National Geographic tsunami video
I’ve always been a National Geographic fan. I discovered this while looking for something else, and decided it was worth saving and sharing.

On December 21, 2012, the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) blog posted a letter from Chairman Macfarlane titled A Visit to Japan: Reflections from the Chairman. She has recently returned from a trip to Japan and a visit to the evacuated areas near the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power station. Here are her concluding thoughts: On…
At about 2:22 Eastern Daylight Time a journalist sent me a brief email to inform me that Dr. Jaczko had just told the House Energy and Commerce committee that the fuel pool at Fukushima Daiichi unit 4 was dry. I had just read a status report that indicated that the temperature in that pool as…

The event…
On most issues, I tend to side with the opinions expressed on Democracy Now. The journalists on that viewer/listener-supported show do real investigative journalism and often question the spin provided by commercial media. When it comes to nuclear energy, however, the show and its host are unreliable and biased. On March 19, 2014, Democracy Now…
It’s so telling how the U.S. mass media virtually weds any mentions of “tsunami” with “nuclear accident” in one jittery breath regarding Japan. You really have to wonder whether these “pros” are just lazy in discriminating different events or trying to press a subtle point.

I see the EQ today in Japan brought the radiation fear junkies out in full force in the comments sections of many news sites. Its been since Sandy they had their last media induced worry fix.
I have started seeing people referring to the Tsunami event as Fukushima. As in, “Since Fukushima, manufacturing in (insert non-reactor impacted town) has been destroyed.” It really irks me…
