Removing fuel from Fukushima Nos. 3, 4 reactors to be given priority, Kyodo, July 16, 2011:
In a new road map for restoring the plant ravaged by the March earthquake and tsunami, [the government and Tokyo Electric Power Co] will also specify for the first time that it will take up to three years to handle medium-term issues such as the completion of treating highly radioactive water that has accumulated, the sources said.

Must be quite a lot if it’s going to take that long to evaporate.

Not a problem, Theres a great big pond out back, to dump it into…

I thought thousands of gallons of water was being used to cool the nuclear blob of whats left of reactor 1,2 and 3. Three years to resolve this issue do they have storage capacity to store three years worth of contaminated cooling water? Or will they (do they) have a closed circuit system like a giant automobile cooling system?
I’m not an expert in nuclear technology at all but it seems to me their story of “road map to restoration” changes more then a 17 year old adolescent caught with Daddy’s car and liquor cabinet keys

@ Mark Right on! Everything I read about Tepco in receint days is an insult to the average intelect. It appears that simple problems of plumbing leaks and malfunctions are Headline material. Too much drama and not enough realism. It keeps the media happy while side stepping the real issues of the situation. This is the angle of so much reporter hype lately. Much to do about nothing, while the real news worthy story goes unreported to the masses. The older people know what I mean, while the younger people except it for fact. It is not the younger peoples falt it is all they Know for the most part. A sad Corruption is engolfing the young mind of the World. It Appears that the powers that be are winning. Just pray its only the battle and not the War.

I think TEPCO is minimizing the amount of time to decontaminate the water. How could they possibly know this if they don’t know how long they’ll have to keep pouring water on the site?

What a load of horse shit! TEPCO does not have control of the situation, doesn’t have a clue how to get hold of the situation, and the situation continues to worsen. The next big quake or tropical storm is likely to bring unit #4 down. But they confidently predict 3 years to treat all the radioactive water. Like TEPCO, I could pull a fantasy scenario out of my ass and say in 3 years time, we will make First Contact with a benevolent alien race, who will generously use their advanced nanotechnology to collect the dispersed isostopes in the environment and transport it safely off-world.
What is very likely is that in 3 years time, Fukushima will be an off limits dead zone. It is very possible that in 3 years time, much of Japan will have been evacuated in a great Diaspora, it’s economy shattered, a generation of children afflicted with horrible birth defects and diseases.
And still they lie, while Japan and the rest of the world continue to be irradiated. I hope there is a special place in hell for the criminals in TEPCO, their co-conspirators in government, and the nuclear industry.

During this week, all parts of Japan get their share of the Fuku mess – look at the animated wind forecast…

Yes its hell breaking loose in India as well:
See today’s local paper here:
http://www.deccanherald.com/content/177221/post-fukushima-india-begins-construction.html
On what basis does India have a nuclear power programme when there is no net power available from it to society outside the nuclear industry? http://plutoniumaradiumabillionpeoplehitdna.blogspot.com/2010/04/nuclear-powers-infinite-liability-for.html Detailed energy audit worldwide of the Japanese program, the French and the USA’s have shown this fact. As a sample of my confirmation of the adverse energy audit see http://energyauditnuclearprogrammeindia.blogspot.com/ and http://energyauditofnuclearfuelcycles.blogspot.com/ Also therefore see http://justiceinorout.blogspot.com/ See the concominant health effects of nuclear power: ten Bhopals every year from normally operating nuclear plants worldwide: http://isisunveiledhenp.blogspot.com/ The need to meet water needs of such a skewed development by dams reveals a glaring inadequacy in design resulting in made made natural disasters because of climate change caused by dams. For example Fukushima nuke disaster was caused by dams. See http://glaringlacuna.blogspot.com/ See how Fukushima was prophecised weeks before by me: http://predictingquakes.blogspot.com/ Because of the cumulative effects of development, nuclear reactors would be set ablaze including skyscrapers in Bangalore and New York and such other big cities. See http://collateralsofclimatechange.blogspot.com/ The dawn of Kritayuga then will see the loss of billions of lives: See http://kritasdawn.blogspot.com/ Change over to a normal way.

Very interesting, thanks! And I’ve only had a chance to visit the predicting quakes blog so far.
