One dead, 22 hurt as glue factory blows. YAMAGUCHI – One person was killed and 22 others were injured early Sunday as explosions ripped through a glue factory in Waki, Yamaguchi Prefecture, setting the plant ablaze, police said.

The explosions also damaged about 400 houses around the plant, mostly by shattering windows, before the fire was extinguished at 5:15 p.m. There was no confirmation that toxic fumes were produced by the blaze. The plant, run by Mitsui Chemicals Inc., was attempting to suspend operations because of technical problems when explosions started breaking out around 2:15 a.m., killing 22-year-old employee Shota Sunakawa, police said. The accident also injured 11 other workers employed by Mitsui Chemicals or its affiliates, as well as 11 people outside the plant who were hit by flying glass. The police said they plan to search the plant, which makes glue for wood and tires, on suspicion of professional negligence resulting in death and injuries.

Fukushima lays bare Japanese media's ties to top

No, says independent journalist Shigeo Abe, who claims the authorities, and many journalists, have done a poor job of informing people about nuclear power in Japan both before and during the crisis — and that the clean-up costs are now being massively underestimated and underreported. “The government says that as long as the radioactive leak can be dammed from the sides it can be stopped, but that’s wrong,” Abe insists. “They’re going to have to build a huge trench underneath the plant to contain the radiation — a giant diaper. That is a huge-scale construction and will cost a fortune. The government knows that but won’t reveal it.” TEPCO Believes Mission Accomplished & Regulators Allow Radioactive Dumping in Tokyo Bay.

What Nuclear Reactor Damage Means for the Japanese Economy. In my book, Stratfor’s George Friedman is THE best at geopolitical analysis – he always pieces together the global picture masterfully.

Here’s his take on the emerging energy crisis in Japan, which we are fortunate enough to republish here… Japan, the Persian Gulf and Energy By George Friedman, Founder of Stratfor Over the past week, everything seemed to converge on energy. The unrest in the Persian Gulf raised the specter of the disruption of oil supplies to the rest of the world, and an earthquake in Japan knocked out a string of nuclear reactors with potentially devastating effect. Japan is the world’s third-largest economy, a bit behind China now. The Geography of Oil There are multiple sources for many of the metals Japan imports, so that if supplies stop flowing from one place it can get them from other places.

This past week, we saw that this was a potentially vulnerable source. For Japan it could mean more than higher prices. Great East Japan Earthquake (Details) As of September 15, support teams from one country are operating in Japan.

Japan has received relief supplies from countries/regions and international organizations as shown in the list below. Japan has received, so far, offers of assistance from the following 163 countries and regions, and 43 international organizations (in alphabetical order). (Asia) NHK manipulates the report of JP PM Noda’s press conference. Posted by Mochizuki on December 22nd, 2011 · 6 Comments The video is perfectly organized. 12/16/2011 ,JP PM Noda declared cold shutdown for some reason.

NHK manipulates the report of JP PM Noda’s press conference

At the press conference ,they arranged set-up questions of corrupted reporters and NHK only reported that part. Just after NHK stopped reporting it ,a free journalist Jinbo Tetsuo asked the PM. “Now that fuel is out of the container vessels ,how can you declare cold shutdown ?” JP PM Noda answered ,because the temperature of entire vessels is stably under 100C ,which is a lie actually ,and he did not leave any comment about the melting-earth fuel ,which is the biggest matter. This most important question was successfully ignored. 3/30から5/5まで、おれ氏はキプロスを調査しておりもす。調査費は自腹で、見積もりを出す以前にキプロスに飛び込んでしまいましたが、未開の地を開拓するサソタ・オレオ号にみなさんのオレオを投資して頂けると嬉しいです。現在の総オレオ/目標オレオ：76/222.5 Fukushima Diary can accept donation directly at bank.Le Fukushima Diary peut recevoir des dons directement à sa banque.Fukushima Diaryは銀行口座でも直接寄付を受けられます。

(TEPCO). He died early morning on Thursday at the hospital, TEPCO spokesman Chie Hosoda said, adding that the cause of his death was being investigated. "He had been exposed to a small amount of radiation. 404 Page. The cooling tower for the never finished Reactor 5.

Japan raises nuclear crisis severity to highest level.

Japan utility sticks to timeline for ending nuclear crisis. TEPCO share prices take a hit Tokyo Electric Power Co. first announced the timetable for ending the crisis in mid-AprilThree reactors at plant overheated after the March 11 earthquake and tsunamiThe company says it will have to change strategies in cooling the No. 1 reactor Tokyo (CNN) -- Worse-than-expected damage in one reactor is forcing a change of plans at Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, but its owners say they still expect to end the 2-month-old crisis by January.

The Tokyo Electric Power Co. said it will have to change its plans for cooling reactor No. 1 after determining the unit's fuel rods melted almost completely in the early hours of the disaster and that the pressure vessel at the heart of the reactor may be leaking. Radioactive Releases at Fukushima Could Last Months. Fukushima: It's much worse than you think - Features. "Fukushima is the biggest industrial catastrophe in the history of mankind," Arnold Gundersen, a former nuclear industry senior vice president, told Al Jazeera.

Fukushima: It's much worse than you think - Features

Japan's 9.0 earthquake on March 11 caused a massive tsunami that crippled the cooling systems at the Tokyo Electric Power Company's (TEPCO) nuclear plant in Fukushima, Japan. It also led to hydrogen explosions and reactor meltdowns that forced evacuations of those living within a 20km radius of the plant. Gundersen, a licensed reactor operator with 39 years of nuclear power engineering experience, managing and coordinating projects at 70 nuclear power plants around the US, says the Fukushima nuclear plant likely has more exposed reactor cores than commonly believed. "The problem is how to keep it cool," says Gundersen.
