Reactor 3 at Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant has melted down to the outside. The government of Japan, a week too late, has admitted the accident is now worse than Three Mile Island. It is still spiraling out of control and getting worse. If you think it’s inappropriate or premature to compare this to Chernobyl, […] All workers were ordered inside as a plutonium reactor teetered on the edge of control. Repairs to electric power are being slowed by radioactive rubble in the way from previous explosions. Despite the media’s downplaying of this event, nuclear reactors are now emitting radioactive gases from the inside in a way that is not in […] This is the English article in Der Spiegel, supposedly the explosive photos will only be in the print edition but I’m sure they will make their way onto the internet shortly. On Wednesday, as radiation steadily rose, TEPCO executives tried to obtain permission for their employees to abandon the plant and leave it to the Japanese and US military. The plan was vetoed. Fifty people are risking their lives attempting to work here to save Japan and Asia from massive radiation contamination. This is a sad day for both Japan and the United States, a great alliance. The United States bombed Japan with nuclear weapons, then worked for decades to force nuclear power on its population. Now a US-designed power plant has failed after a natural disaster, and the US urges its citizens to evacuate, leaving millions […] They are completely dry, according to the Chairman of the NRC. This means they are burning, venting into the air through the semi-destroyed building. These rods are normally kept in perpetuity under 20 feet of regularly circulating water. The pool for #3 is “not cooling properly and temperature is rising” says the operator, and “#5 […] Although the design of the reactors now in trouble in Japan was a subject of controversy since at least 1972 when a ban was considered in the US, here is a reminder that the controversy has continued ever since. American regulators began identifying weaknesses very early on. In 1972, Stephen H. Hanauer, then a safety […] How bad is it? Workers are trapped inside the control room, the most heavily shielded place in the complex. A helicopter flight over the plant to desperately drop water on burning, radiation-spewing fuel rods was aborted due to high levels of radiation detected in the air above the plant. A regulation has been changed, upping […] Apparently fuel rods are still burning atop one or more reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary says that the smoke is coming from the #3 reactor and they don’t know why. He said “the most likely case” is that this is radioactive gas coming from inside the reactor. […] |
