Japan's nuke reactors being hit by Stuxnet as well as HAARP earthquake?

[Dig]

the tsunami didn't cause the damage at this reactor!  The 8.9-9.1 earthquake.  The 5th largest earthquake ever recorded.  And the Japanese could no more build a power plant to withstand that, then they could build a wall to hold back a 200' tidal wave.  Again, the Earth's axis shift 4 inches.  Can you see the power in that?  We are fleas on the dog!

Yup, the reactors are built for this shit, just like the buildings that did not fall. But they are not built to withstand Stuxnet which is proven to cause meltdown scenarios. In the history of mankind concerning nuclear reactor meltdown scenarios...STUXNET is 100% effective whereas tsunamis and earthquakes are 0% effective.

This reminds me of 3 steel frame buildings collapsing at free fall speed in the history of mankind and the absurdity of it being fire.

are you actually aware that STUXNET causes this exact scenario? I mean exactly. To brush it off seems odd, but whatever. Crisis going to waste issues are fairly dubunkable these days and using the logic of crisis going to waste...there is likely to be wholesale obstructions of justice. Since they do not want the crisis to go to waste...they must stop any investigation into Stuxnet, HAARP, sabotage, etc. So even if they are just trying to exploit millions of possibly dying people for personal gain, it would make sense to look at the likely causes of this "game changing" and "myth building" event. Especially if the ones exploiting the situation are covering it up.

Symantec releases new report on Stuxnet
WARNS ENERGY SECTOR TO BEWARE
http://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/symantec-releases-new-report-on-stuxnet-warns-energy-sector-to-beware/
By: Molly McHugh  • February 15, 2011

As more information reveals the extent of Stuxnet's damage - and who may have been responsible - Symantec warns the power sector to look out.

Cyber security firm Symantec released its quarterly report yesterday, revealing that targeted attacks to steal company data have increased. The report specifically focuses on the Hydraq Trojan and the Stuxnet worm, and the damage they caused and concern for future attacks involving each.

“Past targeted attacks…are important because they demonstrate that there are vulnerabilities in critical infrastructure sectors – specifically, in the power and energy sectors. The Stuxnet attacks were the first ones that specifically targeted ICS (industrial control systems). This is significant because it is an actual event of what was formerly just a plausible scenario.”

In an interview with CNET, Symantec executive Ralph Langer says the targeted attacks using the Stuxnet virus were always intended “to destroy [Iran’s] centrifuges but also to lower the output of enriched uranium.” The security firm notes that these types of targeted attacks can easily be tied back to politics and government-led operations. The hardest hit facility was the Natanz nuclear plant in Iran, Langer says. The company also revealed earlier this year that of the more than 100,000 targeted organizations, 60 percent were Iranian. Additionally, 12,000 of the viruses were targeting only five hosts, industrial organizations located in the country.

And as news that the Stuxnet virus was intended to take down Iranian nuclear facilities surfaces, The Telegraph is reporting that Israel is inching towards claiming responsibility as the source. Israel has been a suspect, but according to the report, a video celebrating the military success of lieutenant general Gabi Ashkenazi’s features direct reference to his involvement with the Stuxnet worm. The video means the IDF may have unwittingly tied  itself closer to Stuxnet.

Aside to being increasingly careful with sensitive information, Symantec advises companies and organizations wary of attacks to limit Internet use. The report mentions energy and power industries are of particular concern. This warning comes shortly after a report from McAfee revealed that Chinese hackers may have launched cyberattacks targeting US energy firms last year.

When you say, "STUXNET causes this exact scenario?" do you mean, "Am I aware that STUXNET causes nuclear plants to fail and cause melt down?" then YES, I am aware that it does that exact thing!  However, there is more than one way to skin a cat, and one very good way to pop a nuclear reactor, is to shake it up, real hard, and break the cooling line on the core side of the of the main core shut off valve, such that you cause a catastophic loss of cooling to the core, which causes a breech,and/or leak radiation, which causes nearby cores to breech. and leak radiation.

So far, you have convinced me that it is possible to do it using STUXNET, but the facts on the ground sure look like an earthquake did the job just fine on its own.  No STUXNET needed.

