Stay safe. Prayers up.
“CNN’s live report is being understated, saying a small explosion and small leak of cesium, maybe from one rod.”
And even if that is true, and the evidence highly suggests it is not. Then tell me how you continue to cool the rest of the rods in such an environment. I hope that some people actually think about that. I mean now you even have to worry about how to keep people at the reactors next to it. Because they will likely be dead in short order if they remain.
Right now, everyone in Hawaii and the west coast of the USA needs to be taking KI
NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
If that was the meltdown, it’s the worst nuclear event since Chernobyl.
Potassium Iodide.
Post haste,
what is KI?
:}
I'm in Seattle. What's KI?
A couple of hours ago they did say on NHK that the water level they were using was dropping low.

Could be intense heat rays loaded with infrared light coming off the oddly shaped rods. Pink has always been an odd color in nature. I have seen pinks and purples that were close to blue light. Violet for example looks a little blue pink at times. Probably just camera/tv problems.
I wonder if dangerous levels of radioactivity can travel 5000 miles???
The effect on pacific economies such as australia and new zealand is likely to be felt for a long time. But we will all pull together and rebuild.
They are preparing iodine now for the population according to NHK, Tokyo.
Potassiom iodide
Or eat a quarter pounder and a banana.
No apology necessary FRiend. You take care.
With you all in prayer.

Probably depends on the radiation levels and the willing sacrifice of the workers. Hopefully the others shut down properly.
Per FOX a few minutes ago the IAEA is urgently requesting info from Japanese authorities- they can’t get a handle on this.
Iodine is being distributed per CNN streaming

The reactor is a far smaller one, and there is no sign of fire. Much on the radiation would disperse in the sea. If the problem remains just with #1, I don’t think that is correct.
0857: The BBC’s Nick Ravenscroft was on his way towards Fukushima, but about 60km from the plant was stopped by the police and told it was too dangerous to proceed. He says there is lots of traffic coming in the other direction. Authorities in vehicles with sirens are making public announcements to the crowds.
What is your problem?
What do you think it means, that they are telling people stay indoors, do not eat food that has been left out, remove clothing before going indoors...that is absolutely instructions for nuclear fallout.
And when I get to my ‘shelter in place’, I won’t let you in...
