Fukushima – WIPP – Radiation Fallout: Why does Rudolph’s nose glow? Because Santa’s Reindeer are radioactive! Why is Japan getting hit with so many hurricanes + earthquakes? EPA confirms airborne radiation at the WIPP! Nuke waste shipments on hold for two more years, or more!

11 October 2014 (16:40 UTC-07 Tango)/16 Dhu l-Hijja 1435/19 Mehr 1393/18 Jia-Xu 4712

United States: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) confirmed that some radiation escaped into the air around the failed Waste Isolation Pilot Project (WIPP) in New Mexico, but claims “The public doses were well below EPA’s standards.”

EPA also criticized the Department of Energy’s (DoE) air monitoring system: “EPA identified a number of areas needing improvement regarding DOE’s ambient environmental air sampling network, laboratory procedures and incident response protocols.”

More revelations out of WIPP.  DoE has revealed that one reason why the investigation and clean up is taking so long is that the main means of transportation down the 655 meter (2150 feet) shaft is broken!   DoE officials are trying to make it sound like it had nothing to do with the salt truck fire back on 05 February 2014, but that just happens to be the day the massive elevator stopped working.

DoE officials claim the hoist system stopped working because of soot accumulation on the electrical components.  Just more proof it was a massive fire.

WIPP is now affecting the state of South Carolina.  The Savannah River Site (SRS) has been told that nuclear waste shipments to the WIPP are on hold until at least 2016, or even longer: “Resumption of full scale operations at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant may not occur until 2019 and could cost up to $551 million, though initial operations are slated for resumption in early 2016 at a cost of about $242 million.”-DoE report

I assume this delay in nuke waste shipments also applies to LANL in New Mexico, INL in Idaho and other nuclear laboratories around the United States.

Japan:  I’ve written many times before about how heavy rain floods through the failed Fukushima Daiichi nuclear energy factory, getting contaminated and then flooding into the Pacific Ocean.  Anybody notice how many typhoons have hit Japan this year?  So far there have been 19 western Pacific typhoons, at least four hit Japan directly, and at least two came close enough to cause flooding in Japan.

Now, this years largest typhoon Vongfong (now rated category 6 supertyphoon) is heading to the big islands of Japan.  The current expected track of the supertyphoon will take it right over Fukushima Daiichi, it is expected to be downgraded by then.  On top of that, northeastern Japan was just hit by yet another 6.3 earthquake (followed by a 5.5 quake), in Amoroi Prefecture 400km (248.5 miles) north of Fukushima Daiichi!

About a week prior, Iwate Prefecture (also north of Fukushima Daiichi) got hit with a 5.3 quake.  About two weeks ago Fukushima Prefecture got hit with 5 and 5.1 quakes. About one month ago Iwate Prefecture got hit with a 5.1 quake.  That same month Fukushima Prefecture got hit with multiple 4 magnitude quakes.  About two months ago Fukushima and Iwate prefectures got hit with multiple 4 magnitude quakes.  Three months ago Fukushima Prefecture suffered a 6.5 quake and Iwate a 5.7 quake, on top of numerous 4 magnitude quakes.    There hasn’t been a month in 2014 when Fukushima or Iwate prefectures hadn’t experienced a single 4 to 6 magnitude earthquake.   In fact, the big island of Honshu has been racked by 4 to 6 magnitude quakes all year.

The German news source DW interviewed Michael Maqua, who works for pro-nuke GRS (Gesellschaft für Anlagen und Reaktorsicherheit).  He gave typical assurances that nothing will happen at Fukushima Daiichi when Vanfong hits, but gave this warning: “Apart from physical damages to construction equipment, we could expect radioactive isotopes from contaminated surfaces being washed away and transported into the groundwater or the sea. Over the past days, the concentration of radioactive substances in the groundwater has increased significantly at some of the plant’s measuring points and, according to TEPCo, this was caused by the recent heavy rains.” 

Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCo) has run out its latest unsecured debt financing, and hasn’t paid it off.  No problem, the Japanese government convinced the three banks to simply refinance TEPCo for another six months.  Those Too Big to Jail banks are Sumitomo Mitsui Banking, Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, and Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking.

It was revealed that not only has TEPCo failed to pay many of their throwaway workers promised hazard pay, but some of those that did get paid got a whopping $36 USD!  TEPCo had promised $180 per day in hazard pay.

Canada: The Canadian national government has ordered nuclear power plant operators to provide all residences, businesses and institutions living within 16km (10 miles) radius of nuke factories potassium iodide pills.   The decision was made by the Nuclear Safety Commission.  Back in June the NSC advised Canadians to stockpile iodide pills.

Norway: Scientists are alarmed over a sudden 5 times increase in radiation levels contaminating reindeer!

In September the reindeer had 82-hundred becquerels of celsium-137 per kilo.  Compare that to 2012 when they had 1500bq.

It’s not just reindeer but sheep as well, some have tested out at 4500bq!  600bq is the max limit considered safe to eat.  But Norway isn’t blaming Fukushima Daiichi, they’re blaming the 30 years old Chernobyl disaster.

Scientists claim that the gypsy mushroom is soaking up radiation contamination caused by Chernobyl after the 1986 meltdown: “This year, there has been extreme amounts of mushroom. In addition, the mushroom season has lasted for a long time. And the mushroom has grown very high up on the mountains.”-Lavrans Skuterud

Norway is 1686.5km (1048 miles) by air from Chernobyl.  This proves that nuclear accidents never go away!

“…you are killing us…!”

Fukushima

Fukushima – WIPP – Radiation Fallout: “…you are killing us…!” Incompetence & conspiracy at WIPP & LANL! National Security violations by LANL! EMP weapons revealed, to be used on you! Preps for war, or disaster? Japan doubles the number of radiation centers! They’re dropping like flies!

