Magnetic Pole Shift, Now What!

The Nuke Normal, psst, its a joke, let the NRC know that you know

Tell The EPA:

Its "Protective Action Guidelines" Are Not Protective And Must be Abandoned

Strengthen Radiation Protection Standards Instead!
May 15, 2013
Dear Friends,

The threat of terrorism, nuclear power reactor disaster and other nuclear accidents looms large in the world. Governments need to plan for disaster but should also work to prevent disasters that cannot be adequately cleaned up and remediated. We should not run the risk of sacrificing enormous areas if and when nuclear contamination--deliberate, accidental or otherwise--strikes.

The Environmental Protection Agency has recently revised its "Protective Action Guidelines" (PAGs) that would be used during and following a nuclear disaster. These PAGs are basically admitting that contamination levels could be so high from such an event that they may not be able to be cleaned up to existing standards such as the drinking water contamination levels. Thus, EPA would permit unacceptably high radiation risks at each of the stages after nuclear disaster without even suggesting any steps to prevent or minimize the potential disasters.

These PAGs already have caused a public outcry. Check out this article to get an idea of what EPA officials really think about you and your safety:  "Speaking at a March 12 symposium hosted by the Defense Strategies Institute, Paul Kudarauskas, of the EPA Consequence Management Advisory Team, said events like Fukushima would cause a “fundamental shift” to cleanup. U.S. residents are used to having “cleanup to perfection,” but will have to abandon their “not in my backyard” mentality in such cases, Kudarauskas said. “People are going to have to put their big boy pants on and suck it up.”

Tell the EPA to strengthen, not weaken, its PAGs and radiation protection standards generally. Act here.

EPA is, in a sense, “pre-approving” exorbitant allowable contamination levels, first for unusual and rarer events like a nuclear power reactor meltdown and explosion, but also  for other more routine and potentially frequent disaster such as transport accidents, which will be more common if the major campaign to move irradiated nuclear power fuel (high level radioactive waste) from nuclear reactors to consolidated interim storage sites begins. High “acceptable” contamination and exposures for dirty bomb scenarios are being morphed into regular allowable levels with the nation’s drinking water protection first on the chopping block. Next, the EPA PAGs are shoe-horning in the publicly rejected plan to allow radioactive waste to go to regular trash and be sent to contaminate recycling supplies.

Comments on the EPA PAGs are being accepted through July 15, 2013. So there is plenty of time for you to act, and to encourage your friends, colleagues, family members, social networks and the like to comment as well.

There are two ways to comment:

1) Send an e-mail directly to EPA through NIRS site here. You will be able to edit the sample letter (which is also shown below). However, as is the case with all government rulemaking comments, your e-mail address becomes part of your comment and can be viewed.

2) Comment at the regulations.gov website here. However, you will have to write your own comments, or copy and paste the sample letter shown below.

Note: NIRS is working with other groups and will be preparing much more comprehensive comments for organizational sign-on before July 15. We will let groups know when these are ready for sign-on. In the meantime, we encourage and hope everyone will take a moment to weigh in personally!

Docket ID No. EPA HQ-OAR-2007-0268

I oppose the EPA Protective Action Guides (PAGS) because they threaten the public with unacceptably high “allowable” radiation levels that simply do not protect us.

The PAGS admit that the amount of radioactive waste from a nuclear power disaster could be much greater than the nuclear disposal capacity in the county! So prevent the disaster instead of permitting much of that waste to be sent to regular trash, setting the precedent for doing this routinely.

Don’t use the threat of nuclear power and terrorists to justify increasing drinking water contamination thousands of times or more! Maintain or strengthen the drinking water standards. Don’t even consider reducing them so that less cleanup would be needed.

Keep, or make more protective, the action levels for doses to the thyroid (a highly radio-sensitive organ) and the skin that are already in place. The 2013 EPA PAGs do away with this protection.