While "they" may not leave things to chance, "they" can't control earthquakes that change our axis, or make nuclear reactors to withstand 8.9-9.1 quakes.  Just because "they" can, doesn't mean, they did make it happen, or could stop a different version of it from happening due to powers beyond their control.

Radiation level up at Japan Fukushima Daiichi nuke plant
March 14 | Sun Mar 13, 2011 6:49pm EDT
http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/03/13/japan-quake-radiation-idUSTFD00667020110313

(Reuters) - Japan's Tokyo Electric Power Co (TEPCO) said on Monday the electric utility has reported a rise in radiation levels at its Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant to the government.

The cooling system of the plant, located 240 km (150 miles) north of Tokyo, was damaged by Friday's massive earthquake and tsunami, forcing the operator to release radioactive air to reduce pressure inside reactor container vessels.

The exact radiation level on the site was not immediately available, a TEPCO spokeswoman said.

It's statements like these taht always make me suspicious.  Does anyone doubt our ability to detect radiation sources from satelites above?  Does anyone believe for a second that a nuclear radiation source like a 6 core faciity doesn't show up on a dozen screens in bases all over the world?

They know down to the millirem how much is being pumped out of that sight.  They just LIE!  For whatever reason they have.  Maybe the sight always put out too much radiation.  Maybe theres a horrible leak coming.  We will soon see.

How did the buildings around the reactor do?
 

Just because "they" can, doesn't mean, they did make it happen, or could stop a different version of it from happening due to powers beyond their control.

Just because they can, just because they have motive, just because people were blowing the whistle, just because we spent decades building a system to be compromised like Risk Management+Industrial Controls+Shadow Operations+Compliance by the Entire Industry, etc. does not mean that this likely scenario should be ignored.

Statement to 43rd Annual Conference of Japan Atomic Industrial Forum

Mr. Takashi Imai, President of the Japan Atomic Industrial Forum, Mr Yosuke Kondo, Parliamentary Senior Vice-Minister for Economy, Trade and Industry, Mr. Zenbee Mizoguchi, Governor of Shimane Prefecture, Mr. Masataka Matsuura, Mayor of Matsue-city, Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen,

It is a special honour for me to address the 43rd Annual Conference of the Japan Atomic Industrial Forum.

For more than 50 years, the Forum has successfully promoted the peaceful, safe and efficient use of nuclear power in Japan, helping to make this country one of the most advanced users of nuclear technology in the world.

But the JAIF has always looked well beyond Japan´s borders and engaged actively in international cooperation. The presence of distinguished high-level participants from many different countries at this conference is testimony to that.

I commend the JAIF for its active support of the IAEA and involvement in a broad range of our activities. Japan is a generous supporter of newcomers to nuclear energy, sharing its expertise and experience and providing practical assistance. As Director General of the IAEA, I am especially grateful for this.

Ladies and gentlemen,

Today, I would like to speak to you about some of the challenges, as well as the opportunities, which we at the IAEA face in our work. The IAEA is widely referred to as the world´s "nuclear watchdog." As you know, this does not do justice to the full range of the activities of the IAEA. Since its establishment in 1957, the Agency has pursued two fundamental goals: preventing the spread of nuclear weapons and helping to make nuclear technologies available for peaceful applications, which includes technical cooperation.

I would like to focus on four main areas: nuclear power, nuclear safety and security, nuclear sciences and applications, and nuclear non-proliferation.

Nuclear Power

Let me start with nuclear power.

Nuclear power is enjoying growing acceptance throughout the world as a stable and clean source of energy that can help to meet energy needs and to mitigate the impact of climate change. More than 60 countries are considering introducing nuclear power to generate electricity. We expect between 10 and 25 new countries to bring their first nuclear power plants online by 2030.

The growth in nuclear power is attracting the attention of world leaders. In March, I addressed an international conference in Paris on access to civil nuclear energy, hosted by President Sarkozy. European Commission President Barrroso was also a speaker. In my talks with both leaders, I was encouraged by their commitment to making the benefits of peaceful nuclear technology more widely available throughout the world. I firmly believe that access to nuclear power should not be limited to developed countries alone. It should also be available to interested developing countries to help them lift their people out of poverty.