“It’s concerning that just a couple months ago, the scope of the problem was presented to us as one drum.  Now the scope being represented by the lab involves more high risk drums.”-Peter Wirth, state senator & chairman of New Mexico’s Radioactive and Hazardous Waste Committee

United States:  More strangeness taking place at New Mexico’s WIPP and LANL.  On  22 September 2014, a truck carrying 110 barrels of salt water to the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) tipped over as it entered the south entrance, spilling “about a five and a half barrels” of salt water.  The driver claims the brakes failed.

But recently released reports and public hearings revealing more dangerous strangeness.  During a recent meeting of the New Mexico Legislature’s Radioactive and Hazardous Materials Committee it was revealed that the employees of Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) might have been improperly packing mixed waste drums for some time now, in other words there’s more than one nuke waste drum out there with the potential to explode!

“There are two problematic drums, one of which they can’t even get at.  So if it were to explode, that’s a problem.”-Don Hancock, Southwest Research and Information Center

In February (after a salt truck fire), at least one mixed waste drum exploded.  So far investigations have shown it contained improperly packed items contaminated with radiation, which caused a chemical reaction explosion (it had reached internal temps of 340 and 870 degrees Celsius, 644 and 1598 degrees Fahrenheit).  The drum came from LANL.  The latest reports reveal that at least twelve drums in the WIPP are at risk of explosion!  And six potentially explosive drums are now at the Waste Control Specialists (WCS) site in Andrews, Texas.  They all came from LANL.

The state senators chairing the Radioactive and Hazardous Materials Committee told local news media that at their latest meeting with the U.S. Department of Energy (DoE), federal officials admit there are serious safety problems at WIPP, but they still don’t have a clue as to why things got so bad.  At least 22 employees are contaminated with radiation.  WIPP is still shutdown.

“We need air, you are killing us down here!”-WIPP employees begging for their lives during the salt truck fire, from court documents

Now concerning the salt truck fire that took place before the explosion(s?).  A lawsuit revealed that for some unknown reason the WIPP managers shutdown the ventilation system after the fire started, and while employees were still underground battling the blaze!

The lawsuit is the one brought by the WIPP employee who has to make numerous trips to a treatment center in Colorado.  The lawsuit includes sworn affidavits from other WIPP employees, including the driver of the salt truck.  They swear that while they were fighting the underground fire WIPP management shutoff their supply of air.   This is why the one employee suffered massive lung damage, from inhaling toxic smoke.

Perhaps management thought by turning off the air they could starve out the fire, however they could have also suffocated all the employees underground!  The affidavit says management never turned the ventilation back on, despite the pleas of the employees.  Also the emergency lights, alarms and even the fire extinguishers failed to work!

And the new contractor in charge of WIPP records is causing an uproar.  Rumors spread that Technical and Field Engineering (TFE) was about to secretly move all WIPP-DoE documents out of the state.  The president of the Tennessee based company recently swore to the Carlsbad Department of Development that they were not moving WIPP records out of state.  TFE is being paid $24.5-million U.S. tax dollars to ‘manage’ all WIPP-DoE documentation/records over the next five years.   It also appears that TFE will layoff employees.

It’s been revealed by Weapons Complex Monitor that there’s been a shakeup of the management at LANL.  This is part of a change in DoE policy, and officials from New Mexico say it’s about time: “The New Mexico Environment Department had been pushing DoE to make this change for a long time.”

The watchdog group known as Los Alamos Study Group accuses LANL contractor Los Alamos National Security of violating Nuclear National Security laws: “The reason this change is happening is because Los Alamos National Security errors shutdown WIPP.
This event has shed a glaring light on dangerous violations of hazardous waste law…..has been clear for a long time….the problems at LANL go deeper than a few individuals.”-Greg Mello

Now for something different: The U.S. Navy has developed new electromagnetic weapons!

In the state of Washington the USN is about to use such weapons in a war game.  It involves 15 aircraft and three RV sized trucks housing the EMP weapons.  The testing will be conducted on the Olympic National Forest and on land controlled by the U.S. Department of Natural Resources.

Officials with the  Pacific Northwest Electronic Warfare Range revealed that the true objective of the EMP trucks is to test the effects of electromagnetic weapons on humans: “….identifies the distribution of children and locations of schools, childcare centers, and family housing areas in areas potentially affected by implementation of the Proposed Action.

Human tissue is directly susceptible to shock or burns when metallic objects, which have absorbed high electromagnetic radiation, are touched.  This type of burn would be similar to the type of burn produced inside a microwave oven.

There are no conclusive direct hazards to human tissue as a result of electromagnetic radiation.  Links to DNA fragmentation, leukemia, and cancer due to intermittent exposure to extremely high levels of electromagnetic radiation are speculative; study data are inconsistent and insufficient at this time.

Strong electromagnetic radiation can cause fire if a wave were to create a spark near explosives or ordnance. Strong waves can also induce an electric current capable of overloading or destroying electrical equipment while less strong radiation waves can interfere with electromagnetic signals, such as radio, television, and telephone.”-Pacific Northwest Electronic Warfare Range statement available in PDF on U.S. Forest Service website

The USN is also going to target animals.  You can find that info in the PDF titled APPENDIX A SUMMARY OF SPECIES ANALYZED, EFFECTS DETERMINATIONS, AND REASONING.  It should be noted that U.S. Forest Service officials deemed the EMP testing as safe!

And more evidence the U.S. is preparing for a nuclear attack coming from the Caribbean.  For years the U.S. Army sent Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD) teams to Bahamas to train the Royal Bahamas Defense Force (RBDF), officially to teach the art of bomb disposal.  This year the RBDF conducted their EOD training at Fort Irwin, California.  But the officer in charge of the Bahamian military police unit undergoing the training revealed it was really about weapons of mass destruction: “It is amazing how something as simple as water could be used to disrupt components within a weapon of mass destruction without totally destroying it, so that the possible weapon could be investigated.”-Lieutenant Andrew Bowe, RBDF military police

For years U.S. taxpayers have been funding a U.S. DoE program that has been training Caribbean Customs-Port officials in radiation contamination detection of cargo on commercial ships.

