After each major nuclear accident our establishment telling us the same: This was a warning to mankind. Either it is Three Mile Island, Chernobyl or Fukushima - they always tell that it was the last warning. After Fukushima we lost the whole ocean, what kind of warning is that? The same with doomsday clock which set in warning position, a few minutes before midnight. I believe after Fukushima the atomic-clock should now be set to after midnight - for they have dealt the death blow, but no - clock still shows the same time, a few minutes before midnight.
I remember Chernobyl happening and how frightening that disaster was, I fear that the impact will end up looking small next to the eventual totality of Fukushima.
+ZappaZappa BabuBaburu, Spinning the definition of renewable to meet an agenda is simply that... Spin... The only thing renewable about your current form of nuclear power is the hubris of a species barely out of it's evolutionary infancy. In the next century humans will easily live 200 year life spans while developing changes in technology and lifestyle to lower their impacts on the natural world. Your evolution is on track to succeed, if you can just manage to NOT destroy yourselves... Good*Luck & Have*Fun ;(
+PeaceProfit Einstein also commented on how it is insane to take on the risks of deadly NUCLEAR power for what? To BOIL WATER? As always follow the money and you will find that the NUCLEAR power was forced on Japan and the world after WW2 in order for the MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX to acquire more RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS IN ORDER TO MAKE MORE BOMBS FOR MORE WAR TO KILL MORE PEOPLE ANIMALS AND THE ENVIRONMENT. NO NUKES is the ONLY answer.
I have put off going to Japan for this reason....anyone who does risks irreversible molecular damage. The Japanese government can say there is no problem but that's reminiscent of an "ostrich with it's head in the sand" approach and has no effect on the realities. Unfortunately for Japan this will only be the first of many such incidences due to their highly seismic location on the globe.
Go to South Japan or Okinawa while you still can. I have some comparatively advanced testing gear (compared to what you see on TH-cam, anyway, this video from Greenpeace notwithstanding -- they use very similar gear) and see surprisingly no problems with food there. The air is probably safe, too, as Japan is rainy enough for anything emitted into the air to find it's way into it's plants right away. Great time to go. There's moderately more problems w/food on the US W coast, in fact, with low levels of radiation found in things like kale (not to mention the thallium other labs are finding). Naoto Kan, prime minister of Japan whilst the Fukushima disaster occurred, didn't/doesn't have his head in the sand. He had a lot to learn, sure, but he's not a denier. I think much of the problem is from the fact that nobody really knows what to do. The precautionary principle wasn't adequately used before these GE reactors were put into use, and remediation tech isn't advanced enough yet.
Still, there's hope. Radionuclide removal tech has been developed around the world, including, including at sometimes hated Brookhaven National Lab. Science is slow, but when there's enough data it hits hard like a freight train. Yet slow enough that primitive reactor technology shouldn't have been rolled out so quickly and comprehensively. However, positive evolution is happening. And in the meantime, we could at least roll out safer reactor tech (molten salt, thorium) and shut down the really primitive ones. And longer term, developer ever better solar, geothermal, hydro, etc, like Germany is effectively doing. Now nuclear stalwart France has gotten on the clean energy bandwagon, too. Things are changing for the better, even though it's too slowly to be fully gratifying. (unless you live in Germany, where you'd marvel at the rapid change)
Your wise to avoid Japan because of the highly radioactive dust strewn across parts of Tokyo and north eastern Japan. Amazing how delusional people can be as they just ignore irradiated areas of Tokyo that would be labeled high level nuclear waste is American which must be properly diposed of in accordance to U.S government standards. Girls a particularly vunerable to radioactive dust by inhalation or ingestion.
***** i was referring to the ordinary japanese people who have had to move away from their homes and farms and even have had to leave all their pets the japanese government and BIG business are the same as any government they put profits over people
just imagine , a knock on your door, instructed to leave immediately, not to bring anything at all, leave your pets , everything you own, be moved 60 kms away, never to return, lose your job, or somehow travel 60kms there and back every day, only to return to your caravan sized room with fuck all. yeah nuclear power. 40 years of power, thousands of years of waste mismanagement and genetic damage. its a nobrainer
+Christopher Liebler Watch the footage of the Chernobyl liquidators. Those russians shoveling off lethal radio active material. Some with their bare hands
If you add up the deaths caused by ALL nuclear accidents, it killed less people then died from contaminated water due to chemicals used in solar energy
Can someone please tell me if this is really GreenPeace's TH-cam channel ? The link for the petition is gone and this is a newer video. Good site but is this GreenPeace or different? Thank you.
May I have your written permission to reupload this on my channel, giving you full credit of course. Just wanting to get it more exposure to the world. thank you.
wheeping willow2 4U Who would want anything on your channel? You lie on every video, continue to lie even when proven wrong, delete and ban all that call you out, and then have the nerve to beg for money!
what happens when goods and food to be shipped to the US and Canada is placed in one of these zones beforehand, is there any radiation prevention in place at our ports?
@@micheleharris4768 Incorrect-solar and wind are viable energy alternatives but the greedy fools in control are blind to the consequences of radiation. You cant blame all when only a few are in charge of everything.
"Inside the Fukushima reactor | 60 Minutes Australia" video has been uploaded with no comments allowed so people that have differing opinions may not speak out and tell Joe Average Citizen that has no experience with nuclear reactors or chemistry that I DISAGREE WITH their assessment of the situation. I have worked for 42 years as a pharmacist trying to help humanity. I HAVE A GOOD RECORD OF SAFETY AND COMPLIANCE IN MY PRACTICE. I DO NOT ACCEPT ANY MONEY FROM ANY SOURCE RELATED TO THE NUCLEAR INDUSTRY OR ANY GREEN PEACE OR SIMILAR FOUNDATION. MY OPINIONS ARE MY OWN AND ARE NOT SWAYED BY MONEY OR OTHER COMPENSATION FROM ANY SOURCE. From my point of view, the attitude and arrogance of the people trying to "SELL" THE FUKUSHIMA DISASTER AND NUCLEAR ENERGY IS A DISGRACE TO THE HUMAN RACE. Their glibness is a sign that they regard this enormously hazardous subject with LITTLE respect AND ARE LACKING IN THE PROPER BIOLOGICAL SYSTEMS KNOWLEDGE. If you would like long-term studies the nuclear disaster at Fukushima has done and will continue to do look at Nagasaki and Hiroshima. There are many long-term studies of nuclear radiation from those two sites. The medical photos of the wretched souls affected by the nuclear radio-active waste will make the most hardened practitioner nauseous and sick. The short-term burns were avoided due to evacuation, but the long-term effects OF CANCER, LEUKEMIA, BIRTH DEFECTS, DISFIGUREMENT, REPRODUCTIVE DISORDERS, THYROID DISEASE, BLOOD DISEASES AND DISORDERS, MYASTHENIAS, AGRANULOCYTOSIS, IRREVERSIBLE MOLECULAR DAMAGE remain. Look at the ocean beside Fukushima devoid of life becoming a toxic slime wasteland covered in nuclear radioactive waste spreading out across the ENTIRE PACIFIC OCEAN. FUKUSHIMA, CHERNOBYL, THREE MILE ISLAND, AND HANFORD HAVE BEEN WARNINGS EACH INCREASING IN SEVERITY AS AN OBVIOUS SIGN TO HUMANITY THAT THIS IS TRULY THE FORBIDDEN FRUIT. THE FIRST FAILURE AT FUKUSHIMA WAS HUMAN NATURE TO COVER UP THE MISTAKES. FUKUSHIMA SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN BUILT IN THAT LOCATION, BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOCATION THAT ARE SO OBVIOUS TO ALL EXCEPT THOSE SO BLINDED BY PROFITS THEY ARE UNABLE TO SEE THE DANGERS. THE RESIDENTS WERE NOT PROPERLY WARNED OF THE TRUE NATURE OF THE EVENT UNTIL SEVERAL DAYS PAST ITS BEGINNINGS. NOW AFTER THE UNITED STATES HAS DETECTED RADIO-ACTIVE CESIUM ACROSS THE ENTIRE COUNTRY TO THE EAST COST NO WARNING HAS STILL EVER BEEN GIVEN. IODINE MAY BE IN ORDER TO PROTECT YOUR HEALTH. CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN. IT IS ALSO MY OPINION THAT GREEN PEACE OR SIMILAR FOUNDATION SHOULD PLACE A VIDEO WITH THE SAME NAME AND DISCUSSION TO GIVE OTHER CREDENTIALED HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS A PROPER SOUNDING VANTAGE.
