Call for Boycott of French Wine & Cheese
In the past months there has been a growing concern that France's aging nuclear power infrastructure has gone from bad to worse, with critical leak and waste problems. Sadly the majority of French nuclear power plants were built in the heart of wine and cheese country, where cows graze and grape grow.French farmers pride themselves on bio, what we mean by eco, producing some of the best wine and cheese on the planet. But today, because of the rising levels of ionizing radiation coming from nuclear power plants that were built to run only 25 years, not 40 since President Pompidou handed EDF over to Westinghouse.
In solidarity with French farmers, a boycott of potentially irradiated wine and cheese products made from contaminated water, would urge the French authorities to set up transparent radiation monitoring measures of all wells, streams and rivers affecting agricultural regions.
France is facing an unsurmountable decommissioning and waste disposal future. Not having invested in an alternative energy infrastructure as their neighbors did, France is the driving force putting extraodinary pressure on the rest of the world to dive into a nuclear renaissance, this despite the clear evidence that nuclear power is no longer a viable, cost effective way of producing electricity.
So we'd like to call on the boycott of French wine and cheese products until it can be demonstrated that they are all free of contamination.

USS Hartford Leaking Radioactive Particulates after NEAR DEATH ACCIDENT? Reports suggest so.
Nuclear Sub USS Hartford LEAKING RADIOACTIVITY? Sources SUGGEST JUST THAT
Tuesday, March 31, 2009
USS Hartford Nuclear Propulsion System Leaking Radioactivity...Is Reactor DAMAGED...
It seems that Shaikh Abdulla bin Hamad Al Khalifa wants WATER SAMPLES from under the Nuclear Fast Attack Sub USS Hartford to ascertain the severity of the RADIOACTIVE LEAK!
He said that officials are monitoring the situation with the US Navy regional environment affairs co-ordinator and Mutual Emergency (MEMAC) and Bahrain port authorities after the vessels were transferred to Bahrain waters for maintenance work.
"We ensured containing the environmental impact from the oil leaks with the use of rubber booms," said the spokesman.
He said that the public commission requested the US Navy to be provided with samples from under the submarine to be analysed as soon as possible at one of the neutral labs in the region.
"The move aimed at establishing the level of the radioactive leak," said the spokesman.
He said that Bahrain authorities also requested an urgent report on procedures that ensure safeguarding marine environment and the health of the workers during maintenance work on the submarine in Bahrain.
"The public commission, in co-ordination with the Royal Navy, learnt that the submarine's fuel was not affected from the collision," said the spokesman.
"The US Navy regional environment affairs co-ordinator also assured us in an urgent reply that the submarine contains measuring and early dedication equipment to monitor any leak of nuclear fuel." (These are the same hallow false propaganda reports the NRC gives us all the time...same thing we heard when Indian Point leaked 100,000 of tritium laced water into the Hudson River, the same excuses they give to deny their guilt in my wife's cancer...what is the real truth MC2 Kirby?)
"We would like to assure all Bahrain residents that the situation is being closely monitored by the authorities concerned." My suggestion to the citizens of Bahrain...TRUST BUT VERIFY as Mr. Reagan used to say...the Nuclear Navy is not above giving you FAKE WATER SAMPLES....have your own divers collect the samples.
This blog contacted Naval Operations, and several people REFUSED COMMENT, one person saying, "we cannot discuss that matter." After much persistence I was told I would have to speak to one PAO Ed Siegler...so far, the man has not bothered to respond to the inquiry. So tell us the TRUTH Mr. Seigler...is the USS Hartford leaking radioactive materials, and if so, how significant is the damage to the nuclear propulsion system? For other news sources that get better response than us bloggers get, you can reach Mr. Siegler at (202)433-2678 or by cell at (703)609-7996 If you get anything, let us know.

Is NRC Commission About To Pay For DBT Cheating?
NRC Commissioners Under Investigation FOR DBT Fixing
Greetings Anti Nuke Friends...This is an all hands on deck moment, our chance to hand the entire group of Commissioners a serious gut punch for CHEATING when it comes to the DBT. I was (which is not unusual) upset when I learned the Commissioners had once again voted against staff recommendations regarding the strengthening of the DBT (Design Basis Threat) document which dictates what weapons a licensee must be capable of defending against.I did what I usually do...fired off a scathing ACCUSATION
which outlined some of what I know to be a fact, pointing out why I knew the Commissioners were worshipping at the Nuclear Temple of Taint at NEI. Good news...the Inspector Generals Office has informed me that they are going to investigate my allegations, want to set up a time to interview me further on my allegations.This is where all you in the Anti Nuclear Arena come in, and can become involved. ANYTHING related to REACTOR SECURITY
(which if you think about it is ALMOST everything) and the DBT that you want addressed email to me via this email. I am specifically interested in instances where you feel the Commissioners have cheated on the DBT, or have ignored your CONCERNS and ALLEGATIONS regarding the DBT and security issues. IE, force on force exercises. claims that the DBT is inadequate, instances where they have refused to address your concerns regarding the DBT, especially as relates to LICENSE RENEWAL. Think Mothers for Peace, think creating a huge MONSTER PROBLEM for the NRC, think of this as an opportunity to get rid of the likes of Dale Klein. Tuesday, March 24, 2009

