[quote]What is clear, and which has never been reported before,
is that 130 tons of soil transported 5,300 miles from an atomic
test site in Nevada was dumped into a 30-foot-wide, 8-foot-deep
“conical plug” where the next bomb, Fig, was detonated.[/quote]

SNIPPETS:
Now the concrete coffin, which locals call “the Tomb,” is at
risk of collapsing from rising seas and other effects of climate
change. Tides are creeping up its sides, advancing higher every
year as distant glaciers melt and ocean waters rise.
Officials in the Marshall Islands have lobbied the U.S.
government for help, but American officials have declined,
saying the dome is on Marshallese land and therefore the
responsibility of the Marshallese government.
“I’m like, how can it [the dome] be ours?” Hilda Heine, the
president of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, said in an
interview in her presidential office in September. “We don’t
want it. We didn’t build it. The garbage inside is not ours.
It’s theirs.”

Nerje Joseph, 72, was 7 years old when the United States
detonated its largest nuclear bomb. The Castle Bravo test sent a
mushroom cloud into the sky and unexpectedly irradiated parts of
the northern Marshall Islands that she and her family called
home.
Nerje Joseph, 72, was a witness to the largest thermonuclear
bomb tested by the United States: the Castle Bravo detonation.
She was 7 years old at the time, living with her family in
Rongelap Atoll, 100 miles east of Bikini Atoll — a tropical
lagoon commandeered for nuclear testing.
On March 1, 1954, Joseph recalls waking up and seeing two suns
rising over Rongelap. First there was the usual sun, topping the
horizon in the east and bringing light and warmth to the
tropical lagoon near her home. Then there was another sun,
rising from the western sky.

It lighted up the horizon, shining orange at first, then turning
pink, then disappearing as if it had never been there at all.
Joseph and the 63 others on Rongelap had no idea what they had
just witnessed. Hours later, the fallout from Castle Bravo
rained down like snow on their homes, contaminating their skin,
water and food.
According to Joseph and government documents, U.S. authorities
came to evacuate the Rongelapese two days later. By that time,
some islanders were beginning to suffer from acute radiation
poisoning — their hair fell out in clumps, their skin was
burned, and they were vomiting.
Nerje Joseph, 72, was 7 years old when the United States
detonated its largest nuclear bomb. The Castle Bravo test sent a
mushroom cloud into the sky and unexpectedly irradiated parts of
the northern Marshall Islands that she and her family called
home.
The Castle Bravo test and others in the Marshall Islands helped
the U.S. establish the credibility of its nuclear arsenal as it
raced against its Cold War adversary, the Soviet Union, to
develop new atomic weapons. But the testing came at a horrible
price; Joseph and other Marshallese ended up becoming human
guinea pigs for U.S. radiation research.
Three years after Castle Bravo, U.S. authorities encouraged
Joseph, her family and her neighbors to return to Rongelap.
U.S. government documents from the time show that officials
weighed the potential hazards of radiation exposure against “the
current low morale of the natives” and a “risk of an onset of
indolence.” Ultimately they decided to go forward with the
resettlement so researchers could study the effects of lingering
radiation on human beings.
“Data of this type has never been available,” Merrill Eisenbud,
a U.S official with the Atomic Energy Commission, said at a
January 1956 meeting of the agency’s Biology and Medicine
Committee. “While it is true that these people do not live the
way that Westerners do, civilized people, it is nonetheless also
true that they are more like us than the mice.”
The resettlement proved catastrophic for the people of Rongelap.
Cancer cases, miscarriages and deformities multiplied. Ten years
later, in 1967, 17 of the 19 children who were younger than 10
and on the island the day Bravo exploded had developed thyroid
disorders and growths. One child died of leukemia.
In 1985, the people of Rongelap asked Greenpeace to evacuate
them again after the United States refused to relocate them or
to acknowledge their exposure, according to government documents
and news reports from the time.
Joseph, who had her thyroid removed because of her radiation
exposure, has spent nearly seven decades taking daily thyroid
medication, enabling her body to produce hormones it otherwise
would not generate.
A quiet, dignified woman with thick, wavy gray hair, Joseph
lives in a cinder-block home in Majuro, the capital, a setting
far different from the pristine atoll where she grew up.

/></p> <p>December 6, 2019</p> <p>A remote-controlled
cleaning robot sent into a damaged reactor at Japan‘s
Fukushima nuclear plant had to be removed Thursday before it
completed its work because of camera problems most likely caused
by high radiation levels.</p> <p>It was the first time a
robot has entered the chamber inside the Unit 2 reactor since a
March 2011 earthquake and tsunami critically damaged the
Fukushima Da-ichi nuclear plant.</p> <p>Tokyo Electric Power
Co. (TEPCO) said it was trying to inspect and clean a passage
before another robot does a fuller examination to assess damage
to the structure and its fuel. The second robot, known as the
“scorpion,” will also measure radiation and
temperatures.</p> <p>Thursday‘s problem underscores
the challenges in decommissioning the wrecked nuclear plant.
Inadequate cleaning, high radiation and structural damage could
limit subsequent probes, and may require more
radiation-resistant cameras and other equipment, TEPCO spokesman
Takahiro Kimoto said.</p> <p>“We will further study
(Thursday‘s) outcome before deciding on the deployment of
the scorpion,” he said.</p> <p>TEPCO needs to know the
melted fuel‘s exact location and condition and other
structural damage in each of the three wrecked reactors to
figure out the best and safest ways to remove the fuel. It is
part of the decommissioning work, which is expected to take
decades.</p> <p>The remote-controlled “cleaning”
robot, bottom, was sent in to inspect and clean a passage for
another robot in the damaged nuclear facility. (TEPCO/Associated
Press)</p> <p>During Thursday‘s cleaning mission, the
robot went only part way into a space under the core that TEPCO
wants to inspect closely. It crawled down the passage while
peeling debris with a scraper and using water spray to blow some
debris away. The dark brown deposits grew thicker and harder to
remove as the robot went further.</p> <h2>More obstacles for
second mission</h2> <p>After about two hours, the two
cameras on the robot suddenly developed a lot of noise and their
images quickly darkened — a sign of a problem caused by
high radiation. Operators of the robot pulled it out of the
chamber before completely losing control of it.</p> <p>The
outcome means the second robot will encounter more obstacles and
have less time than expected for examination on its mission,
currently planned for later this month, though Thursday‘s
results may cause a delay.</p> <p>Both of the robots are
designed to withstand up to 1,000 Sieverts of radiation. The
cleaner‘s two-hour endurance roughly matches an estimated
radiation of 650 Sieverts per hour based on noise analysis of
the images transmitted by the robot-mounted cameras.
That‘s less than one-tenth of the radiation levels inside
a running reactor, but still would kill a person almost
instantly.</p> <p>Kimoto said the noise-based radiation
analysis of the Unit 2‘s condition showed a spike in
radioactivity along a connecting bridge used to slide control
rods in and out, a sign of a nearby source of high
radioactivity, while levels were much lower in areas underneath
the core, the opposite of what would normally be the case. He
said the results are puzzling and require further
analysis.</p> <p>TEPCO officials said that despite the
dangerously high figures, radiation is not leaking outside of
the reactor.</p> <p>Images recently captured from inside the
chamber showed damage and structures coated with molten
material, possibly mixed with melted nuclear fuel, and part of a
disc platform hanging below the core that had been melted
through.</p> <p><a