Thank you, good lady, yes, indeed. "Why did we build it in the first place?" Lately I've been viewing videos about Chernobyl, Mayak, Windscale. The plunge, the rushing speed, into the atomic era was altogether dizzying. We had and still have no business splitting the atom. But that argument is long since retired. Even were all the plants to shut down, all the reactors get cold, the contamination is vast. Global. Rivers to seas, winds over borders, radiated crops into animals into humans. I appreciate the view of the man in charge of decommissioning Fukushima Diiachi--to look ahead at what is viable and sustainable in terms of clearing and containment. All we can do now is mitigate. As to Fukushima itself? Why indeed? Such a small country where did they hope to contain the waste? And why build on the coast of a seismically unstable region? One prone to earthquakes and subsequent tsunamis?
Mad Man What long term effects? Show a scientific paper or marine biologist that implicates Fukushima or radiation as a causation factor in any of the world's ocean's problems.
th-cam.com/video/zaXKLz3X9aU/w-d-xo.html this is as close as you can get. Very interesting no real effects on fish. ( other than the fish in the immediate area.)I suggest that you all learn a little about radiation, half life’s, exposure, natural background radiation.
+Christian “Lizard” Wilhite >> In the time it took you to ask your question you could have found lots that's new. enenews dot com Take your time there's lots to learn.
Now towards the end of 2018 the pacific ocean is dead and the cores manufactured by GE are still melting down out of control with no technology to stop it or ever clean any of it up. We will all pay the price for this horror. THEY WILL NEVER DECONTAMINATE NOTHING FOR MILLIONS OF YEARS!
This proves that a percentage of people are insane when you see workers scrubing trees and rocks its conclusive. Why waste even 100 million on brushing rocks ? Its not only insane it looks histerically funny and so futile.
+Nancy Campbell Gibson raking - yeah its nuts we know and I guess some of these guys know that but I guesw its paid work. Still its just futile and maybe intime Tepco will realize this. As this disaster continues its going to be interesting to see what actually happens. this is a kinda like a laboratory to see how nuclear refugees cope from day to day. I think delusion is powerful weapon against reality its how people cope with these types of situations. Tepco should have put a 100 mile exclusion zone around it. At least that if not more but I guess thats not possible considering the amount of people that would be involved.
+Jackson Ryding This silly word "cleaning" is used dishonestly because the "elephants foot" is not "spilt coffee" its highly radioactive corium slag heap which I assume still emits gamma rays which is the problem. You cant just just wipe it with a wetex ( cleaning sponge) If they could get close enough and it was not highly radioactive maybe they could chop it up with a oxygen lance. You can't clean it up. All they can do is build a sarcophagus around it every 100 years to try to contain it for hundreds or thousands of years or longer. It is truelly ruthless, reckless and irresponsible to create such a huge potential disaster for not just the local inhabitants but also possiblely other countries. Those responsible for these potential problems should be tried by an international court and when found guilty should be executed. Only a psychopath could be this irresponsible.
People including young children are moving back there now. Tokyo Olympics 2020 have built stadiums in Fukushima prefecture. This is a disgrace. Greenpeace why has your voice not been more vocal on this?
None Of Nuclear Power Plant In Japan have done Stress Test, I recall they wanted to do it on paper only, Not the actual Physical Stress Test, All Of them were Not Sure if they will Pass The Actual Physical Stress Test.
Also,one small,yet VERY important,detail,that I have yet to hear,is that the meltdown happened BEFORE the tsunami!Thats right.A few hours BEFORE the tsunami,the entire island was warned to stay away from the area of the nuke plant.This has lead many residents to believe the meltdown happened before the tsunami.Which then begs the question of "how convenient was that earthquake?"
I know people who live there.And they say the warnings were sent out island/nation wide before the earthquake.All I am asking is why wasnt that discussed?Anywhere?!Why were the residents of japan warned to stay away from that end of the island HOURS before the earthquake.I was told the entire series of events of that day.And just like me remembering every single detail of my day on 9/11/01,you dont easily forget those kind of days.Thats all I am saying.Not trying to get into any kind of heated debate.Because at the end of the day no amount of arguing can correct this catastrophy.But it is a cureous detail that I havent heard from anyone besides common folks.
So glad you have joined us, Greenpeace, five years after everyone else. Perhaps you'd care to comment on if you think this is an ELE ? If you know what the acronym means. I do this for nothing, or less that nothing. I pay my internet costs out of my dole. So very glad I never donated to you.
The Japanese government apparently covers up what`s really going on in Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant and its surrounding areas. Recently Japanese media seldom touches upon Fukushima nuclear disaster, and we are eating vegetables and fruits which are grown in Fukushima, and fish which are caught off Fukushima. So far so good, but I`m very concerned that it might be too late when we recognize something goes wrong with our health.
