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

Well CNN just finally confirmed.

#1 is in Meltdown.

Duh.

CNN now reporting on TV that regulatory agencies in Japan are advising that a meltdown may be under way.

If CNN is now reporting what we on GLP have been reading about all day... that means shit is really hitting the fan.

yup

“Officials have said that radiation levels at Fukushima were elevated before the blast: At one point, the plant was releasing each hour the amount of radiation a person normally absorbs from the environment each year,” reported the Associated Press.

ruuueters reporting now that they are preparing to release radioactive steam again this time from reactor #2

"may be" lol

all u need to know is they are speaking the forbidden word... meltdown. They wouldn't ever use it if this were truly a "may be" situation.

Yeah, stand by for #2, #3, and #6.
:iwhoa:

Japan Ambassador on CNN with Wolf Blitzer right now, denying they are in a meltdown and saying reactor #1 was not breached.

He is a brave man, anyway. Let us hope he is being truthful.

Can you believe this shit?

Ambassador saying rods did melt but it is not a full meltdown. (paraphrasing)

body language says he's lying out of his ass....and scared!!!!

American gov't mouthpiece seemed agitated. Obv we do not believe the japanese at this point in time. Wolf is grilling him on this.

The meltdown doesn't always equate to a release?

Are they on crack?

Funny how all day the intel hub and godlikeproductions as well as a few otheers have said meltdown was underway yet everyone denied it.

The ambassador states the evacuation remains at 20 kilometers.

That's just not true. A BBC reporter could not get within 60 kilometers when he went to investigate.

that's because despite all the constant cries of "shill", GLP is more real than the real world is. :)

Well that interview didn't reveal much more than (a) the stereotypical japanese proud stubbornness, and (b) the obvious fact that the US must suspect meltdown (don't forget the plethora of satellite tools we possess).

agreed!!!

I think all ambassadors went to Baghdad Bob's School of DisInformation!!

They could smother it in boron and sand. Water would flash to steam which is why it would be a last resort, no containment and a definite release with water.

Maybe they will release more information after the evacuations have been completed. I am quite sure that is a tremendously difficult task given the damage to the countryside.

Per the BBC:

2318: US nuclear experts warn that pumping sea water to cool a quake-hit Japanese nuclear reactor is an "act of desperation" that may foreshadow a Chernobyl-like disaster, AFP reports. "The situation has become desperate enough that they apparently don't have the capability to deliver fresh water or plain water to cool the reactor and stabilise it, and now, in an act of desperation, are having to resort to diverting and using sea water," said Robert Alvarez, who works on nuclear disarmament at the Institute for Policy Studies.

1,015 uSv/hr is not a core meltdown, espeically when it drops to 70 uSv/hr awhile later.

However, I do not know if anyone has posted this which is the design of the GE-Mark-1 Reactor that are present there. Before bashing the Japanese, it might be well to remember who built this plant, as well as the fact that there were 35 of this design built in the USA.

Go here for more: [link to www.nirs.org]

"Of the 110 operational nuclear power reactors in the United States, thirty-five are boiling water reactors (BWR). General Electric is the sole designer and manufacturer of BWRs in the United States. The BWR's distinguishing feature is that the reactor vessel serves as the boiler for the nuclear steam supply system. The steam is generated in the reactor vessel by the controlled fissioning of enriched uranium fuel which passes directly to the turbogenerator to generate electricity. "

These 35 need decomissioned and replaced with the much newer and vastly safer Pepple Bed Reactor designs, IMHO.

Remember the Oil Companies would just love for you all to be dependent on Oil for the disel to burn in disel fired electrical power generators... and would perfer to trade Blood for Oil...

Thread: **PREDICTIONS...I'LL GIVE YOU YOUR PREDICTIONS...*** (Page 3)

This^^^^....Always appreciated your explanations during Gulf Oil Crisis...at least now I can see the issues with some knowledge involved and not all BS and propaganda....thank you!!

Another 6.3 "aftershock".

This can't be helping the nuclear plant situations. :(

Back away from your monitor, or your HDTV monitor... back far away, done a lead suit (opps. lead is toxic) and build a lead box to cover your monitor with, and use 24 inch thick lead glass in that box to view your monitor with before you turn it back on.

Make sure you also cover your laptop with a fully enclosued lead sheilding as the epoxy casing of the integrated circuit chips themselve give off alpha and some beta radiation.

Radio-phobia is a mental disease when it states that all radiation is bad, that anything but zero radiation is a bad thing.

The explosion was due to too much pressure building up in the reactor vessel from the runaway meltdown boiling away the coolant water.

They stopped venting operations that were releasing pressure when they detected the start of the meltdown by reading some Cesium outside of the plant.

By now they have declared that we are beyond a partial meltdown and a total failure of primary containment which has been breached.

The rods are super heated goo eating through the thick steel and concrete that makes up secondary containment and the reactor vessel.

There is a crack in the vessel due to the extreme pressure and that was the cause of the explosion we all saw.

Meanwhile the meltdown continues to eat its way out.

Is this 6th one at Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant #1, or on of the reactors at Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant #2?
