Great Nations, Great Cities (Les grandes nations et des villes des Grands)

Jerusalem has never been the greatest city in the world unlike Rome, London, and New York.

Israel has never been the greatest country in the world.

But, everybody has been taught in these 2000 years what happened in Jerusalem of Israel 2000 years ago.

And, 2000 years ago did they teach anything about Mesopotamia? Yes, the first book of the Hebrew Bible (or the Christian Old Testament) is the Book of Genesis. Whenever they thought of their origin they thought of Mesopotamia but neither of Egypt nor of Europe. Between 2000 BC and 1 BC, southern Mesopotamia was not necessarily a dominant region but must have been referred to as homeland of Abraham in this period by Israelites.

So, what I think is in AD 4000 what city or nation will be remembered as spiritually the most important city and region for the preceding 2000 years between 2001 and 3999.

Indeed, we are at the start of the third bimillennium.


SECTION I: Biggest Nations

The Tokyo metropolitan area consists of Tokyo Prefecture, Kanagawa Prefecture, Saitama Prefecture, Chiba Prefecture, etc. It occupies most part of the Kanto Plain connected to Tokyo Bay and the Mt. Fuji region.

It is said that the Japanese population is in a downward trend, but Japan is still a big nation in terms of the population.

1. China
:-------+-------+------+------+------+------+---1,331,460,000
2. India
:-------+-------+------+------+------+----1,155,350,000

8. Nigeria
:----154,730,000
9. Russia
:---141,850,000
10. Japan
:---127,560,000


SECTION II: Biggest Metroplexes

The Tokyo metropolitan area occupies most part of the Kanto Plain, surrounded by the Mt. Fuji region, northern mountains, northeast mountain areas, and Tokyo Bay within a 100 km radius range, including Yokohama City, Saitama City, and Chiba City. (The border to Fukushima Prefecture is at around 150 km from the Tokyo Station.)

1. Tokyo (Japan)
:-------+-------+ ------+------+------+------+ ----35,330,000
2. Mexico City (Mexico)
:-------+-------+ ------+--18,740,000
3. New York (USA)
: ------+-------+ ------+--18,730,000
4. Sao Paulo (Brazil)
: ------+-------+ ------+18,330,000
5. Mumbai (India)
: ------+-------+ ------+18,200,000
6. Derry (India)

9. Dacca (Bangladesh)
:-------+-------+12,580,000
10. Buenos Aires (Argentina)
:-------+-------+12,550,000

Whether you admit or not, Tokyo can be the capital of the world like Jerusalem, if humbly described, though not yet so manifested in history.

SECTION III: The 3/11 Tsunami Video Taken by Residents

A little snow was falling on March 11, 2011 in northeast part of Honshu Island of Japan.

In one video, a Japanese citizen living in his home happened to take video of a tsunami rushing in and almost carrying a passer-by, though his family tried to rescue the person.

In another, people of a community were overwhelmed by a coming tsunami so powerful and horrible.

SECTION IV: Energy Related Patents in America

Japan is the second largest applicants to the US Patent and Trademark Office next to the U.S. itself in the field of energy-related technology.

Patent-based Technology Analysis Report – Alternative Energy

[Click to enlarge.]

SOL: Solar energy
WIN: Wind power
BIO: Bio energy
HYD: Hydro power
GEO: Geothermal energy
OCN: Wave and tidal power
H&FC: Hydrogen and fuel cell
CCS: Carbon capture and storage
WST: Waste-to-energy
...
Hydrogen and fuel cell technologies have seen increasing numbers of applications at USPTO since the mid-1990s. Fuel cells were initially designed for use in spacecraft but in the 1990s, further civilian uses were identified. Recently, the US government, together with major automotive and refinery companies laid out a "National Hydrogen Energy Roadmap" to foster research and development of hydrogen-related technologies. Commercialization of hydrogen liquefaction systems and automotive fuel cells has also been a focus of industry in the United States (DOE 2006).

http://www.wipo.int/patentscope/en/technology_focus/pdf/landscape_alternative_energy.pdf

So, China and South Korea have been stealing Japanese technologies in these decades. Experts in non-nonsense fields of the world all know it. Only students in China and South Korea are not taught this fact.

Yet, Japan needs China and South Korea as its operation ground due to a limit of Japan's land size and for preservation of its priceless nature.

Now a big typhoon is around the Philippines moving north and northeast to Taiwan, the Okinawa Islands, and the Japan proper.

Typhoons, earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, traffic accidents, and suicides have been major threats to the Japanese society.

But, finally, the nuclear threat is posed, as Japan planned to build 11 more nuclear reactors in the very near future.

Indeed, it is crazy. It is so since any nuclear plant cannot stand a disaster caused by a typhoons, an earthquake, a tsunami, a volcano eruption, a jet plane crash, and suicides of operators all happening together. In war, any nuclear power plant can be an easy and horrible target for enemy missiles and bombers.

Truly, compared with a state before March 11, 2011, every critic, journalist, or blogger in Japan is talking about 100 milli sieverts, 20 milli sieverts, 1 milli sieverts, 0.07 micro-sieverts and other radiation levels like a mad man. So, it is enough. Fukushima Daiichi must become history as soon as possible.




Act 5:26 Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them without violence: for they feared the people, lest they should have been stoned.

Act 5:27 And when they had brought them, they set them before the council: and the high priest asked them,

Act 5:28 Saying, Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man's blood upon us.

Act 5:29 Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.

