Tema: Accidente nuclear de Fukushima en Japón

Saludos acojonados. Gracias ahora a Unicornio por esa traducción.

Resumo y luego trato de poner unos cuantos links de los muchos posibles.

No dejan de acumularse y confirmarse indicios negativos en Japón, así como los aumentos de rad. en EEUU y Canadá debido a ello y a sus propios reactores (problemas de seguridad y fugas en planta cercana a NY, Miami, Carolina N, más las ya citadas en post anteriores, más el riesgo aún mantenido en la gran cuenca Missouri-Mississippi).

Además, DEBIDO AL TERREMOTO QUE AFECTÓ A LA COSTA E HACE 2 DÍAS, LA PROBLEMÍTICA CENTRAL DE VIRGINIA, North Anna, CON 2 REACTORES, SIGUE CON PROBLEMAS tras el seísmo:

* De inmediato tuvieron que recurrir ambos a la refrigeración diésel de apoyo aun fallando una de las 4 bombas.

* AL DÍA DESPUÉS SE VIERON OBLIGADOS A VENTILAR IMPORTANTE CANTIDAD DE VAPOR DE LA VASIJA PARA EVITAR UNA EXPLOS. DE HIDRÓGENO COMO EN FUKUSH. (hay fotos y vídeos)

*Esta misma tarde del 25 se reporta que el edificio puede haber tenido problemas en su estructura, para lo cual requiere ahora urgentes y complicadas inspecciones.

* Sospechan que la presa que le provee de agua pueda tener daño y fuga al perder hoy más nivel del agua del normal.

* El mamotreto en cuestión está situado en plena línea de falla y además desde los años 90 habían retirado los sismógrafos de su entorno por racaneo de presupuesto (para qué tanto gasto…)

* Reconocen que estaba preparada para soportar un tembleque de hasta 5,9º. Justo lo que hubo ahora. ¿QUÉ SERÍ ENTONCES CUANDO EN CIERTAS ZONAS DE RIESGO DE MÍS DE 7 Y 8º COMO LAS DE CALIFORNIA Y ESPECIALMENTE LAS DE LA PELIGROSA Y POTENTÍSIMA FALLA DEL MISSISSIPI –llamada de Nuevo Madrid, que se está reactivando y en tiempos dañó al territorio de 27 !!! estados? DONDE HAY NADA MENOS QUE 17 NUCLES?. (ya reconocen pánico al respecto; hay otros links sobre ello)

* Sin haberse recuperado del seísmo, la citada de Virginia PARECE QUE RECIBIRÍ EL DOMINGO LA VISITA DEL HURACÍN IRENE, POR LO QUE INSPIRA DE TODO MENOS CONFIANZA, COMO TAMBIÉN LA DE CAROLINA DEL N, QUE ESTABA EN INSPECCIÓN TAMBIÉN POR IMPORTANTE FUGA AL RÍO CONNECTICUT (ESTA SERÍ LA 1ª QUE VISITE DICHO HURACÍN).

CONSIDERANDO QUE INCLUSO EN NY SE PREPARAN PARA POSIBLES APAGONES POR EL HURACÍN, HABRÍ QUE VER CÓMO RESPONDE LA CITADA CONFLICTIVA PLANTA DE NY, de la que hace tiempo vienen cuestionando que siga en funcionamiento). Estamos como queremos…

MÍS NOS VALE QUE NO PASE NADA GORDO PORQUE SI NO, EN 4 DÍAS NOS LLEGARÍA AQUÍ LA MIERDA.



Les recomiendo de nuevo que consulten y peguen aquí de las webs que ya he recomendado. Añadiendo otra muy buena de otro experto en el tema: http://enformable.com/http://enenews.com/http://ex-skf.blogspot.com/ (recomendadas por el propio físico Nuc Arnold Gundersen, quien fue vicepresidente de la NRC –el CSN de aquí- y que viene teniendo un honesto papel informador respecto a Fukushima. Por cierto, debido a esa honestidad da miedo por su salud: como otros críticos relevantes, como Matt Simmons, el mejor experto en hidrocarburos de EEUU apareció sospechosamente muerto en su casa tras insistir denunciando las causas y gestión del gran vertido del G de México del pasado año. La honestidad en esa materia no es bien recibida.

