40 Jahre Tschernobyl - auch Gefahren aus der Schweiz, deshalb: "Atomenergie abschalten!"- fordert Dr. Schmid von der IPPNW.
Aktuell stecken in Stuttgart Grüne und CDU in Koalitionsverhandlungen. In einem Brief an Cem Özdemir von den Grünen und Manuel Hagel von der CDU sowie deren Verhandlungsteams weist die Organisation „Internationale Ärzt*innen für die Verhütung des Atomkrieges“, kurz IPPNW, auf die drohenden Atomgefahren aus der Schweiz für Baden-Württemberg hin.
Die IPPNW fordert, auch anlässlich des 40. Jahrestages der Atomkatastrophe von Tschernobyl, von der künftigen Landesregierung, sich gegenüber der Schweiz und der Bundesregierung für ein baldiges Ende der Schweizer Atomanlagen einzusetzen.
Über den Brief der IPPNW an die (künftige) @RegierungBW in Stuttgart, die atomaren Risiken und was diese mit politischer Verantwortung zu tun haben, sprach ich heute für @RDL mit Dr. Jörg Schmid von den IPPNW.

#Fukushima at 15: The Fallout Continues
Officials claim Japan’s worst-ever #NuclearDisaster is dealt with. Try telling that to the people.Thomas A. Bass, March 9, 2026
"Cesium-laden microparticles from Fukushima have been found in air filters across Japan. As one drives the highways in Fukushima, some of the large green road signs that would usually indicate towns and turnoffs have been replaced by panels displaying radiation levels, given in microsieverts per hour. (A microsievert measures the biological effect of ionizing radiation on human tissue.) These readings can spike to dangerous levels depending on which way the wind is blowing. The radioactive material blown out of the destroyed reactors made Fukushima’s forests, which cover three-quarters of the nuclear exclusion zone, unsafe to enter. The wild boars that used to be hunted here, as well as the plants and mushrooms that used to be foraged for food, are too radioactive to eat."
[...]
"A town in Fukushima, such as Iitate, might be considered decontaminated when as little as 15 percent of the radioactive soil is removed. This creates a kind of lily pad effect; people can safely hop from one clean spot to another or walk along narrow paths between radioactive hot spots. A law passed in November 2011 mandates that all of Fukushima’s radioactive soil, roughly 15 million cubic meters, will be removed from the prefecture by 2045. With no place having volunteered to take any of the soil, the government has decided to spread it across Japan.
"Most of Fukushima’s bagged soil has been re-deposited into a dump built on the cliff behind the destroyed reactors. This facility separates the most radioactive elements from the soil and sequesters them in concrete bunkers. Soil containing less than 8,000 becquerels per kilo of radioactivity, which the Ministry of the Environment calls “Happy Soil,” is readied for shipment across the country, to be used in landfills and construction. (A becquerel is a unit of radioactivity, corresponding to one nuclear disintegration per second.) A load of Happy Soil, described as “revitalized and strong,” was recently dumped into the flower beds in front of the Prime Minister’s office in Tokyo."

EU feiert 15 Jahre Fukushima
„Renaissance der Kernenergie“ zum GAU-
Gedenktag: EU-Chefin Ursula von der Leyen nennt
die Abkehr von der Atomkraft einen „Fehler“ und
will den Bau von neuen Reaktoren vorantreibenja ! lasst uns endlich auch noch vom russischen Uran abhängig sein !!!
#EU #Fukushima #Kernenergie #GAU
#ZensUrsula #vdLeyen #Atomkraft #Reaktor #uran #russland -
Frau von der Leyen erzählt Märchen
Es sei ein strategischer Fehler gewesen, aus sicherer, sauberer und günstiger Atomenergie ausgestiegen zu sein. Sie will deshalb, dass die EU-Kommission wieder in Atomenergie einsteigt, Unternehmen subventioniert, die wieder in die Atomenergie investieren und sogar Investitionen in diesem Wirtschaftsbereich absichern. Drei Märchen auf einmal, um die Wahrheit zu verschleiern: Es geht um Europas Atombewaffnung!