I can never seem to agree with you, Greenpeace. You see, my English teacher used to be a member of Greenpeace in the 60's but she left. I used to be with you with the shell/LEGO thing when your "everything is not awesome" music video, but I discovered that most 4-8 year olds that play with LEGOs care more about the LEGOs themselves than distant bears thousands of miles away. Plus, all their lives they were probably taught to fear bears. But with this anti-nuclear thing, I feel that you ARE run by 4-8 year olds. For example, if an 8 year old hears "nuclear power", they will probably decipher it into 2 meanings: "nuclear" as is nuclear bombs and weapons of mass destruction, and "power" as something awesome, shocking and electrifying. An atomic bomb that electrocutes people is a terrifying thought, especially to 8 year olds. Knowing today's society, lots of adults will get this idea that nuclear power plants have the power of atomic warheads and spread the new "gospel" on Facebook to other easily-manipulated people. Eventually, millions of uninformed morons who can't even do a google search for facts will gang up and a new anti-nuclear ISIS will form. But this is judging a book by its cover, isn't it? Nuclear power plants, despite their name, are not atomic warheads. They cannot explode, it's just not possible. The only way it could "explode" is if steam builds up somewhere and bursts. The word "meltdown" is called a "meltdown" because it does just that: the fuel melts and obeys the laws of gravity. When a meltdown occurs, the nuclear fuel gets really hot and - big surprise - melts. Then it slowly melts other things in its way, growing weaker constantly. In the end, the nuclear meltdown is a barely-solid glowing mass sitting in a pit. The other drama is normal - building fires, paranoid people, and conspiracy theorists. And the leftover radiation? If I'm not mistaken, nuclear power plants use a combination of about 97% uranium 238 and 3% uranium 235. Uranium 238 has a half-life of something like 40 billion years. "Omg the radiations gonna stay for billions of years!" you might say. While technically that's true, because of its extremely long half-life, it will disperse its radiation slowly. Quite strange, isn't it? Iodine-131 has a half life of 8 days, which means that it will release the same amount of energy U-238 will in 40 billion years in 8 days! Only then will you have a problem. As for U-235? Well, my gray matter has let me down so I can't answer. There have been 3 major nuclear disasters in nuclear energy's history, which is pretty good. And as far as I know, they were all caused by bad engineers or workers. Let's compare that to, let's say, the aviation industry (which is a miracle according to Igor Sikorsky). Throughout its history, there have been thousands of crashes which involved major losses of life and - the most traumatizing part - loss of forests and animals! Why hasn't Greenpeace tried banning planes yet? I'm not quite sure. But I know 1 thing for sure: You can't blame the automobile industry for bad drivers; nor can you blame college football for bad sports.
1. I don't think Yakuza runs anything but crime. Even if they did 'run the nuclear power plant' and it had a meltdown or something you can't blame the entire nuclear power industry. That's like protesting the removal of cars because of drunk drivers. 2. You're right. The nuclear power plant can explode. But you know what can't? The nuclear reactor itself. So how can the building explode but not the reactor? Well, much like almost every other industrial building in the universe, they have pipes and cables. The cables can - I don't know - short circuit and heat up a tank of some fluid (i.e. water) which will expand and go through pipes and build up pressure until it explodes. With enough pressure, it could lift up many things and potentially start fires. and when a fire starts it could set a gas tank/backup generator/vehicle on fire... I would go on but that would take too long. Also when did scientific fact turn into "pure crazy"?
Jackson Ryding I must have not been very clear. I meant don't blame the nuclear power plant idea because people in Japan were making bad decisions. And I also didn't know they ran the cleanup but I don't see why that's important.
Yep. The Sendai plant on Kyushu must take the volcano into account. What if there was an unplanned-for level of eruption? EDit: Germany is moving toward reusable energy (not taking into account the toxicity of the solar collectors).
What type of radiation are they detecting? They never state the type. Is it alpha, beta or gamma decay? Alpha can be easily shielded by clothing and dead skin cells. Easily removed with soap and water. How short or long lived are the isotopes? It kinda seems like greenpeace is just walking around with geiger counters and just reading a screen without any understanding of the meaning of the readings. I may be wrong but an explanation that is a little more in depth would be nice
A peer-reviewed, satellite-based study published in 2014 found a significant increase in methane emissions from North Dakota and Texas where oil and gas production from the Bakken and Eagle Ford formations had been expanding rapidly. The study provides further evidence that the methane increase is from the oil and gas industry, Howarth said. If the magnitude of the recent increase in U.S. emissions is correct, that would call into question the conclusion that agriculture in Asia is responsible, Jacob said. "Thirty to 60 percent leaves room for something else, but still, that could be a tall order," Jacob said. "The jury is still out."
Sorry, meant to post..."Why did we build in the first place?" one woman asks. Same question people asking worldwide about nuclear. Governments deaf to us.
+ariesred777 You're right, but it's just some humans that are really into it. Probably far more in the past for the "theater" of war, before there was all this cool modern stuff to occupy our time. In fact, crime has fallen quite a bit in modern areas. Most humane beings just want to live happily, have fulfilling work, eat some nice food, get entertained or entertain, make and enjoy some beautiful children. They're simple. Of course you do need to defend yourself from time and time. This is how even simple people get involved in war. Starts w/ ideas of mass scale defense. A lot of times these bombs are just large scale knives, guns and brass knuckles we may use on an individual level. It's tough. A lot of the things we do in life that we don't want to do are really driven by defending against the small amount of truly sociopathic muckrakers. It's both interesting and sad how, with time, this spirals out of control
"Disaster" is too mild of a word for this sort of a thing. In fact, I believe we haven't invented a word strong enough to describe the situation.... Also it would be handy to know what kind of radioactive elements we are dealing with, what half life etc. Especially now it is getting dumped in the oceans.
The problem is NOT who's responsible, it has happened, it is too late to point fingers. No body is going to come out of the woodwork to become a scapegoat, these are facts. The ONLY things that are important now are that the continued clean up effort is effective as it can be. People living in "Danger Zones" need to be rehoused far away. The people are the important factor here, they have had something forced on them that they certainly didn't want nor deserve, they should be taken care of by their respective governments. But, this should have happened years ago.
Greenpeace stop judgeing the way the decontaminate. If you have all the answers, give them a good way to decontaminate. They are doing their best in the condition given. Nuclear waste and waesteland is something that no one knows how to handle
The truth is they can never decontaminate Fukushima, cuz Damage has already been done and everybody knows that there is a scarcity of land in Japan but Japanese govt should declared Fukushima as ghost town for the betterment of upcoming generation.
Mohit Why is that? No one has died from Fukushima radiation, there are no cancer increases, and the Japanese people still boast the longest life expectancy over the entire world. Duh.
Green Party US just delivered a letter on Fukushima in January. Very extensive. That said, if you think about it its sited in one of the worst areas with depth to bedrock about the height of two stacked World Trade Towers. Just doing Deepwater Horizon cost $20 billion dollars. Chernobyl easy Sarcophagus, $2.66 billion dollars Japan raised exposure limits to 20 times that of normal worldwide safe exposure at 1 millisevert a year as noted by the IAEA. As for 5 cm? Particles of radioactivity. can go 20 to 30 cm.
A really intelligent and wise decision on the part of governments would be to build many more nuclear power plants instead of spending the money on safe and renewable, non-polluting green alternative power sources instead. Then the future of humanity would be assured and we could all go off to bed at night sleeping sweet dreams, knowing that our collective safety was in capable and loving hands. .
actually, it would be much better to replace your bloody oil & coal plants, and why not petrol driven cars? of cource, todays nuclear plants can be dangerous, especially if you skip foreseeable dangers, but there are newer plants, also working differently than these early generations. you can claim all chemical and industries should be closed by the same sort of scares (after all, chemical industries have failed repetedly, so close all?)