Remove the automatic acceptance of very high food and water contamination levels (higher than being used in Japan after Fukushima) incorporated from 1998 Food and Drug Administration and 2008 Homeland Security PAGs.
Sincerely,
your name

From Nuclear Hotseat --------------------------------------------------- In light of yesterday's Atomic Safety and Licensing Board action on behalf of the NRC it is important to remember that the five NRC commissioners can reverse that decision, and they have a record of doing so. I believe it is time to start a letter, email, phone campaign to all five NRC commissioners letting them know that we are in agreement with the Atomic Safety Board's decision and demand nothing less, and we expect this to happen here in California without the NRC commissioners reversing this decision. We should continue this campaign everyday until the NRC commissioners have made a statement to the effect that they are not going to reverse this decision. Email address and Phone #'s of the NRC commission below. Chairman@nrc.gov Tel: 301-415-1750 CMRSVINICKI@nrc.gov Tel: 301-415-1855 CMRAPOSTOLAKIS@nrc.gov Tel: 301-415-1810 CMRMAGWOOD@nrc.gov Tel: 301-415-8420 CMROSTENDORFF@nrc.gov Tel: 301-415-1800 Sample letter to the commission, or please feel free to write your own letter: Dear Commissioners, Yesterday's decision by Atomic Safety and Licensing Board is exactly what the people of California have been calling for these many months. We want to express our gratitude for this decision, and at the same time, let you know what we expect to happen as this process moves forward. 1. No reversal of this decision by the five NRC Commissioners. That would be seen as a breach of your oath of office and your motto "protecting people and the environment" 2. For this adjudicated public hearing under oath to happen here in Southern California. 3. Clarity and transparency in this process. Hoping to work through this process with the NRC for a safer future for all Californians, especially our children. Sincerely, your name

Kill List - Midwest

Well if the President can have a Kill List, why can't the good guys have a Kill List.

Here are the biggest nuclear threats in the Midwest.    They are some of the oldest, growing up around Chicago and the famous Argonne National Lab who did open air experiments to intentionally make reactors go critical and explode.   Seriously, Mr. Gunderson pointed that one out to me.   See the video at the bottom for documentation of this "Experiment".       Nuke plants can blow up like minor nuclear bombs, the proof is in the video.    The pro-nukers hate this one.

Here is the Midwest map and explanation.

My kill list is, in order of priority, but will take any opportunistic weaknesses that present.

 

Kewaunee – CONFIRMED KILL

Palisades (Clunker with lots of problems run by Slumlord Entergy, on Lake Michigan)

Lasalle (2 Boiling Water like Fuku, even a lightning strike just took them down)

Cook (On Lake Michigan, 37 YO)

Point Beach (on Lake Michigan, 41 YO, and huge uprate to 118%)

Dresden (2 Boiling Water like Fuku, 41YO and huge uprate to 117%)

Quad Cities (2 Boiling Water like Fuku, 39 YO and huge uprate to 117%)

Monticello (Boiling Water like Fuku, 42 YO)

For a checklist on an easy to execute "Shelter in Place" box which also makes a great "Bug Out box", check it out here.

http://nukeprofessional.blogspot.com/p/radiation-preparation-resources.html

I promised some videos, and checked my own links, funny, they don't exist anymore.   4 out of 5 videos.   Imagine that.    I will ask Gunderson if he has an archived version.

Palisades Nuclear Plant - Direct Leak of Radiation into Lake Michigan

Palisades nuclear plant on Lake Michigan is too old, too dangerous, it has too many NRC violation, changes are needed.   I have been writing about Palisades for some time.   And then yesterday, Palisades fessed up to an uncontained leak of radiactive water right into Lake Michigan, but they said "it was small" although they presented no Bq/gallon, or mSv per gallon actual radiation measurements. 
Michigan Article on Direct Leak into Lake


Also amazingly coincidental, is that Kewaunee nuclear plant on Lake Michigan also, was permanently shut down just last week.    It was also old, and was deemed non-economical to operate anymore.    Solar energy from Madison, Wisconsin strong solar program and natural gas made nuclear "too costly to compete".  They say it will cost $1B to decommission that plant, so that means $2B to $3B.    Unless of course the company just goes bankrupt and then they saddle the government with the cost.   Simple enough...sell off the Corporate assets that are performing well, leave the dead wood behind, and then declare bankruptcy.    There was a long term cost when the nuclear boondoggle was started, now we have to start paying the cost to get rid of them.    No doubt, the nuclear magicians have already disappeared the profits.    And there is a Federal cleanup fund that nuclear has contributed to throughout time.   Of course those funds are not segregated, and they can easily just be "captured" for some other program to offset the sequester, you know the game.    At any rate, those funds, are only about 10% of the real cost of the cleanup (and that is just a 50 year perspective), we have to babysit these spent fuel materials for thousands of years.

