Disaster (Radioactive) Debris Burning: Now It's Labor Union's Turn to Say "Yes, Let's!"

There is always "the first".

It's not just the mayor of a small city in Shizuoka who happens to own a waste processing business, or large cement companies eager to accept and burn at their plants in Saitama Prefecture. Please welcome the labor union in Ehime Prefecture in Shikoku, Rengo Ehime with 50,000 members, as the latest entity to strongly support burning the debris in their prefecture to help Iwate and Miyagi Prefectures "recover".

From Nankai Broadcasting Company (2/17/2012):

連合愛媛は、東日本大震災で発生した大量のがれきの処理について、愛媛県内での受け入れ実現に向けた取り組みを求める要請書を県に提出することを決めました。

Rengo Ehime [Labor Union Ehime] has decided to submit a request to the Ehime prefectural government to come up with the plan to move forward in accepting the disaster debris from the March 11, 2011 earthquake/tsunami in Ehime.

 これは、17日開かれた連合愛媛の執行委員会で決まったものです。東日本大震災で発生した震災がれきを巡っては、東京や山形などが受け入れを実施していますが、原発事故による放射性物質の影響などを理由に多くの自治体は受け入れに消極的な対応となっています。要請書案では、被災地の仮置き場に積み上げられた震災がれきが復興・再生の妨げになっているとして、県に対し、一刻も早くがれきの受け入れが実現するよう取り組むことを求めています。連合愛媛は週明け早々にも、要請書を県に提出することにしています。

This was decided on February 17 at the steering committee of Rengo Ehime. Tokyo and Yamagata have already started accepting the disaster debris, but most municipalities are reluctant to accept because of the effect of radioactive materials [on the debris] from the nuclear accident. The request states that the disaster debris piling up in the temporary storage yards in the disaster affected areas is the impediment to the recovery and renewal, and that the prefectural government should come up with the plan to facilitate the acceptance of the disaster debris into Ehime as soon as possible. Rengo Ehime plans to submit the request early next week.

Tokyo Shinbun reports (in print version only) that there is hardly any sign of the disaster debris in the disaster-affected areas being perceived as the impediment to recovery by people in the disaster-affected areas themselves. The facts are apparently none of the concern for the labor union in Ehime; it's the idea that matters, or what the labor union thinks it must be. In that, the union is not alone, either.

Ehime Prefecture takes up the northwest quadrant of the island of Shikoku, facing the Setonaikai, the Inland Sea of Japan. Temperate climate, famous for Ehime mandarin oranges (called "satsumas" in the US, as the orange originated in Satsuma, today's Kagoshima Prefecture). The prefecture has a nuclear power plant at Ikata, on Sadamisaki Peninsula, the narrowest peninsula in Japan jutting out toward the island of Kyushu.

By the way, the entire peninsula is sitting right along the largest fault in Japan, the Median Tectonic Line. If the prefecture is that bold to build a nuclear power plant by the largest fault in the country, I suppose burning a bit of radioactive debris is nothing.

Open air burning of irradiated debris is a crime against humanity.

Burn the politicians! But first tar and feather them.

Meh, the crap that is given off after burning a politician is much deadlier than what is given off after burning irradiated garbage.

Fifty thousand members, huh. They could wave a billion members at me, it wouldn't make a difference. Stupid people are still stupid people, and I'm not going to be one of them.

What is wrong with this "Picture"?

1. Tepco is one the "GANGS" that runs Japan.
2. What is good for TEPCO is good for Japan.
3. The Japanese people MUST OBEY TEPCO for the "GOOD" of the Country.
4. The financial health of TEPCO is more important than the physical health,
... of the Japanese People and all their FUTURE children!
5. Only TEPCO knows what is best, all others must BOW to TEPCO's Rule.
+
Japan is now a majority TEPCO Stock Owner, where is their TEPCO Board seat and who is asking questions and demanding answers for all those in Tokyo receiving TEPCO's radioactiv­e fallout?

This is UNACCEPTAB­LE!

Who wants to star in a Japanese radioactiv­e pollution Film!

Here is my explanation of the Black G☢☢

I believe that the reason for the high Cesium counts is the interaction of Earth Quakes (EQ's) with the Corium(s) with the groundwater below the complex and that may even be the cause of the Black Dust that is now being widely observed in Northern Japan.

EQ's + H☢T Corium(s) + Ground water = (Hydro Corium) Fissioning

Fissioning + Time => Radioactive Steam Releases => Black Dust (helped by burning Debris forms Black G☢☢

I think future generations will look at what is happening in Japan as a perfect example of a Government using Science to condom its citizens to an unhealthy future in order to make money for those that control the Government!

TEPCO is now engaged in a Health War not only against the Japanese People but all those living downwind from Fukushima!

Japan's burning of nuclear tainted waste will be seen by History as the largest threat to mankind's health in history, since it will be spread by the Jet Stream and cover the Earth!
