DPS	Case study - Nov 19th 2018 Tohoku Quake Deadlock Protective Systems

The most costly accident in the history is nuclear accident in Japan. Waves from coastal M9 Tohoku quake on March 11th 2011 ( 5.46 GMT ) broke Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. 

Tohoku quake raised waves with up to 40 meter height. Waves killed 16 000 people, injured 6 000, 2 500 were never found. 122 000 buildings collapsed, 281 000 went partially down and waves damaged 730 000 buildings. The cost of tsunami-quake system is estimated to be $230 billions.

But the cost of Fukushima nuclear accident is far more bigger. Waves flooded the plant, then the quake-wave system broke the walls from few reactor rooms. The constructor of the plant is General Electric, USA. The operator is Tokyo Electric Power Company ( TEPCO ).

In this picture you see the on-ground gamma radiation from the plant. Two weeks after the accident. Winds were not very favorable, they pushed the radiation-scents towards Tokyo. Changed direction right before the city.

"Radioactive material was released from the containment vessels for several reasons: deliberate venting to reduce gas pressure, deliberate discharge of coolant water into the sea, and uncontrolled events."

- During October 2012, radioactivity was still leaking into the ocean. Fishing in the waters around the site was still prohibited. Levels of radioactive material in the fish caught were not lower than immediately after the disaster.
- 26th October 2012, TEPCO admitted that it could not stop radioactive material entering the ocean, although emission rates had stabilized. Undetected leaks could not be ruled out, because the reactor basements remained flooded. The company was building a 2,400-foot-long steel and concrete wall between the site and the ocean, reaching 100 feet (30 m) below ground, but it would not be finished before mid-2014.
- 22nd July 2013, it was revealed by TEPCO that the plant continued to leak radioactive water into the Pacific Ocean.
- 20th August 2013, in a further incident, it was announced that 300 metric tons of heavily contaminated water had leaked from a storage tank. Water was radioactive enough to be hazardous to nearby staff.
- in 2013, about 400 tons of water per day of cooling water was being pumped into the reactors. Another 400 tons of groundwater was seeping into the structure. Some 800 tons of water per day was removed for treatment, half of which was reused for cooling and half diverted to storage tanks.
- in February 2014, NHK reported that TEPCO was reviewing its radioactivity data, after finding around 10 times higher levels of radioactivity than was reported earlier. 
- 10th September 2015, floodwaters driven by Typhoon Etau prompted mass evacuations in Japan and overwhelmed the drainage pumps at the stricken Fukushima nuclear plant. A TEPCO spokesperson said that hundreds of tons of radioactive water had entered the ocean as a result. Plastic bags filled with contaminated soil and grass were also swept away by the flood waters.

From the above could say, that

Plant design seems to follow Einstein's and his Nuke boys general levels. Recklessly designed, built and located system. Safety and related things seems to be the least of concerns. The nightmarish story above is impossible in properly designed plant. After millennium nuclear plants were designed and built with the same old policies ( Areva-Siemens, Europe ).

Before RD nuclear solutions( 2018 ), it was impossible to clean things from nuclear pollution. In principle collecting the radiating material together, strengthens the lethal field and time neutralization takes.

Water is somewhat easier to clean than air, water conducts electricity, air does not. If the nuclear theorems turns out be correct, air can still be cleaned with scents and mechanical cleaners. Nuclear anomalies needs heat and dedicated system.

When universal anomaly ends into ocean, the additional weight makes the water molecule sink into bottom.  In green bottom the plants ad fishes recycles the anomalies.  When anomaly sinks at depth, where bottom has no vegetation, the anomaly is left into there. When anomaly falls into depths - dead ocean bottom - the pressure cracks many from the anomalies. All narrow atom lava bridges in between proton and electrons/protons, obviously goes broke. Still missing the visual for the messes, nuclear plant creates. Not very easy to say how the surviving anomalies behave at the bottom. Possible that at some point you have to develop a system for cleaning the ocean bottoms from anomalies. Can't help / deny it. In general levels you should not be too optimistic about the nuclear plants and waste. When you do so, you usually go from one disappointment to another. Another peculiarity - catalyst converter - cannot produce similar kind of unpleasant impossibilities.

Hike in lethalness belongs to the nature of radioactive scent. If for example meat of fish weighs more than it should, it means that there are Universal Anomalies in the flesh. Scent infection does not add the weight.

