#Fukushima I Nuke Plant: Reactor 2 Containment Vessel May Have Had a Hole Right After March 11 Earthquake, EX-SKF, September 21, 2011:
Yomiuri Shinbun (9/22/2011):
The simulation done by Yasuteru Shibamoto, researcher at Japan Atomic Energy Agency, shows that the Containment Vessel of Reactor 2 at Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant may have been damaged, and had a hole about 7.6 centimeters in diameter right after the March 11 earthquake. [...]
I see. So when the water source was switched from the tank to the suppression pool, the pressure didn’t rise because the Containment Vessel already had a hole in it. Then the suppression pool blew up on March 15.
The article doesn’t say where the hole might be, or exactly when it may have been created and how.

Are they going to dribble the truth through that 3 inch hole? If so, this is going to take longer than 6 more months to get the facts out.

Simulations are in my eyes not trustworthy. Nice effort though.

At this late date, why waste any effort with simulations when they have stark reality staring them right in the face? The radiation must be affecting their thought processes. Money not well spent, time wasted, IMO.
Report Comment
Some people need something to do.. So why not simulate it over and over.. There’s almost a total media blackout going on, and even when they are able to actually look at the containment vessel up close, they won’t release the true scale of this horror.
I’ll bet ya the outer containment of R3 is full holes, and the RPV is totally destroyed.
Like Arnie says, they weren’t designed for a supersonic shock wave.

I’m noticing tons of tweets this a.m. to Alec Baldwin, with reminders that Fukushima is still critical ect, which he knows. Remember he recently had that interview saying all Nuclear is dirty and dangerous @ HP. I applaud those Tweeters this a.m. Their not letting him forget about Japan. (thinking about getting a tweet acct myself)

Bummer. Since 3/11 I’ve continued to ask myself (u prob have too) WHY aren’t more ‘stars’ speaking out about this crisis? They can SEE/READ as well as us. WTH is wrong with everybody? Blows my mind!

Well, like Charlie Sheen, before the Latest debacle,
was one of a very few to be publicly heard criticizing 9/11
bullshit. Apparently thought he was rich enough.

Oh yeah…I remember Sheen doing that. STILL it makes no sense to me, when we’re looking at decades of infant deaths, deformities ect…major sickness all over. All the money in the world couldn’t stop me from screaming to rooftops. If I had a $chance, I’d move from here. I’d go deep down south to escape. Venezuela or…god, there’s nowhere to escape is there?

No electricity to run the pumps.
forget about Fuku, et al…
No Pumps for Gasoline. No power for all the systems

No water pumps, therefore unexpected floods and
a lot of hard work just to get your Bucket of water.

Well Elenin, I have to agree with you. Bad trouble is coming for everyone. Every commodity will be hard to get ect. But I will NOT stop living my life like normal. I just can’t lock myself up with a doom and gloom mindset, ya know? When I DO get sick, and I believe we all will, then I’ll be screaming from my hospital bed it’s from Japan Radiation!!
No way no how. And I DO think it’s coming. I’m sure you heard about Troy Davis this a.m? How many people, esp black people are going to accept this? Not many. Something bad comes this way I’m afraid.

Nuclear energy is inherently dangerous at every level from mining, to extraction¬, to processing¬, to transporti¬ng, to storing spent fuel rods, to fissioning¬, etc. The fuel cycle is also a security risk.

Another comment by Outnow, Sep 20, 2011
“I have taken Kelp Tabs for natural Potasium Iodine and chelated Magnesium and Calcium since mid-March. These are used to block uptake of radioactiv¬e Iodine (131 and 133) by the thyroid and by a lesser extent by the testes and ovaries, and to block some Cesium uptake and Strontium 60 uptake by using “chelating¬” agents. “Chelation¬” means “clawlike” chemical removal of heavy metals from the body.
“The Kelp can be taken without fear of overdose. Potasium Iodine should probably not now be taken unless a physician sees a special reason.
“I eat a cup of Meeker Raspberrie¬s per day to utilize the elagic acid that helps repair the P-53 gene.”

Sigh I hate to be a pain but if anyone starts taking supplements, please opt for vegan or ogranic casings/binders. There is always risk of toxicity due to magnesium stearate(steric acid) binders in vitamins.
In the rush to grab quick cures please do not make yourselves sicker.
In regular language:
http://www.buzzle.com/articles/magnesium-stearate-danger.html
You can look up the regular data yourselves.
Again, all I’m saying is to look at what you are about to ingest before throwing pills down your throats. Once an immune system is lowered it’s best to be very careful what one is ingesting.
Unless you want to speed up your troubles.
Keep up the awesome work Whoopie.
For the backstabbing,gleeful lunatics that think this is a fun game of “keep outsiders to enenews confused”- you people need a higher power. Jesus or Shiva or Buddha or Willie Nelson or something. You remind me of the people that set fires to peoples houses in order to run in and save them.
