Fukushima Japan totally out of control
Published on May 3, 2016
Totally out of control. It is in the ground water and is spilling into the Pacific Ocean. Scientist say 500 rem an hour will kill you! The radiation levels are so high that they can’t measure. They say that the radiation leaking is at least 1000 rim or higher that would give you a lethal dose of radiation in 30 to 45 minutes! Think about this! You could leave your clothes inside the reactor come put those same clothes on and it would kill you!

Biggest Disater In Human History – Fukushima Nuclear Disaster – New National Geographic Documentary
Published on Feb 20, 2016
The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster (福島第一原子力発電所事故 Fukushima Dai-ichi (About this sound pronunciation) genshiryoku hatsudensho jiko?) was an energy accident at the Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant, initiated primarily by the tsunami of the Tōhoku earthquake on 11 March 2011.[6] The damage caused by the tsunami produced equipment failures, and without this equipment a loss-of-coolant accident followed with three nuclear meltdowns and releases of radioactive materials beginning on 12 March.[7] It is the largest nuclear disaster since the Chernobyl disaster of 1986 and the second disaster (after Chernobyl) to be given the Level 7 event classification of the International Nuclear Event Scale.[8]
The plant comprised six separate boiling water reactors originally designed by General Electric (GE) and maintained by the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO). At the time of the earthquake, reactors 4, 5 and 6 were shut down in preparation for re-fueling.[9] However, their spent fuel pools still required cooling.[10] Immediately after the earthquake, the electricity producing reactors 1, 2 and 3 automatically shut down their sustained fission reactions, inserting control rods in what is termed a SCRAM. Following this legally mandated “safety precaution” which ceases the reactors’ normal running conditions, the reactors were unable to generate power to run their own coolant pumps. Emergency diesel generators came online, as designed, to power electronics and coolant systems, all of which operated right up until the tsunami destroyed the generators for reactors 1–5 due to their location in unhardened low-lying areas. The two generators cooling reactor 6 were undamaged and were sufficient to be pressed into service to cool the neighboring reactor 5 along with their own reactor, averting the overheating issues that reactor 4 suffered.[10]

Trade wars: Trump exploiting TPP schism within the DNC
Published on Jun 28, 2016
If Donald Trump is going to win the White House, he’ll need every male white worker in America to vote for him, which is perhaps the reason he’s so heavily scrutinized the issue affecting that demographic the most: trade. Meanwhile, the schism of the TPP within the Democratic Party is in full view after the party rejected both Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton’s objections to the deal. For more on the ongoing trade war within the party, conservative commentator Gina Loudon and radio host Joe Madison join “News With Ed.”
