Analysis: Nuclear Disaster in Ukraine Could Make Swaths of Europe 'Uninhabitable for Decades'

Russia's assault on Ukraine risks nuclear devastation "far worse even than the Fukushima Daiichi catastrophe of 2011," Greenpeace warns.

Russia Accused of 'Nuclear Terror' After Fire at Zaporizhzhia Power Plant

"This is the biggest nuclear power plant in Europe," said one nuclear non-proliferation group. "We are perched on the precipice of catastrophe."

SOLAR, WIND, HYDRO & BIOMASS are Cheaper than Nuclear Power Plants... That's Why We Aren't Building any Nukes. That and the Radioactive Waste That has to be Stored and Guarded for 10,000 Years... To Prevent Terrorists from Building a Dirty Bomb...

The Danger of A Crazy Man Simply Placing a Traditional Bomb Under A Cask of Atomic Waste is IMMENSE... Sometime During the 10,000 Years That Nuclear Waste is Actively Radioactive, It's Almost Certain that a "WhackJob" will Blow It Up!

Humboldt Nuke Faces Dismantling By Jim Adams Twenty-two years after shutdown, PG&E’s Humboldt Bay Nuclear Power Plant may become the first commercial reactor to be dismantled or decommissioned in the US. A major project got underway in September as the 250 ft. tall concrete vent stack began to be demolished. The utility has also announced its intent to remove 390 spent (irradiated) fuel rods from the pool at the plant, and place them in on-site steel containers called dry casks. For more than a decade, Redwood Alliance has urged PG&E to take this action. This will keep our community safe and allow complete dismantling to take place. Four miles south of Eureka and adjacent to Humboldt Bay, the Humboldt nuke sits on top of and close to major earthquake faults. The Alliance has worked since 1978 to make sure that the nuclear plant, one of the oldest and dirtiest in the country, would never reopen and will be properly dismantled.

The Nyonoksa radiation accident occurred on 8 August 2019 near Nyonoksa, Russian Federation. Five military and civilian specialists were killed and three (or six, depending on the source) were injured.[1][2][3] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nyonoksa_radiation_accident
American intelligence officials are racing to understand a mysterious explosion that released radiation off the coast of northern Russia last week, apparently during the test of a new type of nuclear-propelled cruise missile hailed by President Vladimir V. Putin as the centerpiece of Moscow’s arms race with the United States.

Nuclear power is losing ground to renewables in terms of both cost and capacity as its reactors are increasingly seen as less economical and slower to reverse carbon emissions, an industry report said.
Nuclear power is slowly going out of style. Back in 1996, atomic energy supplied 17.6 percent of the world's electricity. Today that's down to just 10.8 percent — and it could drop even further in the years ahead.

The 7 reasons why nuclear energy is not the answer to solve climate change.
Analysis: New nuclear power costs about 5 times more than onshore wind power per kWh. Nuclear takes 5 to 17 years longer between planning and operation and produces on average 23 times the emissions per unit electricity generated. In addition, it creates risk and cost associated with weapons proliferation, meltdown, mining lung cancer, and waste risks. Clean, renewables avoid all such risks.

The hot lab suffered a number of fires involving radioactive materials. For example, in 1957, a fire in the hot cell "got out of control and ... massive contamination" resulted.[23]
At least four of the ten nuclear reactors suffered accidents: 1) The AE6 reactor experienced a release of fission gases in March 1959.[24] 2) In July 1959, the SRE experienced a power excursion and partial meltdown that released 28 Curies of radioactive noble gasses. The release resulted in the maximum off-site exposure of 0.099 millirem and an exposure of 0.018 millirem for the nearest residential building which is well within current limits today.[25] 3) In 1964, the SNAP8ER experienced damage to 80% of its fuel. 4) In 1969 the SNAP8DR experienced similar damage to one-third of its fuel.[24]
A radioactive fire occurred in 1971, involving combustible primary reactor coolant (NaK) contaminated with mixed fission products.[26][27]
The reactors located on the grounds of SSFL were considered experimental, and therefore had no containment structures. Reactors and highly radioactive components were housed without the large concrete domes that surround modern power reactors.[citation needed]

and then a Guy of FaceBorg Said:  
I recommend this page, 
it debunks the lies about "radiation deaths" supposedly caused by nuclear power. Give it an honest try. I used to be against nuclear power, 3 Mile Island was closed, and yet there was no radiation or damage outside the plant itself. Even Fukishima radiation was down to backround levels within a few hundred yards of the plant. Wildlife is everywhere around Chernobyl, with no observed radiation problems. This site will respond to your arguments against nuclear power with reason and demonstrable statisitics to back their argument that it is safe. I support Solar and Wind power, but it is nowhere near being able to completely replace fossil fuels, just ask Germany, with their new gas pipeline coming from Russia.

