3,000 Tons of Radioactive Waste Unreported Due to Fears of "False RUMORS" in Japan- says a survey!!! WTF?!

An NHK survey has found that at least 3,000 tons of undesignated radioactive waste from the 2011 Fukushima nuclear accident is being kept in 30 municipalities in 7 prefectures.

Local governments and farmers have not reported that they are storing the waste, as they are worried about false rumors.

The government designates, stores and disposes of rice straw and soil that are contaminated with more than 8,000 becquerels of radioactive materials per kilogram.

However, it is up to municipalities and farmers whether to apply for the designation.

NHK surveyed more than 500 municipalities in eastern Japan and found that 3,114 tons of this type of waste is being kept in 30 municipalities in 7 prefectures, including Fukushima and Tokyo, without being designated.

Some local governments said they did not report that they were storing the waste because they are worried about false rumors.

Others said they would still have to keep the waste if it is designated, as the construction of disposal facilities is facing difficulties.

The government plans to investigate the actual situation of undesignated waste, and consider methods of disposal.

KEPCO Objects to Court Injunction to Halt Reactors

Kansai Electric Power Company has asked a court to nullify its injunction ordering it to halt 2 reactors at a nuclear plant in central Japan.

The reactors are the Number 3 and Number 4 units of KEPCO's plant in Takahama Town in Fukui Prefecture.

The Otsu District Court in Shiga Prefecture ordered the utility on Wednesday to suspend operation of the two reactors.

The court said the operator had not fully explained how it would ensure safety. It cited matters of concern over the utility's measures to prevent accidents and the likelihood that residents' lives and property could be in jeopardy.

On Monday, KEPCO filed an objection and a petition to nullify the injunction. The utility says the court decision was "unfair," and fell short of an objective judgment of the utility's argument about the safety of the reactors.

KEPCO shut down the Number 3 unit on Thursday, one day after the court injunction.

On January 29th, the Number 3 unit became Japan's 3rd reactor to be restarted under the stricter government requirements introduced after the 2011 Fukushima nuclear accident.

The Number 4 unit was restarted on February 26th, but it automatically shut down 3 days later due to a malfunction. The utility said it would not restart it before it reports the cause of the trouble to regulators and takes countermeasures.

A Fukushima disaster could happen in America – investigative journalist youtu.be/9DZrU__Keno
Five years after the disaster at Fukushima shook the public’s trust in nuclear power, questions are arising about how secure such plants in the United States are, and whether they are actually safer and better prepared for major disasters by comparison. RT’s Simone del Rosario is joined by investigative journalist Paul Dirienzo, author of Hidden History of Nuclear Power, to talk about the state and vulnerability of nuclear plants, and why some protective measures are still behind the times.

$Teslas Game Changer w/ Arnie Gundersen Historians will look back at 2015 as the turning point for producing electricity during the 21st century. The data is in: building new nuclear power plants is too expensive and takes too long. Global climate change can be prevented with a renewable electric grid that will become the new normal. The forecast is simple: dirty forms of energy like coal, nuclear, oil, and fracked gas are no longer cheaper and certainly not cleaner or safer then renewable alternative power like solar, wind, wave, and geothermal. http://tinyurl.com/jbs2773 or here http://www.fairewinds.org/nuclear-ene... Japan’s figurative leader, Emperor Akihito, broke new ground in his address to the memorial service held Aug. 15 to mark the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II expressing “feelings of deep remorse over the last war, I earnestly hope that the ravages of war will never be repeated”. Akihito’s statements are an important balance in Japan to elected Prime Minister Abe’s push to restart nuclear power and remilitarize Japan. Remilitarization is frightening for the world because Japan’s existing nuclear power plants have produced many tons of plutonium that could produce 100s of nuclear bombs, if the Japanese chose to build them. Even though more than 70% of Japan’s citizens objected to the restart of any of Japan’s 54 nuclear reactors that were shut down after the Fukushima Daiichi triple meltdown, the Abe regime started up the Sendai reactor August 11, 2015. Sadly, the reactor is only 30 miles (50 kilometers) from a very active volcano, which has people in Japan even more distressed. Does the start up of this old nuclear power plant mean that Japan and the world have reached a renaissance for nuclear power? Absolutely not! News headlines should have read, “Only one nuclear reactor out of 54 is allowed to start up” or maybe, “28 out of Japan’s original 54 reactors will never operate again due to safety risks”, rather than the worldwide headlines touting that the Japanese government pushed a single reactor to restart. Actually, for the nuclear industry, the future of nuclear power remains bleak, not just in Japan but worldwide. Why? Historians will see 2015 as a turning point in the world’s energy paradigm because viable renewable energy is now cheaper and more reliable than nuclear power will ever be. Let’s make a brief comparison: In the United Kingdom, the new Hinckley Point nuclear power plant is projected to produce power at 16¢ per kilowatt-hour, while in the United States the North Anna 3 reactor in Virginia is expected to produce power at 19¢ per kilowatt-hour. Nuclear costs continue to skyrocket upward at every plant throughout the world. At the same time the cost of renewables continued to plummet in 2015. Solar now costs less than 4¢ per kilowatt-hour, while wind now costs less than 3¢ per kilowatt-hour. But the real game changer is that the cost to store electricity has plummeted as new storage technologies are burgeoning worldwide. By thinking outside the box and starting from scratch, Elon Musk and his Tesla corporation created battery storage in which electricity costs will end up somewhere between only 2¢ and 5¢ per kilowatt hour. For years the nuclear industry has claimed that only nuclear power could generate fossil-free energy when the wind was not blowing and the sun was not shining. Engineering ingenuity has created incredible advances, so that solar electricity plus storage cost less than 9¢ and wind electricity plus storage now is less than 8¢. Compare these consumer friendly costs to nuclear power that is now at least twice as expensive. Nuclear power still has a horrendous legacy of toxic radioactive waste that humankind and its nuclear industry still cannot figure out how to store for 250,000 years. Yet, Musk and Tesla have clearly shown that humankind can store solar electricity overnight. You may have heard me say before that building new nuclear power plants will make global climate change worse. First, designing and building each new nuclear plant will take between 15 and 20 years, just look at the Areva nuclear design failures in Finland and in France leading to at least a decade long delay. Vogtle in GA has been under construction for the past three years and is now three years behind schedule. And, such a waste of money on nuclear power will take that money away from the renewables that can come to market more economically and cleanly. Why would anyone want to spend 16¢ for electricity generated by a power plant that takes so long to build when electricity produced for less than half that price could be available in less than one year?(...)
