Nov. 7 — Japan’s state-run TV station reported, “NHK asked 10 electric power companies that manage nuclear power plants if they have experienced attacks on their computer networks in the past year. Tokyo Electric Power Company, Hokkaido Electric Power Company and Tohoku Electric Power Company said they had received targeted cyber attacks.”

    Good attack the hell out of those pigphuckers!!! Hack all their logs and publish them for everyone to see. Everyone needs to know just how TEPCO and the other Japanese nuclear companies run their business because its a matter of planetary survival.

    I think it is more related to the infamous “Stuxnet” virus developped by israel, to neutralize the monitoring and sfaety system of nuclear power plant…

    Wasn’t what cost Fukushima, a default in the emergency program starting up.. ?!

    Israel made a test on the 16 Januray 2011, on teh Dimona complex.

    here is the article from the famous French newspaper (i Live in France) “le Monde” related to this test an the threat of this virus:

    If you read Japanese, it start to be spread out the fact that Fukushima is not an accident at all…

    STUXNET virus:

    http://www.lemonde.fr/technologies/article/2011/01/17/israel-aurait-teste-le-virus-stuxnet_1466770_651865.html

    “The Israeli intelligence and the U.S. collaborated in the development of computer virus Stuxnet intended to sabotage Iran’s nuclear program, reports, Sunday, Jan. 16, the New York Times.

    Israel tested the effectiveness of the virus, which apparently arrested a fifth of Iran’s centrifuges in November and has delayed the ability of Iran to produce its first nuclear weapons, according to military experts and intelligence cited by the U.S. daily.

    The test took place in the Dimona nuclear complex, located in the Negev desert, which houses the program undeclared Israeli nuclear weapons, the paper said. According to the sources, Israel has operated centrifuges almost identical to those used on the site of Iran’s Natanz, where Iranian scientists are trying to enrich uranium. The creation of this virus is an American-Israeli project with the help, voluntary or not, Britain and Germany, also show experts and officials on a daily basis.

    At the end of December, Moshe Yaalon, the Israeli Minister of Strategic Affairs, said that recent “difficulties” faced by Iran’s nuclear program had been delayed for several years the possible accession of the atomic bomb in Tehran.

    VIRUS EVOLUTION?

    Detected a few months ago, Stuxnet infects software Siemens industrial automation control, widely used in the water, oil rigs and power plants. Its function is to modify the management of certain activities to bring about physical destruction of facilities affected, experts said.

    Stuxnet would mainly hit Iran, which suggested that it was designed to sabotage its nuclear facilities, but it also seems to have hit India, Indonesia and Pakistan.

    The New York Times stresses that there is nothing to say for sure that these computer attacks are over, because, according to some experts, the virus code Stuxnet contains information necessary to…

    TEPCO is as all the nuclear companies all round the globe, corrupted and in only for the money, this is a no-brainer.

    But actually with this virus, STUXNET, that exists for a fact, your nuclear power plant can be at the top edge of safety and technology, or a old crap that should have been closed 10 years ago for safety reasons, doesn’t make any difference at all !

    No one ever wonders why Hilary went over there and came home so quietly? Her and the Israelis probably met with the Japanese and told them “the score” and that they were “bad bad people” for helping Iran.

    I would assume the Dimona complex is pretty common knowledge at this point regardless of what is really going on there. Also just the fact that the Israelis are a bunch of ruthless mother effers..nothing personal.

          SP: Because a one billion dollar loss to Areva is far better than trying to pay reparations to an entire destroyed country or other affected countries. Germany already has experience with terrible economic losses after the WWI reparations in the 1920s. It led to Schicklgruber’s (aka Adolph Hitler) rise to prominence.

          Rather than ask why this one powerhouse company is cutting its losses.. Look back at the early days of the 311 crisis and you will see many smart companies disavowed their participation in not only nuclear industries, but also Japan itself which they view as heading down the road to Mad Max misery.

      they wouldnt piss off any computer savy countries or 12 year olds though that might find the code to said virus and send it back home!! all nuclear is connected.. a close sweaty bunch of iaeas.. compacted into a small version of reality and that means the conditions are ripe for an emergent rogue virus…remember the iaeas membership includes reliable places like khazakstan….oops!! tony blairs favourite “green energy” project…well nuke project probaly! oops i digress!

        Israel did manufactured a super virus named STUXNET, state of the art AI (financed by US intelligence…)

        Here the article related to the test they made with this Virus on Iran, and the test in Dimona the 16 of january 2011:

        This virus is active on SIEMENS monitoring system.
        Fukushima was equipped with the last SIEMENS monitoring system.
        that is way also that SIEMENS say that they decided to retire from nuclear business, after Fukushima. (why not if they were not involved ???)

