NOVANEWS Power station continuing to contaminate water and soil two years after disaster, nuclear watchdog says. Image from Google Maps. Japan’s nuclear regulator says it believes radioactive water from the crippled Fukushima power station is leaking into the Pacific, and urged operators to act to prevent further contamination. Shunichi Tanaka, head of the new Nuclear Regulation Authority, said on Wednesday that he believed contamination of the sea had been continuing since the March 2011 catastrophe. “I think contamination of the sea is continuing to a greater or lesser extent,” Tanaka said. “It was contaminated at the time of the accident, but I think it has been continuing for the last two years. Coming up with countermeasures against all possible scenarios is a top priority.” Fukushim...

NOVANEWS   Radioactive isotopes of the type released from Fukushima have a half-life of 30,000 years.  This means that we must permanently change the way we prepare our food.   By Jeromie Williams If you live on the west coast of Canada or the United States, you’re pretty much already screwed at this point thanks to the Japanese earthquake and tsunami of 2011.  Radiation levels are already increasing in the food and water, babies born with thyroid issues linked to radiation are rising quickly and governments in Canada and the United States are raising the “acceptable levels” of certain toxic substances in the food being shipped in from Japan. This isn’t a conspiracy theory, this is happening and it’s happening right now. The fancy little picture at the top of the article is...

NOVANEWS Researchers release report showing cesium in seawater, plankton following Fukushima disaster - Andrea Germanos, staff writer Radioactive cesium from the Fukushima plant was found at 10 points in the Pacific Ocean, including a location as far as 1300 miles from the plant, less than a year after Fukushima nuclear disaster began, scientists revealed on Tuesday. (Photo: thierry ehrmann/cc/flickr)The Japan Times and Kyodo Newsreported that the findings were announced by researchers with the Japan Agency for Marine Earth Science and Technology at the Japan Geoscience Union meeting. At each of the 10 points, located between Japan's Hokkaido island and Guam, cesium 134 and cesium 137 were detected in the plankton and seawater samples taken by the scientists between January and Februa...

NOVANEWS Toru Hashimoto's remarks that soldiers needed sex slaves to "maintain discipline" during World War II spark anger.   Zionist Aljazeera The Japanese military's forced prostitution of Asian women before and during World War II was necessary to "maintain discipline" in the ranks and provide rest for soldiers, an outspoken nationalist mayor has said. The comments made on Monday are already raising anger in neighbouring countries that bore the brunt of Japan's wartime aggression, and that have long complained that Japan has failed to make amends for wartime atrocities. Toru Hashimoto, the young, brash mayor of Osaka who is also co-leader of an emerging conservative political party, also told reporters that there was not clear evidence that the Japanese military coerced women ...

NOVANEWS Reverse Renaissance? Experts Point to 6 Reactors on the Chopping Block and Passage of Anti-Industry Florida Law; Beleaguered Industry's Woes Start With Bad Economics ... and Go Downhill From There. WASHINGTON - May 9 - Call it the "renaissance in reverse." Not only is the U.S. nuclear power industry mothballing plans for planned reactors in North Carolina and Texas, it also is now pulling the plug (or threatening to do so) on existing reactors in California. All of that and the passage of anti-industry legislation in Florida happened last week (April 28th-May 3rd), easily the worst single week for the U.S. nuclear power industry since the March 2011 meltdown of nuclear reactors in Fukushima, Japan. One day after the closure by Dominion Resources of the Kewaunee Power Station rea...

NOVANEWS by JGVibes TEPCO must urgently 'improve the reliability of essential nuclear systems' by Jacob Chamberlain Common Dreams The operator of Japan's crippled Fukushima nuclear plant must get its act together and stabilize the plant's "essential systems," the International Atomic Energy Agency urged on Monday, saying that it will likely take more time than the 40 years to properly decommission the site. Picture taken by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on April 17, 2013 shows members of the IAEA Division of Nuclear Fuel Cycle and Waste Technology inspecting the control room of the unit one and two reactor buildings of the crippled TEPCO Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant in Okuma, Fukushima prefecture (AFP / IAEA) The prepared statements from the IAEA were...

NOVANEWS http://lalkar.org The bourgeois financial press has been expressing concern since the beginning of this year about the intention of the new Japanese government to adopt economic measures that promote a target of 2% inflation rather than the deflation that has characterised the Japanese economy for some time now. The Japanese government justifies its stand as being an attempt to reduce unemployment, to get the unemployed back to work; but many analysts have taken the view that it is a ploy to weaken the exchange rate of the Japanese yen in order to make Japanese exports cheaper for foreign buyers while imports from abroad would become more expensive. The Financial Times of 7 February (Michael Steen and Alice Ross, 'Draghi move fuels currency war fears') writes that " With central b...

NOVANEWS General Assembly GA/SPD/523 IHAB HAMED ( Syria) said more effort should be made to raise awareness among the public and the scientific community on the effects of nuclear radiation. Recalling the Chernobyl and Fukushima accidents, he called attention to the fact that such events could occur with any reactor in the world. Consequently, he was gravely concerned by the absence of international supervision on some reactors and the lack of implementation of the comprehensive IAEA safety systems. For example, IsraHell’s nuclear reactor constituted a serious threat to the region and to the world. It was very old, according to international criteria and should have been closed years ago to avoid potentially catastrophic emissions of poisonous gases. Those were not his word...
