French atomic power plant: Worker contaminated with radiation – Again

Strassburg (Oct. 27th 2007).
A worker of the French atomic power plant “Fessenheim” (Location: Alsace) was contaminated with radiation. According to a weekly published information paper the dose was one one-hundred below the yearly legal maximum limit. The man now works again.
Fessenheim is the oldest French atomic power plant, several breakdowns happened the days before. In the night from October 24th there was a defect on a pump inside of reactor number 1.
These pumps deliever water to the generators. In July 2007 the French atomic controlling agency ASN gave Fessenheim bad grades. The carefulness was deficient.
Since 1997 tree huggers want to shut down the atomic power plant. On November 10th 2007 they are going to have a protest breakfast right infront of the atomic power plant.

Russias new atomic weapons

Pre-election time is always the time for big and sometimes silly words.

This time: sabre-rattling from the “flawless democrat” Putin. Putin wants a massive arms build-up of russian atomic weapons, such as the Topol-M (info) or new nuclear systems for “his” armed forces.Big words, but what’s behind the curtain:Have a look at all the rusty ships of the russian naval, have a look at the freedom of the press, the situation of the russian and belarussian people or just remember the Polonium assissination this year.

It’s a mess.

And now, welcome to the old cold war times including hugging Irans` President, who wants to wipe Israel of the map.

Putin knows how to misbehave and seed fear. But the ruble is not endless, also Uranium.

Since 1929 genetic und cancer creating effects of radioactivity are known.
