Cesium exceeding new limit detected in 51 food items in 9 prefectures
Radioactive cesium was detected in 51 food products from nine prefectures in excess of a new government-set limit in the first month since it was introduced on April 1, according to data released by the health ministry on Tuesday.


The limit was exceeded in 337 cases, or 2.4 percent of 13,867 food samples examined by the Health, Labor and Welfare Ministry.

Hey there all..if you have'nt already,you have got to see the images from the National Geographic this Week of Sprirals,Double Spirals,Pentagrams,Squares,Triangles etc!

Here is a video of the amazingly strange and near perfect shapes:

I know it's off-topic but I know you all will be very interested to see this if you have'nt.

Notice how most of the Spirals appear to be Fibonacci in Nature?!

Just simply astounding and completely confusing.

The official line is that they believe them to be formed via Volcanism.

Hmm,really?

Japan, Kazakhstan to cooperate on decontamination
Japan and Kazakhstan have agreed to cooperate in cleaning up areas tainted by radiation after last year's accident at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant.

Japanese industry minister Yukio Edano met his Kazakh counterpart Asset Issekeshev in Kazakhstan on Tuesday.

Edano asked for Kazakhstan's cooperation in decontaminating areas around the Fukushima plant.

US, Japan to team up on nuclear power, rare earths
Japan and the United States are to expand their nuclear energy cooperation and begin collaboration on the development of alternatives to rare earth minerals.

The 2 governments announced the agreement in a statement released after a summit meeting in Washington on Monday.

It says the 2 nations will set up a vice ministerial-level panel to discuss private-sector use of nuclear power, based on lessons learned from last year's accident at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.

Kyoto: Govt explanation on Ohi insufficient
A Kyoto prefectural official says the government's explanations on the safety of the Ohi nuclear power plant are insufficient to restart its reactors.

The official spoke to a senior representative from the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency, Tetsuya Yamamoto, at the Kyoto Prefectural hall on Tuesday.

Yamamoto explained that the entire government is dedicated to putting fresh safety standards in place following the Fukushima accident.

But the Kyoto official, who heads the crisis management team, replied that it is unclear to what extent the nuclear safety commission was involved in devising the standards.

"US Senator Roy Wyden, after his visit to the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant on 6 April, 2012, issued a press release on 16 April, pointing out the catastrophic risk of Fukushima Daiichi Unit 4, calling for urgent US government intervention. Senator Wyden also sent a letter to Ichiro Fujisaki, Japan’s Ambassador to the United States, requesting Japan to accept international assistance to tackle the crisis."

wow....

Concerning the extraction of fuel debris, which is considered the most challenging process, "There is no technology which may be directly applied," said Morant. He added, however, that knowledge concerning the extraction of damaged fuel, which was obtained through the use of research reactors, and remote underwater cutting technology, as used for the Zion nuclear power station in the United States, may be applied to some extent.

Coalition requests UN intervention to stabilize Spent Fuel Pool No. 4 at Fukushima — Endorsed by nuclear experts (

We Japanese civil organizations express our deepest concern that our government does not inform its citizens about the extent of risk of the Fukushima Daiichi Unit 4 spent nuclear fuel pool. Given the fact that collapse of this pool could potentially lead to catastrophic consequences with worldwide implications, what the Japanese government should be doing as a responsible member of the international community is to avoid any further disaster by mobilizing all the wisdom and the means available in order to stabilize this spent nuclear fuel. It is clearly evident that Fukushima Daiichi Unit 4 spent nuclear fuel pool is no longer a Japanese issue but an international issue with potentially serious consequences. Therefore, it is imperative for the Japanese government and the international community to work together on this crisis before it becomes too late. We are appealing to the United Nations to help Japan and the planet in order to prevent the irreversible consequences of a catastrophe that could affect generations to come. We herewith make our urgent request to you as follows:

1. The United Nations should organize a Nuclear Security Summit to take up the crucial problem of the Fukushima Daiichi Unit 4 spent nuclear fuel pool.

2. The United Nations should establish an independent assessment team on Fukushima Daiichi Unit 4 and coordinate international assistance in order to stabilize the unit’s spent nuclear fuel and prevent radiological consequences with potentially catastrophic consequences.

About time you think?

THANKS, for the continued attention to this Life Threatening situation, water bug !

Yours and the Aussies reports/remarks and bits of information have even caused the Atom-Ploy to restrict his obfuscations/outright attacks and 'appear' to have intelligence, lol !