For some years now, the IAEA has been increasingly focussing on the needs of newcomers to nuclear power. Our goal is to assist them at every stage of the process. We provide them with advice on how to put the appropriate legal and regulatory framework in place and how to ensure the highest standards of safety, security and safeguards, as well as with know-how on the construction, commissioning, start-up and operation of nuclear reactors. The end-result, we hope, is that countries will be able to introduce nuclear power knowledgeably, profitably, safely and securely.

However, there is a limit to what the Agency alone can do to assist newcomers.

Japan has been a strong supporter of our work to help newcomers, providing extra-budgetary contributions and making cost-free experts available. Japan is one of the few countries which continued to build nuclear power plants even during the period of global stagnation in nuclear development. As one of the leading countries in the nuclear industry, it is very well-placed to share its technology and experience, accumulated over many years. Assisting newcomer States in establishing the legal and regulatory infrastructure and providing training for human development are key areas where Japan´s help can make a significant difference.

The Agency provides a useful platform and network through which Japan could play an even more proactive role in helping newcomer states. I welcome the leadership of Prime Minister Hatoyama in helping to move towards tangible progress in this regard.

The Agency, of course, continues to work closely with Japan concerning its own extensive nuclear energy activities. IAEA safeguards inspectors are kept so busy at Japan´s 55 nuclear power plants and numerous other facilities that it made sense for us to open a permanent office in Tokyo. Spent fuel management, waste disposal and decommissioning are just a few of the many other areas in which the IAEA and Japan work together. I know that many of you in this audience will, like me, be following with interest the construction of the Shimane 3 reactor not far from here.

Japan is at the forefront of innovation in nuclear technology which is essential for the future of the industry. I take a keen interest in research and development which will maximise energy efficiency, reduce risks to the environment and ease the burden on future generations of having to deal with nuclear waste.

Fast reactor technology, for example, has the potential to ensure that energy resources which would last hundreds of years with the technology we are using today will actually last several thousand years. Japan is a leader in this area. I look forward to the restart of the Monju prototype fast reactor before long.

Nuclear Safety and Security

Let me now turn to nuclear safety and security.

It is, of course, important that countries with new or expanding nuclear power programmes should ensure the highest standards of safety and security.

The Agency´s Safety Standards, which date back more than 50 years, have become the global benchmark and were adopted in a new Directive by the European Union last year. Nuclear safety has improved significantly since the shock of Chernobyl in 1986, but the risk of accidents can never be eliminated completely. We must always be vigilant.

Most of our safety work is accomplished through norm setting, peer reviews, advisory services, knowledge and experience sharing and support for capacity-building in Member States. Integrated Regulatory Review Service missions, for example, have been helping to improve regulatory effectiveness since 2006.

The Agency´s expert peer review missions have proven of immense value, bringing practitioners together to share experiences and best practices and identify weaknesses.

For obvious reasons, the issue of the seismic safety of nuclear installations is of special concern to Japan. The IAEA has been working in this area for several decades, carrying out several hundred expert missions to assess the specific needs of individual countries in seismic safety. Two years ago, we launched the International Seismic Safety Centre to help Member States in assessing external hazards such as earthquakes, as well as with site selection and evaluation. I appreciate Japan´s valuable contribution to the activities of the Centre and trust that this cooperation will continue. I also note with appreciation that Japan shared information with Member States about lessons learned from an earthquake which severely damaged the Kashiwasaki-Kariba nuclear power plant in 2007, and maintained a high level of transparency.

Helping to keep nuclear and radioactive materials secure is another growing area of our work.

Last week, I had the honour of attending the Nuclear Security Summit in Washington, chaired by President Obama. Prime Minister Hatoyama participated at the Summit as one of the leaders from 47 countries and announced very important initiatives.

It was encouraging to see such top-level attention being given to protecting nuclear and radioactive material from falling into the hands of terrorists and guarding nuclear facilities against sabotage. It was also gratifying to see the widespread recognition of the Agency´s important work in this field.

The IAEA has steadily expanded its nuclear security programme since the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in the United States. Responsibility for nuclear security rests with each sovereign state, but the IAEA can assist countries in many ways. For example, we helped to protect against possible nuclear attacks at the Beijing Olympics in 2008 and will do so again at the World Cup to be held in South Africa this year. After the recent tragic earthquakes in Haiti and Chile, the Agency helped to verify that no nuclear or radioactive material had gone missing.

