If they really are using plutonium MOX fuel and not the usual uranium fuel ... THAN we are in real trouble.
 Quoting: ThePaleOne


Fuskushima Daiichi reactor #3 def has MOX:

[link to www.japantoday.com]

However, from that aug 2010 article, it would appear #1 and #2 do not have MOX unless it was performed after #3 was done.

I have good sources that indicate Japan's nuclear reactor container was breached. I can supply no links at this time.
 Quoting: D. Bunker


Well...that's about as bad news gets.
Assuming that is true, it'd be virtually impossible to cool the core down once it really get's going into melt, flooding it with sea water would either cause it to blow up due to the over pressure created by steam or hydrogen gas or both...it would also create a virtual flood of radioactive water and steam gushing out...the scary thing is?...that may actually be a better alternative than allowing it to burn up and meltdown completely...so it really looks like this may end very badly...and that's just reactor #1....there are more to go and if #1 goes, I doubt that anyone is going to be able to stay there on site to manage the others...

Excellent and simply put assessment SHR. Great thread!

Re: Explosion at the Fukushima Nuclear power plant in Japan and possible meltdown coming.
According to this

[link to nuctrans.org]

Reactor #1 is the least powerful of the six reactors at Daiichi (439 mW). #2 (760 mW) is 1.8 times the output of #1, I assume that must mean larger fuel capacity?

#1 and #2 are both G.E./Ebasco, someone was asking about that...

I, too, am concerned... My best friends have a son that is stationed in Sasebo, whose ship was off the coast of Malaysia (I believe they said) who were called off liberty and sent to help. His children also live in Japan. I was able to communicate with his estranged Japanese wife via Facebook, and know that they were ok after the initial quake/tsunami, as they are in a mountain in the south of Japan. But this is definitely scary, as the ship is headed INTO the zone of the reactor!

uraniam is a bad animal, plutonium is worse, however as I posted it appears earlier reports of MOX in #1 are incorrect, SHR's original post mentioning uranium fuel would seem to be correct.

Re: Explosion at the Fukushima Nuclear power plant in Japan and possible meltdown coming.
Nice summary SHR.

If it comes to the worst case, what radius could be contaminated ? 10 square miles ? 30 square miles ? 1000 square miles ?

Tokyo is about 200 miles away ......

Thanks
 Quoting: ^àTOn^


Depends on the level of contamination...and for how long..initialy? If it went into a real breached out meltdown? I would guess a 15 mile radius would be total evac and high level radioactivity would go with the wind for a very long distance....it could very reach tokoyo and far beyond with radioactive particles...they are light and travel well...rain comes?...down they come too...on top of "just" having them in the air....how much and for how long is it going to take to kill or cause many of the other adverse medical effects has been a matter of debate since pretty much the atomic age began...I personally prefer my upload of radiation to be at a minimum...
 Quoting: SHR


SHR their last line in pumping sea water directly into the chamber it has a seperate pumps and seperate power sources.. From what I understand that would show more white smoke/steam.. that has not happened yet from the pics on Kyodo news. But if you breach #1, there are 3 others that are really close.. and wow not good.

Re: Explosion at the Fukushima Nuclear power plant in Japan and possible meltdown coming.
Don't know if this has been mentioned. Just saw a scientist on CNN who stated the sea water cooling of the reactor is a desparate measure that will most likely not work. He also stated that there is a special kind of fuel that contains plutonium in these reactors and its even more dangerous than the usual fuel if released and that it should be banned worlwide
 Quoting: sea water cooling 923772


WELCOME TO the world of MOX, oh yes thanks srh, well writtem , its up to the readers to connect the dots, follow their feelings based on research.
there is no single newssource thats not distorted, the same with opinions.
oh yeh uk guy, get along why dont cha? your fuzzing up the place with petty points of view.if you need established exüerts, their salery comes from people bigger than them, so even an expert will distort, so they dont take all the respospability as news or events unfold, everybodys trying to save the silver a the ship sinks.
use your mind to make decisons, not what just an expert or a researcher says.

oh yes for the post here you go its mox talk, and the hole gets deep fast

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1034800


RAD is "radiation absorbed dose" and that is why the map is claimed to be bogus... it is impossible to predict "absorbed dose" because if you are in an airtight structure you won't absorb anything! It doesn't mean anything without knowing what assumptions have been made to compute the numbers.

Re: Explosion at the Fukushima Nuclear power plant in Japan and possible meltdown coming.
This was the most informative and realistic article of this catastrophy that I have read. Also the thread about the fuel pool being in danger of causing additional contamination is right on the money. I have been watching CNN and listening to the crap that they have been dancing around. I guess they feel that we can't handle the truth, and ignorance is bliss. Hopefully ,the other reactors will stay in tact.