Esto fue publicado en Fukushima-Diary el 25 de agosto:
Últimas noticias: el tsunami fue alertado hace 3 años
Tepco sabía que un Tsunami de más de 10 metros podía golpear la planta nuclear de Fukushima, desde hace 3 años.
La planta nuclear de Fukushima sólo puede soportar un tsunami de una altura de 5,7 m, por lo que Tepco comentó que este accidente se debió a que estaba "más allá de lo estimado". OIEA también se refirió así.
Sin embargo, la Sociedad Japonesa de ingeniería civil, hace 3 años, informó que tsunamis de 10m de altura podía golpear la planta. El vice presidente de Tepco era consciente del riesgo, comentan.
Después de haber conocido este hecho hace 3 años, Tepco no tomó ninguna medida para reforzar la planta, y finalmente presentó un informe "cuatro días" antes de 3/11.
Esto no es para probar que las plantas nucleares son seguras si se diseñan adecuadamente.
Esto demuestra que los seres humanos son demasiado estúpidos para manejar una caldera enorme.

El legado de un presidente

Lo prometió y lo cumplió. Naoto Kan, Primer Ministro de Japón, ha dimitido tras la catástrofe de Fukusima, que todavía sigue fuera de control. En la actualidad, la mayoría de las personas en Japón se muestran preocupadas por los impactos de la energía nuclear, no les falta razón, y ese es uno de los motivos por el que sólo 14 de los 54 reactores nucleares que tienen están funcionando.

http://enenews.com/local-paper-asks-north-anna-safe-quake-damage-nuclear-reactors-underground-piping-seismic-turbine-buildingLocal paper asks “Is North Anna safe?” Did quake damage nuclear reactors or underground piping?


August 31st, 2011


Checking North Anna, Free Lance-Star, August 31, 2011:

Is North Anna safe?

[...] Now the question is, did the quake damage the nuclear reactors, underground piping, or critical electrical equipment? What’s more, did the temblor’s intensity exceed North Anna’s design?


It’s not possible, with a multi-ton reactor, to simply crawl under the hood to check for damage. [...]


After Fukushima, but before the recent East Coast quake, the NRC began a review of U.S. nuclear plants and found a few “discrepancies” at North Anna including:

• Portions of the water and gaseous suppression systems and hose stations are not seismically designed.
• A fire-pump storage area is non-seismic.
• Seismically designed floodwalls are located in the non-seismic turbine building.

Nuclear Expert: Quake-hit Virginia nuke plant should be distributing bottled water to nearby residents — Pipes under North Anna are potentially a grave public danger


August 30th, 2011

[...] On Monday, August 29, the federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission announced that the quake may, in fact, have produced force that exceeded the North Anna plant’s specifications and that the Commission is sending a special Augmented Inspection Team to assess the damage.


“Initial reviews determined the plant may have exceeded the ground motion for which it was designed,” says the release, which also assures that “no significant damage to safety systems has been identified.” [...]


[The] newly arrived government inspectors won’t be conducting their own tests of the miles of underground pipes. And the assumption that those pipes didn’t sustain damage during the earthquake, which knocked two Louisa County schools out of commission and caused cracks in the Washington Monument some 90 miles away, might be laughable to [Paul Gunter, director of a nonprofit group called Beyond Nuclear] if he weren’t convinced of potentially grave public danger. [...]

More from Gunther:

• “Central to the issue is miles of buried pipe under the plant that carry radioactive water.”
• “Here’s an industry that has hidden these leaks that is now self-reporting and overseeing itself to the NRC.” (¿que las industrias no informan debidamente de sus fugas? lo mismito que aquí, oiga…)
• “How can an uninspectable, inaccessible buried pipe have integrity?”
• “Given the industry history and what’s been done before, Dominion should be distributing bottled water to the town of Mineral and to the residents of Lake Anna [...] Indefinitely.”

Fukushima media coverage ‘may be harmful’, New Scientist by Andy Coghlan, August 30, 2011:

Alarmist predictions that the long-term health effects of the Fukushima nuclear accident in Japan will be worse than those following Chernobyl in 1986 are likely to aggravate harmful psychological effects of the incident. (o sea, que la larga lista de graves enfermedades que se han multiplicado son psicológicas...) That was the warning heard at an international conference on radiation research in Warsaw, Poland, this week.
One report, in UK newspaper The Independent, quoted a scientist who predicted more than a million would die, and that the prolonged release of radioactivity from Fukushima would make health effects worse than those from the sudden release experienced at the Chernobyl nuclear reactor in Ukraine.
“We’ve got to stop these sorts of reports coming out, because they are really upsetting the Japanese population,” says Gerry Thomas at Imperial College London, who is attending the meeting. “The media has a hell of a lot of responsibility here, because the worst post-Chernobyl effects were the psychological consequences and this shouldn’t happen again.” [...]