Technisch sicher ist die Atomenergie ganz bestimmt nicht: Three Miles Island (USA) 1979, Tschernobyl (Ukraine) 1986 und Fukishima (Japan) 2011, drei Atomkatasstrophen, die Frau von der Leyen und viele andere gerne verdrängen – auch neue und kleinere Atomkraftwerke werden nicht sicherer sein können. Zumal sie nach dem Willen ihrer Konstrukteure oder besser Gedankenspieler auf die umfassenden Armierungen und Schutzhüllen konventioneller AKW verzichten sollen. Kein einziges dieser ausschließlich in Computern virtuell entworfener Projekte wurde bisher auch nur ansatzweise realisiert. Weil hierfür Millionensubventionen notwandig wären.
Politisch sicher ist die Atomkraft schon gar nicht, weil mit ihrem Brennstoff Uran wieder Russland als Lieferant von Uran und Produzent von Brennstäben mit angereichertem Uran ins Spiel kommt. Es ist geradezu skandalös, dass angesichts des Ukrainekrieges eine europäische Initiative ins Leben gerufen wird, die anstatt die Resilienz Europas zu stärken, eine Energieform fördern will, die die Abhängigkeit der EU sowohl von Russland wie auch von den USA verstärkt.
Auch sauber ist Atomenergie nicht, die ständig sorgfältig auf Strahlungslecks kontrolliert werden muss, zumal es immer noch kein sicheres Endlager für Atommüll gibt, der noch hunderttausende von Jahren strahlen wird, wenn es möglicherweise gar keine Menschen mehr gibt. Aber auch mit der angeblichen CO2-Neutralität ist es nicht weit her: Für Atomkraftwerke werden hunderttausende Tonnen Zement und Beton im Bau, im Betrieb und vor allem während der sicheren Entsorgung der verstrahlten Teile verbaut, die immense CO2 Fingerabdrücke hinterlassen.
Günstig war Atomstrom noch nie. Er ist die mit riesigem Abstand teuerste Energieart, die ohne Milliardensubventionen nicht auskommt und wie die Ölindustrie nur von zentralistisch und als Oligopol organisierten großindustrieellen Konzernen erbaut und betrieben werden kann. Die Energieerzeuger, die sie bauen, sind entweder Staatsbetriebe oder üben ihrerseits indirekte Kontrolle als Lobbyisten über die Politik aus. Das beste Beispiel ist das französische
AKW Flamanville. Block drei des 1979 erbauten AKW an der französischen Atlantikküste ist der letzte ergänzte Block. Baubeginn war Dezember 2007, der Betreiber EDF prognostizierte die Fertigstellung für 2012 die Baukosten auf 3,3 Milliarden Euro. 2012 gab EDF bekannt, die Baukosten seien auf 8,5 Milliarden Euro gestiegen. Im November 2014 gab man bekannt, der EPR werde voraussichtlich 2017 in Betrieb gehen. Im Juni 2019 gab EDF dann bekannt, Schweißnaht-Reparaturen verlängerten die Bauarbeiten bis Ende 2022. Die Baukostenschätzung lag nun bei 12,4 Mrd. Euro. Die Inbetriebnahme wurde nun für 2023 erwartet. Damit wäre das Kraftwerk 11 Jahre später in Betrieb gegangen als geplant – zu Kosten nahe dem Vierfachen der anfänglichen Planung. Im Juli 2020 wurde ein Bericht publik, wonach sich die bis dato bekannten Gesamtkosten des Projektes von den bisher kommunizierten 12,4 Mrd. Euro um weitere 6,7 Mrd. auf ca. 19,1 Mrd. Euro erhöhen sollen.