        To implant STUXNET you need an USB key or CD, because nuclear power plants are of grid.
        The israeli company MAGNA BSP was in charge of the security at Fukushima since August 2010. easy then…

            The overall business of nuclear for the past 30 years was a fraud..

            But that doesn’t exclude nonetheless that this was not the origin of the accident.

            Actually Israel is for what they stated as the “Samson Option”.

            Which means,: “either we rule the world, either we all die, israel included”.

            I don’t quite see TEPCO revealing that they were attacked by Israel.. This would be WW3 directly… Thermonuclare war (israel=200 nulcear heads !)

      There is no such thing as a Devil’s harmonic. Do you have a link. There is a devil’s interval which is two notes sounded together at the interval of a tritone which doesn’t sound very good, an augmented fourth or a diminished 5th (same thing). 440 Hertz is A4 and the standard for tuning of all modern orchestras.

In a chromatic scale, each whole tone can be further divided into two semitones. In this context, a tritone may also be defined as any interval spanning six semitones.

      “Since a chromatic scale is formed by 12 pitches, it contains 12 distinct tritones, each of which starting from a different pitch. According to a widely used naming convention, six of them are classified as augmented fourths, and the other six as diminished fifths. In a diatonic scale there’s only one tritone, classified as an augmented fourth. For instance, in the C major diatonic scale the only interval formed by three adjacent tones (F-G, G-A, and A-B) is that from F to B…”

        The earthquakes at Fukushima today were expected because of the rainfall spite in India-see the website imd.gov.in for the daily time series of all India rains. The spike on16 September 2011 was way higher- more than twice as high as the average for the day. This spike on top of the water mass contents behind the dams at the last 15 days of the monsoon and the changes in the high stress level of the rocks induced by the daily massive changes in dam contents at the fab end of the monsoons rival the tectonic forces or the cosmic forces and will trigger a major or great quake in the Pacific Ring of Fire before the monsoon has played out. Note also that because of the surges in daily rainfall being much greater than normal and the relentless increases in new dam capacity have caused the dams to exert such great water moments on the Antarctic rocks that hotspot clusters have occurred in this monsoon of 2011
        On 25th August and again on 9th September. These are significant fulcra to the water moments and their surges and result in melting of the ice by heat produced by friction. For rigid robust correlations which are scientifically meaningful between rainfall,hotspots,dam capacity changes and earthquakes as well as the seismic moment magnitudes see http://glaringlacuna.blogspot.com and other dam related urls there.

        However we should await further developments in March- possibility of other such earthquakes, because of the tremendous surges in dam water pressures generated at the centers of gravity of water masses behind dams in heavily dammed regions. Watch out for news!

        “Update time = Mon Mar 14 15:14:01 UTC 2011
        “There has been a sudden jump in the worldwide number of hotspots from 7589 on the 13th morning to 11966 on the 14th morning. This signifies a surge in worldwide dam contents- a huge sledge hammer effect at the centers of gravity of heavily dammed regions, notably in Asia. This is evident in the increase in the number of hotspots by an order of magnitude in the 75 to 95,95 to 105 and 105 to 115 longitude bands. There is also an ominous vanishing of hotspots in the Mexico to Haiti region. This means a strong to major earthquake may occur in the coming days in the Mexico to Haiti region or in Southern USA in the East or in the Western Ghats Region of India or in the longitude bands indicated above. Japan region may also have to be included in this prediction-for a major earthquake in the coming days.”

    “Experts believe that Stuxnet required the largest and costliest development effort in malware history.[21] Its many capabilities would have required a team of people to program, in-depth knowledge of industrial processes, and an interest in attacking industrial infrastructure.[3][8]

    “Eric Byres, who has years of experience maintaining and troubleshooting Siemens systems, told Wired that writing the code would have taken many man-months, if not years.[29]

    “Symantec estimates that the group developing Stuxnet would have consisted of five to ten people and as many as 30, and would have taken six months to prepare.[50][21]

    “The Guardian, the BBC and The New York Times all reported that experts studying Stuxnet considered that the complexity of the code indicates that only a nation state would have the capabilities to produce it.[10][50][51] The self-destruct and other safeguards within the code imply that a Western government was responsible, with lawyers evaluating the worm’s ramifications.[21]…”

    “Word on the street, for some time, has indicated that a version of the Stuxnet worm was found in the Fukushima Nuclear Plant control systems. This was detected months before the earthquake. Lots of geek-chatter about this, on the internet, months ago. I think that report is likely.

    “Therefore, a virus can’t affect the reactor control systems. The operator’s display panels are also non-programmable discrete electronics.

