How do you trade the news in forex trading?




A lot of people have been asking on how to trade the news.
although i strongly do not recommend just trading based on news only, but here’s some pointer.
1. News are categorised into the level of impact. low, medium, high
just like the word high, high impact news can change the trend of the market. changing a downtrend into an uptrend and vice versa.
some medium impact news do have such capability too.
2. watch out for the upcoming important news weekly and daily.
and note which pair will the news affect.
3. if you are in a position and there will be an upcoming high impact news in 2hrs time.
take either half your profits first as the market will start going frenzy usually 2hrs before the news. shift your stoploss to breakeven. this way, if you are going long and the news impact reversed the market, you still got half your profits and broke even on the other half.
4. if you are not already in position before the news. wait for 10 mins after the news is out before entering. as in the first 10 mins, you will see price go spiking around and it happens alot of time when once the news is out, price goes spiking up real fast. you will be there thinking if you don’t catch the boat now, you are going to miss a hell lots of pips. and when you got in at the high, price went spiking even faster downwards. what the..?!
did this happen before to you? Don’t worry,it happens to every one.
this is how the market works.
one reason is that when the news is out, major players throw in a sum of money enough to move the market up. when people sees the market moving up, they jump in to push it even higher as they went in with the ‘fake’ movement. the major players then wait for price to go up high enough and then they step in to throw in large influx of money to short it. gaining great amount of pips in a short period of time. i know this happens, and it happens a lot of times.
the other reason is that, the market is based on sentiments. even though the news is positive, and people start buying it long. making the market move up. but if the general market feel that the news is not as good as expected or for some other reason. the big players and professional traders will start shorting it. leaving the losses to those who just traded on positive news.
therefore, one way to go around it is to wait for 10 mins after the news is out to evaluate the REAL market movement before entering.
but as always, i highly recommend adding price action confirmation to it. then you have a high probability winner.
i hope this article helps and leave me a comment to let me know how you feel or any additional input you would like to add are welcome.

Please put SPAG on the top of your watch list for Wednesday morning. This is a very rare find on gold play that could be sky rocketed due to flow float. This stock appears to be huge profit opportunity for traders. This is an extremely rare find!

Buying physical gold is for China and suckers to lock in really big gains and you should consider Spartan Gold (SPAG.OB) immediately.

SPAG is a junior gold exploration and mining company with gold exploration and development activity centered in both the Carlin-Rain and Round Mountain-Northumberland Gold Trends in Nevada. It is true that right now gold stocks are a better bet than bullion. And there might be no better leveraged gold stock than Spartan Gold.

Projected revenues for SPAG will grow from $3.6 Million in 2011 to $41.3 Million in 2015! If you don't have your calculator handy that is an 11-fold increase in revenues. And if there is one thing bullion investors love it is rising revenues and falling debt.

Estimated probable gold reserves of a whopping 4.1 Million ounces! Do the math and you find that SPAG has estimated probable gold reserves of $6 BILLION! That is at today's price of $1,542 per ounce. If gold rises to $3,000 per ounce; than this start-up will start to resemble a gold mammoth with gold assets worth more than $12 billion.

May 16, 2012 - GSN - NNSA measuring background radiation over Baltimore - The agency in charge of national nuclear security and incident response is flying a helicopter over the city of Baltimore to conduct background radiation checks in the city between May 14 and 16. National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) officials said on May 11 that the radiation assessment of naturally-occurring levels of radiation will cover approximately 10 square miles and it would complete the assessment operations using a helicopter equipped with remote gamma radiation sensing technology. The helicopter will fly in a grid pattern over the areas, 300 feet (or higher) above the ground surface, at a speed of approximately 80 miles per hour, said the agency. The agency explained that the measurement of naturally occurring radiation to establish baseline levels is a normal part of security and emergency preparedness. NNSA said is making the public aware of the upcoming flights so that citizens who see the low-flying aircraft wouldn’t be alarmed. The NNSA’s Remote Sensing Laboratory (RSL) out of Andrews Air Force Base will be performing the assessment, it said.



May 16, 2012 - Yomiuri Shimbun - Cesium found in silt of Tokyo Bay increasing - Radioactive cesium measured in samples of silt taken from Tokyo Bay has increased to 1.5-13 times the amount detected in similar samples last August, according to a survey conducted by Kinki University. The cesium is believed to have entered the bay via rivers after its release from the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant following last year's accidents there. The research group led by Prof. Hideo Yamazaki analyzed silt samples taken on April 2 at three places in the bay, including one place near the estuary of the Arakawa river. Samples taken from a one-meter-deep layer of silt contained 7,305-27,213 becquerels per square meter, up from 578-18,242 becquerels announced on Aug. 20 last year after a similar survey. Samples taken from a six-centimeter- deep layer contained 321-397 becquerels per kilogram of silt, up from the previous 75-320 becquerels. Cesium apparently accumulated in the silt of rivers and entered the bay gradually, the researchers said.



May 16, 2012 - Associated Press - Boxer presses NRC on questions at Calif nuke plant - California Sen. Barbara Boxer is pushing federal regulators for details about the troubled steam generators at the idled San Onofre nuclear power plant. Boxer asked Nuclear Regulatory Commission Chairman Gregory Jaczko Tuesday for documentation on design changes to the generators, and how the federal agency reviewed them. The twin reactors have been shut down for more than three months while investigators look into damage to hundreds of tubes inside the massive generators.



May 16, 2012 - News Tribe - Kodak admits it had weapons-grade uranium in lab - Kodak, the company known for decades for its cameras and film, this week confirmed it used weapons-grade uranium in an underground lab in upstate New York for upwards of 30 years. A company spokesman and a former scientist for the firm say there was not enough material to sustain a nuclear chain reaction. Former Kodak researcher Albert Filo said the uranium was alloyed with aluminum in plates sealed in sleeves that were not moved for three decades. The amount of fuel was about 3½ pounds, which experts say is less than one-tenth of the amount necessary to make a crude nuclear device. The alloyed material “could not be readily converted to make a nuclear weapon,” said Eastman Kodak spokesman Christopher Veronda. “Disassembling the device and removing these plates was a process that took highly trained experts more than a day to perform.” But advocates for preventing nuclear proliferation say it highlights the risk that terrorists could obtain enough fuel to build a nuclear device. “In this day and age, no one should be allowed to possess nuclear-weapons-usable material without providing an armed defense of that material,” said Edwin Lyman, a nuclear physicist with the Union of Concerned Scientists. “There really should be an effort to eliminate the use of materials in commercial companies that could be used by terrorists to make nuclear weapons,” he said.


May 16, 2012 - USDOE Press Release (05/15/12) - DOE Announces Transfer of Depleted Uranium to Advance the U.S. National Security Interests, Extend Operations at Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant - The Department of Energy – in collaboration with Energy Northwest (EN), the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), and USEC Inc. – today announced the finalized details of a transfer of depleted uranium to EN that will be enriched at the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant during the next year and ultimately result in fuel for EN and TVA. The transfer will deliver important benefits to U.S. national security and the Department’s cleanup missions, as well as providing commercial benefits to each of the collaborating organizations and continuing operations for a year at the Paducah site, which USEC estimates will employ over a thousand workers. “After much hard work, the Energy Department, in cooperation with the other organizations, has identified a creative path forward to utilize a portion of our depleted uranium inventory in a way that brings together the public and private sector to advance America’s national security interests at a reduced cost to taxpayers,” said Secretary Chu. “This effort will also provide benefits to electric ratepayers in two areas of the country and maintain operations at the Paducah enrichment plant, thereby avoiding costs to the Department’s cleanup program and keeping jobs in the local community.”



May 16, 2012 - Knoxville News-Sentinel - ANWAG says proposed safety changes in nuke weapons workplace 'unconscionable' - The Alliance of Nuclear Worker Advocacy Groups (ANWAG) this week strongly opposed language in the FY 2013 National Defense Authorization that would potentially change the safety standards applied in the nuclear weapons workplace. The alliance said the proposed changes, including use of OSHA standards instead of current-day DOE regulations, could ultimately reduce the protection of workers and lead to greater hazards and health impacts. "Substantial costs now being incurred (for sick nuclear workers) are ab undeniable consequence of the negligence in the past," Harry Williams and Terrie Barrie of ANWAG said in letters to Sen. Carl Levin, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, and to to Rep. Howard P. "Buck" McKeon, chairman of the House Armed Services Committee. "Does Congress want to repeat the mistakes made 60, 40, even 20 years ago?" They added: "It is unconscionable that the current dedicated and patriotic workforce would be unnecessarily exposed and subjected to increased hazards because of this proposed change in protection standards." In addition to the shift to OSHA standards, there also is reported plan to shift the general radiation protection guideline from ALARA (as low as reasonably achievable) to ALARP (as low as reasonably practicable).



May 16, 2012 - Salon - The GOP's nuke-dump donor - In the fall of 2004, Dallas-based Waste Control Specialists applied for a license to build a low-level nuclear waste dump in Andrews County, Texas, a dusty oil patch along the New Mexico border. In its filings and press releases, the company argued that the site was ideal because it sat atop “500 feet of impermeable red-bed clay,” meaning there was virtually no chance of radiation leaking out and tainting the water supply. Still, there were reasons to be wary. Maps from the Texas Water Development Board showed the site sitting directly above the Ogallala Aquifer, a massive but shallow underground reservoir, which sprawls beneath eight Great Plains states and supplies roughly a third of the nation’s irrigation water. If large quantities of radiation were to seep into this water table, the effects could be devastating. After WCS’s application came up for review, however, something curious happened: The board shifted the official boundaries of the Ogallala, a move WCS claims in its official correspondence was based partly on data the company provided, though Water Board spokeswoman Samantha Pollard argues this isn’t true. “The reevaluation stemmed from work done for the development of groundwater availability models and related projects,” she says. As it turns out, five of the board’s six members had been appointed by Gov. Rick Perry, who’s taken more than $1.2 million in campaign contributions from WCS’s owner, Harold Simmons.



May 15, 2012 - Becker's Hospital Review - Mayo Clinic Radiation Technician Pleads Guilty to Reusing Syrings on Patients - A radiation technician at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Fla., has pled guilty to reusing syringes on patients, which caused a hepatitis C outbreak, according to a News4Jax report. According to the report, Steven Beumel injected himself with Fentanyl shots intended for patients and then refilling the same syringes with saline solution. The product tampering took place from 2006 through 2008 at the Mayo Clinic's interventional radiology unit. As a result, five patients contracted hepatitis C, with one case resulting in death. The Mayo Clinic, as well as state and federal officials, partnered together for three years to determine how the hepatitis C outbreak occurred. Eventually, the infections were linked back to Mr. Beumel, who was fired by Mayo and arrested in May 2011. Last Friday, Mr. Beumel pled guilty to "tampering with a consumer product resulting in death, four counts of tampering with a consumer product resulting in serious bodily injury and five counts of stealing Fentanyl by deception" in federal court, according to the report. Mr. Beumel alleged he did not know he had hepatitis C, but the judge ruled he must have known the risks his actions posed to patients.

LOGAN COPPER ACQUIRES FORMER HIGH GRADE NORANDA GRAPHITE PROPERTY

Up to 85 % Graphite drilled

May 14, 2012

DELTA, BC, Canada – Logan Copper Inc. (the “Company”, “Logan Copper”, “LC”), (TSX.V: LC) is pleased to announce the acquisition of a third Graphite property in Quebec.

This new property, the Carheil Graphite Property (Carheil) was acquired through Quebec’s Gestim system. Carheil encompasses approximately 5,400, 100% owned, contiguous acres with no NSR or work commitment attached.

The Carheil property is located approximately 280 km NNW of Val-d’Or, QC and is approximately 120 km N of La Sarre, QC. Aurizon Mines Ltd.’s producing Casa-Berardi Gold Mine is located approximately 19 km south of LC’s Carheil property. There is an existing road crossing the property which leads to the BHP Billiton Ltd.’s past-producing Selbaie Zinc Mine which is located approximately 20 km east of LC’s Carheil property.

Mr. Thal S. Poonian, President and CEO of Logan Copper commented “LC believes that the Carheil property has the potential to become its flagship graphite property. We look forward to verifying the historical results and defining the project potential”.

A percentage (6.67% or 360 acres) of the 5,400 acre Carheil property was formerly explored by Noranda Exploration Co. Ltd. (Noranda). In August 1975 Noranda completed a geophysical survey covering approximately 300 acres of the Carheil graphite property.

Noranda completed two diamond drill holes in the surveyed area in May of 1978. The first hole was lost in overburden while the second hole number 2-78 was drilled to a depth of 497 feet. Historical diamond drill core log report number GM33862 returned results as follows:

157 – 227 feet about 5% graphite
240 – 425 feet 20 – 60% graphite
428 - 453 feet about 85% graphite

The hole was drilled at dip collar -55¬¬o and core size was AQ.

The historical, non-43-101 compliant, geophysical survey report filed with the Quebec Ministry of Natural Resources, report number GM: 31366, reported the following.

May 14, 2012 - Stuff.co.nz - Surprise police stop for radioactive motorist - A motorist in the US was surprised to be stopped by police and told he was driving a radioactive car. Turns out police in Connecticut have radioactivity detectors in a number of their patrol cars and firefighter Mike Apatow had just undergone a "nuclear stress test" because of high blood pressure. In the test, a small amount of a radioactive material is injected into the veins and used to help track blood flow to the heart. The Connecticut Post reported that though the amount of radioactive material used in the test is relatively low - equal to a few X-rays or a diagnostic CT scan - it was enough to set off a radioactivity detector in one of state's police patrol cars. Yep, that's right, the police cars have radioactivity detectors which are used to help identify potential terror threats. Apatow told the newspaper that he was surprised to be pulled over and even more surprised to learn the cars carried radioactivity detectors. "I asked the officer 'What seems to be the problem?' " Apatow said. "He said 'You've been flagged as a radioactive car.' " "I had no idea the police even had devices like that," he said. "I imagined it being like a cartoon - like I'm driving down the street and my car was glowing."



May 14, 2012 - Buffalo News - Radioactivity fear spurs survey - Property owners around the former Guterl Steel plant have been sent surveys asking whether they have water wells. If they do, testing may be ordered to see if radioactivity from the plant has leached into the ground water supplying those wells, Niagara County Environmental Health Director James J. Devald said. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers asked for the survey in the wake of findings that radioactive waste had been found in ground water leaking from the walls of the nearby Erie Canal, said Natalie Watson, an outreach official at the Corps. Trace levels of radioactive uranium were found in tests of the water on the canal walls in December. However, tests of the water in the canal itself were negative for radioactivity. The Guterl plant on Ohio Street was originally known as Simonds Saw & Steel. That company obtained a contract from the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission in 1948 to process uranium and thorium for use in nuclear weapons.


May 14, 2012 - San Diego Union-Tribune - Funding OK'd to study nuclear plant hazards - A $64 million study of potential earthquake and tsunami hazards at the oceanfront San Onofre nuclear plant is moving forward after state regulators approved funding. San Diego Gas & Electric customers will pay 20 percent of the cost, according to a decision approved Thursday by the California Public Utilities Commission. Customers of Southern California Edison, the plant operator and majority owner, will shoulder the most costs. Scripps Institution of Oceanography is leading the offshore research, developing two- and three-dimensional views of faults and other geological features hidden below the ocean floor near the plant. Similar studies are under way at the Pacific Gas & Electric-owned nuclear power plant at Diablo Canyon in San Luis Obispo County. The seismic projects should help decide if California’s two active nuclear plants are safe enough to operate into the 2040s.

May 10, 2012 - Sowetan - Long wait for sick workers - Government has failed to compensate former nuclear workers who allegedly became ill 12 years ago due to radiation and chemicals at the Phelindaba plant, near Pretoria. The workers wrote to President Jacob Zuma to intervene but he has referred them back to Energy Minister Dipuo Peters, pictured, whom it has been difficult to secure a meeting. More than 60 of the 208 aging Atteridgeville workers died poor after suffering from terminal illnesses cancer, blood and skin diseases. Some were living with respiratory problems or eye problems. The group's representative, Alfred Sepepe, who has had a cancerous testicle removed, yesterday said the remaining workers were losing hope. In a letter late last year Peters said Sepepe should take up his issues with the Nuclear Energy Corporation of SA, which then allegedly refused to investigate the matter or pay.

May 10, 2012 - Port Macquerie News - No radiocative material at highway site: report - A NSW Roads-commissioned report into the possible contamination of a section of the Pacific Highway upgrade has concluded there was no evidence that radioactive material was ever buried at the site following a 1980 crash. But at least one man still is ill after working on the site, near herons creek. Independent environmental consultant Brian Gilligan prepared the preliminary report which was released today. NSW Roads Minister Duncan Gay said the investigation included a review of events and environmental planning and approval processes before March 27 when a number of workers on the site fell ill. The Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO), which also conducted an investigation of the site, reported no indication of any abnormal radioactivity in the soil on site and removed from the site.

