All Japan's reactors to be halted by early May
All of Japan's 54 nuclear reactors are to be suspended by early May, if none is restarted. Fifty-two of the reactors are currently suspended. Of the remaining 2, one is to be halted for a regular inspection scheduled to start next Monday, and the other is to be suspended in late April through early May. 37 of Japan's reactors were operating just before the start of the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi plant in March last year. The suspensions have not resulted in serious power shortages in the country over the past year. Attention is focused on how the government and power utilities will try to convince consumers of the need to restart reactors. Friday, March 23, 2012 15:11 +0900 (JST) |

Friday, March 23, 2012 15:11 +0900 (JST) Doing without energy and charging excessively for the reduced electrical capacity is all they can do. Japan still doesn't have a government, instead they have a mafia run by Big Energy. The cost of living in Japan has inflated by at least 25% if not by 50% when based upon using the same level of energy prior to those reactor meltdowns. From LEO, Japan via nighttime isn't half as bright. Having to live and work by a window or under skylights is not going to get them through these tougher years to come. http://groups.google.com/groups/search http://translate.google.com/# Brad Guth, Brad_Guth, Brad.Guth, BradGuth, BG / “Guth Usenet” |

Growing protests against nuclear power in India
Local residents in southern India are increasing their protests to block the start up of a new nuclear power plant, after police had temporally detained hundreds of demonstrators. The Kudankulam power station in the state of Tamil Nadu was completed last year and the government had planned to immediately start operations. However, opposition to the project by local residents has grown following the nuclear accident in Japan. On Friday, police detained about 500 protestors as a precautionary measure to prevent any disturbance. India's national and local governments have been trying to persuade residents to accept the nuclear power plant. They set up a panel of experts to convince people that atomic power generation is safe. However, the mass arrest of protestors is likely to spur on greater local opposition to the start of operations at the nuclear power plant. Sunday, March 25, 2012 04:52 +0900 (JST) |

GDP hit was from so many industries being shut down from earthquake yep theres a worldwide recession under way, the people know it soon government will admit it...... the very low level of water in the one fukashima reactor and the high radiation levels at the other 2, so high they cant look with a camera does not bode well for decominishing and clean up. the low water level one may not really be in cold shutdown, and even if it is how do they repair the containment? the fuel is likely thru the bottom of the containment, being close to the ocean may be helping to cool the fuel. Decades ago they could have been failsafe thorium fueled reactors. So it's decades of "I told you so" and now the next ten plus generations will get to pay like they've never paid before. BTW; I happen to have a spare home on 2.5 acres of radiation free land, that I'll sell or lease to most any large family from Japan, and there's no upwind chance of this large 4+ bedroom home with other nifty benefits ever getting radiated to death unless WW3 happens. http://groups.google.com/groups/search http://translate.google.com/# Brad Guth, Brad_Guth, Brad.Guth, BradGuth, BG / “Guth Usenet” |