"they glorified God" - (Levels of Radiation and Calculation)

Tokyo Streets in the Rain

Levels of Radiation and Calculation (niveaux de rayonnement et le calcul)

As all the six nuclear reactors of Fukushima Daiichi are stopped due to the 3/11 Disaster, Tokyo Electric Power Company has lost 32,949,000,000 kilowatt-hours in its output of power generation.

Accordingly, in late March and in early April, TEPCO applied regional planned outage to its service areas around Tokyo (which is now not implemented).

Though this outage did not apply to Tokyo Metropolitan Area, the Imperial couple of the Emperor and the Empress stopped using electricity as if the Imperial Palace had been included in a certain outage area. Their Majesties the Emperor and Empress reportedly dined by candlelight without space heating by electricity during the assumed outage.

Of course, the government office, ministry buildings, the Prime Minister Office, and TEPCO's headquarters building enjoyed electricity as much as they wanted during the planned outage applied to some areas around Tokyo.

I think that there are many Japanese voters who want Prime Minister Mr. Naoto Kan to resign at appropriate timing or as soon as possible, since the 3/11 Disaster occurred while he was held against having received illegal political money from a Korean resident in Japan.


SECTION I: Fukushima Elementary/Middle Schools Radiation Levels

There are more than 1600 elementary schools, junior high-schools, and kindergartens in Fukushima Prefecture as the prefecture has 2 million population.

A Japanese authority measures a radiation dose level at the height of 1 cm and 1 meter above the play ground of each school to present results in a web site. For example:

#...Name...City...micro Sieverts/hour (1 cm)...micro Sv/h (1 meter)
7 - Onami Elementary School, Fukushima: 6.1, 4.8
249 - Sakura Nursery, Koriyama: 5.2, 3.2
970 - Tamano Jr. High, Soma, Soma: 5.2, 4.1
1003- Onahama Higashi Elementary, Iwaki: 0.75, 0.62

http://atmc.jp/school/

The dose of 5 micro Sieverts per hour means 120 micro Sieverts per day, 3.6 milli Sieverts/month, and 43 milli Sieverts/year, which is believed to be fairly dangerous to children.



SECTION II: PC Performance in 2000's

Let’s pick up PCs made by Toshiba (a Japanese electronics giant) in 2000’s.

Launch Date...Model...CPU...Memory...HDD
============================================
Oct. 2000…DB65P/4MC…650MHz…64MB…20GB

Oct. 2001…T3/410PME…1GHz…256MB…30GB

Oct. 2002…T6/518CDE…1.8GHz…256MB…40GB

Oct. 2003…EX/522PDET3…2.2GHz…256MB…80GB

May 2004…VX/2W15LDSTW…1.5GHz…256MB…80GB

Aug. 2005…VX/670LS…1.73GHz…512MB…100GB

Aug. 2006…TX/980LS…1.66GHz…1GB…120GB

Aug. 2007…TX/67D…1.80GHz…1GB…160GB

Aug. 2008…TX/66G…2.26GHz…2GB…320GB

Oct. 2009…TX/66K…2.53GHz…4GB…500GB

Between 2000 and 2009, the CPU performance increased by 3.9 times; the memory size by 62.5 times; and the hard disk capacity by 25 times.

In total a personal computer was powered up by 3.9 x 62.5 x 25 = 6094 times.

The operating system was enhanced from Windows Me to XP and Vista and to Windows 7.

If it is simply translated to processing time, a manipulation of a PC that had taken one hour and 40 minutes in 2000 could be completed in one second in 2009.

Or what it had taken a full day in 2000 to handle a bunch of data files could be accomplished in 14 seconds in 2009.

It is enormous progress. It is no wonder that CIA could not find whereabouts of Osama bin Laden in 2001, though the Federal Government could do in 2011. It is so, since what CIA had been doing in a year to look for Osama bin Laden using computers in 2000 could be done in 1 hour and 30 minutes in 2009.

Joking aside, this performance growth also tells why China could so swiftly absorb or steal technical/business information from Japan and the U.S. in 2000's.

*** *** *** ***

Recently viewers in the U.S., Germany, and Iran take higher ratios among all in this blog.

The Fukushima Daiichi accidents must have an influence on this trend.

The U.S. has the most nuclear power stations among all the nations in the world; Germany has decided to abandon nuclear energy; but Iran is still making efforts to build a nuclear power station for their own.

As Prime Minister of Japan Mr. Naoto Kan said in France and G8 Summit, Japan is going to develop non-nuclear energy more. Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and Fukushima Daiichi, it is enough for Japan.

And, Israel should stop pursuing a commercial nuclear energy program:

It also touched on Japan. "It certainly caused me to reconsider the projects of building civil nuclear power plants," Netanyahu said. "I have to tell you I was a lot more enthusiastic about it than I am now."
...
"I don't think we're going to pursue civil nuclear energy in the coming years," responded Netanyahu.

http://piersmorgan.blogs.cnn.com/2011/03/17/israel-prime-minister-netanyahu-japan-situation-has-caused-me-to-reconsider-nuclear-power/?hpt=T2

And, Israel should abandon all the nuclear weapons it has secretly developed.

Of course, Pakistan, India, and China should abolish their defense strategy ultimately relying on nuclear weapons.

Then, the U.S., France, the U.K., and Russia (in addition to North Korea) should know that no one in the world is afraid of their nuclear weapons.

Luk 5:23 Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk?