Fukushima Is Continually Blasting All Of Us With High Levels Of Cesium, Strontium And Plutonium And Will Slowly Kill Millions For Years To Come :
Fukushima Is Continually Blasting All Of Us With High Levels Of Cesium, Strontium And Plutonium And Will Slowly Kill Millions For Years To Come



End Of The American Dream August 31, 2011
Fukushima is now far and away the worst nuclear disaster in all of human history. Chernobyl was a Sunday picnic compared to Fukushima and the amount of cesium-137 released at Fukushima this year so far is equivalent to 168 Hiroshima bombs.
The crisis at Fukushima is far, far worse than you have been told. We are talking about multiple self-sustaining nuclear meltdowns that will not be fully contained for years.
In an attempt to keep people calm, authorities in Japan (and around the rest of the world as well) have lied and lied and lied. Over the months that have passed since the disaster began, small bits of the truth have slowly started to come out.
Authorities are finally admitting that the area immediately surrounding Fukushima will be uninhabitable indefinitely, and they are finally admitting that the amount of radioactive material that has been released is far higher than initially reported. It is going to take the Japanese years to fully contain this problem.
Meanwhile, Fukushima will continue to blast all of us with high levels of cesium, strontium and plutonium and will slowly kill millions of people around the globe for years to come.
These days, the mainstream media does not talk about Fukushima much. The reality is that there have been a whole lot of other disasters for them to talk about.
But just because Fukushima is a nightmare that is playing out in very slow motion does not mean that it does not deserve our full attention.
To get an idea of just how nightmarish Fukushima has turned out to be, just consider the words of nuclear expert Steven C. Jones….

By way of comparison, the Chernobyl nuclear disaster that occured in 1986 in the Ukraine, Russia- heretofore the worst nuclear disaster on record- burned for 10 days and cumulatively killed an estimated 1 million people worldwide. The Fukushima, Japan nuclear disaster has 5 nuclear reactors burning, 2 in partial meltdown and 3 in full meltdown- and they’ve ALL been uncontrollably burning since March 11th. Its been over 3 months and this nuclear disaster remains completely out of control. In fact, some industry estimates cite the possibility that these meltdowns will be contained (optimistically) in 1-3 years, at the very earliest.
The amount and intensity of the radioactive fallout from this particular nuclear disaster will assuredly kill hundreds of millions of people worldwide over time. Japan itself is, of course, the epicenter of this radioactive contamination that has spread out from these reactors.

Keep in mind that radioactivity from the Chernobyl disaster deeply contaminated 77,000 square miles.
So if Fukushima is many times worse, what does that mean for us?
Just recently, authorities in Japan confessed that the amount of cesium-137 released by Fukushima is equivalent to 168 of the nuclear bombs that were dropped on Hiroshima. The following is a brief excerpt from a recent article in the Telegraph….

Japan’s government estimates the amount of radioactive caesium-137 released by the Fukushima nuclear disaster so far is equal to that of 168 Hiroshima bombs.

I am no nuclear expert, but shortly after the Fukushima disaster began I postulated that much of northern Japan would be rendered uninhabitable by all of this radiation.
Pure Effect Water Filters – Safeguard Your Drinking Water From Fluoride And Radiation!(Ad)
Well, it turns out that authorities in Japan have finally reached the same conclusion. According to the New York Times, the Japanese government is acknowledging that large areas around the Fukushima nuclear facility may be uninhabitable for decades….

Broad areas around the stricken Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant could soon be declared uninhabitable, perhaps for decades, after a government survey found radioactive contamination that far exceeded safe levels, several major media outlets said Monday.

So what is the big deal?
Unfortunately, most people do not have any concept of just how dangerous nuclear contamination can be.
At this point, the vast majority of people living in the northern hemisphere have been exposed to radioactive material from Fukushima.
We can’t see them, but radioactive particles can do an insane amount of damage. We can breathe them in, we can eat them in our food and we can even absorb them through our skin. Once trapped inside our bodies, these particles can slowly “bake” us for years and years. The following is from an opinion piece by Helen Caldicott in the Guardian….

Internal radiation, on the other hand, emanates from radioactive elements which enter the body by inhalation, ingestion, or skin absorption. Hazardous radionuclides such as iodine-131, caesium 137, and other isotopes currently being released in the sea and air around Fukushima bio-concentrate at each step of various food chains (for example into algae, crustaceans, small fish, bigger fish, then humans; or soil, grass, cow’s meat and milk, then humans). [2] After they enter the body, these elements – called internal emitters – migrate to specific organs such as the thyroid, liver, bone, and brain, where they continuously irradiate small volumes of cells with high doses of alpha, beta and/or gamma radiation, and over many years, can induce uncontrolled cell replication – that is, cancer. Further, many of the nuclides remain radioactive in the environment for generations, and ultimately will cause increased incidences of cancer and genetic diseases over time.

