"Reactor No. 4 appeared badly damaged but Tepco officials blamed that on the force of the explosion at No. 3."

Well, after #3 exploded there was NO visible damage to unit 4 (scroll down to picture 9)

Frying Dutchman "Nails" Nuclear Power

This one from the Frying Dutchman, a Japanese musician.

19 minutes dialouge type musician rant on the street in Japan.

He really "nails it" with good subtitles.   He hit on the whole farce and back room dealings involved with nuclear power.

The simple fact is---we do not need nuclear energy anyone.

Watch it and drop a comment or two.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5p283KZGa8&feature=youtu.be

Yes he nailed it, another nail in the coffin of nuke, good riddance!

TELL SECRETARY CHU: STOP DOE LOANS FOR NEW GEORGIA REACTORS!
February 23, 2011
Dear Friends,
Two years ago, President Obama personally announced approval of a conditional taxpayer loan for new nuclear reactors in Georgia. Much has happened in those two years that make this conditional loan questionable at best, and more likely an $8 Billion+ loss to taxpayers. Indeed, two years later, President Obama's new budget asks for no new loan money for nuclear reactors--a dramatic shift from the past and one that reflects the reality of 2012. The DOE should now rescind this conditional loan for new reactors in Georgia, before the losses pile up.

Tell Secretary Chu to stop these loans now.

While the NRC has granted a construction/operating license to these reactors--the condition that was to spark the taxpayer loan, several environmental groups, including NIRS, have filed suit in federal court charging that the granting of this license was illegal. Clearly, taxpayer loans must not be granted before the outcome of this suit is known.

The conditional loan guarantee was granted under the presumption that the reactors would be built on time and on budget. Today, even before real construction has begun, these reactors are already behind schedule and over budget, according to the Georgia Public Service Commission's own watchdog. The original Vogtle reactors were 1200% over budget when completed. The potential for taxpayer losses that would dwarf the Solyndra debacle is extraordinarily high. After all, this loan would be 15 times larger than the Solyndra loan, and is probably 50 times riskier.

At the time the conditional loan was granted, there was a belief that there might be a nuclear power "renaissance" in the U.S. After Fukushima, that is clearly not happening. Even Standard & Poor's last week found the prospects of such a "renaissance" to be "faint." The Georgia reactors have not been required to meet post-Fukushima regulatory guidelines, and will not inspire construction of other new reactors. There is simply no justification to continue with these loans.

Tell Secretary Chu to stop these loans now.

Operators of the 104 nuclear reactors in the United States have agreed to purchase additional equipment to respond to emergencie
­s that interrupt off-site power, the Nuclear Energy Institute said on Tuesday.

The equipment will help ensure that every U.S. commercial nuclear energy facility can respond safely to extreme events, no matter what the cause, NEI said in a statemen




Ensure it eh?   Ensure the safety, eh? 

Any how about a large solar magnetic storm?   The sun giveth and the sun taketh away.....
In 1865 a large solar storm, a Carrington event.    Lucky that there were very few pipelines and wires, because it fried the few that were around.   

A sesquicentennial later... the world is different.   the human race can survive ANOTHER Carrington, but not if nukes are still running, not if spent fuel is still in water pools with REQUIRED circulation, because the nukers not just stuffed them full, but the NUKERS decided to "re-engineer" the storage to be even tighter, even more dangerous, having even LESS leeway on power loss before these spent fuel pool erupt in a fury of radioactive FIRE!.    

We are living on borrowed time.  We need to stop all nuke and dry casks all old fuel.   It will cost less than 1 years bonuses to Wallstreet.  Seriously.   

We got a Russian Roulette gun spinning.    Which year will it be....

Unit 3 did the Reactor or the Spent Fuel Pool Blow up

A troll (atoms) was pointing out how my analysis of prompt criticality at reactor 3, could be wrong, and that instead it good have been a hydrogen shockwave that initiated a further explosion at the spent fuel pool.   

