US Nuclear Industry’s Response To Fukushima Shaped By BP Oil Spill, Dow Jones Newswires by Tennille Tracy, May 26, 2011:
The U.S. nuclear power industry, when responding to concerns raised by the nuclear disaster in Japan, leaned on lessons learned from the oil industry’s response to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, a top official with the Nuclear Energy Institute said Thursday.
The institute, the main trade group for nuclear power companies, crafted emergency plans and developed a communication strategy after analyzing the events surrounding the April 2010 spill in the Gulf of Mexico, Tony Pietrangelo, NEI’s chief nuclear officer said.
“We were fortunate, I think, as an industry,” Pietrangelo said before a panel of nuclear specialists that works with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Following the BP PLC Deepwater Horizon explosion last year, “we kind of did a lessons-learned on that–how we would apply that to our industry if we had an event like that.” [...]

everyone knows bp released a synthetic bacterium into the gom to digest the oil, right?
underwater corexit tanks releasing dispersal agent at site of leak to minimize oil voxel size and enhance rate of digestion by said artificial life.

Jesus Christ, BP didn’t handle that situation at all. People get sick from swimming in the gulf now. There are areas of water that are volatile if exposed to a flame.
BP has lied and helped nothing in Louisiana.

WTF! Seriously! These “people” think that they are so far above everyone that they can say or do anything and the masses will just shrug and move on. We are just sheeple to them. A means to an end. I believe in KARMA and Karma is a MF! If we do not stand against this assault on our environment and lives, then we deserve to be treated as trash. I can only hope for a sheeple spring that makes the arab spring look like an art class in kindergarten. WTF! I am absolutely screamin fxckin pissed off!

BP’s communication strategy of covering up, lying, and denying was very effective. Throw in millions of dollars of advertising that they’re going to “Make this right”, and now the GOM is all cleaned up and the seafood is safe.
This man is implying that if a nuclear accident happens, we can expect the same NON-communication strategy. And for those of us affected by the BP oil spill, it is rather insulting for it to be considered just a training exercise for the nuclear industry.

The nuke industry learned the same lesson from BP that the US military learned in Vietnam – Control the media – That’s it, don’t do anything positive, tell the truth or admit how bad the situation really is.
All that needs to be done is feed the media your story and the US public will never question your statements.
Facts don’t matter, we thrive on image and soothing words.
As long as football, baseball, basketball, and nascar are on the tube and macd’s is open we’re all happy.

Tony Pietrangelo is a Salesman for the Nuclear Industry. The NEI is an industry backed PR Firm for the promotion of Nuclear proliferation.

Pietrangelo is a rat in proverbial pudding pushing every industry lie without respect for real science.

Oh and Guess who he worked for before his cushy NEI fat cat job-
WESTINGHOUSE ELECTRIC! Thats right the Nuclear Giant.
Guess what he did- Oversee AND promote the building of nuclear power plants.
Guess who owns Westinghouse Electric- TOSHIBA GROUP
Guess who received the cleanup contract, worth billions, for this tragedy- TOSHIBA
WOW! Way to go … Have your own nuclear Apocalypse then get paid billions to clean it up. No wonder the industry isn’t too worried about safety.

Fortunate in that those responsible see no jail time fines or lowering of their fat cat life style.
Why not boycott Japan? I don’t even want a used Honda lest I must buy a new made in Japan radiated part for it. They are slowly poisoning us here on the west coast of North America. Really an act of war. Look nuclear energy fueled their economy and now our children may be at risk of early death. Boycott the crap out of them and it might make other nuclear economies (USA, Canada, India, France etc.) wake up to the true cost of nuclear energy which is anything but green.

I bet they’re glad they’re not from Italy.. http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2011/05/27/italian-scientist-charged-manslaughter-failing-predict-earthquake/
I already have boycotted Japanese goods and decided it will be forever. I will do it too – nasty clerk, poor service or quality at ANY store? The typical grounding is 1 year and I say and email so (although Walmart earned themselves a 5 year sentence once..). I also say so and email corporate again when I return the year later and remind them. This one is over the top though. I won’t live 250,000 years, but considering how most people don’t remember yesterday, let alone remember the worst nuclear disaster in history is still ongoing, a boycott wouldn’t be too impressive other than on a personal level I’m afraid. Certainly not minimizing it as the personal benefit alone is worth it in my opinion as it’s not just a customer service beef, but life itself. I will not tolerate any more of my children dying.

How about, Let’s BOYCOTT:
General Electric who builds these death machines and their media holdings-
“GE 2009 revenues: $157 billion
General Electric media-related holdings include television networks NBC and Telemundo, Universal Pictures, Focus Features, 26 television stations in the United States and cable networks MSNBC, Bravo and the Sci Fi Channel. GE also owns 80 percent of NBC Universal.
Now you know why there is a news blackout!!!
Have to boycott Westinghouse of course and might as well throw in Toshiba and Hitachi who are big name nuclear players.
The facts are that US Big Business plays the greater part in this travesty.
Show Me the Money!!!

Val Valano interviews Geo-Scientist LEUREN MORET.
Most of us have been seeking info and expert opinions of this ongoing disaster.
This is the MOST COMPREHENSIVE interview that I have heard regarding this on going EVENT. It is a radio interview of approx one hour and fifty four minutes.
It covers (among many other things):
1 – The prelude.
2 – What caused it.
3 – What actually happened.
4 – Who caused it.
5 – Why was it done.
6 – WHAT IS THE TRUE IMPACT!
7 – What precautions we should take.
I believe that this is something that we should all listen to and pass on to our family & friends. You might no agree with all of her conclusions (I DO), but there is PLENTY OF VALUABLE INFO GIVEN IN IT.
I hope that you will find is useful:

I read this, and I thought this must be a joke. If what is meant is that the communication during the BP oil spin served as a beta test for how to miscommunication and hot to cover-up the truth, then I would believe it.
No matter how poor the communication is/was for these two disasters, our oceans have received a double-dose of death within the past year. The Gulf of Mexico is now spawning mutated fish and is nearly a dead ocean. If the oceans die, we die. That, I hope, is clear enough communication for these people to comprehend.

Yeah–I noticed how they rushed right over there to teach their approach to information management to TEPCO: Withhold info, minimize numbers, let time go by before releasing facts little by little, etc. Our corporations are master deceivers, well studied in psychological manipulation of the masses. It’s disgusting.
It seems probable that they are protecting themselves from what is likely THEIR liability in the whole matter.