Japan:  Disturbing news out of Japan.  An investigation by Kyodo News reveals a more than doubling of hospitals that can be used to treat victims of radiation contamination!

Prior to the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi explosions there were only 83 such hospitals, now the government is increasing that to 201.  The report says the push to increase the number of hospitals for radiation contamination treatment is being conducted at the local level, however, Japan’s Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) is also revamping medical procedures for treating exposure to radiation.

And there are more reports of the adverse effects of Fukushima Daiichi.  An ongoing study by Fukushima Medical University reports a huge jump in cancer cases, especially in children living near the failed GE designed nuclear reactors: “The study has been involving somewhat more than 400-thousand local children. And there have been results that have come in from about a quarter of million. We’ve had a 40 times the normal thyroid cancer death rate and a 40 times the normal or thereabout thyroid abnormality rate; cysts and tumors and other problems with the thyroid among children. And that number is going up, as you would expect, because the Iodine that came out of Fukushima affected people, but the effects continue to spread out over time and we expect the situation to get worse.”-Harvey Wasserman, U.S. journalist interviewed by Russian media

Another study, by University of the Ryukyus, is reporting that insects are dropping like flies around Fukushima Daiichi.  The study observed butterflies that ate radiation contaminated vegetation died early, and had mutations.  Biologist at the University of South Carolina called the study “groundbreaking”.

And at Fukushima Daiichi, Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCo) continues to deal with their failed ALPS decontamination system that keeps leaking radioactive water into the ocean.  This is strange because awhile ago they announced they were not going to use it anymore.

Also, TEPCo throwaway employees continue to report they are not being paid the promised hazardous duty pay.

Cosmic rays to be used at Fukushima! Hows your underwear? 

Fukushima, Idaho

Fukushima – WIPP – Radiation Fallout: WIPP employee lawsuit! France & Idaho connection to Fukushima & WIPP! Cosmic rays to be used at Fukushima! Hows your underwear?

14 August 2014 (01:47 UTC-07 Tango)/17 Shawwal 1435/23 Mordad 1393/19 Ren-Shen 4712

Customs/Port officials in Korea, south, have discovered a shipment of scrap metal from Japan is highly radioactive.  20 kilograms (44 pounds) of scrap metal was found to be contaminated with cesium-137.  They’ve ordered the ship to return to Japan.

Officials with the district of Hong Kong, China, are refusing to lift the ban on food from five Japanese prefectures affected by the ongoing nuke disaster at Fukushima Daiichi.

In Japan‘s Fukui Prefecture nuclear power plant inspectors have discovered a new danger; seawater pumps at Takahama Nuclear Power Plant could be destroyed by tornadoes.  Kansai Electric Power Company is now trying to protect the pumps with steel plates and steel nets.

A Virginia U.S.A. company (Decision Sciences International Corporation aka DSIC) has been hired by Japan’s Toshiba to use cosmic rays to scan the melted down GE designed reactor units at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant.

What most people don’t understand is that nobody has been able to see what’s happening in the reactors, because the contamination levels are so high that it will kill humans, and even the electronics in robots get fried if they’re in the buildings for too long!  This is why this disaster is ongoing more than three years later (and why I believe China Syndrome is now in play).

DSIC will use two muon detectors to scan the reactors.  The detectors will be placed in a reactor building,  on opposite sides of the containment vessel.  Muons are considered harmless, but they can pass through just about anything, however their direction of travel can be altered by dense objects.  The scanners will create a 3D image that will hopefully show exactly where the mass of molten fuel rods are.   By the way, Toshiba openly refuses to say how much they’re paying DSIC for the work.

The neo-imperialist government of Japan has announced it will spend  $3-billion USD to help Fukushima Prefecture recover from the ongoing nuclear disaster, but there’s a catch.  In order to get the money the municipalities within the prefecture must agree to become nuclear waste storage sites!

The bribe comes after three years of utter failure in filtering radioactive water at Fukushima Daiichi, prompting Tokyo Electric Power Company to call it quits, almost.

The experimental and expensive (TEPCo openly refuses to say how much it cost!) filtration system was only able to operate for three months before being repeatedly shutdown for multiple problems, mainly leaks.   TEPCo says there is another problem, radiation contamination.

The filtration system is so radioactive that it has become like the melted down reactors onsite; too ‘hot’ to literally handle.  This is the true reason for the abandonment of the Areva designed filtration system, because throwaway employees cannot get near the system just to perform maintenance!  A new ‘treatment’ system is being tried, and of course all the water that goes through these systems end up in the ocean.

Areva is a French company, and this brings us to Idaho, U.S.A.

Areva is a contractor at the United States’ Idaho National Laboratory (INL), and has just ben awarded a $34-million contract to turn the INL  into a low level nuclear waste storage site.  It involves building 200 concrete nuke waste trash cans (vaults) underground.

INL and Department of Energy also held a health conference in Idaho Falls, regarding the Radiation and Worker Health Program’s scheme (Special Exposure Cohort) in determining health problems caused by radiation: “If a person who worked at INL gets cancer and feels like their cancer is due to radiation exposure they received on the job, they could file a claim in this program and our job at NIOSH is (to) attempt to reconstruct the dose, that person received while they were here. You know how much dose they could have received. Once we have done that, the Department of Labor takes that information and determines whether their cancer was more likely or not caused by the radiation exposure.”-Stuart Hinnefeld, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health

It turns out that INL was chosen for the public forum because several hundreds of claims of radiation caused cancer have been filed!

A live reporter with local TV station(s) KIDK-KIFI reported that several DoE employees, and former employees, say their cancer caused by contamination claims have gone unanswered!   (It’s interesting that KIDK-KIFI did not put that info in their text version of the story, it was relayed by their live reporter)

The INL is also one of the major suppliers of nuclear waste to New Mexico’s Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP).  And speaking of WIPP, the first of what could be many lawsuits by employees has been filed.

