Schon wieder Rauch über dem Unglücks-AKW
14 Meter hoch war die Flutwelle, die das Atomkraftwerk in Fukushima getroffen hat. Der Tsunami erhob sich damit mehr als doppelt so hoch wie von Experten bei der Planung der Anlage erwartet, berichtete der japanische Fernsehsender NHK unter Berufung auf den Betreiber Tepco. Jetzt, fast zwei Wochen nach dem verheerenden Beben und der Welle, kämpfen die Arbeiter noch immer gegen die verheerenden Folgen der Naturkatastrophe vom 11. März - und gegen die drohende Kernschmelze.

Japan reluctant to disclose footage of power plant taken by U.S. drone
The Manichai Daily news reports that the Japanese government has in its possession video footage of the Fukushima No. 1 Nuclear Power Plant taken by a U.S. military reconnaissance drone, but has yet to release the footage to the public, sources have revealed.
The footage taken from an RQ-4 Global Hawk drone was passed on to the Japanese government with permission for public release from the U.S. Air Force. U.S. military sources said that the decision to release the footage — or not — was up to the Japanese government.

Tokyo Boomerang - Radiation level in Tokyo: 0.04μSv! In Rome: 0.25μSv. ...Wait,
I rilievi fatti dai tecnici - comunica l'ambasciata italiana - danno una radioattività di fondo misurata sul tetto dell'ambasciata di 0.04 microsievert/ora. Per riferimento, il valore di radioattività ambientale tipico della città di Roma è di 0.25 microsievert/ora.

Adam Curtis - A IS FOR ATOM - Film
I am sorry I haven't put anything up recently. I have been busy finishing a new series of films for BBC-2
As a background to the ongoing crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant I am putting up a film I made a while ago called A is for Atom. It was part of a series about politics and science called Pandora's Box.
The film shows that from very early on - as early as 1964 - US government officials knew that there were serious potential dangers with the design of the type of reactor that was used to build the Fukushima Daiichi plant. But that their warnings were repeatedly ignored.
