Nuo Fukušimos tragedijos praėjo daugiau kaip metai, tačiau informacija apie šį įvykį iki šiol lieka prieštaringa, neišsami ir netiksli. Fukušimos prefektūros, kur oras dabar užterštas radioaktyviomis medžiagomis, gyventojai grįžo prie įprasto gyvenimo. Jie tikisi, kad radiacija neturės jokios įtakos jų sveikatai. Tiesa, ramybės jiems neduoda per nepriklausomus šaltinius vis dažniau nutekanti informacija apie realias katastrofos pasekmes. Vidinis apšvitinimas, atviros evakuacijos zonos, radioaktyvus maisto užterštumas – visos šios grėsmės kelia didžiulį siaubą, kurio jie patys nugalėti neįstengs…

6. The reactors for Units 1, 2, and 6 were supplied by General Electric,
those for Units 3 and 5 by Toshiba, and Unit 4 byHitachi.
All six reactors were designed by General Electric.[5][6]
Architectural design for General Electric's units was done by Ebasco.
All construction was done by Kajima.[7]
Since September 2010, Unit 3 has been fueled by a small fraction 6%)
[8] of plutonium containing mixed-oxide (MOX) fuel, rather than the low
enriched uranium (LEU) used in the other reactors.[9][10]
Units 1–5 were built with Mark I type (light bulb torus)containment
structures.[11][12]
The Mark I containment structure was slightly increased in volume by
Japanese engineers.[13]

11. One reason the bluff was lowered was so that the base of
the reactors could be constructed on solid bedrock to mitigate
the threat posed by earthquakes.
Another reason was the lowered height would keep the
running costs of the seawater pumps low.
TEPCO's analysis of the tsunami risk when planning the
site's construction determined that the lower elevation was safe
because the sea wall would provide adequate protection for the
maximum tsunami assumed by the design basis.
However, the lower site elevation did increase the
vulnerability for a tsunami larger than anticipated in design.

18. The first of the Fukushima Daiichi reactors to be built, unit one lost
power at 3:41pm JST in March 11 after the earthquake and suffered a
hydrogen at 3:36pm JST March 12th.
The isolation condenser valve was closed in the initial response to the
earthquake, technicians were unable to reopen it after power was
lost.
The building‘s older design featured a sheet metal upper level that blew
out during the explosion leaving the building‘s roof laying on the
refueling floor.
It is now estimated that the reactor core melted to the bottom of
the reactor vessel within 16 hours of the station black out (power loss).
The melted core is also likely melted through the vessel and is
somewhere within the containment structure.
Tepco started to inject seawater into the No. 1 reactor at 8:20 p.m.
March 12, but at 7:04 p.m. JST that day, stopped it at 7:25 p.m. JST

21. The second of the Fukushima Daiichi reactors to be built, unit two lost
emergency cooling function of the ECCS at 4:36pm on March 11 after the
earthquake.
The pressure control function was lost at 5:32am JST on March 12th.
The reactor water level was found to be low at 1:24pm JST leading to the
conclusion that reactor cooling function had been lost.
On the morning of March 13 an attempt was made to manually open the
venting valve.
At Midnight March 14th, another attempt to open the venting valve was
tried. Sea water was injected into unit 2 in an attempt to establish cooling
functions at 4:34pm JST on March 14th.
It suffered a hydrogen explosion at 6:20am JST March 15th.
The hydrogen explosion blew holes in the suppression chamber. After this
incident radiation levels at the main gate spiked to doses reaching 11,930
microsieverts per hour from 73 microsieverts 3 hours earlier. The damage
led to leakage of the contaminated water into the rest of the building, then
into the ocean.
It is now estimated that the reactor core melted to the bottom of the
reactor vessel within 16 hours of the station black out (power loss). The
melted core is also likely melted through the vessel and is somewhere
within the containment structure. It is also likely that the lower
suppression chamber is damaged and causing radioactive water to leak out
of the containment.

