Asean/Japan Quake n nuclear crisis apocalyptic..?

 

Today news reported that Fukushima plant springs yet another radioactive leak, leaking from a pipe as work crews were trying to empty reservoir. The latest news in an increasing long line of mishaps gave rattle public confidence.

 

Bro this news is 2011 July , any other updated news? Thx to share

Recent studies also suggest Japan continues to significantly underestimate the scale of the disaster which could have health and safety implications far into the future.....??

All told, decommissioning the plant will likely take 40 years.

Saturday - A 7.2 magnitude earthquake struck eastern Indonesia's mountainous West Papua province. The quake hit 256 km (159 miles) east of Enarotali and was 58 km (36 miles) deep, the U.S. Geological Survey said.

An Indonesian meteorological survey official said the quake struck on land and Indonesian archipelago sit on Pacific's " Ring of Fire" and gets regular earthquakes.

A magnitude 9.1 quake struck the northern Indo province of Aceh in 2004 triggering huge tsunami waves which killed more than 230,000 people in 13 countries around the Indian Ocean.

SEATTLE (Friday-Reuters) - Six underground storage tanks at Hanford Nuclear Reservation along the Columbia river. Washington state were recently found tobe leaking radioactive waste, but there is no immediate risk to human health.


The seeping waste adds to decades of soil contamination caused by leaking storage tanks at Hanford in the past and threatens under ground water to the Columbia river).

OLD NEWS-JAPAN

Leak of highly radioactive water had been discovered and radiation of more than 7.5 million times the legal limit was found in the sea near the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, prompting fears about seafood safety.

Enormous readings like these compelled the Japanese govt to set up its first ever radiation safety standards for fish. It's already known that some fish caught off Japan would have exceeded the new limit.

Fishermen pessimistic...........:(

Friday - The largest nuclear power plant in the world may be forced to shut down under tightened rules proposed by Japan's new nuclear watchdog aimed at safeguarding against earthquakes. Fukushima operator Tokyo Electric Power's vast Kashiwazaki-Kariwa plant in central Japan could be on the chopping block if the Nuclear Regulation Authority expands the definition of an active fault.

The movement of a fault -- a crack in the earth's crust -- can generate massive earthquakes like the one that sparked a tsunami that slammed into the Fukushima Daiichi plant in March 2011, setting off the worst atomic crisis in a generation. The watchdog is planning to define an active fault as one within the past 400,000 years, rather than the current 120,000 to 130,000-year limit, which could spell the end of the TEPCO plant.

" The new guidelines will be put into effect in July, and will re-evaluate the safety of each of Japan's nuclear plants," adding no decisions would be made until the new rules were in place. At least two " non-active" faults underneath the site's reactors could be ensnared by the new definition, forcing its closure, according to a report in the mass-circulation Yomiuri Shimbun newspaper on Friday.

Other Japanese media have carried similar reports. TEPCO was conducting more tests on the faults underneath the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa plant, the world's biggest by generating capacity. The NRA is conducting or planning to conduct investigations into six other nuclear plants in Japan.

At present only two of the country's 50 reactors are operational, after the entire stable was shuttered over several months for scheduled safety checks. Public resistance has meant the govt has been reluctant to give the go-ahead for their re-starting.

The two reactors that are working are both being investigated by seismologists.

Record high radiation found in Fukushima fish: TEPCO...Fish contaminated with radiation levels more than 2,500 times the legal limit has been caught near Japan's crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, its operator said on Friday.

Tokyo Electric Power Co. (TEPCO) said caesium equivalent to 254,000 becquerels per kilogramme -- or 2,540 times more than the government seafood limit -- was detected in a " murasoi" fish.

The fish, similar to rockfish, was caught at a port inside the Fukushima plant, a TEPCO spokesman said.

The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant was battered by a towering tsunami following a huge earthquake on March 11, 2011, causing reactor meltdowns which spewed radioactive contamination into the atmosphere.

Fishing around Fukushima was halted and the govt banned beef, milk, mushrooms and vegetables from being produced in surrounding areas.

Australian miner Lynas in eastern Malaysia Kuantan, Pahang  could curtail China's monopoly on the supply of rare earths for making high-tech goods.

Was just  wondering. Lynas is starting their operation, blessing from ruling Authority.

Hide it in under ground  for next  30yr to come  - in no man land,waste one whole  mountian??. where rain will drop there to wash away - hopefully n  slip into under water and so on.

How were they going to dispose off their toxic waste or let nature run it course?.
