National Forum | Re: ToI Report on CNDP Press Conference in Delhi on March 14 regarding Nuclear Disaster in Japan and Things To Do in India


In the light of three nuclear reactors exploding within a matter of three days and spreading radiation, forcing the Japanese Govt. to evacuate the population up to 30 Km. radius and enforcing no fly zone in 30Km. radius, the question of the safety of the first two reactors at Tarapur and Narora has been triggered as they too are of similar design.

 

The undue haste with which Manmohan Singh rushed to sign 123 under pressure from Bush, in spite of advices against the same by most retired Chairmen, but supported by the bought out Kakodkar, has now surfaced again why MM Singh kept the files to his chest even without discussing with his own partner Ministers in Govt. except two.

 

What is now revearled is that AREVA design reactors are yet to be designed and developed and even French are not familiar with its operations, leave alone Indians for the proposed nuclear plant in Konkan border in Maharashtra, and is fraught with dangers in situ when situations as in Japan arise.

 

Read the following which is apt to the situation today in the light of dangers of nuclear reactors. Moreover the claim that nuclear power is cheaper has been disproved that, in the iniyisal costs and depreciation/ interests on Capital costs are included, nuclear power is at least 300% costlier than thermal power.

 

NUCLEAR ENERGY PROGRAMME IN INDIA

Soon after Independence, the 'Indian Atomic Energy Commission' was set up in August 1948 in the new and fledgling Department of Scientific Research. But it was only on August 3, 1954 the fully-fledged Department of Atomic Energy

(DAE) was created under the direct control of the Prime Minister through a Presidential Order. The Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) itself was established in the Department of Atomic Energy by a Government Resolution of March 1, 1958. Just three months after the DAE was established, Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru unequivocally declared in a conference on 'Development of Nuclear Power for Peaceful Purposes': "We want to utilize atomic energy for generating electricity because electricity is most essential for the development of the nation."

 

*Long on Talk, Short on Performance*

Quite contrary to all the fanfare and high-pitched public relations exercises by the DAE, it is one of the most under-performing sectors in India. Just to illustrate, in 1954 a grand three stage program for development of nuclear power was announced. It had at that time been projected that there would be 8000 MW of nuclear power in the country by 1980. As the years progressed, these predictions were to increase. By 1962, the prediction was that nuclear energy would generate 20-25,000 MW by 1987 and by 1969 the DAE predicted that by 2000 there would be 43,500 MW of nuclear generating capacity. All of this was before a single unit of nuclear electricity was produced in the country.


As against these promises, the installed capacity in 1979-80 stood at about 600 MW, about 950 MW in 1987 and 2720 MW in 2000. The only explanation that the DAE has offered for its failures has been to blame the cessation of foreign cooperation following the 1974 nuclear weapons test. At the same time, these sanctions also provided the DAE with an opportunity: each development, no matter how small or routine, could be portrayed as a heroic success, achieved in the face of staunch opposition by other countries and impossible odds, while any failures could be passed off as a result of the determination of other countries to block and prevent India achieving technological advancement. Such continuous failures were, however, not because of any paucity of resources. All governments in New Delhi have favoured nuclear energy and the DAE's budgets have always been high except for a brief period in the early 90s.


Currently 17 nuclear power reactors produce 4,120 MW (2.9% of total installed base - as against the current installed base of renewable energy being 13,242 MW which is 7.7% of total installed base with the southern state of Tamil Nadu contributing nearly a third of it, largely through wind power). The DAE is planning to set up 20 units of indigenous 700 MW of pressurised heavy water (PHWR) type reactors. The DAE hopes to be overseeing a $100 billion investment in nuclear energy in the coming decade and importing some 40 light water reactors that will help India stabilize its demand for power by 2020. The DAE predicts that the nuclear share of electricity by 2020 would be 35,000MW.[1]file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/USER/ My%20Documents/Downloads/Concept%20Note%20(2).doc#_ftn1

 

*Big Plans for the Near Future*
According to the present DAE chief, India's Pressurised Heavy Water Reactors (PHWRs), which use natural uranium as fuel, "are world class." He claims further: "Our Fast Breeder Reactors (FBRs) are globally advanced. Our Advanced Heavy Water Reactor (AHWR) is globally unique." He contends that the FBRs would use plutonium-uranium oxide as fuel and the AHWR would have thorium as fuel.