+gyt hrtytrrt you got that right! We just all need to advocate for change we are killing everything. Killing the birds, fish, each other! The fish die then so do we! Something has to change and I know it sounds so cliche' BUT it's time we stop fighting one another! I think the population does want those things it's the evil govts!
gyt hrtytrrt the damage by nuclear powered subs sunk is nothing compared to the radioactivity spread by the numerious nuklear weapon tests blown there, then those atomic subs had one thing in common, they were military wessels (as far as I know, they (its not only soviet & russian, but USA:ian too) all was built to fire nukear weapons on other people, (then killing far more than ever possible by just reactor damage if they ever should have been used for their designed purpose in nuclear war) en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sunken_nuclear_submarines en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_submarine#Accidents en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nuclear_and_radiation_fatalities_by_country (And Some non-nuclear powered, but nuclear armed subs have sunk too!! ( Or runned aground as the soviet whiskey class U137 (a nuclear armed, but disel powered soviet sub did so here in Sweden 1981, seek "whiskey on the rocks" incident on google!)) then the reactors in those nuclear subs wasent made to be 100% safe, but powerfull, cheap and silent (and since they were/is designed to kill the world (big parts of the "other side" at least) Safety concerns if sunk/damaged was not in the highest part of the design list)... Besides nuclear subs, lots of deaths happened in chemical accidents too all over the world, you doesnt hear many trying to stop all chemical industries just for being "chemical"! Many however for being badly/dangerously designed and/or in dumb spots if accidents such as earhquakes should happen, thats ok to do against bad designs/placements of nuclear plants too. Nuclear power design with safety first (and new designs made to be unable to fail dangerously and to shut down automatically by basic natural laws instead of by (possible faulty or sabotaged) sequrity systems exists... (stupid people works against even building them!) A water dam broke in banqiao, china 1975 (its now rebuilt) killing about 171000 people directly and more in susequent dams failing downwards the waterflow due to that and the chaos afterwards before emergency arrived. And forcing about 11 million to flee!
gyt hrtytrrt you obviously havent read the abovr... Btw. my country has slightly more than 42% waterpower, 41% nuclearpower, slightly more than 11% windpower (not costantly since the wind doesnt blow all the time) 6%+ "renewable" (wood and similar) The rest (about 2.3% fossil powered) mostly only used as backup (when the wind doesnt blow for instance) Solar power, to low to be included Above....Now how many % have you of the above (besides 0% nuclear)? And sorry, there is no evil conspiracy all cooperating to hide data, individual countrys have sometimes tried, but they have been discovered soon by non-friends to them.
+gyt hrtytrrt its called "reality" but I understand that its scary idea for drug users as you conspirationists usually are (You started the insults, dont blame me! OK your not even legal age, buts that a poor excuse for bad manners, You might insult me for being confirmed for having a wheelchair if You must insult me, shows more of what personality You are!) see above about hiding deathrates after disasters didnt even work long in communists dictatures (even see the worst now, china, that didnt manage with the dam))
Greenpeace Europe are active, it is Greenpeace UK that almost never utter the 'N' word. Try asking their permanent UK staff "what is Fessenheim", they dont even have it vaguely on their radar.
+Graham Swallow Happy to stand half corrected on that, Graham. They've been missing in action on this one here in Oz, too, and I think it might be a case of the old ' If greenhouse is bad then uranium is good ' syndrome.
Hitachi, Westinghouse, Mitsubishi, and GE are dumping all of the contaminated, recyclable waste in blanket form over the entire country. Could use Chernobyl site or why not fly the garbage to the moon? Edit: Tepco is just the operateur of the plants, not responsible.
I truly believe it is all of "our" faults. In our quest for more. The folks whom work for Greenpeace that drive their cars to work and use combustion engines powered by fossil fuels. The folks that design and build photovoltaic cells that do not reintegrate back into the environment after disposal. Me, for using this computer with all of its disposal issues. More, more, more.... now, now, now.
They are still "reactors" & deal with unstable materials when an external force alters the environment they react within. It would be better to use Geothermal energy which can be tapped into all round the world. You only have to drill a few thousand feet before it becomes too hot to carry on drilling. But volcanoes are where the real energy lies! There's a Gold mine of unlimited superheated energy totally free just sitting there!!

I wonder why first nations have not brought some sort of law suite against this irrosponsable power comp. for destruction of salmon and other traditional food sources how did they ever think that plants like these on a coastline could of been a good idea .maybe those responcable should be brought up on crimes against humanities charges
Fund some really devoted organic chemists... to figure out how to re-bond the free ions onto molecules that will accept them.... now there's a thought. Physical chemists would do, except how would they pull the ions out of blades of grass?
I say make it international law that ban nuclear materials, anyone caught in possession of it or mining it should be put to death on the spot . no trials no lawyers, no appeals, no jails. just a .75 cent bullet to the head. Train a special world task force and grant them judge jury and executioner authority for all things that fall under that law. like judge dread; but judge RAD. anyone that tries to impede their job in anyway - ie. -private security, secret service, shall be considered to be guilty by association (unless they step aside and let the judge do his job) and given their .75 cent severance pay from humanity. UNTIL WE HOLD THOSE AT THE TOP OF THIS BUSINESS ACCOUNTABLE; NOTHING WILL CHANGE. MOTIVATE THEM WITH A FULL METAL JACKET, AND SEE HOW FAST NEW CLEAN ENERGY SHOWS UP TO FILL THE RADIOACTIVE VOID.
Tony Kuli International cataclysm? You mean the one where no one has died from radiation exposure? There was a car accident in Spokane yesterday that was more of an "international cataclysm" than Fukushima.
ES LAMENTABLE ESTA SITUACION EN JAPON. ES IMPERDONABLE LO QUE ESTAN HACIENDO O PERMITIENDO LOS POLITICOS JAPONESES CON TANTOS JOVENES Y HOMBRES Y MUJERES JAPONESES. CREO QUE JAPON DEBE DESPERTAR Y ENFRENTAR ESTA SITUACION CON MAS ENTEREZA, CON MAS ENERGIAS Y CON MANIFESTACIONES PACIFICAS. CREO QUE LOS JAPONESES QUE VIVEN EN LAS AREAS AFECTADAS SE ESTAN DEJANDO MORIR LENTAMENTE. VIVIMOS EN UN MUNDO DONDE LA RAZA HUMANA SE TORNA CADA VEZ MAS INDOLENTE, APATICA Y POCO SOLIDARIA. LA MAYORIA DE LOS JAPONESES LO SON DELANTE DE ESA SITUACION PORQUE NO LA ENFRENTAN.
I have great respect and admiration for the Japanese people, they do not deserve such fate, it just tears me apart to see all these cute Japanese women at risk. please, get rid of those reactors and use solar panels and wind turbines. humanity needs the contribution of such a magnificent nation, they are un replaceable. I wish you all the best of luck in your terrible challenge for all our sake.
WTF greenpeace you got to be kidding, you been silent for 5 years counting your money while other's (enenews,KB,Radchic) have been making a difference , hope your inaction was worth it.