It turns out the lawsuit was actually filed in May!  The waste handler claims he suffered several types of injuries during the salt truck fire, including inhalation of toxins.   He is one of at least a dozen people hurt during the February fire.  He is now having to travel to Colorado for undisclosed respiratory treatments.  The DoE has admitted that one worker is still undergoing treatments.  The employee stated that he’s constantly tired, and coughs and vomits “all the time”.

In United Kingdom, entrepreneur Richard Branson announced he would market radiation proof underwear.  They’re made with silver thread.  Scientist scoffed at the idea, after all if you could make radiation proof underwear then you’ve solved the problem for humans undertaking long distance space flight (with all that lethal cosmic radiation floating about).

“We’re preparing for the worst day in America.”

Fukushima

Fukushima – WIPP – Radiation Fallout: WIPP inspections never done! China Syndrome confirmed at Fukushima! Melt downs started 5 hours before originally thought! Pouring water directly on core made things worse!

06 August 2014 (12:37 UTC-07 Tango)/09 Shawwal 1435/15 Mordad 1393/11 Ren-Shen 4712

“We’re preparing for the worst day in America.”-Colonel Lawrence Terranova, U.S. Army NorthCom

Back in June I wrote how the GE designed reactor Unit 2, at Fukushima Daiichi, could very well be experiencing China Syndrome.  Now, Tokyo Electric Power Company confirms Chine Syndrome in reactor Unit 3!

TEPCo has now discovered that all the nuclear fuel rods in Unit 3 melted through the reactor core, and are working their way through the containment vessel!

It was also revealed that the melt downs at Fukushima Daiichi started at least five hours before an official government investigation stated.   Unit 3 actually began melting down at 05:30 hours on 13 March 2011 (The cooling system actually stopped six hours earlier than originally claimed.  You conspiracy theorist need to get busy with this one!).

TEPCo says melted fuel in the containment vessel halts their plan to decommission the reactors.   The ijits assumed the reactor cores were stable.  Another kink in their plans to decommission the reactors is the fact that all their attempts to filter radioactive isotopes out of the cooling water have officially failed.   So what now, you nuclear engineering geniuses?

TEPCo also discovered that pouring water directly on the reactor cores back in 2011 made things worse, by creating a chemical reaction that built up explosive hydrogen gas.

Japanese news media have revealed that TEPCo is fudging on its ice wall attempt.  They’re supposed to be using a giant frigeration system to freeze the ground around Fukushima Daiichi, in the hopes it will stop contaminated groundwater from getting into the ocean.  However, TEPCo now admits they’re dumping 15-tons of huge ice blocks, per day, into the trenches meant for the in-ground AC unit.   They claim they are only trying to “speed things up”.  Why can’t they just admit they don’t know what they’re doing and start dumping concrete on the whole thing?

And now for some more bad news:  Japan has been hit with massive amounts of rain, this means Fukushima Daiichi is flooding even more radioactive isotopes into the Pacific Ocean.

In the United States: “A study from 2012 reports that the plume of radiation made a serious impact on Southern and Central California, with Southern California’s seaweed testing at a 500 percent higher level of radiation than normal…..

…..Elevated levels of iodine-131, which is a product of nuclear fission and exceeds the levels of contaminant permitted in the water supply, have been reported by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)….

….radioactive elements that are present in California are Iodine, Cesium-134 and Cesium-137…..

…the Japanese government’s Meteorological Institute, found that levels of cesium 137 at the surface of the Pacific could potentially be 10,000 times higher that the contamination at Chernobyl….

….In 2012 the U.S. government ordered 14 million pills of Potassium Iodide….”–Adrianne Hill

In New Mexico, more confusion about the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP).  This time it was revealed that federal Department of Labor’s Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) wasn’t conducting mandatory quarterly inspections of WIPP!

MSHA officials claim they were confused as to just how much authority they had at the Department of Energy’s (DoE) WIPP.   The DoE and MSHA signed a vague agreement back in 1987, but MSHA didn’t begin inspections until 1995, and even then they were sporadic.

In my last Fukushima posting I wrote about the massive nuclear disaster training taking place all across the U.S.  One of those exercises is being conducted by the U.S. Army’s NorthCom in Indiana.  The first half of the “premier” Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and Explosive (CBRNE) wargame was from 21-27 July.

An update on Vibrant Response 14 (VR 14) shows it has entered the second half (01-09 August), and involves 55-hundred personnel from FEMA, Homeland Security, National Technical Nuclear Forensics Ground Collections Task Force, Domestic Nuclear Detection Office, FBI, DoE, USA (United States Army), USAF (United States Air Force), USN (United States Navy) and more than 28 states including Alabama, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri and Ohio.

The Muscatatuck Urban Training Center (MUTC) is considered the best for simulating a nuclear disaster area: “This place is unreal! Considering how this whole place was once a functioning facility, this is probably the best place for my unit to get a feel for what we’d encounter during a real-life nuclear attack.”-1st Lieutenant Jeff Merritt, Indiana National Guard

The achilles heel of a nuclear disaster response is the same as for combat, logistics: “If the transportation mission wasn’t accomplished, Vibrant Response would not be possible.”-1st Lieutenant Mitchell Vaughan, Michigan Army Reserve

Massive False Flag exercise

 

Fukushima, Idaho

Fukushima – WIPP – Radiation update: WIPP explosion caused by glove? Massive False Flag exercise for nuclear attack on United States! Japanese monkeys contaminated!

29 July 2014 (23:15 UTC-07 Tango 28 July 2014)/01 Shawwal 1435/07 Mordad 1393/03 Xin-Wei (7th month) 4712

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.