Even as the DAE expects to "overcome all the problems" by 2012-2013 relating

to the shortage of natural uranium that has led to a drop in the capacity factor of the reactors, they are making grandiose claims on thorium as nuclear fuel. The DAE chief claims: "In technology terms, we have mastered thorium technology to get energy from it. We have small unit where we use U233 fuel extracted from thorium. We have mastered all aspects of thorium-based energy. It is on a small scale, we have to expand it."
[3]file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/USER/My%20Documents/Downloads/Concept%20Note%20(2).doc#_ftn3

The DAE leader argues further: "We cannot afford to hasten the thorium programme and we have to go step by step to get to use the thorium for the next 200 years."[4]file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/USER/My% 20 Documents/Downloads/Concept%20Note%20(2).doc#_ftn4

 

The DAE has claimed that the PWR, built by the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC), forms the powerhouse of INS Arihant, India's indigenously built nuclear-powered submarine. It was a joint endeavour of the DAE, the Navy and the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO). But the Director of BARC has admitted that "we have used the Russians as consultants." [5]file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/USER/My%20 Documents/Downloads/Concept%20Note%20(2).doc#_ftn5

 

The DAE chief claims "We have the technical expertise and capability to build nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and warships of global standards." He declares, "When the government asks us to build such ships, we will do it... we are confident that we can build even supply propelling energy for aircraft carriers."[6]file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/USER/My%20 Documents/Downloads/Concept%20Note%20(2).doc#_ftn6 Now the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) and BARC scientists also plan to power some parts of Chandrayaan II, an unmanned mission to the Moon, with nuclear energy.[7]file:///C:/Documents%20and%20 Settings /USER/My20Documents/Downloads/Concept%20Note%20(2).doc#_ftn7


With the clinching of the nuclear deal with the United States and consequent waiver by the 45-member Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) on September 6, 2008, India is now projected to generate an additional 25,000 MW of nuclear power by 2020. Two sites--in Gujarat (Mithibor in Bhavnagar district) and Andhra Pradesh (Visakhapatnam and Srikakulam districts)-- reportedly stand "earmarked" for the US companies such as General Electric-Hitachi and Westinghouse in the wake of the July 2009 visit by Hillary Clinton. A French nuclear company Areva has been setting up plants at Jaitapur in Ratnagiri district of Maharashtra, and at least four additional reactors are in the pipeline from Russia for Koodankulam in Tirunelveli district of Tamil Nadu. This is an extremely ambitious and massive expansion program.

Similar large-scale expansion plans are on in the Uranium mining sector also. The DAE claims that the capacity of the reactors would go up because the capacity of the mills at Jaduguda in Jharkhand that convert natural uranium into yellow cake has been augmented.

*Nuclear Nirvana?*
Nuclear energy is being bandied about as THE panacea for all of the country's ills and evils. It is projected as the single solution for the nation's lack of energy security, military security and the over all national security. All this in a country where hundreds of millions of people do not have food security, water security, sanitation security, other basic needs of life or human dignity! In the ruling classes' colonial mode of thinking, "the quality of life greatly depends on amount of energy spent."[10]file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/USER/My%20 Documents/Downloads/Concept%20Note%20(2).doc#_ftn10

For a developing country such as India that has many other pressing needs like food, housing, education, health, transportation and so on, energy alone cannot and should not be a top priority.When all is said and done, nuclear energy certainly cannot be the answer for our energy needs because of several important reasons:

[1] *High Cost*: Nuclear energy was once promoted as something which will be "too cheap to meter" but it has actually become "too costly to matter." The most conservative estimate has it that one MW of nuclear energy costs approximately Rs. 6.5 crores. This is definitely more expensive than thermal, hydro and other sources of power. If you factor in reactor construction delays, the exploding costs of material, governmental subsidies, departmental mess-ups, waste management costs, decommissioning expenses, and the other "usual" mega-project costs such as PR expenses, bribes, commissions, kick-backs and so forth, nuclear energy is prohibitively expensive. Furthermore, importing Uranium, reactors and other assorted technologies from foreign companies will impose a huge economic burden on the "ordinary citizens" of India while those companies reap high profits at our cost.

