There's something cheerfully perverse about filming a thriller and then tossing out the parts that would help it make sense, but Wim Wenders has a certain success with the method in "The American Friend." He challenges us to admit that we watch (and read) thrillers as much for atmosphere as for plot. And then he gives us so much atmosphere we're almost swimming in it; his 1979 movie was the most expensive production to date from the German New Wave, and one of the most visually rich.
But then the New German Cinema (which flourished from the late 1960s until the early 1980s) frequently looked strange and mannered. In that sense, if in no other, it resembled the great days of German expressionism that were ended by the rise of Hitler: The new German filmmakers use extremes of color and lighting, are willing to follow characters to the far shores of human behavior, and relish a sometimes self-conscious use of the camera. As in the classics of expressionism, they seem to add an additional, deliberately artificial, dimension to their characters and stories; flat realism doesn't interest them.
Maybe that's why they became the most interesting new force in European cinema since the French New Wave of 20 years earlierÑand maybe, too, that's why audiences were wary of them. They made movies you had to reach a decision about; you couldn't just sit there and let them massage you.
The key directors of New German Cinema were Werner Herzog, Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Volker Schlondorff, Margarethe von Trotta, Reinhard Hauff, and Wim Wenders. Of them all, Wenders is probably the most accessible, the most straightforward, and -- he claims it of himself -- the most "Americanized." And since "The American Friend" is largely in English, and in color, and has a Hollywood star of sorts (Dennis Hopper, looking about half recovered from being shotgunned in "Easy Rider"), it doesn't throw up the barriers of some of Herzog's and Fassbinder's work.
The trouble is, though, that it doesn't display Wenders at his best. His "Kings of the Road" is one of the best films of the 1970s. "The American Friend" lacks the same clarity and unsparing eye. It's deliberately murky, I suppose, in its tale of a criminal and personal triangle involving an American (Hopper) who becomes a middleman between a French gangster and a German picture framer. The gangster wants to hire a hit man; the German agrees to take the job because he thinks he's dying and wants to provide for his family; and the plot thickens when it turns out the Frenchman faked the fatal diagnosis.
Are you following this? Don't bother too hard; Wenders leaves out chunks of plot and goes instead for the feel of his characters and their cities (the film movies through New York, Paris, Hamburg and Munich, sometimes without immediately identifying its locations). He examines the growth of a friendship between the German and the American -- a friendship, with its uneasy possibilities of danger and death, that suggests the relationship between the Orson Welles and Joseph Cotten characters in "The Third Man."
And the look of the film is hypnotic: The brashness and deepness of the colors, the exaggeration of lighting and setting, the extraordinary subtlety of some scenes and the almost aggressively cheap and garish look of others. That's really what Wenders has to offer here, and maybe it's not quite enough. He knew his people better in "Kings of the Road." He has great style in "The American Friend," but it's about missing persons.
The film is interesting however in light of many of Wender's later films, which continued to show a heightened awareness of the way people and cities live together. Consider his treatment of Berlin in "Wings of Desire" (1988) and its sequel "Faraway, So Close!" (1993), of Los Angeles in "Hammet" (1983), of Tokyo in the little-seen "Tokyo-Ga" (1985), and of a man hanging out with nothing to do, and gradually being absorbed into a daily life in Lisbon in "Lisbon Story" (1995). His city pictures alternate with road movies like "Kings of the Road," "Paris, Texas" (1984) and an odyssey through 20 cities in "Until the End of the World" (1991). His central theme is often the same: A man, alone and isolated, wanders the cities of the world in search of truth either large or small.

