Fukushima réacteur 4, un danger au delà de tout

Published on Apr 22, 2012 by kna60

Interview du diplomate Akio Matsumura qui nous prévient que la catastrophe de la centrale nucléaire de Fukushima au Japon peut finalement se transformer en un évènement capable de mettre en péril toute vie sur Terre.

S'exprimant lors d'une audience publique de la commission budgétaire de la Chambre des Conseillers le 22 Mars 2012, l'ambassadeur Mitsuhei Murata a averti que "si le bâtiment estropié du réacteur 4 (avec 1.535 barres de combustible dans la piscine de combustible usé à 30 mètres au-dessus du sol) s'effondre, non seulement cela va provoquer l'abandon forcé des six réacteurs à cause des radiations dégagées, mais cela affectera aussi la piscine de combustible usé commune contenant 6375 barres de combustible, située à 50 mètres du réacteur 4".

Dans les deux cas, les barres radioactives ne sont pas protégés par une enceinte de confinement. Elles seront dangereusement exposées à l'air libre. Ce serait certainement provoquer une catastrophe mondiale comme nous n'en avons jamais connu. Il a souligné que la responsabilité du Japon vis-à-vis du reste du monde est incommensurable. Une telle catastrophe aurait une incidence sur nous tous pour des siècles. L'ambassadeur Murata nous a informés que le nombre total des barres de combustible irradié sur le site de Fukushima Daiichi à l'exclusion des cuves des réacteurs est de 11421.

Matsumura a ensuite questionné Robert Alvarez, ancien conseiller principal auprès du secrétaire et secrétaire adjoint à la sécurité nationale et de l'environnement au Département de l'Energie US, sur l'impact d'une telle catastrophe supplémentaire à Fukushima.

Contenir les radiations ne sera pas un mince exploit, a expliqué Mr. Alvarez. "Le combustible irradié ne peut pas être simplement soulevé dans les airs par une grue comme s'il s'agissait de fret ordinaire. Afin d'éviter l'exposition aux rayonnements sévères, les incendies et les explosions possibles, il doit être transféré en tout temps dans l'eau et dans des containers secs fortement blindés.

Il a ensuite déclaré que les 11138 assemblages de combustibles usés stockés à l'usine de Fukushima contiennent *entre autres* "134 millions de curies de césium 137, soit environ 85 fois la quantité de Cesium 137 relâché lors de l'accident de Tchernobyl, selon les estimations du Conseil National Américain sur la Radioprotection."

"Il est important pour le public de comprendre que les réacteurs qui ont été en exploitation pendant des décennies, tels que ceux sur le site de Fukushima-Daiichi, ont généré quelques-unes des plus grandes concentrations de radioactivité sur la planète", a-t-il conclu.

Matsumura admet que c'est un nombre impressionnant et difficile à comprendre. Il a écrit que 85 fois plus de césium 137 que Tchernobyl "détruirait l'environnement mondial et notre civilisation. Ce n'est pas sorcier, pas plus que ça ne concerne le débat pugilistique sur les centrales nucléaires. Il s'agit d'une question de survie de l'humanité."

Mitsuhei Murata a envoyé une lettre au Secrétaire Général des Nations Unies Ban Ki-moon. "Il n'est pas exagéré de dire que le sort du Japon et du monde entier dépend du réacteur N°4. Ceci est confirmé par les experts les plus fiables, comme le Dr. Arnie Gundersen ou le Dr. Fumiaki Koide", écrivait-il à Ki-Moon. "Le monde a été fait si fragile et vulnérable. Le rôle de l'Organisation des Nations Unies est de plus en plus vitale. Je vous souhaite la meilleure des chances dans votre noble mission."

Pas un mot encore pour savoir si cette situation s'est même imprimée sur l'écran radar des Nations Unies.

Japanese Plan To Evacuate 40 Million

Russia Stunned After Japanese Plan To Evacuate 40 Million Revealed

Posted by EU Times on Apr 15th, 2012

http://www.eutimes.net/2012/04/russia-stunned-after-japanese-plan-to-evacuate-40-million-revealed/

A new report circulating in the Kremlin today prepared by theForeign Ministry on the planned re-opening of talks with Japan over the disputed Kuril Islands during the next fortnight states that Russian diplomats were “stunned” after being told by their Japanese counterparts that upwards of 40 million of their peoples were in “extreme danger” of life threatening radiation poisoning and could very well likely be faced with forced evacuations away from their countries eastern most located cities… including the world’s largest one, Tokyo.

