More vulnerable nukes lining up to tee off... Nuclear Plant Starts Up On India's Tsunami-Vulnerable Coast npr.org October 22, 201312:44 PM A controversial nuclear power plant situated on a stretch of India's southeastern coast that was hit hard by the 2004 Asian tsunami has begun supplying the grid with electricity, officials say. The Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant, a joint project with Russia located at the country's southern extremity in Tamil Nadu state, was connected to the grid on Tuesday, The Indian Express reports. The newspaper says the start of operations at the plant — built at an estimated cost of $2.4 billion — was timed to coincide with Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's three-day visit to Russia, which ended on Tuesday.

TJ, if you check the oceanic Coriolis currents, you'll see monstrous circulation patterns which don't cross the equator much. For caesium and iodine to get from Fukushima outflow to NZ schnapper input to my mouth is going to be a very, very long haul, with little of it left after traveling so far through so many mouths to feed the food chain before going into my mouth. I guess homeopathic amounts of caesium and iodine will make it into the fillets of wild fish caught around the New Zealand continental shelf. While radioactive nuclides are undesirable food components, and radiation is also complicit in causing cancer, having learned a fair bit about them as medical treatment I'm not too worried compared with other things which reduce life expectancy from our telomere-determined perfect period to whatever "oooops, that was a mistake" shortened time we experience. I shall investigate to see whether my first impressions are correct that there's nothing to worry about compared with the other things which can and will go wrong in the body corporate of 8 billion people cerfing around Cyberspace, give or take a billion or 2. Such as, for example, a Zimbabwe and French revolution style monetary mania followed by a Maoistic maelstrom with a Rwandan ethnic cleansing. With so many more people available to join the fun compared with even 70 years ago, there is potential for more drama than ever. A bolide in the Pacific ocean of Tunguska size or perhaps larger would make the Japanese tsunami look trivial. H5N1-style viruses are busy too, with 70% mortality, preparing their activity. Simple failure of Cyberspace is going to be a heckuva mess as hordes now depend on continuous functioning of it. Mqurice
