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 <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Malware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Malware</span></a> attack on pagers in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Lebanon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Lebanon</span></a>... </p><p>Journalist Accuses Israel of Fukushima Sabotage</p><p>October 14, 2011</p><p>By Richard Walker</p><p>"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 <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/weaponsgrade" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>weaponsgrade</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/uranium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>uranium</span></a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/plutonium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>plutonium</span></a> 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 <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Palestinian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Palestinian</span></a> state.</p><p>"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 <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Cheney" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Cheney</span></a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GeorgeWBush" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GeorgeWBush</span></a>, with the connivance of Israeli Prime Minister <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EhudOlmert" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EhudOlmert</span></a>. The shipment was in the form of warhead cores secretly removed from the U.S. nuclear warheads facility BWXT <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Plantex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Plantex</span></a> 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.</p><p>"Shimatsu credits retired <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CIA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CIA</span></a> agent and mercenary Roland <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/VincentCarnaby" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VincentCarnaby</span></a> 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. </p><p>"Intelligence sources said he had been tracking a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Mossad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mossad</span></a> unit that was smuggling U.S. plutonium out of Houston docks for an Israeli nuclear reactor.</p><p>"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.</p><p>"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.</p><p>"Something worth noting is how in 2009, two years after Shimatsu says the warheads were secretly moved to Japan, the International Atomic Energy Agency (<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IAEA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IAEA</span></a>) issued a veiled warning to Japan not to abandon its <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AntiNuclear" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AntiNuclear</span></a> weapons policy.</p><p>"The IAEA had to know, however, that Japan has long retained the potential to build <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NuclearWeapons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NuclearWeapons</span></a>. 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.</p><p>"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."</p><p>Read more:<br><a href="https://americanfreepress.net/japanese-journalist-accuses-israel-of-fukushima-sabotage/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">americanfreepress.net/japanese</span><span class="invisible">-journalist-accuses-israel-of-fukushima-sabotage/</span></a></p>

DoomsdaysCW<p>From Detailedpedia: Discharge of radioactive water of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant</p><p>Last updated at 2024-08-21</p><p>"Discharge to ocean, treated water</p><p>Advanced Liquid Processing System (2013–)</p><p>"To prevent the reactor meltdowns from worsening, a continuous supply of new water is necessary to cool the melted fuel debris. As of 2013, 400 metric tonnes of water was becoming radioactively contaminated each day. The contaminated water is pumped out and combined into the reactor-cooling loop, which includes strontium–cesium removal (KURION, SURRY) and reverse osmosis desalination processes.</p><p>"In October 2012, TEPCO introduced the "Advanced Liquid Processing System" (ALPS, Japanese: 多核種除去設備), which is designed to remove radionuclides other than tritium and carbon-14. ALPS works by first pre-processing the water by iron coprecipitation (removes alpha nuclides and organics) and carbonate coprecipitation (removes alkali earth metals including strontium elements). The water is then passed through 16 absorbent columns to remove nuclides.</p><p>"Wastewater is pumped to ALPS along with the concentrated saltwater from desalination. As some tritium still remains, even treated water would require dilution to meet drinkable standards. Although carbon-14 is not removed, the content in pre-treatment water is low enough to meet drinkable standards without dilution.</p><p>"Japan's Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) approved the design of ALPS in March 2013. ALPS is to be run in three independent units and will be able to purify 250 tons of water per day. Unit "A" started operation in April. In June, unit A was found to be leaking water and shut down. In July, the cause was narrowed down to chloride and hypochlorite corrosion of water tanks; TEPCO responded by adding a rubber layer into the tanks. By August, all systems were shut down awaiting repair. One unit was expected to come online by September, with full recovery planned by the end of 2013.</p><p>"By September 2018, TEPCO reports that 20% of the water had been treated to the required level.</p><p>"By 2020, the daily buildup of contaminated water was reduced to 170 metric tonnes thanks to groundwater isolation installations. TEPCO reports that 72% of the water in its tanks, some from early trials of ALPS, needed to be <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/repurified" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>repurified</span></a>. The portion of ready-to-discharge water raised to 34% by 2021, and to 35% by 2023.</p><p>"Some scientists expressed reservations due to potential <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/bioaccumulation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bioaccumulation</span></a> of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ruthenium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ruthenium</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/cobalt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cobalt</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/strontium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>strontium</span></a>, and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/plutonium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>plutonium</span></a>, which sometimes slip through the ALPS process and were present in 71% of the tanks. </p><p>[...]</p><p>"Ferenc Dalnoki-Veress, a scientist-in-residence at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey, said regarding dilution that bringing in living creatures makes the situation more complex.
