http://sg.news.yahoo.com/un-nuclear-agency-opens-probe-malaysia-plant-020734615.html 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. http://sg.news.yahoo.com/germany-end-nuclear-power-2022-014456424.html Germany to close all nuclear plants by 202230-5-2011. (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. |

Japan detects high radiation levels off coast: report Radiation up to several hundred times normal levels has been detected on the seabed off the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant. Science ministry announced late Friday highly radioactive materials were detected in a 300-kilometre (190-mile) north-south stretch from Kesennuma in Miyagi Prefecture to Choshi in Chiba Prefecture. The ministry warned that the contamination could affect the safety of seafood, the report said, science ministry said it detected iodine and caesium on the seabed at 12 locations 15 to 50 kilometres from the coastline between May 9 and 14. The news follows an announcement by environmental activist group Greenpeace on Thursday that marine life had tested in waters more than 20 kilometres off the Fukushima nuclear plant showed radiation above legal limits. Fukushima prefecture has told AFP. No fishing is going on at the moment in its waters. Japan's fisheries agency and the govt has prohibited fishermen. The govts of China, South Korea, the Philippines and Vietnam reported that radiation had drifted over their territories, although they emphasised the levels were so low that there was no health risk. On Friday it had detected a small amount of radioactive iodine-131 in a sample of grey mullet but it was well below govt limits. Hong Kong govt did not say whether the iodine could be traced to the Fukushima plant. Greenpeace, anti-nuclear grp, which conducted coastal and offshore tests this mth, criticised Japanese authorities for their " continued inadequate response to the Fukushima nuclear crisis" sparked by the Mar 11 quake and tsunami. Said seaweed radiation levels 50 times higher than official limits. Raised " serious concerns about continued long-term risks to people and the environment from contaminated seawater" . Its tests were independently verified by French and Belgian laboratories, showed above-legal levels of radioactive iodine-131 and caesium-137 in several species of fish and shellfish. - AFP/ir teeth53 thot: In the aftermath of the quake, (do we need a nuclear plant here that can ruin us for life??.) small amounts of radiation from Fukushima spread across Asia, deepening concerns as millions of people in countries which had already imposed bans on Japanese produce from near the nuclear plant. |

It not that strong as expected, like an after shock, be prepare for some initial selling on bad news. So it is also a chances to pick on some selective stocks, take ur chances well, expect to test 3,150 again B4 going up. The quake, which hit at 11:32 pm local time (1432 GMT), had a magnitude of 7.4, according to the US Geological Survey, which said it struck 66 kilometres (40 miles) east of Sendai. |

http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/03/31/us-japan-quake-idUSTRE72A0SS20110331 Group of 20 chairman Sarkozy said France wanted to host a meeting of the bloc's nuclear officials in May to fix new norms in the wake of the crisis at Japan's Fukushima Daiichi plant. " We must address this anomaly that there are no international safety norms for nuclear matters," he said. The world's worst atomic crisis since Chernobyl in 1986 is proving harder to contain and has forced an international rethink on the benefits and safety of nuclear power. UN nuclear watchdog has suggested Japan consider widening an evacuation zone around a tsunami-damaged nuclear plant as radiation continues to leak into seawater near the plant. Thurs--International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), radiation expert measured at the village of Iitate, 40km from the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, exceeded a criterion for evacuation. U.N. (IAEA) sets standards and recommendations, and are not legally binding and safety is primarily the responsibility of member states. Radioactivity in the seawater has reached more than 4,000 times its legal limit, the Reuters news agency reported. " We have advised (Japan) to carefully assess the situation and they have indicated that it is already under assessment," Denis Flory, the IAEA's deputy director general, said. Concerns over radiation spreading beyond Japan grew again when S'pore detected radiation nine times the limit in cabbages imported from Japan while the United States reported small levels of radiation in milk samples on its west coast. Japan has ordered those within a 20km radius from the plant to leave and is encouraging those living in a 20-30km ring to do the same, and if they do not, to stay inside. Contaminated victims Thurs--Kyodo news, radiation fears have prevented authorities from collecting as many as 1,000 bodies of victims of the earthquake and tsunami from within the 20-kilometre-radius evacuation zone, The authorities are now considering how to collect the bodies, given fears that police officers, doctors and bereaved families may be exposed to radiation in retrieving the radiation-exposed bodies or at morgues. Quoting police sources. teeth53 thot--This might spell not only political disaster. Political fallout....in Germany..?? A moratorium on a planned extension of nuclear plant operating lives in Germany. Her critics claim that...The political fallout has already reached Germany, in a state election in Germany. Many factors lead to the surprising results of the...fall-out from Fukushima.

teeth53 thot--Result of always telling everyone is safe, esp resident, and 30 k/m??--the size much like S'pore. http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/03/29/us-japan-zone-idUSTRE72S10820110329 " Betrayed" Japanese communities might never go home. Plutonium has been found in the soil at the crippled plant 240 km (150 miles) north of Tokyo, authorities said on Tuesday, the latest in a series of radioactive contamination revelations. Radiation has been found in the sea off the plant, in vegetables and even in Tokyo tap water, though only briefly, the government said. More than 70,000 people have been evacuated from a 20-km (12 mile) exclusion zone around the plant and another 130,000, who live in a 10 km (6 miles) band beyond the exclusion zone, have been advised to leave. District governments in several of the towns within the 30 km zone have relocated and basic supplies are running short with many trucking firms reluctant to venture in to make deliveries. |

Japan. Latest news on unclear mishap...and quake. Japan's worst post-war disaster topped 10,000 and still climbling by Friday. Two weeks after a giant 9.0-magnitude quake that sent a massive tsunami crashing into the Japan Easten Pacific coast, wiping entire towns off the map, Japan held out little hope of finding alive another 17,433 listed as missing. Tokyo to Sendai--303.3 kilometres (188.5 miles, a distance from S'pore to KL) which was still emitting radioactive vapour as high level of radiation is found in vegi grown in Tokyo that has made Tokyo drinking water unsafe for infants and sparked a global food chain scare. Tokyo's usually frantic Tsukiji fish market, (world's biggest), demand has plummeted -- partially because half-empty hotels in a nervous Tokyo have reduced orders as foreigners stay away and conferences are cancelled. In Japan largest port Yokohama and Tokyo--d authority is telling everyone, it very safe with low level radiation. 250 k/m away from six-reactor Fukushima. Higher radioactivity has also been detected in the Pacific ocean near the coastal power station, raising consumer fears about the safety of fish and seaweed, which are traditional food staples of the island nation. European Union has joined the United States, Russia and several other countries in restricting food imports from Japan, which itself has ordered a stop to vegetable and dairy shipments from the region around the plant. Fukushima, just 250 km (150 miles) north of Tokyo, govt prodded tens of thousands people living in a 20-30 km (12-18 mile) zone beyond to leave, but insisted it was not widening a smaller evacuation zone. China, meanwhile, said two Japanese travellers arrived were found to have very high levels of radiation. They came as far away from, from Nagano and Saitama perfectures--200 k/m n 350 k/m away. It mark the 1st time that serious contamination from Japan mishap nuclear has reached China. The two Japanese were send to hospital for " de-comtamination" B4 sending back to their tour group. Others related news went unreported--" Defects at US nuclear plants " unreported" . In US 104 out of 24 nuclear reactors went unreported since last Dec 2009.
