06/16/2012Sat. LeMonde.fr & AFP. Prime Minister Noda . Economy, Trade and Industry Minister Yukio Edano.
Re-operation of two nuclear reactors in the Oi nuclear power plant has been ordered for the first time since the occurrence of the Fukushima nuclear power plant disaster in which a command / French daily Le Monde (June 16) pm Noda occurred re-operation of the nuclear power plant on June 16 and March 11, last year since Prime Minister Noda and the Fukushima nuclear power plant disaster.
"We determined re-operation.
Now, the preparations for suitable re-operation are made. "
Economy, Trade and Industry Minister Yukio Edano stated in this way at the press conference.
This re-operation was determined without waiting for inauguration of the nuclear regulation agency which is newly due to be installed.
About the determination of this time [ pm Noda ], "in order to protect economy of Japan and people's life", re-operation performed justification with necessity.
June 15 the previous day and Kenzaburo Oe, the Nobel Prize for literature winner, handed the government the about 7 million-person signature for which it asks so that nuclear use may be stopped to the Japanese government with other celebrities and thousands of citizens.
On the other hand, Minister Edano,
"Although it agrees that opinions are divided among people, a politician's duty is deciding, even if all people's do not agree."
It has stated.
(Summary)
here above..
<ref.>Appearance of the citizens who gather in front of the Prime Minister's official and residence in the evening of June 15, and , and raise voice "reversely [ re-operation ]."
10,000 or more persons gathered with the message of the re-operation contrary of a nuclear power plant on that day (it is a Yutube animation by Mr. tkimura6502).

« On the Cesium Road
What Is the United States Government Waiting for?
June 11, 2012
Prime Minister Noda and President Obama
By Akio Matsumura
Read in Japanese.
We continue to post the opinions of many international scientists on the potential global catastrophe that would result from the collapse of Reactor 4 at Fukushima Dai-ichi. The message now is simple and clear―Japan’s government will not act; it is the United States who must step forward―yet no action has been taken.
I was amazed when I heard that one million Japanese had read our article that introduces Ambassador Mitsuhei Murata’s courageous appeal at the public hearing of the House of Councilors of Japan and Robert Alvarez’s famous figure that there is 85 times greater Cesium-137 at Fukushima than at Chernobyl accident. People from 176 nations have visited our blog and Ambassador Murata and Robert Alvarez have been quoted in online and print media in many of them. Despite this global attention, the Japanese government seems to be further from taking action to deal with the growing dangers of Fukushima Dai-ichi. In April I flew to Japan to meet with government and opposition party leaders to convey how dangerous the situation is. Ambassador Murata and I met with Mr. Fujimura, Chief Cabinet Secretary, who assured us he would convey our message to Prime Minister Noda before his departure for Washington to meet with President Obama on April 30. It was to our great disappointment that the idea of an independent assessment team and international technical support for the disaster were not mentioned publicly. I was also astonished to hear that many Japanese political leaders were not aware of the potential global catastrophe because they were not told anything about it by TEPCO. I find it difficult to understand their mindset. Why would the Japanese political leaders think it appropriate to depend on one source (with an obvious and inherent conflict of interest) to judge what issues have resulted from the Fukushima accident and who is most appropriate to handle it? As a result of this myopia, Japan’s leadership lacks a clear picture of the situation and has little idea where it is steering its country and people.
Let me clarify briefly why Fukushima Dai-ichi remains an enormous danger for which no scientists can recommend a solution at the moment.
Any one of the following accidents could seriously endanger the entire Fukushima Dai-ichi area.
1. In reactors 1, 2 and 3, complete core meltdowns have occurred. Japanese authorities have admitted the possibility that the fuel may have melted through the bottom of the reactor core vessels. It is speculated that this might lead to unintended criticality (resumption of the chain reaction) or a powerful steam explosion – either event could lead to major new releases of radioactivity into the environment.
2. Reactors 1 and 3 are sites of particularly intense penetrating radiation, making those areas unapproachable. As a result, reinforcement repairs have not yet been done since the Fukushima accident. The ability of these structures to withstand a strong aftershock earthquake is uncertain.
3. The temporary cooling pipes installed in each of the crippled reactors pass through rubble and debris.
They are unprotected and highly vulnerable to damage. This could lead to a failure of some cooling systems, causing overheating of the fuel, further fuel damage with radioactive releases, additional hydrogen gas explosions, possibly even a zirconium fire and fuel melting within the spent fuel pools.
4. Reactor No. 4 building and its frame are serious damaged. The spent fuel pool in Unit 4, with a total weight of 1,670 tons, is suspended 100 feet (30 meters) above ground, beside a wall which is bulging outward.
If this pool collapses or drains, the resulting blast of penetrating radiation will shut down the entire area. At the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power station, the spent fuel pools alone contain an amount of cesium-137 that is 85 times greater than at Chernobyl.
Any of these occurrences could have major consequences for the entire Fukushima Dai-ichi area.
Due to the pressure by the public and media, the government of Japan sent Mr. Goshi Hosono, Minister of the Environment and Nuclear Power Policy, to Reactor 4 on May 26. He spent half an hour on a temporary staircase at the site. Surprisingly, he said the structure supporting the pool appeared sound. (So our constant request for an Independent Assessment team was accomplished within 30 minutes, just like that. Thanks, Japan.) Minister Hosono also said at the press meeting that Reactor 4 could stand a Magnitude-6 earthquake. I don’t understand why he said this. We are warning that Japanese geologists predict that a 90% probability M-7 earthquake will be hitting Japan within three years.
Is he preparing his excuse that a M-7 earthquake was beyond his assumption?
Does the government of Japan think that the public is stupid enough to believe in such a performance? If they are so brazen, it’s probably because they know the Japanese media will cover what they wish to be covered. If we were talking about business as usual, I could ignore this as political theater, but we are talking about a global catastrophe that mankind has never experienced. “Frustration” and “disappointment” take on new meaning with each passing day.
I decided to visit Washington, D.C., to meet with a retired Army Lieutenant General, an old friend who I first met at the United Nations, to explain how Fukushima should be considered an urgent international security priority, and how it requires immediate U.S. action.
He agreed. He saw very clearly why Fukushima needs action now and he was puzzled why all possible actors have been so slow to move. One year and two months have now passed and it is a mystery what the United States government is waiting for. Investigating Reactor 4 should be a prioritized national security issue. We think we have been lucky for 14 months but it was a litmus test to see if opinion leaders from all walks of life would stand up to face the challenge. They haven’t thus far. And I don’t think we can count on luck for 14 more months.
I also met with Bob Alvarez in Washington and we talked for several hours. I thanked him for his calculation of Cs-137 at Fukushima Daiichi site; the simple figure has helped draw the public’s attention to the issue. Mr. Alvarez said that the figure of a ten times Cs-137 at Reactor 4 compared to Chernobyl is low, but is useful to avoid scientific arguments; a higher figure might be 50 times, which means that 85 times greater than Chernobyl might be an underestimate as well.
But it doesn’t matter, Alvarez said, whether the magnitude is 10 or 20 times greater at Reactor 4. The Cesium-137 in Reactor 4 would cause all of Japan’s land to become an evacuation zone, the strong radiation would affect East Asia and North America, and the radioactive material fall out would remain there for several hundred years. He asked me if Japanese leaders understand this. My answer is, yes, they understand it in theory but not in a practical sense. Prime Minister Noda, the sixth premier in the past five years, does not have the political power to make a decision to request the Independent Assessment team and the international technical support teams outside of TEPCO.
I told him that I came to Washington to explain that Japan will not take the first step; its leadership does not have the power to act first and survive politically, and does not have the courage to take the first step without thinking of the second.
Our guest speaker at the Moscow Global Forum in 1990, Dr. Robert Socolow, a professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Princeton University wrote his essay to Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists dated March 21, 2011.
We must explain, over and over, the concept of ‘afterheat,’ the fire that you can’t put out, the generation of heat from fission fragments now and weeks from now and months from now, heat that must be removed. Journalists are having such a hard time communicating this concept because it is so unfamiliar to them and nearly everyone they are writing for. Every layman feels that every fire can be put out.
It is so difficult, as Dr. Socolow says, to convince political leaders to take action in the face of an unknown – in this case an unprecedented catastrophe that they cannot conceive of in terms of an election cycle.
In the same way, I must explain to foreign leaders over and over again that Japan’s Prime Minister is a consensus builder, not a risk taker. He won’t face up to this challenge.
The United States government is the only other logical actor, and I find it very difficult to understand why they remain silent.
If this global catastrophe occurs, what will the world history books say?
The people of Minister Hosono official residences have [ that that it can say certainly is not taking out information with still exact Toden, and Prime Minister Noda ] conversely convenient it from the first -- about -- it is only using for politics.
This is completely contrary to reality and contamination of the Japanese Islands has just started now.
And probably, the more the step of the islands where we have ridden is shaky, the more time passes.
Furthermore, the spent fuel pool of No. 4 which appears in the unstable state on it seems to be in an one finger state at cliff hanger.
And in the point, it is in the United States. President 'Obama has dribbled about the prospect of building the new nuclear power plant in a country.
thinking and Obama and the Atom Lobby ', and a presidential election exist.
Does President Obama consider the thing of 'glove'?
pathfinderk.

This essay expresses dismay that the US government has not taken this issue more seriously, but I never expected more. I think the US is just like the Japanese government in its motivation to downplay the seriousness of the issue. It goes against the interests of the global nuclear industry to take urgent action on nuclear waste, no matter how dangerous the problem. The attitude is: the less said about the hazards of nuclear waste the better, at Fukushima Daiichi or elsewhere. If the US announced that Fukushima was an urgent global threat, it would amount to an official denunciation of nuclear power in general. This would be extremely bad PR for the nuclear industry which Obama has promoted eagerly as an essential part of America’s energy future.
Also, I would assume that governments are aware of the Reactor 4 building’s vulnerability to malicious actions, so again, from their point of view, the less they talk about it, the better.
Something may come of this diplomatic effort (which I applaud), but I think nothing will change without much greater public pressure from the bottom up.

