i think they're just using this to their advantage now, to keep everyone distracted, like they do with every potential doom scenario.

if something bad was gonna happen, it would have already happened by now.

imho

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1292909


ok, let's give you one last wankfest.

the Mox goes into full meltdown, making a molten pool of highly radioactive shit, that is so hot it starts burning through everything, including the crust, flash boiling all the water it hits on the way down.

eventually, it contacts the copious amounts of magma miles beneath the nuke plant, and KABOOM, huge, volcanic/radioactive cloud gets shot up into the jetstream, to spread around the globe.

northern hemisphere dies first, then the cloud crosses the equator, and Australians are the last to die, in scenes reminiscent of 'On the Beach'

there, that better? lol

I am just amazed. Our OP here at GLP was the one to tell us about this! Nice find. Notice no mention of this anywhere int he news media! What total bullshit! Th Japanese and the USA government/news are covering up the severity of yet another disaster; this one, however, appears to be HUGE!

Meltdown starts when there isn't anything to seperate the rods and they get too hot.
With 50% of the rods exposed, that means that 50% of the core is melting( or at a point where melting can happen.)
From what I've read , the water or graphite is used as the rod seperator...so now water, no seperation...melting starts.

So like millions of tons of uranium have been laying around in the enviornment forever, waiting to be found and refined for various purposes. Then it was VERY spread around, now it's more concentrated. So it was always there, now it's just getting more spread around again.

MOX is made in our back yard.

Savanna Georgia
 Quoting: DERAIL

the plant you're referring to is on the Savanna River in Aiken SC and is still under construction

completion date is 2016

[link to nnsa.energy.gov]

Reprocessing of commercial nuclear fuel to make MOX is done in the United Kingdom and France, and to a lesser extent in Russia, India and Japan. China plans to develop fast breeder reactors and reprocessing. Reprocessing of spent commercial-reactor nuclear fuel is not permitted in the United States due to nonproliferation considerations. All of these nations have long had nuclear weapons from military-focused research reactor fuels except Japan.

The United States is building a MOX plant at the Savannah River Site in South Carolina. The Tennessee Valley Authority and Duke Energy are interested in using the reactor fuel from the conversion of weapons-grade plutonium

It would be hard to say, seeing how they are so carefully choosing their words in all this.
To me, a 'partial meltdown' would mean that the rods that are without water, exposed, have begun to fuse together...it hasn't completly turned into a giant mass of chain reaction...but it has started heading that way.

In fact most of the environmental destruction is executed by Han Chinese Maoist, including destruction of tropical rain forests in Brazil by using Komatsu bulldozer that is made in Japan.

Because it helps to monopolize P.O.W.E.R to control people or slaves.

Yeah, uranium isn't actually very toxic. Plutonium, on the other hand, is ridiculously toxic.

"Toxic," of course, being an independent concept from "radioctive."

Uh oh...

Results of the effort to flood the Fukushima Daiichi ‘s reactor No. 1 are still unclear, but Bøhmer said that “If they manage to avoid a meltdown, that reactor is gone. They will have to decommission it – the same is likely to happen with reactor unit 3.”

He added that pouring seawater into the reactor “Pouring seawater into Rector No 1 was a very desperate measure and has not put it outside the possibility of a meltdown. “

With high pressure inside the reactors at Daiichi hampering efforts to pump in cooling water, plant operators had to release radioactive vapor into the atmosphere. Radiation levels outside the plant, which had retreated overnight, shot up to 1,204 microsieverts per hour, or over twice Japan’s legal limit, Edano told reporters.

“A shutdown of coolant to a reactor loaded with MOX fuel make the reactor much more difficult to control than a reactor loaded with usual uranium fuel,” wrote Vladimir Slivyak, co-chair of Russia’s Ecodefence, in his regular updates on ***anti-atom.ru, noting that a disaster at the No. 3 unit would lead to plutonium fallout.

“Compared to radioactive fallout from a reactor working on uranium fuel, a much higher rate of illness can be expected as a result of irradiation,” wrote Slivyak.

Bellona’s Bøhmer described the anatomy of what such an eventuality might look like.

The worst case scenario would be to lose all ability to cool the core which would expose the fuel assembly to the air,” he said. The temperature would rise dramatically.

Should temperatures reach 1000 degrees Celsius, Bøhmer said, any cooling water begins to disappear and hydrogen beings to be produced.

At 2200 degrees Celsius, the uranium in the MOX fuel assembly would begin to melt.

At the point, said Bøhmer, “bits of metal would start to burn through the reactor core, which would allow exposure to the air, and then you would get both a uranium and plutonium explosion, a vapour explosion releasing both uranium and plutonium.”

One French observers group said it had received information that three meters of MOX fuel rods at Fukushima Daiichi’s unit three were exposed from boiled off coolant, but these reports could not be independently confirmed.

Meanwhile, the Japanese government struggled to cope with a rising tide of panic. Reports said that NHK, Japan’s public broadcaster, flashed instructions to evacuees: close doors and windows; place a wet towel over the nose and mouth; cover up as much as possible.

At a news conference, Edano called for calm. “If measures can be taken, we will be able to ensure the safety of the reactor,” he told reporters.

Plutonium is only an alpha particle source. Cesium and Iodine radioisotopes are beta and gamma emitters and worse. Plutonium that gets loose is also likely to be in solid form and is very heavy (sinks to the bottom of anything). There were tests in australia where they took four kilograms of powdered plutonium and blew it into the sky with conventional explosives to see what would happen. Some ground got contaminated.

God help us all.

In a sign of how volatile the situation is, the Union of Concerned Scientists said in a statement on Sunday in Washington that it fears the situation "took a turn for the worse as serious problems developed" at the Unit 3 reactor at Daiichi.

It said that statements from Tokyo Electric officials indicate that water levels have dropped so far that approximately 90 percent of the fuel rods in the core of the reactor were uncovered and that despite pumping in seawater the water level is still well below where it should be.