Luk 5:24 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon earth to forgive sins, (he said unto the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thine house.

Luk 5:25 And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that whereon he lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying God.

Luk 5:26 And they were all amazed, and they glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to day.

The 3rd Bi-Millennium (Le troisième bi-millénaire)

Probably, it is time to review 2000's.

Has anything drastic occurred during the first decade in the third 2000 year period since departure of Abraham from Mesopotamia that could match the emergence of Christ Jesus in the first decade of the second bimillennium since the departure of Abraham from Mesopotamia being led by his God?

(In this context, the first year of our calender should be the year when Abram left Ur of Mesopotamia. The birth year of Christ Jesus should be 2000 or 2001 as you like. Hence, we are now in 4011. I strongly recommend Judaists, Christians, and Muslims to adopt this Abraham Calendar system that has stretched for 4011 years up till now.)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2000s_(decade)


SECTION IV: 2000's Economic Fiascoes

2007 - 2009: The rise in interest rates and the collapse of the housing market caused a wave of loan payment failures in the U.S. in 2007. The subsequent mortgage crisis caused a global financial crisis. Economic activity was severely affected around the world in 2008 and 2009,[88] with disastrous consequences for carmakers.

2008: During 2003, the price rose above $30, reached $60 by August 11, 2005, and peaked at $147.30 in July 2008. The recession caused demand for energy to shrink in late 2008 and early 2009 and the price plunged as well.

The ideal state of mankind on the earth is of course for everybody to live the highest level of spiritual and material life.

It is very possible with the level of civilization mankind has achieved. But, reality is opposite.

It is because there are many factors, and the most important one is the American Dream.

The American Dream is the underlying cause of the 9/11 Terror of 2001 and the Financial Crisis of 2008, since Americans have tried to achieve the American Dream by leveraging crude oil in the Middle East and financial tricks on Wall Street. They have pursued their goal while neglecting religion and justice domestically and internationally. So, the decade of 2000's is a testing time for the Americans and the American Dream.

Regardless of judgment by the God, this decade has actually ended when President Mr. Barack Obama took on Osama bin Laden.

And another decade started with the 3/11 Disaster of Japan, including the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accidents. It is as if the God had punished Japan so that the Japanese would come to themselves and get prepared for its new role in the third bi-millennium, since Japan has already helped China become an economic power.

"hath everlasting life" - (State of Radioactivity)

Tokyo Station in Rain...

State of Radioactivity (État de la radioactivité)

No one has got panics in Japan despite the 3/11 Disaster accompanied by the Fukushuima Daiich nuclear accidents.

However, everybody looks like keeping low profile.

Generally speaking, just in the same manner as Americans behaving after the 9/11 Terror, pious people would be more pious and evil ones will be more evil in the wake of a great shock given to society without advance notice.

It is as if the God were screening people. But, for what? To accelerate a process for the Last Judgment? Or to make the world continue a little longer by having evil ones invoke curses on them fast and strengthening pious ones for advancement into the Kingdom of God?

The answer is always in history. People who study history in the 22nd century will surely find an answer.


SECTION I: Radioactivity in Europe and Japan

In 1960's, hydrogen bombs and atomic bombs (nuclear bombs) were tested frequently and in a large scale all over the world by the U.S., the USSR, France, the U.K., and China.

Consequently, water and soils on the earth were largely radioactively contaminated.

Before 1963
Average yearly radioactivity in rain in Central Europe: 740 Bq/Kg
Surface water radioactivity in Central Europe: 444 Bq/Kg
Surface sea water radioactivity of the North Atlantic Ocean: 22.2 Bq/Kg

In 1963/1964
Average yearly radioactivity in rain in Central Europe: 222,000 Bq/Kg
Surface water radioactivity in Central Europe: 166,500 Bq/Kg
Surface sea water radioactivity of the North Atlantic Ocean: 1,850 Bq/Kg

In 1979
Average yearly radioactivity in rain in Central Europe: 9,250 Bq/Kg
Surface water radioactivity in Central Europe: 7,400 Bq/Kg
Surface sea water radioactivity of the North Atlantic Ocean: 555 Bq/Kg

(http://d.hatena.ne.jp/longtonelongtone/20110518/1305716915)

In the wake of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident in March 2011, radiation levels around Tokyo Prefecture and Fukushima Prefecture have increased as follows.

Soil radioactivity in Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo: 1,904 Bq/Kg...(April 10)
Soil radioactivity in Koto Ward, Tokyo: 3,201 Bq/Kg...(April 10)
Soil radioactivity in Chiba City, Chiba: 1,327 Bq/Kg...(April 11)
Soil radioactivity in Kamisu City, Ibaraki: 455 Bq/Kg...(April 20)
Soil radioactivity in Fukushima City, Fukushima: 27,650 Bq/Kg...(March 19)

(http://d.hatena.ne.jp/chamuchamu/20110520/1305848220)

So, the current radioactive situation around Tokyo or even around Fukushima Prefecture is far better than that around Berlin and other European cities from the middle of 1960's to 1970's.

(Note: One becquerel or 1 Bq means that one atom per second collapses radioactively emitting nuclear radiation.)



SECTION II: 20 Milli Sieverts for Children?

In Fukushima Prefectures there are 600 elementary schools. But, some of them are under an influence of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident.

According to the Government, a radiation dose up to 20 milli sieverts per year can be accepted for children, so that no evacuation of children from schools is planned and practiced.

