Insight: Wake-up call missed after Japan's tsunami disasters

" So far it seems there was more talk of change than change itself. It is all still being sorted out," said Samuels, director of the Center for International Studies at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Japan's mammoth government debt keeps piling up while critical decisions get pushed back, referred to various panels, lodged in elaborate rituals of " consensus-building" or political horse-trading in a gridlocked parliament.

Is clear that this has been a trigger for the start of possible reform of that dark side of the system," says Tatsuo Hatta, an economist, who is on an expert panel discussing Japan's energy mix. " The myth that nuclear power was completely safe and that what utilities said was completely correct has been utterly destroyed."

Clearly, disillusion with Japan's establishment has reached new depths since the disasters.

" Now, the more I look into that, the more I realize how dangerous nuclear power plants are ... It's a sin not to care," she added. " My life has changed a lot. I now buy water and vegetables from certain places and have a Geiger counter."

Take note: This is what can happen, we are not prepare for and always beyond human can control.

This is what can happen and we are not prepare for and always beyond human can control.

The radiation experience - Effects of Radiation on the Human Body, including hair, brain, thyroid, blood, heart, Gastrointestinal (GI) Tract , and Reproductive Tract.

www.atomicarchive.com/Effects/radeffects.shtml

The Japan experience - Cases of excessive radiation in vegetables, tea, milk, animal farm, seafood and water have stoked anxiety despite always saving it is save, assurances from public officials.

The German experience - Nuclear power station causing cancer.

An official study - German govt shows the risk of getting cancer is increasing for children growing up in the neighborhood of a nuclear power station. This is in particular true for leukemia, a special case of cancer. The closer to the nuclear power station, the higher the risk of leukemia and cancer.

In Germany, child cancer patience are being recorded. For investigate into the cases of children's cancer between the years 1980 and 2003. There were 1592 children of age less than five years who got the disease and 4735 healthy children involved in the study.

The result showed - A significantly higher risk to get cancer if the children lived within a circle of less than 5 km around a nuclear power plant.

According to the normal statistical values, there should have been 48 cases of cancer and 17 cases of leukemia within the above mentioned circle of 5 km around the atomic power plants. Test others wise indicated, 77 cases of cancer (60% more than expected) and 37 cases of leukemia (117% more than expected).

A person directly involved in the study mentioned to Spiegel online, that there might be human at higher risk for leukemia even within a circle of 50 km around nuclear power plants.

No-man's land attests to Japan's nuclear nightmare

Under a detailed roadmap, plant operator. Tokyo Electric Power Co will remove the melted nuclear fuel, most of which is believed to have fallen to the bottom of the core or even down to the bottom of the larger, beaker-shaped containment vessel, a process that is expected to begin in 10 years.

Recent studies also suggest Japan continues to significantly underestimate the scale of the disaster — which could have health and safety implications far into the future.......

All told, decommissioning the plant will likely take 40 years.

Was just imagining where will S'pore govt, can decent burial our own unclear waste..??.

http://sg.news.yahoo.com/insight-japans-nuclear-crisis-goes-much-further-fukushima-063604455.html

Japan nuclear power which supplied a third of its one year ago, is virtually paralysed. Of all 54 unclear reactors, only two is online.

CLOCK TICKING -- Unlike France and the U.S., the world's biggest atomic power generators, Japan does not have much in the way of geologically stable and empty landscapes in which to bury nuclear waste for centuries. Given its population density is 10 times higher than the U.S. and almost three times higher than France, Japan faces a " not in my backyard" problem like no other big nuclear-power nation.

It certainly has nothing like the deserts of Nevada, where Washington had been developing a burial chamber deep inside a mountain before shelving the project in 2010, partly due to local opposition. The U.S. also stores its waste at power stations nationwide and it too is being urged to quickly find a new burial site in light of the Fukushima crisis.

teeth53 thot - CLOCK TICKING....on unclear fallout and it dumping ground, it radiation and radioactive tailings waste effect.

Low radiation already causing problem in Perak and now testing near 700,000 living in Pahang.

This is only the tip of d ice berg - In Japan...Fukushima alone, more than 100,000 families have been separated because of the nuclear accident. And even now, one million people still live in contaminated areas with deep sufferings and anxiety.

Radiation effect is NO laughing matter (there is no cure) and it greatly effecting much more then oneself think is save.

It will effectively changes it DNA in unborn childs, babies and children.

Especially those who came in contact and or expose to radiation.

Lynas Corp's rare earth plant in Gebeng has been reviewed by the Government and found to be safe, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

He also said they were looking for an uninhabited location to place the waste material from the Lynas plant although it was scientifically safe.

Malaysia (AP) govt says U.N. nuclear experts have opened investigations into whether plans for an Australian-built rare earth refinery present any threat of radioactive pollution, currently being built by Australian miner Lynas in eastern Malaysia could curtail China's monopoly on the supply of rare earths for making high-tech goods.

Germany to close all nuclear plants by 2022

30-5-2011. (Mon) Germany became the 1st major industrialised power to agree an end to nuclear power in the wake of the disaster in Japan, with a phase-out due to be completed by 2022..

.

