by: Scott Pelley
(CBS News) One year ago Friday, rising radiation forced evacuation of most emergency workers from the Fukushima nuclear power plant. The tsunami that struck Japan five days earlier set off an emergency unlike any before: the meltdown of three reactors at the same time.
One of the experts sent into the emergency is Charles Casto. He's a former nuclear plant operator working for the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. He was America's top expert at the scene and an eyewitness to history. CBS Evening News anchor Scott Pelley caught up with him to talk about the Fukushima disaster.

3/19/2012 New study: Radiation treatments create cancer cells 30 times more potent than regular cancer cells
Source: Natural News
Date: Monday, March 19, 2012
by: Tony Isaacs
(NaturalNews) In a groundbreaking new study just published in the peer reviewed journal Stem Cells,
researchers at UCLA's Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center Department of
Oncology found that, despite killing half of all tumor cells per
treatment, radiation treatments on breast cancer transforms other cancer
cells into cancer stem cells which are vastly more treatment-resistant
than normal cancer cells. The new study is yet another blow to the
failed and favored mainstream treatment paradigm of trying to cut out,
poison out or burn out cancer symptoms (tumors) instead of actually
curing cancer.

3/14/2012 America Is Letting China Steal Our Valuable Nuclear Innovations
Source: Washington's Blog
Date: 3/14/2012
The U.S. Is Letting China Steal Its Nuclear Innovations …
Just Like Xerox Let Apple and Microsoft Steal Its Valuable Breakthroughs Microsoft and Apple grew rich by using Xerox’s innovation.
Xerox’s research arm (called Xerox Parc) invented the “graphical user interface” used by all modern computers.
Bill Gates famously admitted to Steve Jobs that both Microsoft and Apple had ripped of Xerox’s GUI. Xerox could have made a fortune on its innovation. But it didn’t realize what it had … and failed to capitalize on its breakthroughs (Xerox tried to sue to protect its invention … but years too late, and the lawsuit was thrown out because Xerox had missed the deadline for suing).
The same dynamic is playing out in the nuclear industry. Specifically, the U.S. created a safer, more efficient form of nuclear energy running on thorium. But – like Xerox Parc – America isn’t doing anything with its innovation, and China is running off with prize.
