Radioactive materials found near Fukushima Daiichi

Highly radioactive materials have been found in a town near the damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. The plant operator says they are likely to have been contaminated in the March 2011 nuclear accident.
Four radioactive substances were found last month and this month on the riverbed of the Ide River that runs through Naraha Town in Fukushima Prefecture.
Tokyo Electric Power Company checked the radioactive cesium in the materials. The utility says the ratio of cesium 137, whose half-life is about 30 years, is higher than that of cesium 134, whose half-life is about 2 years.
TEPCO says a similar ratio is found in materials detected more than 2 years after radioactive contamination.
The company says it is trying to identify the substances. It is not known why they were discovered about 15 kilometers from the nuclear plant.
TEPCO officials say it is possible they were blown by hydrogen explosions in the 2011 disaster or were emitted by the plant around that time.

7/14/2013 Typhoon Soulik causes nuclear reactor shutdown

Date: July 15, 2013, 12:07 am TWN

Jinshan Nuclear Power Plant (Credit Wikipedia)
TAIPEI, Taiwan -- Typhoon Soulik's strong winds caused one of the reactors at Taiwan's First Nuclear Power Plant to automatically shut down as part of precautionary measures twice on Saturday.

At 2:50 a.m. on July 13, strong winds knocked out systems designed to reduce the likelihood of direct lighting strikes on the facility at the plant's number two reactor unit, resulting in an automatic shutdown. While repairs were carried out on the system, the reading for the number of neutrons became exceedingly high, once again leading to an emergency shutdown as part of protection measures.

Transmutes Radioactive Waste - U.S. Navy and #LENR Energy

Source: Cold Fusion Now
Date: Thursday, July 11, 2013
By Gregory Goble

The United States of America Navy LENR energy patent is noteworthy. The transmutation of radioactive waste to benign elements through LENR low energy nuclear reactions is of global importance. With the continuing Fukushima disaster and the plutonium sludge leaks at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation site, which threatens planetary health, our government should be fast-tracking the LENR remediation of nuclear waste. This technology should be brought forward with broad disclosure and international involvement. The U.S. has not made broad disclosure and is thereby stalling international collaboration in development of this important nuclear waste and pollution remediation, a cold fusion technology.

Can we trust the DoE to do it right this time?

Editor's Note: Of particular interest in this article, is that Global Energy Corporation, a SPAWAR partner, claims to have a working pilot reactor called GeNie, which produces energy via a hybrid fusion/fast-fission process.   GeNie is said to operate off of nuclear waste, and produces no waste of its own, e.g. consumes and transmutes the nuclear waste in to less harmful daughter products...

7/1/2013 Davis-Besse still shut down today

The Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station remained shut down Sunday after one of its four reactor coolant pumps experienced trouble. ASSOCIATED PRESS
OAK HARBOR, Ohio — The Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station remained shut down today as more details emerged about what caused the unplanned closure.
Workers identified a problem with electrical wiring that connects a terminal box to the motor that powers one of the plant’s four reactor coolant pumps, said Jennifer Young, a FirstEnergy spokesman.
The wiring requires repair, and testing of the motor continues, she said. She did not know when the plant would restart or what caused the wiring problem.

Editor's Note:  As per NRC Event Notification Report #49159, the shutdown occurred on Saturday, June 29th at 9:20 EST due to "REACTOR COOLANT PUMP TRIP".  See map of Davis-Besse below.