There is a small danger in uncontrolled and un-cooled nuclear reaction. There is a chance that it would spread into other materials, escape from fuel rod. Heat can increase the speed and power with what the electrons hit protons and other electrons. Un controlled reaction consumes the fuel rods much more faster than controlled reaction. It is the way chain reaction works : fire and cold fusion speeds up after "ignition", too. If the heat generation continues long after the rods would've been used in controlled reaction, it is obvious, that the reaction has escaped to supports and reactor room.

There are claims, that General Electric and-or midgets advised Tokyo Power to leak radioactive water and gases to surroundings. Ground water leaks are unforgivable for plant design, so is the need for continuous cooling with external source. Plant stands right beside ( with a connection ) ocean side. Without any safety zones and precautions.

Soviet-US suicide bombers from 1970's are not necessarily as bright as they wish : These two controlled the world with a threat, that if they start a nuclear war, the whole world will cease to exist. Including USA and Soviet Union. Sources of inspiration for Arabian suicide bombers and Hollywood movies ?

Coal plants are safe replacements for nuclear plants. They are not clean, shiny and media sexy, like green alien from Mars wants. They safe and cheap, sufficient capacity can be reached with reasonable plant size. Sea current plant is the most ecological and safest way to produce electricity. They take lots of area. Vacuum plant beats sea current plant in environmental aspects, falls slightly behind in safety.

How much ?

From this picture you can estimate the damages the nuclear accident caused. Japanese GDP was little around 5.8 trillions before the accident. After accident GDP raised two years, which totals to $1 trillion. The hike ended in 2013. GDP fell 500b, In 2014 fall was 700b. 2015 went with $1T downgrade. 2016 and 2017 went with 700b. 1 000 - 500 - 700 - 1 000 - 700 - 700 = $2 600 billions.

Part from the fall comes from closed nuclear power plants.

Nuclear power and usage of electricity [ 29th Nov 2018 ]

In the table :
Count = Number of nuclear reactors 
Capacity = Nominal capacity of built nuclear plants ( Mega Watts )
Prod / h = Electric nuclear power production in one hour ( Giga Watt Hours )
Usage = How much from the built nuclear capacity is used for power production

Production = Yearly production of Nuclear power ( Giga Watt Hours )
Share = Nuclear powers share from the total power creation.
Total = Yearly production of electric energy.
Tot / h = Electric power production in one hour ( Giga Watt Hours )
Population = Population in the year 2010.
Per million = Total electric production for one million people ( Giga Watts )

The last column in the table shows how much one million citizens consumes electricity. In global examination column is the most interesting column in the table. Per million values are comparable with all the other countries. Nuclear powers share from the total power production is another column, which suits to USA vs China comparisons.

Japan 2010 row is estimated situation before the 2011 quake. Before quake Japan was world 3rd biggest nuclear power user. The quake and closed plants has downgraded Japanese power production with 25%. 

Japan would need around 30 GW safe and easy power production capacity for restoring the power production to the levels before the big accident.

Canadians and Swedes are in the lead. Electric heating systems and forest industry ( pulp boiling and paper making ) needs lots of electricity. In the north you can never shut down the heating system, like you can for example shut down the air conditioning in the south. In Canada, Sweden, Finland, Russia and northern USA you got to keep the heating system on almost all year long. 

Oceania is the only continent without nuclear plants. Italy is the only bigger ( 58 million inhabitants ) nuclear free welfare country.

France leads in the usage of nuclear power. Over 70% from the produced power comes from nuclear plants. In overall scent-anomaly creation USA dominates charts. In per capita consumption USA is third. In overall electric consumption USA loses to China.

USA has been suffering power outtakes quite often and quite long time. In order to increase Per capita consumption from 1.5 to 1.6 USA would need 32 GW new continuous production power. In practice vacuum plant, sea current plant and river basin network are the only existing solutions for fulfilling the cap. In California and other drought driven you could put more weigh to coal plants.

From the wealthy countries Britons comes last in consumption per capita. Old fashioned people uses more gas and coal than others, it makes Britons look quite a lot poorer than they are in other stats.

Worldwide electricity creation-consumption is around 55 TWh per day. Listed nuclear countries consumes around 90 % from the electricity. 

When compared with oil, worldwide oil consumption is around 80 millions barrels per day. One liter oil equals to around 10 kWh electric power. In oil barrels worldwide consumption of electricity is around 35 million barrels per day.

Typical plant from late 1960s and 1970s ( nuclear boom ) is 2 to 3 GW plant.  When so, plant has more than one reactor unit. Unit powers are somewhere near1 GW. 

