This is a key to an argument that is always false; “yet modern medicine does not seem concerned”.

"No one could have foreseen an event like that tsunami."

Exactly...…..recently, at least.

Hundreds of yards UPHILL from the reactor stand ancient stone monuments. They were placed there centuries ago. Written in archaic weather beaten kanji are the words: "Tsunami warning. Nothing is to be built below this elevation."

[Joe 6-pack]

"No one could have foreseen an event like that tsunami."

Many Japanes coastal hillsides are dotted with "Tsunami Stones," hundreds of years old to both memorialize those killed and to serve as an admonition and warning not to build below a certain elevation.

Humans are vain, and we tend to disregard ancient wisdom simply because it is ancient, overlooking the fact that it is also wise.

[Pontiac]

You are insane. “ Readings inside the containment vessel of reactor no. 2 are as high as 530 Sieverts per hour, a dosage that would be fatal dozens and dozens of times over if a human were to be exposed to it.”

And standing in the caldera of an erupting volcano is instantly fatal. What is the point?

No one is going there.

Fukishima is a man-made disaster. A volcano is a natural disaster. Both are no go zones.

[Concentrate]

Fukushima happened due to an act of God; an earthquake and a massive tsunami accompanying it. There was nothing more they could have done to protect that power plant, and I understand that it was up to par when it came to safety.

Not true at all. They could have built the reactors higher up on the hillside. The problem with that was that they would have to have built expensive cooling towers on the hillside as well.

So now, we have a Pacific ocean that is dying. Lovely.Not to mention Tokyo, which is only 80 kilometers away. With friends like us, who needs enemies?

GE... We bring good things to life! (really death)

[Concentrate]

Engineers don’t try to predict what might happen, they design systems like this with sufficient redundancy that the worst case failure modes do not occur.

Yeah, like building back up generators on the ground where, if a tsunami did occur, they would be inundated and useless in 3 days. Nice. GE.

Power that would be too cheap to meter. Gotcha!

Atoms for peace!

And we have hundreds of these effin' things all over the world!

And no safe storage for spent fuel rods for ANY of them. Nice going.

Oh, now you’re talking about plastic.

Stick to one subject.

[Concentrate]

No, I’m talking about radioactive isotopes. Plastic is another, different danger. Not the same. Try to pay attention.

Well said and worth remembering. Thanks!

Readings inside the containment vessel of reactor no. 2 are as high as 530 Sieverts per hour,

I would stay out of it, then.

[Paco]

Thank you Laz! You took the words right outta my mouth and beat me to the post! ;o)

[Larry Lucido]

Looks like graph-ite.

[campaignPete R-CT]

I was contaminated by Chernobyl & survived. Only to become mortally ill due to drinking Pacific seawater.

Very sad.

[Larry Lucido]

No one could have foreseen an event like that tsunami.

No one expected the Spanish Inquisition, either.

[Ikeon]

Working in the commercial nuclear power field and being friends with people who volunteered to go to fukashima .

I can say from what I have heard, the japanese were just apeing nuclear power operations, construction and maintenance.

They had very little knowledge of why things were done and built the way they were. Instead they relied on watching and doing what everyone else was doing.

IOW they were basically YouTube qualified to run nuclear power plants.. They were highly educated but had zero questioning attitude. a cultural STRONG cultural thing in japan. Y'all's get a warm fuzzy from that?

[moovova]

“Actually, I did. My ESP warned me of it...”

Any sense of the track results for the young filly “Rare Breed” in the sixth at Pimlico?

[Pontiac]

No, I’m talking about radioactive isotopes. Plastic is another, different danger. Not the same.

Well, you confused me when you started talking about the Pacific Ocean dying.

You do know how big the Pacific is don’t you?

And all of the water discharged you Fukishima is processed so as to meet discharge permit requirements. Low activity.

It is costing a lot of money.

“The article also has some technical BS. “

The article has a lot of hype to scare along with the technical BS.

Thanks for the info, 21twelve. Coincidentally, I just finished reading Adam Higginbotham's Midnight in Chernobyl. Absolutely horrifying . . . haphazard planning, shoddy workmanship in its construction, a long record of small (unreported) "events," then the inevitable meltdown. The Russian and Ukrainian clean-up crews went thru hell, while higher-ups passed blame amongst themselves and compusively lied to the West -- as commies are wont to do.

I used to work with someone who was sent to help with Fukushima cleanup. He was not pleased.
