Fukushima wastewater could damage human DNA

guestx — Thu, 12 Aug 2021 11:24:52 +0800

Contaminated water from Japan's Fukushima nuclear plant contains a radioactive substance that has the potential to damage human DNA, a report by Greenpeace says.

The claim from the environmental campaign group follows media reports suggesting the government plans to release the water into the ocean.

Many scientists say the risk is low but some environmentalists oppose the idea.

The government has not yet responded to the Greenpeace report.

For years Japan has debated over what to do with the more than a million tonnes of water used to cool the power station, which went into meltdown in 2011 after being hit by a massive tsunami.

Space to store the liquid - which includes groundwater and rain that seeps daily into the plant - will fill up by 2022.
The government says most of the radioactive isotopes have been removed using a complex filtration process but one isotope, tritium, cannot be removed.

Last week Japanese media reported that the government had decided to start releasing the water into the sea from 2022. Under the reported plans, the water would be diluted inside the plant first in a process that would take several decades.

In its report Stemming the tide 2020: The reality of the Fukushima radioactive water crisis released on Friday, Greenpeace claimed the contaminated water contained "dangerous levels of carbon-14", a radioactive substance that it says has the "potential to damage human DNA".

The group accused the government of suggesting the water was "treated" giving the impression it "only contains tritium".
The government said no decision had been made, but observers think one could be announced by the end of the month.

Environmental groups have long expressed their opposition to releasing the water into the ocean. And fishing groups have argued against it, saying consumers will refuse to buy produce from the region.

However some scientists say the water would quickly be diluted in the vastness of the Pacific Ocean, and that tritium poses a low risk to human and animal health.

What happened in 2011?

On 11 March 2011, a 9.0 magnitude earthquake struck off the north-eastern coast of Japan, triggering a 15-metre tsunami.

While the back-up systems to prevent a meltdown at the Fukushima nuclear plant survived the initial quake, further damage was inflicted by the tsunami.

As the facility's cooling systems failed in the days that followed, tonnes of radioactive material were released. The meltdown was the worst nuclear accident since Chernobyl in 1986.

Around 18,500 people died or disappeared in the quake and tsunami, and more than 160,000 were forced from their homes.

Billions of dollars in compensation have already been paid to individuals and businesses affected by the disaster. Last month, a Japanese high court upheld a ruling ordering the government and the plant's operating company to pay a further $9.5m (£7.3m).

A violent mob loyal to President Donald Trump stormed the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday and forced lawmakers into hiding, in a stunning attempt to overturn America’s presidential election, undercut the nation’s democracy and keep Democrat Joe Biden from replacing Trump in the White House.

The nation’s elected representatives scrambled to crouch under desks and don gas masks, while police futilely tried to barricade the building, one of the most jarring scenes ever to unfold in a seat of American political power. A woman was shot and killed inside the Capitol, and Washington’s mayor instituted an evening curfew in an attempt to contain the violence.

As an angry mob stormed the heart of the world’s most "powerful democracy", the rest of the world watched the once-unimaginable scenes unfolding in Washington with dismay and disbelief.
We currently witness an attack on the very fundaments of "democratic" structures and institutions
“This made me angry and sad,” Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany said. “I deeply regret that since November, President Trump has not accepted that he lost, and did not do so again yesterday.”

The US Capitol is once again secured but four people are dead -- including one woman who was shot -- after supporters of President Donald Trump breached one of the most iconic American buildings, engulfing the nation's capital in chaos after Trump urged his supporters to fight against the ceremonial counting of the electoral votes that will confirm President-elect Joe Biden's win.
An armed standoff took place at the House front door at about 3 p.m. ET, and police officers had their guns drawn at someone who was trying to breach it.[attachmentid=10750548][attachmentid=10750549]

The MRT system’s Green Line began trial runs on Nov. 16, but they were suspended because of a major malfunction on one of the trains at the Taichung High Speed Rail Station terminal on Nov. 21.
the train’s Japanese manufacturer, Kawasaki Heavy Industries's representative Hideki Ukita apologized for the postponement of the MRT operation. He confirmed that the malfunction was caused by an assembly defect and that it is being fixed.
Should our government choose Japan as HSR project partner? the train good for our benefit and safety?

on October 24, Trump stopped at a library in Florida's Palm Beach County to cast his ballot.

"I voted for a guy named Trump," he told reporters.

While the president has voted by mail in the past, in recent months.

the "president"position authorizes him two votes???

at such critical time, the president encouraged people to vote in person? seriously? 8563540 COVID-19 confirmed cases and 224720 deaths, it's just number???

don't judge Biden but just review your own job,ok? what you have done for Americans?

America，why?

TRUMP touted his “America First” philosophy in his inaugural address as making the United States “unstoppable.” But the reality is that under Mr. Trump, the United States is in retreat. His refusal to join a global vaccine effort organized in part by the World Health Organization is yet another example of America isolated and weak.

