Back in August, a horrific explosion at a chemical storage facility in the Chinese port of Tianjin killed more than a hundred people and dispersed an unknown amount of toxic sodium cyanide into the air and water.
Despite officials’ best efforts to play down the environmental impact, a series of “unexplained” events occurred in the days and weeks following the tragedy including a massive fish die-off and the appearance of an eerie white foam on the streets following a thunderstorm.
Beijing promised a thorough investigation and unsurprisingly, there were questions as to the warehouse’s owners had ties to the Party and if so, whether those ties helped to explain why the amount of sodium cyanide in storage was orders of magnitude greater than what’s allowed by law.
The blast itself was described by some as akin to a nuclear explosion and indeed, the footage backs up that assessment:
Well don’t look now, but China is set to take it up a notch when it comes to creating the conditions for a “nuclear” disaster because as World Nuclear News reports, Beijing is now all set to build a portable, floating nuclear reactor. Here’s more:
China General Nuclear (CGN) expects to complete construction of a demonstration small modular offshore multi-purpose reactor by 2020, the company announced.
The 200 MWt (60 MWe) reactor has been developed for the supply of electricity, heat and desalination and could be used on islands or in coastal areas, or for offshore oil and gas exploration, according to CGN.
CGN said the development of small-scale offshore and onshore nuclear power reactors will complement its large-scale plants and provide more diverse energy options.
The only floating nuclear power plant today is the Akademik Lomonosov, under construction in Russia, where two 35 MWe reactors similar to those used to propel ships are being mounted on a barge to be moored at a harbour. The Baltiysky Zavod in St Petersburg is on schedule to deliver the first floating nuclear power plant to its customer, Russian nuclear power plant operator Rosenergoatom, in September 2016. It could start operating in Chukotka as early as in 2017.
Here’s an artists’ impression of what this disaster-waiting-to-happen will look like once complete:
Of course CGN is an SOE which means if and when something does go horribly wrong, there will be no transparency and no accountability whatsoever.
Check back in 2021 to find out what happens when a nuclear reactor melts down in the middle of the ocean.
Until then, we’ll leave you with one final quote from CGN – make a mental note of the bolded passage:
Floating plants offer various advantages: construction in a factory or shipyard should bring efficiencies; siting is simplified; environmental impact is extremely low; and decommissioning can take place at a specialised facility.

Take no notice of all this anti-nuclear propaganda pushed by various media sources both mainstream and alternative. I’ve seen today Zeusian attacks on both Russia and China’s nuclear programs . The Zeusians absolutely hate nuclear energy as it can propell mankind well into the future and not only that it can be improved on further. The goal of the Zeusian is the complete domination of a degenerate mankind hindered by false mathematical based pseudo-science mixed with bad education and brain/body dysfunction. Nuclear energy has the potential to do for the world’s population what coal and other energy methods did, first starting with fire. Zeusians don’t want to increase the energy flux density and instead they want to decrease it and destroy fifty percent of the global population by 2050 and then a further thirty-five percent of the survivors by 2100. The Prometheans are the complete opposite of the Zeusians and instead the followers of Prometheus desire an increase in the energy flux density and the uplifting of mankind on a global scale utilizing nuclear energies and development along with a new payment system but not a monetary system as you know of today. As you can tell both Russia and China are currently run by followers of Prometheus. Qaddafi and many others have all been Prometheans attempting to bring about major changes in the world and rid the planet of the followers of Zeus/Kronos and the slavery that comes with it. China’s explosions have all been about Zeusian sabotage and not incompetence and the same goes for the Fukushima disaster but on a much grander scale.
