They need to take care of their people right now IMO.

It is necessary to understand the mindset of the Japanese government and their perceived projection of control to externally opposing parties.

This is not a new thing.

Truth matters not.

"Tokyo Electric said it was trying to figure out how to maintain water levels in the pools"

Helicopter water drops.

At TMI we didn’t know for five years, until the vessels were opened. It was a shock.”

The shock was that, even with core melt, China Syndrome turned out to be a hoax.

Angel of Wormwood alert.

The mystic Josyp Terelya (Ukrainian), now deceased, explained that in the Bible "wormwood" may mean radiation.

He has written in his books that in the Ukrainian Language, Chernobyl means wormwood

That means that there might be significance to the following passage in the Bible:

Book of Revelation or Apocalypse

Rev 8:10-11

10 The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water--

11 the name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters turned bitter, and many people died from the waters that had become bitter.
(NIV)

The next section is about the 4th angel of chastisement...

Ye who has ears let him hear...

This article is full of crap which is no surprise considering it is the Washpost. For one thing they do not properly describe a melt-down versus some melting which has probably occurred. They are also busy trying to conflate the spent fuel pools with the reactor core to drum up more fear points.

[Straight Vermonter]

At the 40-year-old Fukushima Daiichi unit 1, where an explosion Saturday destroyed a building housing the reactor, the spent fuel pool, in accordance with General Electric’s design, is placed above the reactor.

This is simply not true. There is a pool in the reactor building that is used for rod storage during refueling but long term storage is done at another location on another part of the campus. Since there was no refueling going on for units 1 or 3 there is no fuel stored in these pools.

[topher]

I think the chances are now slim and none to contain the third reactor from uncovering the core and exploding...

Probably safe to say that there is a radioactive cloud headed this way (if winds are West to East).

Good work - bttt
