On The Verge Of Nuclear Meltdown Within ‘Few’ Hours

Is that the whole language for those who face the mutations that come when radiation is added to the mix. Are we there yet?

What the hell. Why is it so hard to get accurate and validated reports?

Who turned out to be right about 'Love Canal'? Are you taking in the 'protect your assets first' mentality. Name one man-made disaster where the victims were 'over-compensated' by some court in the last 30 years. Exxon is an example where they just won't pay it even though guilt was easy to establish. If the clean-up costs always lands in the lap of the tax-payer then why do they have so little input into what measures are taken to avoid a cost that is always very large and mostly avoidable. Even in Japan if durability of the plant was to the point that it would have been able to be fully contained (not the same as saved for future use). That extar expense would have already been paid through higher utility rates or whatever, point being it would have been 1,000's of times safer and cheaper for what might be 1% of the clean-up costs, if it can even be cleaned up.

The fact that it will be self-heating might have something to do with that new taste issue.

I hear that Toyota's going to bring out a nuclear-powered Prius. Built in Japan only, and the fuel source is built right into the car...

Let me guess, it picks up radiated energy from the human occupants, works only in Japan and certain areas of Iraq. (at the moment)

Enjoy it while you can. Even CSI shows make an attempt at lightening the severity of the situation. I've heard that the ones who laugh out loud when getting really bad news are actually letting out anxiety rather than having a 'crude personality' where they actually find the misfortunes of others as being truly humerus.

Fissile material

A -- that is capable of undergoing -- after capturing low-energy thermal (slow) --. Although sometimes used as a synonym for --, this term has acquired its more-restrictive interpretation with the limitation that the nuclide must be fissionable by thermal neutrons. With that interpretation, the three primary fissile materials are uranium-233, uranium-235, and plutonium-239. This definition excludes -- and -- that have not been --, or have only been irradiated in --.

Fission (fissioning)

The splitting of an --, which releases a considerable amount of energy (usually in the form of heat) that can be used to produce electricity. Fission may be spontaneous, but is usually caused by the -- of an atom becoming unstable (or “heavy”) after capturing or absorbing a --. During fission, the heavy nucleus splits into roughly equal parts, producing the nuclei of at least two lighter elements. In addition to energy, this reaction usually releases -- and two or more daughter neutrons.

Cost. Responsibility. Damage control. Management. Public Relations. Spin. Secrecy. Certain Conspiracy. Why is a very bad question right now when so much has to be done to protect the guilty from the victims.

If they told the truth would anyone still want to live anywhere near a reactor? Would their be panic? Would money govts don't have go towards inspection and refitting of antiquated facities or is it cheaper to slap on a another band aid and stay quiet?

Well certainly the priority is to protect investment and the economy. Villagers can be imported if there are to be shortages. Japan can rebuild form this God, Natural, Unforseen, Completely surprising, totally unexpected, ****up.

Global warming, platonics, extreterristrial interference, Jooos, banks, capitalism, communism, gerbils.

Does that answer your question?

Same goes with Northern SK. I sat on a "feasability study" board in regards to doing more resource development and onsite refinement of 235. When it came to public health concerns a number of projected deaths was tossed on the table. At that point one of our lovely caring non-rascist members of the Fed Govt piped up and said " who cares about 20-30 dead Indians a year?"

Why should dead people stop developement that will help them in the long run?

If I get the jest of the above it is saying that you should not shoot plutonium with uranium. What is the cocktail when plutonium 'snow' comes in close contact with DU in it's hard state and in it's 'powered' form? Are the people of Iraq going to get double checks from the world, one for the uranium and the other for the plutonium. Somebody was saying some door seals on modern passenger jets are made of DU. That should be the first interaction, if there is on that is.

How come you put Jews and banks so close together, you have a hidden agenda or something?

Meltdown is a catch phrase which implies a sustained reaction of fissle materials which burn uncontrollably.

I didn't see the connection until you just pointed it out!

That does not surprise me that you would equate Joos with the banks.

Be thankful that lawn-chair is not on the beach over there. Apparently the bodies washing up are too contaminated to gather or burn.

What is the sign that milk is radioactive? Perhaps they can come up with a color code for contamination. Instead of butter fat being the item in big letterers it will be the 'Glow Factor'.

Somebody should warn them that when a Bankster puts his arm around you and grins, ...... that does not always mean your day just got better. Other than that no reason to connect them as being 'special' to each other.

The reactors are still melting? Looks like it is not over yet.


TOKYO (AP) — Radioactive debris from melted fuel rods may have seeped deeper into the floor of a Japan's tsunami-hit nuclear reactor than previously thought, to within a foot from breaching the crucial steel barrier, a new simulation showed Wednesday.
The findings will not change the ongoing efforts to stabilize the reactors more than eight months after the Fukushima Dai-ichi plant was disabled, but they harshly depict the meltdowns that occurred and conditions within the reactors, which will be off-limits for years.
The plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Co. said its latest simulation showed fuel at the No. 1 reactor may have eroded part of the primary containment vessel's thick concrete floor. The vessel is a beaker-shaped steel container, set into the floor. A concrete foundation below that is the last manmade barrier before earth.

It may not. Its a simulation. Who knows how good or bad it actually is in there since they can't actually look.

I would think some sort of robotic camera inside the reactor would have been a useful addition to the reactor for situations like this one.
