I must say that I think I won’t be writing much more in this blog because now I do not know what to write. I just want to thank you people from around the world who have visited this blog.

I hope each person takes its own conclusions from Fukushima. I hope that the disaster of Fukushima makes us think about the power of nature and how dangerous the human can be to nature and to humankind.

Some minutes ago I read that Japan plans to submit a bid for the Olympic Games 2020. At first I was quite happy with the news. A country with such a disaster still has courage to look into the future and want to host the Olympic Games.

But some minutes later, I was not so happy with the bid because the tragedy in Japan has ben so great that I think that it is a bit unfair for the other cities the bid from Japan. If Japan gets the Olympic Games you always could think that it won because of the tsunami and I don’t find nice to try to take advantage from a disgrace.

Anyway, I have to think over about it. Besides the idea is not new. And that is a good reason for Tokyo to submit! I wish them well!

Today I read that tonnes of highly radioactive water from the Fukushima plant will be dumped into the Pacific Ocean.

As a part of human kind I feel quite ashamed because this dumping means a total lack of respect not just for humankind but for nature in general. Plants and fish who live near Fukushima will die because of this radiation. If the animals could speak about the humans I am sure they will see as the most disgusting animals on earth.

I feel very disgusted with human kind. With disasters like the Fukushima one I am sure that the worst that has happened to the Earth is the existence of humankind.

They have discovered that Fukusima is leaking highly radioactive water into the sea.

On the other hand I have read they had found dead two workers that were missing.

I also have heard that some workers at Fukushima will die soon. So, now I understand why some support nuclear energy: there will always be somebody else who would die in order for us to have electricity. So, now we know how nice the nuclear energy is: it needs that its workers commit suicide if necessary.

As maybe everybody around the globe I follow the news about Fukushima through my local news (I also follow Japan Times, BBC and THE GUARDIAN)

On TV quite oft there is a special program of a few minutes that talks about Fukushima. I imagine that maybe something similar may happen in Australia, India, France, Germany, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Cuba or the US.

In these special programs I see a journalist and a scientist talking about the Fukushima disaster. And when I see what happens I imagine that this maybe happening around the globe!

And what happens?

What happens is that the journalist and the scientist seem to come from two different planets! The scientist normally is a Nuclear Physics teacher at University or somebody who works in Nuclear Safety agency or sometimes in a hospital and knows about radiation.

I have realised that the journalist and the scientist seem to speak diferent languages. It is true that sometimes the scientist explains himself – they are normally men – quite well, but sometimes you have the feeling that he feels uncomfortable. On the other hand the journalist sometimes seem to me to be asking some questions that are non-sense.

For example, the journalists asks if radiation has already reached our country? Then the scientist says that radiation has reached the country but in a ridiculous way. I think that in this case the journalist is not informing us but just bringing more chaos. This is not what a journalist should do. A journalist that makes an interview to a scientist it seems to me that the first thing that has to do is to read a lot about the subject! So that the questions have a meaning! So, the journalist has to know a bit. A say that because when I see the interview I have the feeling that the interview it is been done in a very wrong way!

I dislike that some people do not give importance to nuclear dangers but I also dislike people who act in an irrational way. The quantity that one gets in an x-ray is much much bigger that the quantity of radiation that is reaching Tokyo or any country. So, I find sad that some journalists translate their lack of knowledge to the public by emphasizing wrong questions.

The problem with Fukushima is not at all the radiation that is detected thousands of kilometers away – it is important for science but it is not a danger because is so small. The problem with Fukushima is that the world is full of nuclear plants and we rely on them to live as we live.

When I was a small boy, one day I passed with a bycicle near a Nuclear Power Station. My bycicle punch and I had to change the tyre. I remember I was almost crying. I was so afraid to be next to the nuclear plant. I thought it may explode at any moment or that I would get so much radiation that I would get sick.

Well, I still consider that nuclear energy is a danger but now I realise I should have not been so afraid. Nuclear energy can be very dangerous but this didn’t mean I was going to die just because I was near the plant for two minutes. I had been very irrational.

So, I think that when we talk about nuclear energy it is necessary we know more about the risks.

And with some journalists who bring more fear than necessary or scientists that try to use its superior knowledge of nuclear physics to try to give an image of nuclear energy is safe I think we have to move forward.

Well, I hope one day the journalists know more about science and scientists know more about how to express them to a general public.

Today I hear that the WSJ writes about an email that a worker in Fukushima sends to another worker in Tokyo of TEPCO.

I also hear thare has been smoke in turbines in FUKUSHIMA 2.

Now they are talking about a lasting solution for Fukushima.

A nuclear power plant head is in hospital.

I still remeber when people were relocated. The first hours the relocation was for people around 3 km from Fukushima nuclear plant. Then it was 10 km. Then it was 20 km. And then it was 30 km.

What we did not know then is that the relocation could be FOR YEARS TO COME!

If you consider how densely polulated is Japan is not at all good news. I imagine that in Chernobyl area some people wer also relocated but Ukraine is a big country. Japan is quite small and full of people. Full of people.

In this news about PLUTONIUM FIND they mention the word RELOCATION:

it seems we will have to wait to know the levels of Plutonium around the Fukushima plant. I do not know why they do not release the levels right now. Plutonium is so dangerous that maybe the earlier we know the better. Let’s remember that reactor number three uses MOX.
