Plume-Gate: the world’s largest, provable cover-up and conspiracy

“For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence–on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations. Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed.”  

JFK from his “President and the Press” speech to the U.S. press core on April 27th, 1961

Historically speaking, Plume-Gate is the world’s largest, provable, cover-up and conspiracy. If the Guinness Book of World Records considered ‘cover-up and conspiracy’ as a legitimate category, then certainly Plume-Gate would be at the very top of the list…above 9/11, above Watergate, above Fast and Furious, above even the JFK assassination, and not just for the sheer size and scope of the conspiracy, not because of the many alphabet agencies involved, not because President Obama is implicated, not because it reveals the truth about nuclear power and everything that goes with it, but because Plume-Gate is PROVABLE. And that proof is available to the public in the form of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s Freedom of Information documents. The simple fact is: all one needs is the desire to know and the ability to read to familiarize oneself with this grandiose cover-up.

(below) From the Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s (NRC) Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) documents: Coincidence theorists are abuzz about this email that proves the NRC and Japanese “Utility Execs” were conducting a ”Japan Earthquake and Tsunami Drill” as the March 11th, 2011 disaster unfolded.

Now I ask you, my fellow Americans: what does it mean that 2-1/2 years after the Fukushima catastrophe that I seem to be the only English writing journalist reporting on the world’s largest, provable cover-up and conspiracy?

I tell you it is a testament to our government’s ability to suppress information.

Furthermore, I cannot stress enough that Plume-Gate is the ‘silver bullet’ we have waited so long for. It reveals the truth about nuclear power. It reveals the truth about the conspiracy of which John F. Kennedy spoke of. It is an opportunity we dare not waste and it rides on the lives of all who have died and all who will die from Fukushima.

I ask the parents of America, how much do you love your children? Do you love them enough to protect them from an immediate danger, a biting dog or perhaps a kidnapper? Of course you do. But then I must ask: why more do not join the fight to shut down nuclear power? Is it because the danger is an unseen one? Is it because the danger is too great? Is it because the fight is too time consuming? Do they not understand the grave threat of nuclear power? Do they not know about the fallout from Plume-Gate and its consequences?

I say again it is clear to me that information is being suppressed on a scale never before known in the United States of America. The general public simply does not know the facts.

I put it to you now, that when life-saving information is withheld from the public, in an orchestrated fashion, by agencies of our government, corporate entities and the media, that this is disloyalty to our country and our citizens: IT IS TREASON!

“It took National Geographic, so-called scientists, it took them 880 days to report what an old plasterer reported on in 12 hours.” ~Kevin Blanch (YouTube vlogger, anti-nuclear activist and leukemia survivor)

Allow me too summarize what I have learned thus far from reading the NRC FOIA documents pertaining to Fukushima:

1) The damage to the Fukushima Daiichi facility was much greater and the ability to respond was much more difficult than we have been led to believe. There is a reference to a 46 foot tsunami, the height of which was measured by TEPCO on the walls of Unit’s 1 and 2. There is evidence Spent Fuel Pool (SFP) #4 and #3 went dry and had a ‘zirc fire’. At times, dose rates at the facility were lethal or near lethal and as such workers were, at times, unable and unwilling to make repairs. There is talk of 450-600 REM/hr between Unit’s 2 and 3 and MOX sludge causing access problems. Bulldozers were used to push rubble into piles to reduce the dose rates. Engineers and workers were unable to follow protocol as there was/is no known procedure that will rectify a prolonged station blackout due to saltwater inundation of switch boards, circuitry, electrical components, diesel generators etc. from a tsunami. The force of the wave dislodged and damaged the diesel fuel tanks that held the fuel that would have powered back-up generators and when the diesel generators themselves were not damaged from being submerged, the control panels that operated them were. The water-cannons and helicopter water drops were marginally effective and did little to cut dose rates. In the end, it all came down to shipping the Bechtel pumps from Perth, Australia…hooking them up and pumping (in most cases) saltwater into the reactors (At least one pumping unit was delivered to Japan on March 22nd, 2011 but I’m still hunting evidence that shows the pumps were even used.) DOD foot the bill on the Bechtel pumps which means John Q. Taxpayer actually covered the cost…approximately 9.6 billion dollars. It was at least two weeks before power began to be restored to any significant level in what can only be described as a slow, painstaking effort. There is proof of multiple radioactive plumes being emitted from the Fukushima facility…some well into the month of April, 2011. There is discussion that NOAA tracked a 19 mile radioactive cloud along the Japanese coast. There are TEPCO maps of measured (not modeled) plumes, some of which are over 60 kilometers long.

