famartin Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 I agree. Lots of nuclear experts on here arn't they? Now it's what they are not telling the world or are afraid to Yes, reading what's gone on in this thread during the last 8 hours makes a lot of people look stupid. Especially a certain A.R.

I can feel for the Japanese because I experienced the sense of fear and uncertainty of a nuclear plant accident. I can't imagine earthquake/tsunami/aftershocks on top of that.

Stuff like this brings out the crazies in full force. Check out this comment from an Indian news site. I won't bother with the many that agreed with this. "Don't underestimate the pure evil of Obama and co. A few well-placed nukes, at trigger points along the fault, would serve the agenda of Obama and his NWO masters. They thrive on the creation of chaos... just in case the Mideast wasn't a clue. Remember the Illuminati motto: "Order from Chaos" Numerology of the date fits their occult rituals."

Ed Lizard Posted March 12, 2011 Author Share Posted March 12, 2011 When we stop quoting Spock and stop believing that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, and realize that we should satisfy the needs of everyone including those who live near nuclear power plants, are all equal to each other, then we will have a society in which can thrive much further beyond our limited western society.

Ed Lizard Posted March 12, 2011 Author Share Posted March 12, 2011 There was a lot of hysteria hyping in this thread. Especially by A.R. Whoever posted the 750 rads reaching the West Coast in 10 days graphic had me worried for a moment, although I thought it looked like the Paint snowfall forecasts that sometimes show up in amateur's posts in the local subforums. 750 rads would kill over half the people exposed to it.

Rick G Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 if the outside of the building exploded and the reactor vessel was inside, what are the chances that the reactor vessel was damaged in the explosion? Also with my memories of TMI, the issue was there was no equipment that survived the accdent. the PTB didn't know how bad the damage and what the situation was inside the reactor vessel. I suspect that this could be a problem now. Japan is a world leader in robotics so I wouldn;'t be surprised if they haven't deployed robots to the damaged building. This is speculation on my part.

ThePhotoGuy Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 1705: A quick recap: There is continuing concern over the quake-hit Fukushima No. 1 reactor after a powerful explosion there early this morning. Japanese officials say the container housing the reactor was not damaged and that radiation levels have now fallen. But experts say it is not clear whether the situation is under control.

Dunkman Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Here is what I thought was a pretty good discussion of events that have happened at the plant so far.

ThePhotoGuy Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 1807: If radiation has leaked from the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant, winds will likely blow it out over the Pacific Ocean, says the French Nuclear Safety Authority: "The wind direction for the time being seems to point the pollution towards the Pacific," said Andre-Claude Lacoste, speaking in Paris. 1820: The World Health Organisation says the public health risk from Japan's radiation leak appears to be "probably quite low": "We understand radiation that has escaped from the plant is very small in amount," World Health Organisation spokesman Gregory Hartl told Reuters news agency.

Scott747 Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 They have vented at all four of the reactors of the Daini plant with minimal radiation being released and appears the plant is stabilized. How mant sites/reactors currently at risk?? The above refers to the situation at the Daini plant that I'm currently aware of. Of most concern is the #1 reactor at the Daiichi plant where the explosion was earlier. Conflicting accounts on the sea water being pumped in. Some level of meltdown most likely has occurred but the main containment system remains intact. 2 and 3 reactors at Daiichi were preparing to vent. Not sure what this latest report about the #3 reactor entails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
