From Nuke is a Four Letter Word:
Exposing Some of the “Big Lies”
Plutonium Fuel Rods laying in the rubble
Caught this from a TEPCO released sampling video.
Raw Uranium Pellets just lying in the rubble, very clear cut.
Maybe MOX too. Maybe some experimental fuels too.
Very odd stuff these rods in the rubble. . . . (more)

“Fukushima has three nuclear reactors exposed and four fuel cores exposed,” he said, “You probably have the equivalent of 20 nuclear reactor cores because of the fuel cores, and they are all in desperate need of being cooled, and there is no means to cool them effectively.”

Remember Chandra Levy? Her disappearance following an affair with her congressman was the national obsession in the summer of 2001 – until we awoke one Tuesday morning to see the World Trade Center towers on fire In the summer of 2011 the nation, or at least the nation’s media, seems similarly obsessed with the murder trial of Casey Anthony and the twitter account of a New York congressman. Meanwhile, the crisis at the Fukushima Daichi plant rages on with no resolution in sight and a cold shutdown now projected to be years away.
Until last week there was an apparent media blackout on the crisis, although some Americans, this writer included, have followed the status of the reactors daily at Energy News and Fairewinds, the website of nuclear energy expert, Arnie Gundersen. The Fukushima reactors were built by General Electric, which also owns Comcast, NBC, CNBC and MSNBC, so the absence of timely information is not surprising. . . . (more)

In case you think big chemical industry firms have the public good at heart a good example of their true behavior can be seen by looking at the pre-WWWII era. PCBs are dangerous but have many uses. They have had a history in industry since 1865.
This page The History of PCBs is illustrative of why industry cannot be trusted with telling the truth about dangerous substances they use.
Here is a quote –
PCB history is not pretty. As the timeline shows, the manufacturers and major users of PCBs knew by the 1930s and 1940s that PCBs caused serious health problems in their workers, and doctors advised them that other effects could be occurring as well. But this did not stop industries from producing and using PCBs, or from releasing PCBs into our environment, contaminating our public waterways, air, croplands, and wildlife. It appears from this PCB history that several companies also deliberately misled workers, customers, regulators and the public for many decades, allowing the PCB problem to spread and become much worse.

When we look at the blow up in Fukushima, Japan and see the horrible consequences of trusting big industry with public health we must ask ourselves why they were trusted in the first place. There is no history of them putting public health ahead of shareholder profits. This PCB History page brings home the truth of the mindset of some of the biggest chemical firms on earth. Many of them play a large role in advocating nuclear power.
Another worth quote:
1936 — A senior official with the U.S. Public Health Service described a wife and child, both of whom had developed chloracne, a combination of blackheads and “pustules,” merely from contact with a worker’s clothes. The same official wrote, “In addition to these skin lesions, symptoms of systemic poisoning have occurred among workers inhaling these fumes.”

You will notice the mention of GE along with Monsanto in this piece.
. . . . The U.S. tax-supported Export-Import Bank (Ex-Im) is solidly backing major U.S. nuclear contractors such as Westinghouse, Bechtel, and General Electric in their efforts to seek foreign markets for nuclear reactors. Between 1959 and 1993 Ex-Im spent $7.7 billion to help sell American-made reactors abroad.
Most countries do not have the capital to buy nuclear power, so contractors, in order to be competitive, provide 100 percent of the financing. Ex-Im offers terms too good for Third World countries and Eastern European buyers to pass up. If the host country defaults on its loan, the Ex-Im steps in with American taxpayer dollars. . . . .

From his site –
“This week the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) visited Fukushima Daiichi, to investigate the accident, and TEPCO’s emergency response actions. At Fukushima, massive amounts of high radioactive waste have been created, with no clear plan for long-term or permament storage. Spent nuclear fuel is about 95% Uranium, another 1% consists of heavy elements such as curium, americium, and plutonium.
As of May 18th 2011, almost 100,000 tons of radioactive water had leaked out of containment at Fukushima. The data also shows that the amount of radiated water may double by the end of December.” . . .