One of the most dangerous radioactive elements being released at Fukushima is strontium. Strontium accumulates in the bones and in the teeth. It is also known to cause cancer in humans.
It has been estimated that approximately 80 percent of the strontium that was released during the Chernobyl nuclear disaster entered the food cycle.
Considering the vast amount of strontium that has been released at Fukushima, that is a very frightening statistic.
The following is what NHK World recently had to say about the levels of strontium that are being found around Fukushima….

The utility detected up to 480 becquerels of radioactive strontium 90 per kilogram of soil. That’s about 100 times higher than the maximum reading recorded in Fukushima Prefecture following atmospheric nuclear tests carried out by foreign countries during the Cold War era.
TEPCO reported detecting 2,800 becquerels of strontium 89 per kilogram of soil at the same location.

Once you absorb strontium, it will stay in your bones for the rest of your life. Just consider what Dr. Russell Blaylock recently told Newsmax….

When we look at Chernobyl, most of West Germany was heavily contaminated. Norway, Sweden. Hungary was terribly contaminated. The radiation was taken up into the plants. The food was radioactive. They took the milk and turned it into cheese. The cheese was radioactive.
That’s the big danger, the crops in this country being contaminated, the milk in particular, with Strontium 90. That radiation is incorporated into the bones and stays for a lifetime.

So would you like to have radioactive material in your bones that affects your health for the rest of your life?
It may have already happened to you and you wouldn’t even know it.
Other deadly radioactive elements that are being released at high levels at Fukushima include iodine, cesium, uranium and plutonium. Large amounts of these radioactive particles have already been absorbed in the soil and in the water in the United States.
Large amounts of these radioactive particles have also entered our food chain.
As the years go by, a whole lot of Americans are going to get sick and die and they will never even know that it was Fukushima that caused it.
Remember, just because you cannot see these radioactive particles does not mean that they aren’t incredibly deadly. Just check out what nuclear expert Steven C. Jones recently had to say about plutonium….

To give one an example of how lethal radiation is, one pound of plutonium evenly distributed into everyone’s lungs would kill every man, woman and child on Earth. There are literally “tons” of radioactive plutonium (among other radioactive elements) that have been released into the air and ocean environments since March 11th. Another critical fact to remember is that radioactive plutonium, for example, remains lethal (killing life) for thousands years as it has a half-life of 24,000 years. Some other radioactive elements such as uranium have a half-life of 4.47 billion years.

That is the scary thing with many of these radioactive elements. Now that they have been released, many of them will be with us for as long as we live, for as long as our children live and for as long as our grandchildren live.
Yes, things are much worse than you have been told.
Up until now, the Japanese government has insisted that those living outside the 20 kilometer exclusion zone are safe.
But is that really the case?
According to Reuters, Greenpeace has found incredibly high levels of radiation at schools up to 60 km away…..

Greenpeace said on Monday that schools and surrounding areas located 60 km (38 miles) from Japan’s tsunami-hit nuclear power plant were unsafe for children, showing radiation readings as much as 70 times internationally accepted levels.

In addition, a recent Japan Times article noted that high levels of cesium have been discovered at 42 incineration plants in seven different prefectures in Japan….

High levels of cesium isotopes are cropping up in dust at 42 incineration plants in seven prefectures, including Chiba and Iwate, an Environment Ministry survey of the Kanto and Tohoku regions shows.

Also, a recent article in the Wall Street Journal stated that incredibly high levels of cesium-137 have been found up to 100 km away from the Fukushima nuclear facility….

The first comprehensive survey of soil contamination from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant showed that 33 locations spread over a wide area have been contaminated with long-lasting radioactive cesium, the government said Tuesday.
The survey of 2,200 locations within a 100-kilometer (62-mile) radius of the crippled plant found that those locations had cesium-137 in excess of 1.48 million becquerels per square meter, the level set by the Soviet Union for forced resettlement after the 1986 Chernobyl disaster, Japanese authorities said.

Remember that Tokyo is only about 250 km away from the Fukushima nuclear facility.
So what happens if high levels of cesium start showing up in Tokyo?
According to some sources, things have already gotten very serious in Tokyo.
Dr. Chris Busby recently traveled to Japan with some very sophisticated testing equipment and found one sample in Tokyo that had levels of radioactivity that were higher than the exclusion zone surrounding Chernobyl during that nuclear disaster.
But things are much worse for those living much closer to Fukushima. High levels of cesium have been detected in the urine and in the breast milk of those living in the region surrounding the facility. All over the area there are reports of people coming down with the symptoms of radiation sickness.
The truth is that the “evacuation area” should be far, far larger than it is now. Just consider what Mike Adams of Natural News recently had to say about what recent tests have shown….