The US goverment does not act because the nuclear industry is in firm control of most American politicians. Corruption has become rampant here, and as Mark Twain once said, “We have best government money can buy”.
In “Obama and the Atom Lobby”, (see http://www.counterpunch.org/2012/06/08/obama-and-the-atom-lobby ) authors Jeffrey St. Clair and Joshua Frank describe Barack Obama as “. . . the nuclear industry’s Golden Child. No president in the last three decades has put more taxpayer dollars behind atom power than Barack Obama . . . the president is salivating over the prospect of building new nuclear power plants around the country.”
St. Clair and Frank note that Exelon, the nation’s largest nuclear power plant operator, in 2008 provided Barack Obama with his fifth largest bloc of campaign contributions. They state, “Two of Obama’s largest campaign fundraisers include Frank M. Clark and John W. Rogers Jr., both top Exelon officials. Clark served as a “bundler” for Obama for America, helping raise millions of dollars for the campaign. Even Obama’s chief strategist in 2008, David Axelrod, has done consulting work for the company.”
Obama’s Department of Energy has recently committed a total of $8.33 billion in loan guarantees for the construction and operation of two new nuclear reactors at a plant in Georgia. “When the new nuclear reactors come on line, they will provide reliable, base-load electricity capable of serving about 550,000 residences or 1.4 million people,” the Energy Department said in a press release. Carol Browner, director of the White House Office of Energy and Climate Change Policy said, “[reactors are] just the first of what we hope will be many new nuclear projects.”

The saying is “Pride cometh before a fall,” but the real meaning is, “Arrogance cometh before a fall.” It is the greatest arrogance to think that such a tragedy cannot happen, simply because it would be so inconvenient.
It is breathtaking to realize that our government could start a war over imaginary “weapons of mass destruction,” yet do not see that this unfolding catastrophe in Japan could be a real agent of mass destruction, whether it is a weapon or not.
How can people claim to be religious when they will not be responsible stewards of this earth? How can they think that it is okay to pollute this marvelous planet we have, and that an indulgent father-figure god will rescue them from their greed? Will the ultimate downfall of humanity be insanity?

It’s quite definitely a weapon of mass global destruction. The weapon is alive and kicking as we speak. The weapon will never die:
“A meltdown is forever.” (Michio Kaku)
No level of radiation is safe.
We are getting persistent, and increasing, low-levels of radiation from Fukushima in the air, ocean, rainfall, fish and Japanese goods (and people). Nobody will die right away, but escaping death will be more difficult as time goes on (bioaccumulation and biomagnification).
The fish are inedible (not just the tuna).
Tokyo is covered in radioactive black dust and this is being made worse through burning of radioactive debris (radiation gets aerosolized and pushed up into the air where it connects with the Jet Stream and gets carried across to North America).
Very high readings in the Cascades and Rocky Mountains.
Justin Bieber is also safe and non-radioactive. His activities are broadcast all over the earth.
Why is it that this (‘safe’, ‘green’ and ‘low-level’) disaster is not also broadcast all over the earth?
In the meantime – stay out of the rain. Ninety percent of fallout comes down in the rain – as measured by geiger counters in North America. (Geiger counters do not record all the radioactivity in fish and other foods – you need a scintillating spectrometer for that).

Indeed, as the earth spins and currents flow, those east of Fukushima should be concerned.
Who is responsible? While Japan does have the site on it’s property, the design and specifications might not have been their own. The ultimate responsibility for this mess lies with the IAEA as well as the designer(s.) Possibly the contractors who might have deviated from the specification.

Everyone in America is sitting back waiting for the problems to get better by themselves. All that is needed is economic growth. Everyone knows that this is something provided by free markets and small government.
Let’s all the nay-sayers step out of the way and let capitalism roll up its sleeves and go to work.
Maybe tomorrow …
Maybe the next day …