[2]
*Dangerous Waste*: The DAE does not reveal what they do with the nuclear waste or how they will deal with the huge amounts of waste that will be produced by all the upcoming nuclear power plants. The director of Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research (IGCAR) has recently denied news that radioactive waste from IGCAR and other nuclear sites all over India are brought to Kalpakkam and disposed into the sea.[11]file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/USER/My%20Documents/Downloads/ Concept%20Note%20(2).doc#_ftn11The DAE is yet to reveal to the public what they plan to do with the radioactive waste and how the safety of our people, our children, our grandchildren and the successive generations will be safeguarded for the next 48,000 years.

[3]
*Safety Issues:* Serious hazards are associated with Uranium mining, reactor safety (with the possibilities of damage due to accidents, breakdowns and natural disasters like earthquakes and tsunami), nuclear installation security (with the possibilities of damage due to sabotage, terrorist acts, aerial/missile attacks, or war-time assaults), and short and long-term waste disposal. No one can honestly claim that all these problems of safety and security have been overcome. Neither can anyone guarantee absolute safeguards against the above possibilities. In fact, a major accident in a nuclear power plant would surely be catastrophic in nature as was amply demonstrated by the Chernobyl accident on April 26, 1986. (This is why and how nuclear industry is unique in that no insurance company insures a nuclear power plant). And this possibility alone, which can never be ruled out, disqualifies nuclear power as a rational option.

[4]
*Health Hazards:* A heavy dose of radioactivity will cause "radiation sickness" and bring about immediate death. Lower doses can cause fatal cancers, leukaemia, and genetic defects that may not show themselves for 20 years or more and result in delayed death. The carcinogenic hazard associated with nuclear installations is quite severe.

 

[5] *Environmental Impact:* Uranium mining, thorium extraction, emissions from the nuclear power plants, waste dumping and nuclear weapons production all have a serious impact on our natural resources such as the air, the sea, fish catch, the land, ground water, food production, farm animals and so on. These operations have dangerous impact on our people, especially women, children, marginalized communities such as the tribals, dalits and fisherfolk in places like Jadugoda, Meghalaya, Hyderabad, and the coastal villages of Orissa, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Kerala. The nuclearization of India exhibits a blatant disregard to the overall environment and to the human rights of millions of people. The land rights, water rights, right to life and livelihood are all seriously impeded by the nuclear estate and its institutions and agents.

[6]
*'Developmental' Perils:* All the nuclear installations and activities will displace hundreds of thousands of people across the country. Many more people will lose their traditional livelihood activities and there will be a very high people-cost in our highly and densely populated country. Moreover, with highly centralised power generation, nuclear power would militate against decentralised development and further accentuate the "development" pattern, which, in the first place, has brought the humanity to the brink of total ecological destruction. Thus nuclear power is neither 'green' nor 'sustainable' and is definitely NOT a valid answer for climate change concerns.

[7]
*Decommissioning Woes:*Our future governments will have to incur heavy expenses to decommission the nuclear power plants, maintain those installations and keep them safe for the public for years to come. Similarly, our future generations will have to deal with this deathly heritage just so we can have electricity for 40 years.

 

[8] *Deadly Weapons & Arms Race:* Worst of all, nuclear energy has a strong technical linkage with and thereby provides a strong push for nuclear weaponization program and India itself is a graphic illustration. We are being pushed into a nuclear arms race with both Pakistan and China that renders us all more impoverished, vulnerable and unsafe.

[9]
*Wrong Choice:* Contrary to the "nuclear renaissance" claims, many countries around the world are phasing out nuclear energy because of the high cost, waste management issues and other complexities. The United States has not constructed a new nuclear power plant for more than 30 years and Russia has not erected a new plant since the Chernobyl accident in 1986. When we should be focussing on renewable sources of energy, planning micro generation of power, and emphasizing demand-based local generation through appropriate technology with popular participation, we are being forced to accept supply-based centralized power generation with dangerous advanced technology and absolute elite control. Squandering the chance to focus on sustainable development and appropriate technology and become a natural world leader in this day and age of climate change, our colonized leaders are taking us down the same old path of 'development of mass destruction.'