May 10, 2012 - Bulletin of Atomic Scientists - Special issue on the risks of exposure to low-level radiation - Every time a release of radioactivity occurs, questions arise—not only about the true exposures, but also about the health risk at low doses. Predictably, debates unfold in the news media and galvanize social media networks. Sometimes these conversations enlighten the public, but often times they only exacerbate the confusion and fear about the significance and reality of exposure. Fukushima is the latest example of this warped communications strategy. This special issue of the Bulletin examines what is new about the debate over radiation risk, specifically focusing on areas of agreement and disagreement, including quantitative estimates of cancer risk as a function of dose. In this issue, we don’t pretend to put the questions about the scientific jigsaw puzzle to rest, but we do hope to provide a sophisticated update for you, presented by people whose work has increased understanding within the field. For example, social scientist Paul Slovic updates his classic work on perception of radiation risk. Roger Kasperson, another social scientist, writes on the intriguing framework that he and colleagues developed about the social amplification of risk, which helps to explain public reactions to events like Fukushima and Chernobyl. By implication, Kasperson’s analysis raises a challenge for those who communicate risk information, whether professionally or informally. To provide information needed in a democracy, these communicators may amplify risks to the point where needless fear is generated, or they may attenuate the risks to a degree that desirable responses are avoided.


May 10, 2012 - Fort Worth Weekly - Arlington nuclear inspectors blow whistle on safety concerns - A Massachusetts congressman is calling for an investigation into the management practices of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s Arlington office after inspectors there reported retaliation against employees who pushed for aggressive safety measures. The allegations don’t refer specifically to the Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant near Fort Worth, which that office oversees, but the report says inspectors are working within a “corrosive environment” that is impairing the “effective oversight of the commercial nuclear industry.” Staff members of the Region IV division office complained of supervisor Troy Pruett, deputy director of the Division of Reactor Projects, in an April 24 letter to U.S. Rep. Edward J. Markey. The letter, signed “Region IV Staff,” alleges that Pruett has discouraged aggressive oversight of nuclear safety, especially at the Fort Calhoun nuclear power plant in Nebraska. Today, Markey sent his own strongly worded letter to Nuclear Regulatory Commission Chairman Greg Jaczko, asking him to allow an “independent organization” to fully investigate the allegations. Markey said the complaint confirmed his own fears about systemic problems within the federal agency. Those fears grew after last year’s catastrophic failure of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant in Japan, which resulted in massive evacuations, potentially lethal radiation for miles around the plant, and still-undetermined repercussions for the region.


May 10, 2012 - Associated Press - SRS pours 1 million gallons-plus of grout in effort to seal 2 radioactive underground tanks - Officials at the Savannah River Site say they have poured more than 1 million gallons of grout into two underground radioactive waste tanks. Authorities at the former nuclear weapons complex near Aiken said Wednesday that work to fill and seal the twin 1.3-million gallon tanks is now weeks ahead of schedule. Work began on the tanks on April 2 and is expected to last through late summer. One of the site's chief goals is to eliminate the danger from radioactive waste at the site that used to make nuclear bombs.




May 10, 2012 - Live Leak - Atomic Bomb Blast Effects on US Troops (Nevada,USA) 1959 - Very interesting video for any who hasn't seen it before. Nuclear testing on the effects of an atomic blast on troops. Silent film and in colour. Duration over 8 minutes. The troops relax and enjoy themselves, despite the fact they will soon be running toward a mushroom cloud. I would have given myself cancer from chain smoking before the bomb even went off. Props to these guys! The Nevada National Security Site[1] (N2S2), previously the Nevada Test Site (NTS), is a United States Department of Energy reservation located in southeastern Nye County, Nevada, about 65 mi (105 km) northwest of the city of Las Vegas. Formerly known as the Nevada Proving Grounds,[2] the site, established on 11 January 1951, for the testing of nuclear devices, is composed of approximately 1,360 sq mi (3,500 km2) of desert and mountainous terrain. Nuclear testing at the Nevada Test Site began with a 1-kilotonne-of-TNT (4.2 TJ) bomb dropped on Frenchman Flat on 27 January 1951. Many of the iconic images of the nuclear era come from NTS. The Nevada Test Site contains 28 areas, 1,100 buildings, 400 miles (640 km) of paved roads, 300 miles (480 km) of unpaved roads, ten heliports and two airstrips.



May 10, 2012 - Value Walk - Concerns Raised about X-Ray Scanners after Failed Airport Bombing - Homeland Security investigators have raised serious concerns about the effectiveness of a new generation of X-ray body scanners that are rapidly replacing conventional magnetometers at airports across the country. The swelling concerns have coincided with a foiled bomb plot. Although the exact destination where the bomb was found is disclosed, officials have assured Americans that the threat has been contained. Bomb experts are actually picking through the bomb in an attempt to understand it. This will hopefully curb any future occurrences. The thwarted bomb plot allegedly stems from the works of mastermind bomb designer Ibrahim Hassan Al-Asiri. The link up materialized after the discovered bombs exhibited some similar traits to some of Al Asiri’s previous bombs. Al Asiri is held responsible for the notorious 2009 Christmas day foiled bomb attempt. He is one of the high priority wanted persons in the CIA and arguably a high profile wanted person in multiple nations other than the U.S. This shows that Al-Qaida still has its eyes set on aviation as a primary terror target. Wired has cited an internal report sourced from the inspector general at the Department of Homeland Security. Although the report remains classified and unpublished, DHS quietly released a summary of the report in its website. The November dated summary merely mentioned eight recommendations that were geared towards improved screening. It did not delve any deeper and comprehensive details still remain in the dark.

May 9, 2012 - Rediff News - 'Nuclear power plants pose unmanageable risks' - When dealing with risky technology, it is most important to take people into confidence and tell them what the real risks are, says activist Nityanand Jayaraman. Nityanand Jayaraman, an environment justice activist and a lecturer at the Asian College of Journalism on environmental journalism, is at the forefront supporting the Koodankulam nuclear power plant agitation through the Chennai Solidarity Group for Koodankulam Struggle. In an interview with rediff.com's Shobha Warrier, Jayaraman talks about why he supports the agitation and why all nuclear power plants in India have to be shut down. Why do you support the agitation against the Koodankulam nuclear power plant? I have an issue not only with the Koodankulam power plant but nuclear power per se. I think all technologies come with risks, and some risks are manageable, so we take those risks. But some risks are unmanageable and those risks should not be taken. You mean nuclear power plants pose unmanageable risks? Yes, nuclear power plants pose unmanageable risks. You have seen it time and again; the Kyshtym disaster in the 1950s, Three Mile Island in the 1970s, Chernobyl in the 1980s and Fukushima in 2011. We have seen that engineers, technocrats and politicians across nations have been unable to handle the fallout. It is not just the lack of faith in the Indian engineers but the unmanageability of the technology itself. Not everything in nature can be controlled at all times. Perhaps a time will come when human beings will be able to subject the atom to their will. It is wrong to subject communities and future generations to this kind of a risk.



May 9, 2012 - Uranium Investing News - Japan Continues to Need Nuclear Energy - A new World Economic Forum report titled “New Energy Architecture: Enabling an Effective Transition,” assesses how ready 124 countries are to transition to the sustainable and secure energy architecture required to harness economic growth. It provides a case for why Japan will continue to need nuclear power despite a current crisis in public confidence. The report depicts the Fukushima Daiichi incident as revealing a number of weaknesses in Japan’s capabilities in the nuclear value chain. These shortfalls include treatment of spent uranium fuel storage, managing cooling shut down, and decommissioning. In addition, the report stresses the need for Japan to further invest in research and regulation to overcome these challenges by bringing in international expertise to assist based on a combined government and industry effort. Japan’s challenge and focus for the coming years will clearly be on restoring supply and ensuring energy security. Ultimately this goal requires a multi-stakeholder approach and the government, industry, and public will all be required to play a role in the collaborative solution-based outcome.





May 9, 2012 - ANI - Experts warns of suspected Iran's clean-up operation at nuclear site - Experts have warned that Iran has allegedly carried out a clean-up drive at a building suspected of being used for experimenting nuclear weapons at the Parchin site outside Tehran. According to the Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS), that closely follows the Iranian nuclear program, new satellite pictures reveal that unusual activity has taken place in recent weeks at the military facility. A large stream of water was flowing from the building, which is believed to feature an "explosive chamber" for testing, raising concerns that Iran may have been washing inside the building", according to ISIS. The satellite pictures taken on April 9 had showed a series of unidentified items lined up outside the building. However, pictures taken in March and in July 2011 showed neither, suggesting unusual recent activities. David Albright, founder of the ISIS, has said its finding have backed up concerns at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), which has been denied access to the site since 2005, over recent activity there. "Iran should immediately allow IAEA inspectors into the Parchin site and allow access to this specific building," Albright said, a former inspector. "It should also explain the purpose of the activities". Yukiya Amano, the IAEA Director General, earlier this year said that he had information that "activity is ongoing" at the site, which is at the centre of the controversy over Iran's nuclear scheme.




May 9, 2012 - San Diego Union-Tribune - More steam tubes plugged at San Onofre - Operators of the idled San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station have plugged more than 1,300 tubes that carry radioactive water, as they attempt to shore up recently replaced steam generators and restart the plant. Edison last week said it is finalizing a proposal that could bring one of two reactors back online in June at reduced power, although the Nuclear Regulatory Commission said there is no timetable for restarting either reactor. Southern California Edison, the operator and majority owner of San Onofre, released a document Tuesday stating that 807 tubes have been taken out of service at Unit 3 reactor. That’s more than 4 percent of the 19,454 tubes that help transfer heat from the reactor core. Each generator was built with an 8 percent design margin for plugging, according to a recent regulatory filing by manufacturer Mitsubishi Heavy Industries of Japan. An Edison spokesman could not say what exceeding that threshold would mean.

Falken and its Clean Plus® Product Group, for all its size and colossal competitors, have accomplished great things in emerging markets. Manuel Garcia, its communications officer, in fact emphasizes the importance of maintaining and developing ethical footing in general, but in particular in emerging markets.

When it comes to cleaning and maintenance, disinfection and health protection products launched in emerging markets, brand owners like FLKI have a lot of issues to address in order to ensure their continuing success. It’s not a simple product launch. Falken must take into account the societal norms and social taboos of the region it is attempting to penetrate, and also consider the area’s economic situation. It is an area in which it excels !

Garcia, speaking of FLKI’s strong position in the manufacture of consumer, professional and industrial chemicals and wipes says that perhaps Africa offers a signpost to developing health protection consumption amongst low-income groups. FLKI, he says, has made some serious inroads in a number of African nations by teaming up with international organizations whose goal is to end poverty, to supply free health care protection to children and disaster victims. “The best example of this is the popularity of Clean Plus® Hand & Body Wipes, uniquely impregnated with FLKI’s proprietary SN10® solution,” Garcia explains. “The wipe is lypoprotective, anti-allergenic, and anti-bacterial. It is affordable and effective making it something of a shining light in the developing world.”

According to Garcia, health protection brands like those conceived by FLKI should continue to maintain and develop their ethical footing. “Away from schools, the issue of education is also key in many developing markets, where religious or social taboos have for example, a less-than-liberating effect on the female population,” Garcia says, adding that education campaigns, especially in more outlying regions, appear to have the capacity to change attitudes on health care.

Each emerging market is different in its own way when it comes to its social barriers, and each offers unique challenges. Take India, for example, where Garcia says the sight of charitable and socially-conscious brands might be regarded as window dressing.

With a view to long-term market development, investment in education, as well as sponsoring the development of small-scale health protection businesses, Garcia says it would appear to be an excellent opportunity for all players to develop an ethical position. “While broader involvement would certainly help satisfy a significant need, it would also encourage the first steps towards the development of a broader health protection market in some of the world’s most populace areas, surely making it a win-win situation for all,” he says.


Falken Industries Ltd OTC : FLKI is a diversified industrial conglomerate that operates in Chemicals, Wet Wipe and Biodegradable Technology. Falken Industries Ltd is the concept behind more than 160 products distributed through a network of global platforms and the recipient of trade awards for innovations, biodegradability and environmental and health quality standards. As a reliable partner FLKI creates chemistry to help distributors and retailers in virtually all industries to be more successful.

May 8, 2012 - Green Chip Stocks - Nuclear Crisis Alert; How Fukushima Could Wipe Out North America - The nuclear reactor disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi plant in Japan was a terrifying tragedy that had many nations questioning the safety of their own nuclear power programs. According to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), the Tokyo Electric Power Company (Tepco), and the Japanese government, the situation is no longer a threat. But according to nuclear experts, the threat is worse than ever. When the disaster struck, meltdowns occurred in reactors 1, 2, and 3. 4, 5, and 6 were down at the time, but 4 was full of radioactive waste. And it still is, which nuclear waste specialists say is a big cause for concern. The risk levels have been compared to a super-Chernobyl, much worse than the 1986 nuclear disaster in the Ukraine. Levels of cesium-137 are 10 times higher than Chernobyl. And if a new earthquake occurs that is big enough and close enough to the reactor, it could drain the pool in which it sits, releasing coolant and starting a radioactive fire. The cesium-137 would be released, and the threat wouldn’t just affect Japan. Radioactivity could stretch far enough to harm North America. And the element would take hundreds of years to disappear, entering the atmosphere and the food chain and causing health problems that could change or destroy civilization as we know it. Kevin Kamps, a nuclear waste expert at Beyond Nuclear, said: “Japan would suffer the worst, but it would be a global catastrophe. It already is, it already has been, but it would dwarf what’s already happened.”



May 8, 2012 - NIEHS Press Release - NNSA, FBI conclude radiological security exercise at NIEHS in North Carolina - The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) announced the completion of a table-top counterterrorism exercise at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) in Research Triangle Park, N.C. The exercise, Environmental Thunder, was the latest in NNSA’s series of nationwide exercises aimed at giving federal, state and local first response teams and law enforcement critical, hands-on experience in responding to a terrorist attack involving radioactive materials. The exercise covered a broad range of security elements including alarm assessment and response, crisis management, threat assessment, emergency response, consequence management and post-contingency procedures in the event of a terrorist incident. The Environmental Thunder exercise played out a fictitious scenario with terrorists infiltrating a research facility and attempting to seize control of a high-activity radiological source that, in principle, could be used in radiological dispersal devices (RDDs), commonly referred to as “dirty bombs.” The participating officials worked cooperatively to assess and respond to simulated facility alarms and then manage the crisis as if it were actually happening. The goal of these exercises is to provide first-hand crisis management experience, facilitate coordination between multiple agencies, and improve both alarm response and emergency response methods. Exercises take place in select locations across the country with facilities that house nuclear or high-activity radioactive materials.




May 8, 2012 - Oswego Daily News - County To Distribute KI May 15 In Oswego - Oswego County will hold the first of two “KI Distribution Days” in Oswego May 15 to distribute potassium iodide (KI) to people who live in the 10-mile emergency planning zone surrounding the nuclear power plants in Scriba. The county will distribute one 65mg tablet for every child weighing less than 150 pounds, and one 130mg tablet for every adult in a household. The county recently received new supplies of 65mg KI pills for residents from New York State, replacing the pills that expired in April. The current supply of 130mg tablets expires in 2014. Patricia Egan, Director of the Oswego County Emergency Management Office, encouraged people to attend the distribution days to receive their KI. This free, public distribution program is part of a comprehensive KI policy that includes the distribution and stockpiling of KI so that it will be available during a nuclear power plant emergency. The first distribution event will be held May 15, from 12:30 to 6 p.m. at the Oswego County Health Department, 70 Bunner St., Oswego. A second distribution will be held at a later date in the Mexico area.





May 8, 2012 - The Foreigner - Norway radon-accident death rate equal - It is believed that around 300 Norwegians die each year form lung cancer caused by exposure to radon gas. This is the same number of people that are killed in traffic accidents. Radon is a colourless, odourless, and tasteless radioactive gas and is considered a health hazard. Egil Bjørløw from Stavanger council thinks that there are thousands of houses in the area that have high reading of Radon gas. Readings are made using detectors placed in the home for at least two months over winter. Measurements taken in Rogaland have found that all municipalities, excluding Karmøy and Egersund were producing higher readings of Radon gas than the recommended levels. Municipalities have the information stored, and Mr Bjørlow says to NRK that Stavanger officials would like to publicise this on the Internet, “but we are the Data Inspectorate doesn’t allow us to.” “We would like to see privacy laws revised as it’s either all or nothing for now”, the authority’s head of information Ove Skåra tells The Foreigner. “We wouldn’t find it a problem if municipalities publish details about the areas, but don’t want information released about individual houses because of the highly variable quality of data provided by the companies that carry out radon measuring.” At the same time, members of the public can obtain the information if they call the Radiation Protection Authority’s (NRPA).



