Tokyo Electric Power Co (TEPCO) said cesium equivalent to 254,000 becquerels per kilogram—or 2,540 times more than the government seafood limit—was detected in a “murasoi” fish. The fish, similar to rockfish, was caught at a port inside the Fukushima plant, a TEPCO spokesman said. [link to www.japantoday.com] . |

Community, Environmentalists, Teamsters Tell EPA: Stop Nuclear Fires at Republic Landfill in Missouri [link to www.mediawebsite.net] [snip] While the EPA has refused to take action to remove the radioactive wastes for decades, the recent fire at the landfill has caught the attention of local officials and the greater St. Louis community. "We have members who live near and around the landfill. We also have members who work on the site, and we believe that the nonunion workers who work under Republic's thumb deserve protection as well. The fire on its own is a big problem. What if the landfill fire were to reach the radioactive waste?" said Marv Kropp, President of Teamsters Joint Council 13. "Landfill fires can burn on for years and expand—just look at what happened to Republic's landfill in Centerville, Ohio—a fire that raged for years until state officials and the EPA finally stepped up and forced real action on the part of the company," Kropp added. "Our community can no longer tolerate delays—we're sitting on a ticking toxic time bomb," said Lara Granich, Director of Missouri Jobs with Justice "Now is the time that the EPA and Republic Services must act." |

The contract is worth around €300 million and is expected to run for five and a half years. The design studies will begin in April 2013 and the main civil engineering works in autumn 2013. The main building will house the Tokamak reactor, a 28 m-diameter cylinder, 29 m high and weighing 23,000 tonnes). With the two adjacent annexes, this will form a concrete structure 120 m long, 80m wide and 80m high. [link to www.nucpros.com] . |

Deployed over two separate units at the AREVA Tricastin site (France), the South and the North plants, Georges Besse II produced its first commercial SWU in 2011 using the centrifuge enrichment technology. With this technology, Georges Besse II offers the best guarantees in terms of technical reliability, energy saving and environmental impact. [link to www.nucpros.com] . |

Can't clean it up.. so they'll use a public relations blitz.. "Greenwashing" Rocketdyne [link to www.vcreporter.com] [snip] Aerospace giant Boeing plans to declare the former Rocketdyne site in the Simi Hills clean enough for public open space, even with recent findings of high radiation in the soil and continued chemical releases headed toward the Los Angeles River. A new public relations campaign targeting local and national media outlets will recast the Santa Susana Field Laboratory (SSFL) in a more positive light, according to documents revealed online and obtained by the Ventura County Reporter. The plan seeks to erase SSFL’s infamously polluted past, which includes at least three partial meltdowns, countless spills and mishaps involving radiation and chemicals, and open burn pits where some of the most lethal toxins ever made were set ablaze. Now the soil and groundwater are highly contaminated. |

Southern OR User ID: 20471008 United States 01/19/2013 11:13 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Fukushima debris hits Hawaii Debris set adrift by the 2011 Japanese tsunami has made its way to Hawaii, triggering concerns over the unknown effects of the radiation it may carry from the meltdown of the Fukushima reactor. Debris has washed ashore the islands of Oahu and Kauai and the state’s Department of Health has been asked to test some of the incoming material for radiation levels. Refrigerator parts, oyster buoys, housing insulation, storage bins, soda bottles, toys, fishing nets, plastic trash cans and even Japanese net boats have all washed up on Hawaiian sands in the past few weeks, triggering serious environmental concerns over both water pollution and radiation exposure.
