Where do I go to find wikileaks docs?

[jannyk]

CBCTV Canada just said there is a wikileaks paper detailing that the Fukushima Plant was told by the Safety Commission that it did not meet required standards.

I want to find this doc - how/where? Thx

1. I saw a thread about that wikileaks info on here earlier today.

You can find a lot of wikileaks stuff on a torrent site.

4. As I understand it, the GE Mk-1 BWR designs were certified and de-certified

in a relatively short span as the inherent safety risks were realized. (The waste cooling pool adjacent to and above the active core? Hello??? That's cheap and downright stupid, as recent events have illustrated.) Unfortunately many were approved, as this was all during a peak period of nuke-plant building.

I'm not sure you need a "wikileak" to get this information, as it was already available to me on the conventional wiki. If it's specific to the Japanese plant, then I'm not sure. I am only sure that this is known as an unsafe design.

There are 23 of these Mark-1 death traps running in the United States, including one 40 miles NW of me, in Monticello, MN. To the great credit of the fine men and women who operate this plant, they have a near-perfect safety record, save for one equipment failure that caused an emergency shutdown in 2007. They tell us no radioactive elements were released. It's still very disturbing that it was granted a 20 year operating license extension knowing even what we did at that time. My biggest hope is that the crew can keep it from overheating for the next 20 years, because apparently once one of these things gets hot enough to make hydrogen, ka-BOOM!
