Be Afraid: Japan Is About To Do Something That's Never Been Done Before
When the words "mothballed", "nuclear", and "never been done before" are seen together with Japan in a sentence, the world should be paying attention...
As TEPCO officials face criminal charges over the lack of preparedness with regard Fukushima, and The IAEA Report assigns considerable blame to the Japanese culture of "over-confidence & complacency," Bloomberg reports,
Japan is about to do something that’s never been done before: Restart a fleet of mothballed nuclear reactors.
The first reactor to meet new safety standards could come online as early as next week. Japan is reviving its nuclear industry four years after all its plants were shut for safety checks following the earthquake and tsunami that wrecked the Fukushima Dai-Ichi station north of Tokyo, causing radiation leaks that forced the evacuation of 160,000 people.
Mothballed reactors have been turned back on in other parts of the world, though not on this scale -- 25 of Japan’s 43 reactors have applied for restart permits. One lesson learned elsewhere is that the process rarely goes smoothly. Of 14 reactors that resumed operations after four years offline, all had emergency shutdowns and technical failures, according to data from the World Nuclear Association, an industry group.
“If reactors have been offline for a long time, there can be issues with long-dormant equipment and with ‘rusty’ operators,” Allison Macfarlane, a former chairman of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, said by e-mail.
In case you are not worried enough yet...
As problems can arise with long-dormant reactors, the NRA “should be testing all the equipment as well as the operator beforehand in preparation,” Macfarlane of the U.S. said by e-mail. Although the NRA “is a new agency, many of the staff there have long experience in nuclear issues,” she said.
Kyushu Electric has performed regular checks since the reactor was shut to ensure it restarts and operates safely, said a company spokesman, who asked not to be identified because of company policy.
“If a car isn’t used for a while, and you suddenly use it, then there is usually a problem. There is definitely this type of worry with Sendai,” said Ken Nakajima, a professor at Kyoto University Research Reactor Institute. “Kyushu Electric is probably thinking about this as well and preparing for it.”
It's not the first time a nation has tried this..
In Sweden, E.ON Sverige AB closed the No. 1 unit at its Oskarshamn plant in 1992 and restarted it in 1996.
It had six emergency shutdowns in the following year and a refueling that should have taken 38 days lasted more than four months after cracks were found in equipment.

Dana is a moron.
If we all pitch in and by your stupid ass a shift key, will you promise to use the fucking thing?
Blabla...Tsunamis are the main problem,not nuclear and with enuff safeties and changing this US ! industrie from uranium in thorium,using the latest Russia tech there will be no risk.
What could possibly go wrong?
The future looks bright. As in ionized radiation bright.
That's one fucked up island !!
Call Homa Simsonaki, tell him he can come back to work.
WE'VE ALL BEEN FUKED
Over 4 years
j-pan & iaea
duct tape & plastic sheets
the pacific ocean is a MOX
raddd dead zone
WERE NEXT
this is not your fathers socialism
Neutron bombs .... they take out the crazy Jap population then we march in and shut down everything along with encasing the Fukushima reactors Chernobyl style as they should have been encased 4 years ago. What??? You think the world's other super powers will care? Not a chance - China has a long history of hatred toward Japan, Russia will say its a barbaric act but sigh a secret sigh of relief over this BS over with, and the EU... oh yeah, they really aren't a superpower so, nevermind.
hey honey, let me start your reactor.
Face it! Between demographics, economics and nuclear poisoning, the Japanese are commiting national suicide. Might as well poison the world's oceans while they're at it. Goodbye, cruel world. We're taking shashimi down with us.
Does Japan have enough reactors to kill all of us?
Yes, 54 of them. Little known info is that Japan had 14 NPP meltdowns after the Tsunami, and rumors are that as many as 30 suffered meltdowns.

only time will tell, and it will. in the future (future visitors) they will use Fukushima dating instead of radio-carbon dating. sad that.
Yes indeed 70 years after Americans showed them who is boss and 4 years after Israel did the same, we're seeing the NRA work it's magic by starting up multiple dormant nuclear reactors in the same place that has been destroyed 3 times within the last century!
Wouldn't be at all surprised if this is a warning to the Russians and Chinese that if they try to defend themselves against a Western attack Japan gets it a 4th time with enough cesium bearing gifts to pollute the Pacific ocean and every piece of land near it it for next 400 years, with the U.S. government willing to throw in the Pacific Northwest (California to BC) as an official sacrificial lamb to the slaughter!
And why not?
They certainly have proven themselves time and again to be capable at killing their own to advance any political or economic agenda of their choosing be it oil, mineral or the land to get to anywhere they want to go faster!!!
Israel certainly has major responsibility for the Fukushima disaster as they were running their secret fuel op there and more than likely forced the Japs to delay a call for help.
These khazars, man. They've got to be alien.
Perhaps they wrecked their last planet.
Khazars from Mars?
Has a certain ring to it.
But hey, nuclear power is "the future".
Lulz.
Well it is, but not if run by idiots.
Radiation it does a body good :)
Radiation it does a body good:(
Gospel according to the smelliest cunt of all Ann Coulter!
Japan SHOULD know. They have way more experience with nukes than anyone else.
I understand Hiroshima and Nagasaki are doing ok and Tokyo still has people living there.
isnt she a Tranny? she looks like one
"Good luck Japan"
I chuckled ;)
They need to fire them back up to get all those lighted advertisement signs back online. Nobody is buying anything.

Hey man.....everyone dies, ok?
That's the script. That's the soup, no shit. You're a temporary ingredient. 100 years from now you're a lump of Gdamned dirt. Mother Earth will still be kicking another 3 billion years from now. You (and I) are just a self important fart in the wind. Get over it
OK?
From Benjamin,
Everybody has joos. Just point at any asshole and call it a joo, and a joo he will be. So japan now has joos.

Cut it out. Judaism really came into being in 79AD after the temple was destroyed. The Levite line lost all of its documentation, and hence that form of Judaism...really Israel was gone.
The new form of Judaism was the ORAL TRADITION of the Pharisee, which then became written down in Talmud.
Talmud in turn has links to Cabala, and in turn Zohar mystery religion.
Judaism is predatory in that it allows usury, it also codifies a form of in-group supremacism - especially in its denunciations of other groups e.g. the goyims as animals.
All humans are dual nature, with a bad side that should not be encouraged.
It is beyond question that Judaism in its more malignant forms (Not Mosaic Judaism - which is a cover), is bad for mankind. Any sort of religion or thought construct that encourages in-group supremacism, which pathologically chases after money power, and which encourages mass murder (Zionism), deserves to be investigated and roundly castigated.
So, now that people associate Oligarchy and pathology with Judaism, even in non-jew populations .....then Boo Hoo. Cry me a river. An in group cannot commit murderous crime and rent seek for centuries and continue to get away with it; they will eventually be found out.
Yes, but didn't Lloyd Blankfein and the Wall Street Joos save us from total collapse in 2009? And aren't they contributing to the betterment of humanity by giving us Gay marriage, transgender enlightenement, the benefits and profitability of selling fetus body organs? And aren't we all better off from having destroyed Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria and soon to be detroyed Iran, Russia and many others on the hit list? Ending the tyranny of christian dominated society? Destroying old antiquated traditional family units that supported evil chauvinist males who suppressed women? Transferred trillions from racist, chauvanistic white males to benevolent, enlightened elites who could far better decide how to use such resources for the betterment of the NWO?
Yes they killed tens of millions of Christian Russians. But sometimes to make a good omellette, you have to break a few eggs. And as Michael Ledeen, Adam Weishapht and the Elders of Zion have taught us - the doctrine of Creative Destruction -to create a new world Order, you have to destroy the Old order -once we get rid of about 6 billion useless eaters, the Phoenix will rise from the ashes, and the world will once again be in harmony with the Universe.
Point was that all identities are lies and no one is a joo except if called one. Joo is just another word for asshole.
Think of it as an identitity card. By calling yourself a joo, you are in the group.
It does not mean one needs to be a descendant of Abraham, due to concept of conversion.
It does not mean one needs to follow the law of moses, due to the concept of "secular joo".
Thus nowdays we have random people who do not follow the torah, are no related to abraham, who are called joos.
Such as Trump's kid.
Benny's lie: "Point was that all identities are lies and no one is a joo except if called one. <snip> Think of it as an identitity card. By calling yourself a joo, you are in the group."
Trotsky(Bronshtein) was an atheist, still a joo. So were Einstein, Zinoviev (Apfelbaum), Kaganovich (11 million Ukrainians dead) etc.. - but still jooz. And Jon Stewart (Leibovitz) is not a joo because he picked a WASP name (indentity) to fool people?
Benny, please explain us how you can have a religious/indentity card DNA test?
Russian-speakers who want to make aliya could need DNA test
Prime Minister’s Office says would-be immigrants from former Soviet Union may be asked to prove Jewish bloodlineA number of people from the former Soviet Union wishing to immigrate to Israel could be subjected to DNA testing to prove their Jewishness, the Prime Minister’s Office said Sunday.

