Fukushima Rod Removal

"It's a slow process that will take more than a year, and there are still three other reactors to go," he says. TEPCO plans to remove unused fuel rods first and then the spent fuel. According to , 1,331 spent rods and 202 unused rods will be removed when the operation is complete. "People move these fuel bundles around all the time during normal operations at a nuclear power plant," says Brumfiel. "But this is not a normal situation — this is a plant that's been heavily damaged. There's also a fear that one of these casks might get dropped, say during an earthquake." http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2013/11/18/245993401/first-fuel-rods-plucked-from-tsunami-damaged-fukushima-plant

According to Reuters, the wrecked Fukushima nuclear plant was undamaged by the earthquake early on Saturday, October 26.

Declaration of 'We the People'

Let it be known that We the People of this land commonly known as CANADA, stand in recognition of the true principle that whenever a government abandons the purpose for which we have created it and even becomes hostile towards that which it was once a defender of, it is no longer a fit steward of the political power that is inherent in the people and lent to this government with strict conditions. These conditions are defined in the Canadian Bill of Rights, Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the Constitution Act of 1982. Furthermore, to the extent that our government violates these conditions, they nullify their own authority. At which point it is our right and duty to entrust this power to new stewards who will not depart from the laws that we have give them. This being the case let it be known; that should our government seek to tax, restrict or otherwise impose on any of the rights that should not be infringed, thus impairing our ability to exercise our God given rights to life, liberty, property and defend against such impairments, which precedes all human legislation and is superior to it, that the duty of us good and faithful people will not be to obey them but to alter or abolish them and institute new governments laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form as to us shall seem most likely to affect our safety and happiness.