24. The third of the Fukushima Daiichi reactors to be built, reactor 3 had the shroud
replaced in 1999. At the same time Fukushima Daiichi received it’s first shipment of
MOX (plutonium-uranium) fuel. Various issues and the rescinding of local government
approval to run MOX in unit 3 delayed the installation of MOX fuel until September of
2010. At the time of the earthquake unit 3 had a mixed load of MOX and LEU in the
reactor. It is unclear how many total MOX shipments were received at Daiichi and how
many total assemblies are stored or in use at the power plant. Records show unit 3 to be
the only one running MOX but MOX fuel must be stored in a spent fuel pool even if it is
unused due to volatility. Unit 3 lost all AC power at 3:42pm JST on March 11th. Loss of
the emergency core cooling function of the ECCS was reported to authorities at 5:58am
JST on March 13th. At 9:20am JST on March 13th the pressure relief valve for the
reactor was opened. At 1:12pm JST on March 13th sea water was injected into the
reactor. Pressure in the reactor reached 460 kPa beyond the design value at 6:10am
JST March 14th. Unit 3 suffered an intense hydrogen explosion at 11:01am on March
14th. At 8:32am JST an enormous amount of white smoke belched from unit 3. Self
Defense Forces attempted to drop water by helicopter at 4pm JST on March 16th but
was abandoned due to high radiation levels. At 9:48am JST Self Defense Forces
resumed helicopter water drops.
It is now estimated that the reactor core melted to the bottom of the reactor vessel within
16 hours of the station black out (power loss).
The melted core is also likely melted through the vessel and is somewhere within
the containment structure.

27. The fourth of the Fukushima Daiichi reactors to be built. At the time of the earthquake
unit 4 was shut down for extensive maintenance. The rod assemblies were removed
from the core and stored in the spent fuel pool. Some of the extensive work to be done
was the replacement of the reactor vessel shroud. Unit 4 lost AC power along with the
other units at the plant. At 4:08am JST on March 14th, the spent fuel pool at unit 4 was
84 degrees celsius. At 6:20am JST on March 15th a part of a wall in the operation area
of Unit 4 of Fukushima Daiichi was damaged. TEPCO provided no further details on this
damage. At 9:38am JST on March 15th a fire broke out in the reactor building of unit
4, the fire was reported extinguished by 12:29pm JST. TEPCO has changed their story
on unit 4 multiple times but eventually admitted to a very obvious explosion occurring at
unit 4. No video of unit 4 exploding exists to date and it is assumed the explosion
took place before dawn. One of TEPCO’s later admissions regarding unit 4 is that they
think hydrogen leaked into unit 4 from unit 3 via the venting pipes and a faulty valve. No
reason was given as to why unit 4 did not then ignite when unit 3 exploded.
The blast at unit 4 did extensive damage to the structural integrity of the building.
TEPCO has admitted the blast ignited within both the lower floors and upper floors of the
building. A concrete entrance garage can be seen to have the wall panels blown out. An
inner staircase was identified as destroyed by TEPCO. There is extensive obvious
structural damage. The spent fuel pool has been identified as leaking and unstable.
Work cranes have been seen working around the building.
The IAEA reported that on May 9th work began to structurally support the floor of the
spent fuel pool at unit 4.

Unit 5 was in cold shutdown when the earthquake hit.
No known major damage occurred at unit 5 and it managed to
maintain a somewhat safe status until AC power could be restored.
Unit 5 has a slightly different construction than units 1-4 including
outside vertical structural beams that can be seen in the image.
Reactor 5 had the shroud replaced in 2000.

33. The sixth of the Fukushima Daiichi reactors to be built. Unit 6 is the only
Mark II unit at the plant and has a different outer containment system
than other units at Fukushima. This unit was also in cold shutdown mode
during the earthquake.
It has no known major damage but has had issues with
contaminated groundwater in the turbine building. This water
infiltration could risk the cooling system function if it should reach the
reactor building. Two meters of water was discovered in the turbine
building in mid-May.
Unit 6 has not had the shroud replaced to our knowledge.
36. World Nuclear News, here.
It reports:
Japanese authorities notified the International Atomic Energy Agency of
their decision to up the rating:
―As a result of re-evaluation, total amount of discharged iodine-131 is
estimated at 1.3 1017 becquerels, and caesium-137 is estimated at
6.1 1015 becquerels.
Hence the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency has concluded that
the rating of the accident would be equivalent of Level 7.‖
37. The INES (International Nuclear and Radiological Event Scale (INES)
What the INES-7 Rating at Fukushima Means
38. What are some of the similarities and differences between
Fukushima and Chernobyl?
Both have involved breeches of radiological barriers and controls,
overwhelming of defence-in-depth measures, and large-scale release of
radioactive isotopes into the environment. The causes and sequence of
the two events were, however, very different, in terms of reactor
designs, the nature of the triggering events, and time-scale for
resolution — this is a topic to be explored in more depth in some future
post.
The obviously big contrast is in the human toll and nature of the
radioactive release.