Cross-modal and non-sensory influences on auditory streaming
Robert P Carlyon, Christopher J Plack, Deborah A Fantini, Rhodri Cusack
Received 20 January 2003, in revised form 6 June 2003
Abstract. Carlyon et al (2001 Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance 27 115 - 127) have reported that the buildup of auditory streaming is reduced when attention is diverted to a competing auditory stimulus. Here, we demonstrate that a reduction in streaming can also be obtained by attention to a visual task or by the requirement to count backwards in threes. In all conditions participants heard a 13 s sequence of tones, and, during the first 10 s saw a sequence of visual stimuli containing three, four, or five targets. The tone sequence consisted of twenty repeating triplets in an ABA - ABA ... order, where A and B represent tones of two different frequencies. In each sequence, three, four, or five tones were amplitude modulated. During the first 10 s of the sequence, participants either counted the number of visual targets, counted the number of (modulated) auditory targets, or counted backwards in threes from a specified number. They then made an auditory-streaming judgment about the last 3 s of the tone sequence: whether one or two streams were heard. The results showed more streaming when participants counted the auditory targets (and hence were attending to the tones throughout) than in either the 'visual' or 'counting-backwards' conditions.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Abo app for that
IT all started when I was sightseeing in downtown Toronto last week.
I've been all over Canada, but I've never seen so many designer handbags, BMWs and Porsches in my life.
Wow -- Torontonians really know how to live large; or at least, they know how to spend large. I wondered what everyone does to make so much money.
If I ever wanted to have enough money to drive a BMW, I figured I'd need to get a few entrepreneurial ideas brewing. While sightseeing, I noticed quite a few people on their smartphones, using different apps.
Apps -- or software applications that entertain and help us -- are all the rage. I got an iPad a few months ago, and I'm addicted to apps.
Maybe I could follow the lead of a friend of mine, who launched an Ojibway language app, and create some aboriginal apps of my own. I could make millions.
Here are a few ideas I thought of while strolling around T-Dot.
- Abo maps -- I could have used an Abo-maps app on my trip to Toronto.
Wouldn't it be great to show up in a new town or city and be able to get directions to a list of aboriginal organizations or businesses right on your cellphone?
Abo-maps would have a voice-control navigator like Siri on the iPhone. We'd call ours Shania, and you could ask her questions and get the right answer.
Shania would tell you what bus to catch to get to the friendship centre or where to find some five-star fry-bread. Need directions to the closest rez? No problem.
At home, you could scroll through upcoming events or find an aboriginal carpenter or hairdresser.
But what about when you want to find an organization that takes furniture donations for needy families but can't remember the organization's name? Shania can help.
Ask her a question and she'll find it -- Oyate Tipi Cumini Yape on Selkirk Avenue.
- Abo-pedia -- It would be a total ripoff of Wikipedia, except focused entirely on the aboriginal scene.
Think aboriginal celebs, history, food, health, communities and interests.
There's tons of overlap when it comes to this. For example, there are aboriginal people living in most urban centres across Canada, as well as smaller communities.
There could even be an Abo-Leaks app for those "important documents" or telling photos of any alleged wrongdoing in Indian Country.
- The Neechifyer -- This is probably the most entertaining app idea I came up with.
There are tons of makeover apps out there that let you change your appearance. First you just take a picture of yourself and the fun begins.
Upload your picture and you can try on Jennifer Aniston's hair, get a virtual facelift, age yourself by 20 years or see what you'd look like if you gained 300 pounds.
So why not create an app that lets you transform yourself into an aboriginal person -- the Neechifyer.
This app could have mass appeal among the young hipster crowd, who love to dress up like us, as well as waifish women who like donning headdresses and not much else.
The app would have adjustable sliders to gradually make your skin, eyes and hair darker, as well as give you more pronounced cheekbones. That only makes sense, because there is no one-size-fits-all look when it comes to aboriginal people.
Now that would be cool.
As for the aboriginal folks like me, we could see what we'd look like with paler skin or blonde hair. Somehow I don't think I'd be able to pull off some Pam Anderson locks.
It'd be hilarious, though.
And who knows, maybe after trying out the Neechifyer, we could see a little of each other in ourselves. After all, the physical differences between us really are just skin deep.

NASA Selects SLS Adapter Hardware Manufacturer
NASA has selected Teledyne Brown Engineering of Huntsville, Ala., to design and build a key component of the new Space Launch System (SLS) rocket the agency is developing to send humans farther than ever into deep space.
The component is the Launch Vehicle/Stage Adapter (LVSA), which will be used to connect the rocket's 27.5-foot diameter core and 16.4-foot diameter interim cryogenic propulsion stages.
Nanosatellite and Microsatellite Market - Worldwide Market Forecast (2014 - 2019)
Under a $60 million contract action, Teledyne Brown will design, develop, test, evaluate and certify the LVSA assembly and manufacture the structural test article and two flight units. This work will be delivered under a cost reimbursement, fixed-fee engineering solutions and prototyping contract. The award has a potential performance period of five years and includes an option for a third flight unit.
In addition to launching NASA's new Orion spacecraft on crewed missions to deep space, SLS also may launch robotic spacecraft on deep space scientific missions. NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., manages the SLS Program for the agency.