 

*Nuclear "Power"*
Nuclear power in India has always enjoyed official patronage, financial power, and military backing. Now it is also gaining political power. The most dangerous is the trend of the nuclear estate gaining more prominence, power and a forcible say in the country's socioeconomic-political power structures and decision-making processes. Their gaining an upper hand in the political circles with their autocratic values and tendencies is deleterious to the democratic fabric of our country.


To give just one example, the Land Transfer Act of Meghalaya, introduced in 1972, bars non-tribals from buying or transferring land in that state. Hence the Uranium Corporation of India Ltd. (UCIL) cannot go ahead with Uranium mining activities without clearance from the District Council and the state government. To circumvent this dilemma, the Meghalaya government is being pressurized to exempt the Land Transfer Act from the uranium rich belt in Mawthabah so that UCIL can set up a processing unit there for Uranium mining.[12]
file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/USER/My%20Documents/Downloads/Concept%20Note%20(2).doc#_ftn12

The nuclear estate is getting ready for joint ventures in nuclear energy sector where private companies, both Indian and foreign, could join hands with the Nuclear Power Corporation of India, Ltd. (NPCIL). Secretive efforts are on to rewrite the Indian Atomic Energy Act 1962 in order to facilitate private participation in nuclear activities. This combination of profiteering capitalists, secretive government and careerist scientists and engineers will not auger well for the country.

 

*Kanyakumari Declaration*

As a significant step toward addressing some of these important issues, a National Convention on "The Politics of Nuclear Energy and Resistance" was held in Kanyakumari (near the upcoming nuclear power plant at Koodankulam in Tamil Nadu) on June 4-6, 2009. The Convention that founded the "National Coalition of Anti-nuclear Movements (NAAM)" to coordinate the ongoing and upcoming local struggles and to back them up with a vigorous national campaign resolved in the Kanyakumari Declaration, *inter alia*:


*In the context of the unprecedented threats facing the world due to global warming and the rapid depletion of conventional energy sources, the nuclear establishment is most opportunistically pushing nuclear energy as a climate-friendly energy source. However, all the activities associated with nuclear power generation - the mining and processing of uranium, the building of nuclear power stations involving huge amounts of cement and steel, the long construction process, the decommissioning of plants and the handling of radioactive waste - are highly unsafe and expensive, and cause enormous climate-changing pollution. Nuclear energy is not cheap, safe, clean or sustainable. It also does not offer a solution to our energy problems.** *

 

It also further observed:*India's nuclear program has been and continues to be vigorously resisted by the people of this country whose struggles in the past have stopped two nuclear power stations – Peringome and Kothamangalam – from coming up.*[Similarly, huge public protests by the people of Nalgonda district in Andhra Pradesh stalled a proposed nuclear power plant in 1988 and a proposed Uranium mining project since 2003.]* This convention declares total support and solidarity to the struggles of people resisting the Koodankulam Nuclear Power Plant in Tirunelveli district, Tamil Nadu. It also declares support and solidarity to people in all other parts of the country such as Jadugoda, Meghalaya, Haripur and Jaitapur who are struggling against uranium mining and nuclear power plants.***

 

"Delhi Rally"*Given this situation, there is an immediate and urgent need to mobilize public opinion against the reckless nuclearization of the country and to build up resistance on a pan-national scale. In order to do that, all the various anti-nuclear organizations and movements need to come together and put up a united front. In the spirit of the Kanyakumari Declaration and the newly-formed "National Alliance of Anti-nuclear Movements," we must plan some national activities jointly.

It is precisely in this context, we propose to organize a "Delhi Rally" on October 2, 2009 (Gandhi Jayanti) in a location as close to Rajghat as possible. The "Delhi Rally" can be a display of our combined strength and a platform to meet each other and plan a national strategy. We all together must monitor the national energy strategy and the developments on the energy market, undertake economic analysis of the development of nuclear energy, carry out independent risk assessments of various nuclear projects and activities, and plan regional and national joint future actions.

Below are a few suggestions for the "Delhi Rally" and the Organizing Committee would finalize the program on the basis of available resources, time and other practicalities. The idea, however, is to connect with Gandhi's powerful image as a symbol of peace and justice and utilize that to strive for nuclear-free status and environmental redemption for India and humane development for Indians:


[1] The day-long program may begin with a group of youth and children gathering and wailing at the Father of Nation's grave about the Indian government's nuclear policies and programs and the bleak future these are going to bring about for them.

