You know, that MOX stuff they've put in the reactors? It's 2 MILLION TIMES more toxic than uranium!!

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!

I kept thinking about this yesterday when I read about the reactor 3 having plutonium.
Remember Alexander Litvinenko, the Russian KGB guy that had gone to London seeking political asylum..and the Russians killed him..he died from Radiation. I remember the big panic to find how the plutonium was smuggled,fear that others who had handled the tiny amount or even come close to contact on the streets of London may be sick. If such a tiny amount caused that type of panic, what are we facing the second this reactor blows up like reactor 1.

All I've been able to hear on tv says all is under control-only slight chance for leak! One expert says this and another says that how can anyone know?

^^^^^
THIS

Can I put my tomato plants out now?

This MOX is WORSE... it's a mix of depleted uranium and plutonium.

MOX is made in our back yard.

Because of its high "neutron flux" levels, the reactor pressure vessel can become embrittled and fail during accident conditions. A nuclear accident involving MOX fuel could cause a meltdown more serious than Three Mile Island or Chernobyl, because the levels of radiation inside a reactor using MOX are even higher than in a normal atomic reactor.

Just keeps getting worse..........

No, that IS NOT FUCKING TRUE!!

And the BIGGEST COMPLAINT in your link about MOX is that it ends up makingweapons grade plutonium.


It is NO MORE DANGEROUS than uranium or plutonium when used in power plants. OR released into the air!!!

I did some checking and there is some confusion in articles written about Alexanders murder. In some reports it says Plutonium but should read Polonium. They are different:
210-Polonium. It's an intensely radioactive substance that is produced in nuclear reactors, and which has certain industrial and scientific applications.

Polonium is intensely radioactive, but in a closed container it's safe to handle and virtually undetectable because the radiation is all in the form of alpha particles. Alpha particles can not even penetrate a sheet of writing paper. They are only harmful when the radioactive substance gets into your body.

Plutonium also is an alpha emitter that is produced in nuclear reactors, but it is much less radioactive. People who are contaminated with plutonium often die of cancer five or ten or twenty years after the fact.

Why do you lie???


"What is MOX"

"A nuclear accident involving MOX fuel could cause a meltdown more serious than Three Mile Island or Chernobyl, because the levels of radiation inside a reactor using MOX are even higher than in a normal atomic reactor."

You know why.

:failyou:

We ALL KNOW that they ALWAYS downplay the truth....and many times blatently lie.
(note the recent Gulf / BP fiasco)

When do they EVER to tell you LIKE IT IS?

Never.


:backtosleep:

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.

Yes. Even ONE mg of MOX released is the equivalent of 2 kg of uranium leaked. Which is a lot.

Has there been reports of an explosion at #3 Fukushima?

I just saw a twitter that is stating so.
