How Many Nuclear Bombs is One Reactor Meltdown ?

Criticality accidents report Since 1945 there have been 60 criticality accidents world-wide with varying levels of severity, from the most recent, a September 1999 accident in Japan that resulted in the deaths of two workers, to the very first fatal accident during the WWII Manhattan Project. All of these criticality accidents are now chronicled in a new report from the Department of Energy’s Los Alamos National Laboratory, made public today. The report, a joint effort of the United States and the Russian Federation, is the latest revision of a report first published in 1967 titled “A Review of Criticality Accidents”.

ONE NUCLEAR REACTOR MELTDOWN = 300 to 400 ATOMIC BOMBS !

It includes significant new information about accidents that occurred in the United States, Russia, the United Kingdom, Canada, France, Argentina and Japan. The report begins by separating accidents into two distinct categories: process accidents and research reactor accidents. Separating the two categories is important because of distinct differences between the two. In process accidents, administrative or physical controls are generally in place to prevent any sort of criticality, meaning that when criticality occurs it is wholly unwanted and unexpected.

In research reactor accidents, some measure of criticality is purposely achieved, usually during experimentation, and ends up getting out of control somehow. One of the report’s principal authors, Thomas McLaughlin, of the Laboratory’s Nuclear Criticality Safety group, says the report serves not only to reconstruct criticality accidents but to also offer information central to the prevention of accidents and the most effective response should an accident occur.

“The most important sections of the report deal with observations and lessons learned from process criticality accidents,” said McLaughlin. “All criticality accidents are dominated by design, managerial and operational failure, it’s important that these issues be the focus for accident prevention.” A criticality accident occurs when the minimum amount of fissile material required to sustain a chain reaction is accidentally brought together.

For example, when the nucleus of Uranium-235 disintegrates, two or three neutrons are released, and each is capable of causing another nucleus to disintegrate. However, if the total mass of the U-235 is insufficient to sustain a chain reaction, the neutrons simply escape. In most criticality accidents this chain reaction is very short lived, causing a neutron population spike and resultant radiation, heat and, in many cases, an ethereal “blue flash,” a phenomenon of the air surrounding a neutron burst becoming ionized and giving off a flash of blue light.

The first-ever criticality accident resulting in a fatality occurred at Los Alamos’ Omega Site on Aug. 21, 1945, and involved a 6.2-kilogram nickel-plated plutonium sphere and neutron-reflecting tungsten-carbide blocks. A critical assembly was created accidentally while the reflecting-blocks were stacked around the Pu sphere. The lone experimenter, Harry Daghlian, while moving a block in order to take a measurement had the block slip and drop onto the center of the assembly, causing a “superprompt” criticality event. Daghlian removed the dropped block by hand to stop the chain reaction and in doing so received a radiation dose estimated at 510 rem.

He died 28 days later. The vast majority of accidents do not result in death, but there have been 21 fatalities from criticality accidents since 1945. Nine of these fatalities were due to process accidents, and 12 resulted from research reactor accidents, according to the report. Of the 21 deaths, seven occurred in the United States, 10 in the Soviet Union, two in Japan, and one each in Yugoslavia and Argentina.

There have been no accidents involving the transportation or storage of fissile materials. Only one accident, at the JCO Fuel Fabrication Plant in Tokimura, Japan, resulted in measurable exposures to members of the public, and these were well below allowable annual exposures to workers. The report, originally scheduled for publication near the end of 1999, was held until now in order to add information from the process accident in Japan. “We felt it was very important to wait until we had the facts from this latest event so they could be added to this new revision,” said McLaughlin. “The entire team working on this report wanted to make sure that it was a comprehensive as possible and contained the most up-to-date information.” In addition to McLaughlin, the report’s authors are Shean Monahan of LANL, Norman Pruvost of Galaxy Computer Services, Inc., and Vladimir V. Frolov, Boris G. Ryazanov and Victor I. Sviridov all of the Institute of Physics and Power Engineering in Obninsk, Russia.

Russia Plans Invasion United States

Russia Plans Invasion United States

Some of the Prophecies of Our Lady of the Roses are fast becoming a reality. On March 26, 1983 Our Lady warned, “Russia plans to invade the United States with missiles”. The term “missile” is commonly associated with the much larger ICBM’s and submarine ballistic nuclear missiles. Yet if the term also refers to portable nuclear devices and “briefcase nukes”, this prophecy of Our Lady now appears to be explained and approaching fulfillment.

Threats of nuclear terrorism

One of the latest articles : Apr 11, 2010 – Obama says Nuclear terrorism is the single biggest threat to U.S. In the past there where threats from terrorist bin Laden, and growing evidence that “suitcase nukes” are in the hands of terrorist organizations, may indicate the approaching fulfillment of two Our Lady of the Roses prophecies that Russia plans to invade the United States with “missiles” and a prophetic vision given to Veronica on March 26, 1983 of a nuclear warhead in an abandoned New York City subway tunnel.