Why did the Nuclear Waste policy act fail? 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_Waste_Policy_Act
The Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982 is a United States federal law which established a comprehensive national program for the safe, permanent disposal of highly radioactive wastes

The Nuclear Waste Fund previously received $750 million in fee revenues each year and had an unspent balance of $44.5 billion as of the end of FY2017.[8] However (according to the Draft Report by the Blue Ribbon Commission on America's Nuclear Future), actions by both Congress and the Executive Branch have made the money in the fund effectively inaccessible to serving its original purpose. The commission made several recommendations on how this situation may be corrected.[9]

In December 1987, Congress amended the Nuclear Waste Policy Act to designate Yucca Mountain, Nevada, as the only site to be characterized as a permanent repository for all of the nation's nuclear waste.[11] The plan was added to the fiscal 1988 budget reconciliation bill signed on December 22, 1987.

On March 5, 2009, Energy Secretary Steven Chu told a Senate hearing the Yucca Mountain site is no longer viewed as an option for storing reactor waste.[19] 

Regardless of whether you are for or against nuclear power, and no matter what you think of nuclear weapons, the radioactive waste is already here, and we have to deal with it.”


That’s Gerald S. Frankel’s matter-of-fact take on the thousands of metric tons of used solid fuel from nuclear power plants worldwide and the millions of liters of radioactive liquid waste from weapons production that sit in temporary storage containers in the US. While these waste materials, which can be harmful to human health and the environment, wait for a more permanent home, their containers age. In some cases, the aging containers have already begun leaking their toxic contents.

“It’s a societal problem that has been handed down to us from our parents’ generation,” says Frankel, who is a materials scientist at the Ohio State University. “And we are—more or less—handing it to our children.”


IN BRIEF:

More than a quarter million metric tons of highly radioactive waste sits in storage near nuclear power plants and weapons production facilities worldwide, with over 90,000 metric tons in the US alone. Emitting radiation that can pose serious risks to human health and the environment, the waste, much of it decades old, awaits permanent disposal in geological repositories, but none are operational. With nowhere to go for now, the hazardous materials and their containers continue to age. That unsustainable situation is driving corrosion experts to better understand how steel, glass, and other materials proposed for long-term nuclear waste storage containers might degrade. Read on to learn how these researchers’ findings might help protect people and the environment from waste leakages.

Smedley D. Butler Said: 

"I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents."

Automatic Rainbow Quest by gvan42


Lisa Garr Said:

I have a longing. I have a longing to belong. A longing to connect and to feel welcomed and celebrated. I think one of our core human desires is to intimately know the feeling of being unconditionally invited in. Invited into the hearts, minds and presence of our community, of our world.

When I had my NDE (Near Death Experience), I experienced eternity in a moment. I experienced an ascension into the blissful meshing of the all-that-is. Having been enveloped in, and subsequently returning to this world with, that memory deep in my bones, well, it has changed my life. When my spirit touched the blissful radiance of the beyond, I was still connected and alive on this planet, Earth. In a sense I became a bridge between that energetic belonging and this world - with all its issues, complications and surprise changes. I became a circuit.

Now, let me tell you. You are all already circuits for your own mystery, your own soul growth and your own story. When I say “Stay Aware”, I also mean holding vigil for the part of us that is deeply connected to the blissful belonging. By “Stay Aware”, I mean honor your ongoing practice of being present with the sensations and embodiment of your body.

Developing awareness is more akin to taking off a layer of clothing and finding new and more expressive ways to move, dance, touch and connect. This can be achieved in many ways, some of which we explore on The Aware Show with the many gifted healers, thinkers and visionaries of our time. Each modality, each experience is another moment in your journey towards belonging.

Next time you have a minute to take a “Mindful Moment”, take a seat somewhere you feel safe. Take a deep breath in and invite yourself back to yourself. I know it sounds silly, but just try it out. Breathe in and say aloud “I invite myself back to myself.” Pause, breath through the silence and notice any sensation in your body or feelings. Then repeat again “I belong to myself. I am here fully.” Again, pause for deep breath and non-judgmental observation of the experience. Take one last deep breath in your fullness and in your present state and say, “I am here, I am willing to connect and grow.”

Breathe with whatever subtle or not so subtle feelings or responses occur. Acknowledge what shows up and try not to get caught up with it. Just allow yourself to be aware of yourself. Allow yourself to become the conduit of your bliss and your physical circumstances. Together you are a circuit, and soon your dreams will become clearer and you will be guided towards making them a realty.

