Former TEPCO exec denies delaying anti-tsunami steps before nuclear crisis – Japan Today

“I had no intention to buy time and I’m offended by the claim that I put off taking measures,” said Muto, who is charged with professional negligence resulting in deaths and injuries in connection with one of the world’s worst nuclear crises.

Along with Muto, another former vice president Ichiro Takekuro, 72, and former chairman Tsunehisa Katsumata, 78, were also indicted in 2016 for allegedly failing to take measures to prevent the disaster.

The indictment of the three was mandated in 2015 by an independent panel of citizens after prosecutors decided against laying charges.

Of course, he will deny knowledge of stone markers set up all over the coast of Japan, marking the high water point of previous tsunamis.

And he will also…

Popular Science Article – Deconstructing a Pro-Nuke PR Campaign

ITEM: Horse-sh-t from Popular Science –
Fukushima: Five Years Later –
Japan is still cleaning up one of the world’s worst nuclear disasters. Here’s how far it has come—and how far it has yet to go.

Why Popular Science magazine promotes nukes – Our New INFO-GRAPHIC:

Popular Science just did a puff piece on TEPCO’s post disaster actions at Fukushima including the lie that they have cleaned anything up.

Let’s look at why they would approach 3 or 4 meltdowns raging out of control for 5 years with no end in site as a contained non-event.
The author seems to be a regular writer (not a PR guy from the nuke industry).
So … hmmmm … who owns Popular Science?

… why it’s run by Sweden’s big media monopoly, Bonnier AB.

That’s in Sweden … the little place with no local fuel source and so in love with nuclear energy it has 10 nuke plants!

4 years after that slip up at Fukushima Japan has cleaned up the messy TEPCO nuclear power plant and MOX fuel candy factory.

How did they do it?

Caught on Camera: Fukushima Mayhem Last Night

Lots of bright flashing, the usual billowing black smoke joined by white smoke or steam in the rain last night. Then a light show of great porportions.

Fukushima Stack Appears to be Listing

Looking at the LIVE CAM at Fukushima it appears the big stack is tilting to the right.

To check we did a screen grab and put grid marks on the image using Paint.

Red box is computer-squared so it has no error in straightness. The up and down line on the right half of the image is next to a tall wall to demonstrate if the camera is tilted or not. The camera does not seem to be askew. The blow-up image is at the bottom – click on it for full size.

Fukushima Mimics the Brown’s Ferry Nuke Meltdown Computer Simulation

From Leuren Moret –

MELTDOWNS AND RAD RELEASES PRIOR TO TSUNAMI

1981 SIMULATED MELTDOWN: Foreshadowing Fukushima, a simulated meltdown at a nuclear power station was published by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (U.S. Department of Energy) in 1981 for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission: “Station Blackout at Browns Ferry Unit One – Accident Sequence Analysis.”  This report provided a timeline for Ms. Moret to predict, track, and monitor the timing and sequence of parallel developments at the Fukushima disaster as it was happening. Some months later, after months of denials, lies, and disinformation, TEPCO released a power point presentation that affirmed the accuracy of the Browns Ferry simulation, and confirmed timing and sequence of events at Fukushima.
