Defending the Truth

Leak at Japan nuclear plant bigger than first announced!

KASHIWAZAKI, Japan — A top power company official defended safety standards at an earthquake-ravaged nuclear plant Wednesday, even as the company said a radioactive leak was bigger than first reported and the mayor ordered the plant be shut down until its safety could be confirmed.

Plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Co. announced that a leak of radioactive water into the Sea of Japan was actually 50 per cent bigger than initially announced Monday night. But the levels were still well below danger levels, it said.

"We made a mistake in calculating the amount that leaked into the ocean. We apologize and make correction," the statement said. Spokesman Jun Oshima said the amount was still "one-billionth of Japan's legal limit."

Israel's nuke leak threatening ME

Probable explosion in Israel's Dimona nuclear plant may be more tragic than Chernobyl ‎nuclear disaster
A Jordanian expert in nuclear physics has warned that radioactive substances leaking from Israeli nuclear reactors are threatening the region.
"Radioactive leak from Israel's Dimona nuclear reactor coupled with the regime's nuclear waste buried in Jordan are posing serious hazards to not only people in Jordan but also in other regional states, including Egypt and Palestine," Iran's Fars news agency quoted Nabil Atoum as saying on Tuesday.
The expert drew an analogy between the humanitarian and ecological catastrophe caused by the Russian reactor Chernobyl two decade ago and the probable nuclear tragedy that can be caused by the vulnerable Dimona reactor, warning this could set off a "new Zionist Holocaust".
He cautioned that the magnitude of an Israeli reactor catastrophe can be even greater than Russia's Chernobyl.
Atoum said Amman has admitted it has no immediate solution to deal with a probable catastrophe at Israel's Dimona nuclear plant, and called for international mediation and an investigation into the Israeli regime's nuclear activities.
Meanwhile, Ali Hatr, a member of Jordan's Resistance Committee exclaimed that although Jordanian officials are aware of the contamination, they have made no efforts to avert a nuclear disaster.
He expressed serious doubts over Jordan's ability to control such disaster on its own. "Even the former Soviet Union, which was a far greater power than Jordan, could not control the contamination caused by the Chernobyl reactor meltdown," he compared.
The Zionist regime possesses the Middle East's only nuclear arsenal with at least 200 nuclear warheads. Months ago, prime minister Ehud Olmert admitted that Israel has nuclear arms, abandoning the ambiguity policy Tel Aviv had adopted over its nuclear weapons for decades.
