Arnold Gundersen with a new report on the Fukushima meltdowns and their worldwide implications
IF YOU LOVE THIS PLANET, A Weekly Radio Program with Dr. Helen Caldicott
May 18, 2012
Arnie Gundersen, Fairewinds Chief Nuclear Engineer: This is the sleeper as far as I’m concerned.
Unit 3 has about half the nuclear fuel in its pool than Unit 4 does.
Some of it is still quite hot.
It had been removed about 6 months before the meltdowns.
So it has a hot enough quarter of a core that it could burn in air.
And of course the Unit 3 building is fatally flawed.
So my concern is the same problem on Unit 4 could occur on Unit 3, we seem to just worry about Unit 4.
Later in the program Gundersen notes that, unlike Unit 4, workers cannot enter Unit 3 for reinforcement work.

There is a good chance we will all be sleepers soon.

It looks to me like the top two floors of Reactor3 are destroyed.
The SPF has gone.

Here we go again. #3 NPP is a complete meltdown, loaded with MOX. Now there's a possibility the #3 SFP is still standing? Since when?
Not enough misdirection with #4 SFP, now we have to look back at #3. What next, is #1 melted? Maybe we should check.
Just get on with it. The site is completely destroyed, with a few rods hanging on for dear life. Enough radiation had been released to kill us all, no one really denies that, so what's the worry about a couple of "hanging by a thread" pools, one of which is 'supposedly' half empty.
No remediation at all, nothing, nada, zip. The only thing they haven't done is liquify it and inject us. Fu%$&rs.

Litvinienko ingested liquid radioactive Polonium. He died terrible death. From Russia and Putin with 'love'. He learnt the dangers of internal radioactivity the hard way.
Now we have 'from Japan with love'.

I sure quit drinking the sake and tea. Just say no to Suntory.
How about 'Dr. Noda', or 'Zirconium-cladfinger'?

How Dangerous Is 400-600 Pounds Of Plutonium Nano Particle Dust Liberated By Fukushima? Via A Green Road Blog http://agreenroad.blogspot.com/2012/03/how-dangerous-is-400-600-pounds-of.html
Still no one talking about this in the mass media..
Another sacred cow.. time for everyone to worship at the alter.
Bow down to the God of Pluto, destroyer of worlds.
Pluto asks for blood sacrifices, not just one at a time, as in times past.. Now it has to be thousands, even MILLIONS of sacrifices at a time.
Who will be sacrificed next, near you?

Very well said, AGR.
No one wants to talk about the plutonium. How about the uranium 'buckyballs' making their way around the world? The uranium isn't falling down locally like it's supposed to. It spreads with the wind:

The author mentions plutonium. I wonder if there are plutonium buckyballs? This is some radical shit going on here. Too bad all living biology is the collective guinea pig.

also there are gases like uranium hexaflouride that can be in liquid of gaseous form that can travel too! i believe there is a plutonium hexaflouride too?
and uranium and plutonium are not easy to find or test for…

6.4 earthquake off Honshu?
(just got an email alert from USGS)
Will check further …

Sorry, could be an old one …as in a delayed email alert talking about a 6.4 that happened days ago.
May have to sign off from those alerts – too delayed.

Thanks Whoopie,
I think I'll rename myself to Whoopsie.
I signed off from their email alerts to prevent any undue cases of seismophobia.
(I thought I had made that word up – a play on the nuke industry's 'radiophobia' – but it's a real word).
Thanks for saving my butt ….

A friend has an app for his smart phone that beeps when there is an earthquake, he has it set for 4.5 or bigger and says it is almost immediate.

i work with a group of talented psychics. At the moment we have no idea why, but the past week our attention has been shifted to Japan. We are waiting for something to happen there.

Sure looks like earthquakes are 'swarming' off of Honshu but you can never really tell if it's pre-strikes before a main event.
'Bucky Balls' are a new creation ever since the cooling of the reactors with seawater. I don't know if it is theory or not, they have to find one in the wild to prove it.

I just had a wild thought about 7 months ago there was a video from one of the science guys online who had in his home one of those stand up room air cleaners that uses long plates, where dust and things hang to the plate. I JUST REMEMBERED that he was getting radiation in his home and the plates cleaning the air would do like a BIG BUG ZAPPER make a loud crackkkkkkkkkk and would produce something like a bluish purple lightning bolt. I wonder if it was neutralizing the radiation. IF IT WAS I think a unit could be built on top of the rectors and neutralize the radiation Need some input here from everyone and maybe some scientists.

the bluish purplish bolt you describe sounds like what we've been seeing at Fukushima on the tepco webcam
I've been studying radiation all day and I don't think that it is possible to transmute radioactive elements such as uranium and plutonium into non-radioactive elements outside of the decay chain process.

Sleepers all over the world…I see an article on London Times about more extensions of operation life for more reactors.
I'm too tired to sign up and read it, thought maybe someone thinks it's worthy and does so if so…
