Set A Combination Lock On A Carlton Suitcase

The heroes of Fukushima

(Source: Corriere della Sera), edited by Robert Ferdinand

Since a week ago on Japan struck the deadly combination of earthquake-tsunami, 50 technicians of the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO - the fourth largest in the world energy production) are closed and isolated in Fukushima Nuclear Power Station, seriously damaged by the disaster, to try to limitari damage and leakage of material and radioactive substances. For nearly a week the 50 technicians are working in health and logistical minimum, being exposed to very high levels of radioactive radiation in the absence of adequate supplies to meet the 'apocalypse. " They seem to be today, the only that can save the country of the rising sun and the area by a natural disaster without precedent. Prime Minister Naoto Kan implored him: "You are the only ones who can solve this crisis. Retreat is unthinkable. " So the 50 technicians, Heroes, and being left to their jobs, are doomed, for sure, given the level of radiation they are exposed to serious diseases and next, if not death. Today, tomorrow and in the coming days, it is fair to say the commitment and sacrifice of those anonymous technicians, scaling down the importance that perhaps hastily attach to news from other parts of the world. Honor and 50 technicians Fukushima, unfortunately, now anonymous, but they have names and surnames, stories, lives and families. RDF

But we wish her? And let them!
Congratulations to Italy and the Italians ( leaguers excluded) by the Fifth Postulate! Best wishes
want you with this post John Fontana:

"Do you like my store?"

"What!"

"This makes me a true privilege and is the best compliment that an Italian could make me . Because I tried to make this store as you Italians do anything: first, it was beautiful, and then, perhaps , that works. "

These days are no longer able either to write or to comment on the post, but I read a lot of things on the disaster in Japan and on nuclear power, which I share with you.

• Start with the numerous collections of photos that made the Big Picture disaster first part, second part , third party and fourth party ;
  
• other photos, this time interactive, as it was before and after the tsunami than it is now, by ABC News;
  
• collection of videos of the tsunami, here is the first and then the other. Some are really impressive;
• already before the earthquake followed by two blogs of two boys who are working in Japan, the first named Flavio and works in Tokyo. He has experienced first hand the earthquake, the tsunami and the fear of nuclear power plant, and said these days through his blog. Of all the post it on board two Japanese and how to react the disaster, the second is
  
• Matthew, who works in the south and has experienced first the earthquake, but it provides interesting news and above have it with Italian catastrophism;
• about disasters, the Republic these days is giving the best, with ever more dramatic headlines (today's is "Japan the panel out of control ") and came to the well-deserved taking the piss ;
  
• theme always taken for a ride, Matteo Bordone a comment on nuclear editorial written by a scientist to the Courier della Sera: Adriano Celentano ;
  
• the inevitable post of Spinoza;
  
• and the equally inevitable indecency of the Journal and of liberation, which in the first page and do not talk about Fini's earthquake
• and in the meantime, with the world's eyes turned to Japan, none is more shit Gaddafi, who has taken control almost all of Libya. Quest ' image of Makkox and comment Adriano Sofri summarize the issue;
  
• finally, link to make donations pro-Japan through iTunes, and a page with other sites for the collection of funds .

conclude with some remarks on nuclear power in Italy.

First of all, if you have not already done so, please read this enlightening post Kepler (it's a blogger, not that Kepler!) Because there is much talk of nuclear power and very little about how a central (thanks to Giovanni Fontana !).

I think if the "antinuclear" will continue to speculate on the facts in an exaggerated way of Japan, everything will turn against him, and since a few months there is a referendum would be best to sit silent.

I think I have understood that alternative energy sources do not cover the energy demand in Italy (if not so smentitemi!), And fine particles of coal, oil and gas to make a few thousand dead ' year. Some alternative other than to buy power from neighboring countries (plus produced by nuclear power) should find it. On the whole I am very ignorant, but my fear is that 90% of those who say "nuclear, no thank you" is.

Italy had already made a referendum on nuclear power 25 years ago, there was just the need to do it again?

I read from Wikipedia: "Italy is the only nation among the 14 richest in the world in terms of GDP at present have no active nuclear power plants and, as we have seen, the only nation in the world to abandoned the use of nuclear energy for political reasons. " I do not think there is a credit to all this, the Our problem is that we know not to be reliable, we already know that the waste will end up at sea or in an illegal dump, and that the work will be done with enough. And then there is always the policy of half ...

conclusion, and paraphrasing Capriccioli : I'm not afraid of nuclear power, but the Italians.