(below) From the NRC FOIA documents: March 13th, 2011…an excerpt from the Eliot Brenner memo to NRC OPA staffers:

brenner memo

2) The world’s largest, provable cover-up is indicated in the NRC FOIA documents. Some of the agencies/figureheads implicated are: NRC, DOE, EPA, CDC, HHS, DHS, FEMA, NOAA, USAID, DOD (Navy, Naval reactors), White House, President Obama, Bechtel, GE, IAEA, INPO, NEI, and others in an orchestrated attempt to downplay and conceal the radioactive plume and fallout from Americans. Documents, plume models and SitReps (situation report) were denied to China, US states and global ‘stakeholders’. NEI and the ‘Federal Family’ had a password protected database for US Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) ‘rooftop grabs’. Information was suppressed by use of prefabricated ‘talking points’, Questions and Answers and Press Releases. NRC spends millions to search for negative press and to actively and aggressively perform countermeasures in the form of disinformation and careful gatekeeping by their agents (bloggers) online, on TV or in print (i.e.; we know them as trolls and shills). In one memo Eliot Brenner states (in regards to the NRC press release): ‘while we know more than what these say, we’re sticking to this story for now’. There is evidence of subversion of the Freedom of Information Act by the NRC. There is evidence that plume and fallout models were based on 96 hours or 4-5 days of emissions and there is proof that emissions continued up to the end of March and beyond. Officials did NOT issue rainwater warnings or ANY warnings based on these models. There is talk of modeling fallout in Alaska, California, Hawaii, and Midway. Conservative estimates ranged around 4.5 REM to children in a transpacific model. There was plenty of discussion of a ‘President’s worst case’ scenario…it was also based on 4-5 days of emissions. There is discussion about having the benefit of knowing all about Chernobyl even modeling based on Chernobyl depositions. FEMA was told to ‘stand down’. There is concern about a ‘diverging perspective’ and discussions about staying ‘aligned’.

3) It is obvious by the level of importance that the NRC, Japanese authorities and others placed on Potassium Iodine (KI) throughout the FOIA documents that it is a very important part of protecting oneself from fallout following a meltdown. This contradicts what US authorities have led us to believe over the years…that KI is not that big of a deal. I am not aware of any requirement that US Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs) must stock KI in case of an accident.

4) There is evidence that ships from the US Navy were not relocated but that officials knew there were plumes and high levels of radiation all around the coast of Japan. NOAA tracked a 19 mile long radioactive cloud along the coast of Japan and on at least two occasions TEPCO measured (not modeled) radioactive plumes over 60 kilometers long. NRC officials state that most of the emissions blew offshore.

4 angst smallest

5) The NRC’s response to nuclear catastrophe is inhibited, in particular the ability to speak freely and communicate openly, because participants know they are being recorded and email saved for the Freedom of Information Act. In many cases participants were not at liberty to discuss the extent of the meltdowns as they really were. There is evidence of a ‘non-recorded’ line.

6) President Obama called for a review of our domestic fleet of reactors but to my knowledge no action is taken to rectify any of several critical issues. There are emails that indicate we have many non-seismically qualified spent fuel pools here in the US and that our nuclear plants may not be able to withstand a co-event 8.9 earthquake with a 46 foot tall tsunami (or tsunami of that height alone). NRC official admits that GI-99 manual proves they do not know everything about the seismicity of the CEUS (Central and Eastern United States), thus East Coast NPPs are vulnerable to a significant earthquake.

7) TEPCO intentionally discharged radioactive water into the Pacific beginning in March of 2011 and there is abundant proof of this in the NRC FOIA documents. Interestingly enough, I reported this fact before mainstream media did.

Throughout the NRC Freedom of Information documents pertaining to Fukushima there is evidence that officials are very much aware of the effects of the fallout from Chernobyl. There is discussion of using data recovered following the Chernobyl event in modeling of the fallout from Fukushima. There is even discussion of the number of fatalities that resulted from Chernobyl fallout. Officials cannot claim ignorance when you consider they admit they know all about Chernobyl, even using the data from the 1986 incident to aid in modeling. And consider also this: we are in the direct line of fire from the Pacific Jetstream…the same Jetstream that pilots ‘piggyback’, when returning from the orient, to save fuel. Can officials claim ignorance of the Pacific Jetstream?