[2] Activists could make a national appeal from Rajghat to all the Gram Sabhas across the country to pass a resolution against the nuclearization of the country and send it to relevant authorities.

[3] These activities may be followed by deliberations by anti-nuclear activists from across the country, songs and dances, exhibitions and demonstrations.

[4] Anti-nuclear activists may cook food with solar cookers and serve the participants lunch.

[5] In the afternoon the activists from across the country may rally to the nearby 'Delhi Gate' carrying a giant piece of (fake) yellow cake, (balloon models of) nuclear power plants, (mock) nuclear waste and (imitation) nuclear weapons to highlight the grave dangers that Uranium mining, nuclear power plants, nuclear waste, and nuclear weapons pose to the Indian public.

[6] A Press Meet could be organized at the 'Delhi Gate'.

 

[7] A delegation could meet with the President of India and other select leaders with a memorandum exhorting them to make India nuclear-free.

No Deals, No Mines, No Reactors, No Dumps, No Bombs!
Don't Nuke Our Children's Futures!
We Say 'NO' to Nuclear!

Naysayers call for shunning nuke energy
15 Mar, 2011 0208hrs IST TNN

NEW DELHI: The crisis in Japan's nuclear power plant has triggered a fresh
debate over safety of India's nuclear safety with naysayers claiming
vindication of their stand that the country should shun the path of nuclear
energy.

The Coalition for Nuclear Disarmament and Peace (CNDP) on Monday demanded a
complete moratorium on India's civilian nuclear activity and a safety audit
of all nuclear facilities. CNDP's Praful Bidwai called for a transparent
public safety audit of all nuclear facilities involving members of civil
society and independent experts.

"India must radically review its nuclear power policy for appropriateness,
safety, costs, and public acceptance, based on a holistic view of our energy
needs and best ways of sustainably meeting them," said Bidwai, describing
the nuclear meltdown as a wake-up call for India.

The statement came on a day when activists from Jaitapur on Maharashtra's
Konkan coast – the proposed site of what will be the world's largest nuclear
power complex – protested in Mumbai demanding a total scrap of the project.

Bidwai readily supported the demand. "There should be a moratorium on all
further civilian nuclear activity.

The ministry of environment and forests must revoke all conditional
clearances granted to nuclear projects, including Jaitapur and other
reactors," he added.

CNDP activists argued that the Fukushima reactor crisis had proved

Naysayers call for shunning nuke energy

"India is planning the world's largest nuclear complex in Jaitapur and several other nuclear power parks along the coast and inland. However, India does not even have an independent nuclear regulatory authority that can evaluate and certify reactor designs and set its own safety regulations and standards. Under the circumstances, further nuclear expansion is deeply irrational," Bidwai said.

Re: National Forum | Re: Japan Disaster Raises the Larger Question (once again): Is Nuclear Power Safe?


The important thing is to anticipate possible outcomes and impact of nuclear power in India. Western Ghats is ecologically and culturally sensitive. Other places may be densely populated. It is not enough to think about the loss of lives and show our sympathies. It's time to act, to build up pressure on state and policy and to push with all our collective might to pre-empt such disasters.

The Spokesman of the Atomic Energy Commssion stated in a TV interview telecast last night, that EXCEPT FOR KOODANKULAM COMPLEX UNDER COMMISSIONING NEAR KANYAKUMARI, NO OTHER REACTOR IN THE COUNTRY HAS THIS FACILITY OF COLLECTING IN A CONTAINMENT VESSEL, AND ANY DISASTER WOULD LEAD TO AN UNCONTROLLED CHAIN REACTION AND EXPLOSION, SPREADING RADIATION IN A 20 km RADIUS.

 

The alacrity and secretness in which the UPA rushed through the 123 agreemenet with U.S. prompted by former President Bush, reveals that the US was apparently attempting to palm off the 13 year old reactors lying in the godowns of Northrop, Westinghouse and GE due to the ban on further assembly of reactors in U.S., to India, with obsolete technology and controls 13 years old, with all accompanying risks of disasters due to malfunctioning.