Town Map
The Thread
Welcome to Macclesfield, an ancient market town nestling on the edge of the Peak District.
Historically a place of industry with a rich tradition in the manufacture of silk, its current incarnation is as a town with handsome buildings, great transport links, dynamic businesses and beautiful vistas of the breath-taking countryside a short stroll out of town. It has always forged its own unique identity which is characterised by an interesting rural/urban blend reflecting its industrial / market town heritage.
'Macc', as it is known to its residents, prides itself on its genuine, warm hearted and down to earth approach. It is passionate in its support for the things it cares about, whether it's the Silkmen - the local football team, its Rugby Club, its unique events and attractions or its wonderful independent shops, bars and restaurants. The town is a complex mix of vivid contrasts but is notable, above all, for its genuine, big hearted and independently-minded people.
It was the passion for the town held by a collective of driven individuals that led to the creation of Make it Macclesfield in 2010. Make it Macclesfield is now a Community Interest Company that aims to put Macclesfield on the map as a great place to visit, live, work, play and to start a business.
This website will tell you what Make it Macclesfield is seeking to deliver and will give you an opportunity to get involved. And if you want to know what's going on then check out our events guide '

After failures, TEPCO to use special cement to prevent contaminated water leaks
November 22, 2014
The operator of the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant plans to fill in trenches on the coastline in yet another attempt to prevent highly contaminated water from pouring into the sea.
Under the plan, approved by the Nuclear Regulation Authority on Nov. 21, Tokyo Electric Power Co. will inject a special cement mixture into the seaside trenches of the No. 2 and No. 3 reactors while pumping up radioactive water accumulating in them.
The special mixture does not absorb water so it can spread more easily along the bottom of the trenches, displacing the tainted water.
The new method will allow radioactive materials to remain in the surrounding soil, but TEPCO decided to employ the technique because it puts high priority on preventing massive amounts of highly contaminated water from leaking into the ocean.
This spring, TEPCO tried to stop the water influx at the trench for the No. 2 reactor by freezing the junction of the turbine building and the trench, but the operation was tough-going.
The company then attempted to stop the water inflow with a cement mixture, but was unable to do so completely.

TEPCO gives up on freezing tainted water
The tunnels have been inundated with water from the plant's heavily contaminated reactor buildings.
Tokyo Electric Power Company, or TEPCO, this year began work to freeze water at the ends of the tunnels to block the inflow. The firm finished the work early this month.
But TEPCO officials found that water levels in the tunnels were still changing in sync with volumes in the reactor buildings.
The officials admitted to the Nuclear Regulation Authority on Friday that the tunnels hadn't been plugged.
They said they're giving up on the plan, and proposed pouring cement into the flooded tunnels while removing water from them. They said they want this done from late November.
The authority's commissioners asked whether the new method can really halt the inflow. They also spoke of the risk of cracks forming in cement.
The authority approved TEPCO's plan in the end, on condition that the procedure be halted in late December to see whether it's working.
Commenting on the change, one commissioner asked what all the trouble over the past months was for.
Tepco fails to halt toxic water inflow at Fukushima No. 1 trenches
Nov 22, 2014
Tokyo Electric Power Co. admitted failure Friday in its bid to halt the flow of toxic water into underground tunnels alongside the ocean at the Fukushima No. 1 plant and said that it will try using a specially developed cement instead.
Some 11,000 tons of highly radioactive water have accumulated in the tunnels, trenches dug to house pipes and cables that are connected to the reactor 2 and 3 turbine buildings of the wrecked facility, according to Tepco.
There are fears that this toxic buildup, which is being caused by the jury-rigged cooling system and groundwater seepage in the reactor basements, could pour into the Pacific, which is already being polluted by other radioactive leaks. Groundwater is entering the complex at 400 tons a day.
Extracting the toxic water is a critical step in Tepco's plan to build a huge underground ice wall around the four destroyed reactors to keep groundwater out.
Initially, Tepco sought to freeze the water in a section of tunnel connected to the No. 2 reactor building. This was intended to stop the inflow and allow the accumulated water to be pumped out. The utility said it took additional measures that also failed.
On Friday, Tepco proposed a new technique for the tunnels: injection of a cement filler especially developed for the task while pumping out as much of the accumulated water as possible.
Under the new method, however, it would be difficult to drain all of this water and some of it would be left behind, endangering plant workers, Tepco acknowledged.
Nevertheless, a Nuclear Regulation Authority panel of experts green-lighted the new strategy at a recent meeting. Some of the experts argued that Tepco should stick to the original plan and draw out all of the water. Others said giving up on it may hamper the construction of the ice wall.

