Special TEPCO release. This very detailed (and somewhat long) video gives TEPCOs complete analysis of the estimated condition of the reactor cores at the three Fukushima Daiichi plants that were on line when the March 11, 2011 earthquake hit. Complete details of the estimated condition of each core at present (late November 2011 – early December 2011) time are given. As of the production date of this video, no direct view has been made inside the dry well of any plant, and indirect assessment attempts have failed. As a result TEPCO has used a wide array of measured parameters, noted events and trends and computer and expert analysis to arrive at the conclusions discussed in this video. For explanation, background and summary as well as constant news updates on the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident see: atomicpowerreview.blogspot.com

Fukushima "Must See Incompetence" in Japan & update 2/19/12
Sorry, Ive been super busy, but I wanted you to see the first 8 and a half minutes of this video for sure. I have to agree with the second guy from Fukushima Diary, thats why I included it also… and skipped to Enenews headlines. Black Substance highly radioactive controversy ensues… I have my own ideas, but will only share them with you if you ask my opinion. NHK has been awfully quiet since the thermometer issue… so no real breaking news about that since the 14th last update. Ill be absent again for a while, but hope to catch up again when I return. Japanese Then-Chief Cabinet Secretarys Excuses枝野幸男vs村山誠一郎（Nov.2011) Uploaded by sievert311 on Feb 17, 2012 Please click on "cc" button if you dont see the English subtitles.字幕は「cc」をクリックすれば消えます。 This is a mirrored video from youtu.be This video clip is part of the questions and answers at the Lower Houses Budget Committee on November 8, 2011. The questioner is Mr. Seiichiro Murakami, MP, LDP, and the answerer is Mr. Yukio Edano, Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry. He was Chief Cabinet Secretary at the time of the Fukushima-1 nuclear plant accident. In the early days of the accident, Edano repeated the phrase "There is no immediate effect on health" at his press conferences, which successfully gave a false impression to the public that the accident is not a big deal and the radiation is not dangerous.

Arnold Gundersen On Fukushima Nuclear Radiation Update Part 3
www.emfnews.org Arnold Gundersen On Fukushima Nuclear Radiation Update Well, the nuclear fuel is placed into the nuclear reactor, and as long as the water is in there, everything is fine. But like when you overcook spaghetti, what happens? It can form a blob on the bottom of your pressure cooker. That is what happened at Fukushima. The decay products created enough heat to boil off all the water, the nuclear fuel collapsed, the pasta broke, and is now a blob at the bottom of the nuclear reactor. That happened in about 6-8 hours on Fukushima I and perhaps as long as 10 hours on Fukushima II & III. So the first phase of this accident is called a meltdown. That is when the pasta collapses and lays in the bottom of the pressure cooker. That is when the nuclear fuel melts and lays in the bottom of the nuclear reactor. Phase one is a meltdown. The second step in the process is something called a melt-through. Now we are at a point where we have got a blob of nuclear fuel at the bottom of the nuclear reactor vessel. TEPCO is saying that the nuclear reactor vessel is about 8 inches thick, about 30 centimeters thick, and that is enough to hold the nuclear fuel for quite a long time. I do not think that part of TEPCOs analysis is right. I have talked about it before, but on a boiling water reactor, there are over 60 holes in the bottom of the reactor for the control rods to go in and out. And the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has already identified that it is likely that the <b>…<b>

Fukushima Frozen Pipes Leaking at units 4 and 6 !!! Update 1/29/12
Frozen pipes cause leaks at several locations at Fukushima daiichi units 4 and 6, thats Right unit Six! Tepco lies and says the water was decontaminated when indeed only cesium had been removed. Big surprise… Change in food contamination rules… New cesium testing equipment ordered, but Japan still not testing for other radioactive elements. Japan to test plants and animals for contamination effects. IAEA to set up office in Fukushima. I say bring the top dogs from the IAEA and have them eat locally produced food only. IAEA to visit Iran to see que pasa. 3 more earthquakes today in Japan. Its only going to take "the right one to knock down spent fuel pool in unit 4 as it is already leaning. * #Fukushima I Nuke Plant: 17 Minor Leaks In Pipes and Valves Found in 2 Days, Freezing Temperature Blamed * UC Davis Researcher: Sea Water Can Corrode Nuclear Fuel, Forming Uranium Compounds That Could Travel Long Distance * Tokyo Metropolitan Government Stores Radioactive Fly Ashes in Plastic Bags Under Blue Tarp and Sand Bags in a Landfill in Tokyo Bay * Now They Tell Us: Detection of High-Level Cesium-134 in Nagasaki City in April 2011 * Kevin Maher: "US government was privately terrified over the unfolding crisis" over Fukushima I Nuke Plant accident * #Fukushima Governor May Do "Free Healthcare For Fukushima Children" Using the Fund Set Aside for Decon and Health Surveys * NY Chefs Learn about Japanese Cuisine, and CM by the Japanese Government Promoting Food in East Japan <b>…<b>

Most Explosive Nuclear video yet (read below) p1/2 Arnie Gundersen
This just wraps up the Entire Fukushima Dai-ichi triple or quadruple nuclear meltdown melt through Japan Nuclear disaster up in a nice neat bow. *****Please Note that Arnie Gundersen has "tempered his comments to avoid panic" thus far…***** If you have not been following along with this World Wide Epidemic, get a bucket and sit still . You may need washcloth to wipe the puke off your mouth after listening… HAPPY NEW YEAR! ____________________________________________ s the Japanese government and the IAEA protecting the nuclear industry and not the people of Japan by claiming that Fukushima is stable when it is not? Fairewinds chief engineer Arnie Gundersen outlines major inconsistencies and double-speak by the IAEA, Japanese Government, and TEPCO claiming that the Fukushima accident is over. Dynamic versus static equilibrium, escalated dose exposures to the Japanese children and nuclear workers, and the blending of radioactive materials with non-contaminated material and spreading this contaminated ash throughout Japan are only a small part of this ongoing nuclear tragedy.

One year after 3/11: First Anniversary of the Fukushima Catastrophe
www.greens-efa.eu Public Conference 7th March in the European Parliament. One year after the disaster of Fukushima it is time to analyse its profound consequences, both, in Japan, but also in the rest of the world. With the help of experts from Japan we will assess the situation on site and in the region around the Fukushima reactors. This should help to understand the health consequences as well as the social effects the accident had on the people that are still living in the area and those that had to leave their homes. We are especially honoured that the former governor of the Fukushima prefecture Eisaku Sato agreed to hold a keynote speech to share his insights regarding the disaster and its consequences with us. The Fukushima accident had consequences far beyond the borders of Japan. We will take a look at policy changes in Japan and in other countries and changes of public opinion regarding the use of nuclear energy as a reaction to the accident. We will also discuss the possibilities for a different energy policy in Japan and in the EU. The push for a safe and clean energy future is a challenge, but also an important opportunity.
