Thinking About The End of The World

I am religious first of all. I heard the story about the signs that God will give to us prior to the end of the World. 

The U.S. is supporting the Egyptian revolt against the Mubarak government is what emerges from a document published on WikiLeaks , a site independent provider of intelligence founded by Julian Assange. The document highlights the alleged programs operated by dissident groups to overthrow the regime.

Colonel Gaddafi. According to the organization, Colonel Gaddafi could be the next pin to be knocked down by the “strike” popular Libya would “fall” under the blows of the lash violent insurgency, ignited by decades of harassment and unnecessary waste used by the regime.

Then These natural disaster and The Nuclear plant danger.

These days we are following all the news from yesterday that come from Japan on the apocalypse that hit the country. An earthquake of 8.9 occurred off a little compared to the eastern side and that has caused destruction exacerbated by the devastating fury of the Tsunami. As if they were not enough first earthquake and tsunami then, here is unleashing the alarm “radiation”. The severe nuclear reactor accident in Fukushima caused the launch of a warning by the authorities, immediate evacuation for all residents up to 20 km away from the reactor, located about 250 km from the capital Tokyo. The number of contaminated should be extremely low, but the alarming statement that all those who have found themselves after a few kilometers from the core would be “absorbed an amount equal to the amount of radiation absorbed annually limit.” Limit value which, in fact, is very very low. Good news however comes for a further danger that may occur in these cases after a few weeks after the tragedy: the availability of good drinking water (transported and distributed manually since the water supply is skipped), food (such as traditional The Onigiri, namely the famous rice balls and seaweed so dear to the authors of Japanese manga) and medicines, as well as the timely intervention of the civilian population, should obviate the risk of epidemics. Particularly affected the prefecture of Sendai and Rikuzentakata , deaths have occurred mainly because of the tsunami that created waves up to 10 meters. Dare already the first figures on the possible death: the authorities can speak of a final estimate of about fifteen thousand people.

As a means of prevention to avoid the dangers of thyroid cancer (a disease that, for example in the years following 1986 has severely affected the population of Ukrainian citizens who were a short distance from Chernobyl) the Japanese authorities are proceeding with the distribution of iodine moderate doses. Iodine atom crucial for the genesis of the hormones T3 and T4 that triiodothyronine or thyroxine and tetraiodothyronine, can be used to protect against thyroid cancer in case of exposure to radioactivity in a nuclear accident. Obviously, you may specify that it is half estimate used in this particular case of an emergency and can cause damage to the body itself, especially if iodine is supplied in excess of the needs of the gland. At present the agencies talk to three people probably exposed to radiation of the plant, as well as a dozen workers injured in the explosion which occurred this morning of the structure and destroyed the cage containment of a reactor, causing a slight leakage of radioactive cesium.

The apocalypse that hit Japan should give pause even in Italy, where for many years, maintains a firm return to nuclear power. While in Italy have never recorded earthquakes of energy and violence comparable to what happened in Japan (the earthquake happened in this case had twenty thousand times more destructive energy to the energy released by an earthquake two years ago of the Eagle), is firmly believe that to be considered a possible location of a plant in an area of ​​high seismic risk, such as large parts of Sicily and central Italy, could potentially lead to a disaster unprecedented in our country because we do not have that organization structure seismic and anticalamità that can be found in Japan. Low theoretical risk but the risk for contamination by the vapors already leaked, and especially where the situation of Japanese nuclear reactors were to fall further: according to recent calculations, the cloud would be transported by winds to the Pacific, stopping at the doors of west coasts of the United States, so can not in any way a direct cause, but it is obvious that it may still be an environmental disaster of serious concern, especially as many of the seafood consumed in low cost come from the seas of the Pacific .

Good news however comes for a further danger that may occur in these cases after a few weeks after the tragedy: the availability of good drinking water, food and medicines, as well as the timely intervention of the civilian population, should obviate the risk of epidemics . Do not avert the risk of possible tsunami due to further aftershocks that are occurring plentifully in the last two days.
