Fukushima to decontaminate entire city, Yomiuri Shimbun, July 14, 2011:
The Fukushima municipal government likely will decontaminate the city’s entire area in response to the ongoing crisis at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant, according to city government sources. [...]
Fear of radioactive contamination is widespread among the city’s residents as radiation levels in some areas of the city have been confirmed as higher than those within the 20-kilometer-radius no-entry zone surrounding the nuclear power plant. [...]
The city government expects it will take at least several years–and possibly close to 20–to decontaminate the whole city. [...]
Wikipedia: As of 2003, the city has an estimated population of 290,866 [...] Fukushima City is about 63 kilometres (39 miles) north-west of Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant.

We can learn these facts from the developments so far:
The government does not care for its people.
The government will do as it pleases.
It is all about money. Safety last.
No one will even try to hide what they are doing from the people. Data will be corrupted, poison will be fed to children, and no compensation will be paid. Ever.
Saying everything is all right will make it so.
It will all be done in plain sight.
Scientists are part of the problem(don’t worry, be happy)
If the Japanese people have not reacted with outrage to these things so far…they never will.

Such good words on this forum, hard to keep up.
Well, I’ve always defined evil as the epitome of lack of empathy: an inability to realize one’s true connection to the Great Web of Life.
Governments and corporations seem to fit the bill.
Chomksy said somewhere that “States are not moral actors.”, or something like it, almost implying that it is impossible for government to have a conscience.
I disagree. There are governments that are more moral than others, if we assume some benchmark.
Extrapolating, one can imagine the existence of a “moral” government. Perhaps the government of Tibet, or that of the historical Six Nations might be candidates, but one must be fair and assess them on the basis of current realities.
For instance, if we don’t hold Libya, someone else will. And, we may not like the “someone” who does, thus forcing us to choose the lesser of two evils, even though the lesser is probably the greater evil.
I know, they’re still sociopaths, whichever way you look at it.
Sociopath
A sociopath is somebody who exhibits sociopathy, who behaves in a way that suggests a lack of conscience. Unlike the average human, a sociopath does not feel any sense of guilt or remorse when committing morally wrong actions or actions that their society deems unacceptable. Because of this utter lack of fear for the sanctions of society, sociopaths take advantage of the social system and use manipulation and amoral behaviors to obtain their goals. The types of behaviors they exhibit are those that would make someone with a conscience uncomfortable.
Psychopath
Psychopathy (/saɪˈkɒpəθi/[1][2]) is a term which, until the 1980s, formally referred to a personality disorder characterized by the inability to form human attachment[3] and an abnormal lack of empathy, masked by an ability to appear outwardly normal. The publication of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders third edition (DSM-III) changed the name of this mental disorder to antisocial personality disorder, and also broadened the diagnostic criteria considerably by shifting from clinical inferences to behavioral diagnostic criteria.[4] However, the DSM-V working party is recommending a revision of antisocial personality disorder to include “Antisocial/Psychopathic Type”, with the diagnostic criteria having a greater emphasis on character than on behavior.[5] The ICD-10 diagnostic criteria of the World Health Organization also lacks psychopathy as a personality disorder. The 1992 manual included dissocial (antisocial) personality disorder, which encompasses amoral, antisocial, asocial, psychopathic, and sociopathic personalities.[6]
Despite being currently unused in diagnostic manuals, psychopathy and related terms such as psychopath are still widely used by mental health professionals and laymen alike. In particular, NATO has funded a series of Advanced Study Institutes on psychopathy, both before and after the publication of DSM-III. Researcher Robert Hare has been a particular champion of the term; his Hare Psychopathy Checklist is the standard tool for differentiating between those with antisocial personality disorder and the subset who are psychopaths. According to this scale the prevalence of antisocial personality disorder is two to three times that of psychopathy.[7]

The first who attracts the eye, the first in enlightenment, in power and in happiness, is the white man, the European, man par excellence; below him appear the Negro and the Indian. These two unfortunate races have neither birth, nor face, nor language, nor mores in common; only their misfortunes look alike. Both occupy an equally inferior position in the country that they inhabit; both experience the effects of tyranny; and if their miseries are different, they can accuse the same author for them
Remember he was one of the few who had the compassion and intelligence to recognize that both black and brown-pigmented individuals were actually human at a time when our “enlightened” white brethren naturally thought of themselves as “superior”, or ‘better’.
If you study the Iroquois Confederacy and their consitution you’ll see that exactly the opposite was the case. This, despite the optical illusion of supposed technological superiority.
One must keep in mind here that there are several kinds of “intelligence”: mental, emotional, spiritual. The indian way was more wholistic.
The political system of the Iroquois Confederacy was extremely advanced, by any standards. There’s also evidence they gave whitey the idea to join his 13 colonies into a Confederation to form a more powerful union.

