just waiting User ID: 1080498 United States 03/12/2011 12:18 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Just on CNN a nuclear physicist just said pouring sea water in the reactor is not at all a safety feature and that this is a last ditch effort and will likely fail leading to a larger reactor explosion. This reactor contains plutonium which will be a potential large explosion and greater fall out area. |
BRIEF User ID: 1293355 United States 03/12/2011 12:19 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I never understood why, in a meltdown situation, they don't pour tons and tons of sand on the rods...What does sand do when super heated? It turns to glass and forms a hermetically tight seal... I never forgive and I never forget I am a licensed firearm holder. I will, under protection of law, use lethal force if attacked. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 1280383 United States 03/12/2011 12:19 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Great overview. It's all about heat transfer with the reactor and once those systems are destroyed, what exactly can be done 'on the fly'? Could a temporary system be rigged up where the surrounding seawater be used? Lesser of the two evils and way beyond code I'm sure, but what else can you do in limited time once the site infrastructure has been destroyed? ------ |
Craze User ID: 1285858 United States 03/12/2011 12:19 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My brother-in-law just sent me this link regarding the jet stream showing that the high velocity jet stream goes right over the Japanese nuclear plant and then on to the west coast of the USA. He is a retired nuclear scientist and told me to get (the hell) out of northern Calisornia/Southern Oregon ASAP. He has high level professional contacts who are involved with containing the problem in Japan. They called him for advice. He told me it is out of control and only a miracle will keep it from getting worse... much worse. Please know he is a firm believer in the safety of nuclear energy and we have had "discussions" about its safety and need. Good luck to all that read this post. Quoting: JWGlantzNOTE- he claims the west coast will be "hit" within 24 hours if the radioactive material gets into the jet stream. [link to squall.sfsu.edu] Shit Im in So. Oregon. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1292909 United Kingdom 03/12/2011 12:22 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | i just think, that if it was the hydrogen that ignited and exploded, the fireball would have been far bigger than what we saw. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1292909what we saw was an initial fireball, all over the walls of the building, then the pressure wave essentially blowing the fire of that initial explosion out. i'm convinced they blew it. Why would they?...there's no need to and they wouldn't want to...if it was only to vent it they could have just cut a hole in it..no..it exploded because there was gas built up inside...the containment building is really just a thin sheild anyway...it's an auxillery level of protection... i agree about that last point.. but why did the fires of the hydrogen explosion go out then? what would make it ignite, then go out like that? unless the explosion we see has NOTHING to do with the release of pressure? two SEPARATE events. one CAUSED the other? why would the flames of the initial explosion be seen all over the walls of the building, and not appear from the weak point of the building the pressure of the explosion found? can you see what i'm saying? oh well, there's nothing I can do about it, whether I 'know', or not, so i'm gonna crack a tinny open. fuck it! |

No, not gas. Steam. Steam because I beleive we are in meltdown scenario. The small amout of cooling water is not near enough to cool the rods. The steam then vaporized and critical mass was reached. That's what the detonation was. CNN just had another "nuclear expert" on. The guy was obviously lying and scared shitless. |

AlasBabylon User ID: 833993 United States 03/12/2011 12:31 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | At 8:30 last night. CNN had a nulear power expert who worked on Chernoble. The guy started to say "fail", then cought himself and corrected. He was clearly nervous and body language suggested panic. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 977055I am not buying any official lines here, and we could be looking at Chernoble Meltdown Scenario. Iodine is being handed out. Chernobyl Radiation Killed Nearly One Million People: New Book " NEW YORK, New York, April 26, 2010 (ENS) - Nearly one million people around the world died from exposure to radiation released by the 1986 nuclear disaster at the Chernobyl reactor, finds a new book from the New York Academy of Sciences published today on the 24th anniversary of the meltdown at the Soviet facility. The book, "Chernobyl: Consequences of the Catastrophe for People and the Environment," was compiled by authors Alexey Yablokov of the Center for Russian Environmental Policy in Moscow, and Vassily Nesterenko and Alexey Nesterenko of the Institute of Radiation Safety, in Minsk, Belarus. * " The authors said, "For the past 23 years, it has been clear that there is a danger greater than nuclear weapons concealed within nuclear power. Emissions from this one reactor exceeded a hundred-fold the radioactive contamination of the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki." * " The book explores effects of Chernobyl fallout that arrived above the United States nine days after the disaster. Fallout entered the U.S. environment and food chain through rainfall. Levels of iodine-131 in milk, for example, were seven to 28 times above normal in May and June 1986. The authors found that the highest U.S. radiation levels were recorded in the Pacific Northwest. " entire article at link [link to www.ens-newswire.com] . |
