It's a little early to tell how bad this will get. It's a real preliminary investigation.

Uh, ya think??

I would love to review some of the US plant manuals/disaster plans. I wonder how many include instructions for a Zombie Apocalypse?

Japan's Spent Fuel Returns Home

http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/nn20110916n1.html

These contracts to process spent Japanese nuke plant fuel, were in place way before the earthquake.  It will be interesting to see where they decide to store it.  Um, maybe Fukushima??

Getting the cooling and decontamination in line is a good thing! I am the only one mentioning this in the USA.

Virus Targeted Iran

I can't for the life of me think of WHO would want to attack Iran's nuclear program???

The Nukes Are Going..Going..Not Quite Gone.

Hmm, Turkey and Brazil Working On Iran..

Fascinating photo journal!

Oh, in case you missed it, this is the nuclear reactor that actually melted down in 1986, and lots of people were poisoned or died.

Too Many Nukes

Who Has What??

I am sooo behind this move, the less the better. If I get laid off from my current job as a result, I will dance into the unemployment office with a smile. Then I will find a new job, fast.

Light At The End Of The Tunnel, With Iran?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/8327558.stm

I don't know, every time you hear something like this, they flip at the last second and want something totally unreasonable. Keep watching and see how this plays out...

The US And Russia Are Pussies

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/russia/6205556/Russia-abandons-rocket-battery-in-reponse-to-Barack-Obamas-missile-shield-U-turn.html

Just because Obama kills the Czech missile defence thing, doesn't mean Russia has to pull back their mobile nukes. God, next thing you know we will have peace. What ever will the military industrial complex do??

Russia And US Cutting Nukes In Half

I wonder what kind of blade you put in the Saw for that? Um, seriously...this is a good thing, we will still have enough to destroy much of the globe, so don't worry you hate mongers.

Iran Is The Bomb

Oops, I meant to say they can make a bomb. Go ahead guys, do it. Light it up. Give it a try... Please!!! It will be painless for those who die immediately; and agonizing for the survivors for generations to come. Look at the genetic defects the Japanese are dealing with.

Seriously, I really hope it doesn't come down to a conflict. Ha ha, the elections might "bring change"?? Hee, ha ha.....

Iran Pulling Out Of The NPT?

Looks like they will and I guess I can't blame them.

You Think YOU Have No Luck??

This guy survived both the Hiroshima and Nagasaki nuke attacks by the US at the end of WWII. The fact that he has lived to be 93 screams to me; get some DNA off this dude and study it!!
