That 1 death at Fukushima .. he died from a cancer, and everyone assumed it was caused by radiation. But the kind of cancer he had takes 10 years to develop. He had had it for 9 years before Fukushima.

'neuralwarp claimed: '...1 death at Fukushima...he died from a cancer...the kind of cancer...takes...10 years to develop. He had had it for 9 years before Fukushima.' Based on what, who, where, when, made that claim? Did you check? Simply because, the nuclear state of energy, waste and weapons of mass destruction, very core culture is based on secrecy. The nuclear state, is an integral part of the military industrial complex. While, run by the 🇺🇳UN Security Council P5 nuclear nations. 🇺🇳 The United Nations Chain of Command 🇺🇳 The United Nations Security Council Permanent ✳️ - Five Nuclear Nations. 🇨🇳 China 🇫🇷 France 🇷🇺 Russia 🇬🇧 The United Kingdom 🇺🇸 The United States of America ✅ 🇺🇳 United Nations Security Council Permanent Five; ✅ 🇺🇳 UN SC SUBORDINATES: ✅ 🇺🇳 UN Scientific Committee on the Effects ✳️ - of Atomic Radiation - UNSCEAR ✅ 🇺🇳 UN World Health Organization - WHO Nothing the WHO publish, is not vetted by, UNSCEAR, subordinate, to the 🇺🇳UN SC P5, yet there is independent conflicting evidence, why? Is anyone naive enough to believe, the whole nuclear fuel cycle, is safe, when there is conflicting evidence? Given, the chain of commands, ability to shut down any press query, with keystrokes, handed off in nanoseconds. Does the reader understand quantum physics, able to grasp the latent effect on all human DNA, of radionucldes? Plutonium Pu-239 particles, aggregate in the testes, if a potential father survives, this is passed on to the next generation of males, ad infinitum. Just one example of the latent effect of a radionuclide in close proximity to a living cell, after injestion. Pu-239 has a half-life of 24,100 years, gene shearing X 8 times that period, until it transmutes into, the next series of gene shearing particles. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ______________ 🇺🇳 www.unscear.org/ www.transparency.org/en/cpi/2020/index/nzl #dunningkrugereffect

4:50 the one death due to radiation is based on the legalistic "if not but for" principle rather than a scientifically reproducible cause. This is the same logic that makes a stubbed toe judged to be the cause for a person losing a leg.

For those who want more details about Fukushima, I recommend the video made by the Plainly Difficult channel: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mx5aJGUXCCk.html Some corrections and interesting additions to what Sean presented in the video above: * Fukushia Daiichi used boiling water reactors, not pressurized water reactors. * The reactor design was American, specifically from General Electrics, GE. The first three reactors were built by GE, while the last three were built by Hitachi and Toshiba respectively, but according to GE's design. * There doesn't seem to be anything physically wrong with the design, except the low placement of the backup power systems which allowed them to be flooded. * If a SCRAM had not been triggered when the earthquake hit, the reactors would almost certainly have continued to operate normally, and been able to use their own power to cool themselves, and we wouldn't even be speaking about this today.

Where did you get your information on the type of reactors operating at Fukushima? All accounts that i have read state BWR reactors were in use. They supersets at about half the pressure of a PWR. Vents from the Tarus were installed in the early 90's as part of an upgrade to the Mark 1 BWR design.

Had the inside engineers been allowed to vent the Tarus, as the vents were intended to do, it is highly unlikely the hydrogen explosion would have occurred. Poor decision making and trying to save face, considerably worsened the natural disaster.

The area that was evacuated at Fukushima was more than habitable not long after the disaster, if it hadn't always been. The main reasoning behind vacating the area and keep it mostly vacated is based on the LNT model, which most experts now agree operates with a flawed logic in regards to how the body deals with low-dose radiation exposure. There's nothing really to indicate allowing the residents to return to their homes (if they desired it) early on would have posed a major health risk for them.

