Fukushima disaster still ongoing - getting much worse...

Japan TV ‘News Flash’: Officials fear melted reactor fuel is now exposed at Fukushima — Tepco: We don’t know at this point if fuel is uncovered — Large drop in water level — Experts ‘struggling’ to find condition of nuclear cores, nothing is known for all 3 reactors

This is just the latest of serious incidents at the plant.  There's been a huge cover-up of the seriousness of all this, with the resulting pollution of oceans all around.  I just wonder what the end result will be. The thing is, this has never happened in the history of mankind, at least not to this extent or in this way. We really don't know what may happen and the scientists that tell us are only giving a hypothesis of what they believe will be the outcome. Right now, I'm very concerned that this may explode and shoot many kilograms of concentrated death into the atmosphere - many times worse than anything that has happened as of yet.

Also, Japan's water table is going to be absolutely worthless to use for human consumption. What happens when the radioactive waste causes massive amounts of hydrogen buildup underground? We don't know, but I'm betting on something "not good".

Hi Tess, very worrying and the whole world seems to be jogging along not giving this a second thought. I remember 3 Mile Island, and how everyone was shaking in their boots about what might happen. Don't they realise how bad this is? The sea pollution is bad enough but this latest report is more scarey than anything so far, and no-one seems to be taking the slightest bit of notice!

Morning Sassy. I'm amazed at how little's being said about this. But maybe that's intentional, don't want to be alarmist after all - until the damn thing explodes!

I've been trying to post of this and keep informed as to what is going on. As you know, I'm no conspiracy theorist but this smacks of a very big conspiracy to keep the world happy while a huge disaster just sits waiting to happen.

I simply don't understand why world scientists are not getting together over this, it's not just Japan that is going to be messed up.

 

ANOTHER conspiracy horror story fresh from yet another previously-unheard-of conspiracy internet "news" site...

I wonder how many "oceans" those idiots behind these stories think might surround Fukushima ?

AND then there's the small fact that Fukushima still hasn't got anywhere near either Chernobyll nor the Muraroa Atoll disasters ~ never let a small thing like the truth get in the way of some good online scaremongering !   :: 

NOT to worry ~ I suggest that Tess' should consider getting sassy onto the job, quicksmart ! After all, despite her lack of any scientific knowledge or training, sassy still keeps on claiming that she knows more about this subject than anyone else..  Even going so far as to suggest that California has already been nuked by her mythical "Fukushima radiation plumes"...

** ANOTHER Public Service announcement from your friendly boffins at the Wycarabugga Conspiracy Busters Collective and Bigot Denouncers Association; (inc. in Nuiu, and the state of Delaware..). **

You stupid little man, NHK is a very well respected Japanese radio station, and the link is from TEPCO who run Fukushima. Go back and stick your head in the sand.

Tess, you might be interested in this that was put up today:

We are going to build Nuclear Stations in this country, suddenly Fracking seems more attractive.

Nope, expecially if you live in an area that has radon in the ground, fracking will push the radon up into your house (because they are going to be allowed to frack through the ground underneath your house and you can't stop them.   And radon is not nice, never mind your house cracking etc.  


A Texas jury decision could be the sign of things to come after a Texas family was awarded 2.95 Million following the terror of living near an Aruba Petroleum fracking operation. Could this court decision mark a change in the assault felt through many of the states in America and also in Canada?





This LA Times article was featured in the Common Sense Canadian and reproduced in tact here.

   In a landmark legal victory that centered on fracking, a middle-class north Texas ranching family won nearly $3 million from a big natural gas company whose drilling, they contend, caused years of sickness, killed pets and livestock, and forced them out of their home for months.

   Tuesday’s $2.95-million civil verdict by a six-person Dallas jury is thought to be the first of its kind in the nation. Other landowners have sued over drilling and reached settlements, but legal experts think this is the first jury verdict.

