Environment minister Goshi Hosono and four reporters are given a tour of Fukushima No.4, where the spent fuel rods are housed. The storage pool contains 1,535 fuel rods. This is at a time when there are fears that the spent fuel pool could collapse if there is another earthquake, and cause a massive release of radiation.

Video Description

In addition, Fukushima's Unit 3 reactor also used MOX [mixed oxide], a plutonium-uranium fuel mixture that is deadly. A single milligram of MOX is 2-million times more deadly than enriched uranium.

*Note: Single radiation dose of 2,000 millisieverts (200,000 millirems) and above causes serious illness. See also exposure list below.
Half-life of some radioactive elements

[NOTE: Half-life is the time taken for a radioactive substance to decay by half.]

* Cesium-134 ~ 2 years
* Cesium-137 ~ 30 years
* Iodine-131 ~ 8 days
* Plutonium-239 ~ 24,200 years
* Ruthenium-103 ~ 39 days [Ruthenium is a fission product of uranium-235.]
* Ruthenium-106 ~ 374 days

* Strontium-90 ~ 28.85 years [Strontium-90 is a product of nuclear fission and is found in large amounts in spent nuclear fuel and in radioactive waste from nuclear reactors.]

* Uranium-234 ~ 246,000 years
* Uranium-235 ~ 703.8 million years
* Uranium-238 ~ 4.468 billion years

Fukushima Reactor 4 poses massive global risk:

" Worst-case scenario

There are a couple of possible outcomes, Gundersen said.

Highly radioactive cesium and strontium isotopes would likely go airborne and "volatilize" -- turning into a vapour that could move with the wind, potentially travelling thousands of kilometres from the source.

The size of those particles would determine whether they remained in Japan, or made their way to the rest of Asia and other continents.(notice how he avoids mentioning the North America!)
(yet "traveling thousands of kilometres" means North America)

"And here's where there's no science because no one's ever dared to attempt the experiment," Gundersen said. "If it flies far enough it goes around the world, if the particles stay a little bigger, they settle in Japan. Either is awful."

Essentially, he said, Japan is sitting on a ticking time bomb. "

connectingdots2: ...again Arnie Gunderson is minimizing the outcome as we already know that since March last year the entire world as been getting dosed with Fukushima radiation fallout.

It has been more than a year now since the massive 9.0-plus magnitude earthquake and corresponding tsunami devastated the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant on the eastern coast of Japan, sending untold amounts of nuclear radiation into the environment. And to this day, the threat of nuclear fallout is ever-present all around the world in what some have described as a “nuclear war without a war.”

NRC Chairman Gregory Jaczko has announced that he will step down as soon as a successor is confirmed.

The longest-serving member of the five-member commission announced in a press released statement that he will resign his post, adding “Serving the American people as the Chairman of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission has been an honor and privilege. The mission of this agency – protecting people and the environment, and providing for the common defense and security – could not be more clear, or more critical.”

Commission the Fukushima International Scientific Advisory Team, save Spent Fuel Pool #4, and stop Fukushima.

The following Whitehouse.gov petition for international support to save spent fuel pool #4 has gotten only 678 of  24,322 needed by May 8, 2012:

The #4 Spent Fuel Pool was badly damaged in last year's earthquake and ensuing hydrogen explosion. Its collapse would result in a complete loss of control at Fukushima and a subsequent release of radioactivity so great as to cause what former Prime Minister Naoto Kan has called "a demonic chain reaction" of nuclear meltdowns at nearby plants. Japanese diplomat Akio Matsumura has said this release would "destroy the world environment and civilization."


We the People call on President Obama to commission the Fukushima International Scientific Advisory Team and lead the international community in bringing the weight of the world's collective resources to bear in saving the Reactor #4 Spent Fuel Pool from collapse and ending the slow-motion radiological holocaust emanating from Fukushima.

Please sign and spread the word, looks like they could use our help.

Clip #1 from "Though the Earth Be Moved" 1964 Alaska Earthquake
The Journal Environmental Science and Technology reports in a new study that the Fukushima radiation plume contacted North America at California "with greatest exposure in central and southern California," Projected paths of the radioactive atmospheric plume emanating from the Fukushima reactors, best described as airborne particles or aerosols for 131I, 137Cs, and 35S, and subsequent atmospheric monitoring showed it coming in contact with the North American continent at California, with greatest exposure in central and southern California. 

Government monitoring sites in Anaheim (southern California) recorded peak airborne concentrations of 131I at 1.9 pCi m−3

Earth's Bulging Waistline Blamed on Glaciers, Oceans

John Roach for National Geographic News Scientists have identified a few suspects behind the Earth's sudden weight gain around the Equator: glacial melt and shifting ocean mass.

"It is quite striking that we are able to explain the [change] with oceans and glaciers," said Jean Dickey, a research scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.
Both El Niño and PDO involve a periodic warming of ocean currents. El Niño effects are concentrated primarily in the southern oceans, while PDO is observed in the northern.

Dickey's team created a computer model of the pressure exerted by the oceans on the Earth in the years before and after the El Niño and PDO events and found a pronounced shift in oceanic mass towards the Equator, said Dickey.

After writing my essay “Radioactive Hell on Earth”—actually I wanted to change that title to “Fukushima on Steroids”—I see Christina Consolo’s essay “Fukushima is Falling Apart”: Are you ready—it is becoming clear that we, our children and our entire civilization is hanging by a thread. It is a very sorry thing to report that we have literally shot ourselves in the foot with a big nuclear shotgun full of radioactive particles of the worst conceivable kind. It has taken a year but finally “a U.S. Senator finally got off his ass and went to Japan to see what is going on over there. What he saw was horrific.

4/29/2012 Why is safety a divisive issue for Nuclear Regulatory Commission?

Source: Los Angeles Times
Date: April 29, 2012

NRC Chairman Greg Jaczko has found himself on the losing side of 4-1 votes that usually end up favoring less stringent regulations for the industry. He's also been the target of a congressman's attacks.

Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Vista), left, Nuclear Regulatory Commission Chairman Gregory Jaczko and NRC senior resident inspector Greg Warnock listen to a safety briefing this month before entering the containment area of one of the reactors at the San Onofre nuclear plant. (Lynn Sakamoto, Associated Press / April 6, 2012)

Reading between the lines, it's probably fair to say that Greg Jaczko may not be someone you'd want to work for.

As chairman of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, he's been accused of yelling at people, browbeating subordinates and picking fights with his fellow NRC commissioners when he doesn't get his way. That's pretty much the totality of the bill of particulars Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Vista) put out in December in support of a concerted, albeit unsuccessful, campaign to drive Jaczko from his job.
(Jaczko has acknowledged that there are strong disagreements within the agency, but vehemently denies being especially tough on women, another charge made by Issa.)

What the report on Jaczko issued by Issa's committee on oversight and government reform didn't delve into too deeply, however, were the policy issues underlying the personal friction. That's too bad, because the disagreements concerned Jaczko's efforts to tighten safety and security regulations for the nation's 104 nuclear power reactors, in the face of the other commissioners' efforts to slow him down.