I'm Christopher Busby, I'm a an expert on the health effects of ionizing radiation.
クリス・バズビーです。私は電離放射線の人体への影響に関する専門家です。
And I want to talk to you about Fukushima and Chernobyl.
福島とチェルノブイリについて、お話します。
What I want to say is that the models that are used to determine the effects of radiation always concentrate on cancer and leukaemia.
お伝えしたいのは何かというと、放射線の影響を見定める際に使われるモデルは、いつも癌と白血病にばかり着目します。
And so, the current risk model will say how many cancers are expected after Fukushima and how many cacers are expected after Chernobyl, and so forth.
現在のリスクモデルでは、福島の事故で癌がどれだけ増えるとか、チェルノブイリによる癌はこれだけだとか、そういう話になります。
But we know from Chernobyl that radiation causes a whole range of diseases and one of the diseases that it seems to cause is heart disease.
でも我々はチェルノブイリの経験から、放射線はありとあらゆる病気を引き起こすことを知っています。その一つが心臓病です。
And I want to talk to you about heart disease effect on children.
ここでは、子どもたちの心臓病についてお話したいと思います。
Now, a colleague of mine, Professor Yuri Bandashevsky, became quite famous, because he studied the cesium 137 exposure to children in the areas that were contaminated by Chernobyl accident in Belarus.
私の仲間、ユーリ・バンダシェフスキー教授は、チェルノブイリ事故によって汚染された地域に住むベラルーシの子どもたちにセシウム１３７の被ばくがもたらした影響を研究し、かなり有名になりました。
He discovered, in the late 1990s, he discovered that the children who were contaminated to the extent of having a only 20 to 30 bequerels per kilogram, which is not very much, of cesium 137 were suffering cardiac arrhythmias, that's heart wasn't beating properly, and they were suffering heart attacks and dying.
バンダシェフスキーは、1kg当たりわずか20-30ベクレルという微量のセシウム137に被ばくした子どもたちに不整脈がみられることを、1990年代後半に発見しました。また子どもたちは心臓発作を起こし、亡くなっていました。
And it's a very serious matter.
これはとても深刻な問題です。
So wasn't a question of leukaemia and cancer on these children although that occured as well, but there are very high rates of heart diseases on these children.
白血病や癌の話ではありません。白血病や癌もありましたが、これらの子どもたちの間では心臓病になる確率がとても高かったのです。
So children were manifesting heart diseases which are normally only found in old people.
通常なら高齢者にしかみられない心臓病が子どもたちの体に表れていたのです。
And this got me thinking about how this could be at what apeears to be low-level of contamination.
私は考えさせられました。一見したところ低レベルの汚染なのに、これはなぜだろうと。
So I started looking into this and what I find was truly extraordinary which I shall share it with you.
調べてみたところ、本当に驚愕の事実が判明しましたのでお伝えします。
The heart of a child at the age of about two to five is about this size, and the age of about ten it's about this size, and we know from measurements to be made, how many cells there are in the heart of a child.
２～５歳位の子どもの心臓は、この位の大きさです。１０歳位だとこの位です。また子どもの心臓の中の細胞の数は、計測から分かっています。
A five-year-old has a heart which is approximately 220grams in weight, a lot of it, of course, is blood.
５歳児の心臓の重さは220gです。その大部分はもちろん血液です。
So if you take the blood out and leave the muscle tissue, there's about 85 grams of muscle tissue in the heart of a child aged five.
そこから血液を抜くと筋肉組織だけになります。5歳児の心臓にはおよそ85ｇの筋肉組織があります。
This is all data.
データとしてはこういうことです。
Now we actually know also, though, the size of the heart muscle cells, so we know how many heart muscle cells there are in the child's heart.
ところで心筋細胞の大きさに関してもわかっています。だから子どもの心臓には心筋細胞がいくつあるのかもわかります。
There are about three billion muslce cells, the number. Three billion.
心筋細胞は30億個という数あります。30億個。
And what we can do is we can put 50 becquerels per kilogram of cesium 137 in a thought experiment, we can put into the heart muscle,
それで何ができるかというと、ここで仮に、１kg当たり５０ベクレルのセシウム137が心筋に入るとしてみましょう。
and a becquerel is one disintegration per second, so we can see how many disintegrations as how many electron tracks come from the cesium 137 in a period of about a year.
１ベクレルというのは１秒につき１回の原子核崩壊ですから、そのセシウム137から約１年間でどれだけの原子核崩壊があるか、つまりどれだけの電子飛跡が出るかわかります
And when we do this, I mean it's really simple it can be done on the back of an envelope, what we find is that there are many many more electron tracks traversing the cells than you can imagine.
これは本当に単純で、封筒の裏側でも使って計算できます。やってみると、想像をはるかに超える量の電子飛跡が細胞内を通っていることがわかります。
And in fact it works out that if only one percent of those cells were killed by the electron tracks of that level of cesium 137, if only one percent were killed, you would loose 25% of all the muscle cells in the heart.
しかもそのレベルのセシウム137の電子飛跡で心筋細胞のわずか1％が死ぬと、心臓の心筋細胞全体の25％が失われるのです。
And this is very serious because the heart is an extraordinary organ, the muscle cells in the heart are autonomous, they just contract and they contract and they contract for the whole period of life of the individual.
心臓は驚異的な働きをする内臓ですので、これは大変深刻です。心筋は自律的に収縮を繰り返しています。人の一生を通じて収縮し続けています。
And everyday they pump seven thousand litters of blood through the body. Truly extraordinary.
そして一日7000リットルの血液を体中に送り込みます。本当に驚異的です。
And we live for seventy years so this heart beats away continuously for the whole of your life span.
我々が生きるのは70年間ですね。心臓はその一生を通じてずっと脈打ち続けます。
But of course these cells are non-replacable by and large.
でももちろん、これらの細胞はほとんど入れ替わりません。
It turns out that only 1% of these cells can be replaced in a year.
一年間でこれらの細胞のうちたった１％しか入れ替わらないのです。
So if these cells get damaged or if particular number of these cells get damaged, they cannot be replaced in a short period of time,
これらの細胞のすべて、または一部が損傷されても、ただちには入れ替わりません。
so a year's exposure to 50 becquerels per kilogram of cesium 137,
１キロあたり５０ベクレルのセシウム137に被ばくするということはつまり－
and incidentally cesium 137, we know from experiments, binds to muscle so this is where it goes,
ちなみにセシウム137は筋肉に蓄積されることが実験で分かっています*。
just like iodine goes into the thyloid gland, the strontium goes into the bone and goes to the DNA, cesium 137 goes to muscle.
ヨウ素が甲状腺、ストロンチウムが骨そしてDNAに行くように、セシウム137は筋肉に溜まります*。
*訳注：6月下旬に原子力資料情報室のUstで崎山比早子さんが「原発事故と放射性セシウム」というお話をされました。そのなかに「2003年のベラルーシの論文」のことが出てきました。映ったスライド資料にBandazhevskyの文字が見えましたのでやはりバンダシェフスキーの論文だと思います。セシウムは甲状腺に一番蓄積され、それから心筋、脾臓、腎臓、内分泌系にも蓄積されるということ、そして重量当たり取り込まれる量でみると、子どもは大人の3倍（甲状腺、心臓）となる、と仰っていました。http://cnic-movie.blogspot.com/2011/03/cincnews-20110326.html
It will concentrate on the muscle tissue of a heart.
心臓の心筋組織に蓄積されます。
So this child's heart, after one year of exposure to that level of cesium, which is quite a small level, will have approximately 25% of its cells destroyed.
つまり、そのレベルのセシウムに一年間被ばくさせられる子どもの心臓においては、微量にもかかわらず細胞の約２５％が破壊されることになります。
Now, we would therefore expect to find effects and the same effects that were found by Bandashevsky.
したがって、福島でもバンダシェフスキーが発見したのとまったく同じ影響が出ることが予想できます。
And it does seem, from what people have been telling me about, in the Fukushima affected area that they are actually suffering heart atacks.
実際、私が聞いているところでは、福島の子どもたちの間に心臓発作が起きている様子です。
So, there are two things that followed from this, which are terribly important.
これから導かれる大変重要なことが２点あります。
The first thing is that children in that area should immediately be scanned using ECG, electrocardiograms, all hospitals have this device, to see they have conduction problems.
まず、その地域の子どもたちの心電図を速やかに取り、心臓伝導系に問題がないかをみるべきでしょう。どんな病院にもある設備ですから。
Because the first manifestations of this damage to the heart muscle cells would be conduction problems which can be shown on these ECGs,
なぜかというと心筋細胞へのダメージが最初に現れるのは、心電図で見てとれる刺激伝導系の問題だからです。
in fact this is how Bandashevsky found this and incidentally, Bandashevsky, when he reported this, was sent to jail.
バンダシェフスキー本人も、この方法で見つけています。ちなみに彼はこれを発表したことによって投獄されました。
And the government wouldn't believe it and said he was scare-mongering.
政府はバンダシェフスキーの言う事を信じようとせず、恐怖を煽っているのだとしたのです。
So they sent him to jail, he was in jail for several years until eventually Amnesty International, European Parliament issued him with an international passport, one of only twenty-five that have been issued, and got him out of jail.
バンダシェフスキーは数年間投獄され、アムネスティと欧州議会が国際パスポートを発給してくれるまで出獄できませんでした。過去に２５回しか発給されていない国際パスポートの一つです。
訳注：アムネスティって何？という方はこちら。
http://www.amnesty.or.jp/modules/wfsection/article.php?articleid=32
2005年にバンダシェフスキーが釈放されたときのアムネスティの発表はこちらにあります（英文）http://www.amnesty.org.au/news/comments/2406/
計８年の刑期のうちの４年間、2001から2005年まで投獄されていたようです。
So I worked quite close with Bandashevsky who was a hero, he received the Edward P. Radford Memorial Prize for Radiation Biology at Lesvos Conference where he gave this paper that showed there were these increases in the heart diseases in the children.
私はバンダシェフスキーとずいぶん緊密に仕事をしましたが、英雄でした。子どもの心臓疾患の増加に関する彼の報告は、（ＥＣＲＲの）レスボス会議の時に発表されたものです。この会議で、彼は放射線防御のためのラッドフォード記念大賞を受賞しています。
So the first thing that has to be done is that the children have to be checked out for conduction problems with the ECG.
というわけで、まずやらなければならないのは、子どもたちの心電図をとって心臓伝導系に異常がないかどうかをみることです。
Evacuated.
避難させることですよね。
And if, yes, in the course if any of them are suffering from these problems be immediately evacuated, but if any of them are suffering from these problems, ALL of the children should be evacuated.
ええ、心臓伝導系に問題が出ている子がいたらすぐに避難させるべきです。でも、もしそういう子が一人でもいたら、すべての子どもを避難させるべきです。
Because it means that there will be sub-clinical effects from the cesium 137 in heart muscle.
それは、心筋内のセシウム１３７による潜在的な影響があることを意味しているからです。
And it will not be repaired. Heart cannot be repaired. Heart tissues cannot be repaired these children will suffer for the whole of their life and they will die young, which brings me to the second point.
心筋や心臓は修復できません。子どもたちはその後の一生を通じて苦しみ続け、早死にするでしょう。そこで２番目の重要点が出てきます。
The second point is this; if you die from heart attack or from heart disease, you will not die from cancer, because cancer is essentially a disease of old people, so you get genetic damage and it goes on and on and on and eventually you get cancer.
それはこういうことです。心臓発作や心臓病で死ぬ人は、癌では死にません。なぜなら癌は基本的に高齢者の病だからです。遺伝子の損傷が起きて、そこから長い期間を経て癌になります。
By and large what happens is that cancer rates go up very sharply as you get old.
だいたいの場合、癌の発症率は年齢が上がると共に急増します。
But I can tell you this that the heart disease effects go up very much more quickly, so what you will find in areas like Fukushima that are contaminated by these radionuclides is not necessarily enormous increase in cancer.
でも、それに比べて心臓疾患の影響はずっと早く現れることは間違いありません。だから福島のような放射性元素で汚染されている地域で癌が莫大に増えるとは限らないのです。
There will be an increase in cancer, but you will find big increase in heart disease.
癌は増えるでしょう。しかし心臓病の方はもっと増えるでしょう。
And actually when we look at Belarus, we find those things, we find increase in cancer, but we find big increase in heart disease, enormous increase in heart disease.
実際ベラルーシを見てみるとそうなっています。癌も増えてはいますが、心臓病の増え方はとにかく甚大です。
And as a result of this, the demographic index of the Republic of Belarus has fallen sharply after the Chernobyl accident, and now gone into negative replacement.
そしてその結果、ベラルーシ共和国の人口はチェルノブイリ事故後、急激に減り、今ではマイナスに置き換わっています。

