What The World Might Look Like After A Nuclear Disaster: Chernobyl 30 Years On
A Snapshot Of A Post-Disaster Renaissance: 30 Years After Chernobyl It’s obviously a scenario anyone but a madman would dread: dealing with the aftermath of a nuclear accident. Five years after the Fukushima disaster, scientists are still grappling with the long-term consequences. But as horrific as that catastrophe was–and will likely continue to be for generations to come–we do have one other extant example of what the world or at least a small part of it might look like in the wake of a nuclear disaster.… Read the rest

Major Radioactive Leak Leads to Shutdown at Indian Kakrapar Atomic Power Station (KAPS) Nuclear Station
It’s been five years since the Fukushima disaster, and nuclear isotopes are washing up on US shores in increasing amounts. Will India be the next source of nuclear calamity? The nuclear reactor down the street from where you live? When will we learn? When will be compel the Nuclear Industry, world-wide, to develop and use real technologies that can actually clean up the mess once and for all? Take Action Here: http://TinyURL.com/FukushimaHope.

Fukushima 5 Years After: Free Ebook Now Available
Given that conventional nuclear engineering has nothing to offer the clean-up of what is arguably the most devastating nuclear accident in the history of the planet, unconventional solutions that work are essential. Following a chilling discussion of the real risk levels posed by Fukushima by world-renowned radiation risk expert Dr. Chris Busby, scientists focused on how to deal with the situation as it is and the answers may well astonish you.

Acad of Sci: High Background Radiation Linked to 10-14x Higher Cancer Risk. You Think?
National Institutes of Science Notices the Unsurprising: Denied for Decades, Now Confirms: People Living in Areas of High Background Radiation are at Higher Cancer Risk, Downs Syndrome Increased 300%, etc. Why Did It Take Decades? For years, “official’ scientists have insisted that the risk of cancer or birth defects while living in areas with high radiation levels was negligible.   In an example of bought-and-paid-for science, they refuted, ignored or distorted the independent and contradictory science that thwarted their assurances that radiation was not bad for you, it was fine for you and in fact, was actually good for you. … Read the rest

Fukushima Onsite Inspection Shows Hopeless Contamination – Arnie Gunderson
Arnie Gunderson, Chief Engineer for FaireWinds Energy Education, reports onsite from Fukushima prefecture, giving us a sorrowful, but precise, picture of what a post nuclear site looks like*: Abandoned homes no one will ever live in again 3″0 million plastic bags of radioactive debris weighing a total of 30 million tons dotting the farms and fields, front yards and roads 19 counts per second of plutonium in a square meter of earth, a deadly radioactive compound which does not occur in nature of which a single molecule can, and does, cause cancer Cesium levels 25,000,000 Bequerels per kilogram of material (2.2 pounds) New high tech radiation control incinerators with a capacity so small, 10 tons per day, that combustion of the radioactive debris will take  a thousand years “Monkey poop” collected from monkeys that live in the hillsides with 50,000 Becquerels (1 Bequerel = 1 radioactive decay per second) “Decontamination” of areas that are re-contaminated because cleaning takes place only within 20 feel of the roadside so any rainfall or movement of dirt or dust recontaminates the area “Towns” opened during the day for decontamination workers which are closed at night because it is too dangerous to stay that many hours in the area Background counts in Fukushima City of 40 counts per minute but 10 times higher in the hills.… Read the rest
