BRUSSELS — The European Union’s executive commission says it has approved single doses of two swine flu vaccines that could speed up winter vaccinations.

The European Commission’s Monday authorization of single shots of Novartis AG’ Focetria and GlaxoSmithKline’s Pandemrix replaces the use of two doses of the vaccine against the H1N1 virus for adults and older children. http://www.bostonherald.com/news/international/europe/view/20091130eu_approves_single_dose_swine_flu_vaccine/srvc=home&position=recent

If you’ve already gotten two vaccines, one would suppose it is just double your level of toxicity.

Highlights from  The Summary of Product Characteristics or patient information sheet from  http://www.emea.europa.eu/humandocs/PDFs/EPAR/pandemrix/emea-combined-h832en.pdf says that Pandemrix contains:

AS03 adjuvant composed of squalene (10.69 milligrams), DL-polysorbate 80 (4.86 milligrams) tocopherol (11.86 milligrams), The vaccine contains 5 micrograms thiomersal.   6.1 List of excipients:  Polysorbate 80,  Octoxynol 10, Thiomersal, Sodium chloride (NaCl), Disodium hydrogen phosphate, Potassium dihydrogen phosphate,  Potassium chloride,  Magnesium chloride, Water for injections, Sodium chloride, Disodium hydrogen phosphate.

In clinical studies of efficacy they tested the vaccine in ferrets where all of the ferrets died and exhibited viral shedding.  Additionally:

Following influenza vaccination, false-positive serology test results may be obtained by the ELISA method for antibody to human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1), hepatitis C virus and, especially  HTLV-1. In such cases, the Western blot method is negative. These transitory false-positive results may be due to IgM production in response to the vaccine.

Translated- the vaccine contains ingredients labeled as toxic, and you might test positive for AIDS and Hepatitis!   Further info on Pandemrix is at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandemrix.  Pandemrix has not been approved in the U.S.A.  Pandemrix date of first authorization- MAY 20, 2008, well before the current H1N1 pandemic.  Eye chiwawa!

Ho Ho Ho, at least no swine flu germs on the lights- or could there be as they are handwrapped from China?   No escape, but off to do the chores rather than post more.

H1N1 FATALITIES via Rhizalabs

Fatal cases of Hemorrhagic Pneumonia related to the H1N1 Swine Flu are spreading throughout the world.  A huge number of H1N1 deaths have been counted in the last week.  Martial Law has already been declared in the Ukraine.  What country or state is next?

 20 NOVEMBER 2009 | GENEVA

Public health significance of virus mutation detected in Norway- Pandemic (H1N1) 2009 briefing note 17 —
— The Norwegian Institute of Public Health has informed WHO of a mutation detected in three H1N1 viruses. The viruses were isolated from the first two fatal cases of pandemic influenza in the country and one patient with severe illness….Worldwide, laboratory monitoring of influenza viruses has detected a similar mutation in viruses from several other countries, with the earliest detection occurring in April. In addition to Norway, the mutation has been observed in Brazil, China, Japan, Mexico, Ukraine, and the US….The mutations appear to occur sporadically and spontaneously. To date, no links between the small number of patients infected with the mutated virus have been found and the mutation does not appear to spreadhttp://www.who.int/csr/disease/swineflu/notes/briefing_20091120/en/index.html

Say what?  If the mutated virus is not spreading how is it being traced to numerous countries?  If the earliest detection was occurring in April, why were there no alarm bells going off? Or maybe they were, and you just couldn’t hear them.

Today, November 27, 2009 report from WHO says, “In the United States and Canada, influenza transmission remains very active and geographically widespread. In the United States, disease activity appears to have peaked in all areas of the country. In Canada, influenza activity remains similar but number of hospitalisations and deaths is increasinghttp://www.who.int/csr/don/2009_11_27a/en/index.html

Total over 622482 at least 7826

Back up to April of 2009, http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2009/04/28/politics/politicalhotsheet/entry4975598.shtml reported that is was The Department of Justice that has the established legal federal authority pertaining to the implementation of a quarantine and enforcement of quarantines of U.S. Citizens. Under approval from Health and Human Services, the authority to issue quarantines goes to the U.S. Surgeon General. http://www.surgeongeneral.gov/

