Study: Concentrated Fukushima radioactive plume staying on narrow path toward U.S. — Moving with surface water along 40 N — Same latitude as Northern California (MAP)


Stay out of the rain and be sure to do a heavy metal detox with zeolite to help cleanse radiation from your body, radiation is in the environment and will be for many years. When we get spikes like this it’s wise to take extra precautions, espcially children and youth whose cells are still multiplying.

[...] The main body of radioactive surface plume of which activity exceeded 10 Bq m−3 travelled along 40° N and reached the International Date Line on March 2012, one year after the accident. A distinct feature of the radioactive plume was that it stayed confined along 40° N when the plume reached the International Date Line. [...]

A distinct feature of the radioactive plume was that it stayed confined along 40 N when the plume reached the International Date Line, as stated in Sect. 3.2. The radioactive plume travelled 1800 km (from 160 E to 178 E) for 270 days (9 months) (Fig. 5); therefore, an average zonal speed (u) of the surface radioactive plume was calculated to be about 8 cm s−1 which was consistent with the speed of the reported surface current of 4–16 cm s−1 in the region (Maximenko et al., 2009). [...]

We can also assume that the Fukushima radioactive plume moved with surface water [...]

U.S. nuclear reactor cracked, plant shut down


WITN: Shearon Harris Nuclear Plant Shut Down After Crack Discovered [...] A nuclear power plant which is 20 miles south of Raleigh has been shut down after a crack and corrosion was found in the reactor vessel. [...] The Nuclear Regulatory Commission says the quarter inch crack was not all the way through the reactor wall and there’s no indication any radioactive material escaped.

 

NewsObserver: The repair will take place in a highly radioactive area and will require the use of robotics, said NRC spokesman Roger Hannah. He said repairs will involve scraping out corroded material and welding the area. [...] Water stress corrosion is a common form of degradation in nuclear plants, said David Lochbaum of the Union of Concerned Scientists. [...] “Impurities in the water can collect in tiny cracks formed in metal by stress,” he added. “These impurities, called corrosion, exacerbate stress factors accelerating the propagation of tiny cracks.”

 

WRAL (h/t Anonymous tips): According to information Duke filed with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Shearon Harris was taken offline last year for refueling, and ultrasonic tests of the reactor were taken at that time. A secondary review of those tests this week revealed the “primary water stress corrosion cracking” on a nozzle that overlaps a weld on the reactor head. “Initial evaluation indicates that the flaw is not through wall, and there is no evidence of leakage based on inspections performed on the top of the reactor vessel head during the spring 2012 refueling outage,” the NRC event report states.

WMT: Congressman Fred Upton has just finished a tour of the troubled Palisades Nuclear Power Plant in Covert. Rep. Upton says he’s very concerned about the safety at Palisades, especially after the latest incident. [...] Because it wasn’t a planned release, Palisades is under serious scrutiny at this time.

ABC57: Palisades Nuclear Plant shut down until further notice [...] Congressman Fred Upton is not sold on the safety at Palisades. [...] Congressman Upton did not say the plant will be shutting down. But he did say that all options are on the table.  Palisades says they may look at replacing the tank that is cracked.

WOOD TV8: Authorities say they’ve found the crack that led to “slightly radioactive water” spilling from the Palisades nuclear power plant into Lake Michigan. [...] The leak was in a 300,000-gallon tank used to hold water that floods and cools the nuclear reactor during refueling and in the event of a problem. The problem was a half-inch crack in the welding around one of nine nozzles in the tank, authorities said Monday. Three of those have been replaced and every weld and every nozzle is now being checked. The entire bottom of the tank is also being checked. That leaky tank sits right above the plant’s main control room. [...]

Burning ship had tonnes of radioactive material


Photo: DPA

Published: 17 May 2013

After a freighter went up in flames at the start of the month while carrying radioactive material into Hamburg’s harbour, it has emerged that the German port city receives such hazardous cargo up to seven times a month.

Fire fighters said they had only narrowly been able to prevent a catastrophe on May 1st when the freighter “Atlantic Cartier” caught fire – complete with its radioactive load.

Tens of thousands of people were gathered just a few hundred metres away to celebrate the Evangelical church day when the ship went up in dramatic flames.

Fire fighters were able to quickly identify the containers which had the radioactive cargo and remove them before anything worse happened. The authorities confirmed that the ship had been carrying around nine tonnes of the dangerous uranium hexafluoride, a toxic chemical used in the nuclear industry, as well as four tonnes of explosives, the Süddeutsche Zeitung newspaper reported.

The Green party forced the information into the open with a written question to the city government, local radio station NDR 90.3 reported.

“Hamburg just managed to scrape past a catastrophe on May 1st,” Anjes Tjarks, Green spokesman for harbour policy told the Süddeutsche Zeitung.

