Two other reactors restart in Japan Despite public opinion in Japan is worried about the safety of nuclear installations in the country the authorities would decide to restart another two reactors in Saga Prefecture after the 2011 disaster in Fukushima that led to the shutdown of all plants, the other two reactors already restarted are at Sendai in Kagoshima Prefecture and at Ikata in Ehime Prefecture. There are also a couple of plants at Takahama in Fukui Prefecture that were restarted last year, but later were turned off by the court for security issues. Some point out how little is learned from the lection about the danger related to strong earthquakes occurring at the Kumamoto Prefecture in April 2016, then there would also be problems related to corrosion detected in some ventilation pipes (all near the sea) caused by salt. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jan 20, 2017 ![]() ![]() Safety belt indispensable in crash From the story of a flight technician survived to the crash of the plane without fuel that flew from Sao Paolo in Brazil to Medellin in Colombia showed that passengers panicked they unbuckle the seatbelt and started screaming and crying not observing safety procedures that involve holding well fasten the seatbelts tighten between the legs and chest a bag and to prepare for the impact keep calm. Maybe by taking this simple trick the balance of the plane crash, seventy-one victims and six survivors, would have been less severe and in any case a minimum preparedness when travelling is always useful, for example in order to prepare to the crash to do deep and slow breaths, then over to pray can try as much as possible to distract the mind by focusing on a point or on with a fantasy tranquilizer image. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Dec 02, 2016 n°: 3318 ![]() Train wreck in India perhaps avoidable Have not yet been clarified the reasons that caused the derailment of some carriages of a train in India in the Uttar Pradesh with a tragic balance of over one hundred twenty victims and two hundred wounded of which seventy-six in critical condition, but would have the testimony of a passenger fell before the accident that said he heard a strange noise coming from the wheels of the carriage in which he was travelling (S2 then shifting) and have warned an official of the railways that would not have taken very seriously the complaint. There is also talk of a breakup or a failure on the tracks, but the engine is not shifting while the carriages S2, S3, S3, S4 and AC are shifting; then the passenger might be right. Relief efforts are still looking for victims among the sheets curled up, then regarding the safety of railways in India this is a serious problem given the high number of accidents recorded. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Nov 21, 2016 n°: 3308 ![]() Fire in unsafe hospital in India Would be at least twenty-two the victims of a fire that broke out in a hospital at Bhubaneswar in India that has trapped almost five hundred people inside the hospital without being able to move; some complained that there was no automatic fire-fighting equipment, the security was poor so several patients have died invested from the flames and others asphyxiated. The fire initially developed in the dialysis department being propagated quickly to other departments, then the hospital staff with the help of volunteers and firefighters tried to rescue as many people as possible by breaking the glass of the windows, while the police is trying to find out the causes of the fire. To be reported completely changing topic but staying on issues concerning security that has been found that the China tap water maybe contains a potentially carcinogenic substance (NDMA) beyond the limits. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Oct 18, 2016 n°: 3280 ![]() Radiation levels monitored in cattle in Fukushima Farmers who had head of cattle in the area of Fukushima nuclear disaster often did not want to kill the animals, considered as family members, obeying to the government order since the radioactivity in this area is about fifteen times higher than reference values considered safe and continue to feed them regularly, but is proceed also to check every three months for what could be the first study of the impact on large mammals of prolonged exposure at low levels of radiation within twenty kilometers from where three reactors have melted. In particular the checks were carried out on a farm twelve kilometers away from nuclear power plants and since there being no previous studies it is difficult to value the data collected and assess if the livestock is dying from radiation; then will need to conduct additional monitoring. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Sep 23, 2016 n°: 3258 ![]() Incident on single track with no automatism in Italy Due to the lack of automatic systems for railway signalling and blocking two trains in Puglia clashed head-on on a single track between Corato and Andria in the Bari province, is speak of at least twenty-seven victims and fifty wounded including several in serious condition while still looking among the wreckage of the trains horribly shrunken. Was already planning to double the tracks, but for bureaucratic issues has not proceeded to start building sites of work as is often the case in the South of the country where in certain stretches of railway lines traveling old trains with low speed even though in this particular case it was modern models who were traveling at more than one hundred kilometers per hour. It seems that the green signal has been provided with the telephone and traffic lights, evidently mistaken; then the accident occurred in bend between olive groves, then the drivers have not had even a chance to brake. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jul 13, 2016 n°: 3197 ![]() Toxic pollution in the Doce River in Brazil Iron and manganese levels monitored in the River in southeastern Brazil Doce where eight months ago have taken the debris of an iron mine due to the failure of a dam would be well above safe limits, and the population of one million and six thousand people living along the river banks need of drinking water, then in addition to a public health problem there would also be a crisis of confidence about the management of what is considered the worst environmental disaster in the Brazil history. The lack of rain aggravated the situation because the rivers are used in place of Rio Doce to quench the population are dry; moreover a lesser intake of water can mean a higher concentration of toxic pollutants. It is not excluded that in the future there may be other disasters of this type with deteriorate over the time of other industrial structures, as happened at this dam. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jul 07, 2016 n°: 3192 ![]() Hidden information about the Fukushima disaster The authorities that manage the Fukushima nuclear plant argue that hide information about the disaster happened five years ago at the station with the merger of three reactors and the resulting huge radioactive leak into the atmosphere and at sea has been a government decision. There were pressures apparently about how to handle the situation by communicating to the public for two months instead of core meltdowns a core damage (a decision defined as regrettable with one important difference about the severity of the event considering possible decisions by other countries to take measures to deal with radioactive pollution), with the sea water contaminated in an uncontrolled manner. Lately has been reported a blackout of the cooling system of the icy wall that contains the leaks of radioactive water but without picking up of the radioactive levels monitored. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jun 29, 2016 n°: 3185 ![]() Fukushima children fall ill for thyroid cancer Despite the authorities seek to scale back the size of the health issue apparently the children of Fukushima prefecture get sick of thyroid cancer as a percentage from twenty to fifty times higher than the national average monitored in 2014 and then three years after the nuclear accident. Would be one hundred and sixty teenagers diagnosed with thyroid cancer including suspected cases, showing that the number has been increasing over the time. Some also argue that the Japanese Government would not have sufficient stocks of iodine tablets medicines stored, useful to absorb radiation in the human body, that the radiation levels taken from volunteers near the Fukushima Daiichi would be eight to ten times higher than the official values, then was unprecedented for the oceans the huge of amount of radioactive cesium released in the sea. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: May 25, 2016 n°: 3155 ![]() A disastrous fire in a Canada town The authorities were forced to evacuate most of the inhabitants of the city of Fort McMurray, which is located in the province of Alberta in Canada, due to a fire that broke out in the southwest of the city on Sunday and escaped from the control for cause of the strong wind that still continues to fuel for days the flames that are reaching even the oil rigs that were evacuated but could pose a danger because they are stockpiled large supplies of crude oil. Teams of firefighters are committed to intervene in a very difficult situation among dense clouds of smoke they flames fed by for example have destroyed eighty percent of the houses in the suburb of Beacon Hill. To report changing the subject but staying on the topic of safety to be reported in recent days, the derailment of nine wagons of a train at Washington that carrying dangerous substances. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: May 05, 2016 n°: 3138 ![]() Security and health * The author doesn't assume some kind of responsibility for the bad use of the articles councils (all rights are reserved) |