After each major nuclear accident our establishment telling us the same: This was a warning to mankind. Either it is Three Mile Island, Chernobyl or Fukushima - they always tell that it was the last warning. After Fukushima we lost the whole ocean, what kind of warning is that? The same with doomsday clock which set in warning position, a few minutes before midnight. I believe after Fukushima the atomic-clock should now be set to after midnight - for they have dealt the death blow, but no - clock still shows the same time, a few minutes before midnight.
Whoever allowed it to be built so close to the coast needs shot
I remember Chernobyl happening and how frightening that disaster was, I fear that the impact will end up looking small next to the eventual totality of Fukushima.
Most folks I know find it so brain boggling that any kind of discussion is fruitless. This Will Not go away by not thinking about it.
The*Lesson... 'Keep it simple'... Nuclear power plants are the most complicated, most expensive, potentially destructive steam engines ever built.
+PeaceProfit ...but "it's renewable" as *they* say...

I have put off going to Japan for this reason....anyone who does risks irreversible molecular damage. The Japanese government can say there is no problem but that's reminiscent of an "ostrich with it's head in the sand" approach and has no effect on the realities. Unfortunately for Japan this will only be the first of many such incidences due to their highly seismic location on the globe.
+Samantha W well said.
Go to South Japan or Okinawa while you still can. I have some comparatively advanced testing gear (compared to what you see on TH-cam, anyway, this video from Greenpeace notwithstanding -- they use very similar gear) and see surprisingly no problems with food there. The air is probably safe, too, as Japan is rainy enough for anything emitted into the air to find it's way into it's plants right away. Great time to go.
There's moderately more problems w/food on the US W coast, in fact, with low levels of radiation found in things like kale (not to mention the thallium other labs are finding). Naoto Kan, prime minister of Japan whilst the Fukushima disaster occurred, didn't/doesn't have his head in the sand. He had a lot to learn, sure, but he's not a denier. I think much of the problem is from the fact that nobody really knows what to do. The precautionary principle wasn't adequately used before these GE reactors were put into use, and remediation tech isn't advanced enough yet.
Still, there's hope. Radionuclide removal tech has been developed around the world, including, including at sometimes hated Brookhaven National Lab. Science is slow, but when there's enough data it hits hard like a freight train. Yet slow enough that primitive reactor technology shouldn't have been rolled out so quickly and comprehensively. However, positive evolution is happening. And in the meantime, we could at least roll out safer reactor tech (molten salt, thorium) and shut down the really primitive ones. And longer term, developer ever better solar, geothermal, hydro, etc, like Germany is effectively doing. Now nuclear stalwart France has gotten on the clean energy bandwagon, too. Things are changing for the better, even though it's too slowly to be fully gratifying. (unless you live in Germany, where you'd marvel at the rapid change)
Your wise to avoid Japan because of the highly radioactive dust strewn across parts of Tokyo and north eastern Japan. Amazing how delusional people can be as they just ignore irradiated areas of Tokyo that would be labeled high level nuclear waste is American which must be properly diposed of in accordance to U.S government standards. Girls a particularly vunerable to radioactive dust by inhalation or ingestion.
+Samantha W Just don't swim in the water, lol
The real desaster is that because of this incident we refuse to use nuclear energy and instead let the whole world be destroyed by climate change.
Exactly.
thank you so much for this upload
it's a real shame for the japanese people japan is a really beautiful place
+truthfilter Until the next melt down.
***** i was referring to the ordinary japanese people who have had to move away from their homes and farms and even have had to leave all their pets the japanese government and BIG business are the same as any government they put profits over people
i know i agree with you
just imagine , a knock on your door, instructed to leave immediately, not to bring anything at all, leave your pets , everything you own, be moved 60 kms away, never to return, lose your job, or somehow travel 60kms there and back every day, only to return to your caravan sized room with fuck all. yeah nuclear power. 40 years of power, thousands of years of waste mismanagement and genetic damage. its a nobrainer
They are all completely insane

Rich K we are all guilty, if you've ever used electricity you have blood on your hands, as do I.
@@micheleharris4768 Incorrect-solar and wind are viable energy alternatives but the greedy fools in control are blind to the consequences of radiation. You cant blame all when only a few are in charge of everything.
"Inside the Fukushima reactor | 60 Minutes Australia" video has been uploaded with no comments allowed so people that have differing opinions may not speak out and tell Joe Average Citizen that has no experience with nuclear reactors or chemistry that I DISAGREE WITH their assessment of the situation. I have worked for 42 years as a pharmacist trying to help humanity. I HAVE A GOOD RECORD OF SAFETY AND COMPLIANCE IN MY PRACTICE. I DO NOT ACCEPT ANY MONEY FROM ANY SOURCE RELATED TO THE NUCLEAR INDUSTRY OR ANY GREEN PEACE OR SIMILAR FOUNDATION. MY OPINIONS ARE MY OWN AND ARE NOT SWAYED BY MONEY OR OTHER COMPENSATION FROM ANY SOURCE.
From my point of view, the attitude and arrogance of the people trying to "SELL" THE FUKUSHIMA DISASTER AND NUCLEAR ENERGY IS A DISGRACE TO THE HUMAN RACE. Their glibness is a sign that they regard this enormously hazardous subject with LITTLE respect AND ARE LACKING IN THE PROPER BIOLOGICAL SYSTEMS KNOWLEDGE. If you would like long-term studies the nuclear disaster at Fukushima has done and will continue to do look at Nagasaki and Hiroshima. There are many long-term studies of nuclear radiation from those two sites. The medical photos of the wretched souls affected by the nuclear radio-active waste will make the most hardened practitioner nauseous and sick. The short-term burns were avoided due to evacuation, but the long-term effects OF CANCER, LEUKEMIA, BIRTH DEFECTS, DISFIGUREMENT, REPRODUCTIVE DISORDERS, THYROID DISEASE, BLOOD DISEASES AND DISORDERS, MYASTHENIAS, AGRANULOCYTOSIS, IRREVERSIBLE MOLECULAR DAMAGE remain. Look at the ocean beside Fukushima devoid of life becoming a toxic slime wasteland covered in nuclear radioactive waste spreading out across the ENTIRE PACIFIC OCEAN.
FUKUSHIMA, CHERNOBYL, THREE MILE ISLAND, AND HANFORD HAVE BEEN WARNINGS EACH INCREASING IN SEVERITY AS AN OBVIOUS SIGN TO HUMANITY THAT THIS IS TRULY THE FORBIDDEN FRUIT. THE FIRST FAILURE AT FUKUSHIMA WAS HUMAN NATURE TO COVER UP THE MISTAKES. FUKUSHIMA SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN BUILT IN THAT LOCATION, BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOCATION THAT ARE SO OBVIOUS TO ALL EXCEPT THOSE SO BLINDED BY PROFITS THEY ARE UNABLE TO SEE THE DANGERS. THE RESIDENTS WERE NOT PROPERLY WARNED OF THE TRUE NATURE OF THE EVENT UNTIL SEVERAL DAYS PAST ITS BEGINNINGS. NOW AFTER THE UNITED STATES HAS DETECTED RADIO-ACTIVE CESIUM ACROSS THE ENTIRE COUNTRY TO THE EAST COST NO WARNING HAS STILL EVER BEEN GIVEN. IODINE MAY BE IN ORDER TO PROTECT YOUR HEALTH. CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN.