KGB defector testifies before Congress In a Congressional hearing in 2000

KGB defector Colonel Stanislav Lunev testified to the presence of small briefcase-sized nuclear devices that have been smuggled into the United States, awaiting a future date when they will be used by KGB agents. Following are excepts as taken from Newsmax, January 25, 2000: Los Angeles – Stanislav Lunev, the highest-ranking Soviet spy ever to defect, warned members of Congress Monday a pre-emptive nuclear strike by Russia on American soil is a real possibility.

At a House Committee on Government Reform hearing here, the one-time colonel in Soviet and then Russian Federation military intelligence, gave a chilling presentation of his country’s Cold War plans to defeat the United States. Under federal witness protection, Lunev was escorted into the hearing room with a black bag covering his head. From behind a screen to shield him from the view of the audience, Lunev testified Soviet generals had designed a special plan for the future war against America and its allies in which special-operation forces commanders would come to the United States and other NATO countries a few days, maybe even a few hours before actual war. Lunev said one of his espionage assignments had been to scout “drop sites” for weapons caches.

He said he believes Russian military weapons are currently hidden in strategic points all across the United States and Europe for just such a purpose. Those hidden stockpiles of weapons would include portable nuclear devices, chemical and biological weapons, conventional weapons and incendiary devices, he said. Lunev told the panel the weapon caches could be used whenever the Russian commanders in charge are given the “go”.

“Ex-spy fears sneak Russian attack”

Stephan Archer (January 25, 2000) 60 Minutes – TV interview of Russian General Lebed General Alexander Lebed was for a short time the chairman of the Russian Security Council and Boris Yeltsin’s senior national security adviser. Lebed revealed on CBS’s 60 Minutes broadcast on September 7, 1997 that Russia had built small, portable nuclear bombs called “Special Atomic Demolition Munitions” that are designed for sabotage, and are truly nuclear “first strike” weapons that would be used at the outbreak of nuclear war by saboteurs.

During Lebed’s short time in power, he ordered the Russian military to make an accounting of these weapons. According to Lebed, “more than a hundred” of the briefcase-sized nuclear devices are missing. He also warned : Can you imagine what would happen psychologically, morally, if this weapon is detonated in a big city ? No government would want to see such a situation. About 50,000 to 70,000, up to 100,000 people would be killed.

Prophecy : My child, the last time We spoke to you, We told you that there was a far greater message to be given to mankind. This is the message: That Russia plans to invade the United States with missiles. There is much that you don’t know, my poor children, or perhaps some think it best that you don’t know what is happening within your governments. Many of the newspapers and other means of relaying this to you have been silenced.

But I, as your Mother, beg intercession through Jesus to the Eternal Father and the Holy Ghost to spare you these terrible punishments. If there is a need for more victim souls, let them be satisfied to know that they have been warned. My child, I know this has been a complete shock to you, but this message must go throughout the world. Awaken those who sleep before it is too late.” (Our Lady, March 26, 1983).

JERUSALEM COUNTDOWN – The Attack on Iran !

JERUSALEM COUNTDOWN – The Attack on Iran !

The attack on Iran is near, insider information tells that the conflict between Israel and Hammaz is started by Israel on purpose. At this moment 7 times the amount of reservists Israel used in the 2008 conflict is called to get ready, troops are surounding Gaza but not in the news yet they also placed troops at the borders with West Bank, Lebanon and Syria. Israel has started this operation because when they strike Iran (could happen within weeks from now), Hezbollah and other terror organisations will not have the power to retaliate anymore. A ground offensive could be ordered at any moment but is not needed, it is important to have all Israel troops ready.

The US knows about the coming strike (According the insider), the US ordered 3 ships to return to Israel Area today to evacuate US people and this is not happening because of the few rockets from Hammaz. They fear a massive rocket attack from Iran the moments after the Israely strike ! Also the operation on Gaza tested the “Iron Dome” anti rocket system, 80 to 85 % of Hammaz rockets where destroyed in flight, according the source over 90 % of the missiles from Iran will be destroyed before impact because Israel has more time to intercept them.

According the insider information Israel is concerned about what will happen in Syria, they expect Syria to turn against Israel. Also according the source over 100.000 reserve troops are called already for the defense of Israel in what insiders call the largest war Israel will ever face. At this time Israel is thinking about striking targets in Syria and Lebanon just before or after the attack on Iran, also they have F-16 on standby to strike targets in the Sinai desert (Egypt). According the secret source US diplomats are in Cairo at this moment to start talks with Egypt the moment the Iran strike starts. S-Arabia is informed about the attack on Iran and moved troops to the Northern and Eastern borders. So don’t be surprised if “peace” is coming in the days ahead, most important targets in Gaza are destroyed and troops are ready… If i get more news about this i will post it asap and ps : Sorry for my English 😉