47. Nuclear Energy Information Service
"Atoms For Peace"
For as long as there has been federal control of nuclear research and
materials, there has been an interest in using commercial nuclear
reactors as a source of materials to make weapons.
In the early 1950's it was recognized that the weapons program would
require more plutonium than could be furnished by the Atomic
Energy Commission (AEC).
One suggestion, made by Dr. Charles A. Thomas, then executive vice-
president of Monsanto Chemical Company, was to create a dual
purpose plutonium reactor, on which could produce plutonium for
weapons, and electricity for commercial use.
http://www.neis.org/literature/Brochures/weapcon.htm
48. In a document from the Los Alamos National
Laboratory dated August, 1981, one finds this
statement:
"There is no technical demarcation between the
military and civilian reactor and there never was
one.
What has persisted over the decades is just the
misconception that such a linkage does not
exist.―
("Some Political Issues Related to Future Special Nuclear Fuels Production," LA- 8969-MS, UC-16).
49. TEN FACTS ABOUT NUCLEAR WEAPONS
1. There are still some 26,000 nuclear warheads in the world, enough to destroy
civilization many times over and destroy most life on earth. Nuclear weapons make
humans an endangered species.
2. More than 95% of all nuclear weapons are in the arsenals of the US and Russia.
3. The average nuclear weapon in the US arsenal is approximately eight times more
powerful than the nuclear bomb that destroyed Hiroshima, immediately killing some
90,000 people.
4. There are currently nine countries with nuclear weapons (US, Russia, UK, France,
China, Israel, India, Pakistan and North Korea).
7. There are up to 2,000,000 kilograms of Highly Enriched Uranium (HEU) in global
stockpiles, and it takes just 15-24 kilograms for a nuclear weapon. There are
28 countries with at least one bomb‘s worth of HEU and 12 countries with at least 20
bombs‘ worth.
8. Plutonium created in nuclear power reactors is another source of bomb material.
It takes as little as three to five kilograms of plutonium to create a nuclear
weapon.
There are now some 500,000 kilograms of separated plutonium in global
stockpiles. Plutonium stocks continue to increase due to civilian ‗spent‘ fuel
reprocessing.

50. Americans cannot afford from a security standpoint to have
Japan abandon nuclear power. It‘s too important to us.
John Hamre, president and CEO of the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington
•―Nuclear power from the very beginning was (not only) a source of promise, but
(also) a source of great threat because nuclear power electric generation is
also the base for making nuclear weapons, and it‘s a great risk to the world to
have commercial nuclear power plants because there is a possibility of diverting the
material and turning it into weapons.‖
•―The countries that have given us the security system are going to diminish, and
who‘s going to replace them?‖
•―Americans cannot afford from a security standpoint to have Japan abandon
nuclear power. It‘s too important to us.‖
•―Citizens right now do not believe the government can protect them and they
don‟t have any confidence the government can provide safe nuclear
power‖
•―But if you‘re going to stay a rich and prosperous country, and if you‘re going to
help provide a global system of security, we‘ve got to rebuild confidence that
the government can indeed protect citizens and it can oversee this
industry and make sure that it‟s safe and reliable.”
•―There can‟t be any romanticism about alternative energy. If you‘re going
to be a modern, sophisticated economy, you have to address this question of
making nuclear power a legitimate source of energy.‖

58. Conflicting Mandates, Co-Opted Studies:
Atomic Energy Agency and the World Health Organization
Background: Conflicting Mandates
In 1959, the International Atomic Energy Agency(IAEA) and World
Health Organization(WHO) entered into an working agreement which is
out-of-date and conflicts with the research of the WHO to
determine the effects of ionizing radiation exposure on human
health. We are concerned that the language of this agreement (WHA
12.40 approved by the 12th World Health Assembly on 28 May 1959)
mingles promotion of nuclear technology, including nuclear power, with
the WHO‘s mandate to undertake international health research work on
people exposed to ionizing radiation-a product of this same nuclear
technology.
Specifically the WHO, as stated in its Constitution, has a mandate to
―promote and protect the health of all peoples.‖ Health is defined as ―not
merely the absence of disease or infirmity‖ but ―the enjoyment of the
highest attainable standard of health.‖ This highest attainable standard
―is one of the fundamental rights of every human being without
distinction of race, religion, political belief, economic or social condition.‖
In order to meet this objective, the WHO is ―to act as the directing and
co-ordinating authority on international health work… and to assist in
developing an informed public opinion among all peoples on matters of
health…‖

59. No confidence in the International
Atomic Energy Agency June 3, 2011
Firstly, the IAEA needs to guard against the spreading of nuclear
weapons – among others by overseeing that no nuclear material from
the nuclear industry is diverted for military use.
You remember probably their missions to Iraq and Iran.
Secondly, the IAEA draws up nuclear safety standards. These are
used as benchmarks in virtually all nuclear countries.
In the European Union they are even enshrined in law.
Thirdly, it controls research on health issues surrounding radiation
that should then feed into its safety standards.
Fourthly, it promotes nuclear power. According to the statutes of the
agency, the objective of the IAEA is to ‗accelerate and enlarge the
contribution of atomic energy‟.
Can you begin to see the conflicts of interest here? An organisation
charged with promoting nuclear power around the world also controls
nuclear safety and health standards.
It‟s like expecting a tobacco company to prevent lung cancer.