For example, a radiation dose in Fukushima City, some 75 km from Fukushima Daiichi, is about 1.5 micro sieverts per hour. It is 30 micro sieverts per day or 1 milli sierverts per month. Consequently, children in Fukushima City receive radiation of 12 milli sieverts per year.

But, in the play ground of some school, the radiation level is higher than than 1.5 micro sieverts per hour. The Kan Cabinet simply tells that the school management should not let children play in the exercise ground.

Is this limit of 20 milli sieverts for good health of children right and reasonable?

Or should the Government hire 5000 buses to move children everyday to other schools or facilities in a safer zone to have children take lessons in class rooms?

This is a serious issue that might decide the fate of the Kan Cabinet, since they might be causing future health problems inside the bodies of children.

It will cost just $200 million or so to use 5000 buses everyday for long distance school attending by children in affected areas of Fukushima Prefecture. It can be essily covered by the Japanese Government.

Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists Nov 1997

No Dose Too Low
...
Both sides agree that studies of Japanese bomb survivors show strong evidence of adverse effects at a dose of 200 milliSieverts for adult survivors and 100 milliSieverts in the case of children. Below that, the Health Physics Society says, there is an "inability to detect any increased health detriment."

But most others disagree. They cite Alice Stewart's pioneering Oxford studies, which revealed that children whose in utero exposures were as little as 10 to 20 milliSieverts had 40 percent more childhood leukemias than those who were not exposed – a statistically significant increase in risk at low doses. Although Stewart's work, published in 1970, was long attacked by nuclear industry proponents, subsequent studies have supported its main findings and government radiation authorities now quote the Oxford studies without caveat.

In addition to Stewart's work, a 1995 study that pooled the results of seven epidemiological investigations showed a statistically increase in the incidence of human thyroid cancer in groups that received doses of between 10 and 100 milliSieverts.

After the 9/11 Terror, it is said that America has changed. First, nationalism went mainstream, helping President Mr. George W. Bush get reelected. Then, acquisitive attitudes got intensified among citizens leading to the subprime loan problem. Finally, a showdown came with the fall of the financial sector and the bankruptcy of GM. But, a new era started with new president Mr. Barack Obama who finally took on Osama bin Laden. And, Wall Street and American big enterprises, including GM, came back on the old track. Though it is a little difficult to clearly indicate how Americans changed in this decade, they look at least a little educated. Conversely, America has become less dangerous to the world. It will not invoke another 9/11 or Lehman shock. Americans are going to behave a little more modest.

However, after the 3/11 Disaster of Japan, it is still unclear how Japan will change, and how China, South Korea, Taiwan, and North Korea will be influenced by change in Japan.

Anyway, as 2000's began with the 9/11 Terror in the world, 2010's began with the 3/11 Disaster for some countries in the world.

"if thou bring thy gift to the altar" - (TEPCO's Barriers)

Tokyo Station Street in Rain...

District of Ueno and its JR Station

(Photos taken by EEE Reporter yesterday; Click to enlarge.)


TEPCO's Barriers (TEPCO obstacles)

The U.S. exports to China in 2010 were $91.9 billion.

The U.S. imports from China in 2010 were $364.9 billion.

Japan's exports to China in 2010 were $149.96 billion.

Japan's imports from China in 2010 were $152.76 billion.

Japan exports to China 50% more than the U.S. does, while Japan imports from China 50% less than the U.S. does. Accordingly the Japanese trade with China is somewhat balanced unlike the case of the U.S.

Or, Japanese technology is imported to China where it is used for Chinese export to the U.S.

Therefore, it is no wander that the Chinese elite all got so anxious about the 3/11 Disaster in Japan as the Chinese premier recently visited Japan for periodical meeting with the Japanese prime minister and the Korean president.


SECTION I: Tokyo Electric Power Company, Only 5 Barriers?

The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant and other nuclear power plants run by TEPCO had not so bad records in keeping safety, at least according to its official reports to the Government, till March 11, 2011.

Five Barriers Enclosing Radioactive Substances


The Points in a nuclear power plant where radioactive substances are produced are thoroughly enclosed in multiple barriers to ensure that no radioactivity can leak to the outside.

[Click to enlarge.]

http://www.tepco.co.jp/en/challenge/energy/nuclear/safety-e.html

The point at issue is that TEPCO's measures for safety were found to be insufficient in the wake of the 3/11 Disaster. Its five barriers are not enough to cope with a disaster beyond expectations, though they worked somewhat successfully until March 11, 2011. In order to advance for absolute perfection, which is a must for nuclear matters, it needs the following additional but essential barriers:

The 6th Barrier: Environmental strength with a focus on a historically maximum-level of earthquakes, tsunamis, sever weather, and other hazardous natural phenomena.

The 7th Barrier: Organizational and social system strength in operation, management, and supervision, including TEPCO itself, subcontractors, local communities, academic communities, and the Government.

The 8th Barrier: Awareness and philosophy enhanced for ultimate safety in the nation.

The conventional barriers TEPCO has adopted are based on its current technical ability and engineering level. It simply states what TEPCO would like to do while saving costs for safety as much as possible. It is centered around TEPCO's convenience.

But, the Barriers 6th, 7th and 8th proposed here are centered around external threats thinkable. It is hard to satisfy these conditions, so that TEPCO is requested to make efforts its nuclear-plant safety level without a limit and forever. On the contrary, TEPCO's current safety paradigm with its five barrier theory would allow TEPCO stop its efforts when it fulfills the conditions it specified based on its convenience and cost-effect^profit calculation.