IT IS ALSO MY OPINION THAT GREEN PEACE OR SIMILAR FOUNDATION SHOULD PLACE A VIDEO WITH THE SAME NAME AND DISCUSSION TO GIVE OTHER CREDENTIALED HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS A PROPER SOUNDING VANTAGE.
Thomas D Harrell You lost me after you caps lock key got stuck. Fix it and try again.
What about the horrific nuclear reactor leaks in England----- years ago
Cap key is on
Thank you, good lady, yes, indeed. "Why did we build it in the first place?" Lately I've been viewing videos about Chernobyl, Mayak, Windscale. The plunge, the rushing speed, into the atomic era was altogether dizzying. We had and still have no business splitting the atom. But that argument is long since retired. Even were all the plants to shut down, all the reactors get cold, the contamination is vast. Global. Rivers to seas, winds over borders, radiated crops into animals into humans. I appreciate the view of the man in charge of decommissioning Fukushima Diiachi--to look ahead at what is viable and sustainable in terms of clearing and containment. All we can do now is mitigate. As to Fukushima itself? Why indeed? Such a small country where did they hope to contain the waste? And why build on the coast of a seismically unstable region? One prone to earthquakes and subsequent tsunamis?
Many thankxx for this vid.
Please, please do a vid on long term effects of this on Pacific ocean.
Mad Man What long term effects? Show a scientific paper or marine biologist that implicates Fukushima or radiation as a causation factor in any of the world's ocean's problems.
th-cam.com/video/zaXKLz3X9aU/w-d-xo.html this is as close as you can get. Very interesting no real effects on fish. ( other than the fish in the immediate area.)I suggest that you all learn a little about radiation, half life’s, exposure, natural background radiation.

Now towards the end of 2018 the pacific ocean is dead and the cores manufactured by GE are still melting down out of control with no technology to stop it or ever clean any of it up. We will all pay the price for this horror. THEY WILL NEVER DECONTAMINATE NOTHING FOR MILLIONS OF YEARS!
Nothing Less Than Epic Now here near the end of 2019 the oceans are still not affected and no one has died from Fukushima radiation.
I think the video has the location of Sendai wrong!! It is in the North of Fukushima.
This proves that a percentage of people are insane when you see workers scrubing trees and rocks its conclusive. Why waste even 100 million on brushing rocks ? Its not only insane it looks histerically funny and so futile.
+Bret Manitoba i thought the same thing when i saw that person scrubbing the rock lol.
+Nancy Campbell Gibson raking - yeah its nuts we know and I guess some of these guys know that but I guesw its paid work.
Still its just futile and maybe intime Tepco will realize this.
As this disaster continues its going to be interesting to see what actually happens.
this is a kinda like a laboratory to see how nuclear refugees cope from day to day.
I think delusion is powerful weapon against reality its how people cope with these types of situations. Tepco should have put a 100 mile exclusion zone around it. At least that if not more but I guess thats not possible considering the amount of people that would be involved.
+Jackson Ryding This silly word "cleaning" is used dishonestly because the "elephants foot" is not "spilt coffee" its highly radioactive corium slag heap which I assume still emits gamma rays which is the problem. You cant just just wipe it with a wetex ( cleaning sponge) If they could get close enough and it was not highly radioactive maybe they could chop it up with a oxygen lance. You can't clean it up. All they can do is build a sarcophagus around it every 100 years to try to contain it for hundreds or thousands of years or longer. It is truelly ruthless, reckless and irresponsible to create such a huge potential disaster for not just the local inhabitants but also possiblely other countries. Those responsible for these potential problems should be tried by an international court and when found guilty should be executed. Only a psychopath could be this irresponsible.
Living with a Fukushima disaster and dying from radiation at a young age.
many have died cleaning up Fukushima alone
People including young children are moving back there now. Tokyo Olympics 2020 have built stadiums in Fukushima prefecture. This is a disgrace. Greenpeace why has your voice not been more vocal on this?
Nuclear power is amazing but you cant build it in a place where tsunami is possible. Or 40km from active vulcano.
Here the bugs were gone last summer.... Now the birds or almost all gone, but a few are still around.
None Of Nuclear Power Plant In Japan have done Stress Test, I recall they wanted to do it on paper only, Not the actual Physical Stress Test, All Of them were Not Sure if they will Pass The Actual Physical Stress Test.
Also,one small,yet VERY important,detail,that I have yet to hear,is that the meltdown happened BEFORE the tsunami!Thats right.A few hours BEFORE the tsunami,the entire island was warned to stay away from the area of the nuke plant.This has lead many residents to believe the meltdown happened before the tsunami.Which then begs the question of "how convenient was that earthquake?"
I know people who live there.And they say the warnings were sent out island/nation wide before the earthquake.All I am asking is why wasnt that discussed?Anywhere?!Why were the residents of japan warned to stay away from that end of the island HOURS before the earthquake.I was told the entire series of events of that day.And just like me remembering every single detail of my day on 9/11/01,you dont easily forget those kind of days.Thats all I am saying.Not trying to get into any kind of heated debate.Because at the end of the day no amount of arguing can correct this catastrophy.But it is a cureous detail that I havent heard from anyone besides common folks.

The Japanese government apparently covers up what`s really going on in Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant and its surrounding areas. Recently Japanese media seldom touches upon Fukushima nuclear disaster, and we are eating vegetables and fruits which are grown in Fukushima, and fish which are caught off Fukushima. So far so good, but I`m very concerned that it might be too late when we recognize something goes wrong with our health.
I can never seem to agree with you, Greenpeace.
You see, my English teacher used to be a member of Greenpeace in the 60's but she left. I used to be with you with the shell/LEGO thing when your "everything is not awesome" music video, but I discovered that most 4-8 year olds that play with LEGOs care more about the LEGOs themselves than distant bears thousands of miles away. Plus, all their lives they were probably taught to fear bears.
But with this anti-nuclear thing, I feel that you ARE run by 4-8 year olds. For example, if an 8 year old hears "nuclear power", they will probably decipher it into 2 meanings: "nuclear" as is nuclear bombs and weapons of mass destruction, and "power" as something awesome, shocking and electrifying. An atomic bomb that electrocutes people is a terrifying thought, especially to 8 year olds. Knowing today's society, lots of adults will get this idea that nuclear power plants have the power of atomic warheads and spread the new "gospel" on Facebook to other easily-manipulated people. Eventually, millions of uninformed morons who can't even do a google search for facts will gang up and a new anti-nuclear ISIS will form.
But this is judging a book by its cover, isn't it?