“It is a monstrosity that the government did not inform the public about this near-catastrophe of its own initiative. One has to speak of a cover-up attempt.”

Yet Frank Reschreiter, spokesman for Hamburg’s interior authority, said the dangerous cargo was known about – which was why the fire fighters knew to remove the relevant containers. Nothing dangerous leaked, he said.

Now the city government has admitted that radioactive material had been brought into the harbour on Atlantic Container Line ships 21 times in the past three months.

Concrete information about which ships were being used to take the radioactive substances, and which route they were taking, would not be revealed, Hamburg’s government said.

Most of the shipments were due for a uranium-enriching facility in Lingen, Lower Saxony, NDR 90.3 reported on Friday.

Global Rads: Order vs Chaos // BP vs Fukushima 05.11.13


Things are getting very precarious with nuclear reactors, power plants in many locations are having some pretty strange problems…rats, goldfish being smuggled in, employees failing drug tests etc. etc. etc. IMO, if you live near a reactor it’s high time to get involved with your local anti-nuclear / environmental groups, or if there aren’t any local groups then YOU need start one by uniting your community to take action against nuclear power. Then connect with groups in other areas, do flashmob email campaigns, get creative!  Remember, the UCC filings have great tools to get their attention with ~ large groups throwing flaming arrows is always quite effective.

You can also research successful measures groups have used in the past, start by writing your Senators, Governor, Congressman, NRC and anyone else who’s politically or financially connected to the power industry. Just DO something to take your power, your environment and your health back from radioactive contamination. And don’t believe it can’t be done…

In 1979 we ~ The Sunbelt Alliance ~ prevented a power plant from being built outside Tulsa, OK; by showing up in great numbers, two summer’s in a row. Attorneys like Daniel Sheehan (Citizens Hearing on Disclosure, Karen Silkwood) worked on the case, we got the media involved and we raised enough hell until we won. Now, 35 years later community’s all over the nation have SERIOUS problems brewing with outdated plants that need to be decommissioned NOW.

Hello0oo, these power plants are designed and built to produce the materials needed for nuclear weapons. Now, isn’t it clever how they’ve got you footing the bill, every month the hard earned money you give to the electric company pays for bombs that kill, maime and destroy! Think about…

Global Radiation Update for United We Strike Radio Marathon
May 11th, 2013

From fires to mysterious radioactive goldfish, nuke plants in the US & Europe have had some bizarre problems in the past few weeks. So the NRC is putting together a panel to determine the events leading to the death of 2 goldfish at Perry NPP on Ohio, while Fukushima continues to contaminate and decimate the Pacific Ocean endlessly.

CNBC: Nuclear power has taken a beating — Engulfed by ‘cauldron of events‘ — Staggering change from just a few years ago — Not many had forecast it would “all go wrong at once”: http://enenews.com/cnbc-nuclear-power…

When BP happened, a drastic effort was undertaken by scientists to form 5 panels and come up with 5 different plans for sealing the well. Too bad no one thought to do this for Fukushima. Maybe they are waiting for the reactors to start sinking from 100′s of tons of groundwater being pumped out of the reactor basements every day, or reactor 4 to fall apart, or an unstoppable fission chain reaction event, or…something.

Or maybe the international community wants to be able to place the blame squarely on Japan and Japan only, when things really get bad. Problem is, it’s the whole world’s problem, not just Japans.

UFO and Extra-Terresterial Disclosure — Part I


NOTE: Stephen Bassett’s done an outstanding job assembling expert testimony before a passionate and concerned panel of former Congress members. So far, the hearings have revealed an extraordinary depth of secrecy on behalf if the military, NSA, CIA, Majestic 12 and other covert government agency’s to keep the UFO subject at the highest levels of secrecy and the panels members appear to be shocked with much of what they’re hearing. You an bet they’ll be a major influence in bringing this issue out to the open for more hearings, it’s about time!

UFO and Extra-Terresterial Disclosure -- Part I

by Debbie West

 

Citizen Hearing on Disclosure Pressures U.S. to Join other Super Powers in Disclosure—Space Treaty to Ban Space-Based Weapons Next Step

 

HOUSTON, TX — April 29, 2013 — The Citizen Hearing on Disclosure scheduled April 29 through May 3, 2013 at the National Press Club in Washington DC reveals with certainty that the truth about extra-terrestrials and UFO’s has been hidden from the public. The real question is how? And why has this has been going on for so long? It is no accident that the US is fixated on ridiculous media reports while this event is happening. The media distraction has been effective for too long. Tired of the lies and deception, and awakening by the millions, nations and people across the globe are demanding the truth. The key message from all extra-terrestrial civilizations making contact with us is clear.  We are on a path of destruction of the earth and are being warned to stop before we destroy our home. This is a warning we must heed as we open our minds to the reality of disclosure and a universe full of life. Stopping space based weapons is the next step so earth can emerge peacefully into the galactic community.