NYT Kewaunee Article


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Palisades is from 1971, that's too old.    And the operators, Entergy, have a history of abusive operation of these clunkers.   They can't make enough money, so they cut corners.

Why not write to

Anthony Vitale who is VP of operations:
Palisades Nuclear Plant
27780 Blue Star Memorial Highway
Covert, MI 49043-9530

Look at these serious violations.   Plant electricians performing the wrong work and causing a complete failure of the emergency backup systems.

Here in 2012 the Palisades Design Engineering Manager gets arrested, and then fired.   Makes you say hmmmmmm.

http://pbadupws.nrc.gov/docs/ML1229/ML12291A877.pdf

Here are more VIOLATIONS

 http://pbadupws.nrc.gov/docs/ML1204/ML120450037.pdf

Uh, Mr. Vitale....after you had been put on notice that pump maintenance was necessary, you still IGNORED IT?

http://pbadupws.nrc.gov/docs/ML1200/ML120030406.pdf


Here is some plant info and a broader list of violations

http://nuclearstreet.com/nuclear-power-plants/p/palisades-nuclear-power-plant.aspx 

 After multiple radioactive leaks, the NRC says "it's up to the plant to improve"

Chandrathil says the NRC is doing everything it can. "We have a questioning attitude. We look at very specific areas and we have gone ahead and identified deficiencies at the plant. It’s up to the plant to improve their performance," she said.

This also in 2012, more leaks and lies

Entergy bought this clunker for $360M in 2007, AND they got saddled with used fuel pools

The purchase also included receipt of the used fuel at Consumers' decommissioned Big Rock Point Nuclear Plant, located in Charlevoix in northwestern Lower Michigan.

Entergy owns --- the worst of the worst

• Indian Point
• Palisades
• Pilgrim
• Vermont Yankee

ABC News--Palisades is one of the 3 most dangerous plants in the US

http://www.abc57.com/news/NRC-upgrades-Palisades-Nuclear-Plants-safety-status-but-adds-more-inspection-time-183100331.html


How would this look on the Great Lakes?    Wipe out the Midwest, the last bastion of manufacturing in the USA.

Meteor coincidence? Methinks not

The recent Russia Asteroid/Meteor event shed light on one important fact.    The powers that be, the experts, will not warn you when the Shite is about to hit the fan.

I hypothesize that the earth is often subject to multiple "attacks" from space rocks.   You really MUST SEE the end of this article, you will be shocked.

Here is some backup from the Recent Russia "attack"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Did you ever here of the "Great Chicago Fire" of 1871 (October 8, 1871)
http://www.chicagohs.org/history/fire.html

The fire was blamed on a cow tipping over a lantern

The firefighters were tired because they had been fighting another big fire the previous day, although the other fire did not get out of control (Remember this now, I'll tie it all together at the end)
On October 7, 1871, 30 of the 185 Chicago Fire fighters were injured fighting the "other fire"

October 7,1871 a planning mill on Canal Street set fire. It grew four blocks before firemen could get it under control. The fire left a loss of $750,000. Firemen themselves had taken a toll. Many pieces of apparatus were destroyed or put out of commission. The firemen were also worn out after 16 hours of combating the flames.

The Chicago Fire killed 300 people.

As a boy getting schooled in Wisconsin, we learned about the Peshtigo Wisconsin Fire, which is still the worst fire in human history for loss of life (ignoring the fires of Tokyo which were set by US bombs), and I remember the teacher exclaiming on what a huge coincidence that the Chicago fire was on the same day.

The blaze began at an unknown spot in the dense Wisconsin forest. It first spread to the small village of Sugar Bush, where every resident was killed. High winds then sent the 200-foot flames racing northeast toward the neighboring community of Peshtigo. Temperatures reached 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit, causing trees to literally explode in the flames.

Article here
http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/massive-fire-burns-in-wisconsin

Actually, the Peshtigo fire started on Oct 7, 1871, the same day as the smaller Canal street fire in Chicago which was contained.   The Peshtigo fire took 1,200 to 2,400 lives, there were not enough survivors to identify many of the dead who were buried in mass graves.

hmmmmm
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alot of "unexplained fires" have occured in the mid-west and Canada.

