This was my facebook post a few minutes ago....so MachoGirl it’s time for you to have your first List....lol
Okay...a Fukushima update. Been a few years....lol
Last week you all might have read of the storage tank leaking on property that released contaminated fluids into the ground water. While bad the water was not extremely radioactive.
Today however TEPCO the owner of the now cursed Diiachi reactor complex reported a new radiation leak that is extreme. 1800 milisieverts am hour. Such a reading produces death within four hours.
Here’s the issue though. If the contamination becomes so risky as it would be impossible for TEPCO to send in workers then something very very bad could occur.
Three of the reactors that were damaged from the earthquake and tsunami must be hand cooled with water. That water must be exchanged then stored and it is these storage tanks that have overwhelmed the property. The simply have run out of room for them. The tank construction was sent out to bid so the contract is the cheapest of those that submitted a proposal. So they leak and they leak a lot.
So here’s the danger for the UNITED STATES.....
The reactors if not maintained will overheat and become exposed. So not only is there a real possibility now of what is called the CHINA SYNDROME where by the reactors completely melt, but there is enough heat contained in at least two to start an uncontrolled nuclear reaction.
Despite what is happening in the Middle East this issue must now be brought to everyone’s conscience and we now must demand IAEA involvement.
That item is asinine, and obviously the main cause of the current problem.
Stupid stupid stupid.
Who's the Einstein proudly wearing this decision?
A well written concise summation! :)
Are you saying that it could cause an actual nuclear detonation...ala an atom bomb?
I agree. I claim “noob privilege” as to ping lists. haha
What happens when it seeps into the ground and hits the groundwater (at 2000 degrees). Big underground explosion?
I could barely get my head wrapped around Chernobyl when that happened. I had just graduated from college and was at a job interview watching the coverage of those brave guys dumping concrete or water in the helicopters.
I can wrap my puny head around the Elephant in the room that is Fuku and it is much more than Chernobyl.
The China syndrome only exists in the imagination, it is not real.
