Fusion from Seawater?

Due to the announcement to day of the commitment of the US government to $7.5 million of funding to enable components to be built and installed at the new Wendelstein 7-X fusion device at Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics in Greifswald, Germany there is a bit of fluff in the NY Times about the potential of Fusion for solving our energy needs. Classically the writer starts of by saying that Fusion is completely safe and then proceeds to discuss the issues surrounding the containment of 100million degree mini suns. Saying they can successfully contain them for upto a whole second at a time and generate upto 16million watts during that 1 second period.

The aim of all this research is to be able to contain a plasma sun for upto 30 minutes at a time and convert the heat of 100 million degrees into steam energy which can be used to power steam turbines. A noble idea and a concept with a lot of promise but we really have to wonder if that is completely safe. In much the same way that existing nuclear energy production is not safe and we cannot rely on humans to actually follow through with the safety requirements to make things as safe as possible and given that the bean counters who manage the finances for the nuclear industry do not give a damn about preemptive safety in general relying on the rules written down in outdated manuals rather than preparing for the worst and investing heavily in the resources required to fix any large scale problems that may occur. Do we really want to have mini suns popping up all over the planet maintained by the same forces that have so demonstrably showed their ineptitude with the Fukushima and Gulf Oil Crises?

Until we fix the problem of accountants making the final decisions on what is deemed permissible for the functioning of the facilities that put our entire world at risk, we will never have a completely safe nuclear industry.

Mainstream Media finally realises how bad Fuku’dshima really is…

We are seeing a sea change in the coverage of the Fukushima disaster. With the realisation by the worlds mainstream media that there is no end in site for the pollution and damage being caused by the emissions from the facility. Mainstream media are now officially calling Fukushima the worst man made disaster in the history of modern civilisation…

Of course they still haven’t really decided to tell the full truth about the situation expecting us to believe that the molten cores from the four reactors were magically stopped in their tracks by the floor of the reactor buildings and have just been lying around boiling water for the past three months instead of actually continuing to burn through the earths crust towards the mantle as would be the logical physical process for highly radioactive lava. We are still expected to believe that the water and concrete at the bottom of the reactors is enough to trap molten metal burning at over 5000 degrees Celsius even though the highly reinforced concrete and steel walls of the reactor chamber were not able to contain the molten cores.

At least now they are officially expanding the area of land that has been officially contaminated on a daily basis. Yesterday it was 600 Km. Today it is 933 Km. Tomorrow or later this week they will admit it is the whole of Honshu Island and going further in to the Pacific ocean and across to Korea/China/Russia too.

They are also now publicly discussing the inevitable next set of major earthquakes to hit the Island Nation…

“Units one through three have nuclear waste on the floor, the melted core, that has plutonium in it, and that has to be removed from the environment for hundreds of thousands of years,” he said. “Somehow, robotically, they will have to go in there and manage to put it in a container and store it for infinity, and that technology doesn’t exist. Nobody knows how to pick up the molten core from the floor, there is no solution available now for picking that up from the floor.”

Dr Sawada says that the creation of nuclear fission generates radioactive materials for which there is simply no knowledge informing us how to dispose of the radioactive waste safely.

“Until we know how to safely dispose of the radioactive materials generated by nuclear plants, we should postpone these activities so as not to cause further harm to future generations,” he explained. “To do otherwise is simply an immoral act, and that is my belief, both as a scientist and as a survivor of the Hiroshima atomic bombing.”

Gundersen believes it will take experts at least ten years to design and implement the plan.

“So ten to 15 years from now maybe we can say the reactors have been dismantled, and in the meantime you wind up contaminating the water,” Gundersen said. “We are already seeing Strontium [at] 250 times the allowable limits in the water table at Fukushima. Contaminated water tables are incredibly difficult to clean. So I think we will have a contaminated aquifer in the area of the Fukushima site for a long, long time to come.”

Unfortunately, the history of nuclear disasters appears to back Gundersen’s assessment.

“With Three Mile Island and Chernobyl, and now with Fukushima, you can pinpoint the exact day and time they started,” he said, “But they never end.”

3 months and counting at Fuku’dshima

Yep, it’s now been 3 months since the Tsunami hit Japan and the Fukushima reactors went into meltdown. As expected they have made no progress on solving the problem of capping the melted cores. At least in the past month they officially admitted that the cores had actually melted within the first 5 hours of the Tsunami. Now they have expanded the official Fallout zone to a wider area in Japan. That must give people absolutely no confidence!

In addition this month the Russian press reported that the Radiation in the ocean had been detected as far as 300 km from the Fuku’d Facility. In other words as far south as Tokyo. Another way to look at it is that the whole of the Eastern coast of Japan and way out into the Pacific ocean. With the Toxic Cloud of Death continuing to spew forth polluting the entire worlds biosphere and the ocean being destroyed for generations to come things are looking worse every day.

Two Months and Counting at Fukushima

Today marks 2 months since the Japanese Tsunami and the start of the disaster at Fukushima which now threatens the health and well being of the entire planet. It is appropriate to do a recap of the way things have played out so far.

