Tohoku Earthquake, Tsunami and Nuclear Disaster!!!

[Coligny]

Sooo... Either civilian nukular is soo safe that none of the device needed to cleanup after a spill have been een remotely tested.
Or... There is somewhat a political will to have that stuff break down to cast a the maker in bad light.
Or... The baboons manning the machines are not litterate enough to read the manual and use them properly...

Knowing Areva and their experience in nukular fuel recycling/decomission I have doubts concerning their responsability in these fiascoze...

Tepco refusing to pay for most decontamination work

Tokyo Electric Power Co. has only covered 2 percent of the ¥76.1 billion ($638.8 million) municipalities have spent on decontamination work since the Fukushima nuclear crisis began in 2011, Environment Ministry officials said Sunday.

The operator of the crisis-hit Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant has effectively refused to cover the costs of removing tainted soil and other debris accrued by the fallout-hit governments, saying it is confirming whether such payments are required by law.

The central government has paid for the cleanup work on behalf of the utility better known as Tepco, but if the utility continues to balk, more taxpayers’ money will be spent to cover interest payments.

Tepco has so far basically paid for decontamination work conducted directly by the central government in areas close to the nuclear plant, but treated decontamination work carried out by local governments in other areas designated by the government as needing cleanup, in a different manner.

Under the current scheme, municipal governments have been authorized to conduct decontamination in designated areas. The central government pays them first and has Tepco reimburse it for the expenses later.

A law enacted in August 2011 stipulates that Tepco bears the responsibility to pay for the decontamination work. The central government had earmarked a total of ¥1.4 trillion in this regard, including around ¥630 billion for work done by local municipality offices, by the end of fiscal 2014.

The Environment Ministry has requested that Tepco pay back ¥76.1 billion by the end of February to cover work for which costs have been finalized. But Tepco has only paid ¥1.5 billion.

Asked about the issue, a Tepco official said, “It takes time for us to confirm if they were decontamination operations for which we are obliged to pay the costs.”

In response, an Environment Ministry official said, “All of our requests to Tokyo Electric Power have been made based on the law and we will continue to urge the company to pay back all the money.”

Tepco posted its first pretax profit in three years in the business year ended in March 2014 after plunging into financial difficulties following the triple core meltdowns in March 2011.

The utility is projecting a group pretax profit of ¥227 billion for the current business year ending next Tuesday.

Outrage!

This adds one more reason to completely abolish all nuclear energy in Japan.

Comically ballsy.
Feels like we are settling in a "let them eat cake" kind of times were big money don't even try to hide its greed and just stuff itself full for as long as there is still something to grab.

The lack of forced nationalisation/state confiscation of Tepco was a bad sign.
The fact that a national company is telling people who make the laws that they think they don't have to pay is just over the top.

[Coligny]

Which Sellafield incident ? The place is like the Benny Hill show of nukular misshaps.
Let's take the winds ale fire of 1957 maybe...

Windscale fire: event level 5
Fukushima: event level 7

And i'm ready to bet that the UK scientist ad access to the real numbers unlike the poney shitting rainbows spewed by Tepco or the j gov.
Lastly... Fukushima is not over yet....

Goat liver!? Sounds like the kind of thing greasy foreigners would eat, probably with garlic.

No, the mint sauce goes with the tasty bits of little baby sheep.

Yes I did live down the coast from Sellafield when I was younger, which explains the additional limbs.

If you wanna demonstrate to the world and convince consumers your food products are safe, lying about the point-of-origin may not be the best way to go about it...

Taiwan enforces stricter controls on Japanese food imports

Taiwan on Friday imposed new restrictions on food imported from Japan after hundreds of products were recalled over fake labels that disguised they came from areas affected by the country’s 2011 Fukushima nuclear crisis.

Taiwan banned Japanese food imports from five areas near Fukushima in March 2011 a few weeks after a devastating quake and tsunami triggered a nuclear meltdown at a power plant and radioactive particles were detected in some imports.

From Friday, all food imports from Japan will be required to carry certificates to prove that they are not from the five banned areas while some will also need “radiation inspection certificates”, according to the Taiwan’s Ministry of Health and Welfare.

In March, Taiwanese authorities recalled hundreds of Japanese food items that were to found with fake labels that hid their origins near the site of the nuclear disaster.

“The measures are necessary to protect Taiwanese consumers’ health and welfare. The government and (food) companies should work together to provide safe food products,” the ministry said in a statement.

Japanese food products are popular in Taiwan and the Apple Daily newspaper reported that stocks of some best-selling chocolates and pre-packaged french fries could run out in three months due to delays caused by the new requirements.

Japan has pledged to jointly investigate the false labeling case with Taiwan and urged the island to remove the new restrictions.

“Falsified labels of product origins and food safety are different issues. We will continue to let Taiwanese people understand the safety of Japanese food and hope the Taiwanese authorities can further loosen its controls,” Japan’s de facto embassy in Taipei said in a statement.

Taiwan and Japan maintain close trade ties even though Tokyo switched diplomatic recognition to Beijing in 1972.

Taiwan’s government has been stepping up foods safety measures after the island was rocked by a string of food scandals in recent years.

No derping in the news ?

Horse meat was mixed with beef/porc in frozen crushed meat package.

With as expected the biggest derper stating that horse meat was perfectly edible...

So, it would appear that Japanese orders of core machinery are up recently. Could this be a renewed effort to cause more Tohoku 2011 style "natural" disasters by drilling into the planet core causing seismic disruption as a continuing tactic in the Replicant War on Humans?

This top secret report seems to suggest it could be so:
