*** Fukushima *** and other nuclear-----updates and links

"But before we can tame this monster, we have to admit that Fukushima is one of the top short-term threats to humanity and deploy the resources necessary to develop the required technologies."

Yes, and to quote Walt Disney (song from It's a Small World ride) "There is just one moon and one golden sun"

This song has been kicking around in my head for the last few hours. It's a Small, Small, World.

Energy Company Plans to Frack a Volcano
AltaRock Energy and Davenport Newberry, the companies behind the $43 million plan, have been granted a permit to hydrofrack the hot rocks flanking the Newberry volcano in Oregon, where Davenport Newberry has secured federal leases on 62 square miles of land. This will involve injecting water into a series of cracks in the rocks at a high enough pressure that it reaches three kilometres beneath the surface, fracturing connected veins of rock to access the heat beneath and creating a series of connected geothermal reservoirs in the process. Water will be introduced to these reservoirs, where heat from the rocks will turn it to steam, which then turns turbines at surface-level to generate electricity.

I know it's a bit off topic, but I thought it would be good to share. My concern is they won't know if it works or not till after they try it out. We have family in this area. I have always liked Oregon being pretty small on the doom meter.

we have huge fracing for gas operations by lease here in australia... the amount of chemicals they use is higly toxic to melt through the rock.... bit scary ... dunno either...

This area is part of the "Three Sisters" volcanoes. We also have the undersea volcano off the Oregon Coast. I believe these are connected underground. Theoretically, it could activate the Cascadia Subduction Fault. That would not be good. But then I would have ocean front property if the big one really hit. GLP has ruined me...I see doom in this.

Edano says no to Kaminoseki nuclear plant project
The head of Japan's industry ministry says it will not allow a power company to start building a nuclear plant in Yamaguchi Prefecture, western Japan.

At a news conference on Friday, Yukio Edano referred to a plan by the Chugoku Electric Power Company to build the plant in Kaminoseki Town.

He said the government's new energy policy rules out new construction of nuclear plants, and that Chugoku Electric's plan is subject to this principle.

Japan's new nuclear regulator stages 1st drill
Japan's Nuclear Regulation Authority, or NRA, has staged its first emergency drill since its launch in September.

The drill on Friday was based on a scenario involving a massive earthquake and resulting power blackout at a nuclear fuel reprocessing plant in Rokkasho, in the northern prefecture of Aomori.

TEPCO releases more Fukushima conference footage
Tokyo Electric Power Company has released more footage of its teleconferences from the early days of the Fukushima nuclear accident last year.

The utility released a 6-hour-long video on its website on Friday at the request of media.

The video shows exchanges between the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant and the firm's head office in Tokyo during the 5 days from March 11th, 2011, after a massive earthquake and tsunami disabled the plant.

Reactors to be allowed to resume once they are confirmed safe: Edano
Nuclear reactors that are confirmed safe by Japan's new regulatory body will be allowed to resume operation for the meantime without additional assessment by the government, industry minister Yukio Edano said Friday in an attempt to clarify the reactivation process.

"We decided in the new energy strategy that reactors will be used as an important power source once they are confirmed safe," he told a news conference, adding the government sees no need to further assess the restart of individual reactors in terms of power supply and demand.

And Edano needs to be put to the sword for line-dancing........

no, he's just fuked off with your pro nuclear deathist shit. -i think your countrys spewed enough crap.
fooling no one, -no one with 'sense'/feeling..

arguments sources and materials?

ummmm.. click my link in my post-mortum for my chronological site you disintresting atoms.. paid by tepco.. always tepco.... seems that you still have balls to hover around anything that speaks to the truth.. yesterday were released 3 different statements saying that diachii cannot be resolved with current technology... you gunna sit there and die till then????.. good luck sucker for your pay it's not worth dying..... ty man fgor bringing his disgusting statement up..... AB.. your as dead know as in the world that you breathe... gld...

You must be new because i am not Pro Nuke,
it was not "my Country" that caused this Accident!

I am a Realist only and you are free to exchange
your Information with me, i welcome it!

1. atom is your call sign

2. statements as yours, and lack of any empirical evidence are, degoratory, and never state fact, nor probabilities...

3. GTFO and start your own lame Pro-Nuke thread... gtfo........ oops.. forgot you did.. and it was an epic fail.........

4. i have shared with you my impiracal study of the timeline of the disaster, and you refuse to use any evidential based timeline yourslf.... GTFO.....

atom boy = tepco shills, differnt tepco shills employed to rally support for resuming nuclear power in japan and engineer peoples perceptions of nuclear power and the fukushima disaster.

bingo............

RUSSIA DID IT WITH THE NORTON *SIEMANTIC* (SYMANTEC)

GAME SERVERS AND NUCLEAR POWER DON'T MIX...

OH WE BETTER YOU BET.

ALWRONGY THEN....

ARE WE FINISHED? WHY YES, YES WE ARE.






SUCH A GUNNER. YOU KNOW WHEN THE PERPETRATORS ALWAYS HAVE THE INSIDE SKIVEY. BY-THE-BYE WE FINISHED.

Sequoyah Unit 2 Steam Generator Replacement

This fall, the four Unit 2 steam generators at Sequoyah Nuclear Plant are being replaced as part of TVA's ongoing efforts to maintain safe, quality performance and to sustain reliable production of energy for customers of TVA power.

In this video, a large crane lifts tons of steel more than 250 feet above the Sequoyah Unit 2 reactor shield building dome, then lowers the pieces to the top of the dome where ironworkers secure them to built concrete piers to form the super structure.

Fennovoima may pick Toshiba reactor over Areva's
Finnish nuclear consortium Fennovoima may choose Japan's Toshiba reactor over Areva's for its nuclear plant in northern Finland as Toshiba's cooling system is better, daily Helsingin Sanomat reported on Friday.

Fennovoima has received offers from the two companies and it is due to decide next year who will deliver the reactor to its Pyhajoki plant.

"Both power plants have a completely electricity free cooling system, but Toshiba has implemented it slightly better," Juhani Hyvarinen, Fennovoima's nuclear engineering chief, told the paper.

AEHI Considering Small Modular Reactors for Proposed Idaho Nuclear Power Plant Site - Potential for Other Western Sites
BOISE, Idaho, Oct. 3, 2012 -- Alternate Energy Holdings, Inc. (OTC:AEHI; www.aehipower.com) today announced the company is exploring the use of small modular reactors (SMR) on its proposed nuclear power plant site in Payette County, Idaho. These designs have progressed to the point of consideration now as they have gotten much closer to the Federal approval stage.

SMRs range between 45 and 220 MWe and because of their modular and easily expandable design, their implementation can be very flexible based on future energy needs.

LIMERICK: FIRE SAFE SHUTDOWN ANALYSIS FAILED TO IDENTIFY UNPROTECTED CABLE
During logic and cable routing reviews for Multiple Spurious Operations (MSO), an existing unprotected cable issue was identified that impacts the D22 emergency Diesel Generator (EDG) output breaker. This unprotected cable could fail due to fire damage in fire area 067W when the associated 4kV safeguard bus is credited for Post-Fire Safe Shutdown.