May 8, 2012 - Platts - US NRC does not have timetable for San Onofre restart - The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission does not have a timetable for a restart of the two idled reactors at the San Onofre station in Southern California, NRC Chairman Gregory Jaczko said in a statement Monday. Jaczko issued the statement following media reports late last week that Southern California Edison was targeting a mid-June restart of San Onofre-2 and that unit 3 might return to service in the three weeks following that. SoCal Ed said in a statement Friday that the dates are for planning purposes. Both units have been down since January as SoCal Ed investigates tube problems in their relatively new steam generators. "We have yet to receive the utility's written response documenting their completion of actions described in the March 27 Confirmatory Action Letter, so any discussion of a date for the restart of Unit 2 or Unit 3 is clearly premature," Jaczko said. He added that once NRC receives the utility's response, the agency "will take whatever time is necessary to conduct a thorough safety review."

Prosperity Goldfields Reports 61.5 m at 3.3 g/t Au - VIDEO NEWS RELEASE - Viral News 5.7.12 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_v36qtJCQxo

Prosperity Goldfields Reports 61.5 m at 3.3 g/t Au, Including 15.0 m at 6.7 g/t Au From Core Drilling at Rusty Zone, Kiyuk Lake, Nunavut



VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - May 7, 2012) - Prosperity Goldfields Corp. (the "Company" or "Prosperity") (TSX VENTURE:PPG) reports that assay results have been received from three holes of the recently completed 12 hole spring drill program on its 100 percent owned Kiyuk Lake gold property (the "Property") located in southern Nunavut.

Three holes were drilled at the Rusty zone and intersected multiple zones of gold mineralization (Table 1). Significant intercepts include:
•19.5 m at 3.5 g/t Au from 19.5 m and 61.5 m at 3.3 g/t Au from 159 m, including 7.5 m at 3.7 g/t Au; and 15.0 m at 6.7 g/t Au in hole KI12-003;
•18 m at 3.5 g/t Au from 156.5 m and 22.5 m at 1.8 g/t Au from 218.0 m in hole KI12-002; and
•23 m at 1.5 g/t Au from 81.5 m and 10.5 m at 4.6 g/t Au from 128.5 m in hole KI12-001.

"These excellent early results confirm the potential of the Rusty Zone which was discovered by the last hole of the 2011 drill campaign," comments Adrian Fleming, Prosperity CEO. "Grades in the breccia are very consistent and extend over significant widths. More importantly with an aggressive 200 m step out we continued to find well mineralized breccia. Since the mineralization contains magnetic minerals, magnetite and pyrrhotite, the magnetic data strongly suggests mineralization extending over at least 200 m along strike. The Rusty Zone is still open in all directions. It is now a major target for the summer drill program."

"I am looking forward to the assays from the remaining nine holes of this latest drill program."

These holes were designed to follow-up on mineralization intersected during the 2011 summer drill program in hole RU11-001 which intersected 37.8 m at 4.2 g/t Au1 from 2 m. Hole KI12-001 was collared 50 m to the west of RU11-001 (see Figure 1 and Figure 2). The drill was then moved 200 m to the south and completed KI12-002 and KI12-003 (see Figure 1 and Figure 3). The location and orientation information for the drill holes are shown in the Table 2.

The objective of the 2012 spring drill program was to build on the three gold discoveries made in 2011 (see Prosperity News Release dated February 21, 2012). The plan for the spring program was to further evaluate these discoveries (the Rusty, Gold Point and Cobalt Zones) and to drill one or two other targets that had not yet been tested.

Gold mineralization at Rusty is hosted in brecciated siltstone with magnetite- and magnetic pyrrhotite-rich matrix creating the magnetic high apparent in the airborne data and in the recently completed more detailed ground magnetics. The four holes drilled to date at Rusty, within the magnetic high, indicate gold mineralization extends over at least 200 m in strike length. Continuity of mineralization over this distance, although not yet established by drilling, is clearly inferred from the magnetic data. In addition KI12-002 and KI12-003 demonstrate vertical continuity of a zone with a width of at least 50 m. The Rusty Zone also extends from the surface as shown by 2011 drill hole RU11-001. Additional drilling will be required at Rusty to define the strike extent and depth of gold mineralization which is open ended.

The Kiyuk Lake property covers 590 square kilometers and encompasses at least five other targets which have yet to be drill tested. Prosperity plans to commence the summer exploration program in June. This field work will include property wide, more closely spaced, airborne magnetics and radiometrics; property wide geological mapping, prospecting and sampling; plus orientation and follow up systematic sampling of surficial materials for geochemistry.

May 7, 2012 - Orange County Register - Nothing radioactive in crash with 1 dead, 1 injured - A truck carrying containers marked as containing radioactive material crashed into a tree off the I-605 near Los Alamitos on Sunday night, killing one person and sending another to a hospital trauma center, according to law enforcement agencies. Orange County Fire Authority hazardous-material specialists investigated the containers, which turned out to be construction-equipment vaults, and discovered that they did not contain radioactive material, said Capt. Marc Stone. ADVERTISEMENT The slow lane of the southbound freeway was closed near the Katella Avenue/Willow St. off-ramp but has since reopened, according to California Highway Patrol. The accident involved one vehicle, a truck with a camper, which went down into a ditch before striking a tree, according to CHP dispatch records. The injured person was transported to Long Beach Memorial Medical Center with life-threatening injuries, but the condition is unknown, Stone said.



May 7, 2012 - Eastern Arizona Courier - State Legislature endorses Arizona as dumping ground for nuclear waste: Safford area one of five potential locations - If the Republican-controlled Arizona State Legislature has its way, the state could become the nation's dumping ground for nuclear waste. The debate on what to do with America's spent nuclear fuel has been ongoing since the 1980s. The United States Congress passed the Nuclear Waste Policy Act in 1982, which instructed the Department of Energy to locate, build and operate a permanent underground disposal facility for the nation's nuclear fuel. In 2002, Congress approved President George W. Bush's decision to build the site under Yucca Mountain, which is in Nevada about 90 miles northwest of Las Vegas. In 2008, the DOE announced it was raising the project's budget from $57.5 billion to $96 billion. President Barack Obama and his administration rejected the use of the site in the 2010 United States Federal Budget by eliminating all funding except what is needed to answer inquiries from the Nuclear Regulatory Commiss-ion. The decision was made, according to Democrats, because of the skyrocketing price tag and a laundry list of scientific, technical, public health, legal and safety problems. While Democrats said the site was initially chosen for political reasons, Republicans cite the political affiliation between President Obama and Nevada Senator Harry Reid (D) as the primary reason for its demise. Some states subsequently filed lawsuits seeking to force the federal government to honor the license application of the NWPA and insist the site be opened to accept nuclear waste. In the meantime, President Obama created the Blue Ribbon Commission on America's Nuclear Future to recommend alternatives to Yucca Mountain.



May 7, 2012 - Vancouver Columbian - Expose deal to import foreign waste.- The May 3 Columbian story reported “Radioactive waste might be imported” and transported to an incineration facility in Richland, near the Hanford nuclear reservation. A couple of weeks ago I saw a story saying that there was property going to be leased and after a little research I realized the land was part of Hanford. Now I see we are going to be trucking radioactive material across the country from Mexico and burning it here in the Northwest. The people who are worried about the coal dust coming off of loaded trains running through our county have been moot on this. What the heck? We cannot produce our own nuclear energy or dispose of it and properly handle our own waste but we will accept being contaminated by Mexico’s waste?


May 7, 2012 - Los Angeles Daily News - Region faces rolling blackouts if San Onofre not back online - Rolling blackouts could be a reality this summer if an intense heatwave hits and businesses and residents don't cut enough energy usage, according to a Southern California Edison official. SCE is grappling with the fact that its San Onofre nuclear power plant is still offline, Veronica Gutierrez, a spokeswoman for the Rosemead-based utility, said. "We could have rolling blackouts if we had a heatwave and conservation efforts aren't enough," she said. "Let's say we get one of the units at San Onofre back up this summer. If it's a normal summer we may not have any issues. But if something happened somewhere else in the system, like a fire that damages transmission lines ... that could start rolling blackouts." Both units at San Onofre were shut down in January and will stay out of commission until regulatory investigators can determine the cause of excessive wear on hundreds of tubes that carry radioactive water at the facility. The plant supplies 2,200 megawatts of power - enough to power 1.4 million average-sized homes. Gutierrez said SCE is addressing the problem on four fronts - transmission, generation, conservation and outreach. "We have a transmission line running from Cerritos to Huntington Beach that will be upgraded in June," she said. "That will help shore up power for south Orange County and also help our voltage flow to import more power to San Diego."

Forex Trading Psychology: Levels of FEAR

FOREX TRADING PSYCHOLOGY



People can always relate FEAR to forex trading.
The fear of losing money.
The fear of losing that trade which is too much for you to handle.
However what most people do not realise is that there are different levels of fear.
Eg.
When you can afford to lose that trade, (which you still do feel fear)
you are still able to think rationally and life goes on.
(ALTHOUGH YOU STILL DO NOT WANT TO LOSE THAT TRADE)
In the example above, fear is definitely in our emotions.
But because the level of fear is low, we are able to handle the fear and still think rationally.
HOWEVER,
Eg. your forex trading capital is $10k.
Your current open trade is now losing -$5000.
And that’s half of your capital.
Or worst to say, that’s half of your life asset. (Money you can’t afford to lose)
Forex Trading Psychology – Fear kicks in. (This time in higher dosage)
Then you start seeing your open trade grows to negative -$6000.
Your Fear level increases, you can feel your heart beat racing.
And sure enough, your worst fear arrived,
The trade increases to negative -$7000.
Forex Trading Psychology: Levels of FEAR

Your level of fear had reached its final peak level.
(you know it when you feel):
- Desperation
- Your face turn black
- You isolate yourself
- You start blaming people, things, events
- You pray
When you feel this level of highest fear.
You can’t think rationally any more.
You know that you can’t think rationally any more when:
- You have decided to increase lot size on your next trade
- OR You decided to go ALL IN on the next trade
You want to get revenge on the market.
You now feel HATE and ANGER.
Forex Trading Psychology: Levels of FEAR

And sure enough, when you start to do things irrationally.
That is the downfall of your trading career.
So you see, there are different levels of fear.
And the highest fear can lead to other emotions like ANGER & HATE.
When you start to do all the above.
You know you have reached your highest level of fear.
It is time to stop trading for a while.
Go get a rest, a shower, a walk.
When you feel that you have calm down and begin to accept things.
I want you to think of what went wrong. (not to blame others)
but what mistake did you made in the trade.
Good chance is that you are risking too much.
And i want you to WAIT and NOT trade until your feeling of hatred, anger and revenge is gone.
That is when you are able to think rationally and go back to fix the problem.
Remember, forex is a journey and not a one time success.
Most traders want to make big bucks in a few trade. But eventually lose it all.
Professional full time traders are ones who trade consistently and happy with reasonable profits.
Let me know if you had experience the above before and what you did, or what happen?

May 4, 2012 - Associated Press - As Japan Shuts Down Nuclear Power, Emissions Rise - The Fukushima crisis is eroding years of Japanese efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions blamed for global warming, as power plants running on oil and natural gas fill the electricity gap left by now-shuttered nuclear reactors. Before last year's devastating tsunami triggered meltdowns at the Fukushima Dai-ichi plant, Japan had planned to meet its carbon emissions reduction targets on the assumption that it would rely on nuclear power, long considered a steady, low-emissions source of energy. But now it's unclear to what extent nuclear energy will even be part of the electricity mix. Japan will be free of atomic power for the first time since 1966 on Saturday, when the last of its 50 usable reactors is switched off for regular inspections. The central government would like to restart them at some point, but it is running into strong opposition from local citizens and governments. With the loss of nuclear energy, the Ministry of Environment projects that Japan will produce about 15 percent more greenhouse gas emissions this fiscal year than it did in 1990, the baseline year for measuring progress in reducing emissions. In fiscal 2010, Japan's actual emissions were close to 1990 levels. It also raises doubts about whether it will be able to meet a pledge made in Copenhagen in 2009 to slash emissions by 25 percent from 1990 levels by 2020.



May 4, 2012 - Albany Times-Union - Dr. Dale’s Anti-Radiation Protection Protocol in the Forefront - Dr. Theresa Dale PhD, CCN, NP, of the Wellness Center for Research and Education, reacts to risk expressed in recent news articles indicating there may be a major widespread nuclear radiation exposure occurring due to Japan’s Fukushima accident in 2011 (http://www.enenews.com, a world Energy News and archive site). Dr. Theresa Dale, PhD, CCN, NP, determined that certain nutrients in foods play a major role against the damaging effects of ionizing radiation. Her research led Dr. Dale to developing a protocol for supporting the body when exposed to ionizing radiation. As a Clinical Nutritionist, Dr. Dale advocates that Americans reconsider their lifestyle, diet and choice of supplementation to naturally support the immune system, strengthening it to better protect itself from ionizing radiation. A diet which includes increased amounts of whole plant foods can improve detoxification of nuclides or radioactive elements. Non-contaminated micro algae and seaweed foods would be the recommended anti-radiation diet of choice, such as Miso soup (not made in Japan); Dulse or any other type of sea veggie (from the U.S., preferably Maine); high beta carotene vegetables; beans and lentils; potassium calcium and mineral rich foods; high nucleotide content foods to assist in cellular repair including spirulina, chlorella, algae, sardines, anchovies and mackerel; olive oil for drizzling on foods, not for cooking; avoiding all sugars, sweets and wheat.


May 4, 2012 - ABC 4 News - Dangerous level of radon gas in 34.5% of Utah homes - Our ABC 4 news investigates report is exposing a silent killer seeping into thousands of Utah homes. It's a clear and odorless gas called radon. We mailed 16 radon test kits to homes across Utah. Six of the nine test kits, mailed to a lab for results before this story aired, uncovered dangerous levels of radon in the homes. Connie Nordgren's home in Sandy tested the highest at 26.2, which is alarming. The EPA strongly recommends homeowners take action if a test kit finds a level of four or higher. "That really concerns me. All of my loved ones have been in the basement," she said. Experts say radon is a problem in Utah because of our unique geography. Uranium is pushed closer to the earth's surface by our mountains and when it decomposes that uranium produces radon gas.



May 4, 2012 - Long Beach Press-Telegram - Rohrabacher says San Onofre nuclear plant won't go online until it's safe - Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Palos Verdes Peninsula, said he came away from a tour of the San Onofre Nuclear Generation Station Thursday convinced officials will not let it go back online unless it is completely safe. Southern California Edison officials who led the tour for Rohrabacher told him that they expect the power plant to be working again by the end of next month, he said. Rohrabacher's 46th District includes the Palos Verdes Peninsula and portions of San Pedro and Long Beach. "But they reiterated that only unless they were absolutely convinced of the safety of what they were doing," Rohrabacher told City News Service. "They all have families near the plant, so they're not going not going to do anything to put the public at risk." Rohrabacher, who is a senior member of the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology, said he was at a seminar led by law enforcement several weeks ago when the topic of the San Onofre plant came up. "One of the things we were talking about was some of these people (entering the country illegally) are terrorists coming in, not just illegals and drug dealers," Rohrabacher said. "You wonder what their target would be. It would be the nuclear plant. And I realized I have not been down there to make sure they're taking security seriously."



May 4, 2012 - Denver Post - CU-Boulder researcher looks for radioactive dust in snow from San Miguel County - The walk-in freezer at University of Colorado researcher Mark Williams' lab is filled with 3,000 pounds of western Colorado snow. The snow -- trucked across the state in 24 gargantuan coolers -- contains dust particles that settled out onto the snow over the winter, and Williams believes that some of those dust particles, once tested, may be radioactive. The goal of gathering the snow-encased dust from San Miguel County -- near the towns of Ophir and Telluride -- is to determine what the background levels of radionuclides are in the dust that settles onto the snow in the area before a new uranium mill is built nearby. The mill, which was given a permit last summer by the state, is the first new uranium milling operation to earn a permit in the United States in more than two decades. Williams originally got involved in the project after concerned residents and government officials asked him to take a look at the plans for the mill when the project was first proposed. Now that a permit has been issued, Williams is working with locals to get a baseline measurement, which he expects will show the presence of some radionuclides from past mining and milling activities.




May 4, 2012 - Orange County Register - Utility aims for June restart at San Onofre plant - The utility that operates the San Onofre nuclear plant is looking at a possible June restart, while costs related to the shutdown could climb over $100 million, a senior executive said Thursday. Southern California Edison is drafting a plan under which the twin reactors would run at lower power, at least for several months. Engineers believe that will solve a problem with vibration that has been causing unusual wear in tubing within the plant's massive steam generators. "By operating at lower power ... the vibration does not occur," executive vice president Stephen Pickett said. The plant has been offline since late January, and federal regulators would have to approve a restart. The trouble at San Onofre began to unfold in late January, when the Unit 3 reactor was shut down as a precaution after a break in a steam generator tube carrying radioactive water. Traces of radiation escaped, but officials said there was no danger. Unit 2 had been taken offline earlier that month for routine maintenance, but investigators later found unusual wear on tubing in both units. Hundreds of tubes that were heavily damaged will be taken out of service at the two reactors, well within the margin to allow them to keep operating. Unit 1 was decommissioned in 1992

NOKOMIS, Fla., May 04, 2012 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Rainbow BioSciences, LLC, the biotech subsidiary of Rainbow Coral Corp. (RBCC), today announced the collaboration of its latest target, Amarantus BioSciences, Inc. /quotes/zigman/5369812/quotes/nls/ambs AMBS -12.50% , with Brewer Sports International (BSI) to increase awareness about new medical therapies in development to effectively treat traumatic brain injuries, commonly referred to as concussions, occurring primarily as a result of football and other contact sports.