Re-evaluation of power provision in Germany shows that renewables with energy storage is cheaper than nuclear. Nuclear that has terrible longterm legacy problems with nuclear waste (i.e, 350, 000 tonnnes of high level nuclear waste World-wide ). At Fukushima Dai'chi, had power been produced using wind turbines, there would have no terrible nuclear contamination. Now Fukushima prefecture is permanently contaminated with radioactive hot particles. Nuclear plants are being retired and decommissioned at a faster rate than new build of nuclear reactors. Nuclear is thus a sunset industry.
@RockLogicWithSeanKenny
@RockLogicWithSeanKenny 3 года назад
Fukushima Dai'chi had a name plate capacity factor of 5.3GW with an average capacity factor between 85-90%. To generate the same level of power with what you are suggesting would require 1786 3 mw wind turbines spread out over a large area. Sure you could go off shore which is more expensive, but if your lucky you might be averaging a capacity factor of 25% - 30%. The rest has to come from something else so if you are proposing a storage solution that also raises the cost. If you are concerned about spent nuclear fuel, what is the issue with using reactors that can run on said waste as fuel? You kill two birds with one stone. You are right that we are retiring more reactors than we are putting online, but that is because the regulations in place favor dated technology that doesn't come close to operating at the efficiency that an MSR does. It's not a sunset industry. Over $1.3 billion in venture funding has gone towards nuclear start ups in the last decade.

Japan Debt to GDP peaked in the 1990. Since the 90's the trend is down. Fukushima sent this ratio further down to 2016 low. In the last 5 years it's rising, but far and below the peak. If debt:GDP ratio will fail, thanks to Fukushima, Japan will escape the debt trap and Japan sooner or later will rejuvenate.

@@michaelengel3045 more correct answer is: one that you can cheaply manage debt itself is basically just additional money that you have at your disposal - which is a good thing, as you can invest it and make intrest out of it. its the repayments that hurt but for as long as interest > repayments being in debt is simply beneficial. and it's not even that hard - healthy economies can borrow money on crazy low interest. even negative interest (which means they giving back less money than they burrowed) sometimes can happen.

Since 1990 (debt : GDP) is down. Since 2009 (debt : GDP) for the rest, ex UK, is trending up. Japan did't care. Their ratio was down, thanks to Fukushima, until 2016.

@@RockLogicWithSeanKenny I have listened to the presentation from Elysium Industries that describes a theoretical design that has not been built in practice.

How can a smart person be pro nuclear when it is the only industrial/energy producing activity that is capable to destroy an entire country in a SINGLE ACCIDENT?
@RockLogicWithSeanKenny
@RockLogicWithSeanKenny 3 года назад
Well first off I don't agree with this premise. For starters the Fukushima plant didn't destroy the country the Tsunami did. Aside from one death which is arguable as to what the cause was no one else died as a cause of the resulting accident at the plant. Why I am pro nuclear? Simple it causes the least amount of harm to the environment and to the population relative to the energy it produces(which is a lot). Especially when compared to other forms of energy production. The coal industry globally kills 10,000 per year. Throughout the entire history of nuclear power only 54 people have been reported to have died as a result of a nuclear accident. Most of them were a direct result of Chernobyl. Solar and wind are too diffuse to be considered challengers in this space. When you are comparing an energy source that has a million times the energy density of a carbon hydrogen bond nothing else comes close to performing under todays LWR's. The advanced ones will do even better once they are built because they have the ability to take advantage of economies of scale while operating under even safer conditions.

Btw fun fact is that they dont even calculate the cost of final disposal of nuclear waste in the price per kilowatt. Needless to say they dont have a solution how to get rid of it. And no one knows how bad it is for our health or our children long term. Edit. If one plant is capable to destroy an entire country than why would you have it. Dissasters will happen. They always do. Nothing is 100% bulletproof. The price of failure in case of npps is just unacceptable period. Hell of a way to boil water.