In an effort to push disclosure on the US Government, the Citizen Hearing on Disclosure will present conclusive evidence that there is an extraterrestrial presence engaging the human race. The speakers including astronaut Edgar Mitchell, Dr. Steven Greer and Stanton Friedman are attempting to accomplish what the Congress has failed to do for forty-five years—seek out the facts surrounding the most important issue of this or any other time.

“The truth is that aliens are indeed visiting us and that they recognize us as a primitive, tribal, and war like species bent on endless warfare and our own destruction,” stated Stanton Friedman, one of 40 speakers at the upcoming Citizen Hearing on Disclosure. “We here on earth have developed technologies in nuclear physics, rocketry and radar that allow us boundless opportunities. But we have yet to evolve into an understanding that we are all earthlings and need to use this technology for the greater good and our own survival.” He further adds,” Candidly, other races observing earthlings would undoubtedly see us as a threat to their neighborhood.”

Space-based weapons have been a concern for decades as it prevents earth from participating in the galactic community in a peaceful way. Carol Rosin Executive Director of the Peace and Emergency Action Coalition for Earth who worked for many years with Warner Von Braun is pursuing signatures from all nations for the Outer Space Security and Development Treaty to ban space based weapons. The Honorable Paul Hellyer, former Minister of Defense, Canada, and another speaker at the Citizen Hearing on Disclosure says, “This Treaty is the most important document of our time.” This treaty changes the outdated and dangerous warfare paradigm mindset of the military industrial complex as it now exists and paves the way for earth to peacefully enter the Space Age. Rosin is also founder of the Institute for Security and Cooperation in Outer Space, and World Peace Ambassador for the International Association of Educators for World. Peace. She has testified before the U.S. Senate Arms Services Committee, the Congressional House Ways and Means Committee, and the U.S. President’s Commission on Space.

While other countries like China have opened some of their UFO files, so far the US has resisted. Since the crash at Roswell, many government files in the US have been classified and kept secret. Trillions of dollars are spent yet the public is not informed.

In Brazil, the disclosure of extra-terrestrial contact was officially started as a result of a similar citizen event which made a formal request to the Brazilian Ministry of Defense that all UFO secret archives be disclosed. On April 25, 2013, the release of documents was announced by the Brazilian Ministry of Defense.

Concurrently, our most courageous scientists and archaeologists are delving into the reality of extra-terrestrials not only in the present era, but dating back perhaps thousands—if not millions of years. Discoveries about our ancient past uncover a story of such magnitude that is at first hard to digest, but just like any dark secret, when the story unfolds, the truth sets us free.

Acknowledging and understanding contact with other civilizations involves totally changing our concept of history and our religious and scientific understanding of the universe. Many ask, where is the evidence that civilizations were here before us? Evidence now shows us that ancient civilizations like Atlantis existed 30,000 years ago as described by Edgar Cayce’s readings. These civilizations nearly destroyed the earth with weapons designed to change the climate and the cosmic structure around the earth.  Currently NASA is experimenting with their HAARP climate controlling technology. Recent reports show that NASA is also trying to bring planets and/or meteorites into earth’s atmosphere which can destroy not only our planet but much of our solar system. According to historians who understand ancient history, this must be stopped because it will destroy the earth.

Notably, the most recent and significant evidence is presented by the following researchers and historians:

 

 

The Vatican is contemplating disclosure for obvious reasons; because our current religious paradigm is incongruent with extra-terrestrial life. When we compare ancient Sumerian text with the Christian bible as shown by Erich von Daniken’s historical accounts, interaction with alien races is corroborated. What is fascinating is that we don’t need to overthrow religion to accept these views. We just need to follow the doctrine as taught by these ancient civilizations of unity and love and peace among all peoples known as The Law of One. This information, found in the Dead Sea Scrolls was taught by the Essenes. Biblical texts have been manipulated and important revelations were omitted that distorts our understanding of spiritual evolution and immortality.

Deborah West writes a regular column for The New Era Times (affiliated with the Edgar Cayce Center in Houston, Texas) called Lost Knowledge where she covers metaphysical topics including new energy, book and film reviews, and spiritual and physical wellness.

End The Lie with Madison Ruppert
Interview date April 19th, 2013
Air date April 22nd, 2013

After this interview aired, 2 articles of significant importance came out:

Stand aside, privacy-rights protectionists. The bombings in Boston prove the nation needs to change how it interprets the Constitution to give government greater power to protect citizens, New York Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg said.

“The people who are worried about privacy have a legitimate worry,” Mr. Bloomberg said in a Tuesday press conference reported by the Politicker. “But we live in a complex world where you’re going to have to have a level of security greater than you did back in the olden days, if you will. And our laws and our interpretation of the Constitution, I think, have to change.”