TEPCO razed a hill to build Fukushima on low ground
16:05 12 July 2011
Michael Marshall, environment reporter
Japan’s Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant was devastated by a tsunami in March – but before the plant was built the owners had cleared away a 35-metre hill that would have shielded it.
The decision, by the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), was revealed today in the Japan Times:
TEPCO, assuming tsunami 3.1 metres or higher would never hit the coast, cut down the bluff by some 25 metres and erected the plant on artificially prepared ground only 10 metres above sea level… TEPCO further dug below the surface 14 metres more to create underground floors, including those for the turbine buildings, where the emergency diesel generators were installed. The tsunami easily flooded the premises and knocked out the power systems, including those for running the critical reactor core coolant equipment. The meltdowns became inevitable.

This originally appeared in Japan Times at
http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/nn20110712x2.html
It confirms my fears about the “holocene reclaimed land” [manmade landfill] but amplifies them considerably due to (a) blase indifference to seismic risks and (b) cost benefit analysis cost-cutting based on the costs of pumping cooling water up to the top of a relatively safe bluff above the sea – which bluff was demolished in order to save said running costs.
Result being that the landfill liquefied and pipes between the large buildings became stressed and lost watertightness.
As your extract correctly states, much of the construction is actually below sea level, and hence below the groundwater table.
We can therefore make an educated guess as to where the corium is, and has been since it breached the base of the reactors.
Thanks Japan Times, New Scientist, and SteveMT
Report Comment
I’d put in a comment to Japan Times thanking them for the article publicising the faulty design and construction decisions. However I did not fully acknowledge that my original(guesswork) inferences were wrong and overtaken by the JT article.
I feel that the correction I submitted there is equally valid for the opinions I had earlier expressed on enenews so am copying it here. I trust that this will be acceptable to the community.
My previous comment needs a bit of a revision as I came to the earlier conclusion, without the knowledge contained in the current article, that the “holocene reclaimed land” comprised land reclaimed from the sea and my interpretation of liquefaction /on that basis/ is incorrect. I am grateful for the opportunity to acknowledge this.
However, the decision of the builders to extend the foundation to below sea level is very strange. It is possible that just that decision increased the risk to pipework running between the significant installations in the plant.
It also made containment of waterborne contamination impossible.

Is Japan going to decontaminate the radioactive Pacific Ocean?
Report Comment
That would be something to see. It would be a miracle.

No, that is our problem. We must follow directions for the next 2000 years.
Report Comment
Just ask my husband..
I was never good at following directions when driving, somewhere I didn’t know how to get to.
I was never good at following directions when I have had to build furniture that had a 100 pieces to it.
I just don’t see myself being that good at following these necessary directions, for that long.

I think the ocean is already under a snowballing type of effect that might be irreversible.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extinction_event#Sustained_and_significant_global_warming
Since life began on Earth, several major mass extinctions have significantly exceeded the background extinction rate. The most recent, Cretaceous–Tertiary extinction event, which occurred approximately 65.5 million years ago (Ma), was a large-scale mass extinction of animal and plant species in a geologically short period of time. In the past 540 million years there have been five major events when over 50% of animal species died.
Sustained and significant global warming
This would have the opposite effects: expand the area available for tropical species; kill temperate species or force them to migrate towards the poles; possibly cause severe extinctions of polar species; often make the Earth’s climate wetter on average, mainly by melting ice and snow and thus increasing the volume of the water cycle. It might also cause anoxic events in the oceans.
Global warming as a cause of mass extinction is supported by several recent studies.[48]
The most dramatic example of sustained warming is the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum, which was associated with one of the smaller mass extinctions. It has also been suggested to have caused the Triassic-Jurassic extinction event, during which 20% of all marine families went extinct. Furthermore, the Permian–Triassic extinction event has been suggested to have been caused by warming.
Anoxic events
Anoxic events are situations in which the middle and even the upper layers of the ocean become deficient or totally lacking in oxygen. Their causes are complex and controversial, but all known instances are associated with severe and sustained global warming, mostly caused by sustained massive volcanism.
It has been suggested that anoxic events caused or contributed to the Ordovician–Silurian, late Devonian, Permian–Triassic and Triassic–Jurassic extinctions, as well as a number of lesser extinctions (such as the Ireviken, Mulde, Lau, Toarcian and Cenomanian–Turonian events). On the other hand, there are widespread black shale beds from the mid-Cretaceous which indicate anoxic events but are not associated with mass extinctions.

Toshiba develops nuclear decontamination system
Japanese electronics maker Toshiba has developed a system to decontaminate radioactive wastewater at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant from early August.
The system, nicknamed Sarry, was shown to media at a plant in Yokohama on Thursday. It consists of a series of 14 tanks, each 1.4 meters wide and 3.6 meters high.
Minerals put inside the tanks are to absorb radioactive cesium and strontium and reduce levels of radioactivity in contaminated water by a factor of about one million.
A decontamination system in place at the Fukushima plant since June has been accident-prone and running at 73 percent capacity, far below the target of 90 percent.
The new equipment is expected to be used in parallel with or as a supplement to the existing one.
A Toshiba official says the firm made the new system simpler than the existing one by studying problems it developed.
