Activists Mobilize to Stop DOE Proposal to Recycle Nuclear Waste Into Consumer Goods. In a bizarre effort to recycle nuclear waste a federal government agency is proposing simply to incorporate it into everyday consumer products. The US Department of Energy or DOE last month put forth a plan to sell 14,000 tons of radioactive nuclear scrap metal from government facilities to various consumer manufacturing industries.

An expert on the effects of longterm exposure to low doses of radiation says, point blank that the Fukushima Catastrophe is the worst nuclear disaster in history. He says that what is occurring in Japan is a virtual replay of what occurred in Chernobyl and surrounding Belarus, where the radioactive cesium destroyed the walls of the children’s developing heart muscles, affecting their electrical conductivity, resulting in early heart disease and deaths from same. The only difference between these two scenarios is that Fukushima is affecting far more people, which is why he calls it “the worst.” (11 minute video)

NYTimes: ‘Prophetic’ warning of Fukushima-type nuclear disaster
The accident at Japan’s Fukushima Daiichi plant in 2011 alerted the American nuclear industry and its regulators to the possibility that operators at plants with more than one reactor might have to deal with more than one meltdown at a time in a flood, earthquake or other catastrophe.

Michael..what a great way to start a New Year! It is just way beyond terrific to have all of these important articles, with their links, all listed on one page. First of all, it is really impressive to see that there are so many recent articles that MUST be read, and second…it is wonderful not to have to go hunting for them. I just wish I had the time back that I have spent in the past, trying to locate these articles, in order to forward them to friends, in an attempt to inform and educate them as to the nuclear crisis that is going on, thanks to Fukushima. I just wish that the US Government would go and do likewise!
While I know that there are certainly articles on this potential global disaster to be found in some small newspapers, I have not, so far, found anyone, anywhere, who has been tackling the whole Fukushima disaster, head on, as you have been doing. And, in addition, you have also written many articles, plus, now, a five part series, on our local nuclear and toxic chemical contamination on the Santa Susana Field Laboratory.
I cannot believe how incredibly lucky that we all are to have you here in our midst, doing your knowledgeable environmental reporting, without which we would basically all be in the dark, when it comes to understanding and interpreting everything that has been happening in California, the USA, and the World. My hope is that in 2013, you, and also Denise, will continue to have the concern, energy and courage to keep investigating and writing about all of these issues, which affect the health and welfare of all of us.
Meanwhile, 2012 grateful THANKS!
