Say NO to a Turkish Fukushima

The earthquake and tsunami in Japan proved how dangerous nuclear plants at sea are. Turkey has long been objecting to Armenian inland nuclear plant that is far from the sea, but when Japanese go ahead in Turkey with construction of a nuclear plant at Sinop into the Black Sea, Turkey would run the risk of making the Black Sea a death sea like it happened in Japan in Fukushima.

 

The second Turkish nuclear plant will be located on a narrow peninsula jotting out into the Black Sea. The dangers are many, an earthquake that could damage or sink the plant (earthquakes have happened in that area before); a flood from the sea destroying the plant; a meteor falling at the Black Sea or an earthquake at sea will send a tsunami over the plant destroying it --exactly like it happened with the tsunami at Fukushima.

 

All the countries bordering the Black Sea should stop Turkey's risky second energy adventure on a narrow land jotting into the Black Sea or they would be in danger zone and will to have to eat seafood seasoned with plutonium someday that causes death and cancer from the spill over radiation.

 

An agreement has been concluded between Turkey and Japan, with the Japanese company Mitsubishi in a consortium with the French GDF Suez for the construction of the second plant at Sinop with four units, but the Japanese company will be the operator of the project; the construction at a peninsula on the Black Sea at the small city of Sinop would cost $22 billion and the plant will be transferred to Turkish management & operation in the future.

 

The first agreement, On construction of NPP in Turkey, was ratified with Russia. It is to be built in Akkuyu (Mersin Province), a location within Buyukeceli located on the southern slopes of Toros Mountains at 36°11′N 33°33′E. It is near to Mediterranean coast (3 kilometers). Its construction will begin in 2014, with the four units and will be put into service in 2019–22.

Two moderate quakes hit Sea of Marmara
http://www.worldbulletin.net/?aType=haber&ArticleID=123808
An earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 4.7 struck Marmara Ereglisi and the same region was soon after hit by another quake with a magnitude of 4.1

The Sea of Marmara was shaken by two moderate earthquakes on Wednesday morning.

According to a statement made by the Prime Ministry's Disaster and Emergency Management Directorate (AFAD), an earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 4.7 struck Marmara Ereglisi, near the city of Tekirdag at 6:21 a.m. and the same region was soon after hit by another quake with a magnitude of 4.1.

The statement added that earthquakes are observed 24/7 in the region and that the epicenter of Wednesday morning's quake was 20 kilometers off of Marmara's Ereğlisi coast. There have not been any casualties reported in the quakes.
------------------
In 1999, an earthquake along the North Anatolian fault killed some 30,000 people in western Turkey. There is some evidence that another segment closer to the densely populated city of Istanbul could be next to rupture, which could create worse devastation. A team of Turkish, American and French scientists are on a Turkish research ship in the Sea of Marmara to image the faults and its overlying sediments to better assess the risk. Donna Shillington, a seismologist at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, has filed an update from aboard R/V K. Piri Reis.

For about 50 years, earthquakes have been propagating westward along the 900-mile-long North Anatolian fault. Quakes are caused by two tectonic plates sliding past one another, much as they do along California’s San Andreas fault.

Fox News: Radioactive wave from Fukushima nears US… Is it safe? Expert: Risk of cancers or genetic effects ‘not zero’ for people on West Coast of USA; Ongoing leaks increase the odds

Fox News, Nov. 29, 2013:

Is it safe? Radioactive Japanese wave nears US [...] radioactive water from the plant nears the West Coast of North America — the water is expected to hit in 2014 — can we be sure it’s safe? The nuclear reactor continues to leak radioactive water due to poor management, while Japanese subcontractors at the plant have admitted they intentionally under-reported radiation [...] Fukushima locals also claim they’re seeing cancer at higher rates and the Japanese government is covering up the scale of the problem. [...] The [EPA] does not monitor radiation levels at sea, however, and in a statement pointed to the International Atomic Energy Agency, which relies on Japanese government data. [...] Doug Dasher, who studies radioecology at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, said it remains possible that there will be minor effects for people on the U.S. West Coast [...] Additional leakage from Fukushima could increase the odds, he said. [...] Scientists also warn that if an another earthquake or other natural disaster occurs while the Fukushima nuclear plant is still being decommissioned, that could have catastrophic consequences.

Doug Dasher, University of Alaska Fairbanks: “No acute effects resulting in mortality or damage to organs … would be expected [...] Longer term chronic effects, cancer or genetic effects… odds are statistically low, if the concentrations in the models remain within the projections, (but) cannot be said to be zero. [...] The estimates (of radiation) vary substantially and do not, at least so far, account for the continued leakage from the Fukushima site to the marine environment.”

FDA spokeswoman Theresa Eisenman: “We are actively watching for information that could implicate U.S. food and are always ready to take further action.”

Gilbert Ross, executive director of the American Council on Science and Health: “There should be no concern among Americans, of any age or location.”
