  1. Es jährt sich heuer eine Katastrophe ungeahnten Ausmaßes, die bis heute nachhallt. Und es auch noch kommende Jahrhunderte wird. Wer heute immer noch glaubt, Menschen könnten diese Kraft beherrschen, dem empfehle ich eine der für mich besten und eindringlichsten Serien aller Zeiten

  2. #Fukushima: A #Nuclear Nightmare’ Review: An Emotional Choice

    This documentary offers a rundown of the 2011 nuclear meltdown with special attention to the shift workers who risked their lives while trying to stabilize the plant.

    March 10, 2026

    " 'We were told Japan would cease to exist if we failed.' On #March11, 2011, a 8.9-magnitude #earthquake and a #tsunami struck the northeast coast of #Japan, precipitating a series of hydrogen explosions at the #FukushimaDaiichi nuclear plant.

    "The new HBO documentary 'Fukushima: A Nuclear Nightmare,' directed by James Jones ('#Chernobyl: The Lost Tapes'), offers a tense rundown of the aftermath by pairing archival footage with testimonies from the people who witnessed the events firsthand.

    "In the days following the earthquake and tsunami, workers at the plant hurried to contain what they knew could become a #NuclearCatastrophe. Using diagrams, the documentary strives to convey the dangers on an elementary-school level: Without electricity, the reactors’ cooling systems failed, causing the fuel rods to melt and spew radioactive material. The schematics are paired with a tense score and sinister-looking footage of fiery explosions.

    "In an emotional interview, an engineer named #IkuoIzawa recalls remaining on-site while the majority of the plant’s crew was evacuated. Knowing that he might not survive, he sent an email to his family members, imploring them to look after one another. Izawa became part of the #Fukushima50: the everyday shift workers who risked their lives for the welfare of Japan. Although chiefly a straightforward — and at points repetitive — synopsis of the events, 'Fukushima: A Nuclear Nightmare' distinguishes itself in its devotion to elevating these men as heroes."

  3. From 2013: Ten Most #Radioactive Places on Earth Mapped Out [GRAPHIC]

    "Do you know the dirty side of the #NuclearIndustry? After researching this article by brainz.org, we were shocked to find out how truly awful our radioactive waste problem is and how it is going to be hurting us all, for a long time to come. Please take the time to read the links below, share this with your friends, and discuss solutions to these problems. ~ Jim Lee, #ClimateViewer News

    "This list is not a definitive TOP TEN, it is simply ten very disgusting examples of nuclear warfare against the citizens of this world."

  4. #InTheNews - #Radiation eating fungus. Savior or #NuclearIndustry PR? I've always been fascinated by the #RadiotrophicFungus. But is it truly performing #Radiosynthesis? What is the "chemical byproduct"? Also, I do remember reading about #FukushimaBlackMold and #SpaceFungus on the #ISS. Hmmmm....

    Species in #Chernobyl disaster zone is mutating to feed on nuclear radiation

    By CHRIS MELORE, US ASSISTANT SCIENCE EDITOR, 1 December 2025

    "Nearly 40 years after the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in Ukraine, scientists have discovered a form of life that's thriving on the radiation that's been left behind.

    A strange black fungus called #CladosporiumSphaerospermum, found growing on abandoned reactor walls, hasn't just learned to survive the deadly fallout, but several strains now grow faster when radiation is present and even move towards it."