Indeed, that was one of my theories also.   Funny those trolls.
TROLL
you said the unit 3 was a criticalit­y without proof. Here is another plausible explainati­on and quite frankly, the most likely -

a hydrogen shock tube - not a criticalit­y

http://www­.youtube.c­om/watch?v­=DGnKN7NzY­ik

Funny, the link above worked, and 60 minutes after I pimped this out around the net it went away, now its back here

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Q3ljfLvHww&feature=youtu.be

------------------------------------------
Check the video it is really good.   However, one thing.   Reactor 3 is gone, I mean completely gone.   They are big and yellow, it is not there anymore.   Only some fragments of yellow in the rubble.   Check all the photo and film docs....reactor 3 (the steel containment itself, gone away)

Also that is possible, the whole spent fuel pool could have been shockwaved into a major blast, aerosolizing a good portion of the fuel pool.

Same results--human race poisoned, that could also explain the 2600% over baseline density of uranium in air that EPA reported.

UPDATE: I found the RADNET link direct, the proof of all that uranium in the air.
http://www.epa.gov/japan011/docs/rert/radnet-cart-filter-final.pdf

And page 9 of this report shows the Honolulu baseline and the EPA data being 2600% higher.

Radiation Detector Usage Tips - How to Use a Geiger

I'll be adding to this "Tips on Geiger Counter, Radiation Detector Usage"


From time to time.  Eventually I will make it, it's own page (those tab thingys near the top, the filing cabinet, ya know)


But I already have 20 pages, and that is the limit for Blogger.    So I may have to start another Blog and link to it.

Good to see you have purchased a Geiger counter. Please post your background radiation readings in the enenews Radiation Monitoring Data forum once you have mastered it. The more information provided by everyone the better.

A couple tips.

If you do ground or external measurements on snow or wet surfaces make sure your Geiger counter in a sealed zip lock plastic bag. this is to protect it from contamination, and the elements. After out door use wash your hands and put on a pair of surgical gloves to remove it from the bag. Otherwise you could contaminated the Geiger counter.

Some of you use your Geiger counter to test food. Don't place it directly against fruit and vegetables etc., the surface contact could also contaminate your Geiger counter and prevent it from providing accurate measurements in the future. Put food for testing in a plastic bag first.

Geiger Counters are not sensitive enough to be of much use testing food or liquids unless the food or liquid is badly contaminated it won't show anything above your background level.

You really need a scintillator or spectrometer to do food and liquid testing properly, and the skills to work this equipment properly. Then again Geiger counter testing of food, or liquids before consumption is better than nothing.

Radiation Alert Inspector Detector Purchased

Took 2 months to process, but late than never.

 Radiation Alert Inspector Detector Purchased

I kept putting this off because it was never in stock.   Finally, just placed the order and then was patient.   I actually feel alot better about having SOME TYPE of radiation detector.

There is alot to detecting radiation, and I don't know it all, but will learn alot more and will share it.

100 holes in the so called safety vessel, the reactor must have lots of holes to work.

In response to pro-nuke Mike at Huffpost----
Ill put this at Da Pimp for safe storage.

Mike, you know those "reactor vessels" seem so "secure" heavy steel, protecting the dangerous nuclear process.    Makes the public feel OK that it is locked inside a heavy steel jar....but the weird part is that they have to put like 100 holes into the reactor vessel, its like why even bother to make it thick if you are going to put all those holes in it anyway....

And the way to "control"
 the reaction is through lots of holes right in the bottom.   Sure this isn't preferred, just that nuke fuels have limited handling capability, so they load in from the top, and the control rods which are as long as the fuel rods, are pushed in from the bottom.

Surely not a great design, but we are limited by reality, I just don't like all those holes.   That is where the corium escapes most easy in most meltdowns.  

 I just don't like that corium stuff, i hear its like those spent rods...if you are close enough to look at it, you die.

