We can only speculate. If we take her on her word, she feels that she spoke hastily to criticize him for death threats, but after looking into his activity she was persuaded that he's a genuine and worthy activist. She does not say she now feels he did not make death threats. Whatever her...

In light of news reports following Durnford's arrest for criminal harassment, this week he received a ringing endorsement from antinuclear activist Libbe HaLevy, a #1 Amazon best-selling author and host of the weekly podcast Nuclear Hotseat. HaLevy is also a TEDx speaker. Her endorsement appears...

Right. And he's not some isolated lone nut, but a leader of a group of a few thousand dedicated followers who believe his every word and therefore who believe without a shadow of a doubt that the extinction of life on Earth is occurring due to Fukushima. Leading a group of impressionable...

Durnford made headlines last week in The Japan Times. Anti-nuclear firebrand’s case heads to Canadian court over death threats against Fukushima environmental scientists An activist who alleges a global cover-up over the extent of pollution from the Fukushima No. 1 disaster is due in court in...

As I state in the last paragraph of the original post, his online following exceeds that of Caldicott. Additionally, I could not find another antinuclear activist with a larger online following. Granted, it's not fair to say this deranged lunatic, however popular he may be, is a leader of most...

Here are threats Durnford made a few days before the police showed up, aimed not only directly at the scientists he wants dead, but also calling for "anything" from WHOI to be "put down like a rabid animal." He also admits that he'd been making death threats, a rare moment of honesty. Yet...

Durnford believes, or claims to believe, every negative video comment he deletes was funded by "nuclear PR firms." His cult believes they are in a daily pitched battle with an industry that outside their delusional world actually doesn't even know they exist. Every glitch in his live-stream...

The most popular online anti-nuclear leader, Dana Durnford, was arrested this week for criminal harassment of two scientists. Charges laid against B.C. man who called for death of Fukushima researcher A British Columbia man who posted a video calling for the death of scientists whose research...

Two weeks ago a study claiming a Fukushima thyroid-cancer epidemic made headline news. The epidemic is being associated with the nuclear disaster. However, the study may be seriously flawed. Here are two informed critiques (please post more if found)...

As well, the video cited shows how a local California ABC TV station was duped by a bogus "study" Mangano had published by a vanity publisher. So even folks who should be higher up in the BS-vetting process get duped into spreading junk-science memes.

An investigation of "studies" by the lifelong anti-nuclear activist Joseph Mangano proves they're bunk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOreFp9983I See also a recent Popular Mechanics smack down of Magano' pseudoscience.

Here's a slide presentation on the explosions of Units 1 and 3 by the Japan Nuclear Energy Safety Organization, presented on September 17, 2012 at the IAEA General Conference: http://www.aec.go.jp/jicst/NC/sitemap/pdf/P-4.pdf They opine that the Unit 3 explosion propagated upwards from a...

Right, I meant March. Could it be a photo (not video frame) you refer to? I think for safety the helicopter avoided a direct flyover, so I'm not sure they got much closer than we've seen. But you seem to be arguing that they had to know the pool wasn't dried out or close thereto, and yet to...

He's also taken the view that there was a PCV overpressure event(s) accounting for the ajar hatch plug. As much as that happily fits with my theory, how do we explain the small lightweight objects in the hatch passageway? I'd expect they should have been blown out of the passage had a huge...

At the time, it may not have been clear from the helicopter footage that the pool wasn't largely empty. It's only with the data gained over the following weeks that we could thereafter determine that there were roof girders / materials in the pool that were obscured by water on the 16th. But on...