As far back as November of 2005, the U.S. government was setting the stage for a pandemic such as this.   The Bush administration released the National Strategy for Pandemic Influenza providing an outline for coordination among federal agencies, the stockpiling and distribution of vaccines and anti-viral drugs, and, if necessary, government-imposed quarantines and limitations on gatherings. A review of http://homelandsecurity.tamu.edu/framework/special-issues-hurricane-katrina-1/national-strategy-for-pandemic-influenza/ with the electronic version removed from the web by the Obama administration http://www.whitehouse.gov/homeland/nspi.pdf.   Excerpted from our post at https://ahrcanum.wordpress.com/2009/09/28/h1n1-swine-flu-quarantine-usa/

It is not only the Feds, but back in April states began preparation for Quarantine Orders:

Florida Detentionhttp://www2a.cdc.gov/phlp/docs/FL%20Quarantine%20To%20Detention%20Facility%20Order%20Apr%2009%20252.pdf,  

Florida Quarantine to Residence http://www2a.cdc.gov/phlp/docs/FL%20Quarantine%20To%20Residence%20Order%20Apr%2009%20252.pdf  

Florida Quarantine to Residence for the Non Compliant http://www2a.cdc.gov/phlp/docs/FL%20Quarantine%20To%20Residence%20Order%20-%20NonCompliance%20Apr%2009%20252.pdf

Massachusetts, North Carolina, Washington also  have documents at the ready and can be viewed on the government site http://www2a.cdc.gov/phlp/H1N1flu.asp#IQ 

The state of Iowa’s has been removed by the CDC but can be viewed in its entirety at https://ahrcanum.wordpress.com/2009/09/04/swine-flu-quarantine-detention-order/ and also via http://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/Iowa_Q_To_Residence.pdf .  The Iowa Antiviral Shortage Order can be seen at http://www2a.cdc.gov/phlp/docs/antiviral%20shortage%20order-2.pdf 

Iowa with state control over antivirals and quarantine measures in place, is also apparently America’s top destination for Hemorrhagic Pneumonia in the U.S.

Doctors in Iowa are observing hemorrhagic lungs in flu patients, but although the state has officially recorded 21 H1N1 deaths, actual cases may be higher as patient rights, laws prohibit the disclosure of specific numbers. The county’s medical examiner said he has performed autopsies on some residents who were never diagnosed with H1N1, but actually had it. “In the autopsy, what we’re seeing is very heavy, wet hemorrhagic lungs, lungs with a lot of blood in them,” said Dr. Gregory Schmunk via http://preventdisease.com/news/09/112209_hemorrhagic_pneumonia_in_iowa.shtml

 The Quarantine Social Distancing Law Project Sponsored by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and directed by the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO), the Social Distancing Law Project was conducted in 17 jurisdictions in 2007 to assess the sufficiency of their legal preparedness to implement social distancing effectively. In addition, the participating jurisdictions assessed their legal authority to prescribe and dispense pharmaceutical drugs on a mass basis as a key potential countermeasure for an influenza pandemic http://www2a.cdc.gov/phlp/sdlp/ 

Vicks Recall

As we have been told H1N1, like the B Cepacia bacteria  generally poses little medical risk but the B Cepacia bacteria can causes deadly pneumonia that is antibiotic resistant and people with this are contagious. What you need to know about  B Cepacia is here http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dhqp/id_BcepaciaFS.html.  More importantly it  has been found in Vick’s nasal spray.  “The company has discovered, after routine testing, the spray could contain the bacteria B. cepacia, which can cause serious infections in people with a weak immune system or with lung conditions.” http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/healthnews/6608952/Vicks-recalls-nasal-spray.html   

Children's Tylenol Recall

Additionally Johnson & Johnson’s McNeil unit is voluntarily recalling 57 lots of infants’ and children’s liquid Tylenol products because of possible bacterial contamination with B Cepacia bacteria .http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/health/2009945674_recall26.html  Anyone give there kids Tylenol for the flu lately?  Better check the lot numbers.

Throw in the “sounding the alarm about the rise of tuberculosis (TB) superbugs. Although the incidence of TB has fallen in many regions, the new findings suggest serious and growing problems with TB could on the horizon. The reason? Antibiotic resistant TB superbugs are emerging that could see virtually untreatable strains of the disease become widespread.  http://dinapharm.com/store/article_info.php?articles_id=358

Last week, Recombinomics, Inc. Founder and President, Henry L. Niman on events in Ukraine, said, “The rapid rise in reported infections, hospitalizations, and deaths in the past few days raise concerns that the virus is transmitting very efficiently…the spike in fatalities and the frequency in hemorrhagic cases in Ukraine have raised concerns.”  His focus has been on a little something called D225G.