The Kuril Islands are located in Russia’s Sakhalin Oblast region and stretch approximately 1,300 km (810 miles) northeast from Hokkaidō, Japan, to Kamchatka, Russia, separating the Sea of Okhotsk from the North Pacific Ocean. There are 56 islands and many more minor rocks. It consists of Greater Kuril Ridge and Lesser Kuril Ridge, all of which were captured by Soviet Forces in the closing days of World War II from the Japanese.

The “extreme danger” facing tens of millions of the Japanese peoples is the result of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Disaster that was a series of equipment failures, nuclear meltdowns, and releases of radioactive materials at the Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant, following the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami on 11 March 2011.

According to this report, Japanese diplomats have signaled to their Russian counterparts that the returning of the Kuril Islands to Japan is “critical” as they have no other place to resettle so many people that would, in essence, become the largest migration of human beings since the 1930’s when Soviet leader Stalin forced tens of millions to resettle Russia’s far eastern regions.

Important to note, this report continues, are that Japanese diplomats told their Russian counterparts that they were, also, “seriously considering” an offer by China to relocate tens of millions of their citizens to the Chinese mainland to inhabit what are called the “ghost cities,” built for reasons still unknown and described, in part, by London’s Daily Mail News Service in their 18 December 2010 article titled: “The Ghost Towns Of China: Amazing Satellite Images Show Cities Meant To Be Home To Millions Lying Deserted” that says:

“These amazing satellite images show sprawling cities built in remote parts of China that have been left completely abandoned, sometimes years after their construction. Elaborate public buildings and open spaces are completely unused, with the exception of a few government vehicles near communist authority offices. Some estimates put the number of empty homes at as many as 64 million, with up to 20 new cities being built every year in the country’s vast swathes of free land.”

Foreign Ministry experts in this report note that should Japan accept China’s offer, the combined power of these two Asian peoples would make them the largest super-power in human history with an economy larger than that of the United States and European Union combined and able to field a combined military force of over 200 million.

To how dire the situation is in Japan was recently articulated by Japanese diplomat Akio Matsumura who warned that the disaster at the Fukushima nuclear plant may ultimately turn into an event capable of extinguishing all life on Earth.

According to the Prison Planet News Service:

“Matsumura posted [this] startling entry on his blog following a statement made by Japan’s former ambassador to Switzerland, Mitsuhei Murata, on the situation at Fukushima.

Speaking at a public hearing of the Budgetary Committee of the House of Councilors on 22 March 2012, Murata warned that “if the crippled building of reactor unit 4 – with 1,535 fuel rods in the spent fuel pool 100 feet (30 meters) above the ground – collapses, not only will it cause a shutdown of all six reactors but will also affect the common spent fuel pool containing 6,375 fuel rods, located some 50 meters from reactor 4,” writes Matsumura.

In both cases the radioactive rods are not protected by a containment vessel; dangerously, they are open to the air. This would certainly cause a global catastrophe like we have never before experienced. He stressed that the responsibility of Japan to the rest of the world is immeasurable. Such a catastrophe would affect us all for centuries. Ambassador Murata informed us that the total numbers of the spent fuel rods at the Fukushima Daiichi site excluding the rods in the pressure vessel is 11,421.”

Disturbingly, the desperate situation facing Japan is, also, facing the United States as Russian military observersoverflying the US this week as part of the Open Skies Treaty are reporting “unprecedented” amounts of radiation in the Western regions of that country, a finding that was further confirmed by scientists with the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute who have confirmed that a wave of highly radioactive waste is headed directly for the US west coast.

Important to note is that this new wave of Fukushima radiation headed towards the US is in addition to earlier radiation events that American scientists are now blaming for radioactive particles from Japan being detected in California kelp.

Though the news of this ongoing global catastrophe is still being heavily censored in the US, the same cannot be said about Japan, and as recently reported by the leading Japanese newspaper The Mainichi Daily News that reports:

“One of the biggest issues that we face is the possibility that the spent nuclear fuel pool of the No. 4 reactor at the stricken Fukushima No. 1 Nuclear Power Plant will collapse. This is something that experts from both within and outside Japan have pointed out since the massive quake struck. TEPCO, meanwhile, says that the situation is under control. However, not only independent experts, but also sources within the government say that it’s a grave concern.

