Anarchy & nuclear meltdown. We look at world events, speak to
Julia Tourianski about anarchy and investigate nuclear reactor accidents and potential risks for mankind. We discuss Fukushima,
Chernobyl,
3 mile island,
Windscale nuclear reactor and more.
Fukushima
There are few events in modern history that have ever been so magnanimous in importance, yet so blatantly ignored as the
Fukushima disaster. In fact, it's safe to say that there have been no other event in recorded history that has been more of an elephant in the room than the massive ejection of highly refined nuclear material into the atmosphere and around the world.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fukushima_Daiichi_nuclear_disaster
The
Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster (福島第一原子力発電所事故
Fukushima Daiichi (About this sound pronunciation) genshiryoku hatsudensho jiko?) was a nuclear disaster at the
Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant that began on 11
March 2011, resulting in a meltdown of three of the plant's six nuclear reactors.[6] The failure occurred when the plant was hit by a tsunami triggered by the magnitude 9.0
Tōhoku earthquake.[7]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_disaster
The
Chernobyl disaster (
Ukrainian: Чорнобильська катастрофа, Chornobylska Katastrofa –
Chornobyl Catastrophe; also referred as Chernobyl or the
Chornobyl accident) was a catastrophic nuclear accident that occurred on 26
April 1986 at the
Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in
Ukraine (then officially the
Ukrainian SSR).
The Chernobyl disaster was the worst nuclear power plant accident in history in terms of cost and casualties,[1] and is one of only two classified as a level 7 event (the maximum classification) on the
International Nuclear Event Scale (the other being the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster in
2011).[2] The battle to contain the contamination and avert a greater catastrophe ultimately involved over
500,
000 workers and cost an estimated 18 billion rubles.[3]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windscale_fire
The
Windscale fire of
10 October 1957 was the worst nuclear accident in
Great Britain's history, ranked in severity at level 5 on the 7-point International Nuclear Event Scale.[1] The fire took place in
Unit 1 of the two-pile Windscale facility on the northwest coast of
England in
Cumberland (now
Sellafield, Cumbria).
The fire burned for three days and there was a release of radioactive contamination that spread across the UK and
Europe.[4] Of particular concern at the time was the radioactive isotope iodine-131, which may lead to cancer of the thyroid, and it has been estimated that the incident caused 240 additional cancer cases.[4]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Mile_Island_accident
The Three Mile Island accident was a partial nuclear meltdown that occurred on March 28,
1979 in one of the two
Three Mile Island nuclear reactors in
Dauphin County, Pennsylvania,
United States. It was the worst accident in
U.S. commercial nuclear power plant history.[1]
The incident was rated a five on the seven-point International Nuclear Event Scale:
Accident With Wider
Consequences.[2][3]
The accident began with failures in the non-nuclear secondary system, followed by a stuck-open pilot-operated relief valve in the primary system, which allowed large amounts of nuclear reactor coolant to escape.

Metsamor
The modern town of Metsamor was built in
1969 to house the employees of the
Metsamor Nuclear Power Plant.
The power plant has been operating since 1969. However, it was temporarily closed in
1989 after the
1988 Spitak earthquake for safety reasons.

The State is a collection of ideas propagated and implemented not by force, but as a result of our compliance.
Human compliance occurs naturally, and like many natural resources, it can be cultivated and grown. So here we are, kept in a feedback loop of watchful prevention.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarchy
Anarchy refers to a society without a publicly enforced government.[1] Since its inception in the original ancient
Greek, anarchy has been used in the negative sense to imply political disorder or lawlessness within a society. In 1840, however,
Pierre-Joseph Proudhon adopted the term in his treatise
What Is Property? to refer to a new political philosophy, anarchism, which advocates stateless societies based on voluntary associations.