It also proves they know there is a vast difference between the two figures.

How bad it really was

 

While it is true TEPCO withheld information from NRC officials they still had an excellent idea of what was unfolding and that Fukushima Daiichi facility was experiencing a ‘worse-case-scenario’…i.e.: a prolonged station blackout (PSBO). Ultimately this meant the nuclear reactors would be without power and proper cooling for weeks. When the nuclear fuel gets hot enough it begins to melt and will eventually take the form of a ‘corium’ blob, sublimating through concrete, rebar, steel and eventually down into the earth…forever irretrievable.

The Plume

The result of the prolonged station blackout and subsequent meltdowns would produce an incredible amount of radioactive emissions from the Fukushima facility: many, many times more than Chernobyl. The radioactive plumes and clouds would be carried aloft, out to sea, and in the direction of the USA. The initial plume was a lethal cocktail of plutonium, strontium, cesium, iodine and other radionuclides and made impact with the West Coast just six days after the catastrophe. Officially, Americans were told not to expect harmful levels of radioactivity and no warnings were given. Meanwhile, as far away as France, rainwater and green leafy vegetable warnings were issued. It is interesting to note that in 1986 Oregon issued rainwater warnings over Chernobyl fallout.

 

(below) While President Obama told Americans to expect ‘harmless’ levels of radioactivity and to take no precautions beyond staying informed, countries much further from the Fukushima catastrophe did give rainwater warnings (just as Oregon did in 1986 over Chernobyl fallout) and green leafy vegetable warnings as well.

Doses

I will remind you that the modeling done by NARAC, DITTRA, SANDIA and the NRC appears to have been based on 96 hours or 4-5 days of emissions and thus evidence of dose rates will be greatly underestimated. These downplayed models and ones like ‘the President’s run’ were what ‘harmless’ levels of fallout were based upon. In the NRC FOIA documents pertaining to Fukushima I found hard evidence that plumes as long as 60 kilometers were being emitted as late as the 30th of March and beyond. I would also remind you that in July, 2013 Unit #3 had several days of what TEPCO labeled ‘mystery steam’. The simple fact is, radioactive emissions from Fukushima have been and will continue to be ongoing: to conduct modeling based on 4-5 days of emissions is madness! Again I remind you that the numbers expressed in the following screencaptures will be extremely conservative:

Remember, modeling was based on short durations of 4-5 days of emissions. In the NRC FOIA documents, there is proof that emanations were ongoing well into the month of April, 2011. Recently, TEPCO announced a ‘mystery steam’ coming from Unit 3.

Fatality Studies

Ultimately, the US will pay a heavy toll from the effects of the radioactive plume and fallout. Conservative estimates range around 1.3 million American fatalities by the year 2030. Evidence from Chernobyl fallout indicates latent cancers did not manifest in significant numbers until 5-10 years after the event. It is important to note that all three of the fatality studies I refer to are congruent with one another i.e.: they have similar methodology and results. In the case of the bird study, the scientist in question discovered an increased mortality rate in young birds from Chernobyl fallout in 1986.

The Cover-up

Shut up, we’re being recorded: Freedom of Information subversion by the NRC

One of my most popular broadcasts on BlogTalkRadio was one where I voiced my concern that the ability for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to respond to Fukushima, or any meltdown for that matter, was hampered by the fact that many of their employees know they are being recorded and are thus unwilling to speak freely and openly. They are keenly aware that their conversations and emails, through the Freedom of Information Act, may be subject to scrutiny at a later date and that this recorded correspondence might reflect poorly on the nuclear industry (or even serve to incriminate someone). In short, the resulting response to a nuclear disaster will be neither economical, not efficient. Imagine your local fireman being unable to speak openly with his partner as they try to extinguish the blaze consuming your home.

There are other ways to subvert the Freedom of Information Act to be sure. ‘Blizzarding’ leaves researchers to comb through an untold number of pages that are dumped online all at once. To make it even more difficult, most NRC FOIA documents sport duplicate information; phone conversations, emails, reports, graphs and charts…are found doubled and even sometimes tripled in the same file. These tactics are designed to slow the flow of information from the NRC FOIA documents to the American public.

