By Karen Kaplan, Los Angeles Times/For the Booster Shots blog3:56 p.m. EDT, July 12, 2011 Japanese scientists have some good news for farmers (and eaters) near the crippled Fukushima nuclear power plant: The soil can be made safe for planting. After the meltdown that followed the devastating magnitude 9.0 Tohoku earthquake and resulting tsunami on [...]
Tepco halts cooling system at nuclear plant after sparks-Kyodo TOKYO, July 7 | Thu Jul 7, 2011 6:19am EDT (Reuters) – The operator of Japan’s Fukushima Daini nuclear power plant, located near the tsunami-crippled Daiichi plant, on Thursday halted the cooling system at one of its reactors after electrical sparks were detected, Kyodo news agency [...]
British government officials approached nuclear companies to draw up a co-ordinated public relations strategy to play down the Fukushima nuclear accident just two days after the earthquake and tsunami in Japan and before the extent of the radiation leak was known. Internal emails seen by the Guardian show how the business and energy departments worked [...]
DOE issued a comprehensive uranium management plan in December 2008 that stated that the department would consider selling depleted uranium or re-enriching it to realize best value for the government and that it would begin selling or re-enriching depleted uranium in 2009. However, to date, DOE has not sold or re-enriched any of its depleted [...]
The antinuclear antibody panel is a blood test that looks at antinuclear antibodies (ANA). Antinuclear antibodies are substances produced by the immune system that attack the body’s own tissues. See also: Autoimmune disorder How the Test is Performed Blood is drawn from a vein, usually from the inside of the elbow or the back of [...]
In 1973, vexed by an Arab oil embargo and soaring fuel prices, President Richard M. Nixon championed a long-term solution: to have 1,000 nuclear reactors in place in America by the year 2000 as part of a national energy independence plan. That never came to pass: 104 nuclear reactors operate today, compared with 40 then. [...]
An antinuclear antibody (ANA) test measures the amount and pattern of antibodies in your blood that work against your own body (autoimmune reaction). The body’s immune system normally attacks and destroys foreign substances such as bacteria and viruses. But in disorders known as autoimmune diseases, the immune system attacks and destroys the body’s normal tissues. [...]
Here are some arguments and some answers. The main page on nuclear energy is Nuclear Energy is the Most Certain Source The waste problem hasn’t been solved. The fuel for a nuclear power plant consists of hollow rods containing pellets of fissionable material – uranium oxide enriched in U-235 for the most common reactor [...]
What are antinuclear antibodies? We normally have antibodies in our blood that repel invaders into our body, such as virus and bacteria microbes. Antinuclear antibodies (ANAs) are unusual antibodies, detectable in the blood, that have the capability of binding to certain structures within the nucleus of the cells. The nucleus is the innermost core within [...]
German Chancellor Angela Merkel has announced a “measured exit” from nuclear power in response to the crisis affecting four reactors in Japan. Defending the temporary closure of Germany’s seven oldest reactors, she said the Japanese disaster meant it could no longer be “business as usual”. The German chancellor said it was impossible to return to [...]