06/09/2012 13:00 The conference according to a country and a local self-governing body in order to prepare for the large-scale eruption of NHK news' Mt. Fuji is the inauguration '.
In order to prepare for the large-scale eruption of Mt. Fuji, the conference by the country and a local self-governing body will be launched, and future disaster measures, such as making an evacuation plan in a wide area and implementation of an emergency drill, will be worked on.
In order that a conference might discuss disaster measures when Mt. Fuji erupts, it was newly prepared, and the volcanic specialist etc. participated in the first meeting held in Shizuoka at the disaster prevention person in charge of each prefecture in Cabinet Office, the Meteorological Agency, Shizuoka, Yamanashi, and Kanagawa, and it.
In the meeting, Shizuoka University [ which serves as a committee ] Professor Masato Koyama expressed the opinion, and it "has turned out [ the quantity of the lava which came out by the past major volcanic eruption is considered until now, and it depended, and / many ] by the newest research."
05/22/2012. University of the Ryukyus Emeritus Professor Masaaki Kimura.
Associate Professor Masashi Tsukui of the Chiba University graduate school physical science graduate course
The possibility of an eruption will be [ with a Mt. Fuji of less than three years ] high.
Many signs of the eruption have appeared in Mt. Fuji.
The precursor of the eruption "a water eruption" which that University of the Ryukyus Emeritus Professor Masaaki Kimura pays his attention generates from the northeast of the crater in Mt. Fuji to southwest.
This unfamiliar "water eruption" is a phenomenon in which water and hot water blow off, instead of lava.
Although the magma which is underground is pushed up by plate activity and the usual eruption occurs on the broken surface of the earth, as for a water eruption, not magma but groundwater blows off.
It is what that meets in the state where there are not an eruption and a not much change as a situation of this volcano in fact.
It is said that water is springing every several months over two years or more, and the water level is high suddenly around Fujinomiya also in the northern Five Lakes of Mount Fuji.
Furthermore, it is said that the omen of the eruption of Mt. Fuji has taken place also in Kawaguchiko.
It is natural gas spouted from the bottom of a lake in Kawaguchiko.
According to Emeritus Professor Kimura
"Since it is not volcanic gas which is blowing off directly from magma, there are some persons who do not realize it as the precursor of an eruption, but it is increasing extremely about one year before.
Moreover, the hole big several places was vacant on the exercise background of the Self-Defense Forces on the east slope in Mt. Fuji, and Centigrade 40 and 50 gas emission have come out from there to it.
It will be hard to think of that these happen at the period also including a water eruption in addition to the omen of an eruption.
It seems that considering these situations a possibility that an eruption will occur in less than [ other 3 year ] is quite high. "
Things.
It says [ that the wonderful phenomenon of driving a traveler's compass mad has also been reported, and ] Emeritus Professor Kimura's basis.
a few -- fearful -- having become .
.
.
It is in others.
spring arrival is told The pattern "Nouchou" of unmelted snow appeared on January 31 of a severe winter (phenomenon of usually appearing [ from / the middle of May in which a thaw is greeted / at the June time ]), and the lake of the phantom which is not seen appeared by Fujikawaguchikomachi of the Mt. Fuji foot usually in summer last year.
It is referred to as that the phenomena same at 99 places, such as a said district, are checked around Fujinomiya that there are many directions currently afflicted by the springwater spouted from under the floor of a kitchen or sitting room around from summer last year, and water blows off from a well etc.
Furthermore, an associate professor of the Chiba University graduate school physical science graduate course, Mr. Masashi Tsukui, has indicated that there will be a close resemblance between the present situation and the 9th century in the first half of the Heian period.
According to Associate Professor Tsukui
"Although the eruption occurred in Oshima in Miyake-jima in 1986 in 1983 and 2000, the major volcanic eruption has occurred in Izu Islands also in the 9th century.
And the earthquake of western Tottori in 2000 and Niigata Chuetsu in 2004 has occurred at the same place also as the 9th century.
When it goes back, the earthquake which occurred in Niigata in 1964 and the central Sea of Japan in 1983 is also the same.
And the thing which this East Japan great earthquake occurred at the place with the Jyokan Sanriku earthquake which is the earthquake greatest in the 9th century."
Furthermore, according to Mr. Tsukui, it is already with "the interlocking earthquake of Tokai, the southeast sea, and Nankai" to generate in the 9th century and to have not occurred in the second half of the 20th century.
"An eruption of Mt. Fuji"
It is indicated that it is .
In addition to this, the number of times of the earthquake has increased extraordinarily after - East Japan great earthquake.
- The interval of an eruption of Mt. Fuji is 200 years from 100.
However, it has become silent for 300 years after a Houei eruption takes place in 1707.
- The low-frequency earthquake has increased in the deep place of underground.
It seems that a low-frequency earthquake happens by underground magma.
- GPS data has change in 2008 and 2 cm of distance of Gotemba and Fujinomiya spread.
This is considered to be the proof in which magma has gone up.
- An accident is checked in the cave called the "windhole" of the Mt. Fuji foot, the icicle of a noted product melts, and it is small.
- The "continuation permafrost layer" of the Mt. Fuji top already disappears.
Every phenomenon is checked.
According to assumption of the hazard map of Mt. Fuji examination committee of Cabinet Office, it is supposed by the eruption of Mt. Fuji that about 2?10-cm volcanic ashes will lie even in Tokyo.
In the scenario expected, the airplane by which 14,600 km and operation become impossible in the road whose passing becomes impossible with lava, volcanic ashes, etc. is expected for the power failure by No. 515 per day and short circuit to also attain to 1,080,000 households, and it is assumed that the total damage amount amounts to 2,500 billion yen.

According to investigation "measurement result of the exhaust gas and drainage in processing of the waste containing a radioactive material" of the Ministry of Environment, by investigation of 16 cities and prefectures, Cesium was contained in the exhaust gas with two institutions among 42 institutions.
That is, a radioactive material may be unable to be caught in a bag filter.

If the inside of a garbage processing plant and an incinerator are polluted with a radioactive material, correspondence of repair etc. will become difficult in the case of trouble generating.
The frequency of the occurrence of an accident of a garbage processing plant is high.
It is impossible on the work accompanied by a risk of calling it incineration of waste to make an accident into zero.
Scattering and a possibility of carrying out a fallout have a radioactive material broadly not only in the circumference of an institution the case where an accident, explosion, a fire, etc. break out in the garbage processing plant which a lot of radioactive materials concentrate.
You also have to take into consideration the worst situation that the small-scale "1st nuclear power plant disaster of Fukushima" generates.

