The latest outrage: the Department of Energy (DOE) is considering a plan to allow radioactively-contaminated metal from nuclear weapons facilities to be “recycled.” This would allow this toxic metal to be mixed with clean recycled metal and enter into normal commerce—where it could be turned into anything from your next pants zipper to baby toys.

Up a River Without a Cleanup – Government guts Rocketdyne cleanup imperiling L.A. River, misuse of $41.5 million EPA Rocketdyne study prompts calls for investigation
Part Five of EnviroReporter.com‘s special investigation “Boeing’s Meltdown Makeover.”
Long-awaited EPA study finds high radiation findings with cesium-137, strontium-90 and plutonium-239/240 hundreds to over 1,900 times background.
The federal EPA and DTSC ditch the agreement to cleanup SSFL to background levels of remediation.
Longtime activists call for investigation of the agency’s misappropriation of $41.5 million that was supposed to guide DTSC to cleanup to background.
Gary Polakovic, author Boeing’s plan to greenwash Rocketdyne, shows up at EPA meeting – confronts longtime cleanup advocate Dan Hirsch and embraces Boeing “third party” ally John Luker.
Rocketdyne sits at the headwaters of the Los Angeles River, and that waterway’s $2 billion revamp is in danger of derailment by the radioactive and chemical contamination continuing to ooze offsite. This could torpedo the 50-year Master Plan of the city of Los Angeles’ centerpiece.

The Environment Ministry says nearly 6,000 square kilometers of land across Japan have subsided by more than 2 centimeters in the last fiscal year. […]This level is judged to have a potential impact on buildings’ stability.
The ministry says Kesennuma in Miyagi Prefecture sank deepest by 73.8 centimeters, followed by Ichikawa in Chiba by 30.9 centimeters [Fukushima Prefecture NOT tested].
The ministry officials say the subsidence is attributable to last year’s March 11th earthquake. They have expressed concerns over the spread of subsidence and further damage to buildings.

Michael..what a great way to start a New Year! It is just way beyond terrific to have all of these important articles, with their links, all listed on one page. First of all, it is really impressive to see that there are so many recent articles that MUST be read, and second…it is wonderful not to have to go hunting for them. I just wish I had the time back that I have spent in the past, trying to locate these articles, in order to forward them to friends, in an attempt to inform and educate them as to the nuclear crisis that is going on, thanks to Fukushima. I just wish that the US Government would go and do likewise!
While I know that there are certainly articles on this potential global disaster to be found in some small newspapers, I have not, so far, found anyone, anywhere, who has been tackling the whole Fukushima disaster, head on, as you have been doing. And, in addition, you have also written many articles, plus, now, a five part series, on our local nuclear and toxic chemical contamination on the Santa Susana Field Laboratory.
I cannot believe how incredibly lucky that we all are to have you here in our midst, doing your knowledgeable environmental reporting, without which we would basically all be in the dark, when it comes to understanding and interpreting everything that has been happening in California, the USA, and the World. My hope is that in 2013, you, and also Denise, will continue to have the concern, energy and courage to keep investigating and writing about all of these issues, which affect the health and welfare of all of us.
Meanwhile, 2012 grateful THANKS!
