Honestly I'm just planning on dying.
Bunch of human hating going on up in here. Has zero to do with humans and 100% to do with the ruling class and their decisions and deception. Given the full details of risk/reward no pleb wage slave human would have signed off on these types of nuclear power not too mention the ruling class hiding Teslas work from us among many other things.
Give it a rest with the humans are shit etc. If there were no humans there would be no earth because whether you like it or not reality is the human experience.

Eh.... 'the ruling class and their decisions and deception' are all humans. Not quite sure how you could say it has 'zero to do with humans.'
Is reality the human experience, or is human experience reality?
Would a plebe understand the risk/reward, even given the full details?
In any case, there isn't a whole lot of human hating going on in this thread. Just an understanding that Humans make mistakes and this is a technology in which there can be absolutely no mistakes.... that's pretty damn fair.

Michio Kaku on Pacifica Radio 5/11 - status of #4 reactor - dire situation at Fukushima
http://soundcloud.com/flashpoints/flashpoints-daily-newsmag-05-6
This includes a recent lecture by Michio Kaku as well as live update on No. 4
#4 is on the verge of collapse and the potential release of 800 h-bombs worth of cesium
"They're hanging by their fingernails".
Units 2, 3 and 4 are dire. New information coming out.
100% liquification of the uranium core in #2 never seen before in the history of nuclear power

Plume-gate: Secret documents prove global cover-up of continued Fukushima radiation pollution Lea
http://www.naturalnews.com/035847_plume-gate_Fukushima_radiation.html
** I haven't researched this yet but I'd like to see the FOIA information to decide for myself what happened
(NaturalNews) A Freedom of Information Act(FOIA) request filed by Friends of the Earth (FoE), Physicians for Social Responsibility (PSR), and the Nuclear Information and Resource Center (NIRS) has unearthed a shocking series of new evidence proving a deliberate, global cover-up of the true severity of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. And the unfortunate reality is that the mainstream media continues to blatantly ignore this colossal scandal.
Private emails, meeting transcripts and other key documents reveal that both the Obama White House and the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission(NRC) were well aware of just how bad things really were with Fukushima from the early days of the disaster, but did nothing to warn the public about it. In fact, NRC and the White House purposely did not warn Americans about a massive radiation plume that struck the West Coast just days after the massive earthquake and tsunami hit Japan's eastern coast.
According to information gathered from hundreds of pages worth of private NRC emails, conference calls and secret meetings, key players in the Fukushima whitewashing campaign, including the NRC's David McIntyre and Elliot Brenner, were hard at work in the days following the disaster distracting public attention away from it. By pretending that a radioactive plume did not exist while simultaneously sending out misinformation to the media, these two, in conjunction with White House officials, actively participated in a criminal cover-up of the truth.

Just think it might get more people to open the thread who may not know the latest news from over there (totally understandable if you don't want that). I know I avoided this thread for a long time because it was just a lot of talk amongst the nuclear crowd. But I think its safe to say this becomes more relevant to the average person by the day.
It's a good suggestion!
The mission is definitely to inform, and I'm sure the title's gotten a bit stale after going on a year on the PT pages.... almost changed it a couple of times, but my nostalgic side has apparently won out so far.

I like being able to find the X when looking for the thread....

Just thought I'd throw it out there... much thanks for keeping the thread active all this time.
If you go on with this nuclear arms race, all you are going to do is make the rubble bounce.

AP investigation: Nuclear plant relicensing "resembles nothing more than an elaborate rubber stamp"
How long can nuclear reactors last? US, industry extend spans
'What they're saying is really a fabrication,' retired reactor designer says
Mel Evans / AP
Editor's note: Links to the first three parts of this four-part series are at the end of this report.
ROCKVILLE, Md. — When commercial nuclear power was getting its start in the 1960s and 1970s, industry and regulators stated unequivocally that reactors were designed only to operate for 40 years. Now they tell another story — insisting that the units were built with no inherent life span, and can run for up to a century, an Associated Press investigation shows.
By rewriting history, plant owners are making it easier to extend the lives of dozens of reactors in a relicensing process that resembles nothing more than an elaborate rubber stamp.
As part of a yearlong investigation of aging issues at the nation's nuclear power plants, the AP found that the relicensing process often lacks fully independent safety reviews. Records show that paperwork of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission sometimes matches word-for-word the language used in a plant operator's application.
Also, the relicensing process relies heavily on such paperwork, with very little onsite inspection and verification.
And under relicensing rules, tighter standards are not required...

If nuclear power plants are safe, let the commerical insurance industry insure them. Until these most expert judges of risk are willing to gamble with their money, I'm not willing to gamble with the health and safety of my family.

It's ridiculous that time and time again we need a radioactive cloud coming out of a nuclear power-station to remind us that atomic energy is extraordinarily dangerous.
