Earthquake, Iran, Nuclear

Thirty people have been killed after a 6.3 magnitude earthquake struck near Bushehr in Iran. Around 800 people have been injured, according to the Iranian Students' News Agency. The area is home to the Bushehr nuclear power plant."Up until now the earthquake has left behind 30 dead and 800 injured," said Fereydoun Hassanvand, the governor of Bushehr province, according to ISNA.
The quake has been given "orange alert level" by the US Geological Survey (USGS). An orange alert means that significant casualties are likely and the disaster is potentially widespread. The earthquake's epicenter was 89 kilometers (55 miles) away from the plant, just outside the town of Kaki. There are currently no reports available from the town.The depth of the quake was 10 km (6.2miles). It was followed by several aftershocks, which measured between 4.8 and 6.1."We could clearly feel the earthquake," a local resident told Reuters. "The windows and chandeliers all shook."The villages of Shanbe and Sana have been heavily damaged, a Red Cross official told Reuters. Reports on Twitter say that 23 villages have been affected in total.
The Bushehr nuclear plant, which is located just 11 miles southeast of the city, remains unaffected.

"The earthquake in no way affected the normal situation at the reactor, personnel continue to work in the normal regime and radiation levels are fully within the norm," an official with Atomstroyexport, the Russian company which built the facility, told RIA Novosti.The Governor of Bushehr, Fereydoun Hassanvand, has also confirmed that the plant is undamaged.People on social media reported feeling the quake in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. There were no immediate reports of damages.Gulf Arab countries and Western experts have voiced concerns about the Bushehr plant, which is built in a heily seismic area. Iran has repeatedly denied allegations that it could be unsafe.The UN's International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said during a 2012 visit to the facility that it was indeed safe."I, as the head of the [inspection] team, assure the Iranian society that Iran's installations are safe," Head of the IAEA's Nuclear Safety and Security Department, Olena Mykolaichuk, said in a statement.Bushehr, which is home to around 160,000 people, is located on Iran's southwestern coastal region. The head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran said in December another plant is slated for construction next to the Bushehr plant.Iran extends across several major faults in the earth's crust, and is prone to frequent earthquakes. In August 2012, two quakes in Northwestern Iran claimed the lives of 306 people and injured more than 4,500 others.

Nuclear tensions

Earlier Tuesday, Iranian state TV announced that the country has begun operations at two uranium extraction mines and a new uranium production facility.The announcement comes amidst a heated international row surrounding Tehran's nuclear intentions.The US and its allies claim that Iran is using the program as a cover to secretly build a nuclear weapon. Tehran denies the allegations, stating that its nuclear endeavors are for purely civilian purposes. The Islamic Republic says its nuclear program is necessary to produce energy, as well as isotopes for research and medical devices. 

North Korea to fire ballistic missile to Pacific. Iran unveils new uranium-processing facilities

