Finally the truth comes out. I knew it. This goes out to all the freepers that were accused of being "Conspiracy Theorist".

It's okay folks to ask questions, and not buy what you are being told.

TEPCO use Jay Carney for their spokesgirl.

Like with OBL and the weather. Wait a few hours and it changes.

Actually much worse then just one complete core meltdown. Looks like three have completely melted their cores.

From the Ex-SKF blogger who is still in the process of translating a recent Japanese news article.

Asahi Shinbun, one of the MSM in Japan, says in the article published at 3:01AM JST 5/17/2011 that core meltdown may have occurred in the Reactors 2 and 3 at Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant, according to the data that TEPCO disclosed on May 16.

They are still analyzing the recent data dump.

I guess we weren’t so crazy after all, thinking this was a lot more serious than the “experts” here were telling us.

Lesson: Trust your bellyometer:)

Continued good wishes and prayers for Japan.

the issue is the evironuts will use this as a reason why we should shut down nuclear power plants susceptible to earthquakes yet once again the article points out the tsunami did the damage after the plant withstood the earthquake...

Tokyo Electric Power Co. (TEPCO) admitted for the first time on May 15 that most of the fuel in one of its nuclear reactors at the Fukushima No. 1 Nuclear Power Plant had melted only about 16 hours after the March 11 earthquake struck a wide swath of northeastern Japan and triggered a devastating tsunami.

So what? The fuel is slag in the bottom of a containment vessel.......is everyone on the West coast dead yet?

I love how these articles are written.

“...admits...”

They got a sea full of water dumped in on their heads, electrical instrumentation doubtless failed. Now that they’re getting instrumentation back online and replaced/repaired/supplanted, data that comes out from the new instrumentation is an “admission.”

What a pantload of fertilizer these liberal arts majors are in the press. They couldn’t even describe to me (or any other engineer or physicist) what the difference between ionizing radiation and non-ionizing radiation is, and now they’re acting all prosecutorial in the press.

Morons.

BTW - this development is consistent with what happened in Three Mile Island: The TMI core slagged down in the early hours of the situation, and all the henny-penny run-in-circles-scream-and-shout for days afterwards was utterly superfluous. When they got the reactor vessel out to Idaho Falls, they found that there was a wad of material on the bottom of the reactor vessel and that it was nowhere near the point of breaching the vessel.

I also pointed this out here on FR - ie, that TMI’s reactor had slagged down and was resting on the bottom of the vessel, and came nowhere close to melting through.

Ex-SKF just finished his translation and blog posting of the recent news from Japan. Looks like complete core meltdown in 1,2 and 3. Just reported in Japanese to their people.

there never was a doubt the jamapanese were lying. They always lied at that power plant.

The only new information is the when they knew.

Another “sneak attack” no less.
