About 45 tons of radioactive water has reportedly leaked out of the Fukushima nuclear plant in Japan, that was badly damaged in March's earthquake and tsunami. Some of the toxic water may have found its way into the ocean during the weekend. RT talks to David Wagner from Country Risk Solutions in Tokyo.

11/26/2011 Nuclear waste shipment draws ire of angry nuclear protesters in both France and Germany

Date: 11/24/2011 and 11/26/2011
Sources: CCTV News, Associated Press and NHK World

According to CCTV News, a train shipment of nuclear waste from France's La Hague facility met resistance first in France as it departed Wednesday and then in Germany.  French anti-nuclear protesters, some of whom damaged rail tracks, managed to delay the shipment.  300 French protesters in Northern France were met by police with batons and tear gas.

Per the Associated Press, further resistance by German anti-nuclear protesters has taken the form of a peaceful protest in Dannenberg where 23,000 activists showed up to demonstrate, as well as 50 protesters who attempted to sabotage train tracks. 300 protesters in Berlin threw rocks and fireworks at police.

11/22/2011 Fukushima: “China Syndrome Is Inevitable” … “Huge Steam Explosions”, “Massive Hydrovolcanic Explosion” or a “Nuclear Bomb-Type Explosion” May Occur

Source: Washington's Blog

Fukushima May Blow

I’ve repeatedly noted that we may experience a “China syndrome” type of accident at Fukushima.
For example, I pointed out in September:

Mainichi Dailly News notes:

As a radiation meteorology and nuclear safety expert at Kyoto University’s Research Reactor Institute, Hiroaki Koide [says]:
The nuclear disaster is ongoing.
***
At present, I believe that there is a possibility that massive amounts of radioactive materials will be released into the environment again.
At the No. 1 reactor, there’s a chance that melted fuel has burned through the bottom of the pressure vessel, the containment vessel and the floor of the reactor building, and has sunk into the ground. From there, radioactive materials may be seeping into the ocean and groundwater.
***
The government and plant operator TEPCO are trumpeting the operation of the circulation cooling system, as if it marks a successful resolution to the disaster. However, radiation continues to leak from the reactors. The longer the circulation cooling system keeps running, the more radioactive waste it will accumulate. It isn’t really leading us in the direction we need to go.
It’s doubtful that there’s even a need to keep pouring water into the No.1 reactor, where nuclear fuel is suspected to have burned through the pressure vessel. Meanwhile, it is necessary to keep cooling the No. 2 and 3 reactors, which are believed to still contain some fuel, but the cooling system itself is unstable. If the fuel were to become overheated again and melt, coming into contact with water and trigger a steam explosion, more radioactive materials will be released.

 We are now head to head with a situation that mankind has never faced before.

11/20/2011 RealistNews: Advice on radiation detection and water filtration

Editor's Note: Per jsnip4 reverse osmosis water filtration systems help remove hot particles. He has some good silver (physical) investment videos as well.  Using his Digalert+ meter, jsnip4 measured his air filters in his house and found them to be 4-5x the normal background radiation.  

Startling: If you scroll forwards to 12:40 or view the video below, a concerned mother says her daughter was caught in a rainstorm and got a radiation burn and mysterious flu-like symptoms.  Unconfirmed but something worth investigating.  Here is the original source video which jsnip4 embedded in his own:

11/19/2011 NRC to Investigate Brunswick Nuclear Generating Station Radioactive Water Leak

On Wednesday (11/16/2011) after having completed scheduled maintenance Unit 2 of the two reactor Brunswick Nuclear Generating Station run by Progress Energy was found to have a radioactive water leak from the reactor core, after the reactor had been ramped up to 7% power. [1]  Brunswick discovered the problem the next morning and has since shut down the reactor. Unit 1 is still running at full power.  The NRC (Nuclear Regulatory Commission) will investigate and produce a report within 45 days. [1]

11/17/2011 Radiation Mystery Solved? Budapest 'Probably' the Source

Nuclear officials said today they believe they have traced the source of a massive, but harmless, radiation plume that has spread across the atmosphere in Europe to an institute in Hungary, but the head of the institute disagrees.  

The Hungary Atomic Energy Authority said the Budapest-based Institute of Isotopes was "most probably" the source of the continued leak of trace amounts of Iodine-131 into the atmosphere, according to a statement by the International Atomic Energy Institute. Last week the IAEA first announced they received reports of trace iodine-131 detections from countries "across Europe," but had no idea from where the radiation was leaking.