"NO rubble wide area treatment: Reason " of :12 around the country's voices. 06/13/2012
(1) The rubble in which 'industrial waste, the chemical substance, and the heavy metal are contained cannot respond in a general incineration place.
'
Asbestos, arsenic, sexavalent chrome, PCB, etc. the industrial waste subject to special control, the chemical substance, and the heavy metal are contained in the rubble which arose according to the earthquake disaster, and these cannot be measured and classified completely.
The common incinerator does not correspond to processing of industrial waste.
Although the chemical substance of the level contained in common garbage and a heavy metal may be able to be processed by medicine processing etc., the total amount of these toxic substances contained in the rubble which arose according to the earthquake disaster is an unknown.
Therefore, incineration of such rubble is accompanied by a risk of reaching far and wide and causing diffusion of a toxic substance, and contamination.
(2) The rubble in which 'radioactive material is contained cannot respond in a general incineration place.
'
The contamination by a radioactive material reaches far and wide by the first nuclear power plant disaster of Fukushima.
And it is surmised for one year after an earthquake disaster that the radioactive material which descended by then to the rubble neglected on the outdoors has adhered.
you should manage and dispose of the radioactive waste severely essentially -- if it destroys by fire at a general incineration place -- incineration -- conduct -- there is a possibility that a work member may be contaminated and peripheral people may also be contaminated.
The bag filter of an incineration place does not correspond to incineration of radioactive waste.
In Fukushima Ichi, even if it uses a highly efficient bag filter, indication of having been detected in the chimney portion just before radioactive cesium is emitted into the atmosphere is carried out.
By the Osaka municipal assembly on February 22, this year, a possibility that about 36% is discharged by missing and remains and about 11% are discharged from the chimney by equipment of an incinerator etc. among the radioactive materials fed into the incinerator is pointed out the result examined based on trial calculation in the garbage processing plant in Ota-ku, Tokyo.
That is, even if the radioactive contamination of the rubble to take over is below a standard value, it will be said that an immense radioactive material is emitted to neighboring environment depending on the total amount of the rubble incinerated.
For example, it becomes 1 billion Bq in the radioactive cesium contained in the ashes which come out when 10,000 tons of rubble of 100 Bq/kg of radioactive cesium is incinerated, and a total amount.
If 0.01% leaks from the chimney of the space destroying by fire as very low trial calculation among the above and 1 billion-Bq cesium, 100,000 Bq will be emitted into the atmosphere.
In addition, while it will evaporate if the radioactive material adhering to rubble has a high temperature at the time of incineration, and being spread in the atmosphere, when the temperature at the time of incineration is low, the concentration to ashes progresses.
Therefore, management of a furnace will become difficult if incineration of rubble is begun.
In order to prevent contamination of a worker and neighboring residents as an institution polluted by radioactive waste at the time of filter exchange of a furnace, and demolition of a furnace, you have to take the severe measure against splash prevention.
Depending on the location of an incinerator, it will just be in charge of processing as nuclear waste in free [ of a residential street ].
This not only requires a huge amount of expenses, but the contamination risk of a worker or neighboring residents increases.
Furthermore, when explosion, a fire, etc. break out in an incineration place, broadly, it may disperse and a radioactive material may carry out a fallout.
In the worst case, it is also considered that the small-scale "1st nuclear power plant disaster of Fukushima" occurs.
Though natural, we are anxious also about the disposal method of incineration ashes.
Originally they require the nuclear waste disposal site for carrying out severe management.
However, the Ministry of Environment decided the plan which admits reclamation in a general final disposal site the case of 100,000 Bq or less so that it might mention later by (4).
In the self-governing body which inconsistency with a nuclear regulation method is not only pointed out, but carried this out, serious environmental pollution is already checked.
For example, in the south this Maki final disposal site in Yokohama-shi, Kanagawa which is performing sea surface reclamation, that 1 million Bq per day (it is 130 million Bq in a little more than four months) radioactive cesium was emitted to the Yokohama harbor by the municipal assembly in March, this year It was clarified.
Since it is easy to elute radioactive cesium in water, if sea surface reclamation of the fly ash containing it is carried out, marine contamination may get worse.
(3) There is a defect in 'radioactive contamination inspection and it cannot secure safety.
'
Most present radioactive contamination inspections have made only the gamma ray nuclide the object.
Safety cannot be ensured without carrying out measurement of radioactive plutonium, radiostrontium, etc. with strong toxicity, alpha line nuclide, and a beta ray nuclide.
A gamma ray nuclide can also be un-detecting depending on upvaluation and measuring time shortening of a minimum-limit-of-detection value.
And pollution investigation of rubble is a sample survey.
A trial calculation may be made quite lower than actual degree of contamination the case where the rubble in which advanced contamination is guessed is excepted from a sample survey.
If the rubble total amount incinerated increases also noting that the inspected rubble is 100 Bq/kg or less of a standard value, in it, a quantity of radioactive nuclide will also increase according to it.
Keeping the standard value per weight does not necessarily secure safety.
In addition, a space dosimeter is held up to rubble as performance which advertizes the safety of rubble, and it may be claimed that a rise is not seen.
The degree of contamination of rubble cannot be measured with a space dosimeter.
Space dosimeters are 0 and 01microSv. If it seems that it goes up, the rubble will be a 10,000 Bq/kg several 100? number. There is a possibility of being polluted.
100 Bq/kg In order to conduct pollution analysis of a grade, analysis with a germanium semiconductor measuring instrument is indispensable.
(4) There is a problem of a double standard (double standard) which is contradictory to 'nuclear regulation method.
'
By the nuclear regulation method, kg is appointed at the clearance level in 100 Bq /with radioactive cesium as disposal of the radioactive waste in nuclear installation.
And discarding in addition to also moving this except the handling administrator who has radioactive waste, regulation, and qualification for the contaminant beyond it, and a radioactive waste final disposal site has also forbidden firmly.
This standard is established from a viewpoint of safety.
On the other hand, the standard from which the Ministry of Environment makes wastes after the Fukushima nuclear power plant disaster, incineration ashes, etc. about the wide area treatment of rubble, and a self-governing body reclaims land in a disposal site, it is considered as radioactive cesium of 8000 Bq/kg or less -- the plan which admits reclamation in the final disposal site where the case of 100,000 Bq or less is also general was decided further on August 27, 11.
This is contradictory to a nuclear regulation method, and is considered that it should generally make severer the standard of the common place outside the standard in nuclear installation.
Governor Masanori Tanimoto of Ishikawa Prefecture, "Isn't it a double standard?
It says that now, residents are not convinced", and there is open distrust.
(5) The wide area treatment of 'rubble is provided from national expenditure, and suppresses a disaster victim aid budget.
The wide area treatment of 'rubble is provided from national expenditure, and suppresses a disaster victim aid budget.
The wide area treatment of rubble also requires the stricken area head who is presenting the question.
Mayor Date Katumi of Iwaizumi-cho, Iwate, It says, "Where is the necessity that the land which is not used carries out all over the country those with full, and not being troubled even if not processed using a tax sky-high?"
In the Kobe earthquake, Kobe corresponded to rubble processing by extending an incinerator.
However, the plant of a rubble processing speciality is made to Mayor Toba of Rikuzen-Takata-shi, Iwate, and in the city, when a prefecture is consulted with on a plan to process by one numbers of times the speed of this, there is a complicated procedure in the current law, and it has testified for having been turned away for the reason it takes 2 year to construction even if permission comes out.
If it is safe rubble which can be incinerated satisfactorily, a temporary incinerator is made there, and it is [ way ] economical and useful for revival from the field of employment.
on the other hand, it is dangerous rubble which cannot be incinerated there -- it is necessary to consider another ways of coping called reclaiming land shut up with concrete
In addition, you should not take a risk of expanding contamination by carrying far away in this case.
A huge amount of transportation costs and processing expenses start wide area treatment, and all are provided from national expenditure.
However, they become more effective [ support / turn / to a disaster victim or a stricken area / directly ] rather than [ that the self-governing body which has not suffered a great deal of damage receives those expenses ].
「NO瓦礫広域処理::12の理由」 around the country's voices. 06/13/2012
(6) It is not the main causes of the delay in rubble disposal that 'wide area processing does not progress.
Although Environment Minister Toshiyuki Hosono is saying that rubble processing of disaster 3 prefectures is progressing only 5%, the rubble turned to broader-based processing is only 20% of a rubble total amount also a government program.
That is, although broader-based processing progresses to a loan half, a processing rate only increases by 10%.
The main causes of the delay in rubble disposal are not that broader-based processing does not progress.
Furthermore, broader-based processing cannot be asked for the reason which is behind in revival.
(7) 'wide area processings are the constitution and violation of the Local Government Act.
'
Special Measures Law which receives the first nuclear power plant disaster of Fukushima a " fourth article municipal corporation is related with dealing with contamination of the environment by an accident origin radioactive material -- according to the natural social conditions of the area concerned, it shall play a suitable role through the cooperation in a measure of a country -- " -- it is.
This infringes the constitution which sings the main object of local autonomy, and infringes the Local Government Act which defined the principle of autonomy and resident autonomy.
(8) 'wide area processing is contrary to international agreement.
based on international agreement, you should manage the waste containing 'radioactive material -- if it says with the essential principles of IAEA, diffusion should be prevented and central control should be carried out.
If radioactive waste is incinerated, the vaporized radioactive material will be in an air current, and contamination will spread across the border.
If broader-based processing is advanced, Japan will take the responsibility for global environmental pollution.
(9) 'wide area processing is morally contrary.
'
Toden which is a first meaning person in charge should take over all the radioactive waste that occurred by the Fukushima nuclear power plant disaster.
Such a big problem group is not taken up, but even if it considers hammering out rubble acceptance within the prefecture in the front, and future prefectural government, a question arises.
Locus of responsibility is made ambiguous and taking over the rubble polluted by radioactivity and a precedent in which a detached island accepts radioactive waste may be set.
(10) There are 'Okinawa, therefore a possible possibility of stricken area support.
As land with little fallout (descent of a radioactive material) to 'Okinawa, the value is figured out and is not found.
Those who ask for the agricultural products from a prefecture, and those who visit as a settlement and a health resort will increase in number from now on.
Okinawa can support stricken area revival through production increase of the radioactivity-free agricultural products from a prefecture, development and production increase of health food, maintenance of a health resort, a refuge person's acceptance, etc.
(11) The acceptance of 'rubble cannot say it as the policy focused on Okinawa residents.
If 'pollution rubble is processed in a general incineration place, a certain amount of profits will be expected by the industrial waste treatment company within the prefecture, but the general people of the prefecture are only saddled with a risk and uneasiness, and have almost no profits.
The influence which radioactive waste brings to environment also attains to the children born to Okinawa from now on.
some radioactive materials require tens of thousands of years of time until toxicity disappears -- even if it prepares the disposal site where the degree of sealing is high, safety over the future cannot be secured.
If spread to groundwater, how to give a hand should be lost.
Acceptance of rubble increases the anxiety over a delivery and child-rearing, and causes the young people's of the prefecture outflow.
Moreover, acceptance of rubble leads to a damage to image of Okinawa now when people of Japanese every place are interested in the radioactive contamination problem.
Also to the tourist business which is a major industry, the expectation for the big agricultural products a damage and from Okinawa and health food will also be reduced.
(12) -- rubble incineration in 'Naha and a Haebaru clean center -- the health of a worker or residents -- and
A huge risk follows about the economic loss by contamination of a metal or slag.
Since 'Naha and a Haebaru clean center are proud of state-of-the-art equipment and remaining power is in burning capacity, it is considered to be one of the major candidates as a waste incineration plant of the rubble which arose by the earthquake disaster.
but the clean center is located in a population high density area, and two or more schools and hospitals are located immediately in a side -- damage will become serious when an accident occurs.
furthermore, a metal and slag are recycled from the incineration ashes of the clean center -- the income which is 130 million yen per year is brought about.
Since a radioactive material will be condensed in process of incineration even if it is contamination below a standard value if rubble is incinerated, there is a risk of a metal and slag being polluted highly.
The slag which melts and makes incineration ashes is processed at the temperature over 1300 ℃, and may be heated to 1600 ℃ depending on a furnace.
It has not been investigated yet whether the strontium evaporated at 1382 ℃ by the process can filter with a filter.
Therefore, once it receives rubble, the necessity of investigating the degree of contamination of a metal or slag will arise, and it will become an excessive financial burden.
Moreover, when contamination is revealed in a loan, there is also a demerit that the income which must have been obtained decreases.

"The next Japanese nuclear accident (it’s inevitable) will be even worse"
ShareThis to the world.
This is my sixth column about the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident that started last year in Japan following the tsunami. But unlike those previous columns (1,2,3,4,5), this one looks forward to the next Japanese nuclear accident, which will probably take place at the same location. That accident, involving nuclear fuel rods, is virtually inevitable, most likely preventable, and the fact that it won’t be prevented comes down solely to Japanese government and Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) incompetence and stupidity. Japanese citizens will probably die unnecessarily because the way things are done at the top in Japan is completely screwed up.
Understand that I have some cred in this space having worked three decades ago as an investigator for the Presidential Commission on the Accident at Three Mile Island and later wrote a book about that accident. I also ran for 20 years a technology consulting business in Japan.
Here’s the problem. In the damaged Unit 4 at Fukushima Daiichi there are right now 1,535 fuel rods that have yet to be removed from the doomed reactor. The best case estimate of how long it will take to remove those rods is three years. Next to the Unit 4 reactor and in other places on the same site there are more than 9,000 spent fuel rods stored mainly in pools of water but in some spots exposed to the air and cooled by water jets. The total volume of unstable nuclear fuel on the site exceeds 11,000 rods. Again, the best estimate of how long it will take to remove all this fuel and spent fuel is 10 years but it may well take longer.
Fukushima has always been a seismically active area. Called the Japan Trench Subduction Zone, it has experienced nine seismic events of magnitude 7 or greater since 1973. There was a 5.8 earthquake in 1993; a 7.1 in 2003; a 7.2 earthquake in 2005; and a 6.2 earthquake offshore of the Fukushima facility just last year, all of which caused shutdowns or damage to nuclear plants. Even small earthquakes can damage nuclear plants: a 6.8 quake on Japan’s west coast in 2007 cost TEPCO $5.62 billion.
But last year’s 9.0 earthquake and tsunami made things far worse, further destabilizing the local geology. According to recently revised estimates by the Japanese government, the probability of an earthquake of 7.0 magnitude or greater in the region during the next three years is now 90 percent. The Unit 4 reactor building that was substantially damaged by the tsunami and subsequent explosions will not survive a 7.0+ earthquake.
An earthquake of 7.0 or greater is likely to disrupt cooling water flow and further damage fuel storage pools possibly making them leak. If this happens the fuel rods will be exposed, will get hotter and eventually melt, puddling in the reactor basement and beneath the former storage ponds. This is a nuclear meltdown, which will lead to catastrophic (though non-nuclear) explosions and the release of radioactive gases, especially Cesium 137.
The amount of Cesium 137 in the fuel rods at Fukushima Daiichi is the equivalent of 85 Chernobyls.
To review, there is a 90 percent chance of a large earthquake in the minimum three years required to remove just the most unstable part of the fuel load at Fukushima Daiichi. The probability of a large earthquake in the 10+ years required to completely defuel the plant is virtually 100 percent. If a big earthquake happens before that fuel is gone there will be global environmental catastrophe with many deaths.
Let me explain how something like this can happen. For 20 years I ran with a partner a consulting business in Japan serving some of that country’s largest companies. Here is how our business worked:
1) A large Japanese company would announce a bold technical goal to be reached in a time frame measured in years, say 5-10. This could be building a supercomputer, going to the Moon, whatever.
2) Time passes and in quarterly meetings team leaders are asked how the project is going. They lie, saying all is well, while the truth is that little progress has been made. Though money is spent, sometimes no work is done at all.
3) The project deadline eventually approaches and a junior team member is selected to take the heat, admitting in a meeting that there has been very little progress, taking responsibility and offering to resign. The goal will not be reached, the company will be embarrassed.
4) In a final attempt to avoid corporate embarrassment, the company reaches out to me: surely Bob knows some Silicon Valley garage startup that can build our supercomputer or take us to the Moon. Money is no object.
5) Sure enough, there often is such a startup and the day is saved.
It’s my belief that this is exactly what’s going on right now at Fukushima Daiichi. The very logic of time and probability that scares the bejesus out of me is being completely ignored, replaced with magical thinking. Organizations are committing to fix the current disaster and avoid the next disaster when in fact they are probably incapable of doing either. Lies are being told because Japanese government and industry are more afraid of their vulnerability being exposed than they are concerned about citizens dying. Afraid of being embarrassed, they press forward doing the best that they can, praying that an earthquake doesn’t happen.
This is no way to approach a nuclear catastrophe. What’s even worse is this approach isn’t unique to Japan but is common in the global nuclear industry.
Time is critical. What’s clearly required in Fukushima is new project leadership and new technical skills. Some think the Japanese military should take over the job, but I believe that would be just another mistake. The same foot dragging takes place in the Japanese military that happens in Japanese industry.
Fukushima Daiichi requires a Manhattan Project approach. The sole role of the Japanese government should be to pay for the job. A single project leader or czar should be selected not from the nuclear industry and that leader should probably not be Japanese. Contracts should be let to organizations from any country on equal merit so only the best people who can move the quickest with safety get the work. Then cut the crap and get it done in a third or half the time.
But that’s not how it will happen. In Japan it almost never is.

