Some people sometimes always repeat that citizens are afraid by nuclear power because they are ignorant of the matter. This shows that the opposite can be very true also... A lot of them underestimate the risks because they are ignorant of them and believe in the "it must be safe" or "autorities...
Cesium contamination levels up around 10 times at the bottom of the ocean in some points 1 to 3 km around Fukushima site in September, trend to be followed up:

IAEA reorients the goals of japanese government for decontamination targets: protect populations is good, but "educate" people is better (and easier... maybe?)

Well...

I like this one...
Tepco is always giving extraordinary answers and justifications.

New polls confirm that a majority of japanese prefer to pay more for their electricity than restart nuclear reactors:

I still wanted to respond to this point from your post. Again, if the perception of public and media is like that, there are some reasons, whether you will find them good or bad. In my opinion, some are related to some kind of psychology, and some are facts related.
1- The tsunami is quick and...
Hi again Russ, i agree with you on this matter (I'm an engineer!) and i have to add that engineers are even better when they openly and honestly recognize that "they can't think about everything" ;o)
Now, back to the "safety factor". I agree that this is part of intelligent design, but of...
The french newspaper Le Monde (considered as "moderate" and balanced in France) just published an article about the workers of Fukushima, the french version is here:

Well, comparing a technological "disaster" or "accident" (as you want) to a natural disaster is somewhat a flawed way to represent things. We all know that natural disasters can be terrible in numbers of victims, and especially in a short amount of time: this tsunami was terrible, yes , and...
Well, what to say to this kind of article?
http://www.cfact.org/2013/10/12/physicist-there-was-no-fukushima-nuclear-disaster/
Some "nuclear people" should consider how to stay credible after that kind of event. I saw a lot of them sincerely reconsidering their position after the "impossible"...
Don't know if this was already posted here, but i didn't find it so i post a link to pictures and report about the broken joints on the stack structures of N°1 and 2 reactors. Some are of very good resolution.

Again, great thank you Tsutsuji for the confirmations and the translation of the map!
So do others here come to the conclusion that through the pumping of 6000/7000 m3/h into the port for cooling reactors 5 and 6, there is inevitably contamination that is therefore rejected directly into the...
NHK World has removed its "Data On Fukushima plant" link from first page, saw it yet at the end of August... Probably a side effect of the Olympic games strategy?You have now to click "311 Beyond stories of recovery" (nice!) logo and then the link to the "data on Fukushima plant" appears on the...