The Coalition for Concussion Treatment campaign, known under its Twitter handle as #C4CT, has reached the critical milestone of 100 people signing a petition endorsing the movement and seeking to disseminate critical information about promising new therapies BSI will be identifying and raising awareness for over the next several months. Raising awareness of new advancement in developing treatments for TBI is critically important because it will allow the broader community to support drug developers' efforts.

Recent research on concussions suffered by athletes of all ages, including children, is rapidly changing the public's view of the impact these injuries have on players, including horrific side effects such as dementia and even suicide, as has been seen by the recent tragic deaths of certain current and former NFL and NHL players.

The newly formed Coalition for Concussion Treatment will focus on educating parents, players, fans and the sports community at large on the potential that new advances in developing new treatments for acute symptoms, as well as reducing the long-term negative impact of these devastating injuries have on the brain known as recovery of function. The sports community can have a meaningful positive influence on pushing new treatments in development forward.

AMBS is a biotech firm that has developed a therapeutic protein known as MANF to treat disorders associated with endoplasmic reticulum stress, including traumatic brain injury, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease and other afflictions. The firm is also working on a blood test designed to Parkinson's disease and has teamed up with Banyan Biomarkers, the leader in the development of in vitro diagnostics for concussions, on a new treatment for TBI. Amarantus and Banyan expect to release an update from their work to the public shortly.

RBCC signed a letter of intent with AMBS earlier this week.

As awareness and concern spreads regarding the devastating health issues that can accompany concussions, the market for the diagnostic and treatment options being developed by AMBS is growing by the day. The Coalition for Concussion Treatment stands poised to drive increases in demand for these products. It was created to begin a viral campaign through Twitter and other digital and social media outlets to help ignite awareness of the severity of concussions and enhance treatment efforts.

Despite the growing rate of incidence of traumatic brain injuries, very few treatments and no cures are yet available. RBCC and AMBS plan to help change that.

Rainbow BioSciences is dedicated to developing new medical and research technology innovations to compete alongside companies such as Amgen Inc. /quotes/zigman/19815/quotes/nls/amgn AMGN -0.37% , Cell Therapeutics, Inc. /quotes/zigman/5103238/quotes/nls/ctic CTIC -1.85% , Abbott Laboratories /quotes/zigman/216393/quotes/nls/abt ABT +0.64% and Affymax, Inc. /quotes/zigman/104161/quotes/nls/affy AFFY -1.90% .

May 3, 2012 - Associated Press - Sandia ships final barrels of TRU waste to WIPP - Sandia National Laboratories on Wednesday shipped its final four truckloads of radioactive legacy waste to the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant near Carlsbad. Gov. Susana Martinez was on hand for a press conference marking the final shipment of the so-called transuranic waste. She called it a "significant milestone in our efforts to protect New Mexico's environment and keep our state beautiful." Much of the waste at Sandia was generated in the 1970s and 1980s as part of nuclear defense research and weapons manufacturing programs. As part of the cleanup, Sandia has shipped 61 drums of the radioactive waste to the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant.




May 3, 2012 - Nuclear Street - Heavy Water Leak Reported at Canada's Gentilly 2 Nuclear Plant - A small leak occurred within a building at the Gentilly 2 nuclear plant last week, Canadian regulators said Wednesday. On April 26, province-owned Hydro Quebec reported to the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission that the heavy water coolant leaked into the plant’s reactor building. According to a CNSC release, two workers received small doses of 0.02 millisievert and 0.03 millisievert. Radiation released into the environment was below regulatory limits and did not pose a risk to the public, the agency said. No further details were available, but the plant is required to submit a report on the incident next month. Gentilly is Quebec’s only commercial nuclear plant. Put into service in 1983, it uses a Candu-6 heavy water reactor that generates 635 megawatts, according to the Candu Owners Group.




May 3, 2012 - Portland Tribune - Keep nuclear waste off our highways - As the nation wrestles with ways to dispose of its nuclear waste, there are proposals on the table that could result in approximately 30,000 truckloads of radioactive and chemical wastes being shipped through Oregon communities to the Hanford Nuclear Reservation, and there is a very simple action that ordinary citizens can take to stop this. These shipments will come from across the country. The waste that comes from the Southwest will be trucked up Interstate 5, Interstate 205 and Interstate 84 to Hanford, which is about 200 miles east of Portland on the Washington side of the Columbia River. Some of the waste is so radioactive that it has to be "remote handled," meaning that casks have to be loaded onto truck beds with robotic arms because they are too hot for humans to handle. The cement casks cannot completely contain the radioactivity without getting too heavy for the trucks, which means they will emit significant amounts of radiation to cars passing them on the highway. The U.S. Department of Energy's study showed that 800 male adults would be expected to get fatal cancers by exposure to these trucks in traffic. This did not take into account the effect on women and children, whose bodies are far more susceptible to radiation exposure, nor did it take into account the possibility of accidents or sabotage. These trucks will come through Wilsonville, Tualatin, Tigard, Lake Oswego, West Linn and Portland.



May 3, 2012 - New York Times - The Low-Level Radiation Puzzle - The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists is casting new light – or maybe just heat — on the murky field of sizing up the health effects of small radiation doses. The publication’s May-June issue carries seven articles and an editorial on the subject of low-dose radiation, a problem that has thus far defied scientific consensus but has assumed renewed importance since the meltdown of the Fukushima Daiichi reactors in Japan in March 2011. The accident contaminated the surrounding area, and questions persist about whether residents should be allowed to return or whether the radiation doses they would receive are too big a threat to their health. The bulletin, known for its “doomsday clock” measuring the risk of nuclear war, pays attention to civilian nuclear power mostly in the context of whether the spread of reactor technology lays the groundwork for the spread of atomic bombs. But this month a guest editor, Jan Beyea, an environmental scientist who has opposed nuclear reactors for decades and worked on epidemiological studies at Three Mile Island, takes a hard look at the power industry.

May 2, 2012 - Rocky Mountain Collegian - Reviewing the Fukushima disaster and journalism - I read with great interest the opinion column by S. Jacob Stern on April 30, 2012 on the Fukushima accident. Unfortunately, he appears to be a victim of the “Google search” research method. It is also unfortunate that he did not check here at CSU for information on radiation effects, where we have some of the premier radiobiologists in the world. CSU has an amazing group of researchers who are members of the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (Drs. Thomas Borak and F. Ward Whicker) and the National Academy of Science’s Board on Radiation Effects (Dr. Joel Bedford), among others. Furthermore, Drs. Whicker and Borak are also world-renowned researchers for their work on the effects of Chernobyl. We do not have sufficient room in this short note to delineate all of the outstanding work in radiation science and radiation protection that is ongoing at CSU, but a quick search of our University web pages should suffice. Finally, at least three of the graduate students in the Department of Environmental and Radiological Health Sciences were involved in the immediate Fukushima response.




May 2, 2012 - Virtual Strategy Magazine - Vital Choice Pacific Seafood Passes Radiation Tests - The results are in! Vital Choice Wild Seafood & Organics, the leading source for fast home delivery of the world’s finest wild seafood from Alaska and the North Pacific, today announced that tests conducted at their request by an independent laboratory show that none of their seafood is contaminated by radiation released from the compromised nuclear plants at Fukushima, Japan. After the devastating earthquake and tsunami in Fukushima last March, the team at Vital Choice Wild Seafood & Organics wanted to ensure that they were taking every safety precaution possible for their customers. Addressing a growing concern for potential radiation affecting the nation’s seafood, Vital Choice contracted Eurofins, the world leader in food testing, to test their wild Alaskan salmon and North Pacific seafood for radioactive elements. Vital Choice is proud to announce that the test results proved that all of their seafood products are completely safe for human consumption. The harmful radioactive isotopes that were released in significant amounts from the Fukushima plant, primarily Cesium-134, Cesium-137 and Iodine-131, were not present in almost every case. The trace amounts that may have been present in rare cases fell below the extremely low, very safe levels detectable with current technology. It is important to note that all food emits some radiation, because a small percentage of the elements in them naturally occur in the unstable forms called radioactive isotopes. Normally, the amounts of radioactive isotopes in foods are harmless. Following an accidental release of radiation, plants and animals can absorb radioactive isotopes, which may reach unsafe levels in affected foods. This is why Vital Choice Wild Seafood & Organics wanted to make absolutely sure that their products were not affected, and could not jeopardize the safety of any of their customers.



May 2, 2012 - The People's Voice - Fukushima primed for world wide disaster - The radioactive Fukushima Genie is out of the bottle and is primed to accomplish a worldwide disaster. If the roof of Reactor building #4 collapses, a building that is now seismically rated at zero, a pool of 1563 spent fuel rods perched 100 feet above the ground would also collapse ~ resulting in a gusher of global radiation that would put most of the world’s human and biological populations at severe risk. The greatest and most dangerous on going cover up in the world today is not the official 9/11 cover up (now into its 11th year); it is not the supposed assassination of Bin Laden by Navy Seals last year (an operation with no confirmed body, no video and completely staged as a re-election gimmick as we are now witnessing); but instead, it is the unspoken on going conspiracy of silence regarding the spreading worldwide nuclear radiation from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster on March 11, 2011. This backgrounder RT interview with Robert Jacobs ( Hiroshima Peace Institute) regarding Fukushima was on May 11, 2011 so you can imagine how much more radiation has leaked into the atmosphere in the past 11 months ~ as well as the on going conspiracy of silence to reduce rightful world wide concern if not panic. Jacobs also confirms the extreme danger of a collapsed Reactor #4.




May 2, 2012 - North County Times - Quake study for nuke plant moving forward - The state utilities commission is set to approve $64 million for new seismic studies at San Onofre, though it does not appear that the project will receive the same level of outside scrutiny being applied at the state's other nuclear plant. A proposed decision issued March 16 by Administrative Law Judge Robert Barnett concluded that an Independent Peer Review Panel for San Onofre will be different from the one in play at Diablo Canyon in central California. The California Public Utilities Commission is set to finalize the ruling May 10. "The (review panel) for Diablo Canyon has proved too cumbersome for prompt and efficient action. A modified panel is needed," Barnett stated in his proposed decision. A state law passed in 2006 requires both of California's nuclear plants to do a series of new two- and three-dimensional earthquake studies to help the public better understand their seismic vulnerability. Public concern over potential earthquakes at San Onofre has only increased since a severe shaker damaged the Fukushima Dai-ichi plant in Japan on March 11, 2011. Barnett's proposed decision calls for a division within the utilities commission to seek input from other California agencies ---- including the California Geologic Survey, the California Coastal Commission and The California Seismic Safety Commission ---- on whether Edison's seismic plans are sufficient.




May 2, 2012 - Associated Press - Navy nears power deal to help avoid Cal blackouts - The U.S. Navy is nearing a first-time agreement to curb electricity use at its sprawling San Diego-area bases if power runs short in Southern California this summer, a deal intended to diminish the threat of blackouts while the troubled San Onofre nuclear plant remains offline. The Navy is San Diego Gas & Electric's largest customer, and the utility has been working on an agreement under which the Navy would temporarily reduce its energy consumption if regional supplies get scarce. In exchange, the Navy would receive a break on electricity rates. The company has similar agreements with large industrial customers, which can slash the demand for power at critical times and keep the lights burning. State energy officials say Southern California could be hit by rotating blackouts this summer if a heat wave hits while San Onofre's twin reactors remain dark, though some activists insist adequate reserves are on hand. The plant, which can crank out enough electricity for 1.4 million homes, has been shut down for nearly three months while investigators try to determine the cause of excessive wear on hundreds of alloy tubes that carries radioactive water in its massive steam generators. The loss of the nuclear plant also makes it harder to import power into the San Diego area, where reliable energy transmission has long been a thorny issue.





May 2, 2012 - Denki Shimbun - US firm EnergySolutions ready to advance into reactor decommissioning business in Japan - Recently, executives of EnergySolutions, the global leader in the field of treatment and disposal of radioactive waste, accepted an interview with The Denki Shimbun and expressed their intention to expand their cooperative relationships with Japanese companies in the reactor decommissioning business in Japan. Having already established a business alliance with Toshiba for multi-nuclide removal equipment at the Fukushima I nuclear power station, they will similarly issue further proposals for other electric utilities and heavy electric machinery manufacturers. In addition, they are willing to handle the tasks of planning and costing the reactor decommissioning of Fukushima I units 1 to 4, and execute orders in connection with multiple projects, such as radioactive waste treatment and fuel extraction. Mark Morant, President for Global Commercial Group, Colin Boardman, President for Asia Region and Colin Austin , Sr Vice President for Asia Region (in charge of Japan) at EnergySolutions accepted our interview request.



May 2, 2012 - BBC News - Radioactive beach risk from wartime dump 'was ignored' - The risk of radioactive contamination at a Scottish beach, which is only now being fully assessed, was reported to the government more than 50 years ago. A confidential report from 1958, seen by the BBC, warned of the potential risks at sites where wartime aircraft had been dumped. Radiation at the site at Dalgety Bay in Fife is believed to be from radium paint used on aircraft instruments. Radiation was discovered at the beach by accident 20 years ago. The Ministry of Defence is currently investigating how the radioactive pollution might be cleaned up, but has yet to accept liability. It has been warned

ESL's share rose in trading Monday after a Credit Suisse analyst upgraded her rating on the aerospace and defense supplier, seeing growth opportunities ahead.

The Credit Suisse analyst said she liked the company's mix of revenue: about 45 percent of its sales are in commercial aerospace business, 40 percent in defense and the remainder is a mix of other clients. She expects the company will likely add new business, improve its margins and soon see the benefit of last year's acquisition of Souriau, a connectors company.

She increased her target price on Esterline shares to $81 from $69.

May 1, 2012 - Latin American Herald Tribune - Radioactive Material Stolen in Brazil - A vehicle carrying a capsule filled with radioactive material was stolen over the weekend in Rio de Janeiro, Brazilian police said. Armed men intercepted the vehicle, which belonged to an industrial maintenance firm, on the highway that links Rio to Sao Paulo. The vehicle’s occupants warned the robbers about the presence of the potentially dangerous cargo, police said. The stolen vehicle was transporting Selenium-75, a radioactive substance with industrial applications, the maintenance firm said. Inside the capsule, the material poses no risk, but a leak of the Selenium-75 could have serious effects for human health and the environment, authorities said. Officials fear a repeat of what happened in the central state of Goiania in 1987, when a scavenger forced open a capsule of Cesium-137 that a clinic illegally discarded at a dump. Four people died and dozens were sickened in Brazil’s worst-ever accident involving radioactive material.







May 1, 2012 - Science Codex - Experts write on the risks of low-level radiation - Each time a release of radioactivity occurs, questions arise and debates unfold on the health risks at low doses—and still, just over a year after the disaster at the Fukushima Nuclear Power Station, unanswered questions and unsettled debates remain. Now a special issue of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, published by SAGE, examines what is new about the debate over low-dose radiation risk, specifically focusing on areas of agreement and disagreement, including quantitative estimates of cancer risk as radiation dose increases, or what is known as the linear non-threshold theory (LNT). The issue, which includes essays written by the top experts in their fields, does not claim to put the argument to rest—however, it does provide an indispensible update of the existing literature. As Jan Beyea, guest editor and nuclear physics and epidemiology expert, says: "The reader will be ready to join the debate armed with a broad-based view of the epidemiologic evidence and its differing interpretations, along with an awareness of the stakeholder and researcher landscape." Beyea personally contributes to the issue and deconstructs the low-level radiation debate, unpacking all its parts and illuminating what deserves more attention and scrutiny.








May 1, 2012 - Iowa City Owl - Iowa Department of Public Health Lacks Funds to Conduct Radon Testing - Recent investigations have shown that the Iowa Department of Public Health has not been doing radon testing, as demanded by law, due to lack of funds. State legislation demands that the Iowa Department of Health conduct radon testing and inspect radon-removal systems from basements in homes, due to Radon's radioactivity and health hazard to humans when inhaled. These tests have not been done in hundreds of homes recently. Radon is an odorless and colorless gas that is usually found in the basement of a home, after seeping in from the ground. It is classified as a class A carcinogen, because it is found to kill nearly 400 people in Iowa each year. Other carcinogens in this category include more well-known hazards like arsenic and asbestos. Radon can be breathed in when a person enters a basement that contains the odorless and colorless gas, which causes lung cancer and damage to the DNA. It is a major concern because Radon is thought to be the second leading cause of lung cancer death. People rarely survive lung cancer contracted from radon. Even though radon is such a dangerous material, the Iowa Department of Public Health still does not conduct as many tests as demanded by law and needed according to the amount of homes in Iowa City.











