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.

Greenpeace pilot trespasses on French nuclear site
A Greenpeace activist has flown a paraglider into a nuclear power plant in eastern France in a protest ahead of the presidential election runoff.

The activist with the environmental watch group used an engine-powered glider to trespass on the Bugey nuclear site early on Wednesday.

The man reportedly circled the plant and dropped a smoke bomb onto the roof of a reactor building before landing. Police arrested him the spot.

This is very disturbing to me because it illustrates the ease with which a benign entity could cause a major problem at any one of those facilities.
The only course that makes any sense is the demise of nuclear power generation in its present, insecure form.
If they can't be safe and secure, we don't need them.

BREAKING:ILlegal immigrants stealing BILLIONS and the IRS knows about it
Thread: SOMETHING WE ALL SHOULD KNOW:illegal immigrants stealing BILLIONS of dollars and the IRS knows it

I am not going to get angry just about a few illegals doing such a thing when we have the elites openly stealing Billions and Billions from everyone,illegals included.

Why the anger over the relatively small amount stolen by 'illegals'?

The Banksters stole a whole Country(Greece)for crying out loud.

A MESSAGE TO PEOPLE WHO LIVE

You are in a very real sense active participants in the Nation's atomic test program. You have been close observers of tests which have contributed greatly to building the defenses of our own country and of the free world. Nevada tests have helped us come a long way in a few, short years and have been a vital factor in maintaining the peace of the world. They also provide important data for use in planning civil defense measures to protect our people in event of enemy attack.

Same of you have been inconvenienced by our test operations. At times some of you have been exposed to potential risk from flash, blast, or fall-out. You have accepted the inconvenience or the risk without fuss, without alarm, and without panic. Your cooperation has helped achieve an unusual record of safety.
