Fukushima Crisis – China Syndrom x 3 and Totally OUT OF CONTROL!

31 03 2012

The NY Times finally admits it.  There have been constant large earthquakes all through March, not to mention volcanoes waking up in Japan. And Unit 4 cannot leak more without wiping out Tokyo!

When will the news biz begin to sound the alarm for north Japan to be evacuated?

NYT: “Cores at three of plant’s reactors melted down, breaching their containment vessels”

German TV:

Armageddon if Spent Fuel Pool No. 4 collapses and melts down — Could change the world — Most likely consequence is that reactors 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6 get out of control

NEW! Unit 4 fuel will catch FIRE if the cooling water stops.

Unit 2 Examination at Fukushima Daiichi Reveals Horror Show– Worse Situation in Other Reactor Remnants.

28 03 2012

TEPCO put a camera on scope to check out unit 2 (with almost no cooling water).  The radiation is way to high (10x lethal rate) for human activity near the wrecked reactor remains. The fuel is in China Syndrome mode and there doesn’t seem to be a quick response to cool it. There IS a quick response to cool the press.

The Telegraph reports: “The other two reactors that had meltdowns could be in even worse shape. The No. 2 reactor is the only one officials have been able to closely examine so far.”

They also say the other reactors might not be able to be examined because there’s no place to insert the scope(!!) –

“Three Daiichi reactors had meltdowns, but the No. 2 reactor is the only one that has been examined because radiation levels inside the reactor building are relatively low and its container is designed with a convenient slot to send in the endoscope.”
