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.

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.

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.

I suspect the impending recession will help somewhat...


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.
