Temperatures rise at No.4 spent fuel storage pool, NHK, April 13, 2011:

[Emphasis Added]

The Tokyo Electric Power Company, or TEPCO, says the water temperature in the spent fuel storage pool at the No. 4 has risen to about 90 degrees Celsius. It fears the spent fuel rods may be damaged.

TEPCO took the temperature on Tuesday using an extending arm on a special vehicle. It found the temperature was much higher than the normal level of under 40 degrees. …

TEPCO says high levels of radiation at 84 millisieverts per hour were detected above the water surface, where radiation is rarely detected. …

University of Tokyo Professor Koji Okamoto says… some of the water in the pool may be boiling. Okamoto says high radiation indicates the possibility of radiation leaks from damaged fuel

    These reports are just going in endless circles of the same reports again and agian ! When it goes BOOM ! There will be no more local reports !

    Right, they’ve been rewording and recycling these statements for weeks now…

    Apparently it’s a level 7, but fruit & veggies in Japan are completely safe to eat.. Yeah, right!

    Am I crazy to assume that a plutonium fire has already started. We need a webcam down there.

    • Back in the early days of this disaster, Reactor 3 showed signs of a plutonium explosion. The smoke was yellow-gray, with n orange flame. The media claimed it was hydrogen, which burns white with a blue flame. (Sad how much I have learned about physics and chemistry in the past month.) I don’t think Japan or TEPCO will admit to it – think of the panic that would create.

      I don’t think the plutonium in Reactor 4 has started to burn – the boiling and melting points are high and a “small” fire probably/hopefully wasn’t enough to ignite.

      I wrote a blog post about the difference between the reporting of this disaster by the alternative media v. corporate media. You can read it here, if you’d like.

        Wow Kelly Ann Thomas, Great blog.

        I am on the same page as you seeing the same thing. I am sad and depressed about it. Mainly because I have two daughters who are full of hope for the future and I see this Fukushima disaster as destroying earth. Plutonium and Cesium everywhere.

        Please, someone tell me that I’m wrong.

      The levels are too high, it would melt the electronics and cease to work almost immediately !

      I think at least one of these reactors has leak onto the well and is eating through the 8′ to 10′ feet of concrete and will reach water at some time. Many high ups know this and will not allow their people to be near it !

      When this happens a domino of explosions will ensue, maybe collecting other reactor plants in the process.
      Japan will become a no mans land !

  • Storage pool seems to be devoid of any type of fuel rods or water> look at the video you see the Green Gantry platform way above the hole in the ground. That platform is just above a pool HMMMM

    Nothing to see here just move along American Idol will be on in 5 minutes.

    With everyone holding information, I think there are cover ups. I tend to think this is going to end up the worse it can get, if they don’t end this soon.

    I think Japan is already a no mans land, I wouldn’t visit there. We might follow, if this isn’t put out.

    I would not be surprised if Plutonium is already out there in the water and air.

    With a level 7 you get your people evacuated, fresh water, food, shelter away from danger, medical care, asking the very best qualifying professional from everywhere for help in solving this problem, you ask for help globally. I don’t know if anything like this is being done?

  • The chaos of collapse and delimitation is spreading. Another war, another broken cycle, tyranny remains. These last few years have always felt rushed. Gasping at all the incoming information. From the false elections and false flag attacks I’ve watched from the comfort of a drunken stupor, a emotionless gaze or an excuse not to seriously involve myself. The worst part about all this stuff is that were constantly conned. Hell, everyday someone is taking from me, you and your family. Slowly chipping away at those things that matter. We find ourselves hurling, compromising our way to our own personal hells. Inventing new tortures, creating new drama. Till finally there is no escape from all the fears. The clenched jaw and the racing heart. To what effect? What is the result of all this? We shrink away from being cheated because no one wants to admit they have been duped. By the end of the day only the numb remains. Till a point.

    Than when you realize how backwards everything is. The whole situation seems so obvious. Clear as day facts. PERIOD. You think the same rush you felt when you really dug up some truth. The realization of discovery. That blissful moment where you felt engaged in moment. Render out the deceptions, use the word and push through the veil. That tingly feeling of awe. So you take this feeling and try and give it to others. Show them the real world. Then you quickly realize, no body gives a shit.

