    slowly the reality becomes apparent. They cannot entomb the reactors because nobody can get near them.Yesterday an “expert” was recommending that contam. water be put aboard a supertanker…then what do we do with 10,500 t radioactive water AND a red hot supertanker??? Any equipment used to handle the materials becomes deadly…remember those burns from water contact?…now 2 fatalities..near water…notice how the “leak” was fixed pretty soon after the “venting”? …60,000t even hotter waste right behind it..(remember that figure of millionsX,later “corrected”)….hang on to ya hat!…..Peace.

    This guy better stay out of hot tubs. Telling the truth about ongoing disasters can be fatal.

    It was plain as day seeing reactor three blow straight up out of a cylindrical container that it was the reactor blowing up in a steam explosion taking the fuel pool and everything else above with it. TEPCO has lied and covered up the extent and seriousness of the situation. Humanity will have to do away with the nuclear industry or it will do away with humanity.

      They have been showing videos here and elsewhere for 2 weeks of the pools being blown everywhere onside the buildings, screw what they are saying in their reports, seeing is believing, like the explosions we saw over 3 weeks ago, the fuel rods being blown through the air to kingdom come !

      “a steam explosion”
      They claim it was a “hydrogen explosion”
      Happens when the pressure cooker gets to hot and boils all the water out of the cooker, ‘REACTOR’ these things went with out water for over a day to longer, then outside water was sprayed to try to cool ! Some only last week got water in them and then stopped for it was leaking out of the containment vessel !

    I had downloaded the animated gif. “Ethereal blue flash” on my hard drive and when I opened to play it I noticed that in the foreground were 2 blue embers, one much bigger then the other, Now we know that everyone has been evacuated from these areas, so these very well be parts of critical fusion taken place that were blow far from the plant ! Go DL the gif. of alternating day light and night on your HD, then play it. You will see them in the fairground, so they must be emitting a lot of energy and isotopes ! I also believe that many particles as these were blown into the sea near the plant ! How do they clean that up ??? Someone needs to tell these folks look in the area where these blue lights are !

    Highly radioactive pieces from the spent fuel pools were blown up to a mile away

    I think the water from crack was only part of the contamination.
    Much seawater put on the reactors and spent fuel pools were caked in plutonium dust and pieces (as photos showed) that were flushed down to the sea as the cooled the areas overflowed and down to the sea !

    I am afraid that the explosions hurled much of the spent fuel rods into the surrounding waters of the plants, so this will continue to increase in levels “higher and higher for many many years” ! There is NO sort of containment and has not been since the explosions !

    night photo 16fda5e1-s enlarge with preview, you will see the two in the woods and I have blown up much larger and notice much smaller ones in more areas ! Another is below the reactor blue, another is in the water area or on the jetty. There are fragments in clusters around smaller on in the woods !

    How long will it take for other countries to go do the job of capping these reactors in Japan? Either Japan Can’t or Won’t! This is certinaly a time for action.

    End to Japan nuke crisis is years, a fortune away
    “The best solution is to entomb the site for 40, 50, 60 years,” said Arnold Gundersen, who wrote part of the Energy Department manual on decommissioning and runs the U.S.-based environmental consulting company Fairewinds Associates.