One soil sample taking 25 kilometers away from Fukushima showed Cesium-137 exceeding 5 million becquerels per square meter. This level, of course, makes it uninhabitable by humans, yet both the Japanese and U.S. governments continue to downplay the whole event, assuring their sheeple that there’s nothing to worry about. By their logic, since all the people are sheeple anyway, as long as the area is safe enough for sheep, it’s also safe enough for the human population.

A lot of people in Japan are going to die, and frustrations are rising. According to an article in The Independent, a lot of Japanese feel totally abandoned by their government at this point….

It is the fate of people outside the evacuation zones, however, that causes the most bitter controversy. Parents in Fukushima City, 63km from the plant, have banded together to demand that the government do more to protect about 100,000 children. Schools have banned soccer and other outdoor sports. Windows are kept closed. “We’ve just been left to fend for ourselves,” says Machiko Sato, a grandmother who lives in the city. “It makes me so angry.”

But just because you don’t live in Japan does not mean that you are not in danger. The Fukushima nuclear facility sits right on the Pacific Ocean. When nuclear material gets released into the air at Fukushima, the first time much of it will encounter land is when it reaches the United States.
Also, thousands upon thousands upon thousands of tons of highly radioactive water has been released into the Pacific Ocean at Fukushima.
What this is going to do to our oceans nobody knows for sure. But according to the Los Angeles Times, the seawater near Fukushima has been found to be incredibly radioactive….

Tokyo Electric Power Co. had said Tuesday that it had found iodine-131 at 7.5 million times the legal limit in a seawater sample taken near the facility, and government officials instituted a health limit for radioactivity in fish. Other samples were found to contain radioactive cesium at 1.1 million times the legal limit.

All of this radioactive water is going to circulate all over the globe. It is going to be a nightmare that is never going to end.
Just because the mainstream media is not talking much about all of this radiation does not mean that it is not affecting the United States….

*Radiation from Fukushima has been detected in seaweed in Puget Sound.
*Radiation from Fukushima has been detected in the drinking water in numerous states.
*Radiation from Fukushima has been discovered in milk in numerous states.
*Very high levels of radiation continue to be detected in rainwater in the northwest United States.
This is a slow motion nightmare that is going to play out for years and years.
Some nuclear experts claim that it could be up to 50 or 100 years before any of the nuclear material at the Fukushima complex will cool down enough to be removed from the facility.

Right now there is no viable solution to what is going on at Fukushima, so it will continue to blast all of us with high levels of radiation and will slowly kill millions of people around the globe for years to come.
Former nuclear industry insider Arnold Gundersen recently put it this way….

“With Three Mile Island and Chernobyl, and now with Fukushima, you can pinpoint the exact day and time they started,” he said, “But they never end.”

This is a nightmare that will be with us for the rest of our lives. Millions are going to get sick and untold numbers of people are going to slowly die.

Independent: Why Fukushima is worse than Chernobyl; “Now the truth is coming out” — 72,000 times worse than Hiroshima & 1 million+ cancer deaths, says professor



Why the Fukushima disaster is worse than Chernobyl, Independent, August 29, 2011:
Japan has been slow to admit the scale of the meltdown. But now the truth is coming out. David McNeill reports from Soma City

[T]he triple meltdown [...] has elevated Japan into unknown, and unknowable, terrain. Across the northeast, millions of people are living with its consequences and searching for a consensus on a safe radiation level that does not exist. [...]
Some scientists say Fukushima is worse than the 1986 Chernobyl accident [...]
[M]any experts warn that the crisis is just beginning. [...]
Some scientists predict that one million lives will be lost to cancer. [...]

Chris Busby, a professor at the University of Ulster:

• “[Busby] said the disaster would result in more than 1 million deaths. ‘Fukushima is still boiling its radionuclides all over Japan [...] Chernobyl went up in one go. So Fukushima is worse.’”
• “Professor Busby says the release is at least 72.000 times worse than Hiroshima.”

Professor Tim Mousseau, a biological scientist who has spent more than a decade researching the genetic impact of radiation around Chernobyl:

• “[Mousseau] worries that many people in Fukushima are ‘burying their heads in the sand.’”
• “His Chernobyl research concluded that biodiversity and the numbers of insects and spiders had shrunk inside the irradiated zone, and the bird population showed evidence of genetic defects, including smaller brain sizes.”
• “[T]here are very likely to be very significant long-term health impact from prolonged exposure.”

Japan is forcing students to eat food that is contaminated with radiation despite objections from parents causing protests from a Japanese journalist.