Japan's very problematic law on removing nuclear waste for Fukushima Prefecture
Diet passes legislation to remove nuclear waste from Fukushima in 30 years http://ajw.asahi.com/article/0311disaster/fukushima/AJ201411200041 November 20, 2014 THE ASAHI SHIMBUN
The Diet passed a bill Nov. 19 mandating that radioactive soil and debris from the Fukushima decontamination work be moved outside the prefecture within 30 years, a step toward building interim storage facilities for the waste.
The law amendment was one of the five conditions set in September when the Fukushima prefectural government agreed to accept interim facilities to store contaminated waste collected during cleanup efforts around the crippled Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant.
Environment Minister Yoshio Mochizuki praised the legislation as a "major step forward." However, hurdles remain high for the interim facilities–planned in Okuma and Futaba near the nuclear plant–to start accepting the waste in January as scheduled.
The bill amends a law regulating operations of the government-affiliated Japan Environmental Safety Corp. (JESCO), which is commissioned to dispose of used polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB).
The revised law stipulates the government will take necessary measures to remove waste from the prefecture for final disposal within 30 years after the interim facilities start operations. It also holds the government responsible for running the interim waste storage facilities and commissions JESCO to operate them.
Among the other conditions set by Fukushima Prefecture, the central government has agreed to earmark construction-related subsidies in its budget and take charge of the operation and maintenance of traffic routes for carrying in the waste.
One big problem for the government, however, is purchasing land for the facilities. The planned construction zone stretches 16 square kilometers, comprising 2,365 land plots belonging to individual owners.
As of the end of September, the government has located the whereabouts of only 1,269 landowners, partly because they live outside their properties as evacuees.
The government first plans to create temporary storage sites on individual land plots it purchases to start accepting radioactive waste there as early as possible. But it has not reached a purchase or lease agreement with a single landowner.
Taking into account this stumbling block, reconstruction minister Wataru Takeshita said Nov. 7 that the government's plan to open the interim storage facilities in January will likely be pushed back.

Radioactive slurry at Fukushima nuclear reactors would be a huge hazard, if it leaked out
Fukushima Daiichi Updates From IRID Part 3; Testing The Goo Simply Info, November 19th, 2014 (Good diagrams)
IRID has made some progress on their research to find ways to seal the containment structures at Fukushima Daiichi. The plan has been to flood the containment structures in order to provide shielding during the fuel removal procedures. Concern has been raised about the ability of these structures to hold the weight and pressure of that much water or how this would impact the structure during an earthquake. The structures are already severely damaged along with the many locations where they leak.
The current research effort is looking for ways to try to seal the leaks in each of the areas known to be a leak path for the containment structure. One aspect that has not been discussed is what would happen if these structures did have a failure and leak after flooding. It is known that the reactor containment structures contain some loose fragmented fuel and other highly radioactive debris. A major leak could let loose a considerable radioactive slurry that would need to be quickly contained and remediated………http://www.fukuleaks.org/web/?p=14136
Earthquake fault under Tsuruga nuclear reactor is active – say's Japan's Nuclear Regulator
Nuclear watchdog panel: Fault under Tsuruga reactor is active THE ASAHI SHIMBUN, 20 Nov 14
A fault line beneath the No. 2 reactor of the Tsuruga nuclear power plant is indeed active, an expert panel of the Nuclear Regulation Authority concluded Nov. 19, drawing criticism from the plant's operator.
Japan Atomic Power Co. vowed to challenge the panel's conclusion, which, if it stands, would force the company to decommission the reactor under new safety rules……..
The NRA's assessment of the fault last year came when Kunihiko Shimazaki, a seismologist known for his tough attitude toward power companies, was a deputy chairman of the watchdog. Utilities and ruling coalition officials criticized Shimazaki over his "hurried conclusion" on the Tsuruga plant.
Although Shimazaki's term ended in September and he was replaced, the NRA's position on the fault was not overturned.
The fault line survey at the Tsuruga plant was originally started at the request of the now-dissolved Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency.
Fault inspections are a separate process from the safety screenings required to restart reactors, so Japan Atomic Power can still submit an application to resume operations at the reactor.
However, NRA Chairman Shunichi Tanaka has said he would respect the expert panel's conclusion when deciding whether to allow reactors to restart.