The table misses purchased energy, downgrades from sold electricity. In Europe you can buy electricity from the markets / neighboring countries. In USA you can buy and sell electricity to neighboring states.

Nuclear waste challenge  [ 9th June 2019 ]

1 GW nuclear plant uses 11 tons fuel in year, one truck load. Currently active nuclear radiator arsenal is around 600 000 GW. During one year these plants produces six million tons new nuclear waste. 

Nuclear plants boomed at around 1970, boom ended to Chernobyl accident in 1986. Could shortcut the waste production around 30 years, time after Chernobyl. When so the total amount of nuclear waste in our world is around 180 million tons. 

One cubic meter uranium weighs 19 tons. When so we come down to 10 million cubic meter volume. To this volume you can build two one kilometer high WTC towers, base was 2 x 64*64 meters. Or alternatively two one mile high WTC towers.

Cleaning and verification are slow. Required capacity is big. Facilities cost a fortune. And it is not yet known for sure, what nuclear chain reaction actually does to the rods.

Unlike great pop-group ... Albert and the Apostles ... claimed, nuclear fuels energy contents is around 8 000 000 kN / kg. ( this is calculated with 10 % efficiency in the plants )
Square root from 8 000 000 000 N/kg gives light a speed of 89 500 m/s. When the amount of active mass is 10% light gets a 895 000 m/s speed. This speed can be added with weapon grade plutonium. According to the claims, the nuclear reaction uses less than 50 % from the active mass and leaves over 50% from the mass to the weapons.

With these we come to the conclusion that Albert wasn't very good in calculus, either.
The verified speed of light ... with Albert's formula ... is only 2 000 km/s. And Albert ended into 300 000 km/s.

Power production shortage in EU  [ 2nd Dec 2018 ]

	In the table from EU you see the actual power creation in green line. The red line shows how much energy you would need for continuing the steady growth from early 1990s to late millennium.  With steady growth power creation would be 3 800 TWh, the actual creation is 3 100 TWh. This cap slows down EU economies and raises the price of electricity, when the growth begins. The power creation curve after 2010 does not follow EUs growth anymore. 700 TW yearly cap converts to 80 GW lack in power production capacity. In 2016 tax free kilowatt hour in EU area cost  12.5 cents to households. 8 cents to businesses and underground operators. Household consumes 2 500 - 5 000 kWh. The price drops after you consume over 500 000 kWh in one year. The taxed consumer prices were 20 cents for households. When so, 7.5 cents from the price comes from taxes. Taxation percent is as high as 60%.  Big businesses paid 11.5 cents from one kilowatt hour. Taxes are 3.5 cents, and the tax rate is 44%.
	Conversion to prices The power creation curve after 2010 does not follow EUs growth anymore. From this graph you see how the stagnated production has raised the prices. Just like it always happens with oil. The earlier 80 GW cap moved to prices right after economy started to recover from 2009 recession. With the missing 80 GW capacity the price of kilowatt would have fallen or stayed unchanged after 2009. Eurostat does not publish picture like time-lined price graphs. Found an independent graph from 2016, in the graph the price continued to raise. EU countries combined growth has been somewhere near zero after 2010. In principle price should always raise with wages and healthy inflation.
	Creation methods From this chart you see how EU creates electricity. Combustible fuels refers to coal plants, mostly. Great deal from natural gas is used for heating. Oil distiller produces also natural gases. Obviously the major source for gas plants and heating systems. Nuclear plants 25% share matches to major table in the above. Wind and solar plants are periodical. Their power production time is 30% or less. Hydro plant is seasonal, production falls during dry times / seasons. Since goal and gas forms almost 50% from power creation capacity, replacing all coal plants with nuclear and natural plants, would obviously end into a major catastrophe. The best way to use sugar oil in power production is electric generator, which is rotated with combustion engine. It is safe, relatively small and also efficient. In fixed installation, liquid fuel has the best weight / energy ratio. It is also safer and easier than gas. Gulf countries uses already big generator-combustion engine systems for creating electricity. Power companies are like oil companies. No matter how badly vuf-vufs messes the power production sector, the created mess is rather insignificant to power companies. If you for example have to close nuclear plants without replacement, the power company gets a good compensation for the lost capacity, from the sky high consumer prices. ( Ref : Californian energy crisis 2001 ) - - - - In 2017 USA share of combustible fuels has fallen to only 30%.
