    Will any of these have any impact on the fuel removal process now going on at #4?

    Do you think any of the workers were scared shitless? I hope they didn't 'drop' anything.

    Sheer madness – all of it.

      These were small as quakes go, but, Time Is Short, i bet they stopped whatever it was they were doing and held their collective breaths until the shaking passed. Then they probably gave everyone a quick glance that conveyed "holy fu– and made sure the water was still holding. You ask a very good question.

    I wonder if they are earthquakes or the corium as I recall residents were claiming other quakes did not feel like normal earthquakes but underground explosions. Things that make ya go hmmm

    saikado hantei!!! Go Japan!!!!

    @Time Is Short: Thank you for your diligent postings. It seems many have migrated away from the threads. We need to keep posting truthful thoughts about the nuclear madness here. New people coming in every day, and many still do not know or grasp the life changing events taking place.

    The nuclear criminals among us are waiting for us to tire and give up from stress and anxiety.

    Nuclear criminal cabal: Your silence speaks volumes.

    Toothless Toadies at inept and captive Nuclear Regulatory Commission still can't get their bitches to dry cask even one little fuel assembly. Grow some fangs guys …

    My question: what is the "defense in depth" plan for Turkey Point, Florida spent fuel pools, unloading and management of reactors, if the West Antarctic Ice Shelf calves, and worldwide ocean levels rise twenty feet in twenty-four hours? This is not a hoax. This will happen. Maybe next week or maybe in a couple hundred years. Still no plan to move the fuel to higher ground..

    Guess we'll row out in Polynesian war canoes and fish 'em out with tongs, right? You Mr. GE Man lying cheating fake. Keep making more of the hot stuff since we don't know where to put it, no one is making us store it more safely, in dry casks …

    Turkey Point elevation? Below twenty feet above mean sea level 2012.

    "Sheer madness" an understatement.

    Try a little hyperbole. Trouble is … in this business, exaggeration of the bad is…
