Adam Curry Exposes Robert Alvarez’s Fukushima Spent Fuel Pool Fable on No Agenda

…ic version at The Largest Short-Term Threat to Humanity: The Fuel Pools of Fukushima or you can try this one if that does not scare you enough Fukushima reactor is a threat to all (Please understand that I am NOT recommending fear and thing that the people publishing this junk are incredibly naive – or think all of the rest of us are.) However, the story is somehow gaining some traction on the web and has even captured the attention of Senator Roy…

Arnie Gundersen going international

…d coordinating projects at 70 nuclear power plants around the US, says the Fukushima nuclear plant likely has more exposed reactor cores than commonly believed. “Fukushima has three nuclear reactors exposed and four fuel cores exposed,” he said, “You probably have the equivalent of 20 nuclear reactor cores because of the fuel cores, and they are all in desperate need of being cooled, and there is no means to cool them effectively.” Gundersen goes…

Arnie Gundersen Caught on Video Lying About Risk of Radiation Released During Fukushima Event

…. I was hoping nuclear plants would be good but three mile, chernobyl, and fukushima show otherwise. Fukushima in the end will poison the pacific, and that will take care of the rest. Its a really bad ride for humanity the rest of the way in, no matter what way it is. Rod Adams @Paulie777 Between TMI, Chernobyl and Fukushima, only 31 people were killed as a direct result of the accident. At Chernobyl, long term follow up studies by numerous intern…

Ted Rockwell shared knowledge to combat Fukushima fears

…bad science can become cruelly destructive, as the hysterical response at Fukushima has shown. Except for some clearly identified spots, the radiation levels in most towns where people could live and work would not ever cause cancer at all. Sadly, some people in the Fukushima area are wearing cumbersome rad-con suits, filtered gas masks, gloves and booties, and putting the same on their children. Meanwhile, other people who are actually exposed t…

Science has falsified the “no safe dose” hypothesis about radiation. Now what?

…lic harm are as follows: Casualties in Fukushima: Urgent evacuation of the Fukushima area and its prolongation following the 2011 nuclear power plant accidents caused more than 1000 deaths with no recognizable benefit. More than 100,000 people remain displaced, either by government mandate or by fear of low-level radiation exposure. There were no casualties due to radiation from these major accidents in the Fukushima nuclear power plants demonstra…

Let the people of Fukushima go home and get back to work

…levels as much as a hundred times greater than the forbidden areas of the Fukushima homes. The use of inappropriate radiation standards is not an abstract issue. People around Fukushima are being told they cannot return home for an indeterminate period – perhaps years. And efforts to decontaminate their home sites to these standards may include stripping off all the rich top-soil and calling it RadWaste. People who were evacuated have been reduce…

Jacobson misuses LNT to purposefully exaggerate effects of Fukushima radiation

…ma disaster. What is missed in the media’s gushing over these hypothetical deaths is that the Fukushima power plants have save many more lives than this. At the time of their construction, the only real alternative was to build coal-fired power plants. These would have caused many more than 130 deaths via air pollution. Laurence Aurbach This is my plain English translation of Professor Higley’s email. – The study made a lot of guesses. – There is…

Nuclear Power after Fukushima: It is, still, the energy of the future

…na announced a program to review its planned nuclear expansion in light of Fukushima, but has already concluded that there is no reason to stop or even slow down its building of nuclear plants. And developers in the U.S. are working to incorporate the lessons of Fukushima into their designs. One possibility that seems to be particularly advantageous is to build larger numbers of smaller units that have an easier time getting rid of excess heat, ev…

Benjamin Sovacool takes issue with Lorenzini’s criticism of his work

…one in California. But from 2012 to 2031, we predict a range of 0.5 to 1.0 deaths/GWh per year for Altamont, lower figures due to the improved efficiency of newer wind turbines. And in Sawtooth, Idaho, the range is 0.1 to 0.5 deaths/GWh, due to smaller turbines and even better siting. Thus, neither my original studies nor the new one with McCubbin are “junk science.” If they were, they never would have passed peer-review. They are, instead, admitt…

Why haven’t world leaders learned the most useful lessons from Fukushima?

…– Five Years From Fukushima: Where Are We Now? March 10, 2016, Margaret Harding at ANS Nuclear Cafe – Japan Moving Forward – Needs Nuclear March 10, 2016, Rupert Wingfield-Hayes at BBC reporting from Fukushima – Is Fukushima’s exclusion zone doing more harm than radiation?

It is never safe to panic and it is wrong to appear uncertain when you know what to do

…t. Jerry It’s interesting to look at the differences between Chernobyl and Fukushima: Chernobyl – Fukushima 4 reactors – 6 reactors fission energy – decay heat huge steam explosion – minor hydrogen explosions no containment – good containment graphite fire – smaller local fires Jerry I think the debate between green energy and nuclear will become intense after this. Green energy people will demand zero nukes, but their energy has been discredited…

Platts Energy Week Discusses Jaczko’s odd announcement about reactor safety

…after a chain reaction is shut down. That “decay heat” is what led to the Fukushima meltdowns. The solution, he said, was probably smaller reactors in which the heat could not push the temperature to the fuel’s melting point. The side session where Jaczko made his remarks was titled Fukushima Nuclear Accident: Shortcomings of Safety Regulation and Lessons Learned and was organized by Rebuild Japan Initiative Foundation. Jaczko’s stink bomb and th…