D225G is in the receptor binding domain and therefore at the surface of HA, and several different polymorphism were noted at that position (D225G, D225E and D225N) suggesting the changes were to escape from the immune response.  Moreover the change was appearing on multiple different genetic backgrounds. This is not surprising, since position 225 is in an antigenic site and D225N was linked to the establishment of S31N in the H3N2 population.  http://www.recombinomics.com/News/11270902/D225G_Evade.html 

Hemorrhagic pneumonia was also observed in the 1918 pandemic and was thought to be linked to cytokine storm. Consequently, those with robust immune systems (previously health young adults) disproportionately died, which has also been seen in the current outbreak (Mexico, US, and worldwide).  However, the cases in Ukraine appear to be clustered, raising concerns that the virus has changed.http://www.recombinomics.com/News/11040901/Ukraine_Hemor_Clusters.html

The world’s most populated country is China where they are on high alert for any mutation where H1N5, Bird Flu has been seen.  Zhong Nanshan, director of the Guangzhou Institute of Respiratory Diseases in China’s southern Guangdong province, said the presence of both viruses in China meant they could mix and become a monstrous hybrid — a bug packed with strong killing power that can transmit efficiently among people.  “China, as you know, is different from other countries. Inside China, H5N1 has been existing for some time, so if there is really a reassortment between H1N1 and H5N1, it will be a disaster,” Zhong said in an interview with Reuters Television via http://www.reuters.com/article/GCA-SwineFlu/idUSTRE5AO16220091125

On Sept. 5 China became the first country to declare that it had discovered a vaccine, and by late October it had produced nearly 53 million doses. via http://www.starbulletin.com/news/nyt/20091112_chinas_tough_measures_on_flu_appear_to_pay_off.html  China has also been the most aggressive  country enforcing quarantines and medical detentions to slow the transmission of H1N1.

Zero Hedge at http://www.zerohedge.com/article/cdc-h1n1-forced-quarantine-docs-leak wrote, “the fall H1N1 pandemic may be a convenient pretext by which dangerous levels of expanding social control can be established by elites which have proven themselves utterly corrupt and morally bankrupt.”

Meanwhile, “If vaccines strengthen the immune system (as vaccine makers imply), then why do people who take such vaccines end up at higher risk of future infections? The only rational explanation for this is that vaccines compromise immune function. And if that’s true, then why should anyone take them in the first place? asks http://dinapharm.com/store/article_info.php?articles_id=357  The answer is of course, shut up and just get your damned flu shot.

May we remind you- If this is a true pneumatic plague, no H1N1 vaccine is going to stave off infection.  Plague is a bacteria, H1N1 is a virus. via https://ahrcanum.wordpress.com/2009/11/20/ukraine-h1n1-swine-flu-mutation-or-plagu/

Is anyone seeing a pandemic pattern here?  Doomsday is marked by some as 2012.  Will the H1N1 mutations similarities to the 1918 plague take that long to wipe out a large percentage of the population? 

Like the R.E.M song lyrics,” It’s the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.” http://www.metrolyrics.com/its-the-end-of-the-world-lyrics-rem.html 

How are you feeling about all this?

This Thanksgiving week, General Motors has officially ceased production of it’s Pontiac brand of vehicles as a result of the bailout by the U.S. government.  Not only could the car maker not meet it’s financial obligations but, the fact is that the car’s brand no longer had the appeal it once did and sales were declining.

The last Pontiac G-8 rolled off the assembly line in Orion heading for a fleet order rather than a museum for posterity sake yesterday.  http://www.detnews.com/article/20091126/AUTO01/911260411/Pontiac-reaches-end-of-the-line/?imw=Y 

http://www.pontiac.com/ has the official closeout information on remaining vehicles for sale with deals as low as o% financing for six years or cash back offers up to $4,500.  As a wake up call to anyone buying a car, six years is an absurd amount of time to pay off a car, especially when the warranty ends before you pay it off.

With discount offers like this across most of GM’s product line up, how they are ever going to make money, get out of bankruptcy and away from government ownership is beyond any one’s guess. 

Besides the 1000’s of job losses at Pontiac plants, NUMMI the joint venture between  GM and Toyota venture looks to be shutting its doors as well. http://www.mercurynews.com/drive/ci_13766495 From the Bureau of Labor Statistics unemployment by state http://www.bls.gov/web/laumstrk.htm is listed.  Like the climategate, how true these numbers are is any one’s guess.