Beispiellose Sicherheitsprobleme, massive Kostenexplosion
Mitte Juli 2022 wurde öffentlich, dass ein Teil der installierten Reaktorsteuerung nicht funktioniert. EDF wusste seit 2019 von dem Problem. Im Dezember 2022 wurde bekannt, dass die Mehrkosten auf 10 Milliarden und die Gesamtkosten damit auf voraussichtlich 13,2 Milliarden ohne Finanzierungskosten von rund 5 Milliarden € steigen. Diese 13,2 Milliarden entsprechen einem Preis pro installiertem kW Nettoleistung von 8.250 €. Die Befüllung mit Brennstäben war damals für das erste Quartal 2024 geplant. Laut dem französischen Rechnungshof betrugen die Gesamtkosten inklusive 0,4 Milliarden Euro Rücklagen für Rückbau und Lagerung des Atommülls 23,7 Milliarden Euro zu Preisen von 2024.[] Die Baukosten lagen bei mehr als 13 Mrd. Euro, etwa das Vierfache der ursprünglich geplanten Kosten von 3,3 Mrd. Euro.
Naiv oder vor der Lobby eingeknickt?
Warum erzählt Ursula Von der Leyen offensichtlich solchen Blödsinn? Und warum plappern die Medien diese offensichtlichen Unwahrhrheiten einfach nach? Dass EU-Kommissionspräsidentin Ursula von der Leyen nun sogenannte, angeblich “kleine AKW” subventionieren will, ist entweder dumm und naiv oder böswillig und lobbyhörig. Dass diese Technik derzeit ausschließlich in Russland und China entwickelt wurde, in Ländern, die sich in Sachen AKW-Sicherheit nicht mit Ruhm bekleckert haben, scheint bei den Verantwortlichen der EU-Kommission ebenso wenig Eindruck hinterlassen, wie die Fähigkeit, durch Denken und Schlüsseziehen die Kosten, Risiken und Verluste von Atomenergie mit dem Nutzen, der Sicherheit und den Kosten von erneuerbaren Energien zu vergleichen.
Die von Emmanuel Macron erneut erhobene Forderung, dreckige, kostenintensive Risikotechnologie mit kostengünstigen, sauberen Erneuerbaren auf eine Stufe zu stellen, lässt an Dreistigkeit nichts zu wünschen übrig. Der dominante Atomstrom-Anteil von 67% französischer Atomreaktoren an französischer Energie, die im Grundlastbereich dominiert, verhindert im übrigen, dass Deutschland und andere EU-Länder billigen Sonnen- und Windstrom aus Spanien und Portugal nutzen können.
Macron geht es allein um die Atomwaffen
Macron geht es ausschließlich um eins: er braucht AKW und die EDF, um weiter Atomwaffen bauen und unterhalten zu können. Nicht ohne Grund hat er in der vergangenen Woche sein Atom-U-Boot-Theater in der Normandie veranstaltet. Dabei ist es durchaus legitim, im Zeichen der europäischen Eigenständigkeit und Unabhängigkeit von den USA über die Notwendigkeit nachzudenken, wie mit minimalem Kostenaufwand das nötige spaltbare Material erzeugt werden kann, um die Force de Frappe in Europa existenzfähig und autonom funktionsfähig zu halten. Aber dann müssten Macron und von der Leyen sich ehrlich machen und offen benennen, worum es eigentlich geht, nämlich die atomare Bewaffnung zu sichern. Dafür bedarf es aber nicht eines Milliardenprogramms völlig überteuerter, in Bau und Abriss Unmengen CO2 – produzierender, dreckiger und risikoreicher Atomreaktoren. Die zudem eine zentralistische und verwundbare Energieversorgungsstruktur darstellen. Der Ukrainekrieg beweist die Anfälligkeit zentraler Energiestrukturen täglich. Europa wird so nicht resilienter, sondern verwundbarer und anfälliger. So, wie Macron und von der Leyen eine atomare Zukunft beschworen haben, erinnert dies alles an die berühmte Abschiedsrede von Präsident Dwight D. Eisenhower von 1961, der die Politik vor der Machtfülle des Militärisch-Industriellen Komplexes warnte.

#Japan's #Fukushima #nuclear wastewater 'pose major #environmental, #HumanRights risks' - UN experts
20 May 2025
"The United Nations (UN) human rights experts have written to the Japanese government to express their concerns about the release of more than one million metric tonnes of treated nuclear wastewater into the #PacificOcean.
"In August 2023, Japan began discharging wastewaster from about 1000 storage tanks of contaminated water collected after the earthquake and tsunami in 2011 that caused the meltdown of its Fukushima nuclear plant.