The situation was created by lack of appropriate operating procedures and management ineptitude. Instead of staying on and scrambling the fuel rods the entire crew of the Fukushima plant was immediately evacuated. By the time the call was made to scramble the fuel rods they had already started melting down and at more than 5000 degrees Celsius it didn’t take long for them to get completely out of control resulting in the first reactor chamber being breached on Saturday 12 March and the second on Sunday 13 March to begin their journey through the earths crust to the mantle. By then the entire complex was experiencing unprecedented levels of neutron flux and the approximately 900 metric tonnes of stored fuel rods also kept at the facility were starting to become a serious problem due to boiling off the water that was keeping them cool and stable.

By that point the official line in the global mainstream press was that everything was ok, because the Japanese Government had decided to use the same play book as the Gulf Oil Disaster and lie about the situation. The following two weeks was a carbon copy of the way BP handled things last year suggesting that the same marketing company was being used by the same people to handle the press and media and to provide the official story line for the bureaucrats to act out as the events unfolded.

During all of this one of two things was happening or maybe both. Due to Japanese arrogance they decided that they didn’t need any outside help to fix the problem. They purposefully decided to allow the situation to progress in order to perform the great population cull of the 21′st century that was predicted and called for by the Global Elites in order to meet their target of reducing the worlds population to 500 million people.

Now it has been 8 weeks and the emissions are just getting worse not better. The Japanese Defense Force is on the ground but due to the severity of the radiation they can only work in 10 minute shifts inside or near the reactor chambers. The big players with the skills and technology to achieve something have tried to assist where they could but it appears they are either being ignored by the Japanese or purposefully stymied by the people in control of the nuclear industry. In the mean time they are having to build the radiation tolerant equipment required to clean up the mess because as we experienced with the Gulf Oil Disaster the bean counters decided long ago that they don’t need to provide for and fund adequate safety and emergency backups in advance. However it is entirely due to their neglect that situations like the Gulf Oil Disaster and Fukushima Disaster are possible.

Since the Fukushima Disaster started we have seen unprecedented environmental destruction. The emissions from the facility include over 5000 radionuclides many of which have never been seen since the creation of the earth some 3.5 billion years ago. The Toxic Cloud of death now blankets the entire northern hemisphere and has been detected in the southern hemisphere too. The bulk of the emissions have been absorbed by the pacific ocean and in combination with the millions of litres of radioactive water that was dumped by the japanese we have now spoiled our oceans and seafood supply for at least the next 300 years and possibly for the next 300,000 years. The Japanese people have been washed over by the emissions cloud up to 4 days a week and by now have received enough radiation to have permanently damaged their DNA, cause mothers to have radioactive breast milk and many of them will start to die from this exposure soon. We don’t know how many people have already fallen due to the exposure as the Japanese Government has now instigated an official blackout on the media covering anything to do with the event that could be negatively received. At least they have done the humane thing by culling off the population of animals inside the 20 km exclusion zone around the facility. However that probably has more to do with minimising the risk of negative publicity than anything else.

The global mainstream press have now cut back dramatically on their coverage but things got so bad that the NATO countries decided to go to war against Libya and when that failed to hold peoples attention the US Government decided to kill the Osama Bin Laden character as a distraction.

The sad truth is that reality is real and physics cannot be swept under the carpet. We are experiencing an unprecedented threat to the human race and the people in charge are actively encouraging the situation to continue for as long as possible.

Things to remember.

  • Don’t eat any canned seafood form the northern pacific that was made this year or ever again. There will be a couple of years before the radiation is dispersed throughout the globe so eventually you wont want to eat seafood at all.
  • Don’t drink any wine produced this year in the northern hemisphere.
  • Don’t eat grass fed meat or dairy products packaged after March 2011 from the northern hemisphere. At least not for a few more years until the Cesium-137 is absorbed into the soil. Grain feed should be safe though.
  • Cut back on leafy green vegetables in the Northern Hemisphere. They have all been dusted with the Toxic Cloud of Death by now.
  • When handling anything from the region nearest to Japan make sure you wash properly afterwards and especially before eating.
  • Don’t buy any more Japanese products until they have capped the facility and cleaned up the environmental pollution on Honshu Island. Just 1 micron of Plutonium is enough to kill you.

Gulf Oil Disaster – 1 year anniversary



Latest on Fukushima disaster

There is mounting concern that other reactors are in meltdown but the Japanese Authorities are not providing any tangible information on the issue. There is a possibility that up to 13 reactors have been badly damaged by the Tsunami. They have also now formally admitted that the only option left now is to cover the Fukushima reactors with concrete similar to Chernobyl.

Why they waited for 18 days before deciding to take that option is beyond all reason and logic. Any competent physicist knew as soon as it happened that the reactors were doomed. That the idiots at the top have felt it was a fiscal priority to try and save the reactors is truly a shameless and greedy act of desperation. If I was Japanese I would be baying for blood. Will we see a Hari Kari moment from the TEPCO Board as they seek to address the grievous damage they have now inflicted on the world due to their inability to comprehend the gravity of the situation and make a decision that was not based on short term monetary value? Or will the Japanese people take matters into their own hands and give them the death penalty or at the very least life in prison.