Secret nuke dumps…. 280-billion Bq per hour spewing

Fukushima

Fukushima – WIPP – Radiation update: U.S. RadNet system finally back on line? WIPP contractor gets $1.9-million taxpayer bonus! Secret nuke dumps revealed? TEPCo admits 280-billion Bq per hour spewing into environment! Chernobyl still contaminating Blueberries!

23 July 2014 (09:29 UTC-07 Tango)/25 Ramadan 1435/01 Mordad 1393/27 Xin-Wei 4712

Out of Belarus and Russia, reports that blueberries harvested near former radiation contamination zones of the former Soviet Chernobyl nuke plant are still contaminated with cesium, almost three decades after the nuclear disaster!

The former contamination zones had been declared safe after tests for surface radiation showed radiation levels were down.  However, after blueberries were still testing for high levels of cesium-137 (in 2013), a test of of the soil showed contamination was still high underground, at root level.

Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCo) admits that ongoing debris removal at Japan‘s GE designed Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, is spreading trillions of becquerels (Bq) of radiation!   This is after a secret government investigation was revealed by Japanese media last week.

That hidden investigation revealed that rice fields outside radiation no go zones were being contaminated by cesium dust from the demolition of the building housing reactor Unit 3.  Today TEPCo is revealing it’s far far worse than that!

TEPCo officials now estimate that the demolition of the damaged reactor Unit 3 building, which started in 2013, has spread 1.1-trillion Bq of radiation, or 280-billion Bq per hour!  Now realize that’s from just one of at least four reactor buildings that are scheduled for demolition!

But wait, there’s more!  TEPCo admits that even without demolition of Fukushima Daiichi’s reactor Unit 3 building, the nuclear disaster reactors are still spewing 10-million Bq per hour of radiation!

People still living in Fukushima Prefecture are now panicking as TEPCo is about to start demolition of the top of the building housing reactor Unit 1.

If anybody was trying to use the United States RadNet system to monitor radiation, since the March 2011 Fukushima Daiichi disaster, they discovered the system was down.  Yesterday, the Environmental Protection Agency announced they’ve completed upgrades to the system, and it is supposedly up and running.

By coincidence, 20% of all RadNet monitors were off line when Fukushima Daiichi exploded.  One reason is that filters in RadNet had not been changed for months.  The EPA relies on unpaid volunteers to change the filters, which must be done twice per week!

The EPA says 92.9% of monitors are now operating, and they’ve added eight new monitors with plans to add eight more.  At this point South Carolina is the only state with no RadNet, but they are supposed to be getting one soon.   But don’t go cheering the EPA.

Reports say the EPA is also planning on increasing government limits on the amount of radiation exposure considered dangerous to humans!   A Forbes report said “…James Conca, senior scientist for the Institute for Energy and the Environment at New Mexico State University, believes the radiation emissions permitted by EPA ‘may increase more than tenfold.'” 

In New Mexico, to add insult to injury it’s been revealed that five days after a salt truck fire in the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) the Department of Energy gave Nuclear Waste Partnership a $1.9-million USD bonus, for “excellence”!

It turns out no action has been taken against any management official at WIPP: “No federal or contractor official has lost their job, been transferred, been moved off the WIPP contract or otherwise held accountable. No leadership has changed at the federal level. No company has lost a contract.”-Martin Schneider, ExchangeMonitor Publications

Former Atomic Energy Commission employees testified in court that the remains of the radioactive compressor building for the Huntington Pilot Plant was buried without being ‘decontaminated’ in a now secret Piketon, Ohio, landfill!

One employee suffered incurable radiation damage to his hands during the process of burying the ‘hot’ building.  The site was leveled in 1978-79.  Other employees described the contamination in the compressor building as “green stuff”.

Employees also testified that when they showed up for work, everyday they would have to clear the work site of fresh dead animals.   Another employee stated “The entire INCO facility was a DOE facility in that it processed , under contract, nickel scrap from the various atomic facilities, such as Puducah, Fernald, Portsmouth and other places… making each and every employee at INCO subject to the radioactive pollution that occurred . [We also ] confirm that there were releases of poisonous gases daily at nighttime at that facility and they would completely destroy the vegetation…”

 

Fukushima

Fukushima-WIPP-Radiation update: Proof WIPP bigger than reported! More reasons to stay out of the sunlight! Terrorist attack in California! U.S. funding shutdown exposes 500-thousand people to radiation! Radioactive trucks on U.S. highways? More reasons to avoid Japanese cars!

16 July 2014 (00:22 UTC-07 Tango)/18 Ramadan 1435/25 Tir 1393/20 Xin-Wei 4712

Cars coming out of Japan are still radioactive, according to government officials in Russia and the Central Asian country of Kyrgyzstan.

This year Kyrgyzstan has impounded at least 70 cars from Japan, for being radioactive.  Russia has impounded 132 Japanese cars at the port of Vladivostok, since January this year!

Officials in Kyrgyzstan say Japan has refused to take back the contaminated cars.

In Japan, it’s been revealed that in August 2013 the ongoing nuclear disaster at the GE designed Fukushima Daiichi contaminated at least 14 rice fields outside the 20km (12.4 miles) evacuation zone!

An investigation by the Agriculture Ministry discovered the unreported contamination.  It happened when Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCo) removed a large section of the building housing damaged reactor Unit 3.  The rice fields were hit with danger levels of cesium.  Not only did the action spread radiation to rice fields outside the evacuation zone, but to five other sites in Minami-Soma City.

But here’s the kicker, the government investigation report was finalized in March but kept secret from the public!  Only now is it being reported to the public, thanks to investigative reporters at the Asahi Shimbun.  This news has problematic implications for TEPCo, as it shows that the attempts to clear away damaged structures at Fukushima Daiichi is actually spreading more radiation contamination.

Researchers in the U.S. and Germany discovered the highest levels of UV radiation ever to hit the Earth!  The Liberty Voice reported “The UV fluxes were recorded 1,500 miles from the equator in the Bolivian Andes near small villages and towns. The radiation levels are far above the ones that are often considered dangerous for terrestrial and aquatic life.