Efforts to secure safety in a nuclear power plant must be endlessly and limitlessly pursued without a halt. But, TEPCO's current specifications about safety allow the company to stop its efforts to enhance safety but to pursue profits by saving any unnecessary and redundant measures it deems.

For this reason, the Japanese Government has the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency and the Nuclear Safety Commission which have, however, proved to be almost useless in the current 3/11 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident.

This defect in national-level safety management of the Japanese Government looks deeply rooted in the Japanese culture that has been nourished and fostered in the Japanese Archipelago isolated from the Asian Continent and the world while being allowed to enjoy rich and genial nature and climates. The environment of Japan has created remarkably modest and moderate personality among the Japanese people. But, it has not trained the people to be always well prepared for acute and pressing condition.

It is also concerned with religions and spiritualism of the Japanese at the deepest level.

There are many Americans who do not know that Japan has been the second largest fund provider for IMF in these decades.

In the wake of the Fuksuhima Daiichi nuclear accidents in the middle of March, many foreign students, especially Chinese students, left Japan.

But, now two months after the occurrence of the hydrogen explosion and fire in Fukushima Daichi, most of them have come back to Japan.

It is understood. Since four nuclear reactor units were partly broken 220 km northeast of Tokyo (it was only one reactor in the Chernobyl case), everybody would like to leave Tokyo. Even the American Government recommended American citizens to leave a 80-km zone from the Fukushima Daiichi plant.

Yet, 40 million Japanese are living around Tokyo as usual, and hundreds of workers are tackling the crippled nuclear reactors in Fukushima Daiichi. It is because radiation is not at a dangerous level around Tokyo, though it is still unusually high around Fukushima Daiichi.

There was a possibility that millions of people around Fukushima Prefecture were forced to evacuate their home towns, but the situation was not aggravated so much.

The most serious issue now is whether children in Fukushima Prefecture are allowed to go to school where they are expected to receive radiation of 20 milli sieverts per year. The Kan Cabinet has indicated that it can be accepted, though it might be a big mistake.

Forecast of Great Earthquake

Forecast of Great Earthquake

A very interesting study was made public in terms of prediction of a big earthquake:

Atmosphere Above Japan Heated Rapidly Before M9 Earthquake
Infrared emissions above the epicenter increased dramatically in the days before the devastating earthquake in Japan, say scientists.

Last year, we looked at some fascinating data from the DEMETER spacecraft showing a significant increase in ultra-low frequency radio signals before the magnitude 7 Haiti earthquake in January 2010

Today, Dimitar Ouzounov at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Centre in Maryland and a few buddies present the data from the Great Tohoku earthquake which devastated Japan on 11 March. Their results, although preliminary, are eye-opening.

They say that before the M9 earthquake, the total electron content of the ionosphere increased dramatically over the epicentre, reaching a maximum three days before the quake struck.
...
The Japan earthquake is the largest to have struck the island in modern times and will certainly turn out to be among the best studied. If good evidence of this relationship doesn't emerge from this data, other opportunities will be few and far between.
http://www.technologyreview.com/blog/arxiv/26773/

In Japan, too, many scientists are engaged in study on emission of electromagnetic wave from rocks being crushed. Some mechanisms are known that induces electromagnetic wave. But, the state of rocks deep underground is complicated. No clear and universal laws are yet to be formulated for the phenomenon of electromagnetic wave emission before occurrence of a great earthquake.

What I want to point to is concentration of force. There is a way to measure distribution of mass and intensity of electromagnetic wave radiation. But, there is no effective way to measure concentration of force, though pressure and temperature can represent it. However the point at issue is direct measurement of concentration of force is more effective than indirect measurement of electromagnetic wave generated due to crush of rocks which is triggered by concentration of force.

From a depth in the ground, strong electromagnetic wave can be issued to the outer space. But, pressure and temperature deep underground cannot reach the surface of the ground easily. So, to monitor the concentration of force a more active method should be adopted.

Put simply, when two great masses of underground rocks or part of the continental plates push and press each other before big crush, not so strong electromagnetic wave must be emitted but temperature on the friction surface of the two masses should increase and concentration of underground material should increase significantly. So, continuous observation of the temperature and the mass concentration should allow for forecast of a large scale earthquake.

There can be a few practical methods to measure them.

Today in Tokyo though no earthquake but rain:

Not many foreign tourists were seen in Akihabara, a popular electronics district of Tokyo, and Asakusa, a downtown hot spot for sightseeing. Since the outbreak of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear reactor accidents in the middle of March, not only less and less foreign tourists are coming to Tokyo but more and more foreigners, including Chinese workers in farms and factories outside Tokyo, have left Japan.

It is hard to say which is better for Japan to have more foreigners or less foreigners on its soil. Some Japanese do not like to see Chinese expanding their presence in Japan or American military bases holding vast areas.

But one thing sure is that it is impossible to expect foreigners to face, stand, and address the challenge of a possible great earthquake around Tokyo and fear of potential radioactive contamination.

Yet, this challenge will give new form to the Japanese people, making them all the more unique in the world.

Anyway, in the cold rain of May, I came back from Tokyo to see a TV news show that featured how three million commuters were trapped in Tokyo office districts over the night of March 11, 2011, in the wake of the great earthquake, since all the railroad systems were halted due to the aftermath of the great seismic tremor.

