Astounding Revelations about the Port Orford Meteorite

Cosmochemical studies and dynamical models of hit-and-run planetary collisions suggest a new origin for the stony-iron meteorites called pallasites.

(SALEM) - Coveted, analyzed, eulogized, and resurrected, the Port Orford Meteorite is the nucleus of one of Oregon’s classic stories of unclaimed wealth.

As both a historical curiosity and gem-laden pallasite meteorite, it would be considered priceless. The legend endures because of enigmatic artifacts from the past, like the talismans of Neahkahnie Mountain or the huge gold nuggets of the Blue Bucket Mine.

Volcano of Lo Plus

Once the scientists revert to the established scientific methodology of basing their theories on proven science facts instead of their basic beliefs, many of the mysteries of the universe will be resolved.

(SAN DIEGO) - In a Sept. 30, 1998 UCSD television program titled: “The Moon of Jupiter”, pictures taken in 1997 were shown. One picture was of the moon Io with one half of the moon in daylight and one half in darkness.

The picture was taken to look at the surface details but when they stretched out the image to bring out the faint details, they realized these volcanic eruptions also glow faintly like fluorescent lights.

Fukushima Daiichi Site: Cesium-137 Is 200 Times Greater Than At Chernobyl Accident

Begins with Urgent Request on UN Intervention to Stabilize the Fukushima Unit 4 Spent Nuclear Fuel

(WASHINGTON DC) - I believe the team at NaturalNews said it well: "The news you are about to read puts everything else in the category of 'insignificant' by comparison".

Experts have revealed that Fukushima reactor No. 4 is on the verge of a catastrophic failure that could unleash enough radiation to end human civilization on our planet.

Reporting by Fukushima Local Newspaper: Root Cause of the Fukushima Accident

Head in the sand?

(FUKUSHIMA Prefecture) - Fukushima Minpo, the local Fukushima paper, has a very interesting series on the background of the Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant accident.

Looking back 10, 20 years or more, the paper tries to identify the root cause of the accident on the local level, on the prefectural level, and the national level through the eyes of the local or prefectural government.

Reactor Reax - Stories About Nuclear Power and its Associated Hazards

Stories question the safety and future of nuclear power.

(WASHINGTON DC) - In this week's 'Reactor Reax', payments to the nuclear industry are waging a divisive voice in many states.

Reactors may be growing smaller, but smaller nuclear reactors are raising questions over cost, and The National Interest looks at 'The Steep Path to a Nuclear Future'.

Treatments for Nuclear Contamination

Dr. Mark Sircus, says it is unclear how far the impact of a meltdown might reach. In the US, communities plan for evacuation typically within 10 miles of a nuclear plant.

(TASMANIA, Aust) - It is too early to call everyone in North America to prepare for a radiation cloud streaming down radioactive particles from the accident in Japan.

According to the media and government, America is not at risk due to radioactive fallout from the recent Japanese nuclear accidents in several reactors but that could change in a heartbeat as authorities race to combat the threat of multiple nuclear reactor meltdowns.

Reactor Reax Top Stories - The Nukes of Hazard: Nuclear Power Remains Too Costly

The latest stories about nuclear power and danger.

(WASHINGTON DC) - In this week's roundup of nuclear-related stories and developments from around the globe, we learn that senators are calling for an end to the US nuclear industry welfare program.

Authors of a new report call proposed nuclear plants 'the poster child' of failing, expensive power projects.

AMA Urges Support of Bill Requiring EPA to seek Independent Scientific Analysis on the Effects of 15 Percent Ethanol

News from the American Motorcycle Association.

(WASHINGTON DC) - The American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) sent a letter to U.S. House Speaker John Boehner urging the House to consider H.R. 3199.

This bill would require the EPA to seek independent scientific analysis on the effects of E15 gasoline as soon as possible.

After Tour of Fukushima Nuclear Power Station, Wyden Says Situation Worse than Reported

Urges Japanese Ambassador to Accept International Help to Mitigate Continued Nuclear Risks.

(FUKUSHIMA Prefecture) - After tourin what remains of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear facilities, U.S. Senator Ron Wyden sent a letter to Japanese Ambassador Ichiro Fujisaki looking for ways to advance and support clean-up and recovery efforts.

Wyden’s principal concern is the relocation of spent fuel rods currently being stored in unsound structures immediately adjacent to the ocean.

Sun Tornadoes?

The repelling characteristics of magnetic fields of like polarity have been known for decades. The introduction of a fifth force is not necessary.

(SAN DIEGO) - On March 29, 2012 ABC News played a video of a tornado on the Sun and reported the tornado was “Five times wider than the size of Earth with wind spinning at 186,000 miles per hour.”

I don’t believe anyone would try to say that this tornado on the Sun was the result of warm moist air colliding with cold air as they explain the tornadoes on Earth.
