Wowser that video is scary! Esp if u think the spent fuel pool number 4 still has sum crap left in it (I dont)– Anywho so lets take a vote shall we?? All those in favor of NukeQs or nukequakes stead of earthquakes caused by blah blah
Yea or nay? we need sum new shiny happy fun words to describe our changing

alert!SOPA&PIPA=the Undead
This might seem off-subject but actually it isn’t as we all depend on internet freedom for continued access to this website which has become a kind of ‘emotional support’ lifeline for me (and others I am sure) as well as a source of info that otherwise would not be readily available.

SOPA, PIPA and the new OPEN (which means “closed”) are anything but off-topic. If they are implemented, we won’t be having these online discussions for long, or if we do it will be only at the pleasure of the US government.
It’s really getting ugly out there.
SHUT THEM ALL DOWN (Nukes of course, not the Internet)

@bfly – ty 4 that link!
I have wondered about these repeated quakes under the Fukushima plant, because the initial 3/11 quake was not under the plants but out in the ocean. So, why would ALL the aftershocks – or almost all of them – be centered under the Fuku. nuclear power plants?
Reading the comments under that post on Fuku Diary, one person asked if hydrogen explosions could be powerful enough to trigger quakes of such high magnitude, and it seemed like a good question to me – but being no geologist or expert in any of these fields, I really don’t have an opinion/theory and will watch this thread hoping for further discussion/information.
Would be interesting to get Arnie Gundersen’s take on this possibility/suggestion.
Report Comment
I recall the ‘expected’ aftershocks came wit a fury after 311 and I recall them beinv nowhere really close or centered near/at Fuku Daichii specifically. To my thinking something has shifted recently and these disturbances seem centered around the plant now…and its a fact the coriums are outside of containment so they for me become a likely factor to consider. I think WE here would be being simplistic in our thinking to underestmate the effects of loose multiple coriums on a mother of a fault line. My other concern since the start with runaway meltdown was the presence of extensive lavatubes also perhaps now in vicinity of said blobs. I think the dangerous effect of PRESSURE underground alone may be triggering these already active faults in nuclear processes we probably have never even seen before.

There seems to be a correlation between fracking and EQs.So could be be similiar ? After watching that video on fukushima diary . right after the quake you see flames.

Shaking the open BBQ, makes all the embers glow hot again, while a plume of hot sparks rise to the air.
Tokyo might expect more spikes in their radiation readings.

I’m no rocket scientist, nor nuclear engineer, but is it possible all this earthquake activity isn’t really earthquakes in the sense we are use to but perhaps underground criticalities and reactions due to China Syndrome?
Report Comment
That’s floated to my mind on quite a few occasions but I successfully shoved it to the back recesses for the simple reason that not thinking about it allows me to continue functioning.
‘Else I’d become a blubbering basketcase.
Report Comment
Yes I think it’s possible when the Japanese who live nearby say it feel different, etc. Thus perhaps it is the corium. Who knows for sure, it anyones guess.
Report Comment
Yes I agree and would think the deeper the material is the higher the pressure causing larger and larger reactions. Maybe someone out there knows how large these explosion can get.

Ding, ding, ding, ding,…give that man a prize!
I mean it,…..only smart people can admit this REALITY!
Report Comment
Sheez, I sniffed that out right about the time 2 or 3 of these were “reported.”
Stop calling them earthquakes, media hacks, it’s misleading.
Stuff is blowing up underground. Maybe a gigantic crater will form and suck the whole damn complex underground and we can cover it with about 1 billion cubic meters of lead and boron.
Report Comment
That would be O.K. by me!
Report Comment
I asked a while back whether the expected hydrogen explosions might be staying underground, rather than blowing up at the surface. The flames seen at the foot of the towers in the recent camera shots reminds me disturbingly of Arnold Gundersen’s hydrogen experiment.
Report Comment
After viewing footage from Fuku Diary I really think that is the case and they are not earthquakes but hydrogen explosions.
Report Comment
You can view the earthquake? or hydrogen explosion and fire starts about 1:50ish as a small fire and then the shaking. So..on with the show http://youtu.be/uf6hcnQ1eTE

BTW keep your eyes on the bottom of the second tower in front of Reactor 3 this is a fire no doubt about that and perhaps where some of the corium is located. Thanks Fukushima Diary.
