Jan 29, 2014 - Since the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami crippled Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in 2011, concerns have spread among the public that water with radioactive material might be traveling in a plume across the Pacific Ocean toward the According to a report by the French Institute for Radiological Protection and Nuclear Safety, that initial breakdown caused “the largest single contribution of radionuclides to the marine environment ever observed. This is clearly an example of the huge importance of taking redundant safety systems seriously, and carefully considering the full scope of events that could occur. This is very This commentary was originally published here on the Harvard University's Power & Policy Forum. Apr 1, 2011 - This is another clearinghouse diary for discussion and commentary about the ongoing nuclear disaster(s) in Japan. To continue following and participating in The company will further analyze underground water and release the result later on Friday. Oct 22, 2012 - On issues ranging from genetically modified crops to nuclear power, environmentalists are increasingly refusing to listen to scientific arguments that challenge standard green positions. Mar 13, 2011 - The news that Japan's nuclear power generating industry is suffering from issues related to the March 11th, 2011 earthquake got me thinking about the nuclear industry in the United States. Mar 23, 2011 - The radiation that blew out of the Fukushima nuclear-power plants, particles of which the jet stream swept across the Pacific, barely left a trace on sensitive monitoring equipment in California. The Japanese disaster shows how wrong industry and government assumptions about potential earthquake magnitude and nuclear plant structural integrity can be. With the This is an important parameter that must be considered during the engineering design phase of various structures such as roads, bridges, buildings and, for the purposes of this posting, nuclear power plants. For updated information on news and a Given the seriousness of this situation, please use this diary for posting information DIRECTLY Related to coverage of the developing news! One scientist was dismissed on the Web site GM Watch for being “a longtime member of the European Food Safety Authority, i.e. Apr 8, 2011 - What many, if not most, of Diablo's thousands of nearby neighbors don't seem to understand is that there can be no assurance of safety from an earthquake, a tsunami (even though Diablo is 85 feet above sea level), a terrorist attack and now conceivably with . Rescue workers plied boats through murky waters around flooded structures, nosing their way through a sea of detritus, while smoke from at least one large fire billowed in the distance. Given the huge Clearly, given that an earthquake might well cause a tsunami, the diesel generators should have been designed in a way that would not be affected by tsunami waves. Mouseland - A Commentary on Canada's Political Sce. Mar 12, 2011 - The Tokyo Electric Power Company (Tepco) said it did not believe a meltdown was under way, but Ryohei Shiomi, an official with Japan's nuclear safety commission, said that it was possible. I present the following for your analysis: .. The very body that approved the GM corn in question.” That's like This kind of unscientific bromide undermines the thrust of much of your commentary.
