Clinch Leatherwood Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Probably very bad http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/03/16/us-japan-quake-smoke-idUSTRE72F0AW20110316 Smoke now is coming from #3. NHK just said workers can't go out and measure...cannot approach storage pool because the radiation is too high. The problem here is all of these pools are on the top floors. At least 2 or 3 are exposed to the open air now.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clinch Leatherwood Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 About an hour ago they are reporting radiation rose rapidly....told workers to evacuate to a safe area. NOT good. As of 1054 the reading began to drop. Part of the vessel, evaporation coming out...IE, maybe #3 is now breached too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jburns Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Some perspective: Of the 2,044 nuclear weapons tests worldwide, there have been 711 in the atmosphere or underwater: 215 by the U.S., 207 by the Soviet Union, 21 by Britain, 45 by France and, 23 by China. The last atmospheric nuclear weapons test occurred on 16 October 1980 in China. The first was on 16 July 1945 in the U.S. It is estimated that the total yield of all the atmospheric nuclear weapons tests conducted is 438 megatons. That's equivalent to 29,200 Hiroshima size bombs. In the 36 years between 1945 and 1980 when atmospheric testing was being conducted this would have been equivalent to exploding a Hiroshima size bomb in the atmosphere every 11 hours. Being an old fart I was around for almost all of them and I'm still here. Not trying to minimize what is happening at all but this is not a doomsday scenario. Even if the worst happens it will be a mere speck compared to what we purposefully dumped into our atmosphere during those years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vandy Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Time for the world to step in with all resources. CNN just made a great point, why leave this in the hands of 50 overworked obviously stressed out workers. It ain't getting any better. You can't force help on people. If Japan/TEPCO wants outside help in the form of man power, I'm sure they'll ask and the world will respond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree....this could become a global response gig..... just heard him state they are preparing water pumping.......which would require a crew on the site.....so perhaps the 50 are still there and rotating time in the control room???? CNN has new alert govt official....workers have suspended operations geez info coming form there is a mess..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