Manistee, Michigan had also saw a large fire that wiped out a town of 3500 people
http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mimanist/Page61.html 




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Holland Michigan, also had a great fire that devoured the city with lighting speed.
http://www.awesomestories.com/disasters/great-fire/holland-burns

And another fire listed as the 4th largest Epic Disaster occured at Port Huron Michigan wiping out 1,200,000 acres and taking 200 lives.   Weird also that 10 years later Port Huron was hit again and 1,000,000 acres burned and 282 lives were lost.

http://www.epicdisasters.com/index.php/site/comments/biggest_us_wildfires/

Illinois took another fire hit as Urbana Illinois (about 135 miles southwest of Chicago) was destroyed by Fire.
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/urbana

And further east and north om Windsor Canada, across the river from Detroit, also got nailed with a City destroying fire

A fire consumed much of Windsor's downtown core on October 12, 1871, destroying over 100 buildings.

 http://ca.wowcity.com/windsor/page_city_info

And in Minnesota, in a less populated area

On October 3, Professor Cleveland Abbe, one of the US Signal Service forecasting meteorologists scribbled the following comment on the edge of his weather map: "Unparalleled fire in northeast Minnesota-- great fire in northwest Minnesota." At the time, a prairie fire swept along a 100-mile (160 km) front from Breckenridge, Minnesota to the Big Woods.

http://www.islandnet.com/~see/weather/almanac/arc2000/alm00oct.htm


_____________________________________________________________________
This chart showed that the midwest was dry that year, but not crazy dry

OK - To Wrap it All Up
With all those midwest mega fires, what date and year did they occur?

Manistee, MI            October 8, 1871
Holland, MI              October 8, 1871
Urbana, IL                October 9, 1871
Windsor, Ontario       October 12, 1871
Breckenridge, MN     October 3, 1871

10 Fires around
Peshtigo, WI              October 7, 1871
Canal street, IL          October 7, 1871
Chicago Fire              October 8, 1871

So now, if we were about to fly through a group of asteroids, do you think the powers that be would warn you in any way?    After they have covered up Fukushima?

Similar events have happened, with the "coincidence" being discounted by the "experts"

On November 27, 1885, an iron meteorite fell in northern Mexico, at the same time as a 15,000 per hour outburst of the Andromedid meteor shower. The Mazapil meteorite has sometimes been attributed to the comet, but this idea has been out of favor since the 1950s as the processes of differentiation required to produce an iron body are not believed to occur in comets.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finally, I guess I need to fess up, a few other people have put together The Chicago, Peshtigo, and Manistee fires

http://www.thunderbolts.info/tpod/2006/arch06/060206chicagofire.htm
http://www.thunderbolts.info/tpod/2006/arch06/060207biela.htm


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finally, some of the debunker's debunkers comments are just hilarious

Others have looked to science, saying the coincidence of two such great fires happening in one evening is too much to believe. Some think Biela’s Comet, which was passing over the Northern Hemisphere at the time, could have dropped balls of methane, which ignited the flames. This theory has been disputed by many, who claim the meteorites which fall to earth are not warm enough to set fires.

 ___________________________________________________________
And others have pointed to the 1871 Fire Storm as linked to a specific comet that broke up and created an "asteroid field".     Comet Biela


http://www.angelfire.com/mi2/gfmeteor/visitors.htm

Ruth -- I read with great interest the material you sent. It is very similar to studies we made prior to publishing our hypothesis on the internet. While the historical data is accurate, the final conclusions are short-sighted. The best way to illustrate the physics involved is to study what happens on a billiards (pool) table. The Q ball is like the comet Biela. It strikes the target balls (asteroid belt), imparting greater velocity to these targets than the resultant velocity of the Q ball. In other words, a collision of Biela in the asteroid belt sent thousands of asteroid pieces in all directions -- some in the exact orbit of the comet, some in new elliptic orbits, and some in parallel orbits with the Earth between Earth and Mars. The first collision broke Biela into two distinct nuclei. Successive collisions broke it to bits. There are several types of meteors -- some are rock and metal material like the meteorite we found, and some are comet material -- more easily vaporized in the upper atmosphere. Some asteroids hurled out of the belt by the Biela collision continued in the same orbit as the comet, but with greater imparted velocity, eventually arriving a year earlier than the expected return of the comet! This cluster of crushed asteroid material composed of mineral and metal did not vaporize as easily as the comet material. It came down in a ballistic pattern as described on our web site, igniting fires from Michigan to Illinois and clear up into northern Wisconsin. The reason we can be quite sure of the hypothesis is the physical evidence: we have the biggest recovered piece. Others have found large meteorites also -- all along the same trajectory -- east to west.