Radioactive water keeps entering Fukushima Daiichi tunnels while water is pumped out
Radioactive water to tunnels unlikely stopped http://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/english/news/20141118_03.html Nov. 17, 2014 The officials overseeing the decommissioning of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant say a barrier designed to prevent radioactive water from entering underground tunnels is likely not doing its job.
The decommissioning work includes a plan to remove highly-radioactive water from tunnels under the facility grounds and then fill them with concrete to prevent leaks to surrounding soil.
A barrier to hold out water during this process was under construction until November 6th.
On Monday, workers removed 200,000 liters of water, estimating that water levels in the tunnels would drop by 80 centimeters.
However, the levels went down by only 20 centimeters. This led officials to conclude that more water was likely entering the tunnels from the reactor building while water was being pumped out.
The officials considered the effects of radioactive water on ground water, and decided on a plan to fill tunnels in with cement before they are completely drained.
They say the operation will require carefully handling to prevent any overflow of contaminated water.
Japan's Prime Minister Abe is banking on getting a new voter mandate
Abe is banking on getting a new voter mandate BY REIJI YOSHIDA, JAPAN TIMES 18 NOV 14 "…….Abe would never admit in public what is widely believed to be the real reason for the snap election: A campaign as early as next month will likely strengthen the ruling camp and Abe himself.
The prime minister plans to submit controversial bills to the Diet in the spring, including those based on his reinterpretation of the Constitution to expand Self-Defense Forces' missions overseas.
Next year, Abe also plans to reactivate some of the nuclear reactors that have mostly sat idle since the Fukushima meltdowns, a hotly contested move that would likely sap support from the Liberal Democratic Party in a national election next year……..
There is little doubt that the LDP-Komeito ruling camp will retain power, and Abe could even strengthen his political base within the LDP.

Tepco unable to halt tainted water flowing into tunnels at Fukushima
Nov 18, 2014
Tokyo Electric Power Co. appears unable to stem the flow of radioactive water from the No. 2 reactor building to underground tunnels at the Fukushima No. 1 power plant, officials said.
Tepco has injected cement into the joints that connect the tunnels, which are used to run cables, and the building to halt the flow of contaminated water and remove accumulations from the tunnels.
But water levels suggest the effort has remained unsuccessful so far, the officials said. The company began the cement injections after failing to create an "ice wall" over the summer by freezing water inside the joints that would have blocked the flows.
After the cement injections, Tepco pumped 200 tons of tainted water out of the tunnels Monday, causing levels inside to fall around 20 cm, the officials said.
However, if the joints were completely sealed, water levels would have fallen roughly 80 cm, the officials said, indicating the possibility that contaminated water is still flowing into the tunnels.
The officials also noted the possibility that groundwater may be flowing into the tunnels. However, recent data has shown that the amount of radioactive materials in the tunnel water was very high, an official in the Nuclear Regulation Authority said.
"Concentrations should have been lower if large amounts of groundwater are really flowing in," the official noted.
If the cement injections end in failure, too, Tepco plans to remove radioactive water while injecting cement into the tunnel — an operation that could put plant workers at greater risk of radiation exposure.
The tunnels are believed to contain some 5,000 tons of tainted water. Some observers believe the water may be leaking into the ground and reaching the Pacific.

Op-Ed: Fukushima disaster — Ignorance is bliss despite the dangers
The Sendai nuclear power plant will become the first of Japan's 48 commercial reactors to be restarted after they were all shut down since the Fukushima disaster in 2011
Little is reported in the media about the clean up after the Fukushima Power Plant disaster. After three years of cover-ups and misleading information, released to quell public fears, there is still reason to be wary. The danger is still very real.
The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant disaster in 2011 is still impacting lives today. Over 120,000 people from the area are living in a nuclear limbo, according to the guardian. Once close-knit families are now forced to live apart in temporary housing complexes, many of the homes hastily thrown up in an effort to get people out of radiation "hot-spots."
Japan's population has been inundated with half-truths and sometimes, outright lies, concerning the progress being made in the clean-up efforts in Fukushima. For the thousands of workers tasked with the laborious details of doing the actual work, just knowing their efforts are inadequate must be mind-numbing.
Fukushima Daiichi's manager, Akira Ono is the man in charge of the clean up efforts, and he admitted to the Guardian that there is little cause for optimism. No matter what the workers do, there is still a huge problem with contaminated water. Over 400 tons of groundwater flow every day from the hills outside the plant and into the basements where the three stricken reactors are located.
There, the water mixes with the coolant water being pumped in to keep the melted fuel from overheating and causing another nuclear accident. TEPCO says "most of the water" is pumped out into holding tanks, but ever-increasing amounts end up seeping into maintenance trenches, and then into the ocean. This has to be depressing for Ono and the men and women walking into the facility every day.
While Americans have been sitting back and ignoring the ongoing disaster that is Fukushima, other countries have taken notice. Germany and Italy are looking at the viability of continuing to depend on nuclear power, and are opting instead for other more eco-friendly sources. And surprisingly, the news media in other countries is also paying attention to what has been going on at the Fukushima power plant.
Arnold Gunderson, a former high-level nuclear industry executive, was cited in an article written in Al-Jazeera English, entitled "Fukushima: It's much worse than you think," in June, 2011. In the story, Gunderson is quoted as saying, the Fukushima disaster was "the biggest industrial catastrophe in the history of mankind. Twenty nuclear cores have been exposed at Fukushima." Gunderson also points out that the site's many spent-fuel pools give Fukushima 20 times the radiation release potential of Chernobyl.
If people on the North American coast think they are safe from the effects of radiation from the Fukushima disaster, not only are they dreaming, but they are going to be in for a rude awakening. Yes, there were a few stories telling us the radiation levels reaching our west coast were "tiny amounts," But how many additional infants are going to die, and how many more people, children and adults are going to end up with unexplained cancers before someone wakes up to what is happening?
And the American public needs to wake up right now. We have nuclear disasters just waiting to happen in our own back yard. From the Diable Canyon power plant in California, to the Cooper Nuclear Station near Brownville, Nebraska that was almost inundated with floodwaters in June, 2014, the list is getting longer and longer. The Nuclear Regulatory Committee has been forced to ease up on some regulations or just ignore them when it comes to helping power plants in the U.S. to meet what officials call "unnecessarily conservative" standards. Yes, ignorance is bliss. That is scary, folks,