Nuclear power plants, despite their name, are not atomic warheads. They cannot explode, it's just not possible. The only way it could "explode" is if steam builds up somewhere and bursts. The word "meltdown" is called a "meltdown" because it does just that: the fuel melts and obeys the laws of gravity. When a meltdown occurs, the nuclear fuel gets really hot and - big surprise - melts. Then it slowly melts other things in its way, growing weaker constantly. In the end, the nuclear meltdown is a barely-solid glowing mass sitting in a pit. The other drama is normal - building fires, paranoid people, and conspiracy theorists. And the leftover radiation? If I'm not mistaken, nuclear power plants use a combination of about 97% uranium 238 and 3% uranium 235. Uranium 238 has a half-life of something like 40 billion years. "Omg the radiations gonna stay for billions of years!" you might say. While technically that's true, because of its extremely long half-life, it will disperse its radiation slowly. Quite strange, isn't it? Iodine-131 has a half life of 8 days, which means that it will release the same amount of energy U-238 will in 40 billion years in 8 days! Only then will you have a problem. As for U-235? Well, my gray matter has let me down so I can't answer.
There have been 3 major nuclear disasters in nuclear energy's history, which is pretty good. And as far as I know, they were all caused by bad engineers or workers. Let's compare that to, let's say, the aviation industry (which is a miracle according to Igor Sikorsky). Throughout its history, there have been thousands of crashes which involved major losses of life and - the most traumatizing part - loss of forests and animals! Why hasn't Greenpeace tried banning planes yet? I'm not quite sure. But I know 1 thing for sure: You can't blame the automobile industry for bad drivers; nor can you blame college football for bad sports.
1. I don't think Yakuza runs anything but crime. Even if they did 'run the nuclear power plant' and it had a meltdown or something you can't blame the entire nuclear power industry. That's like protesting the removal of cars because of drunk drivers.
2. You're right. The nuclear power plant can explode. But you know what can't? The nuclear reactor itself. So how can the building explode but not the reactor? Well, much like almost every other industrial building in the universe, they have pipes and cables. The cables can - I don't know - short circuit and heat up a tank of some fluid (i.e. water) which will expand and go through pipes and build up pressure until it explodes. With enough pressure, it could lift up many things and potentially start fires. and when a fire starts it could set a gas tank/backup generator/vehicle on fire... I would go on but that would take too long.
Also when did scientific fact turn into "pure crazy"?
Jackson Ryding I must have not been very clear. I meant don't blame the nuclear power plant idea because people in Japan were making bad decisions. And I also didn't know they ran the cleanup but I don't see why that's important.
Yep. The Sendai plant on Kyushu must take the volcano into account. What if there was an unplanned-for level of eruption? EDit: Germany is moving toward reusable energy (not taking into account the toxicity of the solar collectors).
Wise words,we should do without so that we may leave behind a clean world.
Two guys with a rake? Two guys with a rake???
What type of radiation are they detecting? They never state the type. Is it alpha, beta or gamma decay? Alpha can be easily shielded by clothing and dead skin cells. Easily removed with soap and water. How short or long lived are the isotopes? It kinda seems like greenpeace is just walking around with geiger counters and just reading a screen without any understanding of the meaning of the readings. I may be wrong but an explanation that is a little more in depth would be nice
A peer-reviewed, satellite-based study published in 2014 found a significant increase in methane emissions from North Dakota and Texas where oil and gas production from the Bakken and Eagle Ford formations had been expanding rapidly. The study provides further evidence that the methane increase is from the oil and gas industry, Howarth said.
If the magnitude of the recent increase in U.S. emissions is correct, that would call into question the conclusion that agriculture in Asia is responsible, Jacob said.
"Thirty to 60 percent leaves room for something else, but still, that could be a tall order," Jacob said. "The jury is still out."
Sorry, meant to post..."Why did we build in the first place?" one woman asks. Same question people asking worldwide about nuclear. Governments deaf to us.
+Naomi Dagen Bloom For weaponry of mass destruction - WAR! nothing new to human nature.
+ariesred777 You're right, but it's just some humans that are really into it. Probably far more in the past for the "theater" of war, before there was all this cool modern stuff to occupy our time. In fact, crime has fallen quite a bit in modern areas.
Most humane beings just want to live happily, have fulfilling work, eat some nice food, get entertained or entertain, make and enjoy some beautiful children. They're simple. Of course you do need to defend yourself from time and time. This is how even simple people get involved in war. Starts w/ ideas of mass scale defense. A lot of times these bombs are just large scale knives, guns and brass knuckles we may use on an individual level. It's tough. A lot of the things we do in life that we don't want to do are really driven by defending against the small amount of truly sociopathic muckrakers. It's both interesting and sad how, with time, this spirals out of control
interresting , thanks
that's it ,nail in the coffin, straw broke on the camel's back, we're dead
No single nucleus power plant should be allowed o operate in Japan is too prone o severe earthquakes
"Disaster" is too mild of a word for this sort of a thing. In fact, I believe we haven't invented a word strong enough to describe the situation.... Also it would be handy to know what kind of radioactive elements we are dealing with, what half life etc. Especially now it is getting dumped in the oceans.
The problem is NOT who's responsible, it has happened, it is too late to point fingers. No body is going to come out of the woodwork to become a scapegoat, these are facts. The ONLY things that are important now are that the continued clean up effort is effective as it can be. People living in "Danger Zones" need to be rehoused far away. The people are the important factor here, they have had something forced on them that they certainly didn't want nor deserve, they should be taken care of by their respective governments. But, this should have happened years ago.
All could have been avoided by not shaving off the top of the hills to get the plants closer to the ocean.
Greenpeace stop judgeing the way the decontaminate. If you have all the answers, give them a good way to decontaminate. They are doing their best in the condition given. Nuclear waste and waesteland is something that no one knows how to handle
The truth is they can never decontaminate Fukushima, cuz
Damage has already been done and everybody knows that there is a scarcity of land in Japan but Japanese govt should declared Fukushima as ghost town for the betterment of upcoming generation.
Mohit Why is that? No one has died from Fukushima radiation, there are no cancer increases, and the Japanese people still boast the longest life expectancy over the entire world. Duh.
Green Party US just delivered a letter on Fukushima in January. Very extensive. That said, if you think about it its sited in one of the worst areas with depth to bedrock about the height of two stacked World Trade Towers. Just doing Deepwater Horizon cost $20 billion dollars. Chernobyl easy Sarcophagus, $2.66
billion dollars
Japan raised exposure limits to 20 times that of normal worldwide safe exposure at 1 millisevert a year as noted by the IAEA.
As for 5 cm? Particles of radioactivity. can go 20 to 30 cm.
A really intelligent and wise decision on the part of governments would be to build many more nuclear power plants instead of spending the money on safe and renewable, non-polluting green alternative power sources instead. Then the future of humanity would be assured and we could all go off to bed at night sleeping sweet dreams, knowing that our collective safety was in capable and loving hands. .
Oh oh oh oh the horrible sound of Fukushima silence
That's because no one has died from Fukushima radiation.

That's not going to fix anything., their idea of "clean-up" is a fucking JOKE. AND THEY ARE BURNING 🔥 SOME OF THE WASTE?! ARE YOU FUCKIN JOKING?!
you can't scrub radiation off!
