via ChannelNewsAsia.com / August 5, 2013 / The operator of Japan’s crippled Fukushima nuclear plant has given its first public estimate of the size of the leakage of radioactive tritium into the Pacific Ocean since the disaster. Between 20 trillion to 40 trillion becquerels of the substance is estimated to have leaked into the sea since May 2011, said Tokyo Electric Power Co (TEPCO). It was the first such figure … Continue reading →

Water, thank you.
73% of the 948,956 spent fuel rods generated by The San Onofre Nukes are still stored in the plant’s two spent fuel pools.
The time has come to set our intention about how we want to safely store this waste for the next 1 million years.
Peace be with you, All My Peace,
The Peace that is ” I “, the Peace that is “I am”.
The Peace for always, now and forever and evermore.
