But those safety measures come at incredibly high prices, and even the nuclear industries of major nations are not immune to cost pressures. One of the reasons Fukushima Daiichi was such a serious problem (even if there were no direct fatalities, the economic and cultural damage was significant) was that the reactors were past the end of their rated operating lives. (Though admittedly, even a brand new reactor might not have survived the combination earthquake-tsunami-landslide that hit Fukushima.) </p> http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/topic/present-critical-nuclear-situations/page/2#post-494165 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 12:18:13 +0000 Red Sun Rising 494165@http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/ <p><a href="http://www.nuclearhotseat.com/92-fukushima-blackout-radiation-health-tips-from-ffans-kimberly-roberson/" rel="nofollow">http://www.nuclearhotseat.com/92-fukushima-blackout-radiation-health-tips-from-ffans-kimberly-roberson/</a> </p> http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/topic/present-critical-nuclear-situations/page/2#post-493496 Sat, 16 Mar 2013 19:47:11 +0000 tdziemia 493496@http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/ <p>Always good to be looking for improved technologies with energy (and its cost) an important factor in world economies.</p> <p>But let's not forget that nuclear is and alsways has been a safe, clean energy technology.

We think of brave men (and usually not the women who increasingly find themselves in actual combat) clashing with each other in something between a glorious movie about the Spartans and a NLF football game. Modern warfare is technologically based and one often survives (more or less) combat without ever seeing the "enemies." You move around pieces of a map occupying, but rarely actually holding onto, grid points on a map – the sacrifice is to momentarily claim control of this area and then give it up and return to base. The “combat” is to survive a hail of shredded steel and depleted uranium, buried bombs and land mines, napalm (jellied gasoline that sticks to you and other incendiaries) and so on.<br /> .<br /> Each of our modern wars has its signature poison. In World War 1 it was chlorine and phosgene gas which literally disintegrated the lungs on a scale ranging from mild irritation to death from coughing up blood and finally drowning in your own fluids as the lings filled with liquid in a vain effort to cleanse themselves. What a wonderful weapon! Heavier than air, it settled deep in the trenches and underground bunkers that protected the soldiers from the carnage of the huge cannons above. “Nowhere to run to, nowhere to hide.” In the end, the gas weapons proved so horrible that nations gave them up – even Hitler during the final collapse of his beloved Third Reich said NO to gas – he remembered his experiences with gas in WW1.<br /> .<br /> In WW2, we favored incendiaries like napalm and thermite – entire cities and most of the people in them were simply burned to death. The grandest incendiary of them all was the Atomic Bomb – an entire city could now be incinerated by dropping a single bomb with the only risk being the possibility of having a single plane shot down instead of the dozens so often lost in air raids. More Japanese have died from the results of radiation poisoning than died from the actual explosions themselves. And they are still to this day dying and suffering from it and so are generations of their children who inherited the genetic defects induced by radiation exposure – we should have learned something.<br /> .<br /> In Vietnam, we used Agent Orange to kill all vegetation in entire areas of the country to deny our “enemy” the benefit of being able to hide from us. We were told it only affected green plants, not people. They knew this wasn’t true – they lied to us and the world. Several generations of Vietnamese, Laotians and Cambodians have now have their children devastated by genetic defects and we have done nothing to help them. Because we operated in these areas, our own people also have seen many of their children suffer from the same mutations. The use of such chemicals is illegal, is a war crime under international and U.S. law, but no one is bringing America before the World Court to answer for this. America does as it pleases.<br /> .<br /> In the Balkans and Middle East, depleted uranium is the signature toxin. It solves the problem of how to profitably dispose of a whole class of nuclear waste while simultaneously providing a weapon that can literally cut through steel and concrete. It causes genetic mutations and, as usual, our own soldiers are no more immune to this than the soldiers on the other side and, of course, the civilians who will continue to live in these toxic super dumps long after the soldiers we attacked have moved on. Again, under the Laws of Warfare, this weapon is illegal but don’t hold your breath waiting for War Crimes Trials – America does as it pleases.<br /> .<br /> I have posted on this a lot and depleted uranium can be goggled. Like Agent Orange, our government says “don’t worry – there is no evidence for what you claim.” Just as they did with Agent Orange, they are lying and both they and we know it. My friend Monique D’hooghe has created two FB pages called Depleted Uranium Victims and Shock and Awe, the Legacy of These Wars where you can learn about and keep current on this issue and perhaps make a contribution towards ending this inhumanity. No one on FB is more dedicated to their cause than Monique – this is her life except when she is out in the streets doing actions against war, for Palestine and so on. Her work is well worth following and we need more like her."</p> <p>This looks like an interesting read:<br /> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Nuclear-Power-Is-Not-Answer/dp/B002YX0CTK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1335746522&amp;sr=8-1" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Nuclear-Power-Is-Not-Answer/dp/B002YX0CTK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1335746522&amp;sr=8-1</a> </p> http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/topic/present-critical-nuclear-situations#post-432114 Sun, 29 Apr 2012 05:40:59 +0000 pedex 432114@http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/ <blockquote><p><cite>-Nick- <a href="http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/topic/present-critical-nuclear-situations#post-432071">said</a>:</cite><br /> Personally I don't find Fukishima to be half the catastrophe Chernobyl was, but they need to just eliminate nuclear power altogether.
