(Reuters) - Germany is easing its opposition to a bigger Euro bailout fund, smoothing the way for the world's leading economies to secure nearly $2 trillion (1.25 trillion pounds) in firepower to prevent further fallout from the euro-zone's sovereign debt crisis.

Mexico City: This weekend meeting, finance leaders from Grp of 20 are trying to build up massive international resources by the end of April to convince financial mkts they can prevent the euro-zone's deep problems from inflicting more damage on a still-fragile world recovery.

Since 2008 when the G20 mustered $1 trillion to rescue the world economy from the credit crisis, which blew up in the U.S. and caused the worst recession since the 1930s. It would mark their boldest efforts.

They are demanding Euro build up its war chest 1st and other G20 countries would contribute extra money to the IMF. As Europe's richest economy, Germany's support for a larger European fund is critical.

Bigger Euro fund is a condition for major non-European economies before they lend more money to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to provide an even bigger wall of cash to fight the crisis that has already claimed three euro debtor countries and now threatens the much bigger economies of Italy and Spain.

" I would not bet on a positive outcome by the end of the March 1-2 summit," one euro zone official said. " German opposition to a deal is still very strong."

Euro zone leaders are set to review the 500 billion euro ($675 billion) limit on the joint lending capacity of their temporary and permanent bailout funds, known by their acronyms EFSF and ESM, at the March 1-2 summit.

" Govt can take on as much debt as it likes ($5.0 trillion and counting since President Obama took office), central bank can increase the money supply as much it wants (an increase of about $2.0 trillion since the credit crisis began). But too much debt and too much money printing always lead to rapid inflation and higher interest rates.

According to Lynas, the AELB will meet on January 30 to decide on whether to issue a pre-operating licence which will be followed by a full licence within two years if the plant meets safety requirements outlined in its application. Lynas is anticipating a windfall of RM8 billion a year from 2013 onwards.

Meantime, disposing of radioactive waste on an uninhabited island would be the most expensive option for Lynas Corp if the Australian miner’s plans to reprocess residue from its RM2.5 billion rare earth plant in Kuantan fails.

Japan Earthquake: Tokyo residents fear the big one

Rokkasho would consume 80% of Japan's spent fuel, assuming Tokyo decides to return to pre-disaster levels of nuclear power generation.

" Even if the Rokkasho plant becomes operational, we cannot help but meet the deadline (for storage space to run out) in 15 to 20 yrs, just a little longer than about 10 yrs without it," said Hideyuki Ban, co-director of the Citizens' Nuclear Information Center and also a member of a govt panel studying the nuclear fuel cycle.

But the waste problem is now so acute that experts say the facility will only buy Japan an additional five to 10 years before it has to implement more lasting but politically sensitive solutions, such as permanent burial.

If it fails to find a solution to its waste-fuel problem, the entire nuclear power industry could one day grind to a halt. " We think there is an 80 to 90 percent chance of the plant being a failure."

Japanese govt and electricity utilities insisted that it nuclear power technology is superior. However, Fukushima showed us that they were so wrong.

The fallout, nuclear reactors contaminated a vast land area, the air and the sea. I want the M'sian govt and its people to recognise that the Fukushima tragedy could happen to any country that embraces nuclear power.

Australian uranium was used in the Fukushima reactors that were destroyed in March. We Australians do not want to be responsible for similar disasters in Malaysia.

A 50-yr lifespan, a single nuclear reactor is responsible for 1500 tonnes of high-level nuclear waste and a staggering 35mil tonnes of low level radioactive tailings waste.

Representative of the Fukushima Network for Protecting Children from Radiation, Seiichi Nakate, said:

I would not want the Malaysian people to experience the tragedy that people in Fukushima are now facing. I came here only because I wanted to tell you this. In Fukushima, more than 100,000 families have been separated because of the nuclear accident. And even now, one million people still live in contaminated areas with deep sufferings and anxiety.

Thot of the day - The Malaysian govt should not bequeath this toxic legacy to future generations.

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-02-21/tokyo-small-stocks-longest-run-since-75.html

Japan’s TSE 2nd Section Price Index (TSE2), a capitalization- weighted index of smaller companies listed at Tokyo Stock Exch, closed +0.2% to 2,308.56 at 3 pm, rising for a 26th consecutive day. That’s the longest streak since May 13, 1975. (Info from Tokyo stk Exch)

Even after rising for 26 days, shares on the index trade at an average of 0.68 times book value, compared with 1 times for the Topix Index, Japan’s broadest gauge, and 1.24 times for the Nikkei 225 Stk Average. A number less than one means that companies can be bought for less than value of their assets.

The streak “suggests money is flowing into the Japanese market across the board,” said Makoto Sengoku, a mkt analyst at Tokai Tokyo Securities Co. “The TSE’s 2nd section is a mkt that’s very undervalued.

That’s another reason behind investors buying the shares.”
