Zero Hedge
April 6, 2011

For those wondering just why TEPCO and Japan in general have been in such as scramble to cover up as much of the reactor in a concrete sarcophagus, after up until now the utility had been perfectly happy to come up with one after another useless idea of delaying the inevitable moment of sarcophagation, here is Arnie Gunderson from Fairewinds and Associates explaining that now there is definitive proof, courtesy of Tellurium 129 and a order of magnitude higher concentration of Iodine 131 in Reactor 1, that the reactor is now undergoing sporadic events of recriticality: in other words, the fission reaction is recommencing on its own, and without any supervision, emitting undetectable neutron beams which are irradiating any and all personnel still on location. For the time being these recritical events are isolated, although courtesy of the whole premise behind a nuclear power plant, all it takes is for some form of critical threshold to be reached, and for a full blown self-sustaining chain reaction to result in Chernobyl part 2. If nothing else, we now know why the authorities are desperate to bury everything literally under the sand. Because at least a few thousands tons of concrete will provide a modest buffer for unprecedented amount of radiation before these hit the surrounding environment. Lastly, all those hoping that natural rod cooling is sufficient, and if the plant is left along long enough on its own, things will get better, are now proven wrong. We can only hope the outcome this time will be a tad more favorable than all the previously disastrously aborted attempts at restoring order.

Riksbankens fräcka 50-öreskupp

Uppdaterad 2011-04-01 07:47

I går torsdag, den 31 mars, var sista dagen att växla in 50-öringar.
Men skenande kopparpriser gör att Riksbanken säljer vidare mynten – för 62 öre styck.

Detta lär ju vara ett april skämt men det finns en jävla massa fakta i det iafl.

Ja råvaru priserna skenar ju nu. Och man kan just nu sälja en 50öringar från 1942-1961 kan man sälja för ~14kr tack vare att dem har en del silver i sig.

Koppar är dock inte lika mycket värt som silver men koppar priset ökar stadigt.
Fast att säga att koppar priset ökar är en lögn, det är köpkraften på pengarna som sjunker om vi ska vara petiga. Men resultatet blir det samma. Vi kallar detta fenomen för: INFLATION.

Om man vet hur mycket koppar det finns i en 50 öring och kollar koppar priset så kan man lätt ta reda på om detta är sant eller falskt. Men det lämnar jag åt andra. Jag har själv sparat mina 50öringar!