Redaction is another means to subvert the Freedom of Information Act. You might say that the NRC is ‘going to town’ with the redaction these days. It can’t be due to design secrets of the infamous Mark I containment model. That would be like redacting the ‘secrets’ of the old Chevy Corvair, which Ralph Nadar crusaded against because it was so dangerous of a car to drive. Interestingly enough, lots of redaction can be found when they are discussing the worst-case-scenario and Navy ships.

Do solar power companies redact and subvert their documentation?

Talking points, Q and As, and press releases: how the NRC keeps the American public in the dark

 

wolf sheeps clothing

Cover-ups are all about control of information. In the case of Plume-Gate, the reality of nuclear power, the radioactive plume (both by air and sea) and fallout and the evidence of the conspiracy itself must be kept hidden from the American public at all costs. Of course, a small percentage of informed critical thinkers will never be fooled, but the simple fact is you don’t have to fool everyone all the time. You only have to fool most of the people, most of the time.

“You can fool some of the people all the time, and those are the ones you want to concentrate on.” ~G.W. Bush

Generally speaking, when it comes time for authorities to speak with the public, there are three main tactics used to control the flow of information:

Talking Points: we’re all way too familiar with talking points by now. Talking points are meant to control the subject of a conversation, perhaps steering us towards a lesser, superficial issue and avoiding the main cause of a problem altogether. Talking points are a guide. Following them will lead you away from incriminating information about the establishment.

Questions and Answers: Q and As are all about control of the question AND control of the answer. When an investigator or reporter is unable to ask a question of his or her own design then free press is truly dead. Also, the answer to the question has been carefully prepared and has been formulated to be the least damaging or revealing answer possible. Think back to any Presidential election in America. Remember the ‘town hall’ sessions where the public was allowed to ask the candidate a question? Those questions are selected from a list of possible questions that have been pre-screened by the candidate himself/herself. You are NOT allowed to ask President Obama about aerosol engineering and drought. You are NOT allowed to ask President Obama about Plume-Gate and the radioactive fallout and consequential sickness.

Press ReleasesThink of a press release as a one-way street of information. Just like watching the mainstream news on TV at night. You can’t talk back, you can’t point out something is inaccurate and you can’t ask a question. True or not, the information in a press release flows one way.

Examples: I have provided below some examples of how effective talking points, questions and answers and press releases can be at controlling information. It is my opinion that this country is in dire need of a frank, open discussion about the subversion of the 1st amendment and what can be done to restore it. I said an open discussion…NOT a talking points or questions and answers session.

Liar, Liar: How NRC and other agencies present a united front of deception 

 

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” ~Joseph Goebbels (German politician and Reich Minister of Propaganda in Nazi Germany from 1933 to 1945)

When police detain multiple suspects simultaneously, they are careful to separate each one and interrogate them alone. In this manner, the suspected criminals don’t have an opportunity to ‘get their story straight’ or to ‘prepare the lie’ that they will later employ in an effort to avoid prosecution and punishment for their crimes. In the case of Plume-Gate, the world’s largest provable cover-up, the criminals involved had the opportunity to not only ‘get the story straight’ but to discuss the fact that they needed to ‘get the story straight’.

In a disaster the size and scope of Fukushima it is logical that responders want to ‘be on the same page’ as far as sharing accurate, up to date information: this alone does not indicate a cover-up, conspiracy or criminal wrongdoing. However, when you consider ALL the evidence that Freedom of Information researchers have provided from the NRC documents pertaining to Fukushima, the issue of ‘getting the story straight’ is just one more piece of a puzzle that fits perfectly into the obvious picture of a massive, multi-agency cover-up.

It is critical you understand ‘gaining alignment’ means prior approval of the task being requested (often modeling of the plume/fallout) or approval of information to be released and thus a unified voice as a result.

Flawed, downplayed or bungled modeling: How the NRC taught me to love the Plume

 

0 strangelove

 

Throughout the NRC Freedom of Information documents pertaining to Fukushima there is quite a bit of discussion concerning modeling of the plume and fallout. In order to issue radiation warnings, knowledge of the plume’s speed, direction and intensity must be known. This is done by way of computer analysis: the two fundamental variables being thesource term(s) data (sources of radiation being emitted) and the length of duration that the emanations will last for. Other possible factors to consider are the type of fuel itself, such as the Mixed Oxide (MOX) fuel in Unit #3 (which is more dangerous than the standard fuel that was being utilized in Units 1-2), and certain atmospheric conditions such as wind speed and direction.