We help countries to improve security at nuclear facilities and train border guards in how to detect smuggled nuclear material. We also maintain an Illicit Trafficking Database, the world´s most authoritative source of information on illicit trafficking and other unauthorised activities involving nuclear and radioactive material.

In their Final Communiqué at the Washington Summit, the heads of state and government reaffirmed the essential role of the IAEA in the international nuclear security framework and pledged to ensure that the IAEA has the resources to do its job properly.

I welcome Prime Minister Hatoyama´s statement at the Summit pledging Japan´s increased engagement in nuclear security through, among other measures, increased contributions to the IAEA nuclear security programme, and the establishment of the Integrated Support Centre for Strengthening of Nuclear Security in Asia.

Nuclear Sciences and Applications

A lesser known area of the IAEA´s activities is making advanced nuclear science and technology available to help Member States meet the basic needs of their peoples.

There are many examples. Cancer therapy is one. For my first year as Director General, I have chosen to highlight the fight against cancer in developing countries. It is not widely known that cancer has reached epidemic proportions in developing countries, where it kills 665 people every hour - nearly three times as many as in developed countries. Because of the absence of early diagnosis, most cases are detected too late for life-saving treatment. In many low-income countries, there is not a single radiation therapy machine. As a result, around 70 percent of global deaths from cancer occur in developing countries.

In September this year, we will organize a Scientific Forum devoted to cancer control in Vienna. I look forward to the participation of leading Japanese experts from the medical sector, industry and government.

Challenges in Non-Proliferation

Nuclear non-proliferation is, of course, the area of the IAEA´s work which attracts most attention. Our job is to verify that States are fully complying with their non-proliferation obligations.

The Agency has a number of important non-proliferation issues on its agenda at the moment in various regions of the world. Among these, North Korea´s nuclear programme remains a matter of serious concern in this region, as well as for the wider international community. As you may be aware, the DPRK ceased all cooperation with the Agency last year and asked our inspectors to leave. The Agency is no longer able to implement the ad hoc monitoring and verification arrangement in the DPRK.

I regard the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula as a matter of great importance. I hope that every effort will be made towards an early resumption of a diplomatic dialogue in a framework such as the Six Party Talks. The IAEA is ready to contribute to future verification arrangements if given the necessary legal authority and resources.

Conclusion

Finally, a few words on nuclear disarmament. The recent conclusion of a new START treaty between the Russian Federation and the United States is a welcome step towards a safe and peaceful world free of nuclear weapons. It is especially timely ahead of the 2010 Review Conference of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, which I will attend in a few weeks´ time.

Ladies and gentlemen,

I have given you a very broad outline of the work of the IAEA.

I believe the Agency is most effective when it pursues its dual mandate - preventing the spread of nuclear weapons and supporting the peaceful use of nuclear technology, including technical cooperation - in a balanced manner. As Director General, I will strive to maintain that balance and ensure we meet the needs of all our Member States as effectively as possible.

A number of Member States support the Agency with its programmes. This is especially important as there is a limit to what the Agency alone can do to assist newcomer states. I emphasize to you, the representatives of the nuclear industry, that Japan can play an even more proactive role in helping global development in the areas of nuclear energy, health, the environment, water and safety.

Thank you.

WE HAVE CONFIRMATION OF STUXNET IN JAPAN!
New cybervirus found in Japan
Stuxnet designed to attack off-line servers via USB memory sticks
http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/dy/national/T101004003493.htm
The Yomiuri Shimbun (Oct. 5, 2010)

Stuxnet, a computer virus designed to attack servers isolated from the Internet, such as at power plants, has been confirmed on 63 personal computers in Japan since July, according to major security firm Symantec Corp. The virus does not cause any damage online, but once it enters an industrial system, it can send a certain program out of control.  Symantec says the virus reaches the servers via USB memory sticks, and warns against the careless use of such devices.  Systems at power plants, gas stations and water facilities are not connected to the Internet to protect them from cyber-attacks.

