Yeah. With an eighty hour delay built in.

It was a clumsy way of saying that I hadn't dropped by this thread for a while because I am out of blood pressure medication. But I see that he is still taking the high scientific ground with doctored photographs from unrelated locations. He maintains his own credibility reputation, so I don't have to do it. If it is not that, he is treating the whole subject as a huge joke. I am not sure which is the bigger crime.

Ex-Fukushima nuclear plant worker confirmed to have cancer

A man in his 40s who worked at the Fukushima nuclear plant after the 2011 disaster is the first person confirmed to have developed cancer from radiation exposure, Japan confirmed Tuesday.

The Health and Labor Ministry said the man, who wasn't identified further, has received government approval for compensation for the radiation-induced illness.

It said he helped install covers on damaged reactors at the plant from October 2012 to December 2013. He did not work at Fukushima in the weeks after the massive earthquake and tsunami destroyed the plant in March 2011, when radiation levels were the highest. The plant has since been stabilized, except for occasional leaks of contaminated water.

A bit like killing kids before they reach puberty can be claimed to be a remedy for teen pregnancies... yes... but no...

It sounds reasonable but without taking any time to research the claims I can't say whether or not it's true.

AP Interview: Fukushima chief says 'no textbook' for cleanup

The man leading the daunting task of dealing with the Fukushima nuclear plant that sank into meltdowns in northeastern Japan warns with surprising candor: Nothing can be promised.

How long will it take to decommission the three breached reactors, and how will it be accomplished, when not even robots have been able to enter the main fuel-debris areas so far? How much will it ultimately cost? Naohiro Masuda, tapped last year as chief of decontamination and decommissioning for plant owner Tokyo Electric Power Co., acknowledges he is a long way from answering those questions definitively.

"This is something that has never been experienced. A textbook doesn't exist for something like this," Masuda told The Associated Press in an interview at TEPCO's Tokyo headquarters Monday.

It's only recently the daily situation at Fukushima Dai-ichi has even started to approach "normal," he said. Since the March 2011 meltdowns, TEPCO has had to face one huge challenge after another, including storing masses of leaking radioactive water, clearing up rubble and removing fuel rods from a crumbled building.

"Before, it was a war zone," Masuda said quietly.

Masuda's approach contrasts with the sometimes ambitious, sometimes wishful announcements by the Japanese government, which pronounced the disaster "under control" as early as late 2011, just months after a devastating tsunami knocked out power to the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant, setting off the meltdowns.

But in June, the government and TEPCO acknowledged the target dates in the official "roadmap" for decommissioning had to be pushed back by about two years. Now even the most optimistic projections estimate the work will take about half a century.

Masuda said without hesitation that more delays could be in order. No one knows exactly where the melted nuclear debris is sitting in the reactors, let alone how exactly the debris might be taken out. Computer simulation and speculative images are all he has so far.

New science will have to be invented for the plant to be cleaned up. Each step of the way, safety and consequences must be weighed, for workers and for the environment alike, Masuda added.

Under the latest plan, the removal of the fuel debris is expected to start within a decade. Still, Masuda likened such goals to reminders not to slack off, rather than hard deadlines based on real-life assessments...

The seven drivers' accounts cannot be easily dismissed as simple illusions. That is because if a passenger climbed in their taxi, the driver started the meter, which is recorded.

That's proof enough for me!

Architect found guilty over Tokyo Costco ramp collapse in March 2011 quake


Takagi’s original design included a connection between the slope and building that was sufficiently resilient. However, the structure was not built according to his structural calculations, and as a result it couldn’t withstand a strong earthquake.

There must be a joke somewhere...

3 ex-TEPCO execs indicted over Fukushima nuclear disaster

Three former executives of Tokyo Electric Power Co (TEPCO) were indicted Monday for allegedly failing to take measures to prevent the disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear complex, which was struck by massive tsunami waves five years ago.

The indictment, mandated by an independent panel of citizens after prosecutors decided against laying charges, seeks to answer in court the question of whether the key TEPCO figures should be held criminally responsible over the nuclear disaster.

At the six-reactor plant located on the Pacific coast, tsunamis triggered by the massive earthquake on March 11, 2011, flooded power supply facilities and crippled reactor cooling systems. The Nos. 1 to 3 reactors suffered fuel meltdowns, while hydrogen explosions damaged the buildings housing the No. 1, 3 and 4 units.

The three, who were indicted on charges of professional negligence resulting in death and injury, are Tsunehisa Katsumata, 75, chairman of TEPCO at the time, and two former vice presidents—Sakae Muto, 65, and Ichiro Takekuro, 69.

Monday’s indictment blames the three for injuries to 13 people, including Self-Defense Forces members, from hydrogen explosions at the plant, as well as the deaths of 44 patients forced to evacuate from hospital.

The utility’s public relations office offered a renewed apology over the accident in a statement Monday, but declined to comment on the indictment because it concerns a criminal case.

All the former executives, who were charged without being taken into custody, are likely to plead not guilty, sources familiar with the case said.

The trial is expected to be long, and is unlikely to start by the end of the year, as preparations to compile evidence and points of issue apparently require a considerable amount of time, the sources said.

The Tokyo No. 5 Committee for the Inquest of Prosecution last July decided to mandate that the three be charged with professional negligence for their handling of the disaster, overturning a decision by prosecutors in September 2013 not to indict the three.

The prosecutors determined that it was hard for them to predict the major tsunamis.

The committee, however, said the former executives received a report by June 2009 that the plant could be hit by tsunami as high as 15.7 meters and that they “failed to take pre-emptive measures knowing the risk of a major tsunami.”

A group of Fukushima citizens and other people filed a criminal complaint in 2012 against dozens of government and TEPCO officials over their responsibility in connection with what became one of the world’s worst nuclear crises.

But as prosecutors decided not to file charges, including against then Prime Minister Naoto Kan, the group narrowed its focus and asked the committee to examine whether the prosecutors’ decision was appropriate.

It seems to me that these sort of vindicative prosecutions are being ramped up, but I predict the case will collapse on appeal.

I just read this, and found it electrifying news that could well transform the current climate of resignation and resentful acceptance. By charging these men it could help to keep the question of responsibility and liability current, even though there is sure to be increased resistance from the authorities. I only hope the prosecutions case is well grounded and has sufficient power to avoid a meltdown under cross examination by the defence counsel. One article even suggested that the proceedings could result in shocking revelations about the disaster, which could lead to increased polarisation on the issue, but I think for the most it is a positive step.