Lastly, we should look at the Tunguska event in 1908 in Russia.    This is not likely to be the same asteroid belt as the 1871 Biela Comet Belt, since Biela comet has a period of 6.6 years, indicating a return visit in 1904 or 1910.6.

Funny though, there appears to be only 1 picture that exists from the Tunguska Event, and it clearly shows not just that the trees were knocked down, but they were also torched, no branches or leaves remain.   And the naysayers pimp the idea that space rocks don't get hot enough to start fires.

Strontium, the Bogeyman exists, a Wicked One Two Punch

If you like this stuff sign up as a follower !!!

h/t ENENEWS  http://enenews.com/study-900-trillion-becquerels-strontium-90-ocean-fukushima-plant-direct-discharges-cooling-water

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are bogeymen that we do not speak of, but let us speak of them now.


Indeed, Strontium is truly the Bogeyman.      The "hit energy" is .546MeV Beta, which if that is not bad enough, the daughter radionuclide of that reaction is Yttrium Y90 with a short half life of 2.5 days....so you get a quick and predictable secondary blast of Beta but this time at a much higher energy at 2.2 MeV.   This is THE HIGHEST FORCE punch of any of the common radionuclides.   Think Mohammed Ali.

Ouch, so first you get sucker punched by the Zombie Bogeyman, then in your weakened state, your get a point blank massive blow from a MMA fighter.

Strontium right into the bone and stays there, and of course the blood is produced in the bones, and then you get leukemia, which is terrible and deadly, often very quickly.

1963 was the peak levels of atmospheric pollution from nuclear testing.

Kids tested high in strontium in their teeth (think tooth fairy and that workman's comp nightmare, LOL) in those days.   There were also alot of respiratory realted ailments, and nuclear fallout does cause that.

I was born in 1963.   I almost died twice from respiratory ailments, in my first 2 years.    Nuclear almost got me.   Now it's time to Kill Nuke.

You can protect against Strontium by loading with calcium (think Tums) but it must be done within 24 hours, and sooner is better.  The liars will never fess up within 24 hours.   


The below link shows how to protect against certain radionuclides.

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lO_aaf9MEPQ/UQWbNkuyHfI/AAAAAAAALuY/juX3cmCV-jM/s1600/decorpatation+list.png

And the Fukushima "water treatment" only takes out the cesium, not the strontium, that is why "they" try very hard to avoid talking about the bogeyman under the bed, Strontium.    The Fukushima treated water is thus highly concentrated in strontium.

In fact, as of Feb 2013 TEPCO has not done any removal of Strontium, although the infamous ALPS system which can remove some strontium is supposed to be working in March 2013.   After that, TEPCO wants to dump the still somewhat radioactive water right into the ocean, because they "don't have room for more tanks".

http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/dy/national/T130222004411.htm

Besides the massive radiation from the initial dispersal exlosions and nuclear fires, and the subsequent continuous groudwater pollution, a further "dump" from nuclear boy, will mean many fish, shells, and coral will have a large concentration of strontium, and the half life is right around 30 years, just like cesium.  The gift that keeps on giving.

Here is a scientific paper on Strontium specifically related to Fukushima.
http://www.biogeosciences-discuss.net/10/2039/2013/bgd-10-2039-2013.pdf

Here are some handy charts for Energy Levels and types of emissions (alpha, beta, or gamma)
Interesting that the energy levels are different from the ones stated in the biogeosciences scientific document above.

To remove radioactive cesium from the water, TEPCO introduced the Simplified Active Water Retrieve and Recovery System (SARRY) in August 2011. Fourteen four-meter-tall cylinders stand inside a SARRY building. Filters inside the cylinders remove radioactive cesium, making the radiation dose 10,000 times lower.

 On the west side of the plant's grounds, another system dubbed ALPS (Advanced Liquid Processing System) was being constructed. As this can remove 62 of 63 kinds of radioactive materials released from the plant, TEPCO decided to build ALPS to deal with materials that SARRY cannot handle, such as strontium. The one material ALPS cannot remove is tritium.