The Tokyo Electric Power announced on the 6th that the reserve pump of 2 next system circulating water which cools cooling water has fault, and it stopped to the spent-nuclear-fuel pool of the 1st nuclear power plant of No. 4 of Fukushima.
The main pumps also have fault and had stopped, and from the morning of the 5th, the water temperature of the pool rose by 4 degrees, and became 38 degrees at 5:00 a.m. on the 6th.
Toden says that they were stopped since the portion with insufficient insulation was found in the terminal area of a motor and a cable of the main pumps on the morning of the 5th also with the spare pump which the terminal of the cable burned on the night of the 4th, and was started to automatic stay and immediately after.
Toden is going to fix by the end of the 6th, and is explaining "If insulating tape is wound up and a pump is started, the water temperature of a pool will fall."

Fukushima Daiichi ； ""The Truth and the Future""utu. / Dr.Arnie Gundersen
http://www.fairewinds.com/content/fukushima-daiichi-truth-and-future
dis utu turns to sentence.
Maggie Gundersen: Hello Mr. Hirose and hello people of Kansai. I am Maggie Gundersen. I am the President and the founder of Fairewinds Associates and the founding director of Fairewinds Energy Education non-profit.
I am here today with Arnie Gundersen, my husband, and Chief Engineer for Fairewinds Associates. We are here today to talk to you about the triple meltdown at Fukushima-Daiichi. We hope to answer all your questions. I wish we could have joined you in person, but I thank you for watching this video and please send us any follow-up questions. We will be happy to answer them. Now let's bring Arnie into this conversation. Arnie, how dangerous is the situation now at Fukushima-Daiichi Unit 4, particularly in Japan with its continuous danger of earthquakes and seismic activity and chance for an additional tsunami.
Arnie Gundersen: Unit 4 has always been my biggest concern. If you watched our website on the very first week of the accident I was saying that if Unit 4 were to catch fire, you would have to evacuate Tokyo. As a matter of fact the book that we wrote talks about that a lot. It is really important and it remains the biggest concern that I have about the Fukushima site. Unit 4 has more fuel in it than any of the other units in the complex, but more importantly it has the most recently used nuclear fuel. And all of that fuel is outside of the containment. So that would make it dangerous enough. Except that also, of course, Unit 4 has had a series of explosions and is weakened structurally. Before it might have withstood a 7.5 earthquake. I believe that the structural damage to Unit 4 is so great that if there is a 7.5 earthquake, it will not withstand it.
Here is what would happen if Unit 4 were to crack and the water were to drain out of the nuclear fuel pool. The fuel is hot enough that it needs to be water-cooled. If air is all there is cooling the fuel, it will burn. It will burn the zircaloy cladding on the fuel, (and) will react with the oxygen to create a fire. And it is a fire that once it starts, cannot be put out by water. Water would make it worse. So the nuclear fuel would have to burn completely before the fire would ever go out.
In the process, all that radiation would go up into the atmosphere and blow all over Japan and all over the world.
There is as much cesium in the fuel pool at Unit 4 as there was in all of the atomic bombs dropped in all of the tests in the 1940's, the 1950's, the 1960's, and into the 1970's. All of the above ground testing has less cesium in it than is in the reactor pool at Fukushima 4 right now. So it is a grave situation. I don't believe that the Japanese Government is moving fast enough. If there is no earthquake, the plan to remove the fuel slowly is going to be adequate. But we cannot wait on Mother Nature. We have to quickly move that fuel out of that pool and onto the ground. The key here is quickly. The Japanese Government finally just this month came up with a plan to build a building around the fuel pool building and begin removing the fuel in 2013 or 2014.
I said that that is what they needed to do on the Fairewinds site in an interview with Chris Martenson a year ago. These things have been evident, but TEPCO is not moving fast enough and the Japanese Government is not pushing TEPCO to move fast enough either. I think the top priority of TEPCO and the top priority of the Japanese Government should be to move the fuel out of that pool just as quickly as possible. And in the meantime, they need to strengthen that pool to make sure that it can withstand an earthquake. Remember, that pool is not in a containment. You can look down in a satellite and see the nuclear fuel. The roof is blown off. And that is what makes it dangerous.
In America, we had the Brookhaven National Laboratory do a study to examine what would happen in a fuel pool fire. Brookhaven National Labs determined that there would be 187,000 people who would develop cancer from a fuel pool fire. It is a serious concern and I do not believe that Tokyo Electric and I do not believe that the Japanese Government is taking it seriously enough. For the last year I have been working with Akio Matsumora and finally it appears that the world community is listening to Akio Matsumora's concerns about the pool. We need to tackle this as a concerned world community and encourage the Japanese Government and encourage Tokyo Electric to solve it quickly.
Maggie Gundersen: Arnie you mentioned cesium in your earlier discussion. Why is it important? What is the health effect of cesium and are there any other radioactive isotopes that would have been released during the triple meltdown?
Arnie Gundersen: Cesium is one of many radioactive isotopes that are created in a nuclear reactor. It has got a 30 year half life which means that it hangs around for 300 years and biologically it mimics potassium. You might remember that if you have a muscle cramp, you eat a banana and it goes to your muscles and relieves the cramp. Well, cesium also goes to your muscles. It is called a muscle seeker. When it goes to your muscles, it can cause cancer, but it can also cause a variety of other illnesses.
The Brookhaven study only looks at cancer. It does not look at all the other things that radioactive cesium can do. In young children with rapidly developing muscles, especially their heart muscle, it can create something called Chernobyl Heart which is damage to the heart muscle, which once it is damaged, never ever recovers for the life of the child. So cesium is just one of many isotopes, but it is relatively easy to measure and also biologically causes almost the most damage of any of the other isotopes that are in that reactor.
Maggie Gundersen: Arnie, you have said that you believe the explosion at Unit 3 was a prompt criticality. What is a prompt criticality and why do you believe that?
Arnie Gundersen: I developed my concern about a prompt criticality because of the nature of the explosion in Unit 3. Unit 1, when it exploded, blew sideways and with relatively low energy. You can measure the rate at which it moves and it moves less than the speed of sound. And that is called a deflagration. It does not do anywhere near as much damage. When I looked at the explosion on Unit 3, however, it was entirely different. You can see it, it is not hard to see. It is called a detonation. The speed at which Unit 3 exploded was faster than the speed of sound. And the important thing is not how Unit 3 exploded. What is the most important thing is that it exploded with a detonation, not a deflagration. The nuclear industry is not paying attention to this now, but it should be, because a nuclear containment can handle the slow moving deflagration, but it cannot handle the fast moving detonation. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the international community are absolutely ignoring the fact that a detonation occurred in Unit 3.
Well how did a detonation occur? That was the question I asked myself. I checked with chemists and atmospheric pressure and hydrogen will not create a detonation. Like on Unit 1 it will only create a deflagration. So I needed to figure out how a detonation could occur. But there are a couple of other clues here. One clue is that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission way back in March of last year, wrote a report that is on our website, that talks about nuclear fuel being deposited on the site and nuclear fuel being discovered as far away as two kilometers.
How can nuclear fuel get blown out of a nuclear reactor? The fuel that is inside the reactor is also inside the containment and there is no indication of a massive containment failure and a massive reactor failure that could have thrown the nuclear fuel out. So I had to come up with a reason that the nuclear fuel could have been released in pieces, not little fine atoms, but in pieces which is what the Nuclear Regulatory Commission says was discovered.
The only way that could happen is if the explosion occurred in the fuel pool at Unit 3. Now if you look at the video of Unit 3, the very first frames show the explosion occurring on the side of the building and that is the side of the building that has the nuclear fuel pool. It started on the nuclear fuel pool side and then worked it's way up into the massive cloud that you see. So what could have caused that? That is the question. Hydrogen would have been above the nuclear fuel, it would have been a gas above the nuclear fuel and if it had exploded, it would have pushed the nuclear fuel down.
That is not what happened. Remember, we have fuel fragments found off-site. Something had to lift the nuclear fuel up. The only thing I could determine is that it was a criticality in the fuel pool that caused the fuel to lift up. The division I ran built nuclear fuel racks for boiling water reactors exactly like Fukushima. The dense fuel racks that are now in every reactor everywhere are very close to becoming critical anyway. And in the accident situation where there was seismic event and explosions occurring, it is likely that they were very near to becoming critical. And what that means is that they were very near to becoming a self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction.
Way back in college 40 years ago, we watched a movie called the Borax Experiment. You can find it on the web today. The explosion at Borax was a prompt moderated criticality. It looks almost exactly like the explosion in Fukushima unit 3. So an image I had from 40 years ago led me to conclude that the same thing happened in Unit 3. That a criticality occurred in the fuel pool and it pushed some of the nuclear fuel up into pellets and the pellets wound up scattered around the site.
Now, the criticality is called prompt moderated criticality. It is not a bomb. A bomb is a prompt fast criticality. This reaction occurs slower than a bomb, but faster than what occurs inside a nuclear reactor. The Borax experiments were designed to test just how violent that reaction could be. I think if you look at Borax and compare it to Fukushima Unit 3, you will see that there are an awful lot of similarities.
Again this is a theory, but it is the only theory that accounts for the explosion occurring on the side where the fuel pool is, and it is the only theory that creates the uplift force that caused the fuel particles to be thrown about the site and discovered as far as 2 kilometers away.
Well there is one more piece of evidence and that is that the roof over the fuel pool has been totally destroyed whereas the roof over the nuclear reactor and the containment, collapsed downward. We talk about that in a video on the site as well and I think that is another important indication that whatever it was that caused the fuel to lift occurred on the fuel pool side of the building, and not in the middle where the nuclear reactor was.
The videos after the accident and after the explosion show containment leaks as well. You will see in the weeks afterward, steam coming from the center of the building. And I believe that the containment lid lifted on Unit 3 and never went back down straight, so it has lifted and twisted sideways and radioactive gasses are lifting from that containment lid. But there is not enough evidence to say that that is what caused the explosion that we saw during the accident. The jury is still out and will be for 10 years until we get inside the Fukushima reactor to see what the damage is. But right now, I think my theory accounts for the damage, the speed of the shock wave, and also the fact that the contamination has been found as far away as 2 kilometers.
Maggie Gundersen: Arnie, let's talk about the Unit 4 spent fuel pool. There have been a lot of questions about that and a lot of concerns right now. Was there a hydrogen explosion at the Unit 4 spent fuel pool and if there was, what is a hydrogen explosion and why would it have occurred there?