 

This is why U.S. introduced the "Hyde Clause" of absolvimng itself of all responsibilities once the plant is loaded on the ships sailing to Indian ports. The Manmohan Singh gang told outright lies to Indian public that Hyde Act is not applicable to India and this was disproved when the 123 details were put on website by U.S. authorities after these were signed at Tokyo.

 

No wonder the Maharashtra Coastal villages are protesting against the location of nuclear reactor apprehending impending dangers of pollution, radiation and inabiliyty of Indian authorities to dispose off the radio active waste material

Exodus from Japan nuclear plant

By Richard BlackEnvironment correspondent, BBC News

The word "meltdown" goes to the heart of the big nuclear question - is
nuclear power safe?

The term is associated in the public mind with the two most notorious
accidents in recent memory - Three Mile Island, in the US, in 1979, and
Chernobyl, in Ukraine, seven years later.

You can think of the core of a Boiling Water Reactor (BWR), such as the ones
at Fukushima Daiichi, as a massive version of the electrical element you may
have in your kettle.

It sits there, immersed in water, getting very hot.

The water cools it, and also carries the heat away - usually as steam - so
it can be used to turn turbines and generate electricity.

If the water stops flowing, there is a problem. The core overheats and more
of the water turns to steam.

The steam generates huge pressures inside the reactor vessel - a big, sealed
container - and if the largely metal core gets too hot, it will just melt,
with some components perhaps catching fire.



In the worst-case scenario, the core melts through the bottom of the reactor
vessel and falls onto the floor of the containment vessel - an outer sealed
unit.

This is designed to prevent the molten reactor from penetrating any further.
Local damage in this case will be serious, but in principle there should be
no leakage of radioactive material into the outside world.

But the term "in principle" is the difficult one.

Reactors are designed to have "multiply redundant" safety features: if one
fails, another should contain the problem.

However, the fact that this does not always work is shown at Fukushima
Daiichi.

The earthquake meant the three functioning reactors shut down. But it also
removed the power that kept the vital water pumps running, sending cooling
water around the hot core.

Diesel generators were installed to provide power in such a situation. They
did cut in - but then they cut out again an hour later, for reasons that
have not yet been revealed.

In this case, redundancy did not work.

And the big fear within the anti-nuclear movement, as used in the film The
China Syndrome, is that the multiple containment of a molten core might not
work either, allowing highly radioactive and toxic metals to burrow into the
ground, with serious and long-lasting environmental impacts - total
meltdown.

However, the counter-argument from nuclear proponents is that the partial
meltdown at Three Mile Island did not cause any serious effects.

Yes, the core melted, but the containment systems held.

And at Chernobyl - a reactor design regarded in the West as inherently
unsafe, and which would not have been sanctioned in any non-Soviet bloc
nation - the environmental impacts occurred through explosive release of
material into the air, not from a melting reactor core.

To keep things in perspective, no nuclear accident has caused anything
approaching the 1,000 short-term fatalities stemming from Friday's
earthquake and tsunami.
'Subcritical' reactors

Whether a partial meltdown is under way at Fukushima Daiichi is not yet
clear.

The most important factor is summed up in a bulletin from the Tokyo Electric
Power Company (Tepco) that owns the facility: "Control rods are fully
inserted (reactor is in subcritical status)."

Control rods shut off the nuclear reaction. Heat continues to be produced at
that stage through the decay of radioactive nuclei - but that process in
turn will begin to tail off.

Intriguingly, Ryohei Shiomi, an official at Japan's Nuclear Safety
Commission, is widely quoted as having said a meltdown was possible and that
officials were checking.

Meanwhile, a visually dramatic explosion in one of the reactor buildings has
at least severely damaged the external walls.

In principle, this should not cause leakage of radioactive material because
the building is just an outside shell; the job of keeping dangerous
materials sealed in falls to the the metal containment vessel inside.

Chief cabinet secretary Chief Yukio Edano confirmed this was the case,
saying: "The concrete building collapsed. We found out that the reactor
container inside didn't explode."

He attributed the explosion to a build-up of hydrogen, related in turn to
the cooling problem.
Under pressure

The only release of any radioactive material that we know about so far
concerns venting of the containment vessel.

