Japan's nuclear watchdog disqualifies a reactor for the first time since #Fukushima disaster

> Regulation Authority said the Tsuruga No. 2 reactor is “unfit” as its operator failed to address safety risks stemming from the presence of possible active fault lines, which can potentially cause earthquakes, underneath it. https://abcnews.go.com/Business/wireStory/japanese-regulators-disqualify-reactor-post-fukushima-safety-standards-115805380 #Japan #nuclear #disaster

No end in sight. #NuclearParasitism
"successful extraction of the debris from the No. 2 reactor -- albeit a pebble-like substance less than 3 grams -- is seen as a key step toward the goal of completing the decades-old process of decommissioning the plant"

A British Nuclear Missile Test Fails, Again

This time, too, the failed launch was first reported not by the defense ministry but by a London tabloid, The Sun, which said the missile’s boosters failed and it landed in the water not far from the submarine, the H.M.S. Vanguard, which had just come out of a seven-year refurbishment.

I suggest that the US government stop buying nuclear fuel from Russia.

The world’s pervasive dependence on Russian energy, including nuclear fuel, is no longer acceptable, considering that it undermines our collective resolve to support Ukraine

Why Nuclear Fuel is Vital to U.S. National Security Interests in Ukraine and the Middle East

At #COP28 22 countries call for tripling of #nuclear by 2050.

Masayoshi Iyoda, a Japan campaigner at 350.org, said: “There is no space for dangerous nuclear power to accelerate the decarbonization needed to achieve the Paris climate goal … it is nothing more than a dangerous distraction. The attempt of a ‘nuclear renaissance’ led by nuclear industries’ lobbyists since the 2000s has never been successful - it is simply too costly, too risky, too undemocratic, and too time-consuming. We already have cheaper, safer, democratic, and faster solutions to the climate crisis, and they are renewable energy and energy efficiency."

If the Russians were Americans, they would not hesitate to bring nuclear armageddon to the US right now with their hypersonic missiles. But fortunately for the Americans, the Russians always think about the civilians who may innocently suffer. In short, the Americans are extremely lucky.

"According to declassified documents made public under the Freedom of Information Act, on the night of December 3, 1949, the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission sprayed radioactive iodine-131 (12,000 Curies) and xenon-133 (20,000 Curies) over 500,000 acres of land, including the Washington State towns of Hanford, White Bluff and Richland as part of Project Green Run.

About two thousand square miles of land in Washington State was contaminated. The radioactive cloud spread throughout that state and went into Oregon. The purpose of this exercise was to practice what the military would do after a nuclear strike."



“Fallout from the nuclear tests—radioactive particles that were swept into the atmosphere and fell back down to the earth—found their way into crops and livestock, whose radioactivity humans took on when they consumed milk, meat and produce. Fallout takes many different chemical forms, one of which is iodine-131: an isotope, or version, of iodine that has the usual 53 protons but 78 neutrons instead of the standard 74. Inside the body, the thyroid gland will absorb iodine-131, which eventually decays to produce radiation that can cause thyroid cancer and other problems.”


“The Nuclear Arms Race was the direct result of America’s September 1945 plan to “blow up the Soviet Union”, formulated by the US War Department.
The Soviet Union tested its first nuclear bomb in 1949. Without the Manhattan Project and the War Department’s September 15, 1945 “World War III Blueprint”, the Arms Race would not have occurred.
The September 15, 1945 War Department set the stage for numerous plans to wage World War III against Russia and China:”



“The city leaders were very excited to have a nuclear test site on their doorstep. After all, the tourists showed unprecedented enthusiasm for what was happening in the desert. The first test, code-named Able, which was held Jan. 27, 1951, was celebrated with a musical parade attended by young girls dressed in costumes resembling a nuclear mushroom - says Fuhrer. - "Then a B-50 bomber dropped a nuclear bomb on the range whose power matched the power of both nuclear bombs the Americans dropped on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945.”

“Typically, over the next 12 years, tests were conducted every three weeks. Soon they became a real event. Tourists and locals drove to the desert, had picnics and watched the explosion from about 100 km away .”
