We need to get rid of the money system seriously.
Report Comment
And do what? Go back to the barter system? hahaha. Nothing is wrong with the system, it’s just people didn’t take Nuclear Energy seriously. It’s easy to say, “Nuclear Energy is just a game of risk.” But the thing is, if you incorporate the right safety precautions, none of this would have happened. Having a backup power source above the tsunami would have saved Fukushima, and also having a higher water barrier. Simple.
Report Comment
They were told for at least 18 years the barrier was too low, and shined the guy on. Something tells me some key thing or other like that has been ignored at many other plants as well. So It’s only a matter of time before their game of risk comes up snake eyes for us all.
There’s a reasonable probability of generalized warfare at some point in the next 20 years. If I were a general for some nation or other, I might think of the other country’s spent fuel pools as low-hanging fruit…
Report Comment
I think the reports are likely right about the Daiichi reactors having been doomed by the quake breaking pipes. And I think the tsunamis just sealed their fate.
Daini, remember, has what, 4 more reactors, at which an accident(s) is in admittance already.
We need to keep some kind of money system, but not one that requires everyone to have a number to buy and sell, or take a chip. Chips are already getting microscopic, too. There are RFID inks, and RFID dust.
Some woman attacked a hospital in Missouri today, and claimed she did it because the hospital microchipped her. Most people would think she was crazy. Maybe she is. I don’t dismiss about anything, anymore.

Hey CB! Good to see you back. I didn’t remember that either, so went looking and found this NYTimes article dated March 18th that said:
“On Wednesday, the American Embassy in Tokyo, on advice from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, told Americans to evacuate a radius of “approximately 50 miles” from the Fukushima plant. South Korea, Australia and New Zealand followed suit in advice to their citizens, and Spanish authorities on Thursday recommended an either wider berth, about 75 miles, news agencies reported.”
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/18/world/asia/18nuclear.html?pagewanted=all
From Wikipedia:
“Spain advised to leave an area of 120 km, Germany advised to leave even the metropolitan area of Tokyo, and South Korea advised to leave farther than 80 km and plans to evacuate by all possible means.”
https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Japanese_reaction_to_Fukushima_Daiichi_nuclear_disaster
From the Guardian:
“China has already withdrawn its nationals. The US, Canada and Australia are expected to do the same.”
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/mar/17/fukushima-nuclear-threat-expats-leave
From Bloomberg:
“The U.K. advised British nationals to consider leaving the area near the Fukushima plant as well as Tokyo, which is 135 miles to the south. Germany and France advised citizens to consider leaving Japan, while Belgium and Norway recommended leaving the nation. Governments and airlines in France, Russia, Belgium, Sri Lanka and China made airplanes available for citizens wishing to evacuate.”

Excellent read here if anyone missed it:
http://enformable.com/2012/01/fukushima-docs-2-i-feel-like-crying/
~snip~ “Protect the industry first and foremost” is not the job description of the federal government agency tasked with regulating the industry so that it abides by requirements intended to prevent harm to the general public.
This fills in Part I: Who Knew What When. This establishes clearly that the NRC and American nuclear industry leaders were very much aware of the situation in Japan, thus entirely unable to legitimately claim at any later date that they “didn’t know” how bad it was.
The world nuclear industry and their governments went along with it even though some individuals strongly suspected the truth would come back to bite them on the ass. Once your credibility has been blown to kingdom come, what in the world would make them think the public will ever trust them again?

Japan, the world, should still be offering to evacuate Japan wherever that is needed. Non-protectionist, non-capitalist, compassion-based cooperation and sharing are the only things that work in real crises like this.

Dear Whoopie: I’m pretty certain that both figures are minimization disinformation, the usual. Surely the figures are far higher with Fukushima being so many hundreds to thousands of times worse than Chernobyl, ocean or no ocean.

If I recall correctly, after the US had set that expanded evacuation range of far greater than that set by the Japanese government, it was then that the other countries had also moved to set that evacuation distance of the noted 80 km/ 50 miles. My guess at that time was that the other countries were only following the lead of the US, perhaps as to error on the side of caution.
France was the only one after that I do recall that mentioned the need to evacuate from Tokyo. Unknown however at that time as the logical reasoning for them doing so. A question that remains open at this point is of how many other countries got wind of the SPEEDI data, as the US may have not been the only one.
