Video: Greenpeace Measures EXTREME RADIATION 40KM From Fukushima
I will not discuss the radiation readings mentioned in the video but the camera clearly shows the readings as VERY HIGH.
Expert Says "New Images Reveal Nuclear Fuel Rack Exposed to Air:"
Nothing to see here. Time to move on. And Yada, Yada, Yada
*Ping* !
So, I guess this means that the entire Japanese population will be moving to Hawaii?
Radioactive seawater.
Two words:
God.
Zilla.
They are bringing in a giant concrete machine from the US to pump concrete over the whole place and entomb it I guess like Chernobyl.
I hate it when a ‘Rack’, gets exposed to air! :(
We heard the same thing about TMI. How long did it take before they pulled the reactor vessel out of TMI-1 and shipped it to Idaho for tear-down? Six years.
See, this is why I have a hard time taking this crap seriously. We’ve heard it before.
Again and again and again. From the same hysterical hippies and peaceniks, given to the press in dire, somber tones by highly credentialed, Volvo-driving liberals wearing sensible shoes.
Greenpeace’s video was laughable theatre. There are only two explanations for the crap seen in Greenpeace’s video:
1. They’re so ignorant of what proper safety equipment really is for a hot area, that they’ve just caused themselves huge radioactive exposure and ingestion/inhalation of alpha particles, if they’re actually showing off real danger.
2. They’re depending on the ignorance of the segment of public that listens to their codswallop so as to overlook the errors in their little piece of theatre.
Since I’ll NB that physical courage is not the stuff that French environmentalists and Greenpeace are known for, and the environmental movement is rife with duplicity and mendacity, I’ll take choice “2.”
Do the people whose homes are uninhaabitable in the reactor area get reimbursed for their terrible loss? And if so, by whom?
That gives plenty of time to figure how to build a reactor on the sea coast where the backup power generators can’t be flooded by a tsunami. And maybe even to find some cogernment nuclear power officials who aren’t totally incompetent.

But since the people at the plant were working so hard to put water in the tank, it certainly was possible that the water level dropped below the rods. And there's been a lot of speculation about that.
But you have to remember that the entire water tank is encased in concrete, and that entire concrete encasement's TOP is below the entire blown-off structure. If you look at the video, and see the green equipment, that is the fuel mover, and it's above the floor, and the entire pond is below that floor, and the floor is intact.
Doesn't mean it didn't crack and leak, or the water didn't boil out. Just that you can't see enough from that video to really tell. Fairwinds has an ulterior motive related to how they make their money.
Greenpeace, on the other hand, there's a really good group. And those numbers were really high. 2043. That's a big number. Wish I knew whether I could trust exactly what they were saying about the units of measure.
Media distraction from domestic political and financial crisis
All of the damaged fuel was removed from the TMI reactor about 10 years after the meltdown. The scope of damage to the building is something that we did not have to deal with at TMI, but I don't see how this guy is concluding it will take 100 years. That just seem like wild speculation.
But this will be a significantly bigger effort.
