Japanese Nuclear Reactor Crisis `Very Serious,` - UN Atomic Chief

The Security Council began its meeting today with a minute’s silence for the victims of the quake and tsunami.

(NEW YORK) - Repeatedly calling the nuclear reactor crisis in Japan “very serious,” the head of the UN agency that coordinates global nuclear safety announced today that he'll fly to the country to see what further help he can offer.

IAEA Director Gen. Yukiya Amano said he would spend one night in the country and then report back to the Board of Governors.

Magnetic Monster: Geomagnetic Field Reveals Increasing Danger of `Continent Killing` Quakes

The earth's history is one of violence.

(CHICAGO) - Russian geophysicist Pogrebnikov concurs with his colleagues at Harvard and Stanford: the earth may be in for a hell of a time. Imagine events just short of doomsday and you'll have a small glimpse of the global catastrophes that may lie just ahead.

Quakes Shake up Globe, Impacting Ethnic Terrain

There is only one winner: Nature. And so the world turns.

(SALEM, Ore.) - Shattered dreams touching a wide diversity of ethnic groups have turned the world upside down over the last decade, and this upheaval continues its cruel thrust.

Over the last five years the power of earthquakes has made dents in the landscape of at least three continents. It has crushed vast populations in both the poorer and richer nations on this planet. Destruction has girded the globe.

Fukushima Nuclear Disaster

Tragedy beyond imagination is now unfolding in Japan.

(IWAKI, Japan) - CNN’s Anderson Cooper reported on AC 360 Tuesday night that 50 Japanese workers suspended operations at the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Northeastern Honshu.

At the risks of their lives, workers had been attempting to control fires and flood the site with seawater and boric acid in an effort to prevent a meltdown of the nuclear rods.

From Hiroshima to Fukushima to US!

And one fine day the lion may just will lie down with The Lamb and man will indeed abolish nuclear everything and thus make war no more; and that will create the Kingdom of God on this tiny planet we call earth.

(CLERMONT, Fla.) - Japan's quake-damaged northeast has helped recall the fact that sixty-six years ago Hiroshima and Nagasaki’s razed villages and burning shells of buildings were MADE IN THE USA! Japan has 54 nuclear power plants and about one-third of its nationwide electricity comes from nuclear energy.

There are 104 nuclear power plants in the United States!

Renewable Energy Revisited

The debate over the relative merits of the nuclear industry will soon focus on alternative energy with renewed vigor.

(SALEM, Ore.) - The nuclear emergency in Japan continues to unfold, with six reactors in an unstable state due to cooling problems brought about by the earthquake and tsunami events last weekend.

The specter of a nuclear meltdown, with the possibility of nuclear contamination over a wide area of Japan at the very least, has re-ignited the debate about the safety of nuclear power.

Secret Plan Exposed to Use Surplus Weapons Plutonium in Washington State Nuclear Reactor

FOIA Documents Reveal Energy Northwest Plans Plutonium Fuel (MOX) Experiments While Seeking to Control Information Leaks to the Media.

(COLUMBIA, S.C.) - Department of Energy (DOE) documents released to Friends of the Earth reveal that the public utility Energy Northwest hopes to bring experimental radioactive plutonium fuel into Washington State for use in risky tests in a nuclear reactor not originally designed for that purpose.

The documents also reveal that the utility has sought to keep information secret the about the controversial and risky pursuit of use of surplus weapons plutonium as nuclear reactor fuel.

How to Survive Nuclear Fallout From Japan`s Reactor Meltdown

Highly radioactive dust-like particles will be carried on the prevailing winds for hundreds or thousands of miles.

(CHICAGO) - With six reactors failing in Japan and at least two undergoing partial meltdown, concern has been raised about a massive radioactive cloud escaping and sweeping over the West Coast of the U.S.

As the crisis continues and the Japan Islands are being rocked by hundreds of strong aftershocks, the probability of a Chernobyl-like disaster escalates. If such an event does occur what can you do to protect yourself and your family?

The Revenge of the Supermoon

With the ongoing nuclear reactor emergency in Japan because of the earthquake, we may have radioactive fallout heading for Oregon in the days ahead. It shall be an interesting week indeed.

(SALEM, Ore.) - Our lives are measured by the cadence of lunar clockwork as the Earth-Moon system spins in gravity's embrace. The primordial influence of the Moon has synchronized life itself, driving our biorhythms and reproductive cycles.

Marching across the night sky, it's pale luminance has inspired countless works of art, poetry, and music.