…..In December of 2003, they found that ultraviolet radiation levels were indexed at 43.3……a UV index of eight or nine….is intense enough to authorize protection. A UV index of 11 is usually considered extreme.”

According to Space Weather, the United States Obama regime temporarily cut funding for NASA’s Nowcast of Atmospheric Ionizing Radiation System (NAIRAS), shutting it down in 2013.  NAIRAS warned of solar flares, which not only affect electronic equipment, but subject airline passengers and crew to high doses of radiation!   According to Space Weather the temp shutdown of NAIRAS resulted in 500-thousand people exposed to high levels of solar radiation, and will result in at least four cancer deaths.

 

In Colorado U.S.A., a dump truck driver pulled over and called for help when he was notified he was hauling a load of radioactive material!  His load consisted of old water pipes.  The North Metro Fire department responded and determined the radiation levels were   within safe limits.

In California U.S.A., a U.S. Navy investigation has confirmed radiation contamination under about 300 homes built on the former grounds of the Treasure Island naval base.   However, San Francisco officials are trying to claim the levels are still within safe limits.   A lot of property development and REIT money is tied up in the Treasure island housing project.  The USN is investigating radiation contamination that could affect 1100 homes!

In Berkeley, city officials are trying to do what San Francisco officials failed to do: Put cancer warning labels on cell phones.   The decision will be made in September.  Of course the cell phone industry has already sent a warning letter to the city officials.

At University of California Riverside somebody attacked other students with radioactive Phosphorous 32 (used in medical testing, fertilizers and glow in the dark stuff).  The attack happened in April, and was part of a series of massive vandalism that hit the genomics building.  A student discovered the radiation contamination while using a geiger counter during a routine check: “Based on all of the suspicious incidents in the lab, I believe someone was trying to deliberately sabotage the research of the lab. Furthermore, I believe that someone deliberately exposed lab employees to radiation with the intent to cause them serious physical harm.”-Tricia Harding, UC Riverside police

Engineers at Oregon State University claim they have developed a small hand held radiation detector, that can tell you what type of isotope you’re dealing with and the intensity.  They claim that once mass production begins you should be able to buy it for about $150 USD.

In New Mexico U.S.A., the U.S. Department of Energy is still trying to figure out how to get evidence of what happened inside the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant.  That’s because radiation levels are too high to allow humans to remain long enough to get good photographic evidence and a decent amount of small samples!

They tried to use a 27.4 meters (90 feet) long boom, but it wasn’t enough.  The latest plan is to link scaffolding together.   Obviously what happened at WIPP was bigger than what we’ve been told!

Fukushima-WIPP-Radiation Fallout: More proof nuke attack coming from America’s backyard? Proof Fracking uses radioactive material! Utah company denies ‘green’ cat litter caused explosion at WIPP, then fires 115 employees! Idaho’s Mike Simpson tries to take retirement money from nuke workers!

“We are learning that the nuclear accident didn’t contaminate the entire ocean, but created spots that tend to have higher radioactive levels than others.”-Blair Thornton, University of Tokyo’s Institute of Industrial Science

“…the average concentration of cesium-137 was 90 becquerels. But of the locations charted 4 km offshore, 20 sites measured higher than 1,000 becquerels and some locations 6 km offshore registered levels as high as 2,000 becquerels.”-The Asahi Shimbum, Study shows muddy seabed off Fukushima coast has higher levels of contamination

In Japan, the Fukushima Medical University reporting thyroid problems in children are now 40 times what is considered normal. National government officials deny it.

In the backyard of the United States, Bahamian officials have asked for international help in conducting health screenings for people living around the Freeport Industrial Park.  Back in January it was revealed that some products being shipped from Japan, and arriving in Jamaican and Bahamian ports,  are radioactive.

The Bahamian government now admits there are higher than ‘normal’ cases of cancer, birth defects and other health problems among residents living in towns around Freeport Industrial Park.  The area is the industrial center of Bahamas, and is also a free trade zone.  For the past 25 years residents have been reporting massive amounts of pollutants from the Park.  Government officials now asking Pan American Health Organisation (PAHO) and the UN World Health Organisation (WHO) to investigate.

U.S. taxpayers have been paying for radiation detection at Caribbean ports since 2009, under a U.S. Department of Energy (DoE) program.  That’s because your exalted nuclear industries are not as secure as you think.   In 2013, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirmed 146 “incidents” in which nuclear material was in some way compromised.  In other words, there’s a lot of nuclear material out there in the hands of who knows!  But wait, there’s more!  From 1993-2013 there have been 2477 “incidents involving unauthorized acquisition…..supply, possession, use, transfer or disposal…..of nuclear and other radioactive material” reported to IAEA, and that’s just from the countries that participate in the reporting!

A recent International Relations and Security Network (ISN) article gives a warning about how easy it is to get contraband, including weapons of mass destruction, through the ports of the Caribbean.  My own article, Will new 9-11 attack come from the new money magnet of Bahamas?, suggests that U.S. elected officials know of a coming 9-11 style attack.

In the U.S. state of Alaska, the lower Cook Inlet is being tested for radiation from Fukushima.  Non-profit Cook Inletkeeper is getting social media crowd funding to conduct the testing: “We recognize how important safe seafood and clean water are to Alaskans, not only for personal consumption, but also marketability….We’re sampling water, the FDA is sampling fish so it’s a complementary sampling regime.”-Bob Shavelson

In Ohio, a company called Austin Master Services has been given a license to store nuclear materials used by the petroleum industry.  Local residents were concerned about the whole thing, and company officials revealed that a lot of that nuclear material they’ll be storing/disposing of is used in the fracking process for natural gas.

Austin Master Services specializes in “site decommissioning”.  They use In Situ Object Counting Systems to determine if the radiation waste they collect from the oil industry is ‘safe’ to be dumped into your local landfill!

