This should be a ringing endorsement of the safety of nuclear reactors - when properly designed.
This is from one of those releases. It is listed on ticker forum.
* In addition, a vertical earthquake hit the site and big explosion has
happened near the Unit 1 and smoke breaks out around 3:36PM.
Our two employees and two cooperation workers who had been working for the foundation of safety are suffered and they are all sent to the hospital.
Since this guy has been in office, it's been chaos after chaos. He's unlucky or just evil.
You are saying that Japan shouldn’t have nuclear reactors? Where would you properly place a nuclear reactor in Japan?
Wow...What a great spin. I am not buying it. The generators count. They are part of the design.
Wow. That is some clever careful speaking there.
Yeah I read that and was totally confused that they would blame it on a quake but I am trying to find out if an affter shock hit at that time.
Well...
there was that critically accident
On 30 September 1999, at a Japanese uranium reprocessing facility in Tokai, Ibaraki, workers put a mixture of uranyl nitrate solution into a precipitation tank which was not designed to dissolve this type of solution and caused an eventual critical mass to be formed, and resulted in the death of two workers from radiation poisoning.
You can’t fix stupid.
1316: Noriyuki Shikata, deputy cabinet secretary for public relations for the Japanese prime minister tweets: "Blast was caused by accumulated hydrogen combined with oxygen in the space between container and outer structure. No damage to container."
Typical Lefty Union Member style response.
From BBC.
Can you take KI orally? Can you get that at Walgrens?
Pay attention to what the Japanese authorities do not what they say. If they keep expanding the evacuation zone then stock up on on potassium iodine tablets.
“So one melt down in 45 years is acceptable to you?”
There were over 7-million car accidents in the United States in 2010. There were over 35-thousand deaths as a result of those accidents in 2010. Would you ban cars and roads?
No sensible person would.
Oh but energy is a different story altogether when it comes to socialists and liberals. When it comes to sources of energy and energy production, the socialists and liberals lose all credibility.
I guess that is the question but not in an earthquake, tsunami zone.
It’s chilling watching the live TV streams from Japan as their earthquake warning systems go off - right now evidently there is a large aftershock that has just occurred offshore. Their system may give people a few seconds to take cover before the effects are felt.
The video shows the outer containment building blew up do to an apparent hydrogen explosion. The inner reactor vessel evidently remains intact.
All talk of radioactivity is pointless UNLESS you point out the element and the actual radioactive yardstick of said material. Half-life is not a good measurement. Some isotopes have long half lives but are essentially harmless. You would get more exposure from the sun.
Chernobyl's reactor was an air cooled graphite reactor. A really bad design to begin with. Nothing in common with Japan's reactor designs.
I always suggest to someone interested in the subject of nuclear power to read Dr. James Mahaffey’s “Atomic Awakening” as a great primer for combating the lies and misrepresentations.
Here is a trivia question for you all:
The most irradiated spot on Earth is? Hint: It's total exposure equaled a full scale thermonuclear exchange.
Here is another hint: It is a lot closer to CNN than they would think :-)
How many car accidents make large masses of land uninhabitable? How many of them endanger the food supply. How many of them harm people sleeping in their beds?
Iodine doesn’t stop the thyroid from working. In fact the opposite happens. Flooding the thyroid with iodine stops radioavtive I131 from being ansorbed by the thyroid by blocking all iodine receptors.