How much pain and suffering is it worth to the people of Fukushima, Honshu, Japan and the entire rest of the world that TEPCO fought to save the reactors which were doomed anyway while allowing massive amounts of radiation to be emitted into the environment which will have a lasting affect on humanity for the next 300,000 years or more? Will we even survive this event for more than a few years? The jury is still out on how much radiation exposure we can take as a global community. Certainly we will see a marked rise in the incidences of painful deaths from cancer caused by being exposed to higher background levels of radiation and toxic food sources as the radionuclides are dispersed throughout the environment with every passing day.

Smoke was spotted at another nuclear plant in northeastern Japan on Wednesday, Tokyo Electric Power Co. said.
The company said smoke was detected in the turbine building of reactor No. 1 at the Fukushima Daini nuclear power plant around 6 p.m. (5 a.m. ET).

Record high readings of contaminated sea water were found near the plant. Radioactive iodine rose to 3,355 times the regulated safety limit yesterday afternoon from 2,572 times earlier in the day, said Hidehiko Nishiyama, a spokesman for Japan’s nuclear safety agency.

Plutonium Found Around the Fukushima Facility

What we have known all along has now been officially declared as fact. Plutonium-239 has a half life of 30,000 years. That means it has a full life of hundreds of thousands of years. All we need is to eat a micron to get sick and die. Having it distributed throughout the foodchain is the beginning of a slow painful death by radiation poisoning for large numbers of people on the planet.

The longer they leave this tragedy to continuing burning and emitting highly toxic radionuclides into atmosphere the more damage they are doing to the environment and the more human pain and suffering that will result because of it. It is not acceptable for the citizens of this planet to stand by and watch this slow motion train wreck as it threatens our entire existence!

Where are the corporations and people responsible for this mess now? They were more than happy to take the money to create the mess in the first place now when it comes to cleaning it up who is left with the task?

Official statistics on Japanese disaster

Keep in mind that with the radiation emitting from the Fukushima facility the total number of dead is sure to rise significantly.

Gulf Oil Disaster revisited

Recent news has made it to Al Jazeera that people in the gulf area are suffering from unprecedented internal levels of hazardous toxins like cancer causing Xylene resulting in many deaths and severe health effects such as cancer, blood in the urine, constant vomiting and other horrible affects. We were quick to point this out when the oil was flowing that the only rational solution was to nuke the breach and fuse the earth’s crust to prevent this tragedy from getting worse.

Instead they decided to let BP try and fix the problem. The problem that was caused by complete ineptitude and corruption at all levels. Then when they couldn’t manage to do it they had to get the Navy to manage the process but were not prepared to give them the resources they required to do the job correctly.

How is it that they can drop uranium cluster bombs on innocent Iraqis, drive nuclear submarines all over the world, have an arsenal of nuclear weapons that can destroy humanity 10 times over but they were too scared to use a nuke in their own back yard to stop the complete destruction caused by the greedy Elites thirst for oil profits.

They are also still using the highly toxic dispersant Corexit to attack oil plumes that keep rising out of the sea. Effectively causing the oil to stay drifting in the Gulf of Mexico permanently killing everything and anything in it’s path. As the toxic cloud swirls around in the ocean depths it causes death and destruction. Combined with Corexit it is turning the entire gulf into a deadzone.

The questions still remain.

Why aren’t the people who created the mess being held accountable?
Why did the Navy not chose to forcefully require the use of the nuclear option?
Why is the US Govt so addicted to oil as the solution to it’s energy needs when there are so many other options?

They have just last week allowed the first drilling platform to go back online in the Gulf. Do they even care that they are destroying their own backyard for the potential to extract enough oil to provide fuel for less than a day of consumption in the US?

Serious Political Message in this Music Video?

Judge for yourself. Is Qtip talking about the oil disaster, the financial crisis, the Aliens in the sky?

Are these artists telling us to revolt against the system and the hereditary elite, chop off their heads just like the French did?

Cruel world is sitting they got us all hitting
with late night divisions and lab aquisitions
with basement decisions defy our frequency
and you clearly decided on how to handle me

Imbecile, Imbecile
is it fake
is it real

Are we dying on our feet
Are we trying in our sleep

There’s a rumour going round that the suits are running town

if you look into the sky there are birds flying high, high, high

We’re never gonna believe in the stories that you’re weaving
We believing in the proof
We believing in the truth
We believing in each other not you, you, you

Stories, So many stories
Too many tall tales
So many tall tales

We climb the structure
You scale the ladder
You build it higher
You make us madder

So now the paradox
We bust you in the chops
You crazy ballhead

Make it dead
Do the web
Pictures on the web

Un Deux Trois
No one ever does it like that anymore
Bang Bang Bang
The feathers, why you deny everything
