| Japan declares nuclear no-go zone |
| 2011-04-22 |
| [Al Jazeera] Japan has declared a 20km area evacuated around the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant a no-go zone. Yukio Edano, the country's chief cabinet secretary, said on Thursday that the order would take effect from midnight local time on Friday (1500GMT on Thursday), and was aimed at preventing unrestricted entry into an area that has been largely deserted since an evacuation order first went out following the March 11 earthquake and tsunami. Under Japan's Disaster Countermeasures Basic Law, anyone who enters the zone will be subject to fines of up to 100,000 yen ($1,200) and possible arrest. Before the measure was enacted, defiance of the government's evacaution was not punishable by law. "We beg the understanding of residents. We really want residents not to enter the areas," Edano said. "Unfortunately, there are still some people in the areas." Edano termed the plant's condition as "not stable". "[The declaration] reflects a growing worry from the Japanese government that people have been getting into this area much too easily and without enough caution," reported Harry Fawcett, Al Jizz's correspondent in Sendai. "The evacuation zone has been off-limits in terms of people living in their homes ... but police around the checkpoints bordering it haven't been able to ... prevent people from coming in. All they've been able to do is take licence plate numbers and instruct people to get a radiation check when they come out." |

| #3 FREEREPUBLIC > JAPAN ANNOUNCES NEW NUCLEAR EVACUATION ZONE [up to 39-kms from Fukushima #1]. FREEP POSTER - opined that... > MELTDOWN OF FUEL ASSEMBLIES [rods] HAS OCCURRED. > CONTAINMENT HAS BEEN BREACHED, + TEPCO etal. is seemingly having lots of trouble trying to first seal the breach + then ultimately impose new Containment. > HENCE, TOXINS ARE CONTINUING TO SPILL OUT AT INCREASINGLY HIGH RATES INTO THE ENVIRONMENT. Its NOT clear when or iff any of the desired outcomes as per Seal, Containment, or Shutdown, etc. will be achieved. IIUC, THE BEST ONE CAN SAY AT THIS TIME IS THAT FUKUSHIMA IS "NOT CHERNOBYL" YET, BUT THE DANGER OF IT BECOMING A CHERNOBYL, OR WORSE, IS STILL THERE. The Soviets at Chernobyl didn't have GLOBAL WARMING = GWCC, NOR GWCC-INDUCED ACTIVE EQ/SEISMIC ZONES + NEW FAULT LINES, ETC. TO CONTEND WITH. Japan's status, credibility as a TOP-TIER GLOBAL ECON POWER, + ITS VERY EXISTENCE AS A JAPANESE + SOVEREIGN NATION-STATE IS AT THREAT. The irony is that its MOTHER NATURE = NATURAL FORCES + "DIVINE/RISING SUN" [Japan flag] that may ultimately destroy Japan as a place safe for Human Habitation, NOT MAN-MADE NUCLEAR WEAPONS [Geopol = Human Warfare] OR GODZILLA. * CHIN MILBLOGGERS > ABANDONMENT OF JAPAN BY JAPANESE DUE TO RADIATION POISONING + ENVIRON DESTRUCTION IS GOOD FOR CHINA BECUZ .... > CHINA GETS ITS AIR-SEAPORTS FOR THE PLAN, PLAAF, + TRADE INTO WESTPAC = DEEP PACIFIC. > CHINA GETS A NEW PROVINCE = VASSAL STATE, TO INCLUDE RECOVERY OF OKINAWA = FORMER PRO-CHIN RYUKYUS KINGDOM, espec iff Chin unilater "cleans up" Japan's poisoned environ for Japanese. > RECOVERY + RE-UNIFICATION WID TAIWAN, DOMINATION OF TWO KOREAS = SOUTH KOREA ALL BUT GUARANTEED. > RETREAT OF US MIL POWER BACK TOWARDS GUAM + HAWAII, BOTH OF WHICH ARE NOW SUBJECT TO PLA MILSTRIKE, NUCSTRIKE. 'Tis actually US Rollback towards HAWAII + US WEST COAST becuz any LT Chin takeover of Japan also includes takeover of JAPANESE-CONTROLLED BONIN ISLANDS NORTH OF GUAM + CNMI. The fun for US-China relations doesn't end becuz, lest we fergit, HAWAII IS CLOSE TO SEVERAL PROJECTED POSSIBLE EARTH IMPACTS AS PER COMET APOPHIS 2029/30-2036. IOW, PEARL HARBOR NB/JOB + US PACOM IS SAFE FOR THE US = USDOD PURPOSES UNTIL 2029/30-2036. SUB-IOW, THE US HAS A VESTED INTEREST IN MAKING SURE THAT THE GWCC + SPACE DEFENSE PERT MATH IS ABSOLUTELY + UNDENIABLY CORRECT, CERTAIN, + "PERFECT" = "PERFECTO MUNDO/MUCHO PERFECTO" AS PER COMET APOPHIS. Shall we bring up the YELLOWSTONE SUPER-CALDERA andor NEW MADRID??? To paraph AL PACINO again in "DEVIL'S ADVOCATE" > "THE MAN UPSTAIRS [God] IS THE GREATEST VOYEUR + CRIMINAL = POPCORN EATER, ETC. OF ALL OF US"! |

| #2 Interesting factoids as always, Joe (re: American Civil War, etc.) The East Sea does sound rather poetic, and it would be a nice concession by Japan. But methinks Japan is feeling rather down now -- so maybe next year... |
