Iran: The Ministry of Defense is now using octagen as a bomb.  Octagen is also used as rocket fuel and, in countries that have nuclear weapons, it is used as the detonator for nukes.

The government revealed a new nuclear site called Pasman Gor.  Government administrators claim they will reveal numerous nuclear industry developments that until now were “currently under the monopoly of a handful of nations.” 

Japan: News reports that Tokyo Electric Power Company is concerned over a massive radiation spike coming from a near empty wastewater storage tank.  At TEPCo’s Fukushima Daiichi a three years old wastewater tank is now emitting 8-thousand 1-hundred becquerels (bq) of radiation, last week it was only 87bq!  TEPCo administrators are trying to find out why.

Japan’s Board of Audit says this year’s decontamination efforts around Fukushima Daiichi will cost at least $27-billion USD! Now extrapolate that to $27-billion every year for the next 40 years, that’s how long they think decontamination efforts are to last (right, tell that to the people of Chernobyl).

Switzerland:  Researchers say they’ve come up with a product to greatly speed up wireless (WiFi) computer communications by blocking exposure to radiation that’s actually created by computer electronics. It’s called Graphene.  Radiation created by WiFi electronics themselves is one reason microchips can’t currently be made to operate any faster.   Graphene acts like polarized sunglasses for microchips, filtering out radiation.

United States: The U.S. is being turned into the world’s nuclear waste dumpsite.  Last month Japan shipped off tonnes of weapons grade plutonium to the U.S., now it’s being revealed that United Kingdom is shipping 7-hundred kg (1,543 pounds) of uranium to the U.S.

Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton reminded people of a forgotten radiation contamination event that took place at Bethlehem Steel in New York.  It happened in the 1940s and 50s.  Workers were exposed to uranium while making fuel rods for nuclear plants.  It wasn’t until the year 2000 that the U.S. Congress finally decided to pay for medical costs for those who were still alive!

North Carolina State University’s Afsaneh Rabiei claims to have created a bullet proof metallic foam that can also block radiation. Rabiei swears the secret for Composite Metal Foam’s ability to stop armor piercing bullets is the air bubbles, not the metal.  However, when it comes to blocking radiation CMF must use exotic metals like tungsten and vanadium.

United Kingdom:  Researchers at University of Manchester claim that the chemical that turns tomatoes red can block radiation contamination, under certain conditions.  They hope that one day lycopene can be used to help people undergoing radiation treatment for cancer.  Earlier studies suggested that lycopene can protect cigarette smokers from cancer causing nitrogen dioxide radical and peroxynitrite.
