Fukushima Groundwater Issue
Poses Many Questions -
Tepco now admits
contamination is entering their near-port quay. However, the data that has been
posted poses many currently unanswered questions. But we can be quite certain
that the contamination in the quay has not reached the open sea.

demand has to be in constant balance with electricity supplied – this
is the large scale problem Donald Sadoway wants to solve in this TED Talk. The
constraints of this problem are immense. A solution would need to
generate incredibly high power, have a long service life and come at a
very low cost.
Energy storage is the solution. Giant batteries could address the
problem of intermittency that prevents wind and solar from contributing
to the grid like a coal burning power plant.Donald Sadoway: The missing link to renewable energy

Nonproliferation Misinterpretation
Nonproliferation Misinterpretation
|
July 26, 2013
In a recent piece for Foreign Policy,
former Obama Iran hand Robert Einhorn argues that Iran should not be
allowed to enrich uranium because he feels Iran is not in compliance
with its Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) obligations, saying:[W]hat is not debatable is that Iran has forfeited—at least temporarily—any right to enrichment (and reprocessing) until it can demonstrate convincingly that it is in compliance with its NPT obligations.While this is something Einhorn may wish to be true, it is not correct on several levels. And if it's indicative of the viewpoint of American policymakers, this misunderstanding may be at the root of deadlock over Iran's nuclear program—a program that, according to the U.S. Director of National Intelligence, is not currently aimed towards weaponization. The Iran nuclear issue will not be resolved unless we come to grips with what the NPT is—and isn't.
Contrary to common belief, there is no agency or international body tasked with checking compliance with the NPT. And, even if there were, there is no automatic nuclear fuel-cycle “forfeiture” provision in the NPT, or any other legal instrument in existence. On both these counts Einhorn's argument is without legal basis.

International nuclear experts tell TEPCO ‘You don’t know what you’re doing’
Dale Klein, former head of the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) bluntly told the panel, composed of two foreign experts and four Japanese members including TEPCO’s chief executive, that their actions indicate they “don’t know what you are doing,” and that they do not have a conservative decision-making process. “It also appears that you are not keeping the people of Japan informed…and that you are not doing all you can to protect the environment and the people,” Klein blasted at TEPCO. He added that everyone is frustrated with the recent developments, and that because of this all the progress they’ve made on the clean-up at the plant will go unnoticed.

New Nuclear Fuel-Rod Cladding Could Lead to Safer Power Plants
July 25, 2013 — In the
aftermath of Japan's earthquake and tsunami in March 2011, the Fukushima
Daiichi nuclear plant was initially driven into shutdown by the
magnitude 9.0 quake; its emergency generators then failed because they
were inundated by the tsunami. But the greatest damage to the complex,
and the greatest release of radiation, may have been caused by
explosions of hydrogen gas that built up inside some of the reactors.
