Title: Confirmed Temperature Rise at Fukushima Reactor

Executives of the Tokyo Electrical Power (TEPCO), confirmed an increase in temperature in a reactor of the Fukushima nuclear power plant [...]
The fact questions the government’s decision to review the radiation levels around the facility to remove the exclusion zone of 12.5 miles [...]
The information indicated that helicopters fly over the region to measure the possible effects of the increase in the air.

Hope the will get heard...
sending...
What increase? You just said there was no fission, so what do you expect to find?

I read yesterday at NHK? Mainichi ? Asahi? Can’t remember that they are measuring air rad levels at 300 m to decide whether to lift the flight ban for airplanes in the 20 km area.

NOT Cold Shutdown at Fukushima! Wonder how long before everyone is told to go back to the evacuation areas..forget the radiation, smile and be happy.

RE Cold Shut Down:
How can you have cold shut down without a “reactor”?
There are only three piles of radioactive junk in Fukushima and those are no longer reactors!
Example:
If a tank blows up you have a burned out hulk or mass of scrap but you don;t have a tank any more; that ceased to exist when it blew up…
…
It is a misuse of the term to describe a reactor after meltdown as ‘in cold shutdown’. As the fuel assembly is destroyed no shutdown is possible. Fuel is melted together and impossible to control directly. Even if pressure and temperature are unalarming momentarily ‘cold shutdown’ implies complete control which is impossible after meltdown.
Why can’t the Nuclear Industry accept that a melted down reactor is not a normal condition for a reactor which is shut down for any number of reasons and is ABLE TO BE STARTED UP AGAIN SAFELY!
This is a perfect example of Nuclear Oriented Bad Science (N☢ BS) being used to provide dis-information to the public and only serves to call into question those in the Industry that should be speaking out against this Nuclear Baloney (NB)!

Excellent point!

but Captain, if you say “STATE of cold shutdown” then you have wiggle room, see its not actually cold shutdown, we just stated it’s cold shutdown, so as not to panic the sheeple since we got no actually answers.
Ouch, I was trying to be funny, but there is just nothing funny about this crap

Temp goes up = Radiation also goes UP
The Fuky Effect = Corium(s) fissioning, as they interact with the Earth and the ground water below the reactor containment building...
Think Steam or in the worse case a hydro-corium event!
Report Comment
EXACTLY!

Who knows where the Corium is? Maybe we should set up a sweepstakes and sell tickets?
With at least three 65 ton melted, fissioning, out of control radioactive fireballs going who knows where, it will be interesting to see how all of this ‘cold shutdown’ claiming stuff by all of these supposed nuclear experts plays out.
So far, I am extremely unimpressed and rapidly losing all respect for just about all of these ‘experts’ spouting off on how more radiation is safe for you, how FUKU is in cold shutdown, and how they have this whole thing totally under control.

Gravity, EQ’s (Earth Quakes) are “pulling the Corium(s) downward toward the water table (which rises and falls depending upon the rainfall and other issues like snowfall), below the Complex!

Off topic, but like jec said above, smile and be happy seems to be the self-imposed solution for those still living very close to the reactors. See this AMA (ask me anything) on reddit from an American still living in Fukushima: http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/pble7/i_am_living_near_the_coast_of_fukushima_42_kms/
He even sprays about enenews when someone points out that he should be a little more concerned about radiation. Oh well…
Report Comment
He is NEGATIVE about EneNews. He sees it as sensationalist and extremist. It seems like he will not even read it..
He does not know ANYONE around him that is suffering from radiation effects, and is not worried about radiation one bit, or so I gather from reading a lot of his posts.
Then later on, he admits that he does not eat ‘local’ food or milk and his food bill has gone up quite a bit as he eats ONLY ‘foreign’ food.
So why is he saying he is not worried about radiation one little bit, and then at the same time, he is no longer eating Fukushima food?
Those two things do not fit together… logically inconsistent.
I hope he stays safe and protects himself. He has not measured any radiation hot spots where he is. I wonder if he has a Geiger meter?
Report Comment
Even the US Embassy here is stating one should be careful living one year within 80 kilometers. I do not know where he is getting his information.
Report Comment
Any chance of getting a link to that notice, or are they just saying that verbally?
Best to you and your family!
