I have blogged extensively about the nuclear disaster at Fukushima and its aftermath. I think it is very important for the world to understand all the different kinds of repercussions from the disaster. In addition to the nuclear materials that were released into the environment, there have been political impacts, economic impacts, social and psychology impacts, etc.
India has a robust civilian nuclear program in addition to its nuclear arsenal. India has not signed the international nuclear non-proliferation treaty. This raises concerns when India wants to purchase nuclear technology from other countries. There is a fear that India will convert peaceful nuclear technology to military uses in their nuclear weapons program.
I usually post Geiger readings and links to articles every day of the week and a blog essay every Monday through Friday. I have not posted anything for several days because I have been traveling. I spent this last weekend in Spokane, Washington at the Washington State Democratic Convention. Most of the time was dedicated to approving the Washington State Democratic Platform. I was quite impressed by how comprehensive, rational and progressive the Platform is.