60. Greenpeace vs the United Nations.
The Chernobyl Body Count Controversy 18.04.2006
By Charles Hawley and Stefan Schmitt
In other words, coming up with a reliable estimate of the human costs of the
Chernobyl meltdown is politically loaded and extremely difficult. Everybody has a
guess, but they vary widely based on how a given study was designed and the
methodology used:
The IAEA says that 56 people died as a direct result of the
accident, including emergency workers sent in to fight the reactor fire
and nine children who died of thyroid cancer in the immediate vicinity.
The Ukraine Commission for Radiation Security claims that 34,499
emergency workers died as a result of having worked at the
disaster site.
An estimate by WHO from the year 2000 places the death toll among
emergency workers, radiation victims and suicide victims at
50,000.
The International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War, a
group which won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1985, says the death toll lies
between 50,000 and 100,000 among emergency workers and
those who helped in the clean up.
In a top secret report from mid-July, 1986, the Soviet communist
party put the toll at 26 dead.

West Coast
Presented: Oct. 16, 2012 in Hiroshima, Japan
Title: Assessment and characterization of radionuclide concentrations from the Fukushima Reactor
release in the plankton and nekton communities of the Northern California Current
Delvan Neville (Oregon St. Univ.), Richard D. Brodeur (NOAA), A. Jason Phillips (OSU) and Kathryn Higley (OSU)
The incident at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant released a substantial
radioactive contamination into the environment. With the predominant wind
and current flow in this part of the North Pacific, these radionuclides will
gradually spread to the US West Coast waters after a suitable period of
time, with the possibility of affecting food quality throughout the
food web (including humans). In addition to the passive transport by
currents and winds, the migratory pathways of large pelagic fish extend from
Japan to the Northern California Current. These organisms can serve as
transport vectors for these nuclides, especially given their capacity to
concentrate radionuclides from surrounding waters and prey. [...] By
predicting the radio-biologic stress (if any) for a managed species as more
Fukushima-related radionuclides are uptaken, appropriate action may be
taken before significant population effects have occurred.
Determination of natural background concentrations and high quality
transport models produced from these data also aid in management in the
event of a future accidental release, and in regulating safe activity releases.

157. Japanese engineer Masashi Goto, who helped
design the containment vessel for Fukushima's
reactor core
Masachi Goto
The engineer Masashi Goto says:
the design was not enough to withstand earthquakes or tsunamis and
the plant's builders, Toshiba, knew this.
He say:
that as the reactor uses mox (mixed oxide) fuel, the melting point is
lower than that of conventional fuel.
Should a meltdown and an explosion occur, he says, plutonium could be
spread over an area up to twice as far as estimated for a conventional
nuclear fuel explosion.

159. Секретно!
Масштабы катастрофы-ФУКУСИМЫ!
Истинные масштабы катастроф-ШОК!
Атомные электростанции выработанны,сроки эксплуатации вышли
во многих странах.
Жизнь всей планеты в опасности и все молчат.
Фукусима-взорвано 3 реактора,Чернобыль - 1 реактор.
Японцы молчат о истинных масштабах.
С Фукусимы радиация идет в океан уже почти 2 года -последствия
ужасающие!!!!
Так же в фильме рассказано о спутниках разведчиках с маленькими
атомными реакторами( 2 уже затопленно в Индийском океане).
Смотрите и передавайте всем !!!

D. Grybauskaitė
Naujos atominės jėgainės nauda abejoja mažiau nei trečdalis balso teisę
turinčių Lietuvos piliečių.
Nauja Vyriausybė ir Seimas turės atsižvelgti į dalies šalies gyventojų
nuomonę ir priimti Lietuvai naudingiausią sprendimą, - prezidentės nuomone
perdavė patarėja Daiva Ulbinaitė.

"Tokia nesąmonė skelbti referendumą apie elektrinės statymą ar nestatymą.
Tai pasityčiojimas iš tautos ir iš viso tokį klausimą kelti referendume
kaip rekomendacinį. O jeigu tauta nuspręs – nestatyti, o Vyriausybė
nuspręs – statyti?" - žurnalistams sakė V.Adamkus, antradienį parlamento
rūmuose sveikinęs Pasaulio lietuvių bendruomenės Seimą.
"Patys prieš save apsijuoksime", - tvirtino jis.