May 1, 2012 - Today's Sunbeam - 'Unusual event' declared at Salem 1 nuclear reactor after plant automatically shuts down - An “unusual event” was declared at the Salem 1 nuclear reactor here this morning after the plant shut down and fire alarms sounded, a spokesman for the plant’s operator said. An unusual event is the least serious of four emergency classifications at a nuclear power plant. Salem 1 automatically shut down at 10:15 a.m., according to Joe Delmar, spokesman for the reactor’s operator, PSEG Nuclear. According to Delmar what caused the reactor to trip remains under investigation, but testing was occurring on the reactor’s emergency cooling system at the time. After the reactor shutdown, multiple fire alarms sounded, according to Delmar.









May 1, 2012 - Fox 31 - Firefighters get active about radio actives - Everyday Albany firefighters put their lives on the line to protect the community, but before they can do that, they have to have training. Monday they received specialized training in radioactive materials. Items containing radioactivity are shipped all around the world for many purposes and there's the possibility that if an accident occurs, the public may be in danger. “It has happened in Albany once before and it dealt with Radio pharmaceuticals,” says instructor David Lewis. Although this doesn't happen often, firefighters are trained to know what type of radioactive materials there are and how to tell if they pose a threat or not. “What it's going to do is prepare them in the event of an incident for how to respond to that incident and what to do upon arrival and what to do as the incident progresses,” says Eugene Anderson, Albany Fire Department Training Captain. Trainees went over the protocol for judging materials. “The package type will give them direct indication as to what type of hazard that material poses to them as emergency responders,” says David Lewis.

It’s a relatively small company, assuredly, but there is nothing little about this company’s leadership in industry practices. Much of its success of course lies in creativity and an uncanny ability to conceive and manufacture product concepts for markets simply ignored by its competitors – markets such as women; 92% of the market for auto care, and 57% of this company’s consumer product sales. The company, Falken Industries is traded on the OTC, is reporting and rated “Current Information” under symbol FLKI. Most on the street say it’s a great buy and some have rated Stong Buy – for what its worth !

This company whose fundamentals are beyond reproach, made its mark as an industry leader many years back and its acclaim was loudly sounded in the trade. It gave new meaning to the term “Supply Chain” management, expanding it beyond its traditional goal of low costs and efficiency. The company developed an uncanny ability to shape and respond to shifts in demand from its global distribution network, and pumped out innovative product conceptions. This started in 1997 and continues to this day. “For Falken, our performance in emphasizing distribution support translates to productivity and market share leadership” said Manuel Garcia, Communications Officer.

As a trade analyst, I have come to reflect on efficiency, profitability, and growth within our industry. I immediately question common current practices of squandering opportunities. A lack of alignment between assets creates disharmony, as each party in the chain operates under dissimilar definitions and contradictory hierarchies. But as demonstrated by Falken and its distribution methods, opportunities exist to create collective information management practices, which when implemented, lower dependency on labor-intensive, duplicative, and processes vulnerable to errors.

Implementation of course is the difference. The Automobile After-market industry is greatly fragmented with very small players controlling much of the mix of products offered in the market. Theories abound. For Falken it’s called Directed Records Management (D.R.M.) – what is it? It is an approach to business record keeping which standardizes cataloging and if applied correctly and with sufficient dedicated resources, helps to ensure clear and accurate views of the business and its performance. The absence of such processes increases business trials and decreases profitability and performance. The information so managed by Falken relates to its needs, for basic information on advertisers, brands, vendors, and other campaign details that need to be shared across its internal and global distribution system, ensuring coordination applications, and processes in order for data to be consistently and accurately reported – accounting for countless cultural differences which taint reporting.

Getting information of course is difficult. Falken with 380 distributors throughout the world and a leading global brand (Clean Plus® see www.cleanplus.com), is always in fear of asking for or letting go of information that some may consider confidential. But what Falken is asking for here, is NOT proprietary; it's basic descriptive information — media names, product names, commercial titles, and a few more descriptive values. The data is shared information, for the most part wholly disorganized and processed in methods that were invented decades ago, when there were far less complex supply chains.

There is always a concern that by identifying faults in its distributor’s processes, the company will diminish its prospects for greater sales. Realistically, this negligible however, the amount that may be lost will be gained in other areas. When Falken teams proceed to such ventures, they necessarily review all the components affecting the cost-benefit analysis. A small fundamental capital loss can cascade into a huge capital gain through its supply chain superiority.

Excellence is reached when partners have fulfilled their roles, adhered to industry best practices, and made way for the other members of the chain to focus on their own roles. Falken is noted for shifting responsibility to the right place in the chain, away from downstream parties who have no ownership or primary knowledge of the accuracy of the information. In fact, these downstream parties have been held responsible for errors. What we are witnessing, is Falken’s foundation of repeatable, documentable best practices.

Realistically, Falken has not avoided being overwhelmed by an explosion of new data to process and analyze. While not so long ago it dealt in megabytes the company is now dealing with terabytes. The expanded information now has more uses and affiliations, thereby rendering other’s current methods obsolete. The new data is organized by hundreds of segmentations. Falken is not limited by legacy technology systems leading to disparate data, conflicting hierarchies, and intended-to-be-temporary workouts, short-term fixes, and stop-gap solutions. Falken’s method does not bypass known problems in a system. It applies no temporary fixes that would imply that a proper solution to the problem is needed. Such heirloom practices have graduated in certain companies to permanent practices which have evolved into institutionalized bad habits which have in turn become a barrier to innovation and creativity.

“At Falken we apply operating procedures ranging from how to get information into order entry, asset management, workflow to measurement systems which lead to the emergence of innovative business models, and cost savings and additional revenue.” Said Garcia.

Falken’s D.R.M. excellence arises out of the company's ability to make decisions quickly and effectively. “It permits our management to make decisions based on what is best for the entire supply chain, rather than one specific organizational component.” Added Garcia

April 27, 2012 - Tech Europe - App Tracks Smartphones’ Radiation Exposure - Mobile phone radiation is a contentious topic. The World Health Organization now lists mobile phone use in the same “carcinogenic hazard” category as lead, engine exhaust and chloroform. At the same time, it acknowledges that no adverse health effects have been established as being caused by mobile phone use. An app, developed by Israeli scientists, now lets Android users monitor their exposure, and it can help reduce any potential harm that the emissions may cause. The app, called Tawkon, alerts users when they have reached a certain level of radiation exposure during a conversation, and suggests some simple remedies. The difference can be quite dramatic: One minute at high levels can be equivalent to five hours exposure at low radiation levels, according to the company. “Sometimes it can be as simple as moving your position by a few meters,” says Tawkon Chief Executive Gil Friedlander. “Or using a bluetooth handset or speaker.” The radiation a phone emits is linked to the power of the radio, which can be affected by a number of things, he said. “If you are in a radio blackspot, for example, the phone will have to use more power to make a connection.” Other factors to reduce power can include things like rotating the phone.




April 27, 2012 - Fox 59 - Fox59 investigation reveals many schools aren't testing for radon - A Fox59 investigation found many schools haven’t recently tested for a potentially deadly health hazard in decades and some have never been tested. When Fox59 offered to test at no charge, they all said “no.” These classrooms and hallways look calm, quiet, and harmless, but what you don’t see is the warning from Joyce Rodrigues. “It's an unknown killer,” said Rodrigues. Joyce has always lived a healthy lifestyle. She takes care of herself, exercises, eats well and has never smoked. That’s why she was so surprised when she was diagnosed with lung cancer. “He said, ‘I’m sorry Joyce, but you're going to have to have part of your lung removed.’ And I was in shock. and I’m like no,” said Rodrigues. The cause: high levels of radon, a toxic gas which comes up through the basement and into the rest of house. “It blew me away. I sat in that chair and I’m like, ‘My God! It was like a bad dream. It was like such a bad dream. It was the last thing in the world (I would have expected). Never in my life would I ever have expected anything like that,” she said.




April 27, 2012 - Seal Beach Patch - UV Radiation Exposure To Be Dangerously High Again - Tomorrow's ultraviolet index level in Southern Claifornia will be 11, according to the National Weather Service. The reading indicates what the UV exposure is expected to be at noon, when the sun's rays are at their strongest. •A reading of 0-2 indicates a minimal exposure level, and very fair skinned people could become sunburned in 30 minutes if not properly protected. •A reading of 3-4 is considered a low exposure level, reducing the danger range for those with fair complexions to 15-20 minutes if not protected. •A moderate exposure level of 5-6 indicates that a person with a fair complexion could be safe from sun burn for 10-12 minutes, unless protected. •A high exposure level reading of 7-9 means that a person could be sunburned in 7-8 minutes. •A very high exposure level reading of 10, or greater, means a fair skinned person could suffer a sunburn in about four minutes if not protected. Ultraviolet radiation is blamed for a host of health problems, including skin cancer and cataracts.





April 27, 2012 - Euronews - Workers still at risk decades after Chernobyl blast - With the memorial ceremonies over for another year, the hard work of building a new permanent shelter to secure the stricken Chernobyl nuclear plant has begun. After the explosion 26 years ago reactor four was encased in cement at great risk to those who completed the work. Now that is to be replaced with a new sarcophagus, but are things any safer today? “Because of the construction work they’ve dug down to the level where the nuclear fuel and graphite lay. As a result the level of radioactivity in the air has risen. While the work is going on the level of the radioactivity in the air exceeds the sanitary norm by hundreds, perhaps thousands of times,” warned construction expert Yuri Andreyev. Once the digging is finished experts say there will be no danger from the dust at the site. But to reassure the builders and technicians there are regular health checks. Each person is monitored and his or her exposure to radiation is controlled. Euronews reporter Angelina Kariakina said: “The experts believe the encasement doesn’t solve the main Chernobyl problem, that of the nuclear waste inside the demolished reactor. But there is currently no chance of moving it to a safer storage facility.”





April 27, 2012 - Scripps News - Expert's report outlines cover-ups of radiation leaks - An expert's report on shuttered nuclear fuels plants in Armstrong County, Pa., provides new detail on allegations that operators Babcock & Wilcox Co. and Atlantic Richfield knew about worst-in-the-nation releases of radioactive materials that spanned decades, but opted not to do enough to protect neighbors from cancer-causing dust. The 37-page report by Harvard University Radiation Safety Officer Joseph P. Ring, who teaches at Harvard and the University of Massachusetts, was filed this week in a series of federal lawsuits against the companies by about 90 cancer victims. Ring found "numerous large-scale releases of ionizing radiation into the neighboring environment" during the operating lives of the plants, which spanned 1958 through 1984, adding up to "the largest quantity ... of any nuclear facility in the United States." The effects continue to bedevil the Armstrong County communities. "A lot of people have lost not only their entire savings but their homes," due to the health effects and loss of property value caused by the plants, said Patricia Ameno, who sued the companies in a previous round of litigation. "Their families have been torn apart by illnesses and deaths."






April 27, 2012 - Green Bay Press Gazette - Point Beach Nuclear Power Plant incident was not danger to public - The State of Wisconsin Emergency Operations Center was activated at about 9 p.m. Wednesday after Point Beach Nuclear Power Plant in the town of Two Creeks issued an alert status following the report of high levels of carbon monoxide in a mechanical room. There was no threat to the public or plant personnel, according to a press release. No radioactive releases occurred. An alert is the second-lowest level of a four-level federal classification system for nuclear generating plant emergencies. The alert status was cancelled by the plant and verified by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission shortly after 11 p.m. after carbon monoxide levels dropped. The plant, located along Lake Michigan, is owned and operated by NextEra Energy Resources.

My new big report for the morning is MELY. Some of you have probably profited from my alert yesterday. I love these cheap penny plays when it was temporarily down that have the potential to make HUGE gains when the next chain of actions will continue.

MELY is positioned in one of the hottest sectors hands down right now- Cloud Computing. In my opinion, the stock is at extremely attractive low levels and the chart looks like it is overdue for a breakout to the upside. I have first crack at it and believe many other newsletters may start to cover the stock in the near future so this could become a nice short-term winner for us.

Be ready to catch a very big rally in the morning to profit!

According to breathtaking new research from Microsoft, the result of a commission to analyst firm IDC, approximately fourteen million new jobs will be created by the year 2015, all of those jobs stemming from a swelling boom in cloud computing. Profits generated from such a boom in cloud activity to skyrocket to more than $1 trillion dollars within the exact same time frame.

This proves that over the next few years these cloud companies could become MAJOR players and receive huge premium valuations on Wall Street. Even many of the small and micro-cap cloud companies could be gobbled up and follow the trend upwards.

April 26, 2012 - Rabble.ca - Chernobyl anniversary: Time to rethink nuclear power in Canada - On Wednesday morning, as part of Toronto-based anti-nuke group DONT NUKE TO!, I commemorated the 27th anniversary of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster by unfurling an enormous stop sign banner in the middle of the intersection of Yonge and Dundas in the centre of Toronto. I was in the intersection of Yonge and Dundas simply because I'm 27 years-old and I've been alive for four nuclear meltdowns - unit 4 at Chernobyl, and units 1, 2, and 3 at Fukushima Daiichi. I've seen reports of the radioactive materials contaminating more that 125,000 square kilometres in the Ukraine, Russia and Belarus, causing hundreds of thousands of people to be relocated, willingly and otherwise. I've also seen the 30km exclusion zone around Chernobyl, an area that includes the once bustling city of Pripyat, which has now become a site of post-apocalyptic curiousity. There is also the matter of Chernobyl's collapsing ad hoc 'Sarcophagus', the concrete structure built to contain the radioactive contents of reactor four. The Sarcophagus around Chernobyl is rapidly deteriorating, and no longer a reliable guard against the radioactivity of the station. An international campaign launched by the European Commission to fund a new containment at Chernobyl is hoping to be completed by 2015.




April 26, 2012 - OpEdNews - Fearing California Could Become a Dead Zone, Irvine City Council Takes Lead Towards Stopping Likely Nuclear Disaster - On April 24, 2012, hundreds of concerned citizens flocked to the Irvine City Council chambers to listen to renowned nuclear experts Arnie Gundersen and S. David Freeman and to support motions by former mayor/current city councilman Larry Agran to prevent San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) from going Fukushima. San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station has the worst safety record of any nuclear plant in the United States. Workers are in fear of retaliation for speaking out about the dangers. Residents are afraid of dying. The meeting was filled will calls for the decommissioning of SONGS. Arnie Gundersen, top nuclear expert from Three Mile Island, pointed out that plugging the holes in the worn out tubes won't stop the vibrations as the problem resulted from about 400 too many tubes being crammed into a space that should contain fewer and they will continue to shake when the water goes over them. He spoke of how a pinhole leak could create a chain reaction, resulting in collapse and disaster. S David Freeman, who was in charge of the power plan for the state at one time and who has been in charge of power plants around the country, pointed out that this is a life and death matter. He thanked the Irvine City Council for its leadership in a country that is lacking leadership on this issue.

April 26, 2012 - Enformable - Earthquake woes continue to obfuscate restart of nuclear reactors - On Monday, a report by three Japanese utilities said that the Tomari nuclear plant in Hokkaido and the Tsuruga plant in Fukui Prefecture are at risk of earthquakes that exceed their designed quake-resistance parameters. A day later on Tuesday, Japan’s Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency (NISA) suggested the possibility of an old fault “fracture zone” right beneath the Number 1 and Number 2 units of the Tsuruga nuclear plant moving closely with an active fault nearby, and subsequently issued the inspection order on Tuesday to the Japan Atomic Power Company, after a team of experts surveyed 3 faults in the compound and found that one of them located 150 meters west of the No.2 reactor may be active. According to NISA, a 35-km-long fault named Urazoko runs beneath the compound of the Tsuruga power plant, and experts believe it caused an earthquake there around 4,500 years ago or later. The team said the fault could shift simultaneously with a known active fault nearby. If that happens, they could trigger an earthquake more powerful than the plant is supposed to withstand. Japan has rules against installing a nuclear plant on top of an active fault that has moved within the last 120,000 to 130,000 years, and some are concerned that the Tsuruga site may be declared unfit to host a nuclear plant.


April 26, 2012 - UPI - Worker exposed to uranium - A Westinghouse Electric Co. employee exposed to uranium at a South Carolina plant appears to be in good condition, officials say. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission reported the worker was taken to a hospital this week, The State of Columbia, S.C., reported. Dave Precht, a spokesman for the Columbia nuclear fuel plant, said that was "precautionary." The man was exposed to acid containing uranium Monday night. Precht said he was back on the job soon after his hospital visit and appears to have suffered no ill effects. The plant makes nuclear fuel for power plants.