North Korean soldiers out with trained dogs

Korean tensions again shot up Tuesday, April 9, with Pyongyang’s warning of a ballistic missile firing Wednesday, April 10 toward the Pacific and advice to foreigners in the South to evacuate: “We do not wish harm on foreigners in the South should there be a war,” said the statement. Last week, foreign embassies were informed that North Korea would not guarantee the safety of their staffs after April 10. Japan has deployed Patriot missile interceptors around its defense ministry headquarters in Tokyo and other key facilities including Okinawa, in the wake of North Korea’s move last week of two intermediate- missiles to its eastern coast, placing Japan, South Korea and the US bases at Guam within range.In Tehran, meanwhile, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad unveiled Tuesday two additional uranium-processing facilities at Ardakan in the central province of Yazd. This was announced with the official disclosure by Iranian state TV of uranium mines operating in the town of Saghand, 120 kilometers from Ardakan, which are reported to have an estimated output of 60 tons of yellowcake for use in the uranium enrichment process. In case this show of defiance was lost on the West, Tehran is now threatening to follow in the footsteps of its North Korean partner and withdraw from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty in the wake of the failure of the latest negotiations between the Islamic regime and world powers (April 5-6) in Kazakhstan.The meeting broke up without a date for resumption after Tehran refused outright to curb its enrichment program in exchange of the partial easing of sanctions, demanding that world powers acknowledge the Islamic Republic’s right to enrich uranium under the terms of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).To underline this refusal, Alaeddin Boroujerdi, chairman of the Iranian parliament’s Committee for Foreign Policy and National Security, came out with this argument: There is no reason for Iran to be in compliance with the NPT and IAEA regulations when the United States and European countries “disregard its articles such as article 6 [mandating the reduction of nuclear weapons] and article 4 [Iran’s nuclear rights].” Speaking to the Fars News Agency (run by the Revolutionary Guards), Boroujerdi concluded: “Therefore, there is no reason for Iran to remain a NPT member…”Its exit would mean that the nuclear watchdog  would no longer have monitoring access to Iran’s known nuclear sites and like North Korea, which expelled the inspectors, could carry on enriching uranium and developing its nuclear weapons program without international oversight. These steps, along with Pyongyang’s restart of its nuclear facilities at Yongbyon last week, will give the nuclear collaboration with Iran and North Korea a further boost. However, neither Washington or Jerusalem appear to show any inclination to rein in either North Korea,  Iran or the dangerous ties between them. In Jerusalem, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said on Sunday that world powers would pursue further talks with Iran to resolve their nuclear dispute, but stressed  that the process could not go on forever – which is exactly what President Barack Obama said a year ago.

Snow blizzards: 8,000 dead sheep removed from NI farms

The Department of Agriculture has agreed an aid packaged for farmers

The carcasses of more than 8,000 sheep that died in snow blizzards last month have been collected from NI farms.Agriculture Michelle Michelle O'Neill told the assembly of the consequences of the weather on farmers.She said farmers' losses were "greater than anticipated", adding that 8,153 dead sheep and 240 cattle had been collected from 440 farms.The executive has agreed a £5m aid package to help those who lost livestock.Mrs O'Neill said the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development would pay for the collection and disposal of animals that had died in the snow.Any farmer who has suffered livestock losses as a result of the weather may be eligible for the scheme, which began on the 2 April and will remain in place until at least 19 April.The minister said this would deadline would be reviewed.Agriculture committee chairman Paul Frew, DUP, said the weather had been a "very tragic crisis to the faming community".

Michelle O'Neill Agriculture Minister

He said the minister had been "too slow to act" and had withdrawn a RAF Chinook helicopter providing aid too early.This criticism was reiterated by the Alliance Party's Kieran McCarthy.Mrs O'Neill said: "I don't agree with the assertion that there was a slow start."There was a humanitarian issue that had to be dealt with. Surely you are not saying that people should not be dealt with first, surely you are not saying that the priority should not have been getting water, medical supplies and food to people?"RAF Chinook and Irish Air Corps helicopters made 46 air drops of emergency food supplies to farms in upper areas of counties Antrim and Down.TUV leader Jim Allister said the hardship funding was a "token contribution that will come nowhere near the need" and questioned why additional money was not being made available for restocking and restoring infrastructure on farms.The minister said the money available would be up to the maximum allowed under the European Union State Aid of 7,500 euros per farmer, including the collection and disposal of animals.Mrs O'Neill said she was working under "verifiable laws on livestock" and acknowledged the scheme would not fully compensate farmers' losses.

