uma série de falhas de equipamentos da Central Nuclear de Fukushima 1, no Japão, e de lançamentos de materiais radioativos no ambiente, em consequência dos danos causados pelo sismo de Tōhoku, seguido de tsunami, que ocorreu em 11 de março de 2011.
Given the March 2011 Japan earthquake, what kind of air pollution pr.pdffootstatus
Given the March 2011 Japan earthquake, what kind of air pollution problems has developed
from it? Has this incident changed your views on nuclear energy as a viable energy source to
help to reduce current air pollution problems? Explain.
Solution
On the 11th March 2011, a magnitude nine Richter earthquakes hit the northeast coast of Japan
and is followed tsunami caused massive and irremediable damage to the nuclear reactors of
Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant, which caused releasing of harmful radiation elements and
substances into the environment. Since then, many experts, government officers, professionals in
related spheres and journalists from numerous countries had been talking about the impact and
results of these radiation leakages on environment and public health in Japan.
In this article, the author would like to focus on the next aspects, which on his opinion are most
urgent for present time: environment and industry, environment and agriculture, marine
environment and radiation expose, public health and radiation expose.
The disaster wrought devastation from Aomori prefecture in the north to Chiba prefecture in the
south, which located only about 35 km east of Tokyo. The results of earthquake and tsunami are
terrible:
The International Nuclear Event Scale (INES) gave the highest level on seriousness of nuclear
accident on Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant “ level 7, the same as the Chernobyl nuclear disaster
in 1986
In Ibaraki prefecture, Kashima city, which serve as the home for the largest number of
petrochemical hard industrial complexes in Japan, also suffered from earthquake and tsunami
damage. There located Mitsubishi chemical plant “ one of the largest Japan’s chemicals
manufactures, Adeka company plant, Shin-Etsu chemical plant, Sumitomo metal plant, Asahi
glass plant and many others which produce chemicals and various types of materials used in
building construction.Due to catastrophic tsunami, they were wiped out a strip of coast
supporting construction and a wide range of industries capacity. For example, the Iwate
prefecture sea cost has many fishing communities, cement and plywood productions which were
affected by tsunami. The Miyage prefecture coastline had approximately 1,000 different
manufactures, one of them is refinery plant located in Sendai with 145,000 barrel oil capacity per
day. Marine products processing plants and rice farms in the Sendai area, which according to one
data, provide approximately 8% of Japan’s rice production, as well as Fukushima’s chemical
plants and fishery industries, have also been affected greatly.
Also, in the affected territories there located some capacity of companies, including famous
companies such as Canon, Fujitsu, Honda, Nissan, Panasonic, Sony and others. According to the
reports from the Japanese Ministry of the Environment, Ministry of Economy, Trade and
Industry, Fire and Disaster Management Agency, harmful chemicals were leaked out to the
environment from these plants, includin.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

6. Solutions
Solutions made in the power plant
-Cores were installed with automated cooling systems within 3 months after the disaster
-Building was protected from storms and heavy rainfall
-New xenon gas (common product of uranium fission) detectors were installed
-Filters that reduce the amount of contaminants escaping into area and atmosphere
-Cement that prevents contaminants from getting accidentally into the Pacific Ocean
7. International reaction
After the nuclear disaster energy companies who used nuclear power their share
prices have been decreased
Instead companies who use renewable energy their share price have been
increased
