    If the pattern holds true we should see a spike in radiation to follow this event.
    It will be a cruel twist for earthquakes releasing massive emmissions while also learning the coriums themselves have activated in some way the fault lines through the groundwater pressures. What if this continues for a decade or a century or even a month? I mean, just how much radiation can we handle? That’s the million dollar question because we are sure being profoundly radiated. There’s the solar radiation increase as well.

    This belching radiation could go on for years. How much radiation can we take. Food supply and air supply tainted. Good God what a mess.

    Does anyone know how often did earth quakes happened in the Fuki region in the past. Does it seem to be abnormal because we are all watching that region now? If it was always happening, why would they have built the reactors there in the first place? It it was not always so active, what would be the cause of it happening so much now?

    Could Mother Earth be thinking of burying all the Fukushima mess in a thick layer of ashes by suddenly causing a nearby dormant volcano to erupt, or worse, to explode?

    • I am curious also..What if corium reaches down to the lava layers? Will it all get thrown back out and into the air? Will it destroy all of the spent fuel pools in a massive large lava explosion, or will it just bury the whole plant under a thick layer of lava and ash?

      This is all just one huge crazy insane totally out of control international coverup experiment. No one really knows what will happen.

      Some predict that corium hitting groundwater would trigger massive above ground explosions that would destroy the whole FUKU complex. Maybe the corium is exploding underground as water hits the corium, and that is what registers as earthquakes. Certainly, steam has been filmed coming out of the ground. That is not supposed to happen at ANY nuclear power plant. They are NOT cooking hot dogs to celebrate ‘cold shutdown’ down under the ground anywhere.

      Maybe the corium left the reactor containment vessels, melted down into the ground and now it is just exploding underground in nuclear chain reactions, which then look like earthquakes.

      No one knows where these multiple out of control, radiation spewing, nuclear fire raging 65 ton corium blobs are, or what they are doing, or anything about them. It does not seem anyone in the world cares, except for a few folks here..

      Appearance seems to be much more important than reality.. Just like the Italian cruise ship sinking, where the captain kept telling everyone; “Everything is safe, go back to your cabins. We are only experiencing minor electrical problems. Everything is normal”

      Then he said he accidentally fell of the ship into a life raft, as it was sinking.

      Yup, sure sounds like Fukushima to me; in ‘cold shutdown’.. do not worry, everything is ‘normal’ and under control.. Go back to your room. Nothing to see here. Do not send any reporters or journalists. They are not welcome.

  • I am more concerned about what is coming up.. There is a relationship between earthquakes. The more small earthquakes there are in a region, it follows that there are also more LARGE earthquakes in that same region. It takes quite a few small ones to build up to a big one, but there is a relationship; maybe 100 small ones to 1 Big one..

    In areas where there are only a few earthquakes every hundred years, large earthquakes are REALLY uncommon.. But in areas like this, where the small ones seem to be popping off almost daily, a Big earthquake could happen very shortly. Can FUKU take another 8 or 9 scale earthquake, without dumping #4, or breaking some of those water storage tanks, or God knows what other jury rigged things that they have set up over there? What if another Tsunami hits the plant, with all of those highly radioactive tanks and vessels sitting around all over?