"In the formal communication, available publicly, UN Human Rights Council special rappoteurs addressed the the management of Advanced Liquid Processing System (ALPS)-treated wastewater from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (NPS) by the Japan government and TEPCO (Tokio Electric Power), and the ongoing discharge of such waters into the Pacific Ocean.
"They said 'we are alarmed that the implementation of contaminated water release operations of into the ocean may pose major environmental and human rights risks, exposing people, especially children, to threats of further contamination in Japan and beyond.'
" 'We wish to raise our concern about the allegations of the failure to assess the consequences on health of the release of wastewater against the best available scientific evidence,' the special rappoteurs write.
" 'Against this backdrop, we would like to highlight that the threats to the enjoyment of the right to adequate food do not concern only local people within the borders of Japan.
" 'Given the migratory nature of fish, their contamination represents a risk also for people living beyond the Japanese borders, including Indigenous Peoples across the Pacific Ocean which, according to their culture and traditions, mainly rely on seafood as their primary livelihood.'
"The letter follows a complaint submitted by Ocean Vision Legal in August 2023 on behalf of the Pacific Network on Globalisation (#PANG) and endorsed by over 50 civil society groups in the Pacific and beyond.
"In a statement on Tuesday, PANG hailed it as "a landmark move for #OceanJustice and #HumanRights'.
"The organisation said that the destructive legacy of nuclear #contamination through #NuclearTesting is still strongly felt across the region.
"It said this legacy is marked by severe health impacts across generations and the ongoing failure to properly clean up test sites, which continue to contaminate the islands and waterways that Pacific peoples depend on.
" 'As Pacific groups, we remain disappointed in the Japanese Government and TEPCO's shameless disregard of the calls by numerous Pacific leaders and civil society groups to hold off on any further release,' PANG's coordinator Joey Tau said.
" 'Their ignorance constitutes a brazen threat to Pacific peoples' livelihoods, safety, health and well-being, and the sovereignty of Pacific nations,' he added.
"Japan has consistently maintained that the release is safe.
"The UN human rights experts have asked for further information from Japan, including on the allegations raised, and on how the Radiological Environmental Impact Assessment has been conducted according to the best available scientific evidence.
"This communication sends a clear message: Ocean issues must be understood as human rights issues, requiring precautionary and informed action aligned with international environmental law to safeguard both people and the marine environment.
"#OceanVisionLegal founder and CEO Anna von Rebay said while the communication is not legally binding, it is a crucial milestone.
" 'It informs the interpretation of human rights and environmental law in response to contemporary threats, contributing to the development of customary international law and strengthens accountability for any actor harming the Ocean,' she said.
" 'Ultimately, it paves the way towards a future where the Ocean's health is fully recognised as fundamental to human dignity, justice, and intergenerational equity.' "

And this is why we need to #RethinkNotRestart and #ShutDownAllNuclearPlants -- especially the aging ones! This article outlines a very possible #Doomsday scenario -- but it could be a number of things, including a large #SolarFlare...2030 Doomsday Scenario: The Great #Nuclear Collapse
A timeline of the #EndGame for human civilization
"Humanity has constructed a doomsday Deadman switch that threatens civilization. Climate destruction will make it increasingly difficult to avoid the looming global nuclear catastrophe we've created.
"Here's how our future might unravel:
Late 2020s: Climate Red Alert and Infrastructure Strain"By the late 2020s, Earth’s climate is in unprecedented turmoil. Global average temperatures are consistently 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels. Each year brings record-breaking heatwaves, “freak” floods, and droughts that batter infrastructure. Coastal cities flood more frequently, roads buckle in extreme heat, and power grids strain under surging demand for cooling.
"This cascade of climate disasters sets the stage for a systemic collapse: as societies grapple with runaway warming, the resilience of #Criticalnfrastructure (power, water, transit) erodes.
"Energy systems enter a crisis even before 2030. Nuclear power, which in 2025 still provided about 9% of the world’s electricity from ~440 reactors, becomes increasingly unreliable. Many nuclear plants struggle with climate stresses: cooling water sources heat up in summer, forcing reactors to reduce output or shut down to avoid unsafe temperatures. For example, a 2028 European #heatwave pushes river and sea temperatures above 25 °C, triggering emergency shutdowns at multiple reactors that cannot be cooled effectively.