„Įvykiai Japonijoje niekaip nepakoreguos mūsų planų statyti atominę
elektrinę, nes net ir nenaujausios branduolinės technologijos parodė,
kad jos yra saugios“, – tikino Rokas Žilinskas.
Reaktoriai Fukušimos AE buvo įrengti prieš 30–40 metų.
R.Žilinsko teigimu, Japonijoje sprogo ne reaktoriai.
„Mūsų reikalas yra formuoti visuomenės nuomonę, kad branduolinė
energetika net nelaimių akivaizdoje yra saugi―, – akcentavo R.Žilinskas.

Didžiausias Rusijos sąjungininkas –
žmonelių kvailumas
A. Čekuolis
Čekuolio tvirtinimu, šiuo metu pasaulyje dirba 500 atominių jėgainių,
dar 150 statoma.
Pasak jo, per maždaug 35 metus būta 6 sutrikimų ir avarijų –
tai daug rečiau, nei genda automobiliai ir garvežiai.
A. Čekuolis aiškina, kad Fukušimos atominėje žuvo tik du žmonės –
palyginimui Lietuvos keliuose per savaitę žūsta daugiau dviratininkų.
Atominės energetikos entuziastas taip pat primena, kad nuotraukose iš
kosmoso Lietuva atrodo juoda – esą kas gali investuoti į tokią šalį.

Politikės B. Vėsaitės citata:
“Esu branduolinės energetikos entuziastė.
Dar daugiau.
Noriu pasakyti, kad tiek Europoje, tiek pasaulyje
vyksta branduolinės energetikos renesansas.
Europos šalys atnaujina savo branduolines jėgaines ir
stato naujas, nes tai efektyviausia priemonė pristabdyti
klimato kaitą planetoje ir mažinti anglies dvideginio
emisijas.
Be to, branduolinė elektros energija yra pigiausia po
hidroelektros energijos, įskaitant branduolinę saugą,
atliekų saugojimą bei laidojimą‖.

Balandį Japonijoje įvyko rimta avarija Fukušimos atominėje
elektrinėje.
Žemės drebėjimo metu ji išsijungė, tačiau dėl drebėjimo sukelto
cunamio neįsijungė atsarginiai siurbliai, turėję šaldyti reaktorius.
Įsiplieskus gaisrams reaktoriuose, į aplinką pateko radiacija, o patys
reaktoriai sugedo nebepataisomai.

Tačiau praradimai bus ne tik finansiniai, o ir valstybės prestižo, nes kol kas nėra
pateikiami jokie aiškesni paaiškinimai, kodėl šis projektas netinka.
Dar šiek tiek dėl nuostolių. Šiuo metu visiškai neaišku, kaip ateityje Lietuva, atsisakiusi
atominės energetikos, gamins elektros energiją ir ar apskritai ją gamins.
Nes matosi, kad jokios realios alternatyvos neturima.
Kokia tai suma? Jei jis bus nutrauktas, ar reikės mokėti kaţkokias
netesybas?
Jokių netesybų nebus, nes jokių įpareigojančių sutarčių nėra. Tiek, kiek
partneriai investavo, tiek ir yra jų pačių atsakomybė.
Lietuva jau yra investavusi virš 100 mln. litų.
174. Japanese tread radioactive water, attempt damage control

Currently, about 200,000 tons of radioactive water, enough to fill
more than 50 Olympic-sized swimming pools, are stored in gigantic
tanks built around the nuclear power plant, reported news source Al Jazeera.
The company predicts that the amount of water will triple within 3years.
―If you‘ve been exposed to Cesium because you‘re a nuclear power
worker, even after you‘re long dead and buried, your gravesite will be
radioactive,‖ said physicist Michio Kaku on CBS‘s ―60 Minutes.‖
Japan Nuclear Engineer:
―Mind-blowing… truly outrageous‖ — Many massive pools of
contaminated water are spread around Fukushima plant
―Your great grandkids can come with Geiger
counters and see that great granddaddy still has
radiation.‖
Two months after the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident in March 2011, a team of Japanese researchers collected 144 adult pale grass blue (Zizeeriamaha) butterflies from 10 locations in Japan, including the Fukushima area. By comparing mutations found on the butterflies collected from the different sites, the team found that areas with greater amounts of radiation in the environment were home to butterflies with much smaller wings and irregularly developed eyes.