Chancellor Angela Merkel said the decision, hammered out by her centre-right coalition overnight, marked the start of a " fundamental" rethink of energy policy in the world's number four economy.

" We want the electricity of the future to be safer and at the same time reliable and affordable," Merkel told reporters as she accepted the findings of an expert commission on nuclear power she appointed in March in response to the crisis at Japan's Fukushima plant.

" That means we must have a new approach to the supply network, energy efficiency, renewable energy and also long-term monitoring of the process," she said.

teeth53 thot: Why we, we need to secure unclear free Asean.

In the wake of Japan Quake and nuclear crisis...Asean must wake up to apocalyptic gamble.

KL tells Lynas to send back waste back waste.

Four govt ministries involved in granting the temporary operating licence issued a joint statement, asking miner for letter of undertaking ahead of big protest in five cities.

Any residue generated by its plant to be send back to it, " its original source" namely the company's Mount Weld mine in Perth, Western Australia.

According to Lynas, the AELB will meet on January 30 to decide on whether to issue a pre-operating licence which will be followed by a full licence within two years if the plant meets safety requirements outlined in its application. Lynas is anticipating a windfall of RM8 billion a year from 2013 onwards.

Meantime, disposing of radioactive waste on an uninhabited island would be the most expensive option for Lynas Corp if the Australian miner’s plans to reprocess residue from its RM2.5 billion rare earth plant in Kuantan fails.

Rokkasho would consume 80% of Japan's spent fuel, assuming Tokyo decides to return to pre-disaster levels of nuclear power generation.

" Even if the Rokkasho plant becomes operational, we cannot help but meet the deadline (for storage space to run out) in 15 to 20 yrs, just a little longer than about 10 yrs without it," said Hideyuki Ban, co-director of the Citizens' Nuclear Information Center and also a member of a govt panel studying the nuclear fuel cycle.

But the waste problem is now so acute that experts say the facility will only buy Japan an additional five to 10 years before it has to implement more lasting but politically sensitive solutions, such as permanent burial.

If it fails to find a solution to its waste-fuel problem, the entire nuclear power industry could one day grind to a halt. " We think there is an 80 to 90 percent chance of the plant being a failure."

Japanese govt and electricity utilities insisted that it nuclear power technology is superior. However, Fukushima showed us that they were so wrong.

The fallout, nuclear reactors contaminated a vast land area, the air and the sea. I want the M'sian govt and its people to recognise that the Fukushima tragedy could happen to any country that embraces nuclear power.

Australian uranium was used in the Fukushima reactors that were destroyed in March. We Australians do not want to be responsible for similar disasters in Malaysia.

A 50-yr lifespan, a single nuclear reactor is responsible for 1500 tonnes of high-level nuclear waste and a staggering 35mil tonnes of low level radioactive tailings waste.

Representative of the Fukushima Network for Protecting Children from Radiation, Seiichi Nakate, said:

I would not want the Malaysian people to experience the tragedy that people in Fukushima are now facing. I came here only because I wanted to tell you this. In Fukushima, more than 100,000 families have been separated because of the nuclear accident. And even now, one million people still live in contaminated areas with deep sufferings and anxiety.

Thot of the day - The Malaysian govt should not bequeath this toxic legacy to future generations.

WHY RENEWABLE ENERGY BETTER THAN NUCLEAR -

The Power Mix in

India

(2010) is - Thermal: 65 % Hydro: 25 % Nuclear: 3% Renewable: 7 %.

The Installed capacity as on 30th November 2010 - Coal is at 89,778.38 Mw Hydro is at 37,367.40 Mw Gas is at 17,624.85 Mw Diesel is at 1,199.75 Mw Nuclear is at 4,560 Mw Wind & Solar energy is at 16,786.98 Mw.

This shows that even if the nuclear power projects which contributes 4,560 Mw are not allowed due any reasons we still can manage to mop up our power demands. We can utilise this money by giving subsidies & financing to renewable energies. Looking at the current scenario I think that govt. will have no option rather than to promote alternative energy resources.NUCLEAR PLANT OR NO NUCLEAR PLANT INDIA WILL SHINE AS IT WAS & AS IT IS……..http://bhavikkshah.blogspot.com/2011/03/renewable-energy-much-better-than.html

KUANTAN, May 29 — A public health scientist today warned residents that the RM700 million rare earth refinery being built here would effectively make “lab rats” of the 700,000 population.

Citing reports on various nuclear incidents including 1986 Chernobyl disaster that crippled Soviet economy

The controversial rare earth plant being built by Australian miner Lynas Corp has raised fears of a repeat of the radiation pollution from a similar plant in Bukit Merah, Ipoh.

The Asian Rare Earth (ARE) plant in Perak has been linked to birth defects and at least eight cases of leukaemia in the past five years, seven of which were fatal.

Nearly 20 years after it was shuttered, the plant is still the subject of a RM300 million cleanup.

Putrajaya bowed to public pressure in Kuantan and last month put on ice the plant being built by Lynas Corp, pending a month-long review by international experts.

The meeting this evening between various anti-Lynas groups was to work out strategies before a series of meetings with the panel this week, which they see as their best chance to scupper Lynas’s plans.
