Footage of the NYC Press Conference May 4th 2012
Cinema Forum Fukushima
New York — Description: Japanese Nuclear Scientist and Japanese and US medical doctors to discuss current radiological health conditions and concerns in Japan after the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear reactor catastrophe.
Hiroaki KOIDE / Nuclear Reactor Specialist and Assistant Professor at Kyoto University Research Reactor Institute
As of March 15 when the explosion occurred in No. 4, that spent fuel pool was caused to tilt.
I am worried right now if that pool falls down, there is a great danger of a large amount of radiation being released.
Journalist Ryuichi Kino questions a Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency spokesman during the May 7 press conference, translated by Fukushima Diary:
Kino: About the state of reactor4, has anyone surveyed the building?
NISA: Like tilt?
Kino: Yes, tilt and other points.
NISA: We surveyed the water level of SFP4, and confirmed it’s not leaning.
Kino: Apart from the water level, hasn’t anybody surveyed the level of the building?
NISA: Because we confirmed it was not leaning, we think there is no problem with the building. [...]

Why should we beleive anything that is being "reported" from Fukushima, it has all been fabricated up to this point. "We think that there is nothing wrong with the building…" Are you effing kidding me??? They are in ruins and indeed precarious.

Yeah, I realize this is an excerpt but still, if this is the level of science we are dealing with, well, I just have a different idea of what science can illuminate and reveal. The *well, it is because we think or say so* kind of science is a quack job and irresponsible in view of the crisis. I have a great respect and interest in the scientific institutions, real science and real scientists.

Water is always level. Is the BUILDING level nincompoop.

Exactly!!!! Holy shit.

Thanks Whoopie this is great news but we still have a long way too go and I hope the NRC hangs on to Jaczko he is the best person in the bunch. IMHO

The consensus of those who are in charge in Japan, US, the EU, the NRS, the IAEC, the nuclear industry, supporting politicians, lobbyists, consultants and all the other associated shills complicit with the MSM, is not to report the real conditions at Fukushima Daiichi.
In a US Homeland Security study about a “a hypothetical catastrophic event like a radiological dispersal device”, one of the study’s authors concludes and states the following, “Anything we can do from a policy standpoint that can reduce excessive public concern about an event has huge economic benefits. Carefully crafting messages to both advise the public and alleviate fears not only helps to prevent panic, but also helps to prevent long-term economic harm. Anything that can be done from a policy standpoint to reduce excessive fear from the public has considerable benefits.”
Although I have no confidence in what is being done to abort the radiological firestorm to come, people have a right to know, no matter how frightening the possibilities. If the public was accurately informed, it would demand an international intervention. But, if TEPCO and the current folks in charge are permitted to continue on the same path (the fix and the PR), there will absolutely be…a global catastrophe.
So, how do we motivate/manipulate the MSM into action?

Now, who you gonna believe? Me? Or your lyin eyes…..
No problem with building, HAAHAHAAAAAHAAAAAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAAAAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAAAAHOOOOOOOHEEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAHAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAA… Comedy gold. What a fucking moron.

Agreed!

They have convinced themselves that there is nothing wrong because it is a part of a larger plan, this is global genocide.

God I hope you are wrong. I really believe this was a horrible accident, waiting to happen on several levels and did in full Murphy's Law fashion. Unfortunately the same flawed thinkers or philosophy have been allowed to remain in place to control the aftermath of the accident. THIS is the flaw in the whole situation as these people do not seem to recognize the obvious errors and demonstrate an unbelievable level of willingness and ability to lie and mislead more that any other I have ever seen. Allowing them to stay in place has guaranteed more of the behaviors which really ultimately got us here in the first place.

yes, I hope I am wrong as well.

I'm beginning to wonder if these *talks* are the result of the push for action on SFP4? If they are, we are really screwed if the best we're getting back is this drivel. I really cant respect someone who is so blatantly vacant in a matter as important as SFP4 staying up or not.

My own work has shown that the NISA assessment is not supported by the fact of the earth's dynamics reacting to the dynamics of the world's dams with the force matching a huge nuclear explosion. Thus during redistribution of the huge surges applied upon occurrence of an earthquake, the surges may hit the SFP No 4 building and grievously at that resulting in the possible wiping off of huge numbers of life on the earth by cascading effects of nuclear explosions. My own assessment of Fukushima is exactly this and it happened at Kashiwasaki Kariwa after which I repeatedly warned the world community through my blogs of the possibility at any other fortuitiously located nuke park and I will continue to in the days to come till the last drop of my blood.

Incidentally this is same Dr Hiroaki Koide who exposed the fact that nuclear wastes from other nuclear sites of India
were reportedly dumped into the tailing pond at Jadugoda, Jharkhand:
"It is reported that the radioactive waste from various
parts of India has been carried and abandoned
into the tailing pond of Jadugoda. Unusual contamination
of Cs-137 in No.1 tailing pond is considered
to show this fact.":

Hi R. A. Kumar,
Fascinating article you wrote. Way over my head.
Are you saying the 'rebound' of water in a dam after an earthquake is capable of inflicting seismic damage at a distance? So a faultline could experience additional loading from these energy waves released from dams after an earthquake?
Or are you saying that accumulated seasonal rainfall increases the load weight of water at a dam site to the point of causing earthquakes?
Things I had never considered……….

I would be very grateful to you if you check out

for starters.
Then feel free to engage in a conversation on this site a la Fukushima.
Its self determination that moves the world from fresh to more fresh things. Not fatalism!
Thanks.

As far as fuel pool 4 goes, I have some doubts about any remediation effort, here's why. They have already admitted that there is substantial fuel bundle damage in 4. There is alot of sediment and salt from sea water in pool 4. There is alot of debris in 4. There is a 35 ton crane in 4. Since we know there is damadge to fuel bundles, is it possible that any atempt to remove damaged bundles could result in major amounts of fuel pellets escaping the bundles they are now in and end up in the bottom of the pool? Could it be that any attempt at removing bundles will actualy cause the situation at 4 to get profoundly worse? Resulting in the inevitable disaster that 4 surely represents. Could be we are already past the point of being able to do anything with spent fuel pool 4.
What do the rest of you think about this?

Applying the precautionary principle, after all that you have stated and already put out by others, a huge jolt received by No 4 would mean the end.

Of course, the water level is parallel to the operations ground floor. Ever heard of a parallelogram? keeping the base horizontal, then skewing the top edge to one side, would keep the top edge (water level) parallel to the base (ground floor). However, the sides of the parallelogram would be tilted in one direction (i.e. the building columns could be tilted, yet the water level remain parallel to the ground floor!)
