For those that have been sleeping all week:

Video: Greenpeace Measures EXTREME RADIATION 40KM From Fukushima

I will not discuss the radiation readings mentioned in the video but the camera clearly shows the readings as VERY HIGH.

So, I guess this means that the entire Japanese population will be moving to Hawaii?

God.

Zilla.

The last time they were pushed to the brink of subsistence (in their mind, embargos of steel exports from the US and lack of food stuffs from other Asian locales, etc.), they got down and dirty and wreaked havoc for years....

That said, I'd rather have the ENTIRE Japanese population relocated here than the illegals we've been allowing to fester here for DECADES.....I'd say that's a good trade, myself....

They are bringing in a giant concrete machine from the US to pump concrete over the whole place and entomb it I guess like Chernobyl.

I do not think that is even a remotely possible option. This radioactive mess cannot be capped with concrete so I guess the reactors will remain leaking into the sea and open air for the time being. Or for many years ___ ?

In the meantime:

You did not read the article. It clearly says that is NOT possible for Fukushima:

Both experts agree capping the damaged reactors with concrete is not an option . . .

We heard the same thing about TMI. How long did it take before they pulled the reactor vessel out of TMI-1 and shipped it to Idaho for tear-down? Six years.

See, this is why I have a hard time taking this crap seriously. We’ve heard it before.

Again and again and again. From the same hysterical hippies and peaceniks, given to the press in dire, somber tones by highly credentialed, Volvo-driving liberals wearing sensible shoes.

Greenpeace’s video was laughable theatre. There are only two explanations for the crap seen in Greenpeace’s video:

1. They’re so ignorant of what proper safety equipment really is for a hot area, that they’ve just caused themselves huge radioactive exposure and ingestion/inhalation of alpha particles, if they’re actually showing off real danger.

2. They’re depending on the ignorance of the segment of public that listens to their codswallop so as to overlook the errors in their little piece of theatre.

Since I’ll NB that physical courage is not the stuff that French environmentalists and Greenpeace are known for, and the environmental movement is rife with duplicity and mendacity, I’ll take choice “2.”

Detroit needs an influx of ambitious, industrious people.

I'm amazed at your pathetic attitude -- NOT !

Those very brave people risked their lives to record radiation live on the scene in a "safe area" 35 KM away from Fukushima. And you call them "hysterical hippies and peaceniks . . . " The Geiger Counter clearly showed radiation FAR above safe limits.

Your ignorance is reflecting Ann Coulter's:

LOL LOL !

Do the people whose homes are uninhaabitable in the reactor area get reimbursed for their terrible loss? And if so, by whom?

Well then why is a billion dollar cement pumper being sent to Japan? The article I read said after its done it will be toast because it will be so radioactive. I can only assume they are going to pump cement on the reactor with it. Otherwise why would it be radioactive?

That gives plenty of time to figure how to build a reactor on the sea coast where the backup power generators can’t be flooded by a tsunami. And maybe even to find some cogernment nuclear power officials who aren’t totally incompetent.

Japan is still claiming all is well and have not issued evacuation orders in the so-called safe areas. Click on that Greenpeace link above because its eye opening.

IMPO the corporate owner of Fukushima -- TEPCO -- common stock will be imploding again early next week.

Corrupt leaders or misguided officials trying to make light of a situation that is worse than Chernobyl
