In Japan, the cute macaques known for taking hot tub baths are now contaminated with radiation from Fukushima Daiichi. 61 monkeys living 70km (44 miles) from the GE designed disaster reactors are contaminated with cesium, blood tests show.
Japanese living within 5km (3 miles) of the Sendai nuclear power factory were issued iodide pills. This is because it’s likely the power plant will be allowed to re-start soon. For some reason many news media continue to incorrectly call the pills “iodine”.
In United States, investigators trying to figure out what caused the explosions inside New Mexico’s Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP), now think it was caused by a contaminated glove.
Their new hypothesis is that the glove contained radioactive metal particles that heated up when it came into contact with chemicals. Apparently this is not the first time this has happened: “Glove box gloves and nitric acid and lead have been implicated in other energetic events within the DOE complex.”-Nan Sauer, Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL)
All across the U.S., massive emergency response exercises are taking place. The scenario is a nuclear explosion. Some exercises already underway are part of operation Vibrant Response, which is conducted by the U.S. Army’s NorthCom.
Other nuke disaster exercises involve federal, state and local law enforcement agencies. On 29 July 2014, Idaho State University campus, in Pocatello, will be the site of such training: “This exercise is being conducted to evaluate the capability of local response agencies and other essential partners to effectively respond to and manage a simulated incident of significance on the ISU campus. In order to keep the drill as realistic as possible for the responders and other participants, we are not releasing a great amount of detail about the scenario.”-Stephen Hayward, Eastern Region for the Idaho Bureau of Homeland Security
In August, Army National Guard units will converge in Kansas for Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Enhanced (CBRNE) training. Those units are from the states of Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and Iowa. The training is known as Vigilant Guard: “This is the first time that all levels have been operational. It gives us a chance for the very first time to exercise the battle hand-off and participate as a member of a unified National Guard CBRNE response enterprise.”-Major Robert Cole, 73rd CST
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has been advertising for free (paid for by taxpayers) Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training. The next CERT training is this September.
