FUKUSHIMA: A Nuclear Catastrophe Compounded By Technospheric Breakdown
Earthquake, Tsunami and Nuclear Meltdown Converge to Create Global Perfect Storm
“Does anyone in their right mind believe that nuclear power plants can ever be designed, engineered or constructed to withstand 9.0 earthquakes followed by 15 meter high tsunamis? Sorry if we offend, but such a display of so deadly a combination of ignorance and arrogance must represent the very height of hubris. Particularly in view of the inevitable consequences which have manifested at Fukushima, how is it that so few saw this pre-ordained and disastrous outcome, except by willful blindness?”

How did it ever come to this?! In a nation that suffered the greatest Nuclear Holocaust in modern history. How did the world community ever allow 55 nuclear reactors to be built in the most seismically active region of the planet?! Why?
No other industry more poignantly represents what can go horribly wrong — for the entire planet — like the Nuclear Power Industry. The industry paradigm is so fatally flawed, and has such profound and fundamental safety vulnerabilities, that it should never have proceeded in the first place.
That the world community has yet to come together to address this nuclear catastrophe, which will most assuredly affect every square in of the planet, is even more inconceivable. Just like the BP Gulf Oil Spill, the moment has been seized by those who would rather take advantage of this ‘distraction’ instead of using the opportunity to systematically shut down the entire industry.
“When scientific knowledge and applied technology reach a certain level of advancement, without being informed by spiritual truths and guided by moral authority, the current civilization will relinquish its right to continue as it is.”

The preceding statement illustrates where the scientific community is in its very tenuous relationship to advanced technology. Especially in this age of rampant and uncontrollable technospheric breakdown are the inherent weaknesses of so many scientific, technological and industrial paradigms being revealed.
When one considers the awesome degree of wear and tear, as well as the tremendous amount of maintenance and repair absolutely requiried to keep a nuclear power plant running problem-free and up to an acceptable standard of safety, the notion becomes quite staggering. Particularly in view of the terrible costs to life and the environment for not doing so.
The real bugaboo in this worldwide evolving scenario is that technosheric breakdown is not well understood at all, and not even acknowledged in many quarters where it ought to be. This highly unfortunate state of affairs has set the planet up for a a domino effect which can be catalyzed at any moment by just one major earth change in the wrong place, at the wrong time, with the wrong technology.
Enter FUKUSHIMA!
We quote again from an article that was posted a few days after the earthquake and tsunami of March 11, 2011 that triggered the nuclear disasters on the Honshu coastline.
“Quite purposefully, no one ever stopped to consider the obvious and far-reaching ramifications of constructing 55 nuclear reactors on the most seismically active piece of property on planet Earth! And, that doesn’t count another 12 reactors in various stages of planning or development.”

What follows is a very sobering Press Release from US Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon after he took a tour of Fukushima Nuclear Power Station. Click on the release to enlarge.
The following perceptive observation summarizes where we are going:
“When the faculty of reason flees humankind and common sense becomes rare, as it has in the upper echelons of the global control matrix, the resulting status quo will ineluctably determine the future of the civilization as well as the fate of the planet.”

Just in case any reader has failed to grasp the enormity and gravity of the nuclear disaster event known as FUKUSHIMA, please consider the information at the following article entitled:
“Fukushima Daiichi Site: Cesium-137 is 85 times greater than at Chernobyl Accident”
“Fukushima Daiichi Site: Cesium-137 is 85 times greater than at Chernobyl Accident”
“In recent times, more information about the spent fuel situation at the Fukushima-Dai-Ichi site has become known. It is my understanding that of the 1,532 spent fuel assemblies in reactor No. 4, 304 assemblies are fresh and unirradiated. This then leaves 1,231 irradiated spent fuel rods in pool No. 4, which contain roughly 37 million curies (~1.4E+18 Becquerel) of long-lived radioactivity. The No. 4 pool is about 100 feet above ground, is structurally damaged and is exposed to the open elements. If an earthquake or other event were to cause this pool to drain this could result in a catastrophic radiological fire involving nearly 10 times the amount of Cs-137 released by the Chernobyl accident.”
In closing let’s consider some extremely compelling commentary from the same article:
“Many of our readers might find it difficult to appreciate the actual meaning of the figure, yet we can grasp what 85 times more Cesium-137 than the Chernobyl would mean. It would destroy the world environment and our civilization. This is not rocket science, nor does it connect to the pugilistic debate over nuclear power plants. This is an issue of human survival.”
Quite aptly, this same piece ends with the following questions?
“If Japanese government leaders do not recognize the risk their nation faces, how could the rest of us be persuaded of the looming disaster? And if the rest of us do not acknowledge the catastrophe we collectively face, who will be the one to act?”

WARNING FROM RAEL: For those who don't use their intelligence at its
full capacity, the label "selected by RAEL" on some articles does not
mean that I agree with their content or support it. "Selected by RAEL"
means that I believe it is important for the people of this planet to
know about what people think or do, even when what they think or do is
completely stupid and against our philosophy. When I selected articles
in the past about stupid Christian fundamentalists in America praying
for rain, I am sure no Rael-Science reader was stupid enough to believe
that I was supporting praying to change the weather. So, when I select
articles which are in favor of drugs, anti-Semitic, anti-Jewish, racist,
revisionist, or inciting hatred against any group or religion, or any
other stupid article, it does not mean that I support them. It just
means that it is important for all human beings to know about them.
Common sense, which is usually very good among our readers, is good
enough to understand that. When, like in the recent articles on drug
decriminalization, it is necessary to make it clearer, I add a comment,
which in this case was very clear: I support decriminalizing all drugs,
as it is stupid to throw depressed and sad people (as only depressed and
sad people use drugs) in prison and ruin their life with a criminal
record. That does not mean that there is any change to the Message which
says clearly that we must not use any drug except for medical purposes.
The same applies to the freedom of expression which must be absolute.
That does not mean again of course that I agree with anti-Jews,
anti-Semites, racists of any kind or anti-Raelians. But by knowing your
enemies or the enemies of your values, you are better equipped to fight
them. With love and respect of course, and with the wonderful sentence
of the French philosopher Voltaire in mind: "I disapprove of what you
say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it".

"Ethics" is simply a last-gasp attempt by deist conservatives and
orthodox dogmatics to keep humanity in ignorance and obscurantism,
through the well tried fermentation of fear, the fear of science and
new technologies.
There is nothing glorious about what our ancestors call history,
it is simply a succession of mistakes, intolerances and violations.
On the contrary, let us embrace Science and the new technologies
unfettered, for it is these which will liberate mankind from the
myth of god, and free us from our age old fears, from disease,
death and the sweat of labour.
