smoke spotted at another Japanese nuclear plant (10 miles south of Fuku Daiichi)

I feel it is necessary for me to provide a reality check and a reminder.

Here goes:-

Fukushima Dai-Ichi was the plant that got almost all of the news coverage, and is where the most difficult-to-conceal horrors are happening.

There are six reactors at Dai Ichi. Four of them are smoking craters or stumps of concrete, and the other two still look pretty much like reactors from the outside.

But all six are headed for meltdown. All six reactors overheated and even though numbers 5&6　are not mentioned, they both had partial meltdowns, and once a meltdown starts it only continues. Pouring water on the damaged fuel rods will keep the melting-down at a relatively slow pace. Also, the reactor containments for 5&6 managed to remain intact, so circulating water into the wrecked fuel-rod assemblies isn't so problematic as the others.

Dai-Ni is a rreactor complex about 12kms down the road from Dai Ichi. Same problem there ... partial meltdowns and I don't know what else, but they've been quietly trying to keep Dai ni from getting into the news. Same as in Dai Ichi, Dai Ni is set to blow, but continuously drenching with water keeps it from exploding in a hurry.

I'm trying to think of some expression that suits what the situation is with the two Fukushima nuke plants. It's not like the Sword of Damacles really, as there is no ignoring it and fanatic work by press-ganged social rejects can never be paused.

Well - I'm a bit tired, but I'm sure there is suitable expression for the situation. Anyone recall one?

@ Mael, our Friends of Tepco always update the Situation of Daini!

@ Op., nice try but:

, now i forgot to check Op's Date of Posting, sorry!

Are you a real rife praid shrill?

I know it's an old piece.

I just felt I should remind you that meltdowns only go one-way, and that the reactors at Dai Ni, although they are probably not smoking at the mement, are severely damaged and the situation is permanently precarious.

Apologies. Yup. The Jap-USA industrial syndicate really fcuked up. I only hope the Japanese people (and Yakusa) can revolt against the madness before it happens again...which it will.

Pinned!

Thank you for informing.........

The date, look at the date.

Woops that is old , but I don't think that down plays the severity of this no press situation!

its 2 years old dude

Yes it is, does not down play the severity of the situation! If you feel that strongly about it contact a Mod and they will unpin........

By the Way there was no partial Melt-Down in Daini,
Mael is wrong:

Plutonium half-life 6563 years minus 2 years = 6561 years

Yay!

Calm Down, you stupid fuck!

It is not up to you what he like to pin and what not!

That means situation became worse,the japanese from above
confirms that.

Edgar Cayce said it.
Japan must go into the sea.

That's affirmative..........

FUBAR

.

I concur! This is a slow nightmare.....

what about Daiichi #5 and #6?

.

Thank you so much!!!!

Yeah Wikipedia is sooo right guys...you should always use it as your source

Had never heard of this one, how the hell was it kept so quiet? Thanks for the info OP.

Fukushima Daini was an immediate problem following the earthquake, and the IAEA was also monitoring it.

Unfortunately, as stated in the above post, it was so overshadowed by the situation at Daiichi, few mentioned this in their news reports.

It was reported here as early as on March 31, 2011, possibly even earlier through news reports following the quake:
