Japan nears nuclear shutdown
Financial Times

May 3, 2012
[...] Japan had hoped to have several reactors back on line this month after initial stress tests ordered in the aftermath of last year’s disaster. But local opposition has delayed the restart.The International Energy Agency, the oil watchdog of western countries, says a “no-nuclear scenario” could not be ruled out for Japan as public opinion, channelled through local governments, “remains sceptical concerning the nuclear industry”.
Local authorities so far have prevented the restart of the number 3 and 4 units at Kansai Electric Power’s Ohi nuclear plant [...]
Other local authorities have said they plan to oppose the restart of plants within their area even if the atomic generators pass the stress tests.
August Assumption
The Paris-based IEA assumes that some nuclear plants will be restarted in early August [...]The agency’s two previous assumptions of some nuclear power coming back in August 11 and February 12 proved too optimistic.
Follow the Money
Many in the oil and gas market believe that Japan may go without nuclear power this year, further tightening the global oil market and the regional LNG Asian market.

It is unfathomable that anyone even remotely affiliated with nuclear power, especially the IEA, would be advocating anything but the shutdown of nuclear power plants in every single country in the world.. At what point does the metaphorical light bulb go off in their heads and they collectively concede, "Wow! All of these plants are leaking, aging and will require upkeep for thousands of generations that follow. Between that, solar flares, and the likelihood of many natural disasters affecting these aging nuclear power plants, we must shut them down!"
I think those who control this matrix have convinced themselves that Armageddon is around the corner, which is why they don't car about the GOM, Fukushima, or the upcoming nuclear war in the Middle East. Goldman Sachs probably has a team of psychics, astrologists and remote viewers on their payroll.

It is totally unfathomable! Its almost like the nuclear advocates are a different species – not playing with a full deck of human chromosomes. They are industry programmed automotons which do not have the capability of critical thinking or reasoning. They only know what they are told to know, and have none of the human qualities of caring, compassion, or empathy. They are truly evil.

I hadn't thought of it, but you are right. They do act as if they are a different species, and therefore are immune.

Maybe they really ARE those Lizards that David Icke talks about.
Report Comment
Kelly from my files: "The US National Academy of Sciences report concluded in 2007 that no dose of radiation is safe. The radiation exposures are cumulative in effect in causing cancer, x-rays and CAT scans included.
The WHO stated in 1956 that the genetic heritage is the most precious property for human beings.
BUT THEN The IAEA fixed all that on May 28, 1959 when they took charge of the UN's WHO statements.

They are thinking about feeding themselves today. And maybe their kids…
Their job is set up so that they do not have to take the responsibility of doing something that may be harmful. Its this human trait that keeps soldiers fighting wars, cops oppressing other humans, and Politicians writing tyrannical laws.
Like it or not this is the bed we have been making all along. Im not so sure that its Nuke power that is the issue. It may be us all along.

Kelly: Take a close look at pro-nukes. These people are on the payroll of nuke interests. They are the interests profiting from the nukes, the ones who own the stocks and bonds of the utilities, the ones who will go looking for a nuke industry job when they leave government, the ones who go to the nuke industry with palms up come election time. The nuke industry is a vast pot of gold, enough for everyone involved to get a large share, one way or another. They will only be shut down when the public outcry overbalances the money interests that keep it all going.

At 8:33 a.m. EST [or 21:33 on the TEPCO Live Cam timestamp] – The usual radioactive mist was spraying around in the dark when the ‘fireball’ doubled in size and the screen turned to this:

ALERT ——–Colorado 627
No clue on what is happening,

lol the guy set off his own g counter….how embarresing, eh?

The details are kind of interesting. The radiation network admin said this in chat:
"Just talked to Turkey Creek by phone. He had just returned from a medical test, having been administered a radioactive isotope, and inadvertenetly set off the alert system from many feet away."
The effect on radiation network users was pretty dramatic: loud klaxon horn sound; red flashing alert popup, warning of four hundred and something CPM. Just the way you'd want it to behave for the real thing, but nerve-wracking for this kind of event.
Makes you think about medical radiation doses though – nobody would have a clue if it weren't for the growing network of private GC owners. Yes, Grandpa just visited the hospital – go sit on his knee and tell him what happened at school today.

Hi Aigeezer. I had forgotten you were one of the people with a monitor on RadiationNetwork. Interesting, as I posted some information about today's false alert on the Radiation Monitoring section a bit earlier today. Did you see it?
It was a strange coincidence, but the guy named Joey from Colorado who runs the Pachube radiation monitor out of Longmont that Anne keeps posting readings from, also got a spike at the same time as the Turkey Point RN guy. Strange, huh? Joey has another monitor tracking solar activity, so he said the spike on his monitor was from a solar flare…
But how weird they both detected a spike from different sources at the same time, huh? What's the chance of that happening?
Anyway, it's good to see you are involved in the monitoring. We need all the help we can get without any cooperation from official sources like the EPA.
Thank you for your efforts!

all these jobs that require the continuence of, say hunger. or crime. or evil Nuke power….
…..you know, if they eradicated any of this stuff…..they wouldnt have a job.
its pretty shocking but, Man will kill his neighbor to feed his family. Here you have proof.

Nah, there'll be plenty jobs for nuke people: designing, developing, building, installing, and maintaining solar and wind power for homes and industry. We need to get this going now. No reason to wait.