    Better yet, those that do, are just as crazy as you. Either way, it becomes more isolating that when you started. So the score cards the same. There is a clear and rational grasp of the situation. The whole thing is playing out right in front of everyone, and they are bickering about some manufactured reality bought and paid for by the state. Isn’t that something! This is the time we should not squander, perhaps even, its time to do things in a totally new way. Hey, you just might take a second and really think about how to approach this event.

    We’re engaging in a war for hearts in a world ruled by madness. I often feel the separation. Often the most vulgar feeling is being able to accomplish nothing. Its so insane! The poison, the lies, the corruption and most of all. The slumber of the hard hearts. How do you approach them? To what effect? Do you ever just look into em? Try and figure out why its become so difficult to face a very adult world? The very nature of man is compromised. We lack the sheer faculties to even address a relevant situation. So hard to keep control. Wake up folks. God is not mad at you. You are and always are loved. Its strength to face fears. Its compassion that gets us through. Don’t try to act surprised. It is simple to find easy ways to fall. To befall the judgment of others that will scorn you when your down and out. To make foolish mistakes or even take reckless chances. Anything really just to feel like we have invested anything into this life. Though mostly it seems we settle for suffering. That is the very essence of what has held me hostage. I often think its what holds many others too.

    All hearts, all backgrounds. For this we must be brave! From this we draw upon one and other. Save judgements for they deny you. I find only hope when I look out. I see only the kind. Perhaps its somewhat idealist. To believe that even those with the compatibility for evil could also perhaps have the same ability to do otherwise. So, I guess really. This is both a confession and a plea, please forgive me, as I forgive you. We are all hurting. This world doesn’t leave us without scars. I am through with being ashamed. I know in my heart I cannot help everyone or even live like I hope, wish, strive to everyday. I fall short every time. The worst enemy I have is myself it seems. The nagging fatigue of everyday wears me, I make bad judgments. Its not for lack of effort. Well, not always. I used to long for wealth, power and lust. I was defined by my appetite. Ruthless and determined. If I could take those shameful days and take those moments back I would do so. Given that is not an option, I do take full responsibility.

    I hope by some small measure I have successfully reached out to you. I can hope by some measure I had helped at least one other traveler in this life. There comes a time and place to address important issues. In this day and age the revelings of independence, knowledgeable medicines and practical spread of vital information becomes compulsion. I intend to address these issues piece-mail for a foreseeable future. The underlying principal always resides with the community. This document is not about political agenda’s, religious principals or views.. This is an attempt at clear and open sharing of ideas and common needs.

    I find the under utilization, coverage and application of known free energy devices both devastating and very interesting. A vast technological revolution has been suppressed and dismissed. This is of great concern considering the immense impact of these devices. I have featured many of these devices via my website: thesandmanproject.com; as well as, developed many of these devices to enrich my life or those of my family. It’s amazing the vast unlimited potential we have, should we only implement the most basic of these tools. I highly recommend the development of GEET, HHO Boosters, and the SP500 fuel less generator. As these are the most basic and useful of the free energy suppression technologies. The fundamental information is available with a little bit of research.

    The restoration of prosperity to this community rests in the revitalization. The underpinning of a successful community is the willingness to develop “micro economic systems”. A few examples of fundamental systems include the local farmers market and flea markets. Centers where people can gather and exchange local goods and services. Simple non corporation events by and for the people help develop not only the economy but also the community. A simple and reliable barter system is easily established once the needs and accountability is established. This is easily done using freemans contracts (see the Redemption Manual). As the investment in the local community would be of better benefit to the future of or family than any continued government economic action has thus done.

    Now for the hard part. Time is up. The clock has silently clicked past midnight and our deepest fears are real. There is carnage and bitter dispute in the hearts and minds of men. Were sending our entire culture into Lucifer’s agenda. Dedicating every resource to deceit, slovenly irresponsible self destruction. Compassion becomes an ideal instead of an action. Lessons of the past are thrown from the mind. Only the innuendos of propaganda reach many of us. More over, the rationalization that our masters, tormentors have become comfortable. So.. What happens next?

    Reactor 4
    Spent fuel rods in a water pool may have become exposed to air, emitting radioactive gases. An explosion and fire have damaged the building. There are no fuel assemblies in the reactor; 548 were removed for maintenance and are part of 1,331 in spent fuel pools.