The reality of the Fukushima disaster is that it WAS a worst-case-scenario for reactors 1-4. Consider the loss of electrical power for weeks on end and the initial ‘Plan B’ type of ‘water-cannon-concrete-truck’ cooling system response that NRC officials said was all but useless. How does it get worse than no cooling and no power for weeks?

 

2 pumper trux suck

 

If one considers the source terms and length of emissions that a true ‘worst-case-scenario’ would represent, it is easy to understand why the NRC and DOE had to downplay, delay and purposefully bungle the modeling of the radioactive plume and fallout. As a result President Obama was able make the statement that experts did not expect harmful levels of radioactivity to reach the U.S. and thus there were no warnings or alerts issued for American citizens. Meanwhile, other countries as far away as France, did issue rainwater warnings and green leafy vegetable warnings as well.

 

rainwater warnings

 

At the end of the day the simple fact remains: the truth about Fukushima (especially as revealed in the NRC FOIA documents) and nuclear power cannot coexist. Until the day of the fateful earthquake and tsunami in Japan, the establishment had been effective at suppressing the truth about the nuclear industry, even after Chernobyl. But now the size and scope of the effects of Fukushima make it impossible to ignore that truth any longer. And now that truth is beginning to chip away at the foundation of lies upon which this toxic industry has been built. How much longer before that one crucial keystone is removed that will topple the entire structure? 

 

Tactics used to downplay modeling/sampling: 

1)      To reduce the size and intensity of plume and fallout models, simply reduce the length of duration of the source term(s), ie: reduce the length of time that radiation will be emitted from the damaged reactor(s). Throughout the NRC FOIA documents pertaining to Fukushima a 4-5 day emission period was considered for most of the modeling of the radioactive plume and fallout. What’s wrong with that? Over 2 years after the catastrophe there are still emissions by air and sea and no end in sight. If, as many experts suspect, we are facing a quadruple ‘China syndrome’ the radioactive effluents will continue to be released for many years.

2)      To reduce the size and intensity of plume and fallout models, reduce the number of source terms. Of course with Fukushima, they knew right away that all power had been lost to Units 1-4 and that those units, without power or proper cooling for weeks on end, would all be source terms of a very high magnitude. The evidence shows that there were plenty of models circulating that downplayed the number of source terms, just like they did with the duration of emissions.

3)      To reduce the intensity of plume and fallout models, simply delay taking measurements and samples until 24 hours after the initial criticality. A 24 hour delay will allow time for the plume (and higher concentrations found in the initial release) to blow away. Subsequent measurements in the same location will not be as high.

4)      When a measurement or sample from the field is alarmingly high, simply question the veracity (methodology or type of test) and insist that another sample be taken to double-check the first. By the time that person can take another test, the concentrated plume that he or she sampled from originally has now shifted with the wind direction and the subsequent sample will naturally read much lower as the plume is no longer in the same place. The 2nd, much lower test result, will be the one utilized.

water sprays no effect

 

5)      When it comes to sampling, choose only short lived radioactive isotopes such as Cesium and Iodide. Never test for long lived radioactive isotopes such as plutonium. The less number of radionuclides you sample for, the less alarming the result will be.

6)      When sampling H2O, especially seawater from the ocean near Fukushima, take samples from the surface of the body of water and not from the sea floor. Heavy particulates which may be more radioactive, such as plutonium, will naturally sink to the bottom and can be avoided in this way.

7)      When it comes to a ‘worst-case-model’, create a wide range of possible ‘worst-cases’ with one of them being the ‘least-worst-case’. This is the one to promote. Although logic dictates there can only be one ‘worst-case-model’ the NRC and DOE are not the kind of agencies to let logic get in the way of their work protecting citizens and the environment (or our men and women in the armed forces for that matter).

Now let’s have a look at evidence obtained from the NRC Freedom of Information documents pertaining to Fukushima:

(below) From the NRC FOIA documents: Note the date of April 12th, 2011 and the estimate of the radioactive discharge from Fukushima as being 10% of Chernobyl. At best this estimate is based on a month of releases and at worst (and most probably) 4-5 days.

