@tokuyamamura きっとそうでし。ホントはいま4号機側にカメラあるでし。4号機南側のスタック上部にカメラがあって現場はそれ見てるでし。

Tweet by Fukushima worker @Happy11311 summarized by EXSKF:
[...] the fabric cover over the Reactor 1 building is only cosmetic, and nothing to do with preventing the radioactive materials from escaping. There was a talk, presumably from the contractors, to build a more permanent structure (more like the one they are building for Reactor 4) but that was shot down by TEPCO over the cost concerns. They wanted the badly damaged Reactor 1 building out of sight of the live cam, he says.

This whole Fuku situation is just entropy on steroids!!!
They can't go 48 hours without ratcheting up the FUBAR factor.
The idea that a building to cover one of these reactors is "too expensive" is just so pathological.
Yet another reminder to not get an MBA.

From day one they put cover, we know it is a joke.
Same practice as they fly paper kites to stop B-29 during WW2.

If true about it being cosmetic, and cost the factor ..seems the U.S. would pitch in. Or other countries as well, since we all breath the same air.

So, the ones who said it was just a big "circus tent" were correct after all.

Not a surprise for those of us who have watched and documented Fukushima over the past year. We saw Reactor 1s damage, and the fast coverup. No way they could have done internal work..it would have been seen one way or another. Just a sheet over a dead body….in the morgue called Fukushima.

*disclaimer – biting sarcasm beware!*
so they put a tent and some lego bricks around a bust nuclear power stations… this is hardly anything i have ever taken for a serious measure in order to prevent any spillages.
maybe next time they try to call in the power rangers or gandalf to sort their issues out?
but seriously, the whole issue was so shockingly bad handled that i certainly lost all faith in governments all over the world. if the japanese government with it's great advanced technologies cannot fix that no king or all his men will get humpty together again.

TEPCO is run by a bunch clowns and this is only the beginning. For starters, maybe they can ask GE for their money back.
After initial efforts to contain Chernobyl, Russia went broke and left cleanup to others. Contributors now building a NSC…see link
http://www.world-nuclear-news.org/WR-Construction_starts_on_new_Chernobyl_cover-2604124.html
"…assembly of the New Safe Confinement (NSC) structure. This arched structure – some 108 metres high, 257 metres wide and 150 metres long – will be assembled on concrete rails and slid into place over the broken buildings of Chernobyl 4, which was destroyed by the steam and hydrogen explosions that followed a power excursion in April 1986. Some 20,000 tonnes of steel will be used in the structure's construction, the first batch of which was delivered to site last month.
The hermetically sealed NSC will allow engineers to remotely dismantle the hastily constructed 'sarcophagus' that has shielded the remains of the reactor from the weather since the weeks after the accident. The stability of the sarcophagus has developed into one of the major risk factors at the site, and its potential collapse threatens to liberate more radioactive materials. A project to shore up the structure was completed in mid-2008 but the NSC would reduce the consequences of a collapse while also allowing the sarcophagus to be taken apart under controlled conditions…"

Wasn't Arnie trying to give an explaination about the tent…he said it would funel radioactive air up and out of the area to allow workers on the ground some protection from the radiation…hmmmmmm?
Report Comment
I think he made clear somewhere that the tent is NOT to protect us, it's to protect the workers there.
Emissions would still go up out of the stack.
Report Comment
Yes he made it clear that there was some reason other than cosmetic….hmmmm, maybe it has a use beyond covering the truth?????
Report Comment
The purpose was to get the radioactive material up into the stack where it could be vented, if I remember what Arnie G. said correctly.

Yes.

German Report on Fukushima, Interview with ex PM Kan
Excellent video, German reporters in Japan, investigating Fukushima.
For anyone doubting how the Nuke Cartel operates, this is the smoking gun.
The whole lies, report fabrications, regulatory capture, are laid bare in this sub-titled report. At minutes 11 and 16 ex Prime Minister Kan details in no uncertain terms how the Nuclear Village operates through lies, extortion, personnel insertions into government and then back into TEPCO.
This is coming right from the top. This has been reviewed by a Japanese national who is also fluent in English and they agree that the translation is absolutely correct.

GREAT video, thanks. At the end, the interviewers ask the Tepco engineers if they have taken into consideration 5,000 or 6,000 gal forces when considering what structural improvements to make in reinforcing Reactor building #4 at Fukushima Daichi. The answer: a long period of utter silence, with the one engineer tightly clenching his white-knuckled fists. When asked, "Do you really think Tepco is ready to safely run nuclear reactors?" the answer was (again after a very long silence), "That is a very difficult question." Then silence once again.
We're so very sorry we're unable to lie on camera before the international audience, so very sorry.

The 5,000 or 6,000 G-force accelerations (ground acceleration movement) that could be generated in the next big Japanese earthquake, that is.

I'm not saying 5,000 or 6,000 G's, but measured at 5,000 or 6,000 gals (probably seismology terminology).

Great video.
"they built the vapor reactor upside down"
"Tepco simply falsified the reports"
"more than 100 Japanese members of parliament received money from Tepco"
"1300 spent fuel rods on level 4 and above them the new rod are stored"
"an open air meltdown would be the end of Japan, Armageddon"
"mankind should learn from this story"
Many thanks. All should view it.

Fukushima Crisis Total Cost Up To $10 TRILLION Dollars; via A Green Road Blog

Why bother fixing anything, protecting anyone, or building any covers that are more than paper when there is no money left?
Everyone has borrowed to the hilt, and printed funny money on top of that to keep it all going and looking 'normal', but underneath it is all gone.
It is like a bandaid over a gaping chest wound, with holes in the heart plugged by fingers. The doctors all know the patient is dead, but they tell the patient 'You will be fine'.

Is Fukushima really in cold shutdown? via A Green Road Blog

Report Comment
June 13,2012 The structures around the buildings are used as a chimney to direct the radiation high into the air so less will fall around the plants, then they will later tell us that high radiation farther from the plant must have been there before the meltdowns, after all the radiation is lower closer to the plant. I have posted 10 days after they put up the walls that USA, Canada, etc should demand that Japan take down the walls so we will get less radiation but at that time thought was radiation would be so little in North America that it does not matter. Maybe this time someone will read this that can make changes.