April 26, 2012 - Pittsburgh Post-Gazette - New claims made in radiation lawsuit - Nuclear fuels plants in Apollo and Parks Township didn't safeguard workers' health and regularly spewed radioactive materials into the environment, according to an expert's report submitted late yesterday in a series of federal lawsuits against Babcock & Wilcox Power Generation Group. The 37-page report by Harvard University Radiation Safety Officer Joseph P. Ring, who teaches at Harvard and the University of Massachusetts, alleges "numerous large-scale releases of ionizing radiation into the neighboring environment" during the plants' operating lives, which spanned 1958 through 1983. Workers likely got doses that "endangered their health," he wrote, and the amount of unaccounted-for materials believed to have been released into the environment was "the largest quantity ... of any nuclear facility in the United States," he wrote. Attorneys for Babcock & Wilcox could not be immediately reached for comment. The lawsuits, filed in 2010 by workers and neighbors of the plants, are being handled by U.S. District Court Chief Judge Gary L. Lancaster.




April 26, 2012 - Novinite - Ukraine Launches Construction of New Sarcophagus around Chernobyl Reactor - A handout photo released by environment organisation Greenpeace on 26 April 2011 shows a projection by activists on the wall of the Chernobyl `Sarcophagus`, the concrete cover of the damaged reactor, on the same day and at the same hour exactly 25 years a Ukraine will launch Thursday the construction of a new sarcophagus around the destroyed nuclear reactor at the Chernobyl plant. The step aims to secure the zone around the nuclear power station, which is still characterized by high radiation. The construction of the new safety cover is scheduled to be completed in 2015, according to reports of international news agencies. Some experts, however, have voiced doubts that the radiation problem will be solved with the new sarcophagus because the remaining radioactive material will not be removed. On April 26, 1986, Bloch 4 at the Chernobyl nuclear station exploded, releasing several tons of radioactive material into its surroundings. A concrete mantle was put up in the first few months after the disaster, but the facility is said to be in danger of collapsing. The construction of the new confinement is expected to cost around EUR 980 M and will be executed by French Novarka Consortium. The new safety cover is intended to ensure the safety of the reactor for a period of 100 years.



April 26, 2012 - TVR - World learnt about most dreadful man-made disaster in human history 26 years ago - 2 expositions occurred at Power Unit 4. About 200 tons of radioactive materials were released into the atmosphere because of the fire, which lasted almost 2 weeks. 70% of the radioactive substance scattered over Belarus. The fifth part of the population suffered. In 2004 the United Nations General Assembly announced April 26 the International Day of remembrance for the victims of radiation accidents and catastrophes.



April 26, 2012 - Industrial Laser Solutions - Underwater laser welding for nuke plants coming to US - Westinghouse Electric says its "underwater laser beam welding" (ULBW) laser welding process, already used at nuclear plants in Japan, will make its US debut in the fall of 2013 at Progress Energy's Robinson Nuclear Plant in Hartsville, SC, to repair reactor vessel nozzles with dissimilar metal welds during the plant's scheduled outage in the fall of 2013. Traditional methods of underwater welding typically involve arc welding and divers, either manually or with mechanized welding equipment. The ULBW process, developed jointly by Westinghouse and parent company Toshiba, applies stress corrosion, cracking-resistant weld metal to the inside diameter surface of components, able to seal cracks up to 0.5 mm. Precise heat and dilution control of the laser beam -- low-heat input of 2.5-7.6 kJ/in, about 10% of that of standard tungsten inert gas welding -- results in consistent weld quality and high deposit purity. The laser unit can also be located up to 1000 ft away from the actual work area.



April 26, 2012 - Democratic Underground - How a Group of Japanese Mothers Are Saying No to Nuclear Power - On the one-year anniversary of the Fukushima nuclear disaster, Japanese women in New York City gathered for a rally they called Pregnant With Fear of Radiation. Protestors wore fake pregnant bellies, or carried posters with images of pregnant women wearing face masks. Well aware that fetuses, children under five, and women are at the greatest risk from radiation exposure, mothers have emerged as a powerful voice in Japan’s growing anti-nuclear movement. To call attention to their message, the mothers have organized marches, petitioned government officials, fasted, and held months-long sit-ins in public locations. They regularly wear symbols of maternity and motherhood in deliberately confrontational ways. The mothers call for action on multiple fronts. Most immediately, they demand the evacuation of all the families of Fukushima, where radiation emissions continue. They ask for tougher safety standards for food and drink in Japan, and an end to the practice of spreading and burning radioactive rubble from the contaminated zone throughout the country’s various prefectures. And, to prevent future disasters, they call for the permanent closure of all nuclear power plants in Japan and throughout the world.

April 25, 2012 - San Luis Obispo Tribune - Diablo Canyon nearly idle after jellyfish-like creatures cause clog - Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant is nearly idle today from the combination of one reactor shut down for refueling and the other operating at only 15 percent capacity due to an influx of small jellyfish-like animals clogging the facility's cooling water intake structure. Plant operators reduced power on the operating reactor last night when large numbers of salp entered the intake structure, said plant spokesman Tom Cuddy. "We will not increase power until intake conditions improve," he said. Salps are small barrel-shaped plankton called tunicates, similar to jellyfish, that can grow to nearly four inches in length. They move by pumping water through their bodies. They often float in the water in string- or rope-like fashion. The other reactor was shut down earlier this week for a regularly scheduled refueling outage.

April 25, 2012 - Telecom TV - Radiation from mobile phones: Tumour rumours return - Over past years reports upon reports have been published claiming to prove either that radiation from mobile handsets does cause brain cancers or that it doesn't. Basically you read the research, meld it with your personal prejudices pro or con the arguments and take a stance accordingly. For, in the house of mobile technology there are many mansions peopled by apologists for one side or the other, as Martyn Warwick reports. Yesterday, London saw the launch of the three-day "Children With Cancer" conference whereat scientists and medics are calling for yet more "completely objective and independent" research to be carried out into this emotive subject. That's apparently because all the studies undertaken to date " are split 50:50" in concluding that mobiles do/do not cause cancers. The conference is being held shortly after new figures from Britain's Office of National Statistics(ONS) show that in the UK there was a big ncrease in the incidence of frontal and temporal lobe brain tumours between 1999 and 2009, with many delegates believing the mass uptake of mobiles over that decade is hardly co-incidental to the rise in cancer cases.

April 25, 2012 - Times-Tribune - Nuclear plant turbine blades crack again - Some of the same blades that cracked and were repaired last year on a turbine at the PPL Susquehanna nuclear power plant near Berwick have cracked again. The cracks, less extensive than those repaired in 2011, were discovered as part of a follow-up inspection of the plant's Unit 1 turbine, which has been shut down since March 31 for refueling and maintenance, PPL said in a press release Tuesday. The cracks at the nuclear power plan do not pose any immediate dangers, PPL spokesman Joe Scopelliti said. PPL plans to replace one row of blades on the Unit 1 turbine and will shut down and inspect Unit 2 sometime after mid-May. The turbine cracks and upcoming repairs will not impact customers' electric rates, Scopelliti said.

April 25, 2012 - Northumberland News - Port Hope radioactive waste cleanup to get started - Port Hope families will soon be able to play with their little ones on a grassy hill, where they can throw frisbees for their dogs, or enjoy a Sunday picnic in the warm sun, while 1.4 million cubic metres of low-level radioactive waste rests safely underneath them. That was the message conveyed by the Port Hope Area Initiative (PHAI) during a media tour on April 18 of the entire project, including: contaminated sites in Port Hope; the future site of the long-term waste management facility on Baulch Road; and the routes trucks will take when transporting contaminated soil. "When the contaminated soil is placed in the mound and capped and closed, it will be covered with grass, available for the entire community to visit and enjoy afterwards," said Glenn Case, director of safety and design authority for the PHAI. "It will be available for passive community uses, such as walking trails, to fly a kite or walk their dog."

April 25, 2012 - The Telegraph - Pacific Highway excess soil to be tested - Soil that was given to property owners living near the Pacific Highway upgrade works in New South Wales will be tested after a group of road workers fell sick while unearthing an unknown substance. During work on the upgrade of the highway near Laurieton, south of Port Macquarie, nearby property owners were given some excess top soil from the site, the Roads and Maritime Services (RMS) said. The soil will now be tested as a "precautionary measure", RMS said today. "Arrangements have been made with property owners to establish exclusion zones around the soil until test results become available." The tests, which will continue tomorrow, come after five road workers began vomiting when they dug up an unknown, clay-like substance from the section of the highway just before Easter. The event initially sparked fears that the workers had hit upon decades-old radioactive material. It was reported that chemical waste was buried at the site more than 30 years ago after a truck carrying radioactive isotopes from Sydney to Brisbane was involved in a crash. But so far the soil has tested negative to radioactive material, as well as pesticide, hydrocarbon, biphenyl and other metals.

April 25, 2012 - Associated Press - AZ legislators favor nuke waste storage site - The Arizona Legislature is going on record as saying it wants the federal government to consider establishing a site in Arizona to store spent nuclear fuel. The House on Tuesday approved a Senate-passed memorial that says placing a permanent storage site for spent nuclear fuel in Arizona would create thousands of jobs both during construction and afterward. The legislation sponsored by Republican Sen. Al Melvin of Tucson has no binding effect. Passage means the memorial will be sent to congressional officials. Democratic Rep. Tom Chabin of Flagstaff says the legislation is a waste of time and irresponsible. He says most Arizonans don't want nuclear waste in their backyard.

April 25, 2012 - Las Vegas Review-Journal - Senate bill takes first new step on nuke waste - Sen. Dianne Feinstein unveiled a bill Tuesday that she said takes a first step, though admittedly a small one, to relocate thousands of tons of nuclear waste left in limbo by the cancellation of the Yucca Mountain repository. The Department of Energy would be given the authority to get started on a search for one or more volunteer states or tribes to host above-ground storage for used nuclear fuel, according to the fiscal 2013 spending bill for Department of Energy programs. Feinstein, D-Calif., is the chairwoman of the Senate energy and water subcommittee that approved the bill and sent it to the full Appropriations Committee for review on Thursday. The nuclear waste provisions are a small part of the $33.4 billion measure that funds the DOE and also the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Feinstein said the nuclear waste authority in the bill is a "very limited" pilot program. It directs DOE to initiate a new "consent based" search for locations where nuclear fuel now stored in pools and in casks at 78 sites around the country could be consolidated at one or more complexes. >

VMS Ventures Inc.: Reed Copper Project and Reed North Area Exploration Update, Snow Lake, Manitoba

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - April 24, 2012) - VMS Ventures Inc. (TSX VENTURE:VMS) ("VMS") announces results from the 2012 winter drilling program at the "Reed Copper project" and "Reed North". The operator of the projects is Hudbay Minerals Inc. (TSX:HBM)(NYSE:HBM) ("Hudbay").

At the Reed Copper project, one hole was completed and one hole was abandoned due to deteriorating ice conditions. A total of 1,632 metres were drilled. Near the Reed Copper deposit, hole RLE030 was drilled to a depth of 725 metres testing a Time-Domain Electromagnetic anomaly. In the Reed North area, two holes were completed and two other holes were abandoned. A total of 1,475 metres were drilled at Reed North.

Site preparation is now on-going for the underground development of the Reed Copper project. Trenching for the portal entrance has begun, an office trailer has been mobilized to the site and other surface infrastructure has been established.

Neil Richardson, VMS' Chief Operating Officer, states: "We were disappointed to lose the initial hole testing for the down plunge extension of copper rich Zone 10 at Reed, so we will have to wait until next winter to determine the presence of mineralization between the 500 and 800 metre levels. Drilling of the Reed North area continues to show interesting intersections, but no significant lenses have been discovered to date. The trenching of the portal entrance at Reed has begun and represents the first milestone in bringing this deposit to commercial production."

Two holes tested the down plunge continuation of the high grade copper lens (Zone10) below the current planned mining levels. The first hole, RLD040, was collared on an un-named lake just south of the deposit. This hole reached a depth of 526 metres before the drill was pulled off the collar site due to deteriorating ice conditions. Hole RLD041 was collared and intersected the projected Zone 10 horizon around the 1,000 metre level. No significant sulphides were noted in the core at that depth. Follow-up BHPEM survey failed to detect any significant sulphides. The 500 to 800 metre level of the projected Zone 10 horizon remains untested.

Four holes were collared in the Reed North area. Two holes reached their target depth and two were abandoned due to drilling problems. Hole RLE031 intersected 1.12m of 12.63% zinc. Follow-up hole RLE034 targeted the up-dip projection of this Zn-rich lens, but failed to intersect any significant economic mineralization.

Hole RLE030 targeted a time-domain electromagnetic anomaly situated between the Reed Copper deposit and the Highway Zone. This hole intersected near-solid pyrrhotite that explained the EM anomaly, but no economic sulphides were observed.

All technical information in this release has been reviewed by Dr. Mark Fedikow, P.Geo, who is the Qualified Person for the Company and Vice President of Exploration and Technical Services, VMS Ventures Inc.

QUALITY ASSURANCE AND QUALITY CONTROL

Exploration core drilling was NQ size. The core was logged and mineralized intersections were marked for sampling and assaying by geologists and geotechnicians employed by HudBay's Hudson Bay Exploration and Development Company Limited (HBED) subsidiary. The marked intersections or intervals were sawn in half by a diamond saw and one half of the core was placed in plastic bags and tagged with unique sample numbers, while the second half was returned to the core box and stored. Each bagged core sample was transported to HudBay's Hudson Bay Mining and Smelting Co., Limited (HBMS) subsidiary's assay laboratory in Flin Flon, Manitoba where it was dried, crushed and pulverized and a 250-gram sample was prepared for assaying at Acme Analytical Laboratories Ltd., an independent company in Vancouver, B.C., or the HBMS assay laboratory. From each 250 gram sample 0.25 grams was removed and leached in aqua regia and analyzed by ICP-AES for Ag, Cu, Zn, As, Pb, Ni and Fe. Also from the 250 gram sample, 30 grams were removed for gold determination by fire assaying with an ICP-AES or gravimetric finish at the Acme laboratory or an Atomic Absorption or gravimetric finish at the HBMS laboratory.

Assay integrity is monitored internally with a quality control program, which includes the use of standard reference materials, blanks, duplicates and repeats and externally through national and international programs. In addition, within each group of 20 core samples, one core sample has a second 250 gram split collected that was check assayed at a different laboratory, either the HBMS laboratory in Flin Flon or at the Acme laboratory in Vancouver, B.C. This news release provides core lengths and estimates of vertical thickness only. True widths are not provided. Where metal assays are provided for intersections they are either a single assay of a sample of the entire intersection length or a composite of assays calculated from interval weighted assays over the intersection length.

April 24, 2012 - PhysOrg - Proteomics identifies targets of ionizing radiation in a human skin model - Experimental design of quantitative phosphoproteomics analysis. Top: Cartoon illustration of the full thickness of reconstituted human skin used. Shown are the stratified layers of the epidermis and the dermal layer consisting of fibroblast cells embedded in an extracellular matrix. Each layer is not necessarily drawn to scale. Middle: Shown is a tissue section from the reconstituted human skin tissue used in this study stained with a filaggrin antibody (dark brown) to demonstrate the differentiation status of this tissue. Bottom: 1 hour post-exposure, lysates were prepared from each skin sample treated with a different radiation dose (0, 3, 10, and 200 cGy), digested with trypsin, and labeled with a different iTRAQ tag. The samples were then recombined, phosphopeptides enriched with IMAC, and analyzed by LC-MS/MS. Four biological replicates were performed in which the iTRAQ labels were rotated for each radiation dose.


April 24, 2012 - Kansas City Star - Bill to ease radioactive rules makes some in Missouri worry - An amendment quietly added to legislation in the Missouri House would make it easier -- and far less expensive -- for a Canadian company to ship radioactive material through the state. If the change becomes law, Ontario-based Nordion Inc. would no longer pay a fee or face mandatory inspections in Missouri for shipments of cobalt-60, a radioactive material the company sells for use in the sterilization of medical devices. The amendment was written by a trade group of which Nordion is a member and presented to lawmakers by veteran Jefferson City lobbyist John Bardgett Jr. Critics contend the change has the potential to put public health and safety at risk. "All this would do is remove some of the protections the public deserves when a hazardous material is shipped through the state," said John Hickey, Missouri chapter director of the Sierra Club. "The fee is a fair way to reimburse the public for costs associated with ensuring this material is shipped in a safe manner." Supporters of the measure counter that the shipment of cobalt-60 is safe and already undergoes rigorous inspection when it enters the country.


April 24, 2012 - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review - Groups call for look at current 10-mile evacuation radius - When an earthquake and tsunami caused a meltdown and radiation release at the Fukushima Daiichi power plant in Japan, authorities evacuated everyone within a 12-mile radius, and U.S. officials told Americans within 50 miles to get out. Last year's devastation in Japan has some people wondering whether the 10-mile evacuation zone that the U.S. government has mandated since 1978 -- before Three Mile Island, Chernobyl or Fukushima -- should be expanded. "We're right on the lip here," said Terri Hardisky, 50, of Findlay, who lives about 11 miles from FirstEnergy Corp.'s Beaver Valley Power Station in Shippingport. "If something happened, it could go further than 10 miles. You just never know." The Nuclear Regulatory Commission, state officials and FirstEnergy say 10 miles is enough. Extending it to the 50-mile radius that was suggested in Japan would increase the affected population from 113,500 to 3.2 million people in three states and could overwhelm emergency responders. "Even if you created a huge event where you had a worst-case scenario, radiation levels outside the 10-mile radius wouldn't be expected to exceed EPA guidelines," said FirstEnergy's Jennifer Young, spokeswoman for the Akron, Ohio-based power company.


