powerfull Japan disaster

Government agency the Nuclear Regulatory taught with a focus on five scenarios, including the possibility of the earthquake on both the tsunami struck the reactor, and when assessing the nuclear safety under the title of "stress tests" What is called for inclusion in the wake of the crisis Daiichi Fukushima, government sources said Wednesday.The Agency for Nuclear Safety and industrial aims to compile the draft plan, later this week, perhaps, for how they will conduct safety assessments, which will be implemented in two phases. And another watchdog, the Commission on nuclear safety, check whether the project plan reactors appropriate.Nuclear idled for a regular check-ups will be subject for the first stage for the resumption of the process, with the study of the extent of assistance that key facilities will be able to withstand damage in the event of severe natural disasters on the scale more expected.waves of tsunami to the compound of Gush near the Unit 4 reactor at the Fukushima nuclear complex in the Dai Ichi Okuma, Fukushima prefecture, northeast of Japan.The the second phase of tests will be more comprehensive and implemented in all nuclear power plants. Based on these results, Japan's nuclear reactors that are currently in a process that can be suspended.The sources said that the first phase of the analysis may adopt a simpler method of the second stage, in a way that does not go away from what has been achieved to reduce the actual study, but whether can withstand a certain level of impact.The method called PSA uses the digital data representing all possible accidents and the frequency of earthquakes that may occur in nuclear power plants and their impact. But can not evaluate each of the five cases by method.Of five scenarios, the two remaining from the reactor when it loses power, and when you are working to take the heat from the reactor using sea water, but fails. And flooded the road leading to the compound of Dai Ichi Fukushima nuclear power plant as the tsunami struck established after the devastating earthquake in the town of Okuma, Fukushima prefecture, northeast of Japan.The stages I and II of the analysis conducted by the utilities operating nuclear power will provide plants and agency of nuclear safety, and will consider the decision of the Agency by the Nuclear Safety Commission.

Distribution infrastructure (AJK)

A senior official of the planning committee in the government is going to start a project of Rs 165.13 million for the restoration of infrastructure for the distribution of power that were damaged by the floods in 2010, heavy rains and ground sliding, and Pakistan as observers. "The main objective of the project is to restore power to areas affected by floods in the state of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK), which totally or partially damaged by the floods in July and August 2010." Sponsoring agency is the Ministry of Kashmir Affairs and Gilgit while the AJK Electricity Department is the executing agency. To overcome the damage in AJK, has developed a strategy for the construction and rehabilitation of the existing system on the basis of war damages provided through financial aid to China."The reconstruction of infrastructure for distribution in AJK reverse the devastating effects of flooding and the revival of economic activity in the regions and enable people to return to normal life, and the provision of electricity to areas that were turned into darkness because of damage to electrical and said work." This project will support the Government of AJK to achieve the target set to collect the revenue official sector.The industrial, agricultural and social Floods and heavy rains damaged the ground and sliding the line of 11KV, 0.4-volt lines, distribution transformers and other equipment in different areas of AJK. The project was designed to restore and rehabilitate the infrastructure of energy to the pre-flood level.Planning wing of the Commission's assessment and said that was not disposed of the equipment and replace the damaged material referred to. Has sponsored work on the income from the damaged equipment (transformers and columns). It was reported that wing may be provided tangible benefits after the completion of the project including the increase in revenue to the Planning Commission. He also pointed out that the sponsors did not mention the annual operating and maintenance costs and 2807000 Rs. "This project is rehabilitation rather than new projects. May justify the sponsors of the annual operating and maintenance costs, because the project is not new project, and part of the original project."

Pakistan floods update

Dumping nearly one year after devastating floods vast areas of land in various parts of Pakistan, which affects more than 20 million people, many of the survivors are still struggling to rebuild their lives in the monsoon season this year is about to rain start.The The first season of 2011 began to fall, according to the Meteorological Office, and this raises anxiety.He good reason to fear. Said Kamal Ahmed, spokesman for the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), last week, floods killed seven people in South Waziristan after heavy rains led to the houses collapsing.Early this month, the media in Islamabad that the authority had worked out a plan emergency for an emergency new floods. "NDMA following two plans to flooding, including a plan for the worst-case scenario under which they can be affected for up to six million people, and the likely scenario under which 2.2 million people could be a potential victim," as many said.But still skeptical. "My fields have been destroyed, reduced to my house of sticks of wood, and my wrist was broken while trying to save my family," said Azeemullah Khan, a village in Charsadda district. "I'm still struggling to earn a living or just put food on the table. Helped some NGOs to us at first, but then left us alone." Warned Emergency Relief Coordinator of the United Nations Valerie Amos last week, "according to officials government does not mean anything to me. families affected by floods in the need to continue to provide support to rebuild their lives. monsoon 2011, is about to start and up to two million people and once again in danger of flooding, due in part to lack of funds for reconstruction ". there is a need for significant efforts immediately to reduce the vulnerability of these families and the implementation of urgent healing and prevention of flood preparedness work on the banks of the river, and irrigation canals and other infrastructure."
"The [2010] floods had a severe impact on people's lives, homes and property," said the report of the Government's assessment: "Most people do not know when it will be able to resume their lives," and the floods, it noted, wiped out "severely damaged" about 2 per cent of the Pakistan's annual growth rate and $ 10 billion on economic infrastructure. "The flood-affected areas and was always lagging behind in terms of social and economic indicators, education, compared with areas not affected by the floods," the report said. He added that "the loss of livelihoods and infrastructure, pushing them behind the other. The people most affected are mostly small farmers and unskilled workers." At least 1,200 people died in the floods, and the second in the world in the worst 10 years, according to the center, based in Belgium for research Epidemiology of Disasters.According Amos to the UN, there is still a need for more than $ 600 million to support early recovery activities, including water wells, the rehabilitation and renewal and primary health care system and the rebuilding of schools. "I'm very concerned," said Fahin the Federal Investigation Agency official, "the lack of funds prevents the pre-positioning of necessary medical supplies, and the continued beyond July of diseases at the provincial level early warning system."
