Explosion at the Fukushima Nuclear power plant in Japan and possible meltdown coming.

Sorry, true!

Yes of course it is. But this is the way it is: every evidence and information is flying around so rampantly now that it's making alot of people panic and when people panic, they want a leader. It is a natural reaction. But they want a leader with truth. Someone they can trust. Someone who will help them survive.

Our wonderful presidents sure will never be one. after all, he referred to this as a "potential catastrophe".

So I was being figurative there. Yes, we will decide when to take things. I might go out for more Vitamin C as now I wonder about my stock of it. And I might add more to my stash as well.

Yes, I want to be calm and make the best decisions.

Me thinks it might make it into a bomb, but what do I know?

Look, when a thread has good info it needs to be bumped.

The bump smilies get old so bumping by fighting/trolling the trolls kicks in as the replacement.

Thanks for your help in the effort!!!!!!!!!!

What was the darkened area in the center of the blast that seemed to rise up and stay suspended? Any ideas?

Right, but you are not!!! Let me see, when you are in the ER all banged up from a massive accident, in a coma, half dead, whatcha gonna do?

Excuse me doctor, can I see your credentials? You have a laptop? I need to research to see if what you are wanting to do to save my life is the best thing. I need some peer reviewed journals and probably about a week to get myself up to speed. THen I need to carefully weight my options and THEN I might let you go ahead and operate on my to save my life.


Gimme a break.

you don't need an education to figure out what is going on here.

we are FUCKED, it's as simple as that!

Great Article SHR! It rivals the one you wrote about the Gulf oil disaster that was published by other sites.
I feel like I learned and gained understanding. Keep us updated.

I also saw this interview.

It was the first, straight-forward-tell-it-like-it-is opinion I have yet to see
on the MSM. And it was frightening.

He didn't mince words. And he finally stated that "Yes" it will be global.

You are right about wanting a strong leader. Sounds like you are up to the job for yourself and those around you.

Having plenty of anti-oxidants like vitamin C is a great idea. I'm lower than I should be, I'll probably take your idea and add some to my list.

Japanese nuclear spokeman telling press officially now that situation is worse than 3 mile island




The Japanese government is claiming this is a INES level 4 event.

cant linked to banned news agency

What does level 4 mean?

Well, if it was a reputable source, it wouldn't be banned.

I guess I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. Right now I prefer to spend my time learning how to stay out of massive accidents.

Yeah, but it would have cost more to build a safe nuke plant. Think of the profits.

Thanks for the info, AC.

INES Level 4: Accident with local consequences

Impact on People and the Environment

Minor release of radioactive material unlikely to result in implementation of planned countermeasures other than local food controls.
At least one death from radiation.


Impact on Radiological Barriers and Control
Fuel melt or damage to fuel ­resulting in more than 0.1% release of core inventory.
Release of significant quantities of radioactive material within an installation with a high ­probability of significant public exposure.

Examples:

* Sellafield (United Kingdom) – 5 incidents 1955 to 1979[4]
* SL-1 Experimental Power Station (United States) – 1961, reactor reached prompt criticality, killing three operators.
* Saint-Laurent Nuclear Power Plant (France) – 1980, partial core meltdown.
* Buenos Aires (Argentina) – 1983, criticality accident during fuel rod rearrangement killed one operator and injured 2 others.
* Jaslovské Bohunice (Czechoslovakia) – 1977, contamination of reactor building.
* Tokaimura nuclear accident (Japan) – 1999, three inexperienced operators at a reprocessing facility caused a criticality accident; two of them died.
* Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant (Japan) – 2011, reactor shutdown after earthquake, failure of emergency cooling caused an explosion.

The only reason the Prypat plant fire did not kill us all is because brave people put the fire out in time before the cloud became too big. Never forget that.

.

How many incidents like this have to happen before TPTB decide that Nuke power is not so good after all?

News that radiation is lessening should be ignored as lies.
The news that it is bad are more likely to be the truth.
How many of those scientists who are telling us how bad it is will have sudden heart attacks and die?

I have no idea what the half-life is of this fallout honestly-two weeks may not be near enough.A nuke uses most of that energy in the bombs explosion.An out of control reactor doe not.

If one reactor goes bang and one more is close to being tits up-you have a huge probability of a no mans land around the second one so that would also be a possible catastrophic event if no one can get to work on it.

Water pumped into the core in an uncontained manner results in huge amounts of radioactive steam and gas. When you get into a China Syndrome type nightmare a constant venting of vaporized radioactive matter spews up somewhere-even if its alot of glass(sand) on top while its molten it allows gases to seep thru-rather violently.

Now- to the important point-that map that someone posted...
where did that come from? Whats the history behind it?
Because if they plan on 750 rads for the western USA EVERYTHING there dies.I assume its 350 rads for the rest of the USA-ALOT of things die in that zone.


Again I do not know the half-life of these alleged particles.But I suspect its a hell of alot more than the fallout from a "clean" nuclear weapon-meaning that if the 750 number is right-the USA most of Canada and most of Mexico will be a long long term radioactive dead zone.
Again please post the source and background regarding that map.
If this is anyway close to credible we are in a giant global catastrophe.

They failed to tell people the reactor was using an experimental plutonium fuel.

Yes he would go to prison if he said that on tv.

listen to this
this guy hardly sleeps

[link to www.ustream.tv]

This is starting to come down like an asteroid hit with an EQ attached.

yeah he should get some sleep

That map is no good. There are two versions that I've seen, one supposedly from australia and the other supposedly from usnrc. It was photoshopped by someone with no knowledge of radiation dosimetry.

Some people can't cook up a good hoax no matter the subject but in this case it's a complete shame that somebody just couldn't resist the urge.

LMAO @ the picture on his ustream channel...

WINNING!