USS Hartford Fast Attack Nuclear Sub Seaworthy? MAYBE NOT
USS Hartford No Longer Sea Worthy? Formal Request For OPEN INVESTIGATION
Attn: Navy Hotline Building 172 1254 Ninth Street, S.E. Washington Navy Yard DC Take Notice of the nice SMOOTH SEALED surface where the Sail joins the Hull. Notice the vertical/horizontal alignments...compare this to the new CANT.
It does not take a rocket scientist to realize the horrific collision of the USS Hartford with the USS New Orleans was/is far more serious than the Navy is letting on. The few available pictures of the USS Hartford fast attack submarine show SERIOUSLY broken welds around the sail. The Conning Tower is canted from stem to stern, suggesting that periscopes are no longer working.

Has Hull of US Nuclear Submarine USS Hartford BEEN COMPROMISED?
1. Against REGULATIONS, the two naval vessels were NOT IN COMMUNICATION with each other before the USS Hartfort RIPPED OPEN THE HULL of the USS New Orleans, dumping 25,000 gallons of diesel fuel into the STright of Hormuz, thus doing UNTOLD DAMAGE to the environment...Navy does not seem overly concerned.
2. Uss Hartford was FULLY SUBMERGED when it SMASHED into the USS New Orleans.
3. Nuclear Submarine USS Hartfort has taken on Hull Damage...which begs the question...has the USS Hartfort's HULL SUFFERED CRITICAL DAMAGE?
FOX News Confirms Nuclear Sub DAMAGED...Has Hull of USS Hartford BEEN COMPROMISED?
FOX News has confirmed that the nuclear submarine USS Hartford has taken damage in its mualing of the USS New Orleans that itself spilled over 25,000 gallons of diesel into the Straight of Hurmuz...in more disturbing news, it turns out that the Nuclear Submarine was FULLY SUBMERGED, which begs the question, has the Nuclear Submarine's hull BEEN COMPROMISED?

The USS Hartford
A nuclear submarine was damaged in a collision with another U.S. Navy vessel off the coast of Iran early Friday, leaving 15 U.S. sailors injured and 25,000 gallons of fuel spilling into the Strait of Hormuz.
The USS Hartford, a nuclear-powered fast-attack submarine, was fully submerged Friday when it collided with the transport ship the USS New Orleans, according to a Navy official in the 5th Fleet. Seas were calm but visibility was low as the incident occurred around 1:00 a.m. local time.
No official reason has been given for the accident but a Defense Department official told FOX News that "it appears the two vessels were not in communication before they collided."
Fifteen sailors aboard the Hartford were slightly injured but able to return to duty. No injuries were reported aboard the New Orleans, according to the Bahrain-based 5th Fleet. It was the Los Angeles-class submarine's first deployment.

Hey Richard Barkley....Still Waiting For that DBT Meeting
Monday, March 16, 2009
Hey NRC...What is in the DBT?
 | |
|
KIRTLAND AIR FORCE BASE, N.M., Nov. 1, 2005 – A laser technology being developed by Air Force Research Laboratory employees at Kirtland Air Force Base, N.M., will be the first man-portable, non-lethal deterrrent weapon intended for protecting troops and controlling hostile crowds...Can see Neil Sheehan ordering a couple of dozen!
The weapon, developed by the laboratory's Directed Energy Directorate, employs a two-wavelength laser system and is the first of its kind as a hand-held, single-operator system for troop and perimeter defense.
The laser light used in the weapon temporarily impairs aggressors by illuminating or "dazzling" individuals, removing their ability to see the laser source.
Special Operations Forces Demolition Kit
(SOFDK)
The SOFDK contains a variety of inert items that, when field loaded, provide Special Operations Forces with the capability to tailor charges to the target by using SDK components and C4 or other moldable explosives. The kit provides several methods of attaching charges/munitions to targets. The overall intent is to allow the operator to construct the smallest, lightest charge feasible with the greatest standoff distance attainable and maximum precision. I have a question....how can this type of stuff be put up on EASILY ACCESSIBLE PUBLIC WEB SITES, but we cannot see the DBT? Could it be the NRC does not want Host Communities to know just how PATHETIC Reactor Site Security is?
My FAVORITE:
Rapid Wall Breaching Kit (RWBK)
RBWK addresses an immediate need to give Soldiers wall breaching capability in urban and complex terrain. It supports performance demolition missions across the full range of operations. The RWBK is man-portable, rapidly deployable and creates a man-size hole to gain forced entry into buildings. Each kit will contain explosive, ignition material, attachment devices and a rebar cutter. Hey Richard Barkley, how much of a chance does a CINDER BLOCK SPENT FUEL POOL HAVE AGAINST A RBWK? Is such a kit included in the DBT?

