300 years

[Fire11]

Gundersen: But the nasty isotopes — the cesium and strontium will remain for 30 years. And they’re volatile. Within 90 days, the iodine health risks will disappear, because that will decay away.

After Three Mile Island, strontium was detected 150 miles away from the reactor. That ends up in cow’s milk and doesn’t go away for 300 years. The releases from these plants will last for a year, and will contain elements that will remain in the environment for 300 years, even in the best case.

In the US, while the coal and gas electricity industry is projected to be worth $85 billion by 2013, nuclear power generators are forecast to be worth $18 billion.

Nuclear power plants are for creation/growth whereas Nuclear weapons are for destruction. Now if creation causes destruction then shut down all nuclear power plants.

There will be no more new nuclear power plants. Nuclear energy/power is the most destructive creation of mankind. Why do humans play with nuclear energy?

Reduce electricity consumption by 50%. Use wood fire to roast meat. Roasted meat is the best. When you use wood fire to cook food, the ash is rich with nutrients and provides the best fertilizer for trees and plants. This will cut nuclear power and coal produced electricity by 50%.

31 USA reactors are similar in design to ones failing in Japan. USA has nearly 100 nuclear reactors.

The very word Tsunami is Japanese. The history of Japan is Tsunami. Yet every single redundant back up has failed after a Tsunami. How's that for perspective?

Do you believe investors will walk away from new nuclear plants in US due to fallout from 3/11 tragedy in Japan?

When Chernobyl exploded 100 000 people got cancer all over Europe and Russia over the next 10 years.

As for Chernobyl, facts are this:

* For the 14 years since the disaster 300,000 died in Ukraine alone from the radiation sickness

* The releases contaminated an estimated 17 million people to some degree.

* 143,000 people have been evacuated from contaminated areas of Ukraine

* 600,000 people took part in liquidating effects of the disaster, 100,000 of which already died or are now handicapped

* Cases of leucosis and thyroid cancer exceed average by 2 and 5 times correspondingly among the Chernobyl victims.

* There are 1.8 million people residing on the territories of Ukraine, Russia, and Belarus, which are still defined as contaminated

I read articles about nuclear waste storage problems in France (80% of their power is from nukes).

Why not just use coal? I have nothing against nuclear power but why bother when we have so much coal available?

I am convinced even if we had the world's largest supply of oil easily obtainable we would try and find something else to use.

BREAKING NEWS: NUCLEAR ACCIDENT JUST UPGRADED TO LEVEL 6 out of 7

The ongoing nuclear accident at the Japanese central Fukushima reached level 6 gravity on the international level that are 7, said today the president of the Nuclear Safety Authority (ASN), Andre-Claude Lacoste.

Level 7 has been reached only once in the world

TV pundits are already preparing brainwashing by discussing how small amount of radiation is OK. This is a lie.

My father told me long ago that even a single atom of plutonium Cesium can give you cancer. There is no "safe dose" radiation will increase your chances of cancer

I think it has been at least a 6 for at least 2-3 days now, maybe even a 7, but they dont want to release the news just yet, they know its a lot worse than they say it is.

As for the winds, its blowing all of it over the pacific to the California area, as if California already had enough trouble.

My father was a nuclear technician on a Soviet Submarine, Real Facts for Japanese Reactors.

Breach of containment has definitely happened as you can see from recent sat photo. Notice the white smoke this is a 100% sign that Cesium and others are escaping and have already escaped in mega numbers.

My father says that Japanese government has only one card they play. Because Winds are taking the radiation into pacific toward Hawaii Japanese can say there is no radiation.

The Fact is if winds were taking radiation westward entire Japan would already be irradiated and Authorities wouldn't be able to lie

Don't make the same mistake people of Ukraine made, believing lies of government. This is serious matter coming to air near you

My father guarantees that you will be able to see higher radiation in Hawaii a week from now and even higher than normal radiation on West coast of United States

Chernobyl reactor had 190 tonnes of uranium. Japan has 6 reactors with 100 tonnes each/ 600 tonnes. 100 nukes is just 10 tonnes, if that.

China halts new nuclear build as Japan crisis worsens

China has become the latest country to suspend its nuclear programme in response to the ongoing crisis at the Fukushima nuclear plant, announcing that new projects will not be approved until improved safety rules are ready.

China has 25 new plants under construction as part of plans to expand its nuclear capacity from 10.8GW to 86GW by 2020.

But the State Council issued a statement today confirming it would indefinitely suspend safety approvals for new plants until new safety rules are in place, and step up inspections on existing plants. However, it gave no indication on when improved safety rules would be in place.

India and South Korea have already put the brakes on new nuclear build programmes for safety reasons, while in Europe, Switzerland and Germany are reassessing their nuclear plans as the situation continues to worsen in Japan.

2 days back somebody had said to me there has been an underground explosion. Nuclear weapons are stored underground. There is a possibility that a nuclear bomb has exploded in Japan. Maybe somebody is hiding some information.

[00_Pete]

I certainly hope this whole mess will be the end of it.

You know the expression "Those who ride the back of the Lion end up inside". If you look at the basics of nuclear power thats what it is.

Yeah they exploded about 56 years ago though, and there were two bombs.

[squarepusher]

Its a question of making them safe. Obviously this hasn't been done so far.

[Fire11]

Yeah they exploded about 56 years ago though, and there were two bombs.

But the USA brings nuclear weapons into port... secretly, or at least with secret permission from the Japanese government.

Maybe Japan was developing nuclear weapons secretly. Good Possibility.

Let's go back to the horse and buggy while we're at it too. If you're so against technology, why do you even use your computer? If you even understood the history behind quantum mechanics, one of many branches of science that makes your computer possible, you'd know had to fuck around with a lot of radioactive shit to make those discoveries. Then again, by 20 I'd already taken modern physics and knew that, what's your excuse?