I recall the 1978 Pontiac Bonneville that I learned to drive in.  What a tank, but it had the radio antennae built into the glass which was pretty cool.  In 1982 came the Firebird and was featured on the TV Show Knight Rider.  I never owned one, but a lot of my buddies did and it was a girl magnet.

Pontiac Fiero

In 1984,  my dad through a mid life crisis or whatever, found the Pontiac Fiero much more in the spirit of things.  What a car it was and far removed from anything on the market.  The damned things body was made of plastic!  We’ll some sort of poly-resin- that when a grocery cart hit it it bounced off with no damage.  With no USA steel to give it strength, on impact the car crumbled.  Luckily, we never crashed it but traded it it on something or another.  Might have been the Cadillac Sedan De Ville with the horrendous 4-6-8 valve engine- another GM disaster.

Our Fiero was hot red in color with every option known to man, including the fabulous sound system from Bose.  Nothing like Van Halen screaming at you at ten decibels while driving down the highway. A definite babe magnet of a car.  It made you want to live in the fast lane or at least drive in it.

 

Chief Pontiac, Ottawa Tribe

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, Chief Pontiac of the Ottawa Tribe must be glad to know that the spirit of the Pontiac brand of vehicles will go on- in memory at least.  He was quoted as saying, 

According to a French chronicler, in a second council Pontiac proclaimed:

It is important for us, my brothers, that we exterminate from our lands this nation which seeks only to destroy us. You see as well as I that we can no longer supply our needs, as we have done from our brothers, the French…. Therefore, my brothers, we must all swear their destruction and wait no longer. Nothing prevents us; they are few in numbers, and we can accomplish it.   Peckham, Indian Uprising, 119–20; Dixon, Never Come to Peace, 109. via  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chief_Pontiac#cite_note-8

It didn’t turn out so good for the Indians being forced to reservations, but in the long run some tribes are probably more financially stable than the U.S. government,  thanks to good fiscal policy and casino’s.

Ironically enough, the Pontiac Silverdome was sold this month for $583,000 USD to a Toronto, Canadadian businessman. Completed in 1975 as the Pontiac Metropolitan Stadium, at a cost of $55.7 million, the Silverdome seats 80,311. It contains 102 luxury suites and 7,384 club seats. more at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pontiac_Silverdome

“While still not sure what he’ll ultimately do with the stadium, adjacent fieldhouse and 127 acres of land, Apostolopoulos said he’d like to return it to being a place that hosts football, soccer, hockey and basketball as well as concerts.  “People today like sports so we have to keep it for sports events,” he said. “Whatever they like, we’ll do.” But Apostolopoulos said the zoning does allow for the tearing down of the stadium and the building of houses, apartments or almost any other kind of construction.” http://www.thestar.com/sports/article/729769–toronto-developer-snaps-up-vacant-pontiac-silverdome

At less than $5000 USD an acre that was a good deal for any pilgrim.

With a rush to produce millions of H1N1 vaccines by Pharmaceutical Companies, comes the news of the first recall of the vaccine.  Will it be the last?

Canadian doctors have been advised not to use a batch of 170,000 swine flu vaccines after six reports of serious allergic reactions among recipients, but there are no similar reports from other countries, pharmaceuticals company GlaxoSmithKline PLC said Tuesday. via http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/11/24/swine-flu-recall-h1n1-vac_n_368776.html

GlaxoSmithKline has asked that the October batch of H1N1 swine flu Pandemrix be taken out of circulation because it produced serious and immediate anaphylactic reactions in one out of 20,000 vaccinations, compared with one out of 100,000 in other shipments. Most of the vaccine Manitoba received from the suspect lot had already been used by the time the province received the alert. Of the 63,000 doses shipped, only 630 remained unused by the four regional health authorities in Manitoba that received them…Pandemrix contains parts of influenza (flu) viruses that have been inactivated (killed). Pandemrix contains a flu strain called A/California/7/2009 (H1N1) v-like strain (X-179A). Pandemrix contains small amounts of haemagglutinins (proteins from the surface) of a virus called A(H1N1)v that is causing the current pandemic. The virus has first been inactivated so that it does not cause any disease. http://www.dancewithshadows.com/pillscribe/glaxosmithkline-recalls-a-lot-of-h1n1-vaccine-pandemrix-from-canada-due-to-side-effects/