A Symantec engineer who has analyzed the virus said it was made using advanced technology, and it is highly likely a well-funded organization, not an individual, produced it. The virus has spread throughout the globe via the Internet.  After Stuxnet finds its way onto an ordinary computer via the Internet, it hides there, waiting for a USB memory stick to be connected to the computer, when it transfers itself to the memory stick. When the USB device is then connected to a computer linked to an isolated server, it can enter the system and take control of it.  As computers that harbor Stuxnet do not operate strangely, the virus can be transferred to a memory stick inadvertently. According to the security company, the virus is designed to target a German-made program often used in systems managing water, gas and oil pipelines. The program is used at public utilities around the world, including in Japan.  The virus could cause such systems to act erratically, and it could take months to restore them to normal. The 63 infected computers found in Japan were likely infected sometime after June. According to the company, about 60 percent of the computers that have been infected with the virus were discovered in Iran. Since September, about 30,000 computers there have been found to be infected with the virus. The country's Industry and Mines Ministry has called the virus an electronic act of war. Some computers at the Iranian Bushehr nuclear power plant, which is scheduled to begin operation in October, have been infected with the virus.  A supervisor at the plant said the virus has not damaged the facility's main computer system and would not affect its planned opening. In Japan, no public utilities have been affected by the virus. Nevertheless, the Cabinet Office's National Information Security Center has urged electric power companies to exercise extreme care when using USB devices, and to scan any programs that may have been tampered with.

Don't fool yourself into thinking that someone exposing their actual weapons of mass destruction and mass deception thinks that they are gods. They are not and never will be, this is their issue to deal with not mine. Ignoring the evidence because it may lead some to believe they are gods is also an odd reason IMO.

What is the difference? Isn't this the excuse used for the BP false flag operation in the gulf that allowed over 5 million gallons of poisonous COREXIT to render the Gulf a death pool?

BTW...look at this whistle blower concerning a plant in Sweden. They have been begging for another Chernobyl for decades.

Analysis: Seawater helps but Japan nuclear crisis is not over
13 March 2011, By Scott DiSavino and Fredrik Dahl - New York/Vienna (Reuters)
http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/03/13/us-japan-quake-nuclear-seawater-idUSTRE72C40320110313

Excerpt:

Pumping seawater into troubled nuclear reactors in Japan should keep them from a catastrophic full-scale meltdown, but conditions are still so volatile that it is far too early to declare the emergency over, nuclear experts said.

It is probably the first time in the industry's 57-year history that seawater has been used in this way, a sign of how close Japan is to facing a major nuclear disaster following the massive earthquake and tsunami on Friday, according to the scientists.

Tokyo Electric Power (TEPCO) workers on Sunday were pouring seawater into two reactor cores at the coastal Fukushima Daiichi power plant and were considering using seawater on a third. Authorities have been forced to vent radioactive steam into the air to relieve pressure in the plant and reactors at the company's nearby Daini plant are also troubled.

Looks like STUXNET may have been used to hit another industry in Japan...the satellite industry...


Are Asian satellites being attacked by Stuxnet?
http://madmikesamerica.com/2010/10/are-asian-satelites-being-attacked-by-stuxnet/
by Holte Ender on Oct 11, 2010

During the second half of 2010 all three Asian space powers – China, India and Japan – suffered major satellite failures. Each failure is significant, but for different reasons. At the same time, it must be emphasized that satellite failures happen rarely.

What makes the loss of India’s Insat-4B in early July – the first Asian satellite to fail – so important is the possibility that the satellite fell victim to deliberate act of sabotage as the result of a cyber attack. This involves the very malicious “Stuxnet” worm.

In late August, the Japanese government reported that it lost its only operational synthetic aperture radar (SAR)-equipped surveillance satellite. Japan still maintains a fleet of three optical spy satellites. So, in bad weather or when night comes, Japan cannot conduct its own satellite surveillance operations.

Here again a power supply failure was the primary contributor to the satellite malfunction in question. Was there a Stuxnet connection? Thus far, malevolent software or a worm has not been mentioned as a potential source of the problem. But in late 2010, it cannot be ruled out entirely.