As evidence continues to emerge there is widespread nuclear radiation contamination in Japanese food supply government officials exhibit their ignorance toward the problem by pretending there is no crisis.
Japanese schools are forcing students to eat radioactive food, among other unspeakable actions, which can be called nothing less than a crime against humanity.
Japanese officials know there is widespread contamination in everything from soil and sewage to tea and beef and rice and mushrooms. These are facts which test after test show can not be ignored.
Even when children plea for help directly to the government their cries are ignored, which can be interpreted as nothing less than the government telling the population to go fuck themselves because the agenda of the globalist corpocracy is more important than something as insignificant as the value of human life.

Fukushima kids take case to Tokyo, but get no satisfaction

August 18, 2011
They came looking for answers, and left feeling brushed off.
More than five months have passed since the Great East Japan Earthquake crippled the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant on March 11, and children in disaster-hit Fukushima Prefecture are desperate to get their lives back to normal. They took their case to the central government on Aug. 17 and were far from satisfied with the results.
Four children from the prefecture, all from elementary and junior high schools, visited the First Members’ Office Building of the Lower House in the capital’s Chiyoda Ward.
Directly addressing government officials tasked with handling the crisis and bureaucrats in the education ministry, the children spoke about the hardships they have endured since the onset of the crisis.

Desastre de Fukushima
Puede que los residentes no vuelvan a sus hogares por causa de la radiación (...puede..? Era ya seguro desde el principio y no en décadas sino MILLONES DE AÑOS donde haya plutonio y unos 300 donde haya Cs o Sr)

Justin McCurry The Guardian

Traducido del inglés para Rebelión por Carlos Valladares

El gobierno japonés va a reconocer por primera vez que los niveles de radiación serán demasiado altos para permitir a los refugiados volver a sus hogares.

Según informan medios de comunicación japoneses, se va a comunicar a los residentes que viven cerca de la damnificada central nuclear de Fukushima que es posible que sus hogares no puedan volver a ser habitables durante decenios.
Se espera que el primer ministro japonés, Naoto Kan, visite el área este próximo fin de semana para comunicar a los evacuados que no podrán volver a sus casas, ni siquiera en el caso de que los trabajos para estabilizar los reactores dañados concluyan con éxito.
El comunicado de Kan será el primer reconocimiento oficial de que la radiación sufrida por las áreas cercanas a la planta puede provocar un peligro extremo para sus habitantes al menos durante una generación, lo que significaría en la práctica que una parte de ellos nunca más volvería allí.
Una fuente cercana al gobierno japonés, en declaraciones recogidas por los medios locales, ha revelado que puede que se de el caso de que se cierre la zona por “varios decenios”. Nuevos informes muestran que se dan niveles de radiación peligrosos fuera del área de exclusión de 20 km., aumentando la posibilidad de que ciudades enteras sean declaradas no habitables.
La zona de exclusión se impuso tras una serie de explosiones de hidrógeno en la central tras el terremoto y el tsunami de Marzo.
El gobierno se había planteado el levantamiento de la orden de evacuación y por tanto permitir que 80.000 personas volvieran a sus casas dentro de la zona de exclusión una vez que se hubieran controlado los reactores. Asimismo varios miles de personas más que vivían esparcidas en asentamientos fuera del área de exclusión han tenido que trasladarse forzosamente.
Sin embargo, en un informe emitido el pasado fin de semana por el Ministerio de Ciencia se hacía un proyección que establecía que la radiación acumulada en un año en 22 de los 50 puntos estudiados dentro de la zona de exclusión se elevaría a más de 100 milisieverts 1 , una cifra cinco veces más alta que el nivel máximo de seguridad recomendado por la Comisión Internacional de Protección Radiológica. “No podemos descartar la posibilidad de que en algunas áreas los residentes no puedan volver a sus casas por un largo periodo”, declaraba Yukio Edano, secretario jefe del gabinete y portavoz del gobierno durante el desastre. “Lo sentimos mucho”.
Edano se negó a decir qué zonas estaban en la lista negra o por cuánto tiempo permanecerían inhabitables, añadiendo que se tomaría una decisión tras realizar los test de radiación que fueran pertinentes.
El gobierno tiene que decidir todavía cómo compensar a a los miles de residentes y a los dueños de negocios que se verán forzados a iniciar una nueva vida en otro lugar. El gobierno ha dado a entender que podría comprar o alquilar las tierras de los residentes de las áreas afectadas, aunque no ha descartado intentar descontaminarlas.
Parece que las localidades de Futaba y Okuma, situadas a poco más de 3 km de la central de Fukushima, estarán en la lista negra. La dosis de radiación acumulada anual en un distrito de Okuma se ha estimado en 508 milisieverts, la cual según los expertos es lo suficientemente alta para incrementar el riesgo de cáncer. Se permitirá a los residentes de más de 300 viviendas de ambas localidades volver a sus hogares para recoger sus enseres. Será la primera vez que puedan ir a sus casas desde la fusión de los reactores de la central.
La compañía que gestiona la central, Tokyo Electric Power, está trabajando para dejar los tres reactores afectados y las cuatro piscinas de combustible gastado recalentadas en un estado más seguro llamado “cierre en frío” para mediados de Enero.
Estimaciones hechas por la compañía la semana pasada señalaban que las fugas de los tres reactores habían descendido de manera significativa durante el mes pasado.
Pero los signos de mejoría de la central se han empañado por la extensión de la contaminación del suelo, los árboles, las carreteras y las tierras de cultivo.
Los expertos dicen que aunque se pueden disminuir los riesgos contra la salud con medidas como la eliminación de las capas superficiales de suelo, determinados grupos vulnerables tales como niños y embarazadas deben evitar el más mínimo contacto.
“Cualquier exposición a la radiación supondría un riesgo sanitario por pequeño que fuera”, dijo a Asociated Press Hiroaki Koide, especialista en radiación de la universidad de Kyoto. “No existe una dosis segura”.
Cualquier reconocimiento por parte del gobierno de que los residentes no van a poder volver a sus hogares se va a mirar con lupa.
Siguen las sospechas de que, en privado, las autoridades sabían de la gravedad de la situación desde hacía meses. En Abril, Kenichi Matsumoto, un alto consejero del gabinete, reveló unas declaraciones de Kan en las que éste decía que la gente no podría vivir cerca de la central por un periodo de “10 a 20 años”. Matsumoto lo desmintió poco después afirmando que las declaraciones habían sido suyas.