Arnie Gundersen: One of the biggest mysteries at Fukushima is how did Fukushima Unit 4 explode? There are a couple of very, very grainy videos that clearly show it did explode. It was a different type of explosion and perhaps a fire and an explosion that went on for a period of days. So exactly how it did explode is one of the big questions about the Fukushima accident.
There are 3 competing theories. Tokyo Electric says that the radioactive gasses over in Unit 3 went through a pipe that connected Unit 4 and entered Unit 4 causing Unit 4 to explode. So Tokyo Electric's position is that the radioactive hydrogen that was created in Unit 3 went through a pipe, entered Unit 4, and there it exploded. There is one piece of evidence that supports that. There is some contamination in some filters in Unit 4 that would indicate that gasses did come from Unit 3.
So that is a possibility, but I do not think it is accurate because I believe that the containment was so damaged on Unit 3, that there was no pressure to push those gasses into Unit 4. I can't understand how the gasses, what the mode of force was to push those gasses into Unit 4. I think the hydrogen explosion came from something in side Unit 4 itself. There are two possibilities there.
One is by Dr. Gen Saji and it is an excellent analysis. He believes that the hydrogen in the water in the pool that was dissolved because of the radiation in the pool over months and months and months, was enough to cause the building to explode. As the water got hot in the fuel pool, it liberated the hydrogen that was in the water and that hydrogen was enough to cause the explosion.
The second possibility, and this is my theory, early on in the accident, there is some video that is up on our site, that shows that the top of the fuel racks were exposed to air. I am not suggesting that the entire fuel pool ran dry. But the top of the nuclear fuel I believe was exposed to air and I think the photos show that. So if the top of the fuel was exposed to air, it is possible that a reaction could have occurred at the top of the fuel that would have created enough hydrogen to blow the building up.
Dr. Saji and I agree that the hydrogen came from the Unit 4 fuel pool. He believes it was dissolved in the water. I believe it came from the fuel. Only time will tell when we get in to analyze the reaction. But there is an important lesson here that the nuclear industry is not taking into account. And that is the fuel pool temperature. The fuel pool is a large pool and it can boil locally. And that is something the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the international community is not looking at. You can get local boiling in a pool even though the bulk temperature of the pool may be at 80 degrees Celsius. In portions of the pool, it can be boiling. That supports Dr. Saji's comment that as it boiled it would liberate hydrogen, even though the bulk temperature never ever exceeded boiling.
My theory is that I do believe that the entire pool had drained to the point where there was boiling occurring. But the real issue here is that the nuclear industry is not looking at the fact that localized boiling can occur even though the bulk temperature might be less than 100 degrees centigrade.
That is an important distinction moving forward. We have about 23 of these Mark I reactors in the United States and there are another 10 or so around the world. I think that we need to design these pools so that the hydrogen generated by dissociation can be accommodated without exploding the building. No one ever designed for that because no one ever anticipated it happening. But it did happen at Unit 4 and we need to prevent that in the future. Not just on these Mark I reactors but on the 400 reactors that all have fuel pools that are all susceptible to that identical type of failure.
Maggie Gundersen: Arnie, I want to follow up with a few more questions. In your discussion of Unit 4, you have talked about its hydrogen explosion. Is there any chance of a prompt criticality or a hydrogen explosion now at Unit 4? Would anything cause it to release more fuel or more radioactivity?
Arnie Gundersen: The fuel in the fuel pool at Unit 4 has now been cooled for about a year after the accident and it had been removed a couple of months before that. So the fuel is becoming cooler. It still needs to be water-cooled for another 2 years, but it is much cooler than it was at the beginning of the accident. So the chances of hydrogen generation are much, much lower now than when the accident occurred. So I do not believe that we are going to see an explosion in the pool now, no matter what happens.
My biggest concern is that if the pool loses water, then it is an entirely different story. So if there is a large seismic event that causes the building to topple, or the pool to crack and the water to drain out, there is not enough cooling in the air of that fuel, and it will start to burn. Now the consequences of that are depending on which way the wind is blowing, it could mean the evacuation of Tokyo as a worst case. It could also mean cutting Japan in half so that the northern part is separated from the southern part by a band of contamination. So this is a very serious accident waiting to happen and we just all have to pray that an earthquake does not happen before that fuel is removed.
Maggie Gundersen: Arnie, compared to the accident at Three Mile Island and Chernobyl, how dangerous are the radioactive releases from the four reactors at Fukushima-Daiichi?
Arnie Gundersen: Three Mile Island was a level 5 accident and Chernobyl and Fukushima are level 7 accidents. That means roughly that Three Mile Island was a 100 times less than the accident at Chernobyl and the accident at Fukushima. People did die as a result of the accident at Three Mile Island. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission says no, no one died, on their web page. But the evidence is clear that there was an increase in cancer. I refer you to Dr. Steve Wing's report that is also on our site that talks about it. And in addition some reports coming out of the University of Pittsburgh indicate just now that we are beginning to see leukemia as a result.
So while Three Mile Island was much less than either Chernobyl or Fukushima, people did die as a result of the radiation released. At Fukushima-Daiichi the evidence tells us that at least three times more radiation in the form of noble gasses were released from Units 1, 2 and 3 than from Chernobyl. We have seen radioactive gas clouds, noble gas clouds to the northwest, that are much worse than we ever anticipated to have been released. So we know that the noble gasses were larger than Chernobyl. Now iodine, which is another gas that is released, and also cesium and other gasses, seem to be roughly on the same level as the releases from Chernobyl.
There are 2 issues here. As terrible as it is, it would have been much worse but for 2 things. The first is that most of the time the wind was blowing out to sea. And of course Chernobyl was surrounded by land, so whatever way the plume meandered after Chernobyl, it contaminated the land. So when we compare Fukushima to Chernobyl, the total releases from Fukushima are likely higher than they were at Chernobyl, but because most of it blew out to sea, that is a good thing for the Japanese people.
The second important thing that happened that was lucky, if we can call it luck in such a severe accident, was that it happened on a Friday and not on a weekend. There were a thousand people at the Daini site and at the Daiichi site, because it was a weekday, who could respond to the accident. If it had happened on a weekend, there would have been a small crew of people there and the accidents at both sites would have been much much worse. Now that has an implication worldwide, because on weekends and in the evenings, we have very small crews at these nuclear reactors. And should there be a major accident, there is no way to respond quickly enough with the small crew of people that are working on the shifts, other than the main shift in the middle of the day.
The international community needs to look at that and it is not a matter of well, we can get people there in a half a day. That is too late. The staff on site has to be larger at the beginning of the accident to mitigate the potential for a serious accident. But yet it all boils down to money. The utilities that run these power plants really do not want a large staff because they have to pay for it. But in fact, it was the large staff at Daiichi and the large staff at Daini that likely saved the world. So the important take-away here is that the releases from Fukushima are as serious if not more so than Chernobyl. And that they would have been much worse if the accident had happened on a weekend.
Maggie Gundersen: Arnie, thank you. How significant is the danger of hot particles and why?
Arnie Gundersen: I am really concerned about the hot particles that were released after the Fukushima accident. Now a hot particle is more than just a single atom. An atom of cesium decays once and it is over, it is no longer radioactive. A hot particle though, contains thousands or hundreds of thousands of atoms of cesium or other radioactive material and they, of course, decay for many, many years and decades.
So if a hot particle is lodged inside you, either in your lung or in your liver or in your gastrointestinal tract, it can cause a constant bombardment of radiation over a long period of time to a very small localized part of your tissue. And that is exactly the conditions that can cause a cancer.
So we have seen in Mr Kaltofen's analysis to the American Public Health Association: he shows what an air filter looked like in a car in Fukushima and what an air filter looked like in a car in Tokyo. Those air filters are no different than our lung, our lung acts as an air filter, and that causes that radiation to get trapped in our lungs or in our livers or elsewhere in our bodies, and will constantly, over decades, cause cellular damage. It is particularly a concern in young children because they have a longer life, and because their cells are rapidly developing. So it is important that we monitor the children at Fukushima and throughout Japan over the next 3 or 4 decades to make sure that they do not develop cancers as a result of the hot particles that were released from Fukushima-Daiichi.
Maggie Gundersen: So Arnie, in closing, what do you want people to remember from your review of the accident at Fukushima-Daiichi?
Arnie Gundersen: About a month before the accident, we were walking and we were talking about an accident and where it might occur. And I said I did not know where it would occur, but I thought it would occur in a boiling water reactor of the Fukushima design, I said a Mark I reactor. And it turned out to be true.
But I think the bigger lesson from Fukushima is that this is a technology that can destroy a nation. After Fukushima I was reading Mikolai Gorbachov's memoirs and he says it was the Chernobyl accident, not Perestroika, that destroyed the Soviet Union. So we had that information for 30 years but yet we really did not realize that it could happen elsewhere. So we know that the accident at Chernobyl was a cause in the factor of the collapse of the Soviet Union. And we know that the cost alone from the Fukushima-Daiichi accident will easily go to a half a trillion US dollars over the next 20 years. That is enough to bring Japan to its knees.
Japan is at a tipping point. You have an opportunity here to change the way we use energy. Or Japan can go back and turn on all its nuclear reactors again and continue business as usual and of course risk another accident. So you have a choice, you have the opportunity to change the way you use energy and to change the way you distribute energy. You can create smart grids that share power from the north to the south and from the east to the west, where the frequencies are different. We can distribute our generation, instead of having massive power plants in locations like Fukushima-Daiichi and Fukushima-Danai. We can distribute those power plants throughout Japan, throughout the world, with windmills, with solar power, with conservation and with distributed small sources of generation.
Those are all one way of doing it compared to the other which we are presently using, which is central station power. We needed central station power in the 20th century. Now with computers, we do not need central station power anymore. We can do it another way. And Japan can lead the way if it chooses to. If it leads the way, it will have an export commodity that the rest of the world will want desperately. You have an opportunity here to change your country. And you also have a business opportunity here to sell to the rest of the world a product that we all desperately need.
So the Fukushima-Daiichi accident is the worst industrial accident in history: it is a half a trillion dollars. But it also can be an opportunity for Japan to change the way it does business and to create the economy for the 21st century and beyond with distributed generation and smart grids. I hope you choose that choice. Japan is at a tipping point and it is your choice to make.
Thank you.