In Washington, the DoE is finally going to clean up the site of a major incident at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation.  It happened in 1976, and one employee was so irradiated he was called The Atomic Man.

A hot reaction caused a sealed glove box to explode, exposing the operator to a massive dose of americium (500 times safe limits).  The victim was so hot that he had to be initially handled by remote control.  He spent five months in experimental treatments, including shots of zinc DTPA.  He continued to have radical medical problems until he died in 1987.  Government officials declared that he died of a heart attack!

The room where the explosion happened is now going to be cleaned up, as part of ongoing demolitions of the Plutonium Finishing Plant.

It’s been revealed that contractors at Hanford have spent at least $3.5 million USD in legal expenses, and a U.S. Senator discovered that taxpayers are actually paying for those legal fees: “The Department of Energy may be providing an incentive to contractors to engage in protracted litigation with whistleblowers by reimbursing the contractors’ legal expenses.”-Claire McCaskill, Senator from Missouri

A long time resident and real estate developer in Hanford has died at the age of 79.  He died of leukemia.

Utah based EnergySolutions, which packages waste at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), denies their ‘green’ cat litter caused the explosions in its nuke waste shipments to New Mexico‘s Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP).   DoE investigators suspect organic cat litter found in the mixed waste drums absorbed and concentrated certain chemicals, resulting in a chemical reaction explosion.

Miles Smith, of EnergySolutions, says they followed DoE packing instructions and that a hot reaction could not have occurred from inside the drums: “…we don’t think it has the ability to start burning on its own. It needs an outside source of ignition.”

Despite their denials, Energy Solutions has laid off 115 employees since the March WIPP explosions!  Some reports say it’s because their LANL contracted had ended, other reports say it’s because LANL has had to shift funds to the ongoing WIPP investigation.

The DoE has begun phase two of their WIPP investigation, which will include basically what they’ve been doing in phase one; a lot of observation.

It will include “restoring mine habitability”.  This implies the radiation levesl are too high for humans to remain long enough to conduct a proper investigation.  DoE admits they can’t even move the suspect mixed waste drums.

Meanwhile, U.S. Congressmen continue to screw around with funds for investigating the WIPP hot reactions.  This time employees of the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) were seeing their  retirement funds whittled away.  Congress wants to take $120-million from the retirement fund to help pay for the WIPP fiasco.  Idaho’s dynastic Mike Simpson tried to lie to the NNSA employees: “It’s a high priority for me that WIPP is returned to full and safe operations as soon as possible. There are some misunderstandings regarding the funding source…concerns that it would adversely affect contributions made into the department’s contractor employee pension plans. I would like to assure members that this bill will meet all requirements for employees’ pensions, which are contractual obligations assumed by the department as part of its operations and maintenance contracts.”

Despite Simpson’s claims, an amendment was introduced to try and protect the NNSA retirement money, and it was adopted unanimously.

Fukushima Radiation Fallout: Cancer treatment disfigures woman! Mystery disease hitting cows, as fish are shipped off to World Cup! Highly radioactive fish expected to hit Alaska in 2015? Canada ordering citizens to take Iodide?

24 June 2014 (00:51 UTC-07 Tango)/25 Sha’ban 1435/03 Tir 1393/27 Geng Wu 4712

“What if this started happening to people? We have to examine the cause of this and let people know what happened to these animals!”-Matsumura Naoto, Fukushima cattle rancher

“Our cows cannot be shipped as meat. They are evidence of lives affected by radiation…..The ministry told us they don’t know what is causing the spots. Well, they need to do more research and figure it out! They can’t just run away, saying they don’t know!”-Yoshizawa Masami, Fukushima cattle rancher

It’s been revealed that fish caught off the coast of Fukushima are being served at the World Cup in Brazil.  This is concerning after farmers from Japan’s Fukushima Prefecture brought a diseased bull to Tokyo to protest the government’s lies about the safety of food from that province.

Two farmers ignored evacuation orders and have remained on their farms, out of fear the government would cull their cattle if they left.  Now, after three years of nuclear disaster their cattle are getting sicker with an unknown disease.  The disease is affecting skin pigment, creating white spots.

One cattle ranch is only 14 km (9 miles) from the melted down Fukushima Daiichi.

The farmers also revealed that the government is actively hunting down abandoned farm animals and killing them.   If animal products from Fukushima are considered safe, why is the government spending so much money to kill free roaming animals?

If Fukushima radiation is not a threat to food sources, then why is the International Fish Oil Standards (IFOS) program going to start testing fish caught off Alaska, as well as Canada’s Pacific Coast, for Fukushima radiation starting in January 2015?

The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) is now recommending that Canadians who live within a ten kilometers (six miles) radius of nuclear power plants should stockpile potassium iodide pills (aka KI Pills)!  For some gott damned reason most news media still incorrectly call it potassium iodine.

Of course, the operators of Canada’s nuke plants are blowing off the concerns of the CNSC.  According to Canadian news reports mass distribution of KI Pills already took place in New Brunswick and in Quebec!  However, in 2013 and independent survey found that most Quebecois did not get the pills and didn’t even know about the distribution: “Almost none had obtained free pills that have been advertised in regional communications or pamphlets.”

In Kazakhstan, more proof medical radiation treatment for cancer is bad.  A woman got injured while watching a basketball game.  Her jaw was damaged, but for some reason the doctors claim a biopsy showed cancer.  They treated her with the standard radiation treatment for cancer.  However, she did not have cancer and the radiation treatment killed her jaw bone and skin around her mouth.  She was unable to eat and she dropped to 79 pounds!  Now doctors in the United States will attempt to reconstruct her jaw and mouth.

Fukushima, Idaho

Fukushima-WIPP-Radiation Fallout: Fukushima reporting intentionally dumbed down, police fail to stop massive looting, radiation is hitting the U.S.! Reactor 2 full blown China Syndrome? WIPP explosion could kill jobs in Idaho, South Carolina and New Mexico! Cell phones are False Flag birth control?