"At the same time, stronger storms and floods threaten reactor safety. Dozens of reactors worldwide are unprepared for #ExtremeFlooding, meaning a dam failure or #StormSurge could lead to a Fukushima-scale accident. Worrisome reports emerge of power plants in #floodplains and #coasts where defenses are overtopped by #RisingSeas and torrential rains.
"By 2029, global carbon output remains high, and natural feedback loops are kicking in. In the Arctic, permafrost thaws and releases methane creating a vicious warming cycle where initial warming triggers more emissions, leading to even more warming. Scientists caution that a tipping point is near, beyond which climate change becomes self-perpetuating (a true “runaway” scenario).
"Society approaches 2030 in a precarious state: aware of looming catastrophe yet unprepared for its speed. The stage is set for the coming collapse, with power grids and nuclear facilities - the backbone of the industrial world - already under severe strain.
Early 2030s: Blackouts and the First Reactor Crises
"2030 marks the breaking point.
"A confluence of climate catastrophes collapses power grids across multiple continents. A severe global heatwave in the summer of 2030 brings record electricity demand while many power plants (nuclear and coal alike) are derated or offline due to overheating coolant water.
"Then powerful Category 5 storms strike in succession: one hurricane inundates the U.S. Eastern seaboard, while an unprecedented typhoon swamps Southeast Asia. These #disasters knock out transmission lines and flood key substations, leading to prolonged blackouts in dozens of major cities. Emergency systems are overwhelmed. With communications down and transportation paralyzed, manpower shortages become acute - many operators and engineers cannot reach their stations.
"Nuclear power plants are among the first to feel the emergency. Grid failure triggers automatic reactor SCRAMs (rapid shutdowns) at plants from Florida to France. Control rods halt the fission reactions, but decay heat in reactor cores still needs cooling for days to prevent meltdown.
"Normally, backup diesel generators would power the cooling pumps, but the scale of the #blackout means diesel resupply is uncertain and some generators fail in flooded facilities. In a grim reflection of 2011’s Fukushima disaster, several coastal reactors lose all power as storm surges drown their backup generators.
"Within hours to days, the first meltdowns occur.
"In 2031, a reactor in South Asia becomes a flashpoint: its cooling pumps falter after the grid collapse, leading the core to overheat. The reactor’s heart melts through containment in a matter of days, releasing a plume of radioactive steam and debris.
"Nearby, an even greater danger unfolds: the plant’s spent fuel pool, packed with years of highly radioactive spent rods, boils dry without cooling. Exposed to air, the zirconium cladding of the fuel ignites, triggering a fire that belches long-lived radioisotopes directly into the atmosphere. This nightmare scenario - once narrowly avoided at #Fukushima by heroic ad-hoc measures - now plays out in full."

Think #YoichiShimatsu was exaggerating about insiders knowing how bad #Fukushima really was? Well, #HillaryClinton and #BarackObama knew -- and a #FOIA search for Fukushima-related emails proves it! They were warned. Did folks in the US get a warning? Not from the government! (And believe it or not, Shepard Smith, of Fox News, was the only one reporting from Japan and talking to people there -- who were aware that their government was lying to them. Probably the first and last time Faux News was factually accurate...)

"'The way to look at this story is to link in your mind the Stuxnet revelations about the reportedly U.S. and #Israeli-led #Cyberattacks on the Iranian #nuclear enrichment facility at #Natanz and the calamities at the Fukushima power facilities over the past week. While seemingly unconnected, the stories together speak to the before and after of what cyber conflict may look like. Enemies will be able to target one another’s critical infrastructure as was done by the U.S. and Israeli team (likely working with British and German assistance) targeting the Iranian program and burrowing into their operating systems, they will seek to produce malfunctions that bring economies to their knees, put societies in the dark, or undercut national defenses."

And before you dismiss #YoichiShimatsu as a crackpot, please look into his history as an investigative journalist -- who are often the targets of governments and industries who have a lot to hide!