""It is discharge about 10 times as much radioactivity as Chernobyl at magnitude 7 on the Japanese scale."": "State of emergency"/French daily Le Monde of No. 4 which finish and is not (June 8)
(Philippe Mesmer, , Le Monde, 2012.06.08)
The Fukushima nuclear power plant of No. 4 in which the nuclear persons involved in the inside and outside of Japan are most apprehensive about danger.
A total of 1535 spent nuclear fuel is left behind to the No. [ 4 ] spent fuel pool that is an anxious ringleader still now.
If a stop of an earthquake with the seismic intensity of seven or more and a cooling device occurs and a nuclear rod touches air, it will be said that there is a risk of the radioactive cesium of quantity which hits by 10 times the quantity emitted in case of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant disaster being emitted into the air.
While the solution to such a crisis is not found out, the Japanese government is hurrying re-operation of the Oi nuclear power plant in spite of the contrary by the Japanese's absolute majority.
- Fukushima nuclear power plant No. 4
The spent-nuclear-fuel pool of the Fukushima nuclear power plant No. 4 basis which became the framework of a building is greatly destroyed by the large-scale hydrogen explosion which occurred on March 15, last year, and vulnerable [ intensity ].
A strong earthquake occurs again, or a large majority of nuclear specialist concludes that the wreckage of a certain building collapses completely now, when a cooling device stops.
On June 6, the Tokyo Electric Power announced that one of two pumps attached to the cooling device of a spent-nuclear-fuel pool broke down.
Although happy failure was solved, Fukushima of No. 4 is a form where the situation of the limit placed now and serious danger were thrown into relief anew.
The spent nuclear fuel rod to the spent-nuclear-fuel pool of the No. 4 basis is expected to result in a serious disaster if exposed to air (earthquake etc.).
If, as for former management Robert Alvarez of the U.S. Department of Energy, such a situation occurs
"The cesium of quantity which hits by 10 times the cesium 137 emitted in case of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant disaster will be emitted."
It states.
The expert group about energy and Dr.Arnie Gundersen says.
"Stopping is not easy, if a nuclear rod touches air once and a nuclear reaction starts.
(It is in a pool) All the radioactive material will be emitted into the air. "
The present condition description / Youtube of No. 4 by Dr.Arnie Gundersen<reference> (it is English on May 24) "a natural disaster does not wait for us.
However, the Japanese government does not seem to perform the sufficiently prompt action. "
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXjlRbh7dxk ⇒dis utu.06/10/2012 's article,up as ○ The Fukushima Crisis 283; Arnie Crys "The Truth and the Future of FNPP."福島原発の真実と未来.
When the worst situation occurs, the Japanese government assumes evacuating all residents of Tokyo.
The Bernard Vigo director general of French Atomic Energy Commission which visited Japan in February, this year has also indicated it to be "a pressing problem of the utmost importance" to take out a nuclear rod for such danger from recognition and a spent-nuclear-fuel pool.
On the other hand, there is sufficient water in a spent-nuclear-fuel pool, and since the Tokyo Electric Power became also bearing the earthquake registering upper 6 on the Japanese intensity scale by reinforcement work, it claims safety.
The Japanese government directed to check again the intensity of the inner wall of the building west side of No. 4 which is destroyed greatly now and is changing on May 25 based on the regulation about a nuclear enterprise on the other hand.
Minister Toshiyuki Hosono who takes charge of the nuclear official which inspected the spot on May 26 of the next day,
"I do not think that it is in an unstable (the Fukushima nuclear power plant No. 4 basis) situation."
It has stated.
However, the earthquake of magnitude 7 on the Japanese scale has already occurred in Fukushima on March 11, last year.
A Kohei Murata former Switzerland ambassador (notes) indicates "He is an urgent question in connection with a national security, and should not leave it to one company."
- It is blame concentration to the re-operation by the Noda government.
In spite of such a tense situation, the voice of strong blame is blowing off from the people of the whole country where the Noda government includes a push and local Fukushima Prefecture in Oi nuclear power plant re-operation of Fukui Prefecture with might and main.
Although the government is mentioning for reasons of the electric power shortage in Kansai as an ostensible reason for promoting re-operation, it is regarded also as the consistency for re-working 50 nuclear power plants stopped in fact now.
However, verification of the Fukushima nuclear power plant disaster is not ended, and the new safe standard based on the accident is not enforced, either.
About 3000 citizens including a Nobel Peace Prize winner, Mr. Kenzaburo Oe, gathered, and it raised the voice of the re-operation contrary in Tokyo on June 6.
The A-bomb victim organization "Japan Confederation of Atomic and Hydrogen Bomb Sufferers Organizations" of the same day, Hiroshima, and Nagasaki adopted the special resolution for which it asks so that re-operation of the Oi nuclear power plant and nuclear use may be stopped to the Noda government.
The investigation about the damage caused by radioactivity when an accident occurs in the Oi nuclear power plant is still untouched.
According to the opinion poll by the Pugh research center which has a base in Washington, 80% of people have answered "dissatisfaction" to the correspondence to the nuclear power plant disaster by the government.

[Close relation between Bruce Lee and a kitten] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbIwQMBeC2 c&feature=related [noted scene]
Seemingly, the grapple house of the "Way of the dragon" pro is also evaluating operation of Bruce Lee of this scene highly.
[Why or a cat is an appearance to the fight scene of risking death.]
The cat considered not to be not much related to a story in a wonderful thing often appears.
I think that the cat is made to appear harder to tell "the secret of Bruce Lee's strength being in a pliant motion like a cat" probably to.
[Bruce Lee's shoulder blade]
Attention is a scene of the warming up before fighting.
Bruce Lee's shoulder joint and shoulder blade are uncanny.
It seems to be a cat surely.
A motion of this joint is a motion in which it made sense for lengthening the physical movable range of a joint to the utmost, and making striking power maximum.
[A step work as if it had ridden on the monocycle]
And the scene which steps on a step like a boxer also has interesting Bruce Lee of the midst of a battle.
It is visible to operation which attached to the ally the gravity for which it does not depend on muscular power as if it had ridden on the monocycle.
[The step work which does not quarrel with gravity]
Moreover, his step is very light and does not break in the ground strongly.
It seems that it floats lightly and is moving in weightlessness.
[Functional beauty of the Bruce Lee operation]
Moreover, it is also surprised by that Bruce Lee's trunk does not blur a punch at all however it may release a kick.
I think that it is operation of "balance is good" and the level which is not tidied up in the word "coordination ability is high."
What is felt from Bruce Lee's operation is [ be / it ] the functional beauty of the operation [ extreme splendid ] which can be felt also from operation of Maradona, Zidane, Iniesta, etc.
If this image is seen, it is in operation of Bruce Lee or a cat. He notices that many various secrets hide.
