A single pool fire would release catastrophic amounts of radioactivity, rendering 17-22,000 square miles of area uninhabitable. That’s about the size of New Hampshire and Vermont – from one pool fire. [link to theintelhub.com] |

I haven't heard a word about it. I believe there are masses of people sick and dying from radiation and it's being covered up. Though even with a lethal dose of radiation it can take days or weeks to show up and a month to really kill a person. |

Independent nuclear specialists are warning that long-term risk of radiation due to internal exposure will be worse due to present lies about and the cover-up of the catastrophe, being used to protect the nuclear energy industry.

The soil sample was taken on March 21 and 22, which TEPCO didn't bother to tell anyone. Last Edited by oldboldpilot on 03/27/2011 04:53 PM "Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact.

Safety agency officials had been hoping to pump the water into huge, partly empty tanks inside the reactor that are designed to hold condensed water. Those tanks, though, turned out to be completely full, said Hidehiko Nishiyama of Japan's Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency. Meanwhile, plans to use regular power to restart the cooling system hit a roadblock when it turned out that cables had to be laid through turbine buildings flooded with the contaminated water. "The problem is that right now nobody can reach the turbine houses where key electrical work must be done," Nishiyama said. "There is a possibility that we may have to give up on that plan."

oldboldpilot User ID: 1301792 United States 03/27/2011 05:50 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Very good information and discussion posted today at ALL THINGS NUCLEAR. Does this suggest a cracked spent fuel pool?: [link to allthingsnuclear.org] Where Did the Water in the Spent Fuel Pools Go? | by David Wright | nuclear power | nuclear power safety | Japan nuclear | Since early in the current crisis—a few days after the earthquake and tsunami damaged the reactors at the Fukushima Dai-Ichi facility—people have been concerned about lack of water in the spent fuel pools at the reactors. The water is needed to cool the spent fuel rods, which continue to generate significant heat for years after being removed from the reactor core due to their radioactivity... ...As long as the water, even though boiling, continues to cover the fuel rods it protects them from damage. But once it drops far enough to expose a meter or so of the rods, the exposed sections can become hot enough to damage the cladding on the rods and release radioactive gases. If the fuel continues to heat up, the cladding can begin to burn, which produces hydrogen. If enough hydrogen collects above the pool, it can explode. They go on to say: Reports also said that workers began taking initial steps on March 15 to cool the water in the pools at Units 5 and 6, and that by March 17 temperatures were still rising, reaching between 60 and 70 degrees C. This is also roughly consistent with the numbers in the table, assuming these pools were full of water. By March 19, cooling at both pools 5 and 6 appeared to be working to bring the temperatures down. But the times in the table indicate that boiling of the water in the pools would take much too long to account for the low water levels and exposed fuel reported at the spent fuel pools in Units 2, 3, and 4. So something else must have caused the low water levels. "Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.” ~Marcus Aurelius |

All day yesterday, it felt like a calm before a storm, and I agree with you that an explosion, or some major event is inevitable Now we just wait, and unfortunately it will have to be so big that the media cannot downplay it... I share your impression. We saw a few hydrogen explosions in the beginning of this drama, they made a very good effort to cool the cores and the spent fuel pools since. It cannot go on forever in this fashion, though. Radiation at the site now seems already too high for humans to endure, the ongoing makeshift cooling attempts cannot continue for long because of it. When no people can be present at the site to suppress the deepening of the disaster, things could escalate very quickly. I sincerely hope I'm wrong in my conclusions from available information. I cannot say how sorry I am to see what is about to happen, as if it was not enough what already transpired. I sincerely hope I'm mistaken. |