In another indication of the power of last week’s magnitude-5.8 earthquake, officials at North Anna Power Station said yesterday that 25 of 27 vertical steel casks that hold highly radioactive spent fuel shifted on their pads.
Richard Zuercher, spokesman for Dominion power’s nuclear operations, said none is leaking, all are intact, and there is no danger to the public or plant employees.
“The earthquake did move, slightly, some of the dry storage casks on the pad,” he said. The steel casks, which weigh up to 115 tons when loaded, shifted between an inch and 4 inches.
“We’re evaluating whether we need to move them back,” Zuercher said. [...]

In May, the federal government simulated an earthquake so massive, it killed 100,000 Midwesterners instantly, and forced more than 7 million people out of their homes.

Feds Allowing Tritium Radiation Catastrophe Cover Up At North Anna VA Nuclear Plant? :
Feds Allowing Tritium Radiation Catastrophe Cover Up At North Anna VA Nuclear Plant?

Posted by Alexander Higgins - August 31, 2011Nuclear industry watchdogs warn the North Anna nuclear plant may be leaking radioactive tritium due to damage in underground pipes from the Virginia earthquake.

On August 24th, a 5.8 earthquake struck Mineral Virginia which sent shock waves all over the eastern seaboard being felt from Colorado to Massachusetts, from South Carolina to Ontario Canada, after which the media was silent on the fate of the North Anna nuclear plant which is located at the epicenter of the quake.
The quake caused damage over hundred miles away, most notably cracking the Washington Monument, and took both of the reactors at the North Anna plant offline due to the earthquake cutting off the electricity needed to cool the nuclear reactors. The loss of electricity due to the earthquake caused the Fukushima nuclear meltdown which raised fears the North Anna plant could suffer a similar fate.
However officials quoted the plant owner as saying the plant was operating normally on backup generators. We then learned that one of the four generators at the plant failed within minutes of being activated.
That was followed by assurances that no radiation was leaked from the plant even as the plant operator admitted the next day they were forced to vent steam from the reactor to prevent a Fukushima style “hydrogen” explosion at the reactor. While officials still asserted the plant was operating safely it begged the question of why the reactor needed to vent steam if the reactor was indeed being properly cooled.
The operator then admitted that radiation had in fact been leaked from the plant, but downplayed the leakage by saying the amount was miniscule and was inline with normal operations, even though the plant was shut down and was not be ran under “normal operation” procedures.
The dam at the nuclear plant has also been classified as a high-hazard by engineers and a local CBS affiliate in fact found over 2o inches of water was lost from the dam following the quake.
Complicating matters even further is officials gave conflicting statements about what triggered the shutdown at the nuclear plant. Some officials were quoted as saying the plant was manually shut down, claims which other officials said were untrue saying the quake triggered an automatic shutdown.
Adding to the concerns, there are now fears that pipes under the facility may be leaking radioactive tritium into the ground. In the past, nuclear plants have gone years and even decades without admitting to tritium radiation leaks. (igualico que aquí...)
We have learned that several crucial parts of the North Anna plant were not built to withstand earthquakes.
In fact, the NRC found several crucial parts of the power plant were not protected from earthquakes.
After Fukushima, but before the recent East Coast quake, the NRC began a review of U.S. nuclear plants and found a few “discrepancies” at North Anna including:

• Portions of the water and gaseous suppression systems and hose stations are not seismically designed.
• A fire-pump storage area is non-seismic.
• Seismically designed floodwalls are located in the non-seismic turbine building.