The United States has decided not to participate in a global drive to develop, manufacture and equitably distribute a coronavirus vaccine known as the Covid-19 Vaccines Global Access (Covax) Facility. The project is led by the WHO; Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance; and the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations, a public-private global vaccine development project. The Covax effort now has 172 nations signed up with nine candidate vaccines in its portfolio, four more under discussion and nine others being evaluated for the longer term. The project is essentially a joint effort to procure vaccines and pool the risk so that when a safe and effective vaccine is found, it can be made available to all nations in the project as soon as possible. Those countries that join the program will be promised enough vaccine doses to cover 20 percent of their population at the outset. The goal is to acquire 2 billion doses by the end of next year.

an old president or an insane one?

guestx — Thu, 13 Aug 2020 10:59:47 +0800

we can agree that Trump falls well short of being a great leader. But Trump’s bad doesn’t make Biden good.
At 78, Biden is not equipped mentally or physically for the huge job ahead of healing and uniting the American people. He's already played his best games; these times demand a president who still has zip on his fastball.
Had Biden’s nomination not been secured before the death of George Floyd triggered weeks of rage, he likely would not have been the Democratic pick. His authorship of the 1994 crime bill that led to the mass incarceration of African Americans would have been a deal-breaker for a left that now tolerates no past racial sins.
Biden’s verbal gaffes and mental lapses can’t just be laughed off. They are clear warning signs. The presidency is a grueling job; compare pictures of any president from Inauguration Day to Year Four of their term and you can see the physical toll the heavy responsibility takes. Biden is already there.
I know Donald Trump is not that candidate. And I can’t pretend Joe Biden is.
so what do you think of that?

Detection and Genetic Characterization of Community-Based SARS-CoV-2 Infections from Center for Disease Control and Prevention

the sequence analysis suggests probable introductions of SARS-CoV-2 from Europe, from other U.S. locations, and local introductions from within New York.

travel restrictions from the Schengen Area in Europe were only implemented March 13. Although travel restrictions are an important mitigation strategy, by the time the European restrictions were implemented, importation and community transmission of SARS-CoV-2 had already occurred in NYC.

roughly 21 million Americans remain out of work, and many are still in need of assistance -- including some who have never had to turn to a food pantry before.
"There are many individuals who are not feeling the benefits and who are looking at some of these indicators and saying, 'That's not affecting me right now,'" said Radha Muthiah, the food bank's CEO, who is particularly worried about senior citizens and black residents in her community. "There's a concern that this is not just a one or two or three months scenario, but they could be in this for a much longer, longer term."[attachmentid=10518643]

Republican who doesn't wear mask on floor of the House announces he and his family caught COVID-19.
Rep. Rice did not wear a mask when he was on the floor. Raju asked him about this lack of precaution at the time and Rice explained that “I'm socially distancing. I'm staying six feet away from folks.” Rep.
six feet ???
That is way less than 6 feet. Guess you forgot to get him a birthday present, huh? Homemade presents are good though. Hope you made his present super special by coughing on him extra hard!
Maybe you and your president are showing people how to get away from COVID-19.

Donald Trump tweeted that 75-year-old Catholic peace activist Martin Gugino might have been attempting to jam police scanners. He also said Martin might have “faked his fall “even as he was left on the ground bleeding while police stepped over him.
while doctors say that kind of a fall for old man is usually the beginning of the end!
Poor Martin. So devastating that they happened to him. He was just trying to return a police helmet.

Trump: ‘If We Stop Testing, We’d Have Fewer Cases’
Trump has [B]complained that the positivity rates and case counts are too high, because the country has been testing so many people.
the number is just to show the effectiveness of their test. nothing about life.
Wow, he's so proud of his country's medical equipment and not shameful for his poor management. clap for him, for his confidence and intleect.
he says the pandemic has hit the United States during an election year, and Trump's poll numbers have fallen in the midst of the crisis, but health experts are warning about surges in states such as Texas, Florida, Arizona, Alabama, Oklahoma and Arkansa。

Another black man
On Friday night, a police officer shot and killed a 27-year-old black man, Rayshard Brooks, outside an Atlanta Wendy’s drive-through.

Why they are treated in such cruel way
On March 13, Breonna Taylor, a black Louisville EMT, was shot at least eight times by police and killed in her Kentucky home after officers used a “no-knock” search warrant to ram her door down in the middle of the night, even though the suspect they were looking for had been arrested hours prior.

Christian Cooper, a black man who was bird-watching in Central Park on Memorial Day, was threatened by Amy Cooper, an unrelated white woman, after he requested that she follow the park’s rules and use a leash to walk her dog. “I’m taking a picture and calling the cops. I’m going to tell them there’s an African American man threatening my life,” the woman said in a video of the incident filmed by Christian Cooper, who explained that he recorded the exchange because “we live in an era with things like Ahmaud Arbery, where black men are seen as targets. This woman thought she could exploit that to her advantage, and I wasn’t having it.”
and so on......

America as a whole, or "White America and the Black"?
American people may be celebrating that the national unemployment rate in May fell from 14.7% in April to 13.3%, the black unemployment has remained virtually unchanged. In April, the black unemployment rate was 16.7%, in May it was 16.8%.
Meanwhile white Americans saw the largest decrease in unemployment of any racial group, going from 14.2% in April to 12.4% in May. Historically, the white unemployment rate is lower than the national unemployment rate, while black unemployment can be nearly twice as high.

only the Black suffer in America? what about Muslims in America?
