Is there such thing as a "safe" nuclear waste spill/accident?
I'm certain he cares about the animals - but in regard to conspiracy pontification - some believe that David Rockefeller is the brainchild behind women's lib and multiculturalism - and rumour of his latest plot is to ensure that the Greens become well established in Australia in order to slow the economy down to a standstill.Conspiracy pontificater wrote:You will be delighted to know all these things, I am sure, mantra.

I had no idea there was a flood in Cairns today or there were so many dozens of earthquakes going on all over the planet. The USA leads the way in emergencies and disasters ie chemical spills and there's even a section for mass death of animals.
A series of small earthquakes in Ohio late last year was probably caused by activity from fracking, a controversial oil and gas drilling technique, a state review concluded Friday.
The Ohio Department of Natural Resources said its review of the quakes in northeast Ohio last December appeared to be caused by a rare confluence of events in which wastewater injected into the ground triggered seismic activity in an unmapped fault area.
"Geologists believe induced seismic activity is extremely rare, but it can occur with the confluence of a series of specific circumstances," the report said.
"After investigating all available geological formation and well activity data, (state) regulators and geologists found a number of co-occurring circumstances strongly indicating the Youngstown area earthquakes were induced."
It concluded that disposal fluid from the Northstar 1 well "intersected an unmapped fault in a near-failure state of stress causing movement along that fault."
With the report, Ohio's oil and gas regulators announced new standards for transporting and disposing of brine, a by-product of oil and natural gas hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking," saying the rules will be "among the nation's toughest."
The new rules call for a review of geologic data for known faulted areas within the state and a ban on locating certain disposal wells within these areas.
The state will also require oil and gas operations to plug with cement any wells penetrating into the Precambrian basement rock and prohibit injection into these formations.
The report is the latest to raise fresh questions about fracking, a technique that offers the potential to unlock vast quantities of natural gas from shale formations but has come under intense scrutiny from environmentalists.

In recent days, it became much more likely that KM3NeT (home page), i.e. Cubic Kilometre Neutrino Telescope, would begin to be built in 2012.
You are probably right. Russia and China would keep a lot of their trials and errors hidden from the rest of the world, but it's still no excuse as to why a sophisticated country like the US endures so many toxic disasters. Many of them involve accidents at Nuclear power stations. Nuclear advocates would love us to believe that depleted uranium is quite benign when it disperses after leaks, but they are becoming less believable as evidence is now clear on the defects caused by long term exposure to this toxin. Depleted uranium permeates the land, sea and the atmosphere and doesn't dissipate as most other processed minerals do. It remains active and toxic for many thousands of years - so it may as well be considered destructive forever.Mattus wrote:Yairs. And it appears nothing bad ever happens in Russia and China!
Or perhaps the USA just does a better job of monitoring and reporting these risks? No?
I'm becoming a little cynical myself about some of these climate change agreements especially as they contradict any real effort to clean this planet up.mellie wrote:http://www.physics.ucla.edu/~hauser/neu ... ah_mod.htm
Refere to section 3. Long Beamline Neutrino Experiments concerning Japan in the above link.
I don't think all these spills are 'accidents' per say.

Mantra, a Kyoto protocol isn't quite as green as some think it is, to the contrary in fact.
What's worse, Dr Bob Brown knows fine well what it is.

Atomic ocean tests, deep sea drilling and longwall mining all cause surface cracks although this is certainly denied by the scientists and investors.