Source: Energy News
Now, nuclear industry watchdogs are raising the alarm that the North Anna plant is likely leaking radiation from underground pipes following the earthquake.
To make matters worse, even given the known history of the nuclear industry covering up leaks, the government is refusing to do an independent inspection into the plants pipes.
Instead, as The Hook reports, the government will allow the plant operator to do their own inspection of the plant.
Tritium trouble? Nuke fears rise with quake, self-policing

There may be a tritium radiation leak at the North Anna nuclear plant following the Virginia Earthquake.

After the nuclear catastrophe that followed the earthquake and tsunami in Japan last spring, some Central Virginia activists cautioned that a similar nightmare could unfold right here at the Dominion-operated North Anna nuclear generating plant in Louisa County. Despite Dominion’s assurances that the plant made it through the August 23 earthquake unscathed, activists contend that the quake, which measured 5.8 on the Richter Scale and had an epicenter just eleven miles from the plant, may have been more catastrophic than anyone is admitting. New information bolsters their fears.
On Monday, August 29, the federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission announced that the quake may, in fact, have produced force that exceeded the North Anna plant’s specifications and that the Commission is sending a special Augmented Inspection Team to assess the damage.
“Initial reviews determined the plant may have exceeded the ground motion for which it was designed,” says the release, which also assures that “no significant damage to safety systems has been identified.”
That’s small consolation to one prominent nuclear watchdog, who says it’s not what’s above ground that gives him the greatest concern.
“Central to the issue is miles of buried pipe under the plant that carry radioactive water,” says Paul Gunter, director of a nonprofit group called Beyond Nuclear.
Gunter cites recent problems with underground pipes at nuclear plants in Illinois and Vermont, where millions of gallons of water contaminated with the radioactive hydrogen isotope tritium seeped into groundwater, even as the power companies that owned the plants denied for years that it was happening.
The result of those leaks and their public concealment by the Exelon and Intergy power companies– at the Braidwood Station plant in Illionis and at the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Plant– was not additional government oversight as one might expect, says Gunter, but merely the creation of two voluntary programs that allow the power companies to inspect their own pipes and groundwater and then report the findings to the Commission.
“Here’s an industry that has hidden these leaks that is now self-reporting and overseeing itself to the NRC,” says a disgusted Gunter.
Indeed, at North Anna, newly arrived government inspectors won’t be conducting their own tests of the miles of underground pipes. And the assumption that those pipes didn’t sustain damage during the earthquake, which knocked two Louisa County schools out of commission and caused cracks in the Washington Monument some 90 miles away, might be laughable to Gunter if he weren’t convinced of potentially grave public danger.

Como no podía ser de otra forma, la contaminación no solo afecta a las zonas terrestres. El mar de su costa, del que tantos japoneses viven, está seriamente dañado. Y las mentiras sobre la dispersión de la radioactividad siguen en el sentido de minimizar el impacto.

Una reflexión dirigida a aquellos que piensan que todo ha terminado sólo porque ya no se habla de ello en los medios:

Fukushima ya ha dejado sin hogar a 155.000 japoneses | Paralelo 36 Andalucia

"Cuando se cumplen seis meses desde que el tsunami noqueara la central de Fukushima, las consecuencias de la catástrofe comienzan a mostrarse en su forma más cruda, ahora que el sobresalto inicial ha pasado y la relativa estabilización de los reactores permite tomar un respiro para mirar con perspectiva lo sucedido. Ahora se sabe que muchos jamás volverán a ver sus hogares, después de que Naoto Kan, ex primer ministro, reconociera por primera vez la semana pasada días antes de dejar el cargo que el entorno afectado permanecerá inhabitable durante décadas debido a la alta radiación".

Los que defienden la energía nuclear lo hacen por dos motivos perfectamente claros:
- Por intereses, o
- Por ignorancia
Los que estamos en contra deberíamos ser lo mas consecuente posible y, entre otras cosas, gracias a la liberalización del mercado eléctrico que nos da la opción de cambiarnos de compañía sin coste alguno, tendríamos que dejar de darles dinero a las Cías propietarias de las nucleares, a saber: Gas Natural Fenosa, Endesa, Iberdrola y E.ON.
