Re: Japan Radiation is Out of Control

Since you are so enlightented to take the high road now, this means no bullshit troll threads and/or such posts for say, 7 days?

Re: Japan Radiation is Out of Control

Arnold Gundersen was called as an expert witness for the three mile island incident and who often gives lectures to kids at MIT says that it is too late to do anything. He also thinks that pouring water on the reactors is a bad idea.

One dude with grey hair > all other scientists and the entire Japanese nuclear workforce. You are the Jeff Foxworthy of conspiracy theories/United States penis envy. You need new material.

He comes on again at 3 mins.. He thinks we are already at Chernobyl levels.

If you watch that Chernobyl video you will understand that the gov't and now corporations will not tell all.

Re: Japan Radiation is Out of Control

Lets hope not whats said above is gospel and not hype the situation until shit finally stops changing every 1 hour on the other side of the world, and solid fact based info is disseminated. this could in the end (god hope not) be true, but no one knows right now. this is like the standard conspiracy nonsense that latches on to confused reporters audio clips from 30 seconds into the 9/11 event and preaching it were gospel.

Nothing at this time is certain due to everyone reporting from afar, lets just hope the japanese gov't isn't trying to save face and covering up anything that could kill people and have a devastating environmental impact. until then 5-7 minute clips from are as good/bad as anything else. but i'm going to be more apt to hope to believe the few people who understand the science over bill oreilly shouting at some hapless SOB he picked this week to get his ratings up.

Re: Japan Radiation is Out of Control

you aren't going to get the facts from the Tokyo Energy Company just like the russians didn't tell anyone about Chernobyl.

Re: Japan Radiation is Out of Control

honestly: why are you not living in a cave in antartica if you are so paranoid about every single gov't entity in the entire world? why are you not starting 100 threads a year about the cops/big pharma/corporations/banks/oil companies in your own backyard? this is a gaping ideological hole in your posts imo.

TEPCO = Tokyo Electric Power.

[I]In 2002, TEPCO's president and four executives resigned after it was revealed that repair and inspection records had been falsified.

"It was discovered that TEPCO had covered up incidents of cracking in an important piece of equipment with the reactors' vessels of all its reactors, and as a result, they were forced to close down all 17 reactors," says Philip White of the Citizens Nuclear Information Center.

Then, in 2007, after a 6.8-magnitude earthquake, TEPCO told the public the plant had suffered a minor fire and leak of a gallon's worth of radioactive water. It later turned out the fire had burned for two hours and hundreds of gallons of radioactive water had leaked into the sea.

"There's a pattern that has emerged that TEPCO isn't frank, and deliberately covers up to protect its own interests," White says.

Re: Japan Radiation is Out of Control

I think they have to stop this little band aid of trying to cool the reactors and get more aggressive with what they did in Chernobyl. Fill it with sand and figure out how to enclose the whole plant with some sort of a dome to prevent radiation from leaking out.

The generators probably failed from those massive explosions. That is why I wasn't very optimistic about them trying to get the power back on.

Re: Japan Radiation is Out of Control

why are you rolling your eyes? The situation is fucked. They need to start doing more. You can't let massive amounts of radiation out.

Did you watch that Chernobyl Doc yet? It took thousands of men and several months to contain

#1476946Post 60 of 102

Re: Japan Radiation is Out of Control

Not yet. And you don't just 'dump sand on it' and all is resolved. :roll:

No I know but if you watch that doc then you will realize that is the start

The generators failed in the tsunami, hence the loss of cooling. If the generators hadn't failed there wouldn't have been any explosions or any need to drop coolant from the air

#1476973Post 63 of 102

Re: Japan Radiation is Out of Control

Yes but just because you get the power back on doesn't mean the cooling system will work

#1476974Post 64 of 102

Re: Japan Radiation is Out of Control

Thats why they are scrambling to keep water on the rods for now until the power infrastructure is hopefully restored.

Re: Japan Radiation is Out of Control

They finally admit that it is giving off enough radiation to kill people.

Re: Japan Radiation is Out of Control

Remember back in ’50s and early ’60s, when we set off something like 900 atomic bombs in Nevada? And how we just let the fallout blow wherever and it landed all over the eastern US? And how it wiped out life as we know it and all that was left from Colorado to the Atlantic were six-legged rats battling two-headed cockroaches in the glowing ruins?

Yeah. Exactly. So shut up with the panic already.

Re: Japan Radiation is Out of Control

Raditation levels are 10,000x the safe limit.

I can't believe they haven't started to bury this yet. Reactor 3 is gonna kill many in Japan.

#1478666Post 79 of 102

Re: Japan Radiation is Out of Control

^to "bury it" wouldn't stop radiation ground seepage tho, right? i don't think it's simple as covering it with dirt and sand and walking away. i'm not a nuclear scientist tho so maybe it is. they're going to need a sarcophagus of some sort to king tut this thing.

#1478676Post 80 of 102

Re: Japan Radiation is Out of Control

They will have to do what the Russians did. Dig underneath the plant and pour feet of concrete and then sand and tomb it.