Contaminated water swamps Fukushima No. 1 cleanup
The Advanced Liquid Processing System of the Fukushima No. 1 plant is seen Wednesday
Nov 16, 2014
More than three years into the massive cleanup of the Fukushima No. 1 power plant, only a tiny fraction of the workers are focused on key tasks such as preparing for the dismantling of the wrecked reactors and removing radioactive fuel rods.
Instead, nearly all the workers at Fukushima No. 1 are devoted to a single, enormously distracting problem: coping with the vast amount of contaminated water, a mixture of groundwater running into recycled water that becomes contaminated and leaks after being pumped into the reactors to keep their melted cores from overheating.
A number of buildings housing water treatment machines and hundreds of huge blue and gray industrial storage tanks to store the excess water are rapidly taking over the grounds at the plant, which saw three of its six reactor cores suffer meltdowns from the 3/11 quake and tsunami. Workers were still building more tanks during a visit to the complex Wednesday by a group of foreign media.
"The contaminated water is a most pressing issue that we must tackle. There is no doubt about that," said Akira Ono, head of the plant. "Our effort to mitigate the problem is at its peak now. Though I cannot say exactly when, I hope things start getting better when the measures start taking effect."
The numbers tell the story:
6,000 workers
Every day, about 6,000 workers pass through the guarded gate of Fukushima No. 1, located on the Pacific coast, two to three times more than when it was actually generating electricity.
On a recent workday, about 100 workers were dismantling a makeshift roof over one of the reactor buildings, while about a dozen others were removing fuel rods from a cooling pool. Most of the rest were dealing with contaminated water-related work, said Tatsuhiro Yamagishi, a spokesman for plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Co.
The work threatens to exhaust the supply of workers for other tasks, since they must stop working when they reach annual radiation exposure limits. Experts say it is crucial to reduce the amount and radioactivity of the contaminated water to decrease the risk of exposure to workers and the environmental impact before the decommissioning work gets closer to the highly contaminated core area.
40 years
The plant has six reactors, three of which were offline when disaster struck on March 11, 2011, a magnitude-9.0 earthquake that triggered huge tsunami that swept into the plant and knocked out its backup power and cooling systems, leading to core meltdowns in the three active reactors.
Decommissioning and dismantling all six of the reactors is a delicate, time-consuming process that includes removing the melted fuel from a highly radioactive environment as well as all the extra fuel rods, which sit in cooling pools situated at the top of the reactor buildings.
The entire job still requires finding out the exact conditions of the melted fuel debris and developing remote-controlled and radiation-resistant robotics to deal with them, and the work is expected to take at least 40 years.
500,000 tons
The main problem is an abundant inflow of groundwater into the contaminated water that doubles the volume and spreads it to vast areas of the compound. Workers have jury-rigged a pipe-and-hose system to continuously pump water into the reactors to cool the clumps of melted fuel inside.
The water becomes contaminated upon exposure to the radioactive fuel, and much of it pours into the reactor and turbine basements, and maintenance trenches that extend to the Pacific Ocean. The plant recycles some of the contaminated water as cooling water after partially treating it, but groundwater is also flowing into the damaged reactor buildings and mixing with contaminated water, creating a huge excess that needs to be pumped out.
So far, more than 500,000 tons of radioactive water have been stored in nearly 1,000 large tanks that workers have built, which now cover most of the sprawling plant premises. After a series of leaks from the storage tanks last year, they are now being replaced with costlier welded tanks.
That dwarfs the 9,000 tons of contaminated water produced during the 1979 partial meltdown at Three Mile Island in the United States. In that incident, it took 14 years for the water to evaporate, said Lake Barrett, a retired U.S. nuclear regulatory official who was part of the early mitigation team there and has visited Fukushima No. 1.
"This is a much more complex, much more difficult water management problem," Barrett said.
¥10 trillion
An estimated ¥2 trillion will be needed just for decontamination and other mitigation of the water problem. Altogether, the entire decommissioning process, including compensation for area residents, reportedly will cost about ¥10 trillion.
All this for a plant that will never produce a kilowatt of energy again.
The work threatens to exhaust the supply of workers for other tasks, since they must stop working when they reach annual radiation exposure limits. About 500 workers are digging deep holes in preparation to build a taxpayer-funded ¥32 billion underground "frozen wall" around the four reactors and their turbine buildings to try to keep the contaminated water from seeping out.
Tepco is developing systems to try to remove most radioactive elements from the water. One, the Advanced Liquid Processing System (ALPS), has been trouble-plagued, but utility officials hope to achieve a daily capacity of 2,000 tons when it enters full operation next month. Officials hope to be able to treat all contaminated water by the end of March, but that is far from certain.

