Another "safe" calculation. Hopefully nothing beyond design basis happens......same old lies of nuke.
------------------------------------
These fuel pools are massive. Picture the biggest municipal swim pool in your city, now make it 10 times bigger, then perch it 100' feet up clinging to the side of a nuclear reactor. 500,000 lbs of fuel rods, AND then 30 feet of water on top of it. You can imagine, water is a "live load" in an earthquake it will roll back and forth maybe even getting into a rhythm that can really stress a structure.
So look below, little stilt support structures, whatever happened to 30" I-Beams, eh?
It looks half assed. Sure they ran some engineering calcs, and sure they made some assumptions about a quick deployment versus a long term fix. The fate of humanity, you and me and your little dog too rests on those steel poles, on a broken conglomeration of first generation nuke plants, run by a zombie company living on handouts, on the ring of fire. I expect a better fix than that.

Picture the biggest municipal swim pool in your city, now make it 10 times bigger, then perch it 100' feet up clinging to the side of a nuclear reactor. 500,000 lbs of fuel rods, AND then 30 feet of water on top of it. You can imagine, water is a "live load" in an earthquake it will roll back and forth maybe even getting into a rhythm that can really stress a structure.
So look below, little stilt support structures, whatever happened to 30" I-Beams, eh?
It looks half assed. Sure they ran some engineering calcs, and sure they made some assumptions about a quick deployment versus a long term fix. The fate of humanity, you and me and your little dog too rests on those steel poles, on a broken conglomeration of first generation nuke plants, run by a zombie company living on handouts, on the ring of fire. I expect a better fix than that.

TONE
Several of the Carbon Capture Report displays integrate information on the tone of the underlying content. The following indicators are available:- Tone/Positivity/Negativity. Specially-tuned linguistic algorithms examine the text of each document and determine the overall "tone" of the wording it uses. This does not measure how positive or negative the underlying events being reported on are, but rather how positive or negative the writer is portraying them as. For example, an announcement of a new wind turbine plant might be viewed as an extremely positive event for wind energy proponents, while local townspeople might view it as an extremely negative development to be fought. Both sides will likely generate news coverage casting the turbine plant in either a positive or negative light, respectively. This measure therefore offers insight into local and global reaction to new developments. Positivity and Negativity measures indicate the raw intensities of positive and negative content, while Tone is a composite of the two, with a positive score indicating the text is more positive, and a negative score indicating a more negative text. Tone can range from -100 to +100, but in practice usually falls into the range -10 to +10.
- Polarity. Polarity measures the overall "emotional charge" of a text, independent of its tone. An article with equal levels of positive and negative content will have a Tone score of neutral, but if it contained significant emotional wording on both sides, it will still have a high polarity score. Polarity therefore measures how "emotional" an article is, ranging from 0 to 100, with lower scores indicating more "clinical" texts that simply recount facts, and higher scores indicating more impassioned pleas and discussions.
- Activity. Activity measures the intensity of "active language" in a text, indicating whether a text is more passive and scientific in nature, recounting a series of factual statements, or more active, encouraging the reader to take action and using intense language to discuss information. This indicator ranges from 0 to 100, with lower scores suggesting factual recollections and higher scores suggesting emotional calls to action.
- Personalization. Personalization measures the degree to which the writer attempts to bring the reader into the fold as "part of the story" versus maintaining clinical detachment in describing events. For example, a blog post could simply criticize a new power plant and suggest its construction should be protested, or it could invoke the reader as a fellow activist, encouraging him or her to "join in" on the fight against the plant. Personalization ranges from 0 to 100, with higher personalization levels usually indicating calls to action and other more subtle mechanisms of encouraging the reader to be "one of the group."
- Questions/Exclamations. Tweets have two further tone indicators: questions and exclamations. Given their 140-character size limit, Tweets make heavier use of punctuation as tone carriers, and these metrics reflect tone carried through non-word mechanisms.