    “You’re right, using the reactor’s energy to pump coolant in an emergency seems like a good idea.
    All these reactors do after all is boil water. They are very expensive, very dangerous, and very toxic ways of boiling water, but just boilers all the same. Why these reactor-boilers can’t be made to be fail-safe in an emergency to a loss of electrical power is therefore perplexing. It seems like common sense to make them work that way. BWR/PWR reactor-boilers have a major design flaw of needing continuous electrical power to prevent a meltdown and explosion in an emergency situation (the station-blackout problem). It is worrying to think that the nuclear power industry are using such a dumb and dangerous design….”

        I’m against all nuclear because even when the plants are running the right way, they are continually spewing radiation into the environment which is destroying the world. The people who have to live near nuclear reactors have a much higher chance of getting cancer. The children have a 2X chance of getting leukemia. Even if there were no accidents, the radiation is accumulative, no way to get rid of it.

        The only reason we have nuclear power plants is to produce nuclear weapons, which are weapons of mass destruction and crimes against humanity.

    Solar Flare Could Unleash Nuclear Holocaust Across Planet Earth, Forcing Hundreds of Nuclear Power Plants Into Total Meltdowns

    “Every nuclear power plant operates in a near-meltdown state
    “All nuclear power plants are operated in a near-meltdown status. They operate at very high heat, relying on nuclear fission to boil water that produces steam to drive the turbines that generate electricity. Critically, the nuclear fuel is prevented from melting down through the steady circulation of coolants which are pushed through the cooling system using very high powered electric pumps.

    “If you stop the electric pumps, the coolant stops flowing and the fuel rods go critical (and then melt down). This is what happened in Fukushima, where the melted fuel rods dropped through the concrete floor of the containment vessels, unleashing enormous quantities of ionizing radiation into the surrounding environment. The full extent of the Fukushima contamination is not even known yet, as the facility is still emitting radiation.
    “It’s crucial to understand that nuclear coolant pumps are usually driven by power from the electrical grid. They are not normally driven by power generated locally from the nuclear power plant itself. Instead, they’re connected to the grid. In other words, even though nuclear power plants are generating megawatts of electricity for the grid, they are also dependant on the grid to run their own coolant pumps. If the grid goes down, the coolant pumps go down, too, which is why they are quickly switched to emergency backup power — either generators or batteries.

      “As we learned with Fukushima, the on-site batteries can only drive the coolant pumps for around eight hours. After that, the nuclear facility is dependent on diesel generators (or sometimes propane) to run the pumps that circulate the coolant which prevents the whole site from going Chernobyl. And yet, critically, this depends on something rather obvious: The delivery of diesel fuel to the site. If diesel cannot be delivered, the generators can’t be fired up and the coolant can’t be circulated. When you grasp the importance of this supply line dependency, you will instantly understand why a single solar flare could unleash a nuclear holocaust across the planet.

      “When the generators fail and the coolant pumps stop pumping, nuclear fuel rods begin to melt through their containment rods, unleashing ungodly amounts of life-destroying radiation directly into the atmosphere. This is precisely why Japanese engineers worked so hard to reconnect the local power grid to the Fukushima facility after the tidal wave — they needed to bring power back to the generators to run the pumps that circulate the coolant. This effort failed, of course, which is why Fukushima became such a nuclear disaster and released countless becquerels of radiation into the environment (with no end in sight)….”

      “How the end of modern civilization will most likely occur

      “As any sufficiently informed scientist will readily admit, solar flares have the potential to blow out the transformers throughout the national power grid. That’s because solar flares induce geomagnetic currents (powerful electromagnetic impulses) which overload the transformers and cause them to explode….”

    Rockefellers had nothing to do with the setting of concert pitch.

    Concert pitch

    “In 1939, an international conference recommended that the A above middle C be tuned to 440 Hz, now known as concert pitch. This standard was taken up by the International Organization for Standardization in 1955 and reaffirmed by them in 1975 as ISO 16. The difference between this and the diapason normal is due to confusion over the temperature at which the French standard should be measured. The initial standard was A = 439 Hz (info), but this was superseded by A = 440 Hz after complaints that 439 Hz was difficult to reproduce in a laboratory because 439 is a prime number.[6]
    “Despite such confusion, A = 440 Hz is the only official standard and is widely used around the world. Many orchestras in the United Kingdom adhere to this standard as concert pitch.[7] In the United States some orchestras use A = 440 Hz, while others, such as New York Philharmonic and the Boston Symphony Orchestra, use A = 442 Hz.[8] Nearly all modern symphony orchestras in Germany and Austria and many in other countries in continental Europe (such as Russia, Sweden and Spain) play with tune to A = 443 Hz. A = 442 Hz is also often used as tuning frequency in Europe,[2] especially in Denmark, France, Hungary, Italy, Norway and Switzerland.[9]
    “In practice the orchestras tune to a note given out by the oboe, and many oboists use an electronic tuning device. When playing with fixed-pitch instruments such as the piano, the orchestra will generally tune to them—a piano will normally have been tuned to the orchestra’s normal pitch. Overall, it is thought that the general trend since the middle of the 20th century has been for standard pitch to rise, though it has been rising far more slowly than it has in the past. Some orchestras like the Berliner Philharmoniker now use a slightly lower pitch (443 Hz) than their highest previous standard (445 Hz).[10][2]

