Arnie analyzes the secrecy & deception of nuclear industry & government in this latest report:

Closing Ranks:  The NRC, the Nuclear Industry, and TEPCo. Are Limiting the Flow of Information from Fairewinds Associates on Vimeo.

Arnie Gundersen discusses inconsistancies between what the NRC, TEPCO, and the Nuclear Industry are saying privately and publicly.  Documents from the French nuclear firm, Areva, and the NRC reveal what the industry knows about the Fukushima disaster.

Although deception by nuclear industry & government comes as no surprise, I still find this report incredibly disturbing nontheless.

Yesterday, as I was reviewing the latest developments, the information dispensed by all was pretty much the typical glossing of the situation. Attempt to put it in its best light while reporting some small successes was evident in all.

However, this one really stood out. New York Times had the real story, this eye-opener, which is mentioned by Arnie:

U.S. Sees Array of New Threats at Japan’s Nuclear Plant

Published: April 5, 2011

United States government engineers sent to help with the crisis in Japan are warning that the troubled nuclear plant there is facing a wide array of fresh threats that could persist indefinitely, and that in some cases are expected to increase as a result of the very measures being taken to keep the plant stable, according to a confidential assessment prepared by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
