PLUTONIUM FUEL FOR NUCLEAR REACTORS
March 29, 2011, 11:55 a.m.
The disaster at Fukushima makes it apparent how little is known about the operation of a nuclear power plant. For example the so-called "spent" fuel in the cooling pools on the rooftops is many times more dangerous than the fresh, non irradiated fuel. The biggest danger from the Fukuchima nuclear accident comes from unit 3 that was stocked in September 2010 with MOX, a new mixed oxide reactor fuel that contains plutonium - not as a fission byproduct - but from the outset inside the fuel rods. MOX fuel is many times more lethal than uranium fuel.

During my more than twenty years of activism on issues involving persistent organic pollutants (POPs), I have come to have great respect for the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) and the International POPs Elimination Network (IPEN). UNEP and IPEN are entities that utilize scientific knowledge for the protection of the environment and the public health. This is a special role. There are very few entities in the entire world that do this. The National Toxicology Program, within the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences of the National Institutes of Health is a United States government agency whose record makes it deserving of being honored together with UNEP and IPEN.
In 2010, the United Nations (UN) Environment Program (UNEP) in conjunction with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN commenced a campaign to educate the world's citizens upon the subject of toxic and hazardous chemical exposure disease outcome for the purpose of creating progress on the path of transition from careless and harmful activities involving use and disposal of toxic
and hazardous chemicals to acting with responsibility. Several categories of toxic and hazardous chemicals are addressed: (1) hazardous chemicals that are purposefully used in economic activity, (2) hazardous chemicals that are by products of chemical reactions or are created by industrial processes including, primary metals production, paper manufacturing and combustion of mixed solid wastes of which plastics are a component and (3) the chemicals listed in the Rotterdam, Basel and Stockholm Conventions. This campaign is aptly called Safe Planet. The campaign currently consists of an outreach on POPs body burden. Safe Planet additionally addresses right to know with regards to trans boundary movements of hazardous substances. Creating widespread awareness of the body burden problem is a highly important step toward full utilization of existing scientific knowledge to reduce pollutant exposure disease outcome.
Michael Stanley-Jones is the focal point for the Safe Planet campaign. Safe Planet is taking a leadership role in bringing POPs exposure reduction change. Michael looks upon Safe Planet as a means of harnessing a monumental upsurge of human energy for protecting the Earth from further poisoning.
Viva Safe Planet! Viva the environmental revolution that is sweeping the world!

Japan Bulletin #5 Mar 28 Plutonium Leaks!
March 28, 2011, 2:35 p.m.
Japan Atomic Emergency Bulletin #5 March 28 in North America. As suspected, government scientists have found plutonium outside the Fukushima nuclear complex. Damaged reactors are the suspected source. More radiation found outside the plant, and by Greenpeace 40 kilometers away - far outside the 20 k evacuation zone. Japan's gov't forbids residents from going home. May become a giant no-go zone bisecting Japan. A continuing risk to the Northern Hemisphere.

BSTF 859 - Hurricane Spectacular 02 - Welcome to HELLTOWN!
March 28, 2011, 1:01 p.m.
My HURRICANE SPECTACULAR continues, with Chapter 2: "Welcome to HELLTOWN!"
The storm has passed, but the misery is only beginning as the shellshocked survivors of Hurricane Katrina founder about in a nightmarescape of hellish ruin, toxic water, and lost hopes. Marooned on overpasses or sealed within the SuperDome to die, it's beginning to sink in on the stunned residents of New Orleans that President George intends to do nothing about the disaster. To leaven the gloom, Dread Zeppelin offers their take on "Smoke on the Water;" and there's some spirited bluegrass pickers (Flatt & Scruggs, perhaps) doing "Take Me in Your Lifeboat" -- but there's precious little hope to go around. This episode ends with a poignant duet between Otis Redding and Mayor Ray Nagin that worked so well, it surprised the hell out of me!

BSTF 858 - Hurricane Spectacular 01 - Hell And High Water
March 28, 2011, 11:33 a.m.
Chapter One of the HURRICANE SPECTACULAR, "Hell and High Water"!
It's been five whole years since I gave this one a listen, and it amazed me in spots! Not to mention being incredibly TIMELY in its themes of disaster and survival, what with these current events going on. True, I was only going to do one Hurricane Katrina-themed show, but from this single nut of a show, a 17-hour, 17-headed hydra emerged to become a uniquely Amerikan armchair revenge odyssey. This is the foundation of the saga: the Hurricane Katrina backstory, full of intrigue and suspicion, mystery and conspiracy. In an atmosphere of killer storms and mysteriously exploding levees, the inundation begins, sweeping with it chunks of King Uszniewicz and His Uszniewicztones, a little Katrina and the Waves (*had* to!), and a stunning duet between Jimmy Swaggart and Dread Zeppelin where you will hear, vividly, how easy it is to twist a man's words. All I did was seamlessly switch "God" and "Satan," and "loves" and "hates," and even *I* was convinced! And YES, the Mothra sequence was already in the original.
See what I meant? TIMELY.
