Fukushima JP update 10/22/11 (Arnie Gundersen: Nuclear Reactors Design Flaws to NRC)
Post Fukushima: All the King’s Horses and All the King’s Men… fairewinds.com Fairewinds’ Chief Engineer Arnie Gundersen testifies to the NRC Petition Review Board detailing why the 23 BWR Mark 1 nuclear power plants should be shut down following the accidents at Fukushima. True wisdom means knowing when to modify something and knowing when to stop. Sometimes, all the King’s horses and all the King’s men should not try to put Humpty Dumpty together again.

The power/lock button on my Apple iPhone 4 is not broken and I cannot power the device on or off. I’ve tried synching it too but it won’t wake up. The button feel flimsy, as if the spring action below the button malfunctioned. I’m going to cross my fingers and carry it to the local AT&T store. I’m afraid that they’re going to try to sell me a new phone though. If you’ve encountered the same issue and know how to repair iPhone 4 buttons, please let me know. Thanks!
Safety Problems in Reactors Designed Like Fukushima
Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster update. Fairewinds Introduces a Japanese Language Edition and Identifies Safety Problems in all Reactors Designed Like Fukushima September 19, 2011 Gundersen expresses concerns that the nuclear industry and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission are not addressing major safety issues that have become evident since Fukushima. These issues include serious design flaws in the BWR Mark 1 containment, fundamental flaws in the Boiling Water Reactor vessel design, and problems with detonation shockwaves. The NRC and the nuclear industry are using a flawed cost benefit computer code that underestimates the value of human life and minimize property damages after an accident, which has the effect of justifying continued operation of reactors without safety modifications. Also, Fairewinds announces the launch of the Japanese language version of its site, fairewinds.jp. Edition: www.youtube.com fairewinds.com http vimeo.com