In early September, Chinasat-6A also known as Zhongxing 6A, ZX 6A, Sinosat-6, or Xinnuo 6 suffered a helium pressurization problem immediately after launch. This affected the operation and control of the satellite’s onboard fuel tank. For its owner, China Satellite Communications Corp of Beijing, it means that uncertainty about the operational status and projected life span of this new satellite is going to linger for some time.

The vast majority of satellites perform solidly, round-the-clock in a reliable fashion that is a source of pride for their builders. Thus, these lost Asian satellites represent the exception not the rule. Still, whether viewed as the victims of isolated mishaps or not, these errant satellites still send out powerful signals.

No one will question FEMA emergency powers now.

Oh yeah...they are running a drill in June where they will simulate the killing of over 100,000 Americans and affect over 7 million.

If Japan was a true "natural" disaster...all NLE11 plans would be cancelled.

Japan was the testbed to justify the batshit crazy NLE11
FEMA Emergency Managers Bill Sweeps Toward Final Approval While Japan In News

Under the disguise of 'financial emergency" this is how the 10 regions under FEMA is seizing state governments. Also the CIA, Army & other alphabet agencies are calling up a rare training exercise this month. Economic collapse imminent? See after 1st story.


In a party line vote, and despite impassioned speeches of protest by the body’s Democratic minority, the Michigan Senate approved legislation that threatens to take over and even dissolve local governments that refuse to balance their budgets by breaking labor contracts.

According to the law, which has already been approved in the House, the governor will be able to declare “financial emergency” in towns or school districts and appoint someone to fire local elected officials, break contracts, seize and sell assets, and eliminate services.

Under the law whole cities or school districts could be eliminated without any public participation or oversight, and amendments designed to provide minimal safeguards and public involvement were voted down.

An amendment to require Emergency Managers to hold monthly public meetings to let people know how they are governing was rejected by Senate Republicans, along with proposals to cap Emergency Manager compensation and require that those appointed to run school districts have some background in education.

Army, CIA, Canadians to train at Fort Leavenworth

Army officials are preparing to conduct what they say is a rare training event involving the U.S. military, the CIA, Canadian officers and other government agencies.

The Joint Intermediate Staff Planning Exercise will be held March 21-25 at Fort Leavenworth's Lewis and Clark Center, home of the Army Command and General Staff College.

General Electric-designed reactors in Fukushima have 23 sisters in U.S.
http://openchannel.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2011/03/13/6256121-general-electric-designed-reactors-in-fukushima-have-23-sisters-in-us
By Bill Dedman
Investigative Reporter, msnbc.com

The General Electric-designed nuclear reactors involved in the Japanese emergency are very similar to 23 reactors in use in the United States, according to Nuclear Regulatory Commission records.

The NRC database of nuclear power plants shows that 23 of the 104 nuclear plants in the U.S. are GE boiling-water reactors with GE's Mark I systems for containing radioactivity, the same containment system used by the reactors in trouble at the Fukushima Daiichi plant. The U.S. reactors are in Alabama, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Vermont.

In addition, 12 reactors in the U.S. have the later Mark II or Mark III containment system from GE. These 12 are in Illinois, Louisiana, Mississippi, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Washington state. See the full list below.

GE's Mark I containment system.

(General Electric is a parent company of msnbc.com through GE's 49 percent stake in NBCUniversal. NBCUniversal and Microsoft are equal partners in msnbc.com.)

Msnbc.com sent questions Saturday to GE Energy, asking whether the Japanese reactors differed from those of the same general design used in the U.S.

A GE spokesman, Michael Tetuan, referred all questions to the Nuclear Energy Institute, an industry trade and lobbying group. Tetuan said GE nuclear staff members in Wilmington, N.C., are focused on assisting GE employees in Japan and standing by to help the Japanese authorities if asked to help. The NEI on Sunday confirmed that the figure of 23 is correct.

The six reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi power plant, which had the explosion on Saturday, are all GE-designed boiling-water reactors, according to the anti-nuclear advocacy group Nuclear Information and Resource Service. The group says that five have containment systems of GE's Mark I design, and the sixth is of the Mark II type. They were placed in operation between 1971 and 1979.