    Engineers Knew Fukushima Might Be Unsafe, But Covered It Up … And Now the Extreme Vulnerability of NEW U.S. Plants Is Being Covered Up

    “In 2004, Leuren Moret warned in the Japan Times of the exact type of nuclear catastrophe that Japan is now experiencing:
    “’Japan sits on top of four tectonic plates, at the edge of the subduction zone, and is in one of the most tectonically active regions of the world.
    ***
    “’Many of those reactors have been negligently sited on active faults, particularly in the subduction zone along the Pacific coast, where major earthquakes of magnitude 7-8 or more on the Richter scale occur frequently. The periodicity of major earthquakes in Japan is less than 10 years. There is almost no geologic setting in the world more dangerous for nuclear power than Japan — the third-ranked country in the world for nuclear reactors.
    “’”I think the situation right now is very scary,” says Katsuhiko Ishibashi, a seismologist and professor at Kobe University. “It’s like a kamikaze terrorist wrapped in bombs just waiting to explode.”

    “As the US Geological Survey notes, Japan has had many earthquakes, including:

He said the electric companies are “gambling in a dangerous game to increase profits and decrease government oversight.”

    The Geology of Fukushima

    At a time when everyone is wondering where the coriums of the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant may be, it is interesting to know the nature of the terrain where they could possibly be hiding. Although all documents used to write this article are readily available, most are in Japanese and this explains that to date knowledge of the geology of Fukushima is fragmented. Based on the geological survey that was conducted prior to building the plant, as well as on results of seismic testing and recent research related to drilling, this article will attempt to give an updated picture of the nature of the substratum of the nuclear plant, which may help to predict possible developments in the currently unfolding disaster. …

    it is funny that you speak about “conspiracy theory”, while i’ve just credited article from the “New York Times” and “Le Monde”…

    But maybe you know also the work of the Los Angeles journalist Jim Stone

    Actually what nobody seems willing to know, it is that seismologic survey recorded a 6.4 earthquake with multiple epicenter” !!!!
    Not 8.8~9 as that what conveniently explained (to justify the destruction on the site…)

    Again, you have to read Japanese to get to know that…

    if you want what a 9 earthquake looks like, looks at pictures from Kobe…

    You dont seem to understand that this blog is not about conspiracy theories.Facts are shocking enough. Tepco had no plugs for auxiliar electricity. It was a Mark 1 GE reactor with the technology out of the Fifties with all the problems an adapted USS Nautilus reactor has. To install Stuxnet on a SIEMENS scheduling software requires computers and a USB Port or a CD. You wont find that in Fukushima. Nuclear Energy itself is too dangerous, there is no conspirator needed at all.

    Jim Stone is so far out there with his conspiracy theory it actually makes sense and a ton of the pieces fit together very nicely. And well, nothing personal again…we know the Israelis can be a bunch of MEAN MOFO’s

    I love the “conspiracy theory” term, always make me laugh ;)
    It is so far negatively connoted by now, lol

    I don’t care if it the Israeli or Santa Claus who made it, It is not about having to hate someone or another.

    Just the proof that Fukushima is one of this event, corroborating the use of “Silent Weapons for a Quiet War” (you certainly know the book).

    If you read Jim Stone’s website, you will see that he never mentions MOX fuel which was in reactor #3. He is against closing down nuclear plants such as Vermont Yankee. He obviously is pro nuclear plant. He can’t see anything wrong with the cover-ups of TEPCO in the past as to the lack of safety at Fukushima.
    If you want to continue more and more nuclear power plants, then he is your man.
    I find him to be a industry shill.

    Actually a brand new SIEMENS system was installe din Fukushima, that explains also the reaction of SIEMENS that definitivly want to retire from nuclear business…
    So yes, there informatic monitoring system was brand knew, and SIEMENS.

    You know also, that Magna BSP, and israeli compagny, was the security contractor for Fukishima power plan, since August 2010.
    Very easy in this case, to bring a USB key…
