It is a crisis that transcends geography and time. We traced the roots of this crisis back 60-years to the fishing boat Daigo Fukuryumaru, or #5 Lucky Dragon, and American efforts to force nuclear power upon the Japanese people. Sûreté nucléaire en France : des incidents « persistants » Chernobyl trees and leaves barely decomposed, study finds. Almost 30 years ago, the world's attention was fixed on Chernobyl, the nuclear power plant in Ukraine that exploded in one of the world's worst nuclear disasters.
The world has moved on since that 1986 catastrophe, but at Chernobyl, one thing hasn't changed very much: The dead trees, plants and leaves at the contaminated site don't decay at nearly the same rate as plants elsewhere, researchers have found. "We were stepping over all these dead trees on the ground that had been killed by the initial blast," Tim Mousseau, a professor of biology at the University of South Carolina, said in a statement.
"Years later, these tree trunks were in pretty good shape. If a tree had fallen in my backyard, it would be sawdust in 10 years or so. " [Images: Chernobyl, Frozen in Time] Mousseau and Anders Møller of the Université Paris-Sud have made ongoing investigations into the biology of radioactive areas like Chernobyl and Fukushima, Japan.

Examination of a soil sample from Kilby Provincial Park, near Agassiz [approx. 100 km east of Vancouver coast], has for the first time in this province found Cesium 134, further evidence of Fukushima radioactivity being transported to Canada by air and water.

J-P. Petit : « Les déchets nucléaires, bombe à retardement planétaire » (Partie 1) - Dernières infos - Société. La Voix de la Russie : Jean-Pierre Petit, vous avez accordé deux interviews à La Voix de la Russie qui ont soulevé un grand intérêt chez nos lecteurs, et également une foule de questions.
Il y avait évidemment des gens qui vous connaissaient déjà, ainsi que votre passé de scientifique chevronné, et qui ont exprimé leur satisfaction de vous voir vous exprimer dans nos colonnes. Vous les avez mis en appétit en développant des idées bouleversantes, concernant les voyages interstellaires. Mais vous nous dites qu’il y a, selon vous, un sujet d’une actualité brûlante. J-P.

Où en est-on ? JP Petit : Les opposants français ne sont qu’une poignée, autour du courageux Michel Guéritte. Le pouvoir nucléaire achète les municipalités locales et l’argent coule à flot. Les opposants ayant des compétences techniques sont réduits au silence par des pressions. Pour être libre il faut être ... retraité, sinon toutes les formes de pressions sont possibles.

News - How France is disposing of its nuclear waste. 4 March 2014Last updated at 09:11 ET By Rob Broomby British Affairs Correspondent, BBC World Service The underground lab at Bure could be the final resting place for most of France's highly radioactive waste Half a kilometre below ground in the Champagne-Ardenne region of eastern France, near the village of Bure, a network of tunnels and galleries is being hacked out of the 160 million-year-old compacted clay rocks.
The dusty subterranean science laboratory built by the French nuclear waste agency Andra is designed to find out whether this could be the final resting place for most of France's highly radioactive waste, the deadly remains of more than half a century of nuclear energy. Emerging from the industrial lift there are a series of passageways about the size of an underground rail tunnel. The walls are reinforced with steel ribs and sprayed with grey concrete and there are huge bore holes drilled 100m into the rock walls which would hold the capsules of radioactive waste.