(below) From the NRC FOIA documents: An IAEA briefing, also from April 12th: “Russia also (correctly) pointed out that the accident at Fukushima is still ongoing and it is premature to speculate how much radioactivity will be released…”

The Emperor Wears no Clothes: NPP “Rooftop Grabs” reveal picture of widespread fallout over US

 

map of 18 NPPs detecting Fukushima radiation

Another critical aspect to the Plume-Gate cover-up centers on the ‘rooftop grabs’ (radiation measurements) taken from nuclear power plants here in the United States. This data, reported by at least 18 Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs), paints a picture of widespread Fukushima fallout across the United States. It also proves authorities we’re well aware of the danger here at home but were unwilling to issue warnings or advisories (rainwater, milk, green leafy vegetables) so that the American public could take precautionary measures (remember that FEMA was ordered to ‘stand-down’). Because of the nature of this ‘smoking gun’ evidence, the samples were carefully secreted into a password protected data base overseen by the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI), labeled as OUO (Official Use Only) and made available exclusively to the ‘Federal Family’.

(below) modeling of Plutonium 239 (P-239) mirrors the map shown above of US Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs) that reported detecting fallout from Fukushima.

(Authors note: to be clear, there is a difference between the modeling of fallout and the actual sampling and detecting of fallout in the field. Modeling is an assumption, an estimate of the plume and fallout, generated by computers. Sampling and detecting yields actual real time results of radiation levels (with varying degrees of accuracy) at a specific location or locations.)

Seek and Destroy: NRC Spends Millions to Search for Negative Press

 

 

The strategy is simple. The NRC wants to know who is writing or speaking out against nuclear power and they want to know the moment an article or video is published. In a flash, the ‘Cyber Situational Awareness Team’ springs into action to ‘handle’ the situation. This is Big Brother at his best, clamping down on free speech and spreading disinformation through blogs and social networking sites such as FaceBook. Once the negative media is located, and this appears to be nearly instantaneous, the NRC begins an all-out information war to counter the effects of that particular piece. In many cases, a simple phone call will do to have an article removed or edited. Remember, these folks have corporate connections everywhere; writers have bosses and bosses work for owners. When the corporate owner of your newspaper calls and demands that you remove and anti-nuclear article, you better believe that article get’s pulled (or edited) 99.9% of the time.

Now I ask my fellow Americans, why is it that the nuclear power industry must act in this way? If nuclear power is clean and wholesome, as they insist it is, then why must the NRC spend millions in an effort to find and attack information that portrays them in a negative light? Shouldn’t the NRC ask themselves, why is there so much media speaking out against nuclear power?

And where are the countless activists speaking/writing out against solar power? Do solar power companies spend millions searching the press for articles that speak poorly of solar power? Something to think about.

Fear and Loathing on Fukushima Unit 4

By Hatrick  Penry

9/29/13

hunter thompson

(above: Author Hunter Thompson (1937-2005) was never afraid to report the truth no matter how ugly it was.)

The trick is to convince the American public, and indeed the world, that the worst-of-the-worst has not already happened at Fukushima. Even if that means a media campaign of fear-mongering based around a fantasy doomsday scenario involving the collapse of Unit 4 and its spent fuel pool. Interestingly enough, all the alternative and mainstream media outlets that are promoting this bogus Unit 4 doomsday scenario are the same ones who have chosen not to report on the Nuclear Regulatory Agency’s Freedom of Information Act documents pertaining to Fukushima. These documents tell the true story of Fukushima: the multi-agency cover-up that downplayed and concealed the radioactive plume and fallout, the reality of a prolonged station blackout that produced three ‘China Syndrome’ meltdowns, and the Unit 4 spent fuel pool zirconium fire and subsequent ‘melt on the floor’ of the fuel rods.

The sad reality is that the effects of a nuclear plant meltdown or spent fuel pool fire can be so sudden and so severe that the possibility exists that no safety precautions can be taken quickly enough to avoid the consequences completely. In the case of the Fukushima catastrophe, it took about a week to produce a measurable plume that traveled south down the coast and then swept inland across Tokyo. These plumes were laden with aerosolized plutonium. I ask you: how do you evacuate Tokyo in less than a week?  How will we evacuate New York if Indian Point has an accident and produces a plume? Where do you relocate a city of millions of people?