A fact sheet from the group contends that the Mark I design has design problems, and that in 1972 an Atomic Energy Commission member, Dr. Stephen Hanuaer, recommended that this type of system be discontinued.

"Some modifications have been made to U.S. Mark I reactors since 1986, although the fundamental design deficiencies remain," NIRS said. The group has a commentary online describing what it says are hazards of boiling-water reactors: human invervention needed to vent radioactive steam in the case of a core meltdown, and problems with aging.

Since the earthquake struck Japan on Friday, the early statements by the industry's Nuclear Industry Institute have emphasized that only six plants in the U.S. have precisely the same generation of reactor design (GE boiling-water reactor model 3) as the first reactor to have trouble in Fukushima Daiichi. Problems then developed at different reactors of GE model 4.

But aside from the generation of reactor design, the following 23 U.S. plants have GE boiling-water reactors (GE models 2, 3 or 4) with the same Mark I containment design used at Fukushima, according to the NRC's online database:

   • Browns Ferry 1, Athens, Alabama, operating license since 1973, reactor type GE 4.

   • Browns Ferry 2, Athens, Alabama, 1974, GE 4.

   • Browns Ferry 3, Athens, Alabama, 1976, GE 4.

   • Brunswick 1, Southport, North Carolina, 1976, GE 4.

   • Brunswick 2, Southport, North Carolina, 1974, GE 4.

   • Cooper, Brownville, Nebraska, 1974, GE 4.

   • Dresden 2, Morris, Illinois, 1970, GE 3.

   • Dresden 3, Morris, Illinois, 1971, GE 3.

   • Duane Arnold, Palo, Iowa, 1974, GE 4.

   • Fermi 2, Monroe, Michigan, 1985, GE 4.

   • FitzPatrick, Scriba, New York, 1974, GE 4.

   • Hatch 1, Baxley, Georgia, 1974, GE 4.

   • Hatch 2, Baxley, Georgia, 1978, GE 4.

   • Hope Creek, Hancock's Bridge, New Jersey, 1986, GE 4.

   • Monticello, Monticello, Minnesota, 1970, GE 3.

   • Nine Mile Point 1, Scriba, New York, 1969, GE 2.

   • Oyster Creek, Forked River, New Jersey, 1969, GE 2.

   • Peach Bottom 2, Delta, Pennsylvania, 1973, GE 4.

   • Peach Bottom 3, Delta, Pennsylvania, 1974,  GE 4.

   • Quad Cities 2, Moline, Illinois, 1972, GE 3.

   • Vermont Yankee, Vernon, Vermont, 1972, GE 4.

 

And these 12 newer GE boiling-water reactors have a Mark II or Mark III design:

   • Clinton, Clinton, Illinois, 1987, GE 6, Mark III.

   • Columbia Generating Station, Richland, Washington, 1984, GE 5, Mark II.

   • Grand Gulf, Port Gibson, Mississippi, 1984, GE 6, Mark III.

   • LaSalle 2, Marseilles, Illinois, 1983, GE 5, Mark II.

   • Limerick 1, Limerick, Pennsylvania, 1985, GE 4, Mark II.

   • Limerick 2, Limerick, Pennsylvania, 1989, GE 4, Mark II.

   • Nine Mile Point 2, Scriba, New York, 1987, GE 5, Mark II.

   • Perry, Perry, Ohio, 1986, GE 6, Mark III.

   • River Bend, St. Francisville, Louisiana, 1985, GE 6, Mark III.

   • Susquehanna 1, Salem Township, Pennsylvania, 1982, GE 4, Mark II.

   • Susquehanna 2, Salem Township, Pennsylvania, 1984, GE 4, Mark II.

Is there any real intel out there saying they were hit by a Stuxnet attack? How would someone get into the facility to load it on their systems?

[John_Back_From_The_Club_O]

The NWO will most likely use this to kill ALL nuke plants from being built.  Even though G,E. (a Herriman company.) should have never built this type of plant in such a heavy earthquake zone to begin with.

Is there any real intel out there saying they were hit by a Stuxnet attack? How would someone get into the facility to load it on their systems?

DARPA has sent in a few human flesh eating Cheetahs to retrieve the intel. Briefings at Iron Mountain are scheduled for February 30th of next year.