Fukushima nuclear plant: radioactive water 'leak'

Leaks have been found at two other reservoirs at the plant

A fresh suspected leak of radioactive water has been detected at Japan's tsunami-hit Fukushima nuclear plant, its operator says.The contaminated water may have leaked into the ground from one of the plant's storage tanks, Tokyo Electric Power (Tepco) said.The nuclear plant has suffered two power failures in the past month.Separately, the International Atomic Energy Agency said it would visit the plant to conduct a review.If confirmed, the leak at the underground storage pool would be the third leak discovered at the plant since Saturday.The underground tanks store radioactive water that have been used in the plant's cooling systems.'Tremendous worry' The suspected leak was detected at the plant's number one pool, the destination for contaminated water from the number two pool, which was also leaking. The transfer has now been stopped."We understand that we have caused tremendous worry to the people of Fukushima and the wider public and we apologise for that," Tepco spokesman Masayuki Ono told reporters.Tepco said that while water may have leaked into the ground, it did not believe the water had reached the sea.It was "currently investigating the cause and countermeasures", said the company in a statement.Meanwhile, the IAEA said it would send a team of experts to the site of the Fukushima Daiichi power plant from 15 to 22 April to review the government's decommissioning plans for the plant.The visit had been requested by the Japanese government, the IAEA added.In the past month, Fukushima nuclear plant has experienced two power outages that shut down some of its cooling systems for spent fuel ponds.On 11 March 2011, an earthquake and tsunami crippled the plant. Waves knocked out cooling systems for the reactors, leading to meltdowns at three of them.Engineers have since stabilised the plant but years of work lie ahead to fully contain the disaster and tackle its effects.

Deadly Levels of Radiation Found in Food 225 Miles from Fukushima: Media Blackout on Nuclear Fallout Continues

Ethan A. Huff Natural News April 8, 2013
New data released by Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare (MHLW) shows once again that the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster is far from over. Despite a complete media blackout on the current situation, levels of Cesium-137 (Cs-137) and Cesium-134 (Cs-134) found in produce and rice crackers located roughly 225 miles away from Fukushima are high enough to cause residents to exceed the annual radiation exposure limit in just a few months, or even weeks.According to Fukushima-Diary.com, which posts up-to-date information about the Fukushima disaster, rice crackers and tangerines produced in the Shizuoka prefecture are testing high for both Cs-137 and Cs-134. Rice crackers, according to the data sheet, tested at 3.7 Becquerels per kilogram (Bq/Kg) of Cs-137, while tangerines tested at 1.46 Bq/Kg of Cs-134 and 3.14 Bq/Kg of Cs-137.The Shizuoka prefecture is located about 80 miles southwest of Tokyo, which is highly concerning as it is actually farther away from Fukushima than Tokyo. This suggest that potentially deadly levels of radiation are still affecting large population centers across Japan, including those that are not even in close proximity to the Fukushima plant.It is generally regarded that adult radiation workers should be exposed to no more than 50 millisieverts (mSv) of radiation per year in order to avoid serious health consequences. For children, this number is far lower, probably somewhere around 10 mSv, with this being on the high end. But the average adult and child eating these tainted foods at their current radiation levels will not only reach but exceed the safe maximum in just a few weeks.
Radiation levels continue to increase in lakes, rivers north of Tokyo
But food, of course, is not the only major source of radiation exposure in Japan. Other data also released by Fukushima-Diary.com shows that radiation levels in rivers, lakes and shorelines around Kashiwa City in Chiba, located about 20 miles northeast of Tokyo, are dangerously high and getting even higher.Since radiation levels were last tested in the Otsu River back in September, detected levels have nearly tripled, jumping from 5,700 Bq/Kg to 14,200 Bq/Kg of radiation. Similar jumps were observed in lakes and shore soils, the former increasing from 7,600 Bq/Kg to 8,200 Bq/Kg of radiation, and the latter increasing from 440 Bq/Kg to 780 Bq/Kg of radiation.Any increase in disease or death resulting from these continued radiation spikes, however, will more than likely be blamed on other causes besides radiation, so as to cover up the severity of the situation. The radiation component of radiation-induced heart disease, organ failure, and cancer, for instance, will simply be ignored, and any uptick in deaths, particularly among the elderly, declared normal.Meanwhile, a recent Rasmussen Report found that more than one-third of all Americans believe radiation from Fukushima caused “significant harm” in the U.S. This is likely due to the fact that high levels of radiation were observed in soil, water, and even food all across America in the wake of the disaster.
