Nuclear Denial and the Resignation of Gregory Jaczko

Meltdown at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission

The resignation last week of the chairman of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission is another demonstration of the bankrupt basis of the NRC. Gregory Jaczko repeatedly called for the NRC to apply “lessons learned” from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant disaster in Japan. And, for that, the nuclear industry—quite successfully—went after him fiercely.

The New York Times in an editorial over the weekend said that President Obama’s choice to replace Jaczko, Allison McFarlane, “will need to be as independent and aggressive as Dr. Jaczko.”

The recent Nuclear talks of the five permanent members of the UNSC plus Germany(P5+1) with Iran in Baghdad and plans to continue the talks in Moscow can not be isolated from the NATO-led war which was initiated in 2011 under the euphemism “The Arab Spring” and the undeclared, unconventional war on Syria; the regional geo-political background of an Iran that is asserting it´s position as regional power against the expansion of NATO`s and Israel´s regional hegemony; the complex global geo-political background with a NATO that has declared interventionism, Libya-style, part of it´s new doctrine at the 25th NATO Summit in Chicago; a Russia that is reasserting it´s position as power with global reach and strong regional interests; and the return to a multi-polar world by virtue of the BRICS alliance and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization; the global economic crisis and it´s propensity towards facilitating the onset of major conflicts; the coming U.S. elections; and standard U.S. negotiation strategies with respect to targeted nations.

5/27/2012 Laying the Foundations for Preemptive Nuclear War Against Iran

As prospects for a preemptive strike on Iran remain ever present, the recent round of talks between the P5+1 and Iran in Baghdad on May 23rd, 2012 have resulted in a familiar stalemate. As a precondition for any deal to stop higher-grade uranium enrichment, Tehran requested immediate relief from economic sanctions as a show of reciprocity [1]. Iranian chief negotiator Saeed Jalili emphasized Tehran’s right to develop peaceful nuclear energy as a signatory to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, while the P5+1 refused to scale back economic sanctions, insisting Iran suspend its 20% uranium enrichment program [2].

 LOS ANGELES, Calif. - Across the vast Pacific, the mighty bluefin tuna carried radioactive contamination that leaked from Japan's crippled nuclear plant to the shores of the United States 6,000 miles away — the first time a huge migrating fish has been shown to carry radioactivity such a distance.

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.”