We in America need to take the advice ... Shut down all nuclear plants! Just look at Hanford, in WA state. Reason enough!
actually, it would be much better to replace your bloody oil & coal plants, and why not petrol driven cars? of cource, todays nuclear plants can be dangerous, especially if you skip foreseeable dangers, but there are newer plants, also working differently than these early generations.
you can claim all chemical and industries should be closed by the same sort of scares (after all, chemical industries have failed repetedly, so close all?)

gyt hrtytrrt the damage by nuclear powered subs sunk is nothing compared to the radioactivity spread by the numerious nuklear weapon tests blown there, then those atomic subs had one thing in common, they were military wessels (as far as I know, they (its not only soviet & russian, but USA:ian too) all was built to fire nukear weapons on other people, (then killing far more than ever possible by just reactor damage if they ever should have been used for their designed purpose in nuclear war)

(And Some non-nuclear powered, but nuclear armed subs have sunk too!! (
Or runned aground as the soviet whiskey class U137 (a nuclear armed, but disel powered soviet sub did so here in Sweden 1981, seek "whiskey on the rocks" incident on google!)) then the reactors in those nuclear subs wasent made to be 100% safe, but powerfull, cheap and silent (and since they were/is designed to kill the world (big parts of the "other side" at least)
Safety concerns if sunk/damaged was not in the highest part of the design list)...
Besides nuclear subs, lots of deaths happened in chemical accidents too
all over the world, you doesnt hear many trying to stop all chemical industries just for being "chemical"!
Many however for being badly/dangerously designed and/or in dumb spots if accidents such as earhquakes should happen,
thats ok to do against bad designs/placements of nuclear plants too.
Nuclear power design with safety first (and new designs made to be unable to fail dangerously and to shut down automatically by basic natural laws instead of by (possible faulty or sabotaged) sequrity systems exists... (stupid people works against even building them!)
A water dam broke in banqiao, china 1975 (its now rebuilt) killing about 171000 people directly and more in susequent dams failing downwards the waterflow due to that and the chaos afterwards before emergency arrived. And forcing about 11 million to flee!
gyt hrtytrrt you obviously havent read the abovr... Btw. my country has slightly more than 42% waterpower, 41% nuclearpower, slightly more than 11% windpower (not costantly since the wind doesnt blow all the time) 6%+ "renewable" (wood and similar)
The rest (about 2.3% fossil powered) mostly only used as backup (when the wind doesnt blow for instance)
Solar power, to low to be included
Above....Now how many % have you of the above (besides 0% nuclear)?
And sorry, there is no evil conspiracy all cooperating to hide data, individual countrys have sometimes tried, but they have been discovered soon by non-friends to them.
+gyt hrtytrrt its called "reality" but I understand that its scary idea for drug users as you conspirationists usually are (You started the insults, dont blame me! OK your not even legal age, buts that a poor excuse for bad manners, You might insult me for being confirmed for having a wheelchair if You must insult me, shows more of what personality You are!)
see above about hiding deathrates after disasters didnt even work long in communists dictatures (even see the worst now, china, that didnt manage with the dam))
No animals any where. No birds and they never showed cattle left behind.
On a more positive note, a future technology may appear that can clean up the contamination. For instance, nano-robots (nanobots).
Please stop this insanity..
Then stay off the internet.

radionucleide particules pour des millions d'années ...
there are 4th generation nuclear reactors that are very safe. Thorium Molten Salt Reactor technology ( LFTR & MSR) seem very promising.
They are still "reactors" & deal with unstable materials when an external force alters the environment they react within. It would be better to use Geothermal energy which can be tapped into all round the world. You only have to drill a few thousand feet before it becomes too hot to carry on drilling. But volcanoes are where the real energy lies! There's a Gold mine of unlimited superheated energy totally free just sitting there!!
KINDLE Did you know that geothermal energy emits the 2nd highest amount of radioactivity after coal power plants?

Tony Kuli International cataclysm? You mean the one where no one has died from radiation exposure? There was a car accident in Spokane yesterday that was more of an "international cataclysm" than Fukushima.
ES LAMENTABLE ESTA SITUACION EN JAPON. ES IMPERDONABLE LO QUE ESTAN HACIENDO O PERMITIENDO LOS POLITICOS JAPONESES CON TANTOS JOVENES Y HOMBRES Y MUJERES JAPONESES. CREO QUE JAPON DEBE DESPERTAR Y ENFRENTAR ESTA SITUACION CON MAS ENTEREZA, CON MAS ENERGIAS Y CON MANIFESTACIONES PACIFICAS. CREO QUE LOS JAPONESES QUE VIVEN EN LAS AREAS AFECTADAS SE ESTAN DEJANDO MORIR LENTAMENTE.
VIVIMOS EN UN MUNDO DONDE LA RAZA HUMANA SE TORNA CADA VEZ MAS INDOLENTE, APATICA Y POCO SOLIDARIA. LA MAYORIA DE LOS JAPONESES LO SON DELANTE DE ESA SITUACION PORQUE NO LA ENFRENTAN.
Chernobyl was nothing compared and still Americans don't have a clue. Tuna has been very cheap here in America. Wonder why?
This is why we in the west must try and fight this TPP deal of death..
It's not nuclear waste it's slightly contaminated soil. The translator is useless or else he's lying.
I have great respect and admiration for the Japanese people,
they do not deserve such fate, it just tears me apart to see all these cute Japanese women at risk.
please, get rid of those reactors and use solar panels and wind turbines.
humanity needs the contribution of such a magnificent nation, they are un replaceable.
I wish you all the best of luck in your terrible challenge for all our sake.
BWR are not very much safe Japan should go for PWR
No more nuke
No, more nuke!
Horrible and it's getting worse, NOT better!
You Lie. No one has died and cancer rates aren't up even seven years later.
So the next Fallout game will be in Japan I guess not China
Or more accurately, "Dying with a Disaster."
Money rules the world, Nd nuclear plants are money collecting machines. They are more important than the human kind...
Greeting from a foreigner!
This is the largest scale Kamikaze Attack in History!! That's what this is, if indeed everything we've been told is true...
Hmm, a poor attack indeed. Not a single death from Fukushima radiation.
WTF greenpeace you got to be kidding, you been silent for 5 years counting your money
while other's (enenews,KB,Radchic) have been making a difference , hope your inaction was worth it.
And it signalled the end of the Anthropocene; the Sixth Great Mass Extinction was manmade.
Ghost Queen What has gone extinct due to Fukushima radiation?
a lot of Japanese do not want to see the truth. I have been thinking that Japanese are too fool!
What a f##king disgrace, those responsible for this disaster should commit ritual hari kiri.
that would be too quick. They need to suffer.
the oceans are dead! tell the whole story.
You lie. If the oceans were dead, the price of seafood would be astronomical.
nucléaires end life non compatible
Why are the Greens in australia more occupied with effin gender when this is happening ?
Those people talk funny.
FFS, just FFS.
