You all remember how I posted here long ago, about how bad it was for Japan, if not the world, regarding Fukishima.

Well here it is, in spades, and the problem has magnified MANY fold since then. They (Japan and its government) are now FINALLY admitting publicly that contamination is now 'out of control.'

Well no [bleeeep] sherlock. Problem is now its too late for any entity in Japan, or even the rest of the world to get this under control. 2 years of essentially melting right into the earth's crust, and out into the ocean has given that situation plenty of time to get worse by the second.

The amount of radioactive material is enough to contaminate the entire planet, 100's, if not 1000's of times over. Now that its largely uncontained (and has been since day 1, but no one admitted it), its an unending radioactive leak that will never be contained. EVER.

If it sounds bad, its because it is.

This is uncharted territory folks. What is now obviously well into groundwater, and has been going into the ocean for some time, is now not possible to ever contain. How to mitigate damage from this scenario is unknowable. Assume its never going to be contained, because there aren't any known ways or ever planned for ways to allow a situation like Fukishima get this far down the road, and not be contained by now. Not one thing at all has been mitigated in the past 2 years. Not one. This is now a hostility to the entire planet, and worse its a slow 'creep' or burn type of situation that will allow far more complacency than there already has been about it, and that only complicates the problem 1000 fold, as it needed to be properly and urgently addressed by every nation starting back 2 years ago.

Watchdog Issues Fresh Fukushima Radioactivity Alert

[...] Japan’s nuclear watchdog said on Monday that radioactive water is seeping into the ocean creating an emergency Tepco is struggling to contain. The contaminated groundwater has breached an underground barrier and is rising towards the surface, says the nuclear regulator. [...]

Masashi Goto, a retired nuclear engineer who worked on several Tepco plants [...] says the current situation is more than Tepco can handle. [...]

Tepco now admits that tainted water is reaching the sea, saying on Friday the radioactive discharge is out of control.

This is mow a major threat to all human life on the planet, as well as every biological organism that ever existed.

Cameco Welcomes Nuclear Commitment in Japan Draft Policy

Cameco Corp. Canada’s largest uranium producer, welcomed a commitment by Japan to nuclear power almost three years after the meltdown of three reactors at the Fukushima Dai-Ichi nuclear power plant.

As Prime Minister Shinzo Abe seeks the restart of the nation’s 48 reactors, all of which are idled for safety checks, the government yesterday presented its draft energy policy showing nuclear as an important component in the nation’s future
energy mix. Cameco rose the most in more than three years in Toronto and other uranium stocks soared. Paladin Energy Ltd. (PDN) surged 21 percent in Sydney trading today, its biggest one-day gain in more than nine years.

“To put it out now in black and white is very encouraging,” Cameco Chief Executive Officer Tim Gitzel said yesterday in an interview. “The process is unfolding as we thought it would, it’s just taking longer” than expected.

The only time I've ever seen you actually bring up a stock and it's an end-the-earth company. What a joke!

Brain-dead Fear-mongering isn't working

Vietnam plans to operate ten nuclear power plants by 2030

Vietnam expects to finish building and start operating more than ten nuclear power engines with a total capacity of around 15,000 – 16,000 megawatts per year by 2030, the Department of Thermal and Nuclear Power has announced.

Le Van Luc, head of the department under the Ministry of Industry and Trade, said the capacity produced by the ten plants will account for around 10 percent of the total capacity of the country’s power system.

The Fukushima Fearmongers - What unites the left and right: a radioactive plume headed for the West Coast

Both the government conspiracy theorists on the far right, such as 9/11 truther Alex Jones, and the anti-nuclear environmentalists on the left have written extensively about the plume

When the plume reaches North America later this year, its radioactive concentration will be lower than it was right after the disaster by a factor of over a million.

The radiation released by the Fukushima disaster is dwarfed by the amount that naturally exists. Oceanographer Kim Martini wrote in Deep Sea News that the radiation recently measured in a single tuna—a fish that travels near Fukushima on its migratory route—is equivalent to the natural radiation in nine bananas.