April 24, 2021 - Nuclear Engineering International - SCE finishes tube inspection at SONGS 2 - Additional inspection of the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) unit 2 steam generators on 11 April identified wear in two of the 19,454 tubes, Southern California Edison (SCE) has informed the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). Testing at SONGS unit 2 was ordered after higher than normal wear was identified in around 1% of the steam generator tubes at SONGS 3, following a steam generator leak in January. At the time unit 2 was already in service for a planned outage and SCE decided to carry out additional SG testing. On 21 April, SCE also provided a letter to the NRC to update the regulator on the ongoing unit 2 steam generator tube inspections and confirming the actions that it must complete at SONGS before seeking permission from the NRC to restart units 2 and 3. SCE said in a statement that it remains committed to bringing the units online when it and the US regulator are satisfied that it is safe to do so.

April 23, 2012 - Bloomberg News - Republicans Push Spending to Dump Waste in Reid Back Yard - A proposed nuclear waste dump outside Las Vegas that the U.S. Senate’s top Democrat has spent years trying to kill is back on the congressional agenda as Republicans are pushing for it in spending bills. House Republicans want to provide $25 million to revive the Yucca Mountain site in Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s home state of Nevada, one of the thousands of spending line items that lawmakers began considering last week. The waste site proposal illustrates the parties’ divergent visions for dividing as much as $1.047 trillion Congress can allocate for the fiscal year that starts Oct. 1. “There are different priorities on each side of the rotunda,” Illinois Senator Richard Durbin, the chamber’s second-ranking Democrat and a member of the Appropriations Committee, said last week in an interview. “Then, of course, we’re in a presidential campaign year, and there are going to be differences, whether it comes to individual projects or overall spending. So all of these things together make it more challenging.”




April 23, 2012 - Grand Junction Sentinel - Naturally occurring radioactivity part of Western Slope life - Coloradans are subjected to, on average, four times more naturally occurring radiation than the average American. It is the price of living in a mountainous and geologically rich region, but the full impact of that background radiation on residents’ health is poorly understood. Aside from an increased risk of skin cancer because of higher elevations and a heightened but avoidable lung-cancer risk from radon seeping from uranium-rich soils, it appears the higher-than-average background radiation levels in Colorado, and Mesa County in particular, are still lower than what would be deemed hazardous. Some experts even believe the low levels may have beneficial effects, up to a point, but it is notoriously difficult to fully isolate the effects of something as ubiquitous as background radiation from the hundreds of other factors that affect human health. Whatever the impacts, it is clear people in this region live surrounded by heightened — and ancient — levels of radiation. When Grand Junction’s Climax Uranium Mill closed its doors for the final time in 1970, it left a lingering legacy of radiation in the community. But it was not the first do so.




April 23, 2012 - Michigan Radio - A Return To 'Safety First' For Michigan Nuclear Plant - The Palisades nuclear power plant in Michigan had five unplanned shutdowns last year. It's one of the area's biggest employers, and its safety record is one of the worst in the country. Now it's trying to prove to federal regulators that it can meet their standards. On the shores of Lake Michigan, the Palisades Power Plant is tucked in between tall sand dunes in Covert Township, Mich., at the southern edge of Van Buren State Park. Kathy Wagaman, who heads the chamber of commerce in South Haven, 7 miles north of Palisades, said she remembers spending summer days at the state park, playing football, swimming and sailing with no real concerns about the plant. "Back in the '80s and early '90s — actually, up until 9/11 — we all used to swim in front of it because the water was warm," she said. Wagaman said the nuclear plant is one of the largest employers in Van Buren County, with about 700 workers on any given day. In fact, the Palisades plant is the county's largest taxpayer. "They've been a very good neighbor," she said, "and I just feel confident that they're taking good care of this."

Falken Industries Ltd (FLKI) pushed forward with its business when many of its competitors were slowing down – it has become an industry constant.

"Many of our competitors were wrapping up sales operations during the so-called crisis, scaling down their workforce, and going into hibernation until the storm had past," said Manuel Garcia, FLKI’s Communication Officer, in a recent press release. "We saw an opportunity to push our business forward when everybody else was taking a break, or worse yet conceding market share ."


The strategy may have paid off – big time.

Falken (OTC : FLKI), which is global leader in professional, industrial and consumer product conceptions, best known for those commercialized by the Clean Plus® Product Group in Scandinavia – see www.cleanplus.com and www.falkenltd.com offers daily productions of 160 products over a global distribution network. Revenues are expected to record substantial growth this year in 19 major markets. The company which has been profitable since 2009, reported record profits for 2011 at .0114 cents per share (EPS). Its common stock suffering from the same ills as some blue chips, is selling at 36% or less of book value.

Unlike its competitors, FLKI enjoys substantial price advantages from the development of years of hedging strategies for chemical and other components essential to the production of its conceptions. Unique in the industry for its high end logistics and production, FLKI recorded 98.4% on time and complete deliveries, all markets combined.

An innovative business model

Another differentiator between FLKI and its competitors is its distribution business model.

FLKI competitors have become notorious for outsourced customer care and the poverty of customer support has become a cliché, with product quality suffering from extensive and ill-supervised production licensing agreements – creating a market where any product made, the brand goes on. FLKI long ago reversed the experience through a "proprietary business model” called Super Distribution which includes compensation and support which compensates distributors for both customer loyalty and new customer acquisition" Garcia added.

Will 2012 be a breakout year for FLKI?

I believe it will, and the stock at these prices is in my view a guaranteed 200/300%. Do your own check you'll agree.

April 23, 2012 - PM - Doctor says toxic spill site made 16 sick - There are new claims about the site where road workers upgrading the Pacific Highway near Port Macquarie in New South Wales became violently ill last week. The doctor who treated 16 people who did the initial clean up in 1980 says the workers suffered from chemical and radiation exposure. Last week workers got ill when they unearthed a toxic dump from a 1980 truck accident and spill. The doctor says their plight has been ignored and wants the Government to pay proper compensation. The New South Wales Government has launched an independent inquiry and the Roads and Maritime Service says the site is not contaminated by radiation or toxic chemicals.


April 23, 2012 - Business Day - Regulator questions safety of nuclear waste storage - The National Nuclear Regulator (NNR) has suspended the receipt of nuclear waste from the South African Nuclear Energy Corporation (Necsa) and the Koeberg power station, following noncompliance by the corporation at its Vaalputs nuclear waste storage facility. The noncompliance raises concerns about the correct storage of nuclear waste, especially in light of SA’s expected building of nuclear power stations. A radioactive waste drum was discovered in June last year to be "a contravention of the licensing agreement", regulator spokesman Gino Moonsamy said yesterday. "We engaged with them, and issued several warnings, and they didn’t comply." Vaalputs, in the Northern Cape, is the national nuclear waste facility, and accepts low-level waste.


April 23, 2012 - Oregon Live - Ron Wyden's nuclear field trip - Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden's recent daylong field trip from Tokyo to the zone of Japan's nuclear devastation is worth at least a week in the telling. Bunny-suited with a breathing device for protection against radiation exposure, Wyden walked through the ruined Fukushima Dai-ichi complex and saw what few from the West have seen: another bomb waiting to go off. The senator is not typically alarmist. But his field notes, followed by letters to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Energy Secretary Steven Chu, signal alarm. They paint a picture of extreme nuclear vulnerability, especially in Reactor No. 4, inactive at the time of the quake and tsunami but wrecked by explosion. The reactor now warehouses Fukushima's hottest inventory of radioactive fuel rods in a seismically jittery part of the world. Wyden completed his tour by asking Japan, with written urgings for help from Clinton and Chu, to sharply speed up a cleanup expected to take 10 more years. His fear is that another big seismic event will trigger another disaster before the cleanup is completed -- exposing Oregon and the West Coast to potentially lethal risk. "What we learned the first time is that radioactivity leaks out quickly," he told The Oregonian Friday. "If (No. 4) ruptures now, it gets into the air, and that's very troubling to us in Oregon. This must not happen."


April 23, 2012 - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review - Groups call for look at current 10-mile evacuation radius - When an earthquake and tsunami caused a meltdown and radiation release at the Fukushima Daiichi power plant in Japan, authorities evacuated everyone within a 12-mile radius, and U.S. officials told Americans within 50 miles to get out. Last year's devastation in Japan has some people wondering whether the 10-mile evacuation zone that the U.S. government has mandated since 1978 -- before Three Mile Island, Chernobyl or Fukushima -- should be expanded. "We're right on the lip here," said Terri Hardisky, 50, of Findlay, who lives about 11 miles from FirstEnergy Corp.'s Beaver Valley Power Station in Shippingport. "If something happened, it could go further than 10 miles. You just never know." The Nuclear Regulatory Commission, state officials and FirstEnergy say 10 miles is enough. Extending it to the 50-mile radius that was suggested in Japan would increase the affected population from 113,500 to 3.2 million people in three states and could overwhelm emergency responders. "Even if you created a huge event where you had a worst-case scenario, radiation levels outside the 10-mile radius wouldn't be expected to exceed EPA guidelines," said FirstEnergy's Jennifer Young, spokeswoman for the Akron, Ohio-based power company.

Forex Trading Course – How to take this Price Action Pin Bar



Forex trading pair: Gold (Xau usd)
A forex price action pin bar formed as showed in the blue highlighted box.
Lets Analyze this price action pin bar:
1) Pin bar formed off the 25 moving average (yellow line)
2) Pin bar protrudes out from surrounding prices. But the nose could be longer.
3) The past few bars before the pin were all bearish bars. Which would make me doubt on whether the small pin has the strength to take on the previous bearish bars
4) The over trend is in an uptrend
Forex Trading Course – How to take this Price Action Pin Bar

So this is a retracement pin bar. To play this pair, i would have placed a pending buy order on the break of the pin. (marked by the dotted orange line)
Stoploss would be below the pin (marked by the dotted red line)
As we can see the next bar would have triggered our stoploss had we entered the trade right at the close of the pin.
This is the power of pending orders.
So by placing pending orders in such a scenario. We would not miss out on trades that go our way, and we will miss taking trades that didn’t go our way.
As always – Trade with a plan and if there isn’t a plan. Skip the trade.

Hello Trader!

If you've kept an eye on the U.S. economy, all I have to say about today's alert is its name.

Home Health International, Inc. (HHII) provides, you guessed it, home-based healthcare.

This business is growing 7.7% a year, more than double the overall economy. (Read more)

That's practically the growth you can get in China these days!

HHII is on an "aggressive" acquisition spree to scoop up local agencies, so its share is growing even faster. (Read more)

And that promise of above-trend growth has lit a fire under the HHII chart.

Before HHII started teasing us about its first buy on April 3, this stock was barely liquid.

Turnover was maybe $1,500 a day.

Now, a good day moves 2 to 6 MILLION shares of HHII and the volume bars are still rising.

That kind of "volume spike" means that for all practical purposes, you can ignore whatever you see on the chart previous.

It's too small to be relevant to the all-new HHII era.

HHII management sees a good thing going. They've kept priming the pump with NEWS.

An all-new website came last Wednesday! (Read more)

The day after that, HHII signed the papers to acquire its first home health chain, Associated Home Health. (Read more)

AAH might ring a bell. They're based in the retirement havens of Florida, but have expanded up to Pennsylvania and as far west as Ohio. (Read more)

They're already Medicare certified so HHII can get reimbursed for working with poorer and older patients.

So what do they do? Make house calls to the elderly, invalids, people who are too sick to go out and not ready for the nursing home.

This is everything from a hot meal and changing the sheets to highly skilled medical assistance. (Read more)

Basically, HHII turns the home into the "nursing" home!

Since 69% of people who need home healthcare are over 65 and Florida leads the country in that age group, they're in the right place.

This is a $65 BILLION market...and HHII is at ground zero! (Read more)

If you're hungry for the "green shoots" of the new economy, HHII has the growth.

Plus the HHII chart is on the move for the first time ever.

See if it will make this Friday fun!

April 20, 2012 - Statesman Journal - Feds should utilize salt beds for waste - Two or three times a day, trucks carrying radioactive drums loaded with transuranic waste from U.S. nuclear installations up to 1,000 miles away arrive at a non-descript building in the Chihuahuan desert in southeastern New Mexico. There, the containers are lowered a half-mile into the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant, or WIPP, the world’s only operating deep-geologic repository for nuclear waste. Since the facility opened in 1999, more than 200,000 tons of highly radioactive waste from the production of U.S. nuclear bombs — tools, machinery, gloves and clothes with small amounts of plutonium and other nuclear materials — has been placed in WIPP’s chambers. WIPP is regulated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the New Mexico Environment Department. Nuclear waste has been shipped to WIPP smoothly and safely without a serious accident or injury over 12 million miles so far — equivalent to about 4,900 trips between Los Angeles and New York City. DOE expects the waste shipments to continue for another 25 to 35 years, at which time the repository will be closed and sealed — 2150 ft. below the ground. What’s noteworthy about WIPP is that it has the enthusiastic support of the local government in Carlsbad, a city of 25,000 people, 26 miles away. WIPP has provided 1,300 permanent jobs, including many for scientists and engineers doing research on nuclear waste, and an equal number of support jobs.


Aprl 20, 2012 - Power Engineering - NRC issues notice about updated aging management criteria - Nuclear Regulatory Commission has issued a notice called: Updated Aging Management Criteria for Reactor Vessel Internal Components of Pressurized Water Reactors. The notice, published in the Federal Register on April 19 by Mark S. Delligatti, Deputy Director, Division of License Renewal, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, states: "The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the Commission) is supplementing a notice published in the Federal Registeron March 20, 2012 (77 FR 16270), that requested public comments on draft license renewal interim staff guidance (LR-ISG), LR-ISG-2011-04, "Updated Aging Management Criteria for PWR Reactor Vessel Internal Components."The original notice provided the ADAMS Accession Number for the main body of LR-ISG-2011-04 but did not include accession numbers for Appendices A and B of the LR-ISG. This supplement provides the appropriate ADAMS Accession Numbers for the LR-ISG in its entirety, and does not change any other information in the original notice for public comment."


April 20, 2012 - The Oregonian - Wyden urges faster disposal of tainted debris - Sen. Ron Wyden is pressing the Japanese government to move faster to clean up — and contain — radioactive debris from the Fukushima Daiichi complex, the facility that was virtually destroyed last year by the double-fisted disaster of an earthquake and tsunami. “The Japanese are talking about a 10-year program to move (radioactive fuel rods and other waste) to dry storage,” he said in an interview. “That is not soon enough. It’s got to be done more quickly. ... To me this is not a debatable proposition.” Wyden, a senior member of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, said his anxiety increased after touring the ruins April 6. Wyden said a quicker pace on cleanup is in the United States’ interest because a release of the radioactivity from the nuclear cores could contaminate water and sea life and could be carried eastward toward Oregon by prevailing winds. A prompt and efficient response to the wreckage could also calm nerves about the future and safety of nuclear power, he said.


April 20, 2012 - Brattleboro Reformer - Critic cites 'poor management' at VY - A quarterly inspection report that identified two issues of very low safety significance reflects poorly on Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant, said a nuclear safety advocate. "To be fair, Yankee is a large complex enterprise," said David Lochbaum, director of the Nuclear Safety Project of the Union of Concerned Scientists. "Things can and do go wrong. But adding things that go wrong that could have been avoided to the list of things that go wrong unavoidable is just poor management." Neil Sheehan, spokesman for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, said it will be keeping an eye on how the situation is resolved. "The company will have to address the underlying issues via the plant's corrective action program," he said. "We'll follow up to ensure that has taken place." Yankee is owned and operated by Entergy.


April 20, 2012 - CBS News - Lawmaker wants papers on radioactive dump released - A lawmaker said Monday he has confidential documents detailing state officials' concerns about possible groundwater contamination at a radioactive waste dump in West Texas, and is seeking official permission to release them. State Rep. Lon Burnam wrote a letter to Attorney General Greg Abbott asking him to waive the confidentiality agreement for documents expressing the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality's concerns about Waste Control Specialists LLC's application to build the site in rural Andrews County near the New Mexico border. Burnam, a Democrat from Fort Worth, said he obtained the documents under a 2009 open records request — and only after years of legal battles. He said he's not allowed to release what's in them but said they contain officials' concerns about the location of groundwater tables near the dump site; the margin of safety in the event of groundwater contamination; and the possible risk of public exposure to radiation.


April 20, 2012 - Associated Press - Idaho National Laboratory waste cleanup resumes after nearly 2-year hiatus - A federal cleanup project in southeastern Idaho resumed this week after a nearly two-year hiatus. The retrieval of transuranic waste at the Idaho National Laboratory was suspended in July 2010. That was six months after about 20 workers were exposed to radioactive waste when a plywood box broke open, though site managers said the doses were below acceptable levels. The project at the Advanced Mixed Waste Treatment Facility was put on hold after a second incident, which also involved the retrieval of a wooden box. Last year, a new consortium led by Babcock and Wilcox and URS Corp. won a $417 million contract to finish up cleanup of the transuranic waste. The group, which calls itself the Idaho Treatment Group, took over for the existing contractor, Bechtel BWXT Idaho.