The storage pool in the No. 4 reactor building has a total of 1,535 fuel rods, or 460 tons of nuclear fuel, in it. The 7-story building itself has suffered great damage, with the storage pool barely intact on the building’s third and fourth floors. The roof has been blown away. If the storage pool breaks and runs dry, the nuclear fuel inside will overheat and explode, causing a massive amount of radioactive substances to spread over a wide area. Both the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and French nuclear energy company Areva have warned about this risk.

A report released in February by the Independent Investigation Commission on the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Accident stated that the storage pool of the plant’s No. 4 reactor has clearly been shown to be “the weakest link” in the parallel, chain-reaction crises of the nuclear disaster. The worse-case scenario drawn up by the government includes not only the collapse of the No. 4 reactor pool, but the disintegration of spent fuel rods from all the plant’s other reactors. If this were to happen, residents in the Tokyo metropolitan area would be forced to evacuate.”

Even though this crisis in Japan has been described as “a nuclear war without a war” and the US Military is being reported is now stocking up on massive amounts of anti-radiation pills in preparation for nuclear fallout, there remains no evidence at all the ordinary peoples are being warned about this danger in any way whatsoever.

World Conference Against A and H Bombs

Letter from World Conference Against A and H Bombs, August 2-9, 2012

For a Nuclear Weapon-free, Peaceful and Just World:
“We call for your participation in and support to the 2012 World Conference against A and H Bombs”

Dear friends,

The summer of the 67th year from the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki is around the corner.  In these two A-bombed cities, the 2012 World Conference against Atomic and Hydrogen Bombs is planned on August 2 to 9, under the theme: “For a Nuclear Weapon-free, Peaceful and Just World”.  We call on all of you who share this desire to express your support to, take actions in solidarity with, and participate in or send delegations to the World Conference.

Sympathizing the Hibakusha’s belief that “humans cannot coexist with nuclear weapons”, the moves seeking for the abolition of nuclear weapons are prevailing all over the world.  Anti-nuclear peace movements and a broad range of civil movements are taking actions to urge national governments, especially those possessing nuclear weapons, to start negotiations for a total ban on nuclear weapons.  Last December, the Malaysian resolution calling for a start of negotiations for a nuclear weapons convention was adopted in the UN General Assembly with the support of 130 member states. The UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon in October 2011 called for achieving a nuclear weapon-free world for the sake of peace and security of humans, as the world population was about to reach 7 billion.  With the Hibakusha in the lead, our consistent call for a total ban on nuclear weapons is echoing throughout the world.

The greatest obstacle to the abolition of nuclear weapons is the “nuclear deterrence theory” which nuclear weapons states claim their nuclear weapons are the “guarantee of security” while criticizing the possession of them by others as threat, and the policy of relying on their “nuclear umbrella” (extended nuclear deterrence) for national defence.  However, that more than 20,000 nuclear weapons still exist on earth proves that the possession of nuclear weapons by one state could induce another nuclear development by its opponent.  Humans must get out of this vicious circle, and the Japanese government should play its role becoming to the only A-bombed country in the world to achieve the abolition of nuclear weapons.

Now, we are making a fresh start on the movements to achieve a “world without nuclear weapons”.  Along with the recent developments in favour of the abolition of nuclear weapons, a variety of grass-roots movements for peace and against war, for democracy, rectifying social gaps for a more just society have been developing all over the world.  The 2012 World Conference against A and H Bombs will be an opportunity to further develop joint effort with the United Nations, national and local governments, NGOs and grass-roots movements of the world, and deepen solidarity with such wide-ranging and diverse movements.

In order to make this historic World Conference a great success, we call on you to support it internationally as well as nationally by joining the following activities: Collecting signatures in support of the “Appeal for a Total Ban on Nuclear Weapons” in your workplaces, communities and schools; Holding A-bomb exhibitions to make known the A-bomb damage of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the wishes of the Hibakusha; the National Peace March to walk across the country through May to August; Activities to achieve a nuclear weapon-free Japan by defending Article 9 of the Constitution and the Three Non-nuclear Principles.  We also call on you to deepen solidarity with the movements to support the victims of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident and to realize the eradication of radiation damage and a shift of Japan’s energy policy from nuclear power generation to renewable energy sources.

For a nuclear weapon-free, peaceful and just world, let us achieve a great success of the 2012 World Conference as a rallying point where anyone can join, raise their voices and bring the experiences of grass-roots activities from your communities, workplaces and school campuses.