So you see, the reality of the potential of a meltdown or meltdowns is so horrific, it must be hidden from the public at all costs. And when a meltdown does occur, the truth of its severity and its effects must also be hidden from the public at all costs. Can you imagine what it would have been like if TEPCO, the Government of Japan, the NRC and the White House had been up front and 100% honest about the disaster from the start? What would have happened if officials announced that 1) a plutonium laden plume was drifting towards Tokyo and 2) multiple plumes and fallout were heading across the Pacific towards the West Coast of the US? What would have happened if officials were up front and honest about the triple ‘China Syndrome’ and Unit 4 ‘melt on the floor’ and its effects? No matter how you slice it, it would be ugly, very ugly.

It seems to me that when a country desires both national security and nuclear power at the same time, it desires the impossible. Furthermore, how can one have a rational discussion about national security if one does not include a frank, open discussion about the decommissioning of all nuclear plants? Which is a greater threat to the American public, Iran’s nuclear program or our own nuclear program? Why would Iran build a nuclear bomb to use against the US when we have hundreds of stationary bombs, in the form of reactors and fuel pools, already positioned throughout the country, with incredible payloads far beyond the capacity of any bomb or missile? Think of the possibilities: terrorist attack, sabotage, earthquake, tsunami, earthquake AND tsunami, flooding from a broken dam upriver, or even the old-fashioned accident that aging reactors are bound to have from time to time…why do we leave ourselves so vulnerable?

About the Fukushima Unit 4 Spent Fuel Pool:

The evidence, from the NRC FOIA documents pertaining to Fukushima, has led me to believe that:

1)      The March 11th, 2011 earthquake caused immediate structural damage to the Unit 4 building. Spent fuel pool coolant began to drain out through a crack or cracks that were a result of the earthquake.

2)      There was an H2 explosion and a wall or walls of the SFP #4 were ‘blown out’.

3)      On March 15th 2011, the hot offload of fuel experienced a zirconium cladding fire and subsequent meltdown to the floor of the spent fuel pool. According to the IAEA, SFP #4 was on fire and emitting radiation directly to the atmosphere for at least 9 hours and 10 minutes before TEPCO claimed it was extinguished.

4)      75% or more of the radiation contained in SFP #4 may have been released into the atmosphere. Modeling was done on a 100% release.

5)      Any fuel rods recovered (official numbers vary on what the inventory was) will be ones that were unused and ‘cool’…probably less than 25% of inventory. It is possible that all fuel rods were affected and none will be salvageable.

The Evidence:

To be clear: I cannot prove that the spent fuel pool of Unit 4 has been destroyed or damaged. Nor can the nuclear apologists prove that the pool is full of water and the fuel rods are intact. It should be noted that those who claim that the damage to SFP 4 was minimal and that the rods will be recovered have only their rhetoric to back them up. They offer no proof. YouTube videos alleging to be of the Unit 4 spent fuel pool could be any spent fuel pool in the world. Is it not evidence in and of itself that they have not proven beyond a reasonable doubt that their claims are true? How hard would it be to hold a current newspaper in front of a video camera and then make an inspection of Units 1-4 for the world to see? Do you believe TEPCO? Do you believe the NRC? Do you believe the Government of Japan or our own government? All of these entities have extensive track records of deception and dishonesty and they all have reason to hide the truth, especially in the case of the Fukushima disaster.

(below) From the NRC FOIA documents: Japanese authorities claim the fire at the spent fuel pool of Unit 4 is extinguished 9 hours and 10 minutes after it begins. Evidence found in the NRC FOIA documents contradicts this claim. As of March 16th, TEPCO had yet to remove the rubble blocking the path of fire trucks and other heavy equipment to the Fukushima facility. Helicopter water drops, the only other method of delivering water to the spent fuel pools, are said to be ineffective by NRC officials.

Throughout the NRC FOIA documents there is evidence that TEPCO pressured officials at the NRC to ‘reconsider’ their position. A final back-and-forth between Gregory Jaczko, Chuck Casto and Eliot Brenner settles the matter when they decide Jaczko will not ’roll back’ any of his statements  on Unit 4.

If freshly offloaded rods are clumped together, it makes a low or no coolant situation exponentially worse. “Checker-boarding” stores hot fuel rods next to cool fuel rods to even out the heat. 

434.2 question on layout of fuel rods in sfp 4

 (below) From the NRC’s NUREG-2157: hot fuel rods stored in close proximity could allow the “runaway oxidation reaction to spread”. This is known as a “propagating zirconium cladding fire” or a “zirc fire”.

