March 11th will mark the third year since the Fukushima meltdown occurred and experts on nuclear disasters Janette D. Sherman, MD and Joseph Mangano are warning the US to shut down its dangerous nuclear power plants.

The two specialists teamed up to give their analysis on Japan’s region that has been left in such a perilous state.

News has come out that Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and huge Japanese corporations have their eyes set on reopening the 50 other power plants that shut down because of the Fukushima fallout. The other nuclear facilities have been called a source of cheap power.

Japan promises safety in building new nuclear plant

WTF? Japanese Abe promises nuclear safety in Turkey? ........$&-@#%<|*£¥!&%#!.......
3/5/2013

ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Japan's prime minister said Friday that his country has learned lessons from the Fukushima nuclear disaster and will offer the "highest level of safety" when it builds Turkey's second nuclear plant.

Turkey chose a Japanese-French consortium for the construction of a nuclear reactor on Turkey's Black Sea coast. An agreement was signed during Shinzo Abe's visit to Ankara on Friday.

Abe, speaking through an interpreter, told reporters: "We have carried our experience in nuclear security to the highest level through lessons learned from past accidents and risks."

Turkey's Energy Ministry said the country will begin negotiations with Japan's Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and France's Areva. The 5,000-megawatt capacity plant is expected to cost $22 billion and be operational in 2023.

Russia is constructing Turkey's first plant in Akkuyu, which will begin test production in 2019.＂HTTP://www.local15tv.com/news/world/story/Japan-promises-safety-in-building-new-nuclear-plan/t41IU8LF0ki78u-DMNodPw.cspx

Japan resumes beef exports to U.S. after 2-yr halt

TOKYO | Fri Aug 24, 2012 2:44am EDT

Aug 24 (Reuters) - Japan is set to resume from Friday beef exports to the United States suspended since April 2010 after foot-and-mouth disease was found in Japanese cows, a farm ministry official said, paving the way for Wagyu Beef to reach U.S. gourmets.

Washington has given the green light for Japanese cattle slaughtered on Aug. 18 or later to enter the world's biggest market, after a review of Japan's food safety measures allayed its worries about the chance of radioactive contamination.

Earlier this week, a Japanese farm official had signalled the export schedule might be disrupted after Washington asked for details of Tokyo's food safety measures.

"The U.S. Department of Agriculture made a review of our radiation safety measures and gave a nod to it, so the timing to slaughter for exports remains unchanged," the official said.

The United States has set curbs, generally in line with Japan's domestic measures, on the import of other food products from Japan to protect against radioactive contamination since the Fukushima nuclear crisis sparked by last year's devastating earthquake and tsunami.

Before Japan's outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease, beef exports stood at 565 tonnes in 2009, 72 tonnes of which was bought by the United States.

Although there is no trade data on the type of beef exported, an export value of 4,000 yen to 6,000 yen ($51 to $77) per kg and a survey of exporters suggest most of the beef exported was wagyu, another ministry official said.

The United States has given Japan's beef a clean bill of health on the foot-and-mouth concerns. Japan is also reviewing its curbs on U.S. beef imports as global concern over mad cow disease ebbs.
