Just in : Most of the leaked water has travelled out of the local dam. The total amount of leaking B nuclide is 24,000,000,000,000 Bq. Fukushima

I wish my friend would have commented more. He did tell me his unit offered to consult and assist to mitigate the situation, but was turned down. At that point, he simply stated "screwed". He is currently based in the U.K.. He has never talked very much, but when he says something, I listen.

The new math problems for tomorrows children. Can't you just see it in the textbooks? If two men are standing next to a leak of radioactive steam travelling at 10 metres a minute and one man is breathing at the rate of 12 breaths per half hour and the second man is breathing at a rate of 17 breaths per half hour, which one will die of the giant tumour first?

CP, I know you remember me saying this was going to start happening.

How and why is what makes me nervous. Very nervous!



Radiation is increasing and radioactive water release is increasing.

They mention it like it is a normal emergency release of water. But those reactors haven't been in operation for a LONG time. Also noting Tepco stated they achieved cold shut down.


The water release is the result of the corium reacting with the underground water table and emergency cooling water pumped in.

As radiation output increases, so does the corium reaction. As when there is smoke there is fire. So as radiation, there is a reaction occurring.



Soon, God forbid, the corium will cross the critical limit. The moment enough water cools the corium enough to sustain a reaction with immediate release neutrons ONLY, it will become a slow motion nuclear bomb. Good news is most of the fuel will be consumed, the bad news is it will probably project the radioactive debris high into the upper atmosphere. Where it will circle the globe many times and gently pepper us all.

The southern hemisphere will get it as it creeps across the equatorial trade winds.

The west coast USA is fubared big time if such an eruption occurs.



For some reason, I feel there may be a new problem considering the corium COULD mix with magma and trigger multiple volcanic eruptions and earthquakes in short time.

I agree, when my next shipment of Soeks comes in (for Aus at least I've got four capitals set up), now to set up a site....

I'm down for a job. And would love to help in anyway possible.

Set me up with some equipment and some walking cash. I'll comb the west coast and upload readings on a Daily basis.

Hell, if it helps create some awareness, possibly save some lives and reduce health risks and exposure. I'd be honored.

What I don't have, is extra money.

I currently make just enough money to support what's mine.

I don't weigh in on these discussions very much, but today I will make an exception. Most of my life I was very much pro nuclear power. I studied the concept, tested my way into the military nuclear program, was signed up and ready to jump on the bus for basic training then on to Idaho to train to become a nuclear reactor operator. I decided to get married instead. That was a quality decision. One of my friends went on thru the training, and eventually not only became an operator, but later helped design the reactors placed on our military subs. We talk often. The day we realized the tsunami hit the reactors, and the support systems were known to be damaged, I was shocked into a new reality. Even with my limited knowledge, I had this unshakable reality that this situation was in fact worse than any nuclear accident I had ever tried to put my mind around. I called my friend, and told him that I heard all the assurance from tepco, but I could not come up with any scenario that this disaster could be controlled. My friend is a man of few words, and his comment confirmed my worst fears. This highly educated, trained, and extremely smart buddy summed up my worst fears with one word. Screwed. There you have it. The final blow to a once pro nuclear power guy. There really is no easy fix. If ever we could use a miracle, this is the time, this is the place. With what we now know about the dangers of playing God with nuclear power, why we have started building new, bigger reactors while virtually outlawing coal power is insanity. Are our elected leaders really this stupid, or are they really this corrupt? I cannot say with certainty where or how this will end, or how widespread the damage will be. Be assured, the doom train is out of the station and rolling down the tracks. I will be praying for a miracle.

most people here do not understand what a Bq is maybe even me. but if i understand that means there are 2.4x 10^13th nuclear disenigrations per second in the pacific. or that many chances every second to mutate fish dna

Oh yeah. There's a long list.

Every day another CP post on Fukushima... why? It is beyond the point of no return. If what is being reported is true, all life will be dead within three generations. This cannot be wound back, based on current known technology.

A new thread everyday does not change this. What is the point? Justice? no. Fear? exactly. Why do that?

I appreciate the tenacity with which CP draws attention to this matter, but why does there need to be another thread seemingly daily- just add to one of the other 14 threads made on this in only the last five days.

Distraction?

serious question then, why wouldn't it stay in a continuous circle with the current?

Another bullshit fear monger thread.

EVEN a brain damaged retard would have questioned the idea to build a nuclear plant direct on ocean beach...hell, I wouldn't build a simple apartment that close to the water.

All the government heads are silent.
That's more worrisome than if they were screaming and yelling.

It is not a good thing, but there's a ton of radiation and poisonous substances in our water anyway.

My understanding is with the way ocean currents work this will stay in the upper pacific

Please stop spreading this untruth:

"The west coast USA is fubared big time if such an eruption occurs."

FACT - The dry areas of California have received a lot less radiation than the U.S. midwest and south, because radiation FALLS AS RAIN.

How many times does this have to be said before people understand?

Anyone putting themselves forth as an expert on radiation or climate needs to get this one little thing right.

Okay, I'll bit.

Tell me, how far can plutonium travel considering the smallest of particles is equally as deadly.

During WW2, the Japanese floated bombs across the Pacific with the trade winds. If that corium erupts from steam explosion, you bet your ass it will blast it VERY high.

Shit will circle the globe, easily many times around. Question is how much you are going to get where you are at. Not IF you get it.

Get it?