"when Jesus was passed over again by ship" - (EEE-Religion)

Tokyo Bay...

EEE-Religion

Who is the first man that prayed to God(s) in the human history?

And, will there be the last man who will pray to the God in the human history?

It decides the span of the history of mankind.

Even before Abraham, there was relationship between mankind and the God.

And, even after Christ Jesus, Islam was given to some people.

To neglect them all or to accept them all is the only reasonable behavior expressing full fear of the God.


SECTION I: God and Mankind

SECTION II: God and Hell

SECTION III: God vs. Money

SECTION IV: Good and Evil; Life and Death

Life and death of a living thing is essentially a matter of a biological and physical phenomenon.

There is, basically, no good and evil in death and life of a living thing other than mankind.

But, good and evil are strongly related to life and death of a man.

A man of good can have an eternal life and a man of evil will be condemned to eternal death.

In other word, for a man, good or evil must be a more important issue than life or death.

In this context, ultimately, there is no meaning in a happy life or a happy death, but there is in a blessed life or a blessed death, since the issue is an eternal life. However, it can be a tragic life or a tragic death like the case of Jesus Christ, though eventually it would turn to be a blessed life or a blessed death as the history proves.

*** *** *** ***

There is a Christian priest who does not believe existence of Heaven and the hell. Everything spiritual and supernatural he cannot understand. The Bible is just a mere story of a mysterious religion founder. But, as he could not become an elite member of a company where he worked, he decided to take over his family's business, namely a Christian priest. Yet, he became a somewhat successful priest. But, he still cannot understand Heaven and the hell and any other spiritual things. He has never caught a glimpse of a living figure of Jesus Christ in his life, though he cannot understand what the son of God means.

If there is any one of such priests in the Christian world, it is a failure. The Christian world has failed. It applies to Judaism and Islam. And, they have also failed.

Nonetheless, pious Christians, pious Muslims, and pious Judaists are possible. But, professional leaders of the religions have failed. They must all be deprived of their religious titles, such as a priest.

Only the God can give a religious title to a man. So, the God gave the title of the Son of God to Christ Jesus.

Anyway at least do not follow a religious leader who has more money than you have. It is so since he must look more foolish than you to the eye of the God.

By the way, in my theory, life is a form of spirit. Therefore, science of mankind cannot create life from material, since it is the God who governs spirit. And, this universe consists of only two elements: living things and nonliving matter. When a man found himself to be one of living things to be destined to die someday, a religion started to emerge.

Mar 5:20 And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all men did marvel.

Unlawful Killings

In January 1995, a great inland earthquake hit Kobe City, western Japan, taking 6000 lives.

Then, in March 1995, a cult group called Aum launched a sarin gas attack in Tokyo subway systems, killing scores of citizens and injuring 6000 commuters.

The year 1995 was truly symbolic for Japan where people were still half intoxicated in the aftermath of the late 1980's bubble economy.

In March 2011, an M9.0 great earthquake hit and a 500-km wide tsunami rushed to northeast Honsyu Island, Japan.

Then, in May 2011, American special troops attacked and executed the head of AlQaeda in Pakistan.

The year 2011 is truly symbolic for Japan, the U.S., and Muslims.

Yet, six years after 1995, the 9/11 Terror occurred in New York in 2001.

Most probably, history would take a similar scenario; we had better get prepared for 2017.

Joh 20:17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.

But, it is reality that some Muslims have been engaged in terror in some part of the world in these decades.

It should be also noted that behind terror there is wealth and oil money.

The U.K. has been busy in selling arms and military licenses to Islamic nations in the Middle East.

Diana Death Questioned in Cannes 'Unlawful Killing' Debut
By Farah Nayeri - May 14, 2011 2:40 AM GMT+0900

The circumstances of the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, and Dodi al-Fayed were questioned today in a documentary financed by 2.5 million pounds ($4 million) from al-Fayed's father Mohammed al-Fayed.
...
A number of U.K. TV channels refused funding, so he turned to Egyptian-born businessman al-Fayed for the money, Allen said. Asked how much, Allen said he didn't know; an al-Fayed representative stepped in to give the figure.

The documentary details events up to and after the crash, and highlights what it presents as suspicious elements, such as the absence of CCTV images of the car driving the princess; the never-identified driver of a Fiat Uno that was reported to have followed closely behind; and the delay in getting the princess to the hospital.

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-05-13/diana-death-questioned-in-al-fayed-unlawful-killing-film-debut-at-cannes.html

One common thing between the case of Osama bin Laden and the one of Princess Diana seems to be that they were killed unlawfully without respect for their humanity and dignity, even if Osama bin Laden was the true Islamic principal of the 9/11 Terror and Princess Diana was making the British royal system endangered through her personal connection with Muslims which might have been however set up by the Islamic Mafia.

Any rich man who knows truth about the long and winding connection between Osama bin Laden and Princess Diana would keep silence so that he or she would not become an enemy of richer and more influential gray eminences.

Comparison with Chernobyl

The U.K. is on the opposite side to Japan over the Eurasia Continent.

However, there are no volcanoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis in Great Britain. The U.K. is a very monotonous and simple country compared with Japan. However, the Anglo-Saxons have prevailed in the world, especially, in Canada, the U.S., New Zealand, Australia, etc., enjoying the status of English as a global language.

The Japanese language is mostly spoken in Japan. Japanese people who immigrated into other countries do not usually transfer Japanese unique cultural aspects to their children born and raised in foreign countries. They are no more members of the Japanese Civilization.

Yet, the Japanese people have suffered from far more testing time than the Anglo-Saxons. And, the God has added one challenge on Japan recently: the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident that started on March 11, 2011. So, this is a very apocalyptic event for mankind.

Rev 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

Rev 20:11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.

SECTION I: No Deaths in Fukushima Daiichi Accident

The big difference between the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident and Chernobyl's is that no accidental deaths from radiation have been reported in Fukushima Daiichi while many people lost their life in Chernobyl.

Chernobyl disaster
...
Thirty one deaths are directly attributed to the accident, all among the reactor staff and emergency workers.[9] A UNSCEAR report places the total confirmed deaths from radiation at 64 as of 2008. The World Health Organization (WHO) suggests it could reach 4,000.[10] A 2006 report predicted 30,000 to 60,000 cancer deaths as a result of Chernobyl fallout.[11] A Greenpeace report puts this figure at 200,000 or more.[12] A Russian publication, Chernobyl, concludes that 985,000 excess deaths occurred between 1986 and 2004 as a result of radioactive contamination.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_disaster

Though there are four reactor units crippled in Fukushima Daiichi, Chernobyl had only one reactor blasted and broken.

As a phenomenon, the Chernobyl case was a momentary all-out explosion, spraying all the nuclear fuel inside the reactor. But, the Fukushima Daiichi case looks like a long, slow, and persistent leakage of radioactive material from the four reactor units each of which was damaged by hydrogen explosion or fire.

The process to recover from the disaster is also different. In Chernobyl, essentially it is work for cleanup but in Fukushima Daiichi it is efforts to put nuclear fuel and contaminated water under control while the fuel is generating heat and poured water for cooling is turning to be new contaminated water.

There were 3.6 tons of uranium in the blown-off reactor of Chernobyl, but there are total 24 tons of uranium (including spent uranium) at stake in the four damaged reactors of Fukushima Daiichi. So, it is one digit larger in terms of scale for Fukushima Daiichi. Difficulty in fixing this 2011 Japanese nuclear accident lies in this size.


SECTION II: One Year Accumulation of Radioactive Material

The forecast of accumulated radioactive effect around Fukushima Daiichi is as follows:

(Click to enlarge.)
http://wikiwiki.jp/disklessfun/?plugin=attach&pcmd=open&file=first_year_dose_estimate_r.jpg&refer=kore-ga-hitsuyo

The red area is for more than 20 milli sieverts. The watery area is for 1 to 5 milli sieverts. (100 rem = 1 sievert.)

For reference, the number of deaths for received radioactive intensity in Chernobyl is as follows:

Clean-up Workers: 100 mSv; 200 died of leukemia, 2000 died of cancer (among 240,000).

Highly Polluted People: 50 mSv; 100 died of leukemia, 1500 died of cancer (among 270,000).

30-km Evacuees: 33 msV; 10 died of leukemia, 150 died of cancer (among 120,000).

Contaminated People: 10 mSv; 370 died of leukemia, 4600 died of cancer (among 5,000,000).

Now in Japan, a big focus is on how long Prime Minister Mr. Naoto Kan can sustain his status as prime minister.

His approval rating is around 25%, despite the current crisis of Fukshima Daiichi, and the rating for the ruling party DPJ is in the downward trend as the opposition LDP gains more support from voters nowadays.

Yet, he has done one remarkable job: a halt of operation of the Hamaoka Nuclear Power Plant 200 km west of Tokyo. Maybe only for this bold action, he might be allowed to keep power so far, though he has not followed ordinary democratic procedures in requesting a utility company to stop generating electricity in Hamaoka.

Anyway, it is the conservative pro-American LDP that fostered the nuclear power industry in Japan since 1960 as it had been in power till the fall of 2009. So, the responsibility for the Fukshima Daiichi accident must be shared by the LDP and the DPJ.

As even the Emperor and Empress visited so many times the earthquake/tsunami affected areas to express sympathy to victims and evacuees in these weeks, the Japanese people have come to realize that the 3/11 Disaster is a real warning from Heaven.

Over this tragedy with 26,000 deaths and a drop of GDP by 3.7%, the Japanese people would learn a lesson that the God can unleash the destructive natural power at His will at any time, if it takes a form of a great tsunami that could happen only once in 1000 years.

But, what has been so wrong with Japan? Was Japan punished on March 11, 2011? Were the Japanese punished like Judaists in 1930's and 1940's? Indeed, the history belongs to the God. We mankind live for the God and the history eventually.

So, in 2004 Indonesia was hit; in 2008 China was hit; in 2010 Haiti was hit; and in 2011 Christchurch, New Zealand, was hit, though Chile miners were all saved in 2010. Truly, the history belongs to the God. We mankind live for the God and the history eventually.

And, EEE Reporter has survived the 3/11 Disaster, just to make sure...



Joh 5:19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.

"and to lay him before him" - (Hydrogen Explosion)

Onahama Port, Iwaki City, 2 months after the tsunami

Fukushima Prefecture, Japan

(Photos taken by EEE Reporter; click to enlarge.)


Hydrogen Explosion

For nuclear power generation, 99% of efforts should be spent for prevention of leakage of radioactive material.

For this purpose, any explosion in the reactor building and the reactor vessel should be avoided.

Higher pressure could destroy the reactor vessel, leading to spraying and scattering of radioactive material into the environment.