In love & gratitude, Lisa Garr

It's not the overwhelming toxics in our environment--it's the shot in the arm; it's not climate change caused by unfathomable volumes of chemicals tossed into the atmosphere--it's chemtrails; it's not selective news reporting by a press beholden to its advertisers--it's fake news; it's not horrid foreign policies in 3rd world countries supporting dictators and cartels--it's immigration; it's not a history of systemic racism and legacy of slavery and genocide--it's that darker skinned people are inferior; it's not the money made by the arms dealers, religions, and resource extractors--it's just that there always will be wars; it's not that the candidates are pre-selected and the system discourages good people from running--it's that the voting machines are rigged; it's not that the Democrats are the other arm of the capitalist party beholden to the banks--it's that they are socialists.  Each distraction has a "something" that proposes an answer that the believer can latch on to, and those "somethings" run cover for the colossal facts that run rogue over our planet and its lifeforms.  These distractions are deliberately inserted into the discourse to distract us from the root problems and most importantly, to divide us.

Fashion Question: What Makes a Scrub a Scrub? A Caregiver Has Been Wearing Normal Clothes around here for Months and Then Yesterday She wore Scrubs... It Was Obvious  to me that they WERE Scrubs but I Can't Explain What Makes a Scrub a Scrub...

SE SAID: I’m no expert on scrubs, but I think they are the pants and shirt that most nurses and medical assistants wear. Can’t really describe them, but that’s what I consider scrubs. But again, I’m no expert. I’ve never worked in a hospital or doctors office.

I Replied: It's a Mystery... I can tell instantly that a person IS wearing Scrubs... But I Can't Define What makes a Shirt STOP being Regular Clothes... and START Being Scrubs... and The Caregiver in Question Wears Regular Clothes when she is working as the Facility Manager but on the Days that she actually works as a Care Giver... She Wears Scrubs!

Basically: Scrubs are Clothes designed to Be Easily Cleaned and Totally Sterile... No Secret Places for Germs to Hide... Unlike the Classic White Doctor's Lab Coat that Has Pockets! a Known Place to Harbor Bacteria. It's Really Difficult to Launder the INSIDE of a Pocket...

and then I read on Faceborg:
Thank you my friend Fred Hamill 👏
Moscow Mitch had a plan on a takeover of the U S Senate and House in the 2022 midterm elections just 8 months from now.
It was a simple plan and definitely the smartest route to take.
His plan was to say ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about the Republican radical right agenda once the Republicans actually seized power.
But now his plan has been completely sabotaged by Republican Senator Rick Scott of Florida.
Last week Rick Scott laid out a frightening, Orwellian 11 point agenda once Republicans regain power.
It is a comprehensive right wing wish list for a theocratic, kleptocratic, plutocratic, apartheid based United States where the poor are further impoverished and power and resources are concentrated even further into the hands of corporate elites.
The Rick Scott, Republican agenda proposes the following:
The total phase out of Social Security retirement benefits for ALL Americans!!
A declaration of war on the transgender community by claiming there are JUST two genders. This will enable Republicans to impose harsh punishments against transgender people.
Eliminating the federal Department of Education while introducing prayer in public schools. This has been a longtime desire by the theocratic right.
The mandatory phase out of ALL federal programs including every environmental protection law unless specifically reauthorized by a Republican controlled government.
A massive gutting of federal workers including regulators who protect our health, environment, food safety, and IRS workers so the richest non paying plutocrats and corporate criminals pay nothing in taxes.
And while the Rick Scott agenda says noting about the rich paying their fair share of taxes he goes out of his way to impose new taxes on the poorest people in this country. Or as Rick Scott phrased it "everyone should have skin in the game"
It does not matter to Rick Scott and Republicans how impoverished Americans are. They must pay taxes to allow billionaires and corporate criminals to pay none!
The Scott/Republican agenda calls for draconian nationwide voter ID laws to suppress minority and student voters and to lock in permanent Republican advantages in all elections.
The Scott/Republican agenda will spend billions of dollars to build the fantasy wall envisioned by Trump and to even name the wall after the TWICE impeached Trump.
The Scott/Republican agenda calls for a FIFTY STATE BAN on abortions. This plan would not just make abortion a state by state decision but would impose a national ban on abortions.
In some respects Democrats owe Rick Scott a huge thank you.
He has exposed the Republican agenda for the anti democratic, fascist roadmap that it is.
It is a plan that economist Paul Krugman has called "zombie economics".