Falken Industries Ltd. (FLKI) engages in the design, development, manufacture, and commercialization of high end chemicals and impregnated wipe solutions for industrial, professional and consumer uses.
*****
The company's products compete in three primary product segments:
* Industrial, from degreasers, to disinfection with customers including industrial giants, government and military
* Professional, from high end compounds, to nano-polishes, with customers ranging from chain car washes to trucking wash centers
* Consumer, present in hundreds of retail shops, notably gas stations, two lines are offered a Premium High End Line and a Classic line for price sensitive markets.
Reasons FLKI has a competitive edge
*****
According to information readily available in public forums and recent filings there are several factors that give FLKI a competitive advantage in its target markets.
*****
For starters, the company’s research and manufacturing base is in Europe in an important traffic center. “We believe the location of our production units makes the purchase of raw materials and sales of our products very convenient and reduces the costs associated with sales while reducing freight costs." Said Manuel Garcia, the company’s communication officer.
*****
FLKI has also developed products that "meet all of Europe’s stringent standards, which is a direct entry point to the North American market since those standards mostly exceed US requirements. “Due to our strict technical standards and quality control in the production process, our product conceptions have become well-known brands in their markets throughout the world."
*****
Another advantage FLKI has is competitive pricing. The company's products feature a cost and price advantage arising from its independently owned intellectual property, extensive hedging programs, and efficiencies. In 2011 the company performed 100% delivery in time and quantum, 98.4% of the time, the best in the industry. Projections for 2012 are to improve on that.
*****
For example, FLKI's consumer products are typically sold 25-40% under the price of its largest competitors (3M’s Meguiars®, Sonax, Clorox’Armor All®, AutoGlym, Turtle Wax®, Formula 1 to name but a few) which offer comparable products. In the professional and industrial area the advantage is equaled or exceeded. “As a result, we believe such products will continue to gain market share and be instrumental in improving FLKI’s competitive position and brand influence" continued Garcia.
*****
And finally, FLKI has long-term relationship with key laboratories and intellectual teams, which contribute to the company's growing expertise and reputation in the field of integrated chemical and wipe manufacture. "In addition, we have an experienced team of in-house technicians which contributes to our product's technical content and ultimately, our core competitiveness," added Garcia.
*****
The trademark Clean Plus® helps FLKI compete in a "fierce market"
*****
FLKI and the product groups operating distribution of its product conceptions are regularly honored with recognition for its branded products. FLKI owns a large number of intellectual properties.
*****
The Clean Plus® trademark for example "represents a comprehensive recognition" by the industry worldwide, of FLKI's "market, quality, efficiency and development and fully proves the market acceptance of Clean Plus® branded products, simultaneously improving the company's intangible assets and bolstering its ability to compete in the even increasingly fierce market" a recent press release stated.
*****
"For many years, the company has operated with a focus on honesty and credit, constantly increasing investment in technical improvements and aiming to both create a famous brand and form a good image. The company attaches great importance to intensifying the public identification of the enterprise and consolidating the influence of famous brands both in the corporate operating ideology and system and also the corporate image construction." Garcia said.
*****
*****
Could 2012 be a breakout year for FLKI?
I THINK SO – SO SHOULD YOU
Trading at 30% of its book value with EPS of 45% The Stock is in my view a STONG BUY
And true to historical performance two swing trades so far this year with 100%+

April 18, 2012 - Wauchope Gazette - No radioactive material at Herons Creek: Initial investigation - Roads and Maritime Services (RMS) is continuing investigations into an area near the Herons Creek to Stills Road Pacific Highway project. Before Easter, five workers displayed symptoms of nausea, sore throat, dry mouth and vomiting. An RMS spokesperson said the workers were immediately sent to a doctor as a precaution. “All workers have now recovered from symptoms and have reported back to work,” the spokesperson said. “RMS and its contractor BMD Contractors immediately implemented an exclusion zone around the area where the workers were affected until further investigations could be carried out. “No determination has yet been made about the potential source of the suspected contamination but initial investigations have shown there is no radioactive material at the site. "RMS takes the safety of all workers extremely seriously and their health is our first priority.” Tests should be able to confirm if there is a chemical present, what it is and how to remove it so work can restart safely. Another 13 workers were also tested but did not show any symptoms.


April 18, 2012 - ChannelOnlineTV - Jersey radon survey ends - Jersey's three month long Radon survey is about to end, and Islanders who were issued with a pair of radon detectors in January are being reminded that it is now time to return them so they can be analysed. The survey followed calls from an islander who feared his father's death in July last year was caused by a build-up of the harmful gas in his house. The radon survey was undertaken in conjunction with the Health Protection Agency (HPA) and the States of Jersey. High-risk areas were identified in Jersey and Guernsey and home owners were approached about installing detectors this January. Mike Arnold, head of the Environmental Health department said: “The detectors were sent out by the HPA early in January to be placed in homes for a three month period." The HPA are reminding participants that the detectors should be returned to them after 14th April. “Results should be available within a couple of months, and will be sent to householders and shared with the States of Jersey. If action is required to reduce exposure to radon, affected householders will be advised at that time.”


April 18, 2012 - Times of India - Smartphones to carry radiation tag from September - The new and stringent radiation emission rules for mobile phones and towers, which will for the first time stipulate emission levels for handsets sold in India and make it compulsory for these levels to be displayed on phones and retail outlets, will come into effect from September 1, 2012, telecom department officials said. All handset makers, mobile phone companies and tower cos will be informed of the deadline before April-end, the telecom department ( DoT) officials quoted above added. ET had first reported in November 2011 that the government had finalised radiation emission norms for cellphones and towers. Radiation emitted by cellphones varies from instrument to instrument and is measured in terms of specific absorption rate (SAR) - the amount of radio waves absorbed by the body tissue when a phone is in use. The new rules state that cellphones can be imported and sold in India only if the SAR level is below 1.6 watts per kg (W/kg). So far, India had unofficially followed European norms, which state that the maximum SAR level must not exceed 2 W/kg. According to the industry body representing handset makers, nearly 650 models of low-end Chinese handsets don't comply with the new emission standards and will have to be redesigned.

April 18, 2012 - Novinite - Nuclear Hopes Fade with the End of Bulgaria's Belene - Bulgaria has finally abandoned the building of a second 2GW nuclear power plant by the town of Belene on the banks of the River Danube. The building started more than 30 years ago and successive governments have spent hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars on it.This is not exactly the end of Bulgarian nuclear power. Kozloduy - Bulgaria's first nuclear plant - is still operating, and the government announced that it will add one reactor to it (a share of which is already paid for as part of the abandoned plant). In the town of Belene, local citizens organised a protest to declare their determination, a year after the Fukushima disaster, to have a nuclear plant - even in an earthquake zone. The Bulgarian Socialist Party announced the first thing it would do in power would be to revive the project. Most civil society organisations however are jubilant. For them it has been a long battle which united the growing national environmental movement and right-wing economic think tanks, incompatible political parties and movements, artists, writers and businesspeople into a formidable opposition to the Belene project.


April 18, 2012 - Aiken Standard - DOE audit finds SRNS contract violations - Savannah River Nuclear Solutions has not always met contractual obligations and received necessary approvals by the Department of Energy, an audit report by DOE's Office of Inspector General stated. According to the report, SRNS did not obtain DOE approval for awarding two noncompetitive contracts to Fluor and Newport News in 2009 nor did SRNS receive approval to increase the budget ceiling from $5 million to $40 million in one case and $500,000 to $15 million in the other. Additionally, the report observes a conflict of interest in SRNS officials directly involved in management of the two contracts in question, as the employees were assigned to SRNS but were still employees of the parent companies. "The relationship of these SRNS employees to the affiliates, coupled with their responsibilities associated with administering the two affiliate contracts, calls into question SRNS' ability to provide assurance that it was performing objectively and without bias and, as a result, preventing the affiliates from receiving an unfair competitive advantage," the report stated, although it acknowledged that no instance of "personal enrichment" was noticed. The report added that the conflict of interest had not been brought to the attention of DOE and goes against the terms of the contractor's master contract.

April 18, 2012 - Associated Press - Lawmaker Wants Papers On Radioactive Dump Released - A lawmaker said Monday he has confidential documents detailing state officials’ concerns about possible groundwater contamination at a radioactive waste dump in West Texas, and is seeking official permission to release them. State Rep. Lon Burnam wrote a letter to Attorney General Greg Abbott asking him to waive the confidentiality agreement for documents expressing the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality’s concerns about Waste Control Specialists LLC’s application to build the site in rural Andrews County near the New Mexico border. Burnam, a Democrat from Fort Worth, said he obtained the documents under a 2009 open records request — and only after years of legal battles. He said he’s not allowed to release what’s in them but said they contain officials’ concerns about the location of groundwater tables near the dump site; the margin of safety in the event of groundwater contamination; and the possible risk of public exposure to radiation. Burnam also said other paperwork that can be released indicates water has already seeped into a buffer zone around the radioactive waste disposal facility.

April 18, 2012 - Daily Helmsman - Radioactive device found on campus - University of Memphis officials recently discovered a radioactive device inside of a Dumpster on campus. The device was discovered on April 5 and its radioactive nature was confirmed on April 9. A radioactive device was extracted from a scrap metal Dumpster in an alley between the Heating and Cooling Plant and the Meeman Journalism Building on April 12. Sharon Whitaker, who works inside Meeman, said she was alarmed when she looked out her window and saw men in HAZMAT suits inside the Dumpster. “I just kept thinking in my mind, ‘Something is not right,’” she said. “Whenever you put on a HAZMAT suit, it’s got to be something that has to do with your health.” The radioactivity in the Dumpster was first detected on April 5 by monitors at Sims Metal Management, where a truck took the bin to dispose of the waste. The metal processing company routinely scans the contents of bins brought there to check for radioactive substances before admitting their contents into its facilities. Monitors initially detected radiation levels that were 35 percent above normal background radiation, also known as naturally-occurring radiation, in the bin brought from The University of Memphis. The truck carrying the Dumpster was scanned two additional times, producing slightly lower percentage results before the Dumpster was returned to its original location on campus that afternoon.


April 18, 2012 - Augusta Chronicle - Savannah River Site cancer compensation briefing draws hopeful crowd - Former Savannah River Site workers and their survivors attended a meeting Tuesday on new compensation opportunities for cancers linked to jobs at the site. The new category will make about 800 rejected claims eligible for reconsideration. The program has already paid out $502 million to more than 3,800 SRS workers diagnosed with one or more of 22 cancers related to radiation exposure, said Rachel Leiton, the director of the U.S. Labor Department’s Division of Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation. However, a new category for former SRS workers employed for at least 250 days between Jan. 1, 1953, and Sept. 30, 1972, will make about 800 previously rejected claims eligible for reconsideration for lump-sum payments of $150,000 or benefit combinations worth even more.



April 18, 2012 - Big Pond News - Radioactive fears on Pacific Highway - Workers upgrading the Pacific Highway near Port Macquarie vomit after unearthing suspected radioactive waste, says the project manager. The upgrade's project manager, Bob Higgins, said the workers became sick after unearthing a strange clay-like material near Port Macquarie. 'As we've taken down the cutting there we exposed the face of the existing material (and) came across a clay material that when it's exposed to air it gets an orange streak through it,' he told ABC Radio. 'There were a number of workers that felt a little bit of nausea and there was a bit of vomiting when they were in close proximity.' A truck carrying radioactive waste from Sydney's Lucas Heights nuclear reactor was involved in a crash on that stretch of highway in 1980. The truck was taking radioactive isotopes to Brisbane so the waste could be shipped to the United Stares. It was subsequently buried near the crash site.

April 17, 2012 - Nuclear Street - NEI: American Nuclear Plants Meet Deadline to Buy FLEX Safety Equipment - Every nuclear plant in the country has now purchased a long list of emergency equipment laid out in an industry-led effort to enhance preparedness following last year’s Fukushima Daiichi crisis. The Nuclear Energy Institute said Monday that all plant operators had met the March 31 deadline to buy the items, some of which have already been received. The gear includes diesel-powered pumps, air-driven pumps for flood equipment, hoses, generators, battery chargers, electrical switchgear, cables, fire trucks, satellite communications and material for emergency responders. The industry-favored FLEX strategy to enhance emergency preparedness seeks to place a wide range of equipment in diverse locations. It will be on hand in the event of beyond-design-basis accidents, unforseen events and extreme natural disasters like those that blacked out the Fukushima plant in Japan. “The nuclear industry is responding to the lessons learned from Fukushima with actions that provide the greatest safety benefit in the quickest amount of time,” NEI Chief Nuclear Officer Tony Pietrangelo said in a release.

April 17, 2012 - Portland Tribune - Wyden calls on Japan to accept nuclear clean-up help - After personally touring the damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear facilities in Japan, Oregon U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden has written a letter to Japanese Ambassador Ichiro Fujisaki strongly urging his company to accept international help to prevent more radioactive materials from being released into the environment. “The scope of damage to the plants and to the surrounding area was far beyond what I expected and the scope of the challenges to the utility owner, the government of Japan, and to the people of the region are daunting,” Wyden wrote in an April 16 letter. “The precarious status of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear units and the risk presented by the enormous inventory of radioactive materials and spent fuel in the event of further earthquake threats should be of concern to all and a focus of greater international support and assistance.”
April 17, 2012 - Bloomberg News - Japan may be atomic-power free next month - Japan may be without atomic- generated electricity for the first time in more than four decades next month when its last reactor still running after the Fukushima nuclear disaster shuts for maintenance. Since the crisis on March 11 last year, 53 of Japan’s 54 reactors have been shut either owing to damage from the earthquake and tsunami, government order, or mandatory maintenance. The plants provided 30 percent of the country’s electricity prior to March 11. The last one running on the northern island of Hokkaido goes offline from May 5. Japan may “momentarily” be without atomic power from that date, the Mainichi newspaper cited Industry Minister Yukio Edano as saying on April 15 after he spent the weekend in western Japan and failed to get immediate agreement from local authorities that reactors run by Kansai Electric Power Co. (9503) in Fukui prefecture passed safety tests and should restart. “Whether or not we can restart the reactors depends on future discussions,” he said at a Tokyo news conference today. The utilities powering the world’s third biggest economy have been forced to turn to coal, oil and gas-fired power plants to keep factories, offices and households supplied with electricity. Buying and importing those fuels is driving up costs and may lead to higher electricity bills and another drag on an economy that’s contracted in three of the last four years.

April 17, 2012 - Reuters - Fire prompts evacuation at nuclear research lab in Idaho - A welder's torch ignited a small fire on the roof of a building at a nuclear research laboratory in Idaho on Monday, prompting an evacuation, but no one was hurt and no radioactive material was involved, lab officials said. Nearly 100 employees were cleared from the building, part of a complex that includes facilities housing spent nuclear fuel and radioactive waste at the Idaho National Laboratory, the U.S. Energy Department's leading facility for nuclear reactor technology. The fire damaged 4 square feet (0.4 square meter) of the roof and was extinguished about 2-1/2 hours after smoke was first detected, the lab said in a statement. No radioactive material was affected or involved in the fire, and there was no release of radiation, the lab said. The complex of buildings where the fire erupted sits near the edge of the sprawling 890-square-mile lab site in the high desert of eastern Idaho, about 38 miles from the city of Idaho Falls.
April 17, 2012 - Platts - Initiative to shut California reactors fails to make November ballot - A key supporter of the failed effort to gather enough signatures to place an initiative on the California ballot in November to close the state's two nuclear power plants said Monday that he plans to sue the state to put the measure on the ballot. Under the proposed initiative, Pacific Gas and Electric's Diablo Canyon and Southern California Edison's San Onofre would be shut until the federal government has technology that would dispose of the radioactive waste those facilities generate. It is similar to a state law that bars construction of new power reactors in California until technology exists to dispose spent nuclear fuel. Ben Davis, a supporter of the initiative, said Monday in an interview that an analysis by the California Legislative Analyst Office, which by state law must appear on the petition, contained "false and misleading" statements that reduced support for the measure.

EUR/USD
Bounce off yesterday’s fresh one-month low at 1.2993, when the pair tested the upper border of very strong 1.3000/1.2950 support zone, provided near-term relief. Extension from today’s higher low at 1.3090, broke above yesterday’s high at 1.3146 and dented trendline resistance at 1.3155, with sustained break here required to open way for test of next strong barrier at 1.3200/11, main bear-trendline off 1.4246 / 12 Apr high / 55 day MA and confirm near-term base at 1.2993. Hourly studies are positive, but approaching overbought territory, while indicators on 4H chart are attempting to break above midlines. Daily studies, however, are still in the negative zone and only firm break above 1.3200 barrier would signal an improvement.