The #Fukushima Disaster, The Hidden Side of the Story
Wednesday, July 05, 2023
by Karl Grossman"Yoichi Shimatsu, a former Japan Times journalist, appears in the film and speaks of 'the cruelty, the cynicism of this government.' He speaks of how in the accident’s aftermath, 'nearly every member of Parliament and leaders of the major political parties' along with #corporate executives, 'moved their relatives out of Japan.'"

So, whenever I think about #Stuxnet, I recall how a journalist in Japan, #YoichiShimatsu, wrote about possible #Israeli Stuxnet sabotage at #Fukushima -- which caused some critical systems to fail. Many derided Shimatsu's theories as "Conspiracy Theories," but there may be a grain of truth in them -- especially given what happened with the recent #Malware attack on pagers in #Lebanon...
Journalist Accuses Israel of Fukushima Sabotage
October 14, 2011
By Richard Walker
"A leading Japanese journalist recently made two incredible claims about the Fukushima power plant that suffered a nuclear meltdown in March 2011, sending shockwaves around the world. First, the former editor of a national newspaper in Japan says the U.S. and Israel knew Fukushima had #weaponsgrade #uranium and #plutonium that were exposed to the atmosphere after a massive tsunami wave hit the reactor. Second, he contends that Israeli intelligence sabotaged the reactor in retaliation for Japan’s support of an independent #Palestinian state.
"According to Yoichi Shimatsu, a former editor of Japan Times Weekly, these nuclear materials were shipped to the plant in 2007 on the orders of Dick #Cheney and #GeorgeWBush, with the connivance of Israeli Prime Minister #EhudOlmert. The shipment was in the form of warhead cores secretly removed from the U.S. nuclear warheads facility BWXT #Plantex near Amarillo, Texas. While acting as the middleman, Israel transported warheads from the port of Houston, and in the process kept the best ones while giving the Japanese older warhead cores that had to be further enriched at Fukushima.
"Shimatsu credits retired #CIA agent and mercenary Roland #VincentCarnaby with learning the warheads were being transported from Houston. In a strange twist, Carnaby was mysteriously shot dead less than a year later by Houston police at a traffic stop. He was shot once in the back and once in the chest. He did not have a weapon in his hands.
"Intelligence sources said he had been tracking a #Mossad unit that was smuggling U.S. plutonium out of Houston docks for an Israeli nuclear reactor.
"In an even more explosive charge, the journalist says that 20 minutes before the Fukushima plant’s nuclear meltdown, Israel was so upset with Japanese support for a Palestinian declaration of statehood that it double-crossed Japan by unleashing the Stuxnet virus on the plant’s computers. The virus hampered the shutdown, leading to fallout from a section of the plant housing uranium and plutonium retrieved from the warheads supplied in 2007.
"While it is impossible to verify some of Shimatsu’s claims, there was a massive cover-up at the time of the Fukushima disaster in March [TRUE!!!]. Explosions at the site were immediately downplayed. While it was subsequently reported that three reactors suffered meltdowns, Japanese authorities tried to rate the disaster as a Level 4 on the International Nuclear and Radiological Event Scale, although outside experts declared it a 7, which is the highest level.
"Something worth noting is how in 2009, two years after Shimatsu says the warheads were secretly moved to Japan, the International Atomic Energy Agency (#IAEA) issued a veiled warning to Japan not to abandon its #AntiNuclear weapons policy.
"The IAEA had to know, however, that Japan has long retained the potential to build #NuclearWeapons. That was made clear as far back as 1996 when a leaked Ministry of Foreign Affairs document exposed how Japan had been promoting a dual strategy in respect to nuclear weapons since the mid-1960s. It would often publicly profess a non-nuclear policy while maintaining the ability to build a nuclear arsenal. The Liberal Democratic Party, which has dominated Japanese politics, has always said there is no constitutional impediment to nukes.
"A factor that undoubtedly would have encouraged the Bush-Cheney White House to provide Japan with the means to secretly build nukes was the growing power of China. Cheney and Bush sought to arm Japan and India with nuclear weapons as a means of curbing China."