And regarding "Trump's kid".... Nothing "wrong" to take gullible shiksa father's money.
p.s. Benny, why do you have a commie Dzerzhinsky - the crazy murderer or untold number of innocent Russians as your avatar?
http://www.fedka.com/Useful_info/Commune_by_Fricke/Pictures_150dpi/f6.jpg
Its a bullshit test. There is no DNA test for judaism. There is no jewish gene and if there was one, it would be shared by, most likely, hundreds of millions of non jews. And many a jew would find out he does not have the non existing gene.
You know why there is no jewish gene? Because of conversion. All jews are converts and dont have semitic DNA. And if semitic DNA makes you a jew, then half the middle east is jew.
Benny, you are FOS. Joo, according to Benny Netinyahoo, is genetic as stated in Times of Israel (posted in my previous post that you conveniently ignored.) Say Benny Netinyahoo is full of shit then. Say it.
Benny, why do you have a bloody commie Dzerzhinsky (joo btw) - the crazy murderer or untold number of innocent Russians as your avatar?

I read earlier that a 12 year old girl tested higher in IQ then Einstein or Hawking.
Many of both those minds theories have been dis-proven
Just how does does one delegate intelligence?
Apparently the N.Y Fed. has that one covered?
People with really high IQs are dangerous. Really dangerous. They are freaks. Name any of them who have really contributed greatly to society? The fraud Einstein? What the hell was his contribution to the general welfare of humanity?
Quite obviously you have an astronomically high IQ to figure that out.
As a Brain Scientist and Rocket Surgean, I have contributed.
Fallout 5 will be in Japan.
idiot
Godzirra?!
I have a guest house to houze Japanses when the have to evacuate. They will be cheaper labor than Mexicans and I have a lot of farm work for them.
I think the human being has a death wish.
Do we need a Geiger counter for our Sockeye-Salmon now?
Actually a Gamma Scintilator is much better. And 6 to 20 times the cost
Japan did unconditional surrender in ww2
Japan has been colonized by America even now because America is afraid of Japan's military rise.
Americans are everywhere in Japan to keep an eye.
The military base in Okinawa is meant to keep Japan in subjugation like a leashed Geisha (in forced porn, hogtied hah ha)
When Japan asked America to shift its base to Guam, America not only refused unpolitely (rather threatened them as a bully)
------
There are 2 things which Japan should do.
1. Throw out these fcuking americans from its soil asap
2. Develop nuclear weapons
And avenge the insult
Here's a fact, it costs about $2B to decomission a reactor, Japan has 54, that $108B.
They are too expensive to shut down.
But they are also too expensive to build, the new Vogtle 3 and 4 in Georgia will cost 15 cent per kWH neglecting transmission, overhead, profit, long term storage, insurance, or accidents.
That will double or triple the cost
Vogtle cost data is here

So the answer? Run the old plants until they blow.
Some solution eh?