 (below) An excerpt from the Robert Alvarez Study titled ”Spent Nuclear Fuel Pools in the U.S.: Reducing the Deadly Risks of Storage”. What you need to know about spent fuel pool fires… 

“In the summer of 2002, the Institute for Policy Studies helped organize a working group including experts from academia, the nuclear industry, former government officials, and non-profit research groups to perform in in-depth study of the vulnerabilities of spent power reactor fuel pools to terrorist attacks. By January 2003, our study was completed and accepted for publication in the peer-review journal Science and Global Security We warned that U.S. spent fuel pools were vulnerable to acts of terror. The drainage of a pool might cause a catastrophic radiation fire, which could render an area uninhabitable much greater than that created by the Chernobyl accident.

In addition to terrorist acts, there are several events could cause a loss of pool water, including leakage, evaporation, siphoning, pumping, aircraft impact, earthquake, the accidental or deliberate drop of a fuel transport cask, reactor failure, or an explosion inside or Spent Nuclear Fuel Pools in the U.S.: Reducing the Deadly Effects of Storage outside the pool building. Industry officials maintain that personnel would have sufficient time to provide an alternative cooling system before the spent fuel caught fire. But if the water level dropped to just a few feet above the spent fuel, the radiation doses in the pool building would be lethal — as was demonstrated by the loss of water in at least two spent fuel pools at the Fukushima Dai-Ichi nuclear power station.

The NRC and nuclear industry consultants disputed the paper, which prompted Congress to ask the National Academy of Sciences to sort out this controversy. In 2004, the Academy reported that U.S. pools were vulnerable to terrorist attack and to catastrophic fires. According the Academy:

“A loss-of-pool-coolant event resulting from damage or collapse of the pool could have severe consequences…It is not prudent to dismiss nuclear plants, including spent fuel storage facilities as undesirable targets for terrorists…under some conditions, a terrorist attack that partially or completely drained a spent fuel pool could lead to a propagating zirconium cladding fire and release large quantities of radioactive materials to the environment…Such fires would create thermal plumes that could potentially transport radioactive aerosols hundreds of miles downwind under appropriate atmospheric conditions.”

The NRC’s response to this was to attempt to block the release of the Academy’s report.”

(below) From the NRC ‘s NUREG-2157…”the NRC confirmed that the overall risks oassociated with these types of accidents remain low because the spent fuel pool loss-of-coolant event probability is low (NRC 2001)” and “…no new information has emerged that would cause the NRC to question the results of this study.”

Appendix of other important findings from the NRC FOIA documents

Let’s talk about Potassium Iodine (KI). Our nuclear plants don’t stock it and we are told by NRC officials it’s not that big of a deal to have in the event of a nuclear accident. Nothing could be further from the truth. Let’s see how important KI is to have in an accident like Fukushima:

(below) From the NRC website: the revised rule requires that States consider including KI as a protective measure. Considering to NOT stock KI is not a violation. Confused yet?

There is evidence that TEPCO has been intentionally discharging radioactive water into the Pacific since March and April of 2011 and this evidence comes from the NRC FOIA documents. NRC has known this all along. Please watch this video on this important subject: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9SilFcYVg4

(below) From the NRC FOIA documents: evidence that TEPCO intentionally discharged about 13,390 tons of ‘low-level’ radioactive water into the Pacific on April 10th, 2011.

Plumes and Navy ships

I suggest to you that if Navy ships were moved in an effort to avoid radioactive plumes, they were not moved on the scale and to the degree they should have been. At the end of the day one simple fact remains: just as a warning of the radioactive plume and fallout to those living on the West Coast of the USA would have been a wake up call about the reality of nuclear power, moving Navy ships en masse would also have been an indication that the situation at Fukushima (and the situation with nuclear power in general) was much more grave than authorities had been leading the American public to believe.

    There are many YouTube videos on the subject too.
    This website is mostly made up of FOIA documents. It’s hard to argue with documents.

    maybe the craig guy and his other sidekicks (the one that forbidS KNOWLEDGE)will quit their shill jobs and actually read some TRUTH

  2. Thanks for posting this Steve. As depressing as it is I think people should know that Reactor 4’s pool probably went dry within the first week. At least they will know it’s BS every time they talk about removing the rods and how dangerous it is.
    Mr. Muga did a fabulous job of putting this information together, didn’t he?
