2025 #UraniumFilmFestival - Silent War - In The Shadows of #AtomicBombs

Part 1: DAWN OF THE APOCALYPSE

Part 2: NUCLEAR MIRROR WORLDS

Germany/France, 2025, Directors: Dirk van den Berg and Pascal Verroust, produced by Dirk van den Berg / OutreMer Film with ZDF & ZDF Studios, Documentary, English, 104 minutes

"80 years after the atomic bombs and the beginning of the #ColdWar, the fear of #NuclearWar is back. Does Europe need more nuclear independence today? Must we re-define nuclear deterrence? Will old and new superpowers force their will upon the rest of the world by "protecting" conventional wars with their nuclear arsenals? And, do we even have the political vocabulary for a new world order that threatens to end the long peace since the end of the last World War – or are we already in a new war?

"SILENT WAR debunks the narratives about atomic bombs, nuclear deterrence and the Cold War, in occasion of the 80th anniversary of the Hiroshima attack in 2025. SILENT WAR is based on groundbreaking research by nuclear historian Robert 'Bo'Jacobs, and his book '#NuclearBodies', acclaimed as one of the most important contributions to the history of atomic weapons and the Cold War.'

.> Because the melted nuclear cores (corium) of reactors 1, 2 & 3 at Fukushima Dai'ichi are somewhere underneath the three reactor buildings, having melted out, workers at TEPCO have been pouring cold water on the corium since the meltdowns to cool the corium. This is both to prevent spontaneous fissioning, and also to carry heat away from the mess so that it may eventually be removed sometime later in this century (the melted core of Chernobyl is still underneath the reactor, almost 40 years later, and still has not schedule for removal). All of the water used to cool the corium is then pumped into holding tanks on the grounds of the Fukushima site. Also, groundwater flows through the basements that hold the corium, and that adds to the water being pumped out....

.> Because the dumping of the tanks is a political negative for the government of Japan, a pipeline is being built so that the water can simply be dumped via underground pipe, and the theatrics of dumping the tanks into the ocean can be avoided in the future. A political solution to a problem with few mechanical solutions...

.> What else can be done? As Ken Buesseler of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution has said, the water could be moved to much larger tanks and held for up to a century, which would facilitate some further decay of the radioactivity of particles before they are released. However, this would be seen as a political negative as it would fill parts of Japan up with large holding tanks for a century, and remind everyone about the problem.