In Sudan, a Chinese oil company evacuated their employees when a radioactive oil exploration device was left exposed at the oil drilling site.  The device was supposed to be “secured” underground.  At least 70 employees are now under medical observation.  Sudanese news media broke the story, and also claim that the Chinese oil company, and the private hospital where the workers were taken, are trying to hush up the incident.

In the U.S. state of West Virginia, a shale oil drilling company has dumped radioactive sludge in a landfill. It was confirmed by the state Division of Water and Waste Management. The sludge was originally rejected by a Pennsylvania landfill.

“We’re still paying the mortgage on the Cold War.”-Scott Kovac, Nuclear Watch New Mexico

In the U.S. state of New Mexico, the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) cost taxpayers $2.5-billion USD just to build.  Now it’s shutdown because of what looks to be carelessness on the part of the operator and National Laboratories (which caused a truck fire and a chemical reaction explosion spewing radiation from the site), and could result in job losses at three National Laboratory locations.

WIPP was created to deal with the growing military nuclear waste being generated at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, Savanna River Site in South Carolina and the Idaho National Laboratory.   Since WIPP opened for business it has filled up 53% of its underground nuke waste storage, at a cost to taxpayers of $6-billion.   WIPP’s shutdown means those National Laboratories will be forced to cut back on operations, because there is nowhere to (legally) store the nuke waste they generate.

By the way, a subcommittee of the U.S. House of Representatives is recommending a bill to spend $120-million to clean up the mess caused by the WIPP disaster, and that’s on top of WIPP’s $220-million operating budget for fiscal 2015.

The U.S. Department of Energy is now considering the possibility that highly acidic waste was inside six of the mixed waste drums that erupted in WIPP.   The acidic waste reacted with organic (‘green’) cat litter (absorbent) also inside the drums.  Los Alamos National Laboratory is the source of the six drums.  LANL nuke waste operations are now under investigation.

Speaking of Idaho National Laboratory, the contractor operating the controversial site Battelle Energy Alliance is being sued by former employees and their families for exposure to plutonium.   The latest lawsuit says the contractor withheld information or offered false information concerning a 2011 leak, and that leak led to the contamination of homes.

In the U.S. state of Oregon, Oregon State University confirms that radiation from Fukushima Daiichi is building on the Pacific coast of the North America.  Radiation levels in Albacore tuna, caught off the coast of Oregon, are now triple what they were before the nuke disaster: “A year of eating albacore with these cesium traces is about the same dose of radiation as you get from spending 23 seconds in a stuffy basement from radon gas……”-Delvin Neville, researcher

In Japan’s Fukushima Prefecture, police have done a good job of keeping evacuated homeowners out of the radiation No-Go zones, but yet burglars are free to roam!  Prefectural officials have admitted that more than 1200 evacuated homes have been burgled since the disasters in 2011!   The failure of law enforcement was revealed by homeowners who were allowed to return home temporarily.   Police also admitted that in May of this year 90 burglaries took place!  One man has been arrested, and the big fail cops say they will now patrol the No-Go zones.

Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCo) discovered that the cooling water level in Fukushima Daiichi’s GE designed reactor Unit 2 is much lower than they thought. And gee where’s the melted nuclear fuel?  TEPCo officials found that the water level was only 30cm (11.8 inches) deep, and they could not see the melted fuel rods.  They said they didn’t know where the water was leaking out from.  Here’s my suggestion: China Syndrome.

There are reports saying that Fukushima Medical University claims that 48% of 375-thousand young people tested for contamination are now suffering from pre-cancerous thyroid problems!  Also, 120 types of childhood cancers have been found.  Normally they’d expect only three types!

A Korean journalism professor revealed why news about Fukushima Daiichi is so watered down: “NHK never showed graphic footage that could alarm the viewers, like the meltdown of the nuclear reactors. The broadcaster has a manual about reporting such accidents — they do not show explosions, or close-ups of the sites. They do not show dead bodies. They stick to these principles. NHK played a big role in assuring the Japanese people of their safety at such a difficult time for their country.”-Lee Yeon, Sun Moon University, who advocates such a misleading policy for news outlets

And Down Under, Radio Australia reported that the neo-imperialist Abe government of Japan has installed right wingers to run NHK (Nippon Housou Kyoukai/Japan Broadcasting Corporation), which will further reduce NHK’s credibility: “I’m disgusted by this. There’s some kind of right-wing revolution happening in Japan and they want NHK to be part of it. It threatens the existence of NHK as a public broadcaster and it will become the same as the broadcaster in North Korea.”-Kawasaki Yushuki, former NHK reporter

Yet more studies say cell phones are radioactive. At least 19 separate studies concluded that men who keep their cell phones in their front pants pocket are killing off their sperm.   Another study says pregnant women are affecting their unborn child’s brain development by blabbing on cell phones.   And if you think it’s all BS, then why does C/NET keep track of Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) data off cell phones: “…a handset’s SAR is sometimes printed in phone’s user manual, but where it is in those manuals and how it is listed can vary widely. Other times, the SAR is available only online, which forces users to hunt it down, possibly through the FCC’s Web site (not a fun experience, trust me). …..By posting our charts, we’re just making it easier for our readers to find the information that they want.”

C/NET offers this advice: A phone’s SAR can vary during a call as you alternate between transmission bands and as you increase your distance from a tower.
Text instead of placing a voice call or use a speakerphone or headset when possible.
Carry your phone in a bag rather than in a pocket. If you’re pregnant, avoid carrying a phone next to your abdomen.
Children, who have smaller and thinner skulls, should take extra care.
People of any age should not sleep with an active phone under the pillow.
Accessories may help….cases, which are designed to refocus RF energy away from your head while not reducing signal strength….By all means avoid the shiny, gold-lined radiation “shields” that you can find online. They’re a scam.
