Paul C. Gailey, Ph.D., President & CEO, Holophi CH AG: You see very little written about these [reactors that have meted down]…

For a while people were talking about the molten mixture of isotopes they call corium…

What’s happening with this? Where is this?

I’ve read very little about it… I find that … not good…

I do feel very strongly it’s another issue that should be studied intently, and we should all be hearing about it.

Mroe from Gailey: 'Special Report': Plutonium levels suggest fuel rods were shattered during hydrogen explosions

“Paul Gailey, Ph.D. holds advanced degrees in physics and engineering. His expertise and work spans dozens of disciplines in the physical, biological and health sciences and engineering [...] Visiting Scholar, Earth Institute, Columbia University [...] Visiting Researcher, University of Frieburg [...]” -Source

    Do I genuflex now or later? Tell us something we didn't already know.

    Yes, I have a very long list of questions that I would like answers to regarding Fukushima. I suppose some scientist demanding them is perhaps of some help though…

    Holophi Special Report–April 2012
    Estimating the Potential Impact of Failure of
    the Fukushima Daiichi Unit 4 Spent Fuel Pool
    A Local Problem for Japan or a Global Mega Crisis?

    http://www.holophi.ch

    "..Estimated Amounts of Radioactive Material
    Operation of a nuclear plant produces a number of radioactive isotopes. For this
    preliminary potential impact analysis, we will focus primarily on cesium,strontium, and
    plutonium, while noting that other radioisotopes are also of concern. Cesium and strontium are easily absorbed in plants and animals similarly to potassium and calcium,
    respectively. Their movement through the biosphere and long half lives (years to decades) mean that they represent substantial health hazards are relatively low concentrations. Plutonium is not as soluble and easily distributed in the environment, but is extremely carcinogenic when inhaled or ingested…"

    "..The results of Buesseler et al.,2012 suggest that ocean contamination resulting from the March 2011 release should not present an immediate hazard either for humans or the ocean environment. However, that paper does not address the greater bioaccumulation that occurs in larger fish,or the effects of other important isotopes such as strontium.
    Cesium and strontium, in particular,move easily through sea life.."

      Good link, Arc. Buessler & Co. didn't take the possible Fullerene effect into consideration. It is, nonetheless, great that Buessler and Co. did the research. At least someone is analyzing ocean contamination.

    If you look real close, in this video below, you can see a large part of one of the coriums, being dispersed, all over the northern hemisphere…

    where is the corium?

    where is the radiation..?

    what harm does the radiation do..?

    90 cancer victims bring lawsuit against nuclear power plant operators

    "Patricia Ameno, a plaintiff in a previous round of litigation, told Post-Gazette reporter Rich Lord that, due to health problems,

    “A lot of people have lost not only their entire savings but their homes.”

    Families have been torn apart by illnesses and deaths, she said."

    and this

    "…So it is with the news of radioactive material released into the air — at levels higher than any seen in the nation — at closed nuclear fuels plants in Armstrong County.

    Incredulity feeds the first reaction: Surely this could not have happened. But apparently it did, according to good authority. That would be Joseph P. Ring, a Harvard University radiation safety officer who teaches at Harvard and the University of Massachusetts. He
    wrote a 37-page report that was filed Tuesday as part of federal lawsuits brought against plant operators Babcock & Wilcox Co. and Atlantic Richfield Co. by about 90 cancer victims…"

      Thank you arclight for the information and a new site for me to visit. People are tending to disbelieve that the Japanese nuclear disaster will affect them, I read it in comments far to frequently. I sent this article to friends who have responded positively to the materials regarding Japan. I have asked that they send it to other people. Perhaps if people realize that the nuclear industry in our nation is making us ill and causing death they will become more involved. The idea that our own government and energy industry will safeguard our well being needs to be changed by spreading the reality of our situation.

    The corium has left the building and will not be returning, but will be coming to your house soon.

    Yikes. I still don't understand how most people can be so impartial to something like this. Then it occurred to me that people just don't know. Either they don't understand the magnitude of the situation or that it's not in the news enough. I helped bring my boy into this world with the best of intentions, but if this is the crap he's gonna have to put up with, I apologize, little dude…
