グローバル被爆者：核時代の隠された物語 [日本語吹替版]

この短編動画では、拡大し続ける核時代の歴史、そして日本での出来事を超え、世界中の何百万もの人々に影響を与えた「隠された物語」を探ります。核実験、核兵器製造、そして事故の時代がいかにして広大なネットワーク、すなわち放射性降下物によって人生を永遠に変えられた人々——「グローバル・ヒバクシャ」——を生み出したのかを検証します。

#ClimateChange May Unearth #ColdWar-Era #NuclearWaste Stored by the U.S. in Other Countries

A new report finds that melting ice and rising sea levels could disturb #RadioactiveContamination left over from American nuclear tests after World War II

Tara Wu - Reporter
March 6, 2024

"Rising global temperatures could unearth Cold War-era nuclear waste created by the United States and stored in other countries, posing potential issues for the environment and local inhabitants, according to a new report.

"An assessment conducted by the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) released earlier this year examined nuclear waste in the #MarshallIslands, #Greenland and #Spain, three locations with radioactive contamination resulting from American nuclear activity in the decades following World War II. Climate change could cause this nuclear waste to enter the environment, as warming temperatures melt ice sheets that contain radioactive liquid and raise sea levels that could pollute food and water sources with toxic waste, per the study.

"This lingering contamination came from nuclear weapon detonations, including #HydrogenBombs, and accidents at numerous sites around the world. Often, the U.S. government stored this waste near the sites of detonation, Robert Hayes, a nuclear engineer at North Carolina State University, says to Julia Jacobo of ABC News. In Greenland, officials disposed of nuclear waste in the ice sheet, and in the Marshall Islands, they placed it in a container with a concrete cap.

" 'The military was in the rush of the Cold War,' Hayes tells the publication. 'In hindsight, they could have done a better job.' "

Not sure if I trust the company responsible for #BrownsFerry to be building #NuclearFusion power plants...

"Type One Energy, a nuclear fusion developer based in Knoxville, has announced contracts with the #TennesseeValleyAuthority [#TVA] to build nuclear fusion components.

"According to the Chattanooga Times Free Press, the mission of Type One Energy is to build the world's first commercial nuclear fusion power plant."

No one hurt in fire at TVA’s #BrownsFerryNuclearPlant

Published 4:58 PM EDT, April 4, 2022

#TVA's "Browns Ferry has a troubled history that includes at least two much more serious blazes. A worker using a candle set off a fire that crippled the plant’s safety system in 1975 in what was considered the nation’s worst nuclear accidents at the time, and flames destroyed a cooling tower outside the main plant building in 1986."

They laughed at me when I stood up to play with the Demon Core.
They're not laughing now.
Serious question: Why are we seeing so many Demon Core memes now?

.> Following the IAEA 1991 report that claimed "radiation from the Chernobyl accident had almost no effect on the local population", Takagi produced a paper estimating that 100,000-200,000 extra cancers in former USSR countries are a result of this accident. To follow up, CNIC was co-organiser, with the Belarus Academy of Sciences and a number of Japanese scientists, of the 1994 Belarus-Japan Symposium 'Acute and Late Consequences of Nuclear Catastrophes: Hiroshima, Nagasaki and Chernobyl'.

.> In 1991 Jinzaburo Takagi invited Mycle Schneider to Japan to participate in an International Plutonium Conference. The two men started working together on the issues of waste and plutonium shipment between their two countries, a collaboration which was recognised in 1997 by the bestowal of a joint Right Livelihood Award on the two men.

.> In December 1995, the prototype Japanese fast-breeder reactor (FBR) had a serious accident, which the authorities tried to cover up. Takagi and CNIC were constantly quoted in the press as the scientists who could be trusted. With Japan and France hosting the two remaining large-scale interests in plutonium use, and MOX (uranium-plutonium mixed oxide fuel) being the main use for plutonium outside fast breeder reactors (FBRs), Takagi started work with Schneider on a two-year intensive international research project on 'A Comprehensive Social Impact Assessment of MOX in Light Water Reactors'.
...

.> In 1997 France shut down its Superphénix FBR, and Schneider edited a 32-page brochure that highlighted France's increasing isolation on nuclear policy. In Japan there was another nuclear accident, this time at the Tokai waste disposal facility, and another abortive attempt at a cover-up. With the escalating costs of reprocessing, and a MITI-imposed moratorium on fast-breeder development, public confidence in the industry in Japan decreased dramatically.

.> With his RLA prize money, Takagi started the Takagi School, to educate people who aim to be citizen scientists. He was diagnosed with cancer, but continued his activity under medical treatment until he died in 2000. Following his last will, the Takagi Fund for Citizen Science was founded to encourage and support Japanese and Asian citizen scientists.