The Helen Keller Brain Salad Directed Energy Sandwich Nuclear Comparison
America's Nuclear Reactors are perhaps some of the most critical infrastructure in America, and also some of the most poorly guarded...as example, the NEI was successful in convincing the NRC that Bullet Resistence Glass was fine when weighed with what it would cost the Licensees to upgrade their guard towers! (About $10 million per reactor site on a one time investment basis.)That might sound like a lot of money, the industry position reasonable until you take a look at the DOD and their Directed Energy Directorate located at the Phillips Research Site, Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico. The Directorate has a workforce of more than 600 people, an annual budget exceeding $130 million, and 670,000 square feet of working space. What do they do? Look for ways to blind large groups of protesters with pulse weapons while they turn your brains into egg salad. (Right now, they are looking to control the lazer pulses enough that they do not do permanent eye damage. Take Microwave oven doors to your next Anti Nuclear sit in to make a group shield with.)
The Advanced Optics & Imaging Division develops techniques and technologies to improve optical systems, and then transition those systems to war-fighting commands. The Division also is working on systems that will accurately place a beam of laser light on a target such as an attacking missile. Much of this research is in support of the Air Force's Airborne Laser program.
The High-Power Microwave Division is the Air Force's center of excellence for high-power microwave technologies, managing all research and development in that area. This includes high-power microwave hardware and systems, as well as protection against an aggressor's microwave systems.
The Laser Division is the Department of Defense's center of expertise for the development of lasers and for getting those technologies to U.S. military forces. Included are semiconductor, gas, chemical, and solid-state lasers.
The Optical Surveillance Division provides research and development for leading-edge space capabilities to enhance the United States' space mission.
The Starfire Optical Range Division operates a facility that includes a 3.5-meter telescope, one of the largest in the world able to image satellites passing quickly overhead. The facility also uses lasers and adaptive optics as part of its research for obtaining high-resolution images of objects in space.
The Program Integration Division assesses potential applications and effects of systems incorporating directed energy technologies. The Division also manages the strategic development of the Directed Energy Directorate.

The Commercial Nuclear War Machine Rumbles On...The Ugly Tritium Truth
FIRST NUCLEAR SUB IN NEW YORK HARBORI've felt all along that the Anti Nuclear Groups needed to JOIN FORCES with those who opposed Nuclear Weapons, have bemoaned the lack of worry the Anti-Nuclear Weapons folks have given to commercial nuclear reactors....especially in the last say ten years as the NRC races to rubber stamp the License Renewal Applications of America's 104 Ancient Nuclear Behemoths, failed reactors left over from a failed nuclear legacy that the DOD, DOE, NRC and the nuclear industry desperately want to keep up and running to save the industry, and...COULD IT BE THE UNITED STATES NUCLEAR ARSENAL?
PAY ATTENTION FOLKS
One of the BIGGEST problems that the NRC has been ignoring of late is the TRITIUM leaking from an ever increasing number of American Reactor sites. The latest example of this was the UNDERGROUND PIPE RUPTURE at Indian Point on February 21st of this year. The licensee estimates some 100,000 gallons of tritiated water RUSHED into the Hudson River as a result of this significant accident. The NRC Propaganda Team was quick to rush out to the medium with their patented, "No harm no foul" message that stakeholders were never in any immediate danger. (Notice the slick use of the word IMMEDIATE?) Further, the NRC, NEI and the entire nuclear industry are going to a whole lot of trouble to MAKE AMERICANS COMFORTABLE with Tritium LEAKING INTO OUR ENVIRONMENT...WHY?
GOD, WHAT A BRILLIANT QUESTION!
First, how many of you knew that the DOE/DOD used to operate two Military Reactors whose sole purpose was the PRODUCTION OF TRITIUM?...DOES THAT HAVE YOUR ATTENTION?
How many of you knew that those two reactors were permanently closed down in the early 90's for SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS?
Tritium is a radioactive isotope of hydrogen used to enhance the explosive yield of every thermonuclear weapon. Tritium has a radioactive decay rate of 5.5% per year and has not been produced in this country for weapons purposes since 1988 when the K Reactor at Savannah River Site in South Carolina was shut down for safety reasons.
COME ON FOLKS, THINK FAST, THIS IS GETTING FUN!
Tritium's decay rate of 5.5 percent a year means that THERMONUCLEAR WEAPONS NEED TO BE RECHARGED on a FAIRLY REGULAR BASIS...the only place to get Tritium is from the operation of NUCLEAR REACTORS! ARE YOU SEEING THE LIGHT BULB YET?
Where are armies of citizens into the tens of thousands storming to the gates of every Nuclear Reactor Site in America that is LEAKING TRITIUM...we are being poisoned for THE WAR WHORES!

Disgusting Reporting
Well, I guess that's why we never found the hard hitting interview of NRC spokesperson Jim Steets conducted by RNN reporter Andrew Whitman at the last NRC public meeting on their website... I wonder if Andrew in fact still has a job at the station, and if his aggressive investigation of the high levels of thyroid cancers in the communities around Indian Point, didn't prompt this sudden sell out by his employer.New Paranoia issue dedicated to No Nukes