Specifically, Mr. Bloomberg said the nation needed more surveillance and the likes of more magnetometers in schools.

“We have to understand that in the world going forward, we’re going to have more cameras and that kind of stuff,” he said in Politicker, talking of the need for greater latitude for courts to grant powers to law enforcement and government to provide security.

And, as I stated in this interview, rads increase now gets blamed on NORTH KOREA (which is complete BS, the nuke test was underground, perhaps CTBT forgot their initial press release about this? This is from the “rat chewed through the electrical cable” problem which shut down cooling at Fuku for almost 5 days…and it’s happened twice since. It doesn’t take 55 days for the detection to be made, it’s known within HOURS)

The CTBTO’s radionuclide network has made a significant detection of radioactive noble gases that could be attributed to the nuclear test announced by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) on 12 February 2013.
The detection was made at the radionuclide station in Takasaki, Japan, located at around 1,000 kilometres, or 620 miles, from the DPRK test site. Lower levels were picked up at another station in Ussuriysk, Russia. Two radioactive isotopes of the noble gas xenon were identified, xenon-131m and xenon-133, which provide reliable information on the nuclear nature of the source.
The ratio of the detected xenon isotopes is consistent with a nuclear fission event occurring more than 50 days before the detection (nuclear fission can occur in both nuclear explosions and nuclear energy production). This coincides very well with announced nuclear test by the DPRK that occurred on 12 February 2013, 55 days before the measurement. CTBTO radionuclide expert Mika Nikkinen said: “We are in the process of eliminating other possible sources that could explain the observations; the radionuclides could have come from a nuclear reactor or other nuclear activity under certain specific conditions, but so far we do not have information on such a release.”
On 12 February, the DPRK event was detected immediately, reliably and precisely by 94seismic stations and two infrasound stations of the CTBTO’s International Monitoring System. The first data were made available to CTBTO Member States in little more than one hour, and before the DPRK announced that it had conducted a nuclear test.

Obama Approves Raising Permissible Levels of Nuclear Radiation in Drinking Water. Civilian Cancer Deaths Expected to Skyrocket


Rollback in Nuclear Radiation Cleanup

Civilian Cancer Deaths Expected to Skyrocket Following Radiological Incidents

by Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER)

The White House has given final approval for dramatically raising permissible radioactive levels in drinking water and soil following “radiological incidents,” such as nuclear power-plant accidents and dirty bombs. The final version, slated for Federal Register publication as soon as today, is a win for the nuclear industry which seeks what its proponents call a “new normal” for radiation exposure among the U.S population, according Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER).

Issued by the Environmental Protection Agency, the radiation guides (called Protective Action Guides or PAGs) allow cleanup many times more lax than anything EPA has ever before accepted. These guides govern evacuations, shelter-in-place orders, food restrictions and other actions following a wide range of “radiological emergencies.” The Obama administration blocked a version of these PAGs from going into effect during its first days in office. The version given approval late last Friday is substantially similar to those proposed under Bush but duck some of the most controversial aspects:

In soil, the PAGs allow long-term public exposure to radiation in amounts as high as 2,000 millirems. This would, in effect, increase a longstanding 1 in 10,000 person cancer rate to a rate of 1 in 23 persons exposed over a 30-year period;

  • In water, the PAGs punt on an exact new standard and EPA “continues to seek input on this.” But the thrust of the PAGs is to give on-site authorities much greater “flexibility” in setting aside established limits; and
  • Resolves an internal fight inside EPA between nuclear versus public health specialists in favor of the former. The PAGs are the product of Gina McCarthy, the assistant administrator for air and radiation whose nomination to serve as EPA Administrator is taken up this week by the Senate.
  • Despite the years-long internal fight, this is the first public official display of these guides. This takes place as Japan grapples with these same issues in the two years following its Fukushima nuclear disaster.

“This is a public health policy only Dr. Strangelove could embrace. If this typifies the environmental leadership we can expect from Ms. McCarthy, then EPA is in for a long, dirty slog,” stated PEER Executive Director Jeff Ruch, noting that the EPA package lacks a cogent rationale, is largely impenetrable and hinges on a series of euphemistic “weasel words.”

“No compelling justification is offered for increasing the cancer deaths of Americans innocently exposed to corporate miscalculations several hundred-fold.”

Reportedly, the PAGs had been approved last fall but their publication was held until after the presidential election. The rationale for timing their release right before McCarthy’s confirmation hearing is unclear.

Since the PAGs guide agency decision-making and do not formally set standards or repeal statutory requirements, such as the Safe Drinking Water Act and Superfund, they will go into full effect following a short public comment period. Nonetheless, the PAGs will likely determine what actions take place on the ground in the days, weeks, months and, in some cases, years following a radiological emergency.
