General information regarding nuclear energy (accidents etc...)

To start I have found a gentleman that compiled a list of accidents and placed that list on Wikipedia. I don't use Wikipedia as a sole source as a rule. A good researcher will use various sources that do not parrot each other with their information. I am starting with this list because it gives us the list of KNOWN accidents and is a good base from which to start.

There may be more but the gentleman that compiled this can’t be totally positive about the number. There may be more we do not know about.

Power plants only 1961 to 2012

This man just lists the accidents and that's all.

I wonder how long this will take to circle the globe, continually, since it is still on going?

Regarding Fuki.  Horribly saddening.

Add this to the accidents. What have we done?

Today Jan 17, 2014 on "Democracy Now" - Amy Goodman of the War and Peace Report, has a good show on Fukushima.  She has been in Tokyo the past three days, and today's broadcast presents a summary report.

Includes interview with the Mayor of the Town where the Fukushima Plant is.

Safecast

Safecast is a global sensor network for collecting and sharing radiation measurements to empower people with data about their environments.

"Today we broke another data milestone when we crossed 15 million data points in the Safecast database. You may recall that it was only June 2013 when we broke 10 Million and October 2011 when first hit 1 million so momentum is picking up thanks in no small part to many proud new bGeigie Nano owners. Today we added our first data from Australia.

Also, Amy Goodman and Democracy Now went to Tokyo and caught up with Pieter Franken for this piece on Safecast which aired today."

When people say they are sick from radiation, you can use this information from Mayo Clinic to determine visually if someone may have physical symptoms of radiation sickness. Note: The sailors were not wearing suits to protect from fallout when the reactors blew. Did the Reagan navigate through the plume? Did TEPCO warn the Reagan? Many questions....

Here is the link to Mayo Clinic:

All my documentaries are posted on YouTube for free to anyone to see and remixable versions are posted also. If you cannot purchase or donate, please share and remix and burn your own copies to spread the truth. Thanks so much for your patience with this documentary.

Continuing to watch and its good in my humble opinion.

It looks like we have some updated information from enews

http://enenews.com/newspaper-ignores-scientific-models-show-fukushima-radiation-impacting-west-coast-fails-inform-readers-reporting-only-discredited-tsunami-wave-height-map-illness-mind-people-lie-about-threat-map

"Newspaper ignores scientific models that show Fukushima radiation impacting West Coast — Fails to inform readers by only reporting on discredited tsunami wave-height map — “What illness of the mind must people have to lie about the threat?” (ACTUAL FORECAST MODELS)"

"The Province, Jan. 23, 2014: Without actual things to worry about, too many people these days are making up or exaggerating risks. Our recent story on the Fukushima Disaster is a good example. That was a terrible event, but what illness of the mind must people have to lie about the threat to B.C., even going so far as the misrepresent a wave-height map of the Pacific to pretend it shows that dangerous radiation is flowing to our shores?"

It looks like one map model has been misrepresented. They also add other models to the story on this link and makes you wonder what else is misrepresented.

Scientists present links between unusual Alaska seal deaths and Fukushima fallout — Skin lesions, hair loss, lethargy — ‘Pulsed release’ when built-up radionuclides were set free as ice melted — “Wildlife health implications” due to radiation exposure discussed (PHOTOS & MAP)

This portion is directly from the article.  The article contains pictures and maps.  The seals were out on the ice when Fukushima problem transpired.  They have lesions and other issues.....

"We present results on gamma analysis (cesium 134 and 137) of muscle tissue from control and diseased seals, and discuss wildlife health implications from different possible routes of exposure to Fukushima fallout to ice seals. Since the Fukushima fallout period occurred during the annual sea ice cover period from Nome to Barrow, a sea ice based fallout scenario in addition to a marine food web based one is of particular relevance for the Fukushima accident."

I believe this article rates a look.  This should have a bearing on other sea life where the tissue should be checked for radiation poisoning from cesium 134 or 137.

A site that has carried much news I found not working tonight.  They have carried much news about the American sailors and the Fukushima problem.  I hope this only a small glitch and not someone trying to shut down news. (enenews is the site)  I tried someone else's site not related and couldn't pull up Fukushima information there either.

I will keep trying other sites.  Maybe this is only site issues.  I hope they are minor.  I know it's not my computer.

Spoke too soon. Site is back up and running.

This is a meltdown simulation for a Fukushima reactor



NHK: “The unimaginable was happening” — Workers say part of Reactor 2 containment vessel destroyed — After alarming pressure readings, “we heard a loud bang… pressure is now zero” (VIDEO)

This was right after the tsunami a couple of days later. This will proably be the last you hear from news source NHK.

NHK broadcaster quits in protest over nuclear issues — Professor censored after 20 years on air — Was to reveal ‘extraordinarily high’ damages — Newly installed NHK chief ‘enthusiastic’ to help spread gov’t messages to audience.

Sound familiar with regards to controlling the news?

Mankind at their finest? Is this more proof that eventually, our death grip on radiation for power, will eventually doom us all? There has to be a better way.

New power technology? Controlled and protected by the big three? Three as in the eagle, bear, and dragon. Earths spirit totems? Is it possible? Can they find the way to work together? As the world turns.......

Tritium leak discovered at Perry nuclear power plant

----------------------------------------------------------------

Where else has leaks and other problems been occurring here in the U.S.?

Place a "check" next to any one of the "safety issues" then click "refresh map". One issue especially which caught my attention was the number of "groundwater leaks reported".

The desperate days after the Fukushima nuclear disaster, told by those who were there.

http://video.pbs.org/video/2187854464/

Nuclear after shocks. FRONTLINE correspondent Miles O'Brien travels to three continents to explore the revived debate about the safety of nuclear power, the options for alternative energy sources, and questions about whether a disaster like the one at Fukushima could happen in the United States.

I found these two videos that pretty much tell the story without bias from those reporting it.

Interesting progress.......

Japan considers energy future after Fukushima

A disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant on March 11, 2011, has greatly affected how Japanese citizens feel about that energy source. Polls suggest that 80 percent of voters now oppose nuclear power in Japan. But walking away from nuclear power is a tricky proposition for a country that has not invested much in renewable alternatives. Science correspondent Miles O'Brien reports.

Alternative energy.....
