When are these folks going to realize the reactors are not going to stop emitting harmful radiation levels even with water being poured on them at this point of wet then dry. ? Once exposed they will make toast of anyone getting near them !

Japan ! This has gotten beyond plain stupid ! Cover these things now, from the Inhabitants of the Earth and the unborn !

xdrfox, Japan isn’t the only one not thinking..
We know our Gulf has a problem
WORST CASE scenario:
Unstable sea-floor, cracked and oil leaking,
Oil and dispersant toxic soup everywhere,
A supersonic tsunami hundreds of feet tall that would obliterate Florida and coastal states entirely could happen.
Methane and Benzene and other toxins that are pent up under the crust releasing into the air, creating a death cloud and explosions could burst
The Madrid Fault could have an earth quake.
California and other places can also have an earth quakes and a tsunami
There are Nuclear Plants all over in the US
We saw in Japan what a tsunami and earth quakes can do to a nuclear plant.
With knowing that we already have a problem in the gulf, do we really want to take a chance?
Close down our Nuclear Plants and encourage other Countries to do the same.

Can’t undo what’s been done, but there can be a way to stop any man made future damage thats not already in the pipeline !

yeah,
Let’s close our nuclear plants, invade more Arab countries, wage more wars and steal their oil.
Good idea…

I live on the coast; FL panhandle. Got in touch with director of news local tv, his reply was the Coast Guard reported; slime sediment washed out of the Mississippi River, that’s all! Read the Coast Guard Report today.
Oh yeah, Spring Break is in the air. Cha-ching! goes the cash register. Check out all videos dated Feb and Mar 2011. Ignore last years videos, as that oil spill has been completely cleaned up. It’s this new one that has us concerned. As well as the high number of marine species finding their way up onto the beaches to sunbath… themselves to death.

Let’s close all our nuclear plants and all our fossil fuel plants and walk around with little winndmills on our backs….Come on people….

And covering things with cement doesn’t fix the problem. You can’t just start burying a hot reactor with cement and not cool it down. Eventually if it does fully meltdown you could have explosions and destroy the cement you just built. Japan is doing all they can.

No one talked about war, most people don’t want that. Wearing windmills on your back, just wont do it.
If you look into another posting I did mention they might have to cool it down first.
You are right Japan is trying and there have been many brave people there..
However, we are all beyond stupid with nuclear power, this is to dangerous to use.
Nuclear Energy is out of my comfort zone. One Mistake, One Accident can cause such devastation.
We know what happened/is happening with oil companies and our officials. How can we trust that there will be, the utmost safety regulations in place with Nuclear Energy?
Why would it be any different with this?
They are doing cut backs in many areas, eventually would they be cutting back on the plants safety operations?
The ones who would put this in place have the ability to build a nuclear shelter for them and their families, or they are able to fly somewhere safe, the average or poor person doesn’t have this.
We should be looking into alternative sources of energy instead of relying on oil, nuclear and coal. There has to be other ways to create a non devastating energy.
If using simple every day nature to create energy, can any big money be made on it?
Mining uranium, doesn’t sound safe to the environment.
Can Nuclear Energy be 100 percent safe, and if not, can they supply everyone with a nuclear bomb shelter..No of coarse not, it’s not cost efficient.
We have seen the destruction it can cause.
Am I against Nuclear Energy,
I am most definitely against it.
The Risk is To Great.

Thank You xdrfox
Not sure why they aren’t cementing it? Maybe it needs to be cooled first, maybe there is to much water? However, Michio Kaku acted like they could do this now?

Russia did it with Chernobyl, Wasn’t it still hot after a few days ?
Reports are coming out now that 20 mile radius of plant is 1,600x’s normal, Alex Jones show.
Each day this gasses it deadly cocktail of isotopes into the air the more they will fall bio-accumulating layer after layer, more and more of radioactive contaminates on the earth.

Hi xdrfox,
Good question, I don’t know if Chernobyl was hot..I know it wasn’t built like Japan’s was ..Japan built theirs better and yet look what happened.
Like I said, I honestly don’t know if it can be put out while hot..Michio Kaku who is a Professor of Theoretical Physics says it should be done now.
Personally, I don’t know?
I know the people in Japan are taking risks, most likely it will kill them fighting this. They are working hard to end this. These are brave people going in there to fight this.
All I know is, this earth is changing with earth quakes, sea-floors moving and hissing, pole shifting, Nuclear Power plant on faults
Do we really want to add another possible nuclear disaster, is the risk worth it?
I don’t think it is a question “if we will have” a nuclear disaster, with all these earth changing events I think it is a question of “when” will we have a nuclear disaster.

It did not have the Stainless steel containment vessels. When it blew they were doing some test ? one forth of the thing blew off the top, then the fire and it started to burn, meltdown cased it to eat through the floor of the reactor building under it. From what I have read.
I remember when this happened, being in the confined of Russia the coverage was mass but really details were sketchy back then being that it was Russia.
They had to bring in food a milk for people for years from outside the country because of the contaminations and areas.
The fires this past year in Russia burned a large swath of the contaminated areas causing more settled contaminates to be burned on the grounds an re-lifting them into the atmosphere again !
The covered it with mixtures of sands cements and rocks that absorbed the radiation and Boxen and other things,
But the really story here is,
they are going to re enclose it again because of stories that it is emitting too high of levels again, Russia has been putting together a fund and drawing up the plan’s to how to entomb it for good hopefully !

Chernobyl released 5% of the radioactive reactor core into the atmosphere
The Chernobyl accident in 1986 was the result of a flawed reactor design that was operated with inadequately trained personnel.
The resulting steam explosion and fires released at least 5% of the radioactive reactor core into the atmosphere and downwind.
Two Chernobyl plant workers died on the night of the accident, and a further 28 people died within a few weeks as a result of acute radiation poisoning.
UNSCEAR says that apart from increased thyroid cancers, “there is no evidence of a major public health impact attributable to radiation exposure 20 years after the accident.”
Resettlement of areas from which people were relocated is ongoing.

Harmless? Chernobyl Radiation Killed Nearly One Million People
March 17, 2011
Their findings are in contrast to estimates by the World Health Organization and the International Atomic Energy Agency that initially said only 31 people had died among the “liquidators,” those approximately 830,000 people who were in charge of extinguishing the fire at the Chernobyl reactor and deactivation and cleanup of the site.The book finds that by 2005, between 112,000 and 125,000 liquidators had died.

Scientists conclude: Chernobyl killed nearly 1 million people
September 4, 2010
The book is solidly based on health data, radiological surveys and scientific reports — some 5,000 in all.
It concludes that based on records now available, some 985,000 people died, mainly of cancer, as a result of the Chernobyl accident. That is between when the accident occurred in 1986 and 2004. More deaths, it projects, will follow.