Highlights from  The Summary of Product Characteristics or patient information sheet from  http://www.emea.europa.eu/humandocs/PDFs/EPAR/pandemrix/emea-combined-h832en.pdf says that Pandemrix contains:

AS03 adjuvant composed of squalene (10.69 milligrams), DL-polysorbate 80 (4.86 milligrams) tocopherol (11.86 milligrams), The vaccine contains 5 micrograms thiomersal.   6.1 List of excipients:  Polysorbate 80,  Octoxynol 10, Thiomersal, Sodium chloride (NaCl), Disodium hydrogen phosphate, Potassium dihydrogen phosphate,  Potassium chloride,  Magnesium chloride, Water for injections, Sodium chloride, Disodium hydrogen phosphate.

In clinical studies of efficacy they tested the vaccine in ferrets where all of the ferrets died and exhibited viral shedding.  Additionally:

Following influenza vaccination, false-positive serology test results may be obtained by the ELISA method for antibody to human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1), hepatitis C virus and, especially  HTLV-1. In such cases, the Western blot method is negative. These transitory false-positive results may be due to IgM production in response to the vaccine.

Translated- the vaccine contains ingredients labeled as toxic, and you might test positive for AIDS and Hepatitis!   Further info on Pandemrix is at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandemrix.  Pandemrix has not been approved in the U.S.A.  Pandemrix date of first authorization- MAY 20, 2008, well before the current H1N1 pandemic.  Eye chiwawa!

Back up to the flu episode of 1976.  

About 200 soldiers in basic training at Fort Dix in New Jersey fell ill and at least four soldiers had pneumonia, and one died and the virus was identified as an H1N1 swine flu virus, “thought to be a direct descendant of the virus that caused the pandemic of 1918,” . “This conclusion was based on antibodies to H1N1 antigens found in survivors of the 1918 pandemic and the belief that the 1918 virus was eventually transmitted to pigs in the Midwest, where it persisted and caused sporadic human cases.”

Not only did the pandemic fail to appear, but the vaccine apparently harmed some people. Health officials suspended the vaccination campaign on Dec 16, 1976, after receiving numerous reports of Guillian-Barre syndrome (GBS), a paralyzing neurologic illness, after vaccination, according to an August 1979 report in the American Journal of Epidemiology. Nationwide surveillance detected 1,098 patients with GBS onset from October 1976 through January 1977.   Epidemiologic evidence suggested that many cases were related to vaccination, with an estimated risk of 1 case for every 100,000 vaccinations. http://www.cidrap.umn.edu/cidrap/content/influenza/panflu/news/apr2209swine.html

In a rush to judgement and fast tracking vaccine approval for not only GlaxoSmithKline PLC, are we seeing a vision of things to come for people who take the H1N1 Swine Flu vaccines?

Japanese health ministry officials will fly to Canada by early December, to study the Canadian authorities decision to hold off on using a batch of its swine flu vaccine Pandemrix, reports said quoting a Japanese newspaper said.  Japanese health ministry’s decision comes in the wake of its plan to import GlaxoSmithKline’s flu vaccine Pandemrix to cover 37 million people in the year ending March.  However, there’s no change to Japan’s plan to import Glaxo’s flu vaccine Pandemrix. http://www.dancewithshadows.com/pillscribe/japanese-health-officials-to-fly-canada-no-change-in-plan-to-import-h1n1-swine-flu-vaccine-pandemrix/ 

Will they reconsider?  Will you reconsider getting any flu shot even as governments around the world are encouraging you to do so?

The State Dinner is on in The White House Tent! 

Via Greta on Twitter http://gretawire.blogs.foxnews.com/2009/11/24/more-pool-report-re-white-house-state-dinner/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+blogs%2FGretawire+%28FOXNews.com+-+Blogs+-+Gretawire%29&utm_content=Twitter

Rather than the event being hosted inside, the Obama’s or some other nin-com-poop idiot chose to set up a tent in the midst of November for the first State Dinner by The Obama Administration. “11 additional chandeliers hung from The Tent’s clear ceiling – three large ones were in the middle and four were hung on either side.”  Do ya care? 

On the menu is potato salad.  I wonder if it is the kind with eggs and mustard? Red Potatoes or White?  Sooooo not the point.