RELEASE: Carbon Pollution from the Federal Coal Program is Costing More Than $19 Billion Per Year
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
Contact: Chelsea Kiene
Phone: 202.478.5328
Washington, D.C. – A new report released today by the Center for American Progress finds that the federal coal-leasing program in the nation's richest coal region, the Powder River Basin in Wyoming and Montana, is costing more than $19 billion per year in losses and damages resulting from carbon pollution.
Using recently released data and guidelines from the U.S. government, CAP calculated that the social cost of the carbon pollution that results from mining and burning federal coal from the Powder River Basin is currently $62 per short ton—4.5 times more than what the coal sells for on the domestic market.
"Between bargain basement prices, a noncompetitive leasing process, and sky-high pollution costs, taxpayers are losing big at every level of the federal coal program," said Matt Lee-Ashley, Senior Fellow and Director of the Public Lands Project at CAP. "With coal companies expanding their shipments of U.S. taxpayer-owned coal to China, now is the time to reform and modernize the BLM coal program."
The report notes that the federal coal program, managed by the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management, or BLM, appears to be enabling coal companies to mine and sell U.S. taxpayer-owned coal at prices that are dramatically below the price of coal produced from other domestic coalfields. At $13 per short ton, the market price for coal from federal lands in the Powder River Basin is, for example, one-fifth the market price of coal produced in the Appalachian region.
"As the single largest source of U.S. fossil fuels and carbon pollution, federal coal mined in the Powder River Basin is costing taxpayers billions of dollars a year," said Nidhi Thakar, Deputy Director of the Public Lands Project and a co-author of the report with CAP economist Michael Madowitz. "As the United States moves forward to cut carbon pollution and meet the president's goals under the Climate Action Plan, policymakers can't afford to leave the federal coal program behind."
When considering the carbon-pollution costs and below-market pricing of Powder River Basin coal, the cost of mining this publicly owned coal is a social loss of at least $49 per ton. With 388 million tons of federal coal sold from the Powder River Basin in 2012, this adds up to a net loss per year of more than $19 billion dollars.
The Powder River Basin currently accounts for approximately 40 percent of U.S. coal production overall and almost 90 percent of coal production from federal lands. More than 200 power plants across 35 states currently burn coal from the Powder River Basin.
In the report, the authors note that their analysis calculates the social costs of burning Powder River Basin coal based solely on carbon pollution. Adding other social and health costs for burning this coal, as well as foregone revenue, would result in an even higher estimate of the true costs paid by taxpayers.

