ooops!
THANKS! I was looking for this!
bttt
This report is contrary to FNC’s report that all is stable on the reactor front.
“Chiba refinery had been hit by a fire in storage tank, and it was still working to extinguish it.”
Well it was a HUGE fire. The tanks blew up, literally, and a mushroom cloud of fire shot up at least several hundred feet if not a thousand feet and lit up the city... It was pretty extreme...
The news report made it sound like no big deal...
trust me the media will blow this into a nuclear disaster, this will help slow reactor developent and building world wide.
FWIW regular FOX is mentioning there are problems cooling a core at a nuke site in Japan but I’ve missed the details.
And if it did, do you think they would tell a panicky Japanese public, or anyone else for that matter?
Prayers for all of Japan in these terrible times.
Japan: trying to fix nuclear plant cooling problem
http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/03/11/japan-quake-reactor-idUSTFD00666420110311
(Reuters) - Japan said on Friday a cooling function at Tokyo Electric Power’s (9501.T) Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant was not working after a major earthquake but that it was trying to get backup power for cooling.
The government has declared an emergency situation as a precaution but there was no radioactive leakage and no damage from the cooling problem was expected at this stage, Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano told a news conference. (Reporting by Chisa Fujioka and Risa Maeda; Editing by Edwina Gibbs)
State of emergency is declared at Japanese nuclear plants
Process for cooling reactor ‘not going as planned’ in wake of quake, administrator says
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/42025882/ns/world_news-asiapacific/
TOKYO — Japan’s top government spokesman and local administrators say emergencies have been issued at two nuclear power plants over cooling-system fears in the wake of Friday’s giant earthquake.
Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano says the nuclear power plant in Fukushima developed a mechanical failure in the system needed to cool the reactor after it was shut down after the earthquake. He said there was no radiation leak.
just wondering... why is the posting time over 5 minutes different than real time? It is 3:56 on my cell/computer,,,but look at my post time!
Two plants now ?
re: details...
I heard from Japan TV that there was no water available to cool one of the Nuclear Power Plants...
Can they just “turn it off?”
Doesn’t sound good!
Prayers.
