Akira Kurosawa predicted the Fukushima Nuclear Disaster in Japan

Exactly one year and 1 month after the Earthquake-Tsunami-Nuclear reactor meltdown disaster I happened across this clip from my all-time favorite film, Akira Kurosawa's Dreams reminding me that Akira Kurosawa predicted the dangers of Japan's increasing reliance on nuclear energy. I'm also happy to learn that 52 out of 54 nuclear reactors are now in cold shutdown as a precaution, and may even be de-commissioned if the Citizens' Nuclear Information Center of Japan has their way.

Ganbatte (good luck to them)!

Japan Debris Headed Towards US, Canadian West Coast

The vast field of debris from the Japanese Tohoku earthquake and tsunami that's floating towards in the Pacific ocean is due to arrive in North America soon. One analyst said: "If you put a major city through a trash grinder and sprinkle it on the water, that's what you're dealing with" (NPR). Some of the debris to hit the West Coast may also unfortunately be radioactive following the devastation at Japanese nuclear power plants. The debris field includes cars, whole houses and even severed feet in shoes.

A vast field of debris, swept out to sea following the Japan earthquake and tsunami, is floating towards the U.S. and Canadian West Coast, it has emerged. More than 200,000 buildings were washed out by the enormous waves that followed the 9.0 quake on March 11.

Scientists say the first bits of debris from Japan are due to reach the West Coast in a year's time after being carried by currents toward Washington, Oregon and California.

They will then turn toward Hawaii and back again toward Asia, circulating in what is known as the North Pacific Gyre,

Arnie Gundersen - New Containment Flaw found in Fukushima BW

Fairewinds shows that the nuclear industry's plan to vent the containment at Fukushima Daiichi could not have prevented a containment failure and the ensuing explosions. Look at the graphics from the containment stress tests conducted more than 40 years ago at a US nuclear reactor identical to Fukushima Daiichi Unit 1. This video and its graphics provide important clues about why Fukushima Daiichi Unit 1 exploded.

Japan in Denial of Massive Radioactive Contamination Spread

Newly released neutron data from three University of California San Diego scientists confirms Fairewinds' April analysis that the nuclear core at Fukushima Daiichi turned on and off after TEPCO claimed its reactors had been shutdown. This periodic nuclear chain reaction (inadvertent criticality) continued to contaminate the surrounding environment and upper atmosphere with large doses of radioactivity.

In a second area of concern, Fairewinds disagrees the NRC's latest report claiming that all Fukushima spent fuel pools had no problems following the earthquake. In a new revelation, the NRC claims that the plutonium found more than 1 mile offsite actually came from inside the nuclear reactors. If such a statement were true, it indicates that the nuclear power plant containments failed and were breached with debris landing far from the power plants themselves. Such a failure of the containment system certainly necessitates a complete review of all US reactor containment design and industry assurances that containments will hold in radioactivity in the event of a nuclear accident. The evidence Fairewinds reviewed to date continues to support its April analysis that the detonation in the Unit 3 Spent Fuel pool was the cause of plutonium found off site.

Third, the burning of radioactive materials (building materials, trees, lawn grass, rice straw) by the Japanese government will cause radioactive Cesium to spread even further into areas within Japan that have been previously clean, and across the Pacific Ocean to North America.

And finally, the Japanese government has yet to grasp the severity of the contamination within Japan, and therefore has not developed a coherent plan mitigate the accident and remediate the environment. Without a cohesive plan to deal with this ongoing problem of large scale radioactive contamination, the radioactivity will continue to spread throughout Japan and around the globe further exacerbating the problem and raising costs astronomically.

Kome Kome Club - FUNK FUJIYAMA

Kome Kome Club (pronounced "Come Come Club") with their 80s tune about all the stereotypes Gaijin (foreigners) tended to have about Japan, its people and their culture. Sadly, much of these stereotypes still prevail today, at least from those who have not lived in Japan or visited it. Even more unfortunate is that these can sometimes be wrongly assumed by Japanese to still be common stereotypes even amongst those who have visited or lived in Japan, which today with the Internet (for those interested to do their own fact-finding) and greater openness of Japanese culture, is rarely the case. Still this is a catchy tune with a message about racial stereotypes.

World's Steepest Roller Coaster

This Saturday, July 16th (2011) Fuji-Q Highland theme park in Fujiyoshida, Yamanashi, Japan will officially open the world's steepest roller-coaster, called the "Takashiba". Never to be outdone, the announcement for the new roller-coaster came within a few years of their pride and joy Fujiyama roller-coaster being unseated by several other coasters, the latest being the record-holding Kingda Ka in Jackson, New Jersey USA as the world's tallest, fastest and farthest dropping roller-coaster.

Ring of Fire - Earthquakes Caused by Elenin?

We all know that we have been having lots of seismic activity lately. The largest earthquakes seem to be happening when Earth is lined up with Comet Elenin. Is it a coincidence? It's worth exploring. We do just that in this video. I actually pointed to the New Guinea instead of New Zealand, whoops. :-) Track Elenin via NASA. http://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/sbdb.cgi?sstr=C%2F2010+X1&orb=1

Miracle Baby Found in Japan

After three days, a 4-month-old baby was found alive amongst the debris in Ishinomaki, Miyagi prefecture within the Tohoku region of Japan which was battered by an Earthquake and Tsunami on Friday, March 12th, 2011. According to news reports, she was reunited with her father shortly after being saved by members of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces rescue crew. This is an amazing and inspiring story, considering the other photos and reports coming out of Japan.

UPDATE: Baby plucked from tsunami wreckage now living in shelter with parents.