Higher temperature could cause meltdown of uranium fuel, and generation of hydrogen gas inside the pressure vessel and its explosion in the reactor building.

The worst case is the bursting of the pressure vessel due to higher pressure. The second worst is the hydrogen explosion inside the reactor building. And, the last is the meltdown of uranium fuel.

But, it is not so complicated. If utility companies spend 10 times more money for protective measures, these possible accidents can be surely avoided. So, the true issue is that power companies are not educated so as to take full measures for disaster prevention by spending money as much as possible.

However, it is true that it is thought that it could happen only once in 1000 years that the beach where Fukuhsima Daiich Plant stands would suffer from a 15-meter high tsunami triggered by an M9.0 earthquake.


SECTION I: Hydrogen Explosion in Reactor Building

The mechanism that induced hydrogen gas in Fukushima Daiichi reactors is described as follows:

Zr (zirconium) ＋ 2H2O (water) --> ZrO2 (zirconia) ＋ 2H2 (hydrogen)

Zirconium is used as material for a metal frame to hold uranium fuel.

When uranium fuel got heated due to a lack of coolant water, its heat melts the metal frame so that zirconium seeps out of the metal frame to touch water inside the pressure vessel. Then, zirconium is changed to zirconia, inducing hydrogen gas out of the water.

This hydrogen, when meeting oxygen in the reactor building space out of the containment vessel, exploded to cause the large scale radioactive contamination around Fukushima Daiichi on March 12, 2011, even threatening Tokyo at one time.

Hydrogen Gas: Metal frame for uranium fuel --> Pressure vessel --> Containment vessel --> Reactor building --> Explosion

It is apparent that a frame to hold uranium fuel must have been made of material that never induces hydrogen gas when heated due to a trouble in the pressure vessel. It is a basic design problem. Improvement at this point can allow for avoidance of the kind of explosion as observed in Fukushima Daiichi. It is so basic and simple. It is a matter of material for a frame to hold uranium fuel.

Note that walls and floors of the reactor building are made of 1 to 2 meter thick concrete plates and slabs. And, reportedly the foundation of the building is 8 meters thick. The ceiling is reportedly made weak intentionally so that a possible explosion would have its bomb blast escape the building.

SECTION II: Not Uranium but Zirconium that is Dangerous

But why was zirconium adopted for component material in the nuclear reactor?

Published on Saturday, March 12, 2011 by CommonDreams.org
Behind the Hydrogen Explosion at the Fukushima Nuclear Plant
by Karl Grossman
...
That is because a highly volatile substance called zirconium was chosen back in the 1940's and 50's, when plans were first developed to build nuclear power plants, as the material to be used to make the rods into which radioactive fuel would be loaded.

There are 30,000 to 40,000 rods—composed of twenty tons of zirconium—in an average nuclear power plant. Many other substances were tried, particularly stainless steel, but only zirconium worked well. That's because zirconium, it was found, allows neutrons from the fuel pellets in the rods to pass freely between the rods and thus a nuclear chain reaction to be sustained.

But there's a huge problem with zirconium—it is highly volatile and when hot will explode spontaneously upon contact with air, water or steam.

The only other major commercial use of zirconium through the years has been in flashbulbs used in photography. A speck of it, on a flashbulb, ignites to provide a flash of light.

But in a nuclear plant, we're not talking about specks—but tons and tons of zirconium, put together as a compound called "zircaloy" that clads tens of thousands of fuel rods.

Heat, a great deal of heat, builds up in a very short time with any interruption of coolant flow in a nuclear power plant—the problem at Fukushima after the earthquake that struck Japan.

Zirconium, with the explosive power, pound for pound, of nitroglycerine, will catch fire and explode at a temperature of 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit, well below the 5,000 degree temperature of a meltdown.

Before then, however, zirconium reacts to the heat by drawing oxygen from water and steam and letting off hydrogen, which itself can explode—and is said to have done so at Fukushima.

As a result of such a hydrogen explosion, there is additional heat—bringing the zirconium itself closer and closer to its explosive level.

Whether in addition to being a hydrogen explosion, zirconium also exploded at Fukushima remains to be known.

But what has happened regarding hydrogen at Fukushima, like the "hydrogen bubble" when the Three Mile Island plant in Pennsylvania underwent its near partial meltdown, is no mystery—but precisely what is expected in a loss-of-coolant accident.

It is described in U.S. government and nuclear industry accident studies as a "metal-water" reaction. It's a reaction, the research has long stated, that can easily trigger a meltdown.

Using tons of a material otherwise used as the speck that explodes in a flashbulb in nuclear power plants —yes, absolutely crazy.
http://www.commondreams.org/view/2011/03/12-3

Yet, a new type of fuel rods with a stainless steel frame is now manufactured and introduced into the reactor, so that hydrogen explosion can be avoided.

Anyway, when some engineers decided to use zircaloy for a metal frame to house uranium fuel in 1950's, the fate of Fukushima Daiichi of 2011 was decided. It was not meltdown of uranium fuel inside the pressure vessel but hydrogen gas generated through interaction between zircaloy and water at a temperature lower than that for meltdown that caused this large-scale nuclear contamination accident in Fukushima Daiichi.

*** *** ***

There are many arguments about how much radioactive contamination has expanded around the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Plant.

Some say that it is more than Chernobyl; Others (mostly those close to the Government) say it is not dangerous for children to receive 20 milli sieverts per year. Anyway, data is collected by various parties concerned, including the US Government.