I just don't like all those holes, I don't feel like that stuff is really in a secure jar, way too many holes.  

Green Road to NO Reactor 3

Green Road had this reply to some MSM talking about dangers at the complex.  Check the links!
Green Road posts some good stuff!!!

He does speak with a GRAIN of truth.. Anyone trying to enter the reactor would decide it is too dangerous, because all that is left is Radioactive RUBBLE, spent fuel rod pieces, melted corium bits and radioactive dust, plus emissions coming from whatever is melting down into the ground under what is left of the building.
Yup, way too dangerous to even go close to that Pandora's Box of horrors.

51 of 54 shutdown in Japan

Supposedly the nuke plants used to supply 30% of Japan's electrical needs, now it is only 4% and yet things are pretty normal.    That doesn't really make sense.

Rude Trolls

Here is my response, the original poster, a Doctor from Oregon, was making a point, and this troll came up with an insulting pot shot...

 Doctors comment---


19 hours ago (12:27 AM)
CARLTON — Kewaunee Power Station is one of 11 nuclear plants nationwide being asked to provide informatio
­n on its analysis of how hot nuclear fuel rods could get if they lose coolant.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission said in a news release Friday that reactor designer Westinghou­se Electric Co. might not have properly accounted for the effect of a loss of coolant on older nuclear fuel rods.
NRC regulation­s say temperatur­es must be 2,200 degrees Fahrenheit or less to keep from damaging fuel rod insulation that keeps radiation from escaping.
The 11 nuclear plants from which informatio­n was requested have computer models that estimate peak temperatur­es of 2,000 degree or more. A recent Westinghou­se analysis of a pressurize­d-water reactor, such as Kewaunee and the others have, indicated temperatur­es could vary from what was previously estimated by more than 100 degrees. That's too close to the limit, the NRC said

BOOOOOMMMM­!
See Fukushima, if it ever happened, it can happen again.....­.next time worse.....­thats how things work.
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Troll----Westinghou­se is PWR. Fukushima is BWR. Do you even understand the difference­? Geez you need to get some proper schooling.


Your comment is abusive and insulting and here is why...you pretend that the boom potential of fuel melting is somehow eliminated by the difference between Pressurized Water Reactor and Boiling Water Reactor.   The BWR is more old school and the water and steam that run the turbines go directly through the reactor.   on the PWR you have a separation between "hell" and the turbines through a set of heat exchangers.   

But the boom potential is not lessened, you just don't have a highly radioactive turbine (mostly just tritium).    Now the bad part is that these heat exhangers now become a massive failure point.

Back in the BWR day, you knew that any part of the system could spew radiation.   In the PWR dream, you didn't have to worry about the turbine side, unless of course substandard steel alloys were being bought from China and put into the system, and failing, allowing the hellishly radioactive water to jump from the hell side to the supposedly safe side.   ---even easier to release to environment

And that is what is happening these days as nukies are harder pressed to compete with cheap energy sources like solar and wind, and natural gas.   They are taking shortcuts on materials and safety, and it is blowing up in their faces.    BOOM

I do expect this dying Bronto, the nuke cabal, to rear its ugly head a few times before sinking into the primordial ooze, but the future is clear.  

"Geez you need to get some proper schooling", now that really is abusive.   Its a pot shot.   It is unnecessary for the decorum of this communication channel that Huff Post is kind enough to offer as a venue for education and discussion.

Kewaunee bought at bargain basment price $182M in 2005

http://www.jsonline.com/business/nuclear-power-faces-headwinds-k748531-139564298.html

Trouble is, they are losing tens of millions a year.

Madison Wisconsin is not longer going to buy power from them.   Madison is buying power from PV owners and running their own natural gas turbines.

Do you think they will run this plant to the epitome of safety, or do you think they will cut corners?

They want to sell this thing, to some slum lord.

Great, slumlords running nuke plants.

Yah der Eh, why not pound a few brewski's while running dat plant
