Fukushima remains an unsolved technical threat to us all. A M8 earthquake alert has been issued by two Japanese government agencies.
“Another earthquake 8.0 or higher at Fukushima-Daiichi could topple the spent fuel pool sitting 100 feet in the air on top of the damaged building of Unit 4. This would start an unquenchable nuclear fire, forcing evacuation of the entire site. Within a week or two the other 3 reactors would heat up and explode. The resulting release of radioactivity would equal between 40 and 85 Chernobyls, which, according to some sources would be enough to (cause sufficient deadly cancers to) render Japan, the U.S. west coast, and perhaps the Northern Hemisphere uninhabitable.” Carol Wolman M.D. See FUKUSHIMA, A NEW FIX by W.

Should I take the opposite view as you normally do? My belief is that mankind will eventually find ways and means to destroy all life as we know it. We are almost at this level now. The only question is whether these means will be used. That is where the nature of the mind and its irrational features become important. Will the leaders be able to control insanity in the population effectively or will these leaders be insane themselves? People in the US are now trying to find ways to control the insanity that occurs on a small but growing scale, which shows itself most vividly when schools are shot up. How do we control the insanity that the suicide bomber exhibits by exploding car bombs in the heart of a city? Where does the insanity of leaders in North Korea end? Now, as you note, drones may give everyone a tool to gum up the works.

I do not see the logic of that! That is like saying we have survived countless wars, so why should we worry about a full-scale nuclear war? In 1914 people said war is war, machine guns will not make much difference, and valor will win the day just as it always has. They were wrong. 9 million soldiers were killed. Valor made no difference in the face of artillery and poison gas. Technology can profoundly affect the nature of war, or domestic violence, for that matter. Suppose those autonomous little cold fusion powered robot killing machines I have predicted become possible. Suppose they become very cheap and reliable. Anyone, anywhere will be able to murder anyone else. I mean anyone anywhere in the world, without getting caught, and without leaving a trace of evidence. Think about that if you want a case of the heebee jeebees! Think of all the people who want to kill political leaders. Or the jihadists who have it in for authors such as Rusdie, and film makers. Or any disgruntled ex-husband, or some nut who has it in for one group or another: homosexuals, black people, Catholic School girls . . . I can think of many other nightmare scenarios. I put a few in my book. I left out some, too. I do not think cold fusion can easily be used to make small nuclear bombs. But if it can, it might lead to worst catastrophe in human history. I have been aware of this for a long time. I discussed it with Martin Fleischmann and others. As I said, we have been thinking about ways to deal with the problem. There may not be any good way! - Jed
