We don't need bullsh*t and panic-mongering.
What type of reactor was this one?
How is it cooled?
What are the principal radioactive isotopes thought to have escaped, in what quantities, and on what substrate (steam, dust, debris)?
What are the half-lives of each of the isotopes?
Where are the prevailing winds?
THINK before you mouth off.
Figure dilution AND the path of the prevailing wind currents, too.
Here, read up before promoting panic, mmmkay?
Kyodo News Agency: Three people exposed to radiation at Fukushima nuclear plant following explosion triggered by earthquake
So there is definitely leaks.
“the earthquake pushed it right up out of the ground”
So the town is in the air?
Grammer people, grammer.
Just shows we are absolutely powerless against Mother nature.
you’re hardly one to talk when you can’t spell. lol.
Go watch a slasher flick while bungee jumping to calm your system down a little. ;-)
Or, if you're married, wake your spouse and tell them the world is ending, but you should just have time for...you know.
Cheers!
Sure it can, if it is pushed by a LOT of other water, as in a tsunami...
But the effect is only temporary.
Cheers!
I had to read some of the other posts to find out if you were kidding. How about spelling, too? It’s grammar, not “grammer”. I wouldn’t have said anything, but it was kind of funny.
sorry when you fast write, you do make grammatical errors, i do apologise to all the anally retentive people concerned.
What i meant to say was, the earthquake apparently pushed the whole area upwards by a few metres, thats probably why the whole town collapsed.
Yeah, the whole town was pushed up into the air and is now missing along with 10,000 people. Right, that makes sense, they're floating in the air, in orbit, catapulted away somewhere else.... The value of your sensationalistic information to any reasond mind is actually less than 0. So please reformat your information into a rational explanation which conforms to accepted laws of physics so people can gain something from it.
Hello GW.... read today:
The powerful earthquake that unleashed a devastating tsunami Friday appears to have moved the main island of Japan by 8 feet (2.4 meters) and shifted the Earth on its axis.
“At this point, we know that one GPS station moved (8 feet), and we have seen a map from GSI (Geospatial Information Authority) in Japan showing the pattern of shift over a large area is consistent with about that much shift of the land mass,” said Kenneth Hudnut, a geophysicist with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).
Reports from the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology in Italy estimated the 8.9-magnitude quake shifted the planet on its axis by nearly 4 inches (10 centimeters
LOL!
look if you are gonna criticize just make sure you don’t catch yourself out , who made you the GRAMMAR (yes thats how you spell it) police.
Cooling with Hydrogen doesn’t sound like such a good idea to me.
Generally it is, right up to the instant when it isn’t...