Really, how low can we go?  A tent.  I’d like to see the Saudi’s sit in a tent with Obama where he can bend over yet again to bow t0 the King.  Serving potato salad?  No Kobe beef? Too good for our allies?  Oh that’s right, many people from India don’t eat cow- we’ll then throw out some lobsters, snapper, pig, or something other than potato salad for heavens sake. 

Our debt is huge and India is an ally during a time when we need all the friends we can get, and this is how we treat our friends?  Stick them in a tent.  Are the Prime Minister, his wife and The Obama’s having a camping event later this evening?  Where are they staying?  Jeeesh- I’d hate to be an enemy. 

Whose tax dollars are going to pay for the lawn replacement from all the mud?  Ahh, The American Recovery Act- creating jobs.

Potato salad is certainly better than what our troops are eating most days even though they sleep in a tent if they are lucky, but is it okay for a dignitary?

The ads on YouTube Suck.  I was checking out some old R.E.M music “The End of The World as We Know It,”  at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bmxyj6iInMc&feature=fvw and son of a biatch there is a pop up ads from Wal-Mart. 

The nerve of the bastards to post the word Advertisement.  No Shit, Sherlock, really WTF? Christmas for sale or the end of the free Internet as we know it. 

How much branding do you need when everyone else has gone out of business?  Kmart is still around but most products suck anyway and the 3rd qtr report doesn’t leave a lot of buck for ads on YouTube. 

Get a life Wal-Mart and pass the saving on to consumers.

The 9/11 Never Forget Coalition is holding a December 5th rally protesting the plan to bring the 9/11 terrorist conspirators to trial in New York City.

The Coalition formed to fight the decision of President Barack Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder to try the 9/11 co-conspirators in New York City’s federal court, effectively giving war criminals the same rights as American citizens while endangering the safety of all New Yorkers.  Two weeks ago, we sent a letter signed by 300 family members of 9/11 victims to the President, Attorney General and Defense Secretary Robert Gates asking them to reverse course.  The letter has now been signed by over 120,000 Americans and is posted at http://www.keepamericasafe.com.

via Atlas Shrugs http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/

The trial of the “Gitmo detainees”, having already pled guilty does a bit more than endangering the safety of all New Yorkers.  What a farce to allow them to step one little pinky toe upon the soil they wish so to defile.  Can you imagine the protesters in the name of Allah and jihad perhaps blowing up the court room?

How much will the court proceedings cost?  Does freedom and justice have a price?    Where will they stay?  The Plaza?

On the battlefield, should a soldier stop and mirandize an enemy combatant?  What a precedent.

What about classified information?  What if the jury finds them not guilty, what then?  Are they free to see asylum in the nation they so abhor?  What country would welcome them home?  One of our allies?  Would NYC allow them to roam free in the home of the brave?

As the Chief and Commander of the U.S.A., President Obama needs to rethink the injustice upon America that these men have already admitted to committing.  The injustice will lie upon President Obama’s shoulders and the weight of the hearts of all Americans will weigh him down, rightfully so.

Three Mile Island Radiation Leak

Almost one month to the day that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)  released a Press release extending Three Mile Island’s license for 20 years, there has been another radiation leak at the facility.  http://taxdollars.freedomblogging.com/files/2009/11/three-mile-island-renewal.pdf  

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has renewed the operating license for the Three Mile Island Nuclear Station, Unit 1 (TMI-1), in Middletown, Pa., for an additional 20 years. The  new license will expire on April 19, 2034.  Via Associated Press, “A small amount of radiation has been detected in a reactor building at the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant in central Pennsylvania. Officials say there is no public health risk.” http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5jS9jFy7mB2i2XjBy3BDXHnvJG-7wD9C4M3SG0   

A partial Meltdown of Three Mile Island’s Unit 2 reactor occurred in March 1979.

The NRC http://www.nrc.gov/ must be scratching it’s a$$ this weekend as there is no official press release from the agency.  The Current Power Reactor Status Report for November 20, 2009 shows a big fat zero for producing energy at Three Mile Island at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/event-status/reactor-status/ps.html

From the NY Daily News, “Employees at the infamous plant were cutting pipes in a reactor building about 4 p.m. when a radiation alarm sounded, triggering the evacuation of 150 workers. The cause of the leak has not been found.  http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/2009/11/22/2009-11-22_three_mile_island.html#ixzz0XcSYPiRL The reactor building has been shut down for weeks while workers from Exelon — an energy company that operates Three Mile Island — overhauled steam generators and other equipment.  Exelon Nuclear says that there was no contamination identified outside the reactor building.  Surveys conducted outside the reactor building indicated a slight increase in radioactivity, but levels have since returned to normal, TMI officials report. Dauphin County and state EMA officials did not learn of the exposure until Middletown Mayor Robert Reid contacted the county’s 911 Center at 9:30pm, 5 1/2 hours after the radiation release. via http://www.nucpros.com/index.php?q=node/7486#comment-672  at member of the Profession Reactor Operator Society. 