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie called for a special session of the Democratic-led Legislature to pass his proposed tax cut, which he said lawmakers "held hostage" in the $31.7 billion budget approved this week.
Christie, a first-term Republican, said in a statement he has sent a letter to Senate President Stephen Sweeney and Assembly Speaker Sheila Oliver, both Democrats, notifying them of the session. Christie said he plans to address a joint session of the Senate and Assembly at 11 a.m. on July 2.
In his February budget address, Christie called for a 10 percent income-tax cut across the board. He later agreed with Democrats on a plan to give residents property-tax credits. Senate Budget Committee Chairman Paul Sarlo, a Democrat, said his party opted to delay the credits until later in the year, conditional upon revenue meeting expectations.
"The budget, which contained billions of dollars in spending, failed to address the single issue that strikes at the heart of our shared interests, and our continued prosperity," Christie, 49, said in the letter, according to a statement released today by his office. "Lowering the tax burden on every New Jersey resident is a matter of unique and critical interest that demands our immediate and full attention."
The governor vetoed $361 million in spending initiatives added on by Democrats when he signed the spending plan in Trenton. New Jersey law allows governors to call the Legislature into session when they deem doing so is "in the public interest."
Democrats in their budget stuck closely to the revenue and spending targets outlined by Christie and set aside $183 million in the state's rainy day account to cover property-tax credits.
The legislature's top budget analyst has said tax collections may drop as much as $1.4 billion below Christie's original targets through the end of next fiscal year, double a revised figure from Treasurer Andrew Sidamon-Eristoff.

VIDEO: The Strange Journey of Toronto's Crack Mayor
The mayor of Canada's largest city admitted to smoking crack but has no plans to resign or go to rehab. The news has been a boon for late-night comics.
Equal parts political scandal and personal tragedy is the revelation that Toronto police now have a copy of the videotape showing Mayor Rob Ford smoking crack cocaine. Ford has apologized repeatedly, and the expressions of contrition just might work. Not because Ford is an image-savvy well-coached politician. He is not. He is often an unscripted train wreck. The media cannot get enough. Nor can his constituents.
In fact, Ford's approval rating actually rose five points to a respectable 44 percent after the police service announced it had the tape. He says he has no plans to resign or go to rehab. He does plan to run for reelection next fall.
Observers in Canada attribute his enduring popularity to the so-called "Ford Nation" phenomenon. His loyalty owes much to the loyalty he engenders for being an ordinary, every man -- someone his constituents can see themselves having a beer with.
Still, the fallout from this Canadian curiosity in the week's news has been a boon for late-night comics but there is an underlying sadness to the whole thing, as you can see in this Dispatch video extra.

Just days after finishing his service as Chattanooga's police chief, Bobby Dodd has picked up papers to run for Hamilton County sheriff.
Former Chief Dodd went to the election office to get his petition late Thursday afternoon. He picked up as a Republican in the May primary.
He said afterward, "This is very preliminary, but I have been humbled by all the people who have urged me to run."
He said he has not made a final decision on running, "but I wanted to go ahead and pick up my papers so that I wouldn't miss any deadlines."
The 49-year-old former chief said, "It would be a true honor to work with the men and women of the sheriff's office. There are a lot of great people there. I would offer my managerial and leadership abilities and would help work to insure that the deputies would get fair treatment and to know that I would have their backs."
He added, "I am excited about the opportunity and we'll see what happens."
He said one person who is reluctant about the race is his wife. "She doesn't want me to keep growing through some of the things I have been through. But in the end she would support me."
The decision would set up a clash with longtime Sheriff Jim Hammond. Former Chief Dodd said the city police and sheriff departments have worked well together, but he said he and Sheriff Hammond did have some personal differences.
He said one area where they disagreed was on fundraising. He said, "I told Sheriff Hammond that i did not feel it was right to be taking funding from some people and not others. Fundraising was not part of my job description at the city." Sheriff Hammond has set up a Sheriff's Foundation to raise funds for law enforcement.
Former Chief Dodd said he took a job as safety director for Emerson Russell's EMC Security firm an hour after he left the city.
He was in the Army for three years and with the city police department for 26, including a command position for about the last 12 or 13 years. He has a criminal justice degree from UTC and is a graduate of the Southeast Criminal Justice Leadership Academy.
Chris Harvey, of the sheriff's office, is also in the race. He issued this statement: "So many are ready for a new Sheriff. Bobby and I had a good conversation. I have the utmost respect for him. He shared with me some of his thoughts. He hasn't made a final decision but no matter the final outcome I look forward to partnering with Bobby to improve the Sheriff's Office."
Former Chief Dodd unexpectedly turned in a two-week notice, and almost all of his command staff went out with him. They include Tommy Kennedy, Jeannie Snyder and Kirk Eidson.
One reason he cited was upcoming cuts to the police pension by the Berke administration.