   Robert and Lisa Parr filed suit against Aruba Petroleum Inc. in 2011, contending that its operations near their land had contaminated the air and harmed their health. Their lawsuit has been closely watched by both critics and supporters of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, which involves pumping water laced with chemicals into shale formations to unlock trapped oil and gas.

   “I am just overwhelmed,” Lisa Parr said in a telephone interview Wednesday. “I feel like I am just this little bitty girl, this little family who just beat the biggest, most powerful industry in the world.”

   Aruba Petroleum, based in Plano, Texas, said it had done nothing wrong and had operated within safe and legal guidelines. “We contended the plaintiffs were neither harmed by the presence of our drilling operations nor was the value of their property diminished because of our natural gas development,” Aruba said in a statement.

If fracking is done in an area nobody wants to live or work or is not countryside we cherish, and there is lots of it to spare, like America, that one thing.  The Government knows they will have to go under houses, which is why they are passing a bill so you can't stop them!

Quake In Greeley, Colorado New Ammo In Anti-Fracking War

Greeley quake adds ammunition to Colorado fracking war
On Saturday night, a 3.4 magnitude earthquake rumbled out from its epicenter 4.8 miles north east of Greeley, the city at the heart of the northern Front Range gas patch in Colorado, shaking homes and baffling residents and raising more questions about the safety of the intense drilling activity that has covered Weld County with tens of thousands of wells.

“Felt like someone was on the roof pounding it with a very big sledge hammer and the windows also shaked,” wrote one of the more than hundred area residents who filed brief accounts at Earthquake Report. “Went outside to see if someone was on the roof. Found myself in the company of my neighbors who also experienced their houses shaking.”

The temblor hit the city at 9:35 p.m. Emergency teams in Greeley reported numerous calls coming in initially but have reported no real damage in the hours since. The Greeley Tribune reported the quake knocked a trailer home off its blocks. Residents in Front Range cities Fort Collins and Longmont reported feeling the rumble.

The natural gas extraction practice known as hydraulic fracturing has made the Niobrara rock formation stretched out under Weld County a bonanza for drillers over the last decade. Drillers poke wells vertically and horizontally into the earth and then blast millions of gallons of a water-sand-chemical mixture down into them to break up rock and bring oil and gas to the surface. Fracking fluid comes back too, laden with toxins and low-level radiation. Drillers partly dispose of that fluid by shooting it into injection wells drilled miles below the surface.

Quake trackers have long noted that injection wells generate temblors. There are more than 150,000 injection wells that hold hundreds of billions of fracking wastewater in the United States. The location of the wells in states like Texas and Oklahoma and Ohio correspond to earthquake activity.

The Tribune reported on Sunday that the epicenter of the Greeley quake is located a mile and a half from “two oil and gas wastewater injection wells that have not been inspected by the state since August 2012.” The Tribune reported that the wells are operated by Denver-based High Sierra Water Services.

The quake comes as a political battle over drilling heats to a boil in Colorado.

Residents of five Front Range towns in the last few elections have voted for bans and moratoriums on fracking. Residents in conservative Greeley have pushed back, too, attending city and county commission hearings, demanding better zoning protections against drillers who have set up well pads in backyards and next to schools and city parks.

The state now sets the rules on drilling but, as boom-time industry trucks stream through neighborhoods and leaks and spills and tank explosions make headlines, the legislature in Denver has repeatedly failed to act to tighten regulations and bolster inspections. In response, citizens this election year have introduced a dozen ballot initiatives seeking greater local control.

Governor John Hickenlooper is holding negotiations in Denver to try and come to a legislative solution. The drilling industry is reportedly split on whether to back any new law or to take its chances at the ballot box. Industry representatives have already set aside millions of dollars to fight the initiatives in the coming months with media campaigns.

We need green power and we could have it is the Government put as much punch behind it as they are putting into fracking.

THAT explains why I don't need to take a torch when I go outside of an evening anymore, these days...

WHAT with all of this glowing in the dark and the rest of it..