When steam pressure builds up in the reactor vessel, it stops some of the
emergency cooling systems working, and so some of the steam is released into
the containment vessel.

However, according to World Nuclear News, an industry newsletter, this
caused pressure in the containment vessel to rise to twice the intended
operating level, so the decision was taken to vent some of this into the
atmosphere.

In principle, this should contain only short-lived radioactive isotopes such
as nitrogen-16 produced through the water's exposure to the core. Venting
this would be likely to produce short-lived gamma-ray activity - which has,
reportedly, been detected.

One factor that has yet to be explained is the apparent detection of
radioactive isotopes of caesium.

This is produced during the nuclear reaction, and should be confined within
the reactor core.

If it has been detected outside the plant, that could imply that the core
has begun to disintegrate.

"If any of the fuel rods have been compromised, there would be evidence of a
small amount of radioisotopes in the atmosphere [such as] radio-caesium and
radio-iodine," says Paddy Regan, professor of nuclear physics at the UK's
University of Surrey.

"The amount that you measure would tell you to what degree the fuel rods
have been compromised."

It is an important question - but as yet, unanswered.
Cover-ups and questions

In fact, the whole incident so far contains more questions than answers.

Parallels with Three Mile Island and Chernobyl suggest that while some
answers will materialise soon, it may takes months, even years, for the full
picture to emerge.

How that happens depends in large part on the approach taken by Tepco and
Japan's nuclear authorities.

As with its counterparts in many other countries, Japan's nuclear industry
has not exactly been renowned for openness and transparency.

Tepco itself has been implicated in a series of cover-ups down the years.

In 2002, the chairman and four other executives resigned, suspected of
having falsified safety records at Tepco power stations.

Further examples of falsification were identified in 2006 and 2007.

In the longer term, Fukushima Daiichi raises several more very big
questions, inside and outside Japan.

Given that this is not the first time a Japanese nuclear station has been
hit by earthquake damage, is it wise to build such stations along the east
coast, given that such a seismically active zone lies just offshore?

And given that Three Mile Island effectively shut down the construction of
civilian nuclear reactors in the US for 30 years, what impact is Fukushima
Daiichi likely to have in an era when many countries, not least the UK, are
looking to re-enter the nuclear industry?

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

The diversity which I find in the local cultures and various
traditions of India fascinates me. Perhaps it is not the diversity
alone which is fascinating but the unifying thread of certain basic
concepts and beliefs which binds them all together.

...In her long history, India has never known regimentation of
thought. Even at the time when her thought touched Elysian heights and
the various systems of Indian philosophy were in the making, the most
interesting feature of Indian thought was its diverse pattern based on
the fullest freedom of thinking and philosophising. What greater proof
can there be of this freedom than that not fewer than half of the six
schools of Indian philosophy may be said to be atheistic in nature and
that, in each of the remaining three which believe in God, the
underlying idea of the Supreme Being is quite different? Nevertheless,
this amazing diversity characterising the intellectual and emotional
levels of the people never seriously underminded their cultural unity
and their beliefs in things and matters important in everyday life.

Re: National Forum | Japan's Nuclear Disaster and Response of Indian "Experts"!
No wonder that Manmohan Singh who has never ever threatened to resign
on issues of mind boggling corruption, had threatened to do so unless
the nuclear deal was cleared. There has been no other issue on which
he has acted so shamelessly as an agent of the USA.

National Forum | The nuclear industry lies all the time - False safety reports
The failure of emergency systems at Japan's nuclear plants comes as no
surprise to those of us who have worked in the field.

Nuclear plants the world over must be certified for what is called
"SQ" or "Seismic Qualification." That is, the owners swear that all
components are designed for the maximum conceivable shaking event, be
it from an earthquake or an exploding Christmas card from al-Qaeda.

The most inexpensive way to meet your SQ is to lie. The industry does
it all the time. The government team I worked with caught them once,
in 1988, at the Shoreham plant in New York. Correcting the SQ problem
at Shoreham would have cost a cool billion, so engineers were told to
change the tests from "failed" to "passed."

The company that put in the false safety report? Stone & Webster, now
the nuclear unit of Shaw Construction, which will work with TEPCO to
build the Texas plant. Lord help us.

There's more.
