Special Report on the Nuclear Accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, INPO (Institute of Nuclear Power Operations), November 2011 [Emphasis Added]:
- “Hydrogen explosions in the units 1, 3, and 4 reactor buildings, coupled with the loss of the blowout panel in Unit 2, resulted in the SFPs of all units being exposed to atmosphere. The explosions may have also caused additional inventory to be lost from the pools.”
- “A large hydrogen explosion occurred in the Unit 3 reactor building at 1101 on March 14 […] Debris on the ground near the unit was extremely radioactive“
Yet the report contradicts itself in the conclusion to section 4.5 Spent Fuel Pools, “Subsequent analyses and inspections determined [...] that no significant fuel damage had occurred.”
Document link: fukushima report.pdf
New York Times by James Glanz and William J. Broad, April 5, 2011:
“The [confidential U.S.] document also suggests that fragments or particles of nuclear fuel from spent fuel pools above the reactors were blown “up to one mile from the units,” and that pieces of highly radioactive material fell between two units and had to be “bulldozed over,” presumably to protect workers at the site.”
“The ejection of nuclear material, which may have occurred during one of the earlier hydrogen explosions, may indicate more extensive damage to the extremely radioactive pools than previously disclosed.”

@You, read it and weep. For this is called War Kindling. Now for someone to light the match (ie something big/bad happens on UK, Isreal, USA soil).

HOLY COW BATMAN!! (do we have a masked avenger on enenews?)
““This is the most damning report ever on the status of a country’s nuclear program,” said Ariel Levite, senior associate in the Nuclear Policy Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
“People have long believed this,” said Dr. Levite, who, for several years, was deputy director general for policy at the Israeli Atomic Energy Commission. “But having the IAEA’s imprimatur will convince even the most objective person.” Except, perhaps, Russia and China, which describe the report as unnecessarily provocative.
But, while the report is “a watershed” in damning Iran, Dr. Levite says, does the IAEA have the knowledge and credibility to conclude this? No one is quite sure”
NOT SURE!!?? HA!!
in the morning i hope to see this posted so we can compile a large pile of waste manure on top of the IAEA !! AND GENERALLY HAVE A VERY MERRY SUNDAY…

Did they ever find the W O M D in Iraq !
heard a lot of talk about yellow cake then too, and it’s a slam dunk !

there’s a lot of ocean in a 1 mile radius. the parts of the debris which float are probably just about to hit the west coast.

Oh great they lost track of all the fuel rods in the spent tanks too. That is not very reassuring to hear considering the amount of radiation at the plant are as calculated “off the charts” and “beyond our capacity to test for”. TEPCO then lied to the public then end. I wish that was the case and reviewing the data of what exactly is going on must go to the public. The stated damage to the current system at Fukushima could be in run away fission and their first response would be to lie to the public. Abhorrent nuclear testing grounds initiated…Stay out of the rain.

Remember the “apology” and revised data when they said 10,000,000 times “levels of concern” were detected?!!~Then they came back with apologies offered for anxiety caused by their “malfunctioning monitoring device” & that it was 10,000 times the limit?!! Turns out their gear might be better calibrated than they think!!

I guess it is the radiation monitoring data, not the readings section, but I meant that originally..

I know it is really silly to assume things but I have to assume that this headline is a no brainer… well all except the hydrogen explosion that they keep trying to convince us of in I think reactor 3.
I have also started to loose track of what is what anymore, all I see is one big conundrum inhaling large chunks of the Japanese country side continually with radio activity.

can I have one guess?
Report Comment
If it’s detected across **Europe** … then that has to be some pretty hefty leak. I doubt it’ll be just some old container getting rusty somewhere and nobody noticing it until now.
But if it is Fukushima indeed, then shouldn’t US we have seen/detect it too like ~2-3 weeks ago ?
Report Comment
What it’s not said is whether they are still detecting it **now** at same/similar levels.

No kidding…but didnʻt NRC assure us that all SPF are fine–no need worry…and theyʻre still sticking to their story that unit 3 was a hydrogen explosion…Iʻm still confused on unit 2, though…didnʻt it have its own explosion?…and whatʻs going on with 5 and 6??

they forgot to mention core melt-through in this report or continuing radiation releases by way of underground fission geyser.

Our local National Public Radio station in Chicago, Illinois, USA recently had this story about a couple of nuclear scientists at Argonne National Laboratory which is about 20 miles from downtown Chicago, USA. The story starts about 10 minutes in on the radio show. http://www.wbez.org/blog/city-room-blog/2011-11-09/11-9-11-empty-lots-nuclear-scientists-and-snow-93878# One scientist is an actor in his spare time the other a chef. It does blow my image that nuclear scientists are nerds that spend their evenings reviewing their safety manuals and getting a full night of rest. The story does convey that nuclear scientists are people too. The problem is we need nuclear scientists to be superhuman when things go wrong and they are just really, really smart regular guys.

last thought for the night
are the rods they are on about MOX (plutonium)
then an explosion that blows the roof and walls off might turn the mox back into powder? or am i missing something?? are the zirconian cases intact or a bit melted? the pellets released and in powdered form? or are the pellets likely to retain their pressed state??
better sleep on it…any one know the tensile properties of these mox pellets?
“Mixed oxide fuel, commonly referred to as MOX fuel, is … The resulting powder can be converted using a base into green pellets using a press.”

isnt nuclear fuel very dense? all this talk of it floating across the Pacific ocean, seems unlikely imo. but we will certainly see what happens.

Meanwhile in the alternative reality if the MSM all is well at Fukushima.
http://thelede.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/11/11/a-visit-to-fukushima-begins/
“My dosimeter showed 0.45 microsieverts per hour in front of Center House, a central building where the Tepco briefing was held. That is about the same as background levels in most parts of the United States.”
Wonder if they used Tepco provided dosimeters?
…..
“The medical center has never treated a case of radiation exposure. Fukushima Daiichi did have a radiation exposure case in March, but the person was treated elsewhere.
Some 2,400 workers have come for checks, but mostly for colds.”
Just a short step from here to radiation not being bad for you to it actually being good. What I don’t understand is why the MSM simply takes the word of TEPCO which has been proven to lie repeatedly.

Well let’s face the fact that the control rods that blew are now in fact sinking into the ground just like all the reactor core breaches. Then there are GROUND AREAS cracked tons of steam coming out. The plant can sink cause of the heat melting the under earth,and scientists says another 9.0 earthquake soon.

“any one know the tensile properties of these mox pellets?”
If they are as strong as the plastic packaging on goods produced in the U.S., it’s probably at least 400 lbs. per square inch. Knives or scissors will be required to open (or a good sized nuclear blast).