Did anyone bother to notify The White House?  Has the news yet to reach Daniel B. Poneman, Deputy Secretary of Energy? http://www.energy.gov/organization/daniel_poneman.htm 

For five and a half hours Exelon Nuclear didn’t tell anyone that there was a potential problem?   While this case seems to indicate containment, what about the what if’s, had it not been contained?  How does Excelon say that there was no contamination outside in one sentence and in the very next say that there was an increase in radioactivity outside, in the next? 

In contrast to The Three Mile Accident on March 28, 1979… when the plant experienced a failure in the secondary, non‑nuclear section of the plant. They did not know that the core had melted, but they immediately took steps to try to gain control of the reactor and ensure adequate cooling to the core. The NRC=s regional office in King of Prussia, Pa., was notified at 7:45 a.m. on March 28. By 8:00, NRC Headquarters in Washington, D.C., was alerted and the NRC Operations Center in Bethesda, Md., was activated. The regional office promptly dispatched the first team of inspectors to the site and other agencies, such as the Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency, also mobilized their response teams. Helicopters hired by TMI’s owner, General Public Utilities Nuclear, and the Department of Energy were sampling radioactivity in the atmosphere above the plant by midday. A team from the Brookhaven National Laboratory was also sent to assist in radiation monitoring. At 9:15 a.m., the White House was notified and at 11:00 a.m., all non‑essential personnel were ordered off the plant’s premises. http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/fact-sheets/3mile-isle.html

A dozen or so reactors are waiting for approval for new and existing Nuclear Energy Producing Facilities,at  http://www.nrc.gov/reactors/new-reactors/new-licensing-files/expected-new-rx-applications.pdf with a hat tip to http://taxdollars.freedomblogging.com/2009/11/11/three-mile-islands-license-renewed-for-20-years/42493/  Incidentally, no new nuclear facilities have been built since the Three Mile Island mishap in the U.S.

Yucca Mountain

After spending billions on Yucca Mountain, President Obama has derailed plans to open the facility to nuclear storage.  http://www.ocrwm.doe.gov/repository/index.shtml Yucca sits on the  Nellis Military Operations Area in Nevada approximately 80 miles northwest of the Las Vegas metropolitan area.  Maybe the government made a deal with the aliens of Area 51 for storage instead. 

Whatever the future of the facility, President Obama continues on the global warming train to nowhere, saying in his speech on Nuclear Weapons in Prague:

“To protect our planet, now is the time to change the way that we use energy,” he said to applause. ” Together, we must confront climate change by ending the world’s dependence on fossil fuels, by tapping the power of new sources of energy like the wind and sun, and calling upon all nations to do their part. And I pledge to you that in this global effort, the United States is now ready to lead….“We should build a new framework for civil nuclear cooperation, including an international fuel bank, so that countries can access peaceful power without increasing the risks of proliferation. That must be the right of every nation that renounces nuclear weapons, especially developing countries embarking on peaceful programs…. We must harness the power of nuclear energy on behalf of our efforts to combat climate change, and to advance peace opportunity for all people.” http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/04/05/obama-prague-speech-on-nu_n_183219.html  President Obama wants more nuclear plants, less nuclear weapons and offers no place to store the waste. He wants to close Gitmo and offers no place to store that human waste either.  

Arrrghhh.

Three Mile Island wasn’t the only nuclear facility having incidents reports this week.   http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/event-status/event/2009/20091120en.html.  November 18, 2009, the RSO (Radiation Safety Officer) of Terracon Consulting Inc. (ARK-0820-03121) reported the theft of a Troxler 3440 Moisture Density gauge (SN#27140) from a construction site at the Two Pines landfill in Jacksonville, Arkansas. The gauge contained an 9 mCi Cesium-137 source and a 44 mCi Americium-241/Beryllium source.  The category 3 radioactive material gauge was found along a roadside. 

Did we learn nothing from Chernobyl?
