Tepco completes covering seafloor with layers of cement mix — More coating used at Reactors 5 & 6 than for Reactors 1, 2, 3 & 4 combined (PHOTOS & VIDEOS)

Per TEPCO Reactors 5 and 6 HAD NO DAMAGE..right? So why the concrete. SUBSIDENCE? That dirty little word? And those reactors 5 and 6 are in cold shutdown..right? Or are we starting on the slow drip drip of info before the REAL story comes out…?? TEPCO you are a piece of work..At least we can point to TEPCO when we complain to OUR LOCAL nuke plant companies. TEPCO could not cover the accident costs/problems..so what is the new and improved plan for OTHER nuke companies? One lesson learned..they need more MONEY and MORE INSURANCE!

Poor… Cover… Poor some more… Cover up some more…

kinda lends new meaning to sweeping it under the carpet…

LOL
Sweeping it under the cement flooring…

Now we know where they're going to dump everything.
It's all PR at this point. Scrape what they can and get it into the ocean as soon as possible. Once the site is scraped clean and pretty, most people will think everything is over.
Until the euthanasia vans start rolling . . .

And all those funny looking black containers which were placed/dropped into the water..just COVER those things up with LAYERS of CONCRETE. Next generation can worry about it. Sadly, Mr. TEPCOman, one has to ask WHAT next generation will be healthy enough to work the problem?
One question to ask..what happened at Reactors 5 and 6 to require as much concrete or MORE than Reactors 1-4? Were more containers dumped into the ocean? More meltdown corium heading for the ocean..or is the ground so unstable..I hope its not the last. Subsidence(loss of ground HEIGHT) could be raising its ugly head. That is bad– almost as bad as Reactor 1-4 "payloads."
Also note the non-concern of "radiation" going out into the OCEAN. What do they think the ocean is? An endless pit? Its not.

Next comes the COREXIT.

someone told me recently that they knew people who STILL went surfing at Fukushima. now with a concrete floor, that's what I'd call surfing between a rock and a hard place. if you are crazy enough to surf a fukushima you should hope for a quick death plunge. Bonzai!!!

Any one wanna post the 5-6 payloads, its too sad for me…..
They are significantly larger than 1-4….Tho they have less latent fuel, as they are newer, their fuel load was larger..

Monday, January 30, 2012 Reactor 6 loses 7 tons of water. So we know it is still leaking..just like the others.
"Tokyo Electric said 7 tons of water had leaked from the No.6 reactor."

A daily amount of 100 cubic meters of water will be sprayed
The move is aimed at preventing trees felled on the plant compound from catching fire and dust containing radioactive materials from scattering, the utility said.

Thank you Maiden.

hmmm… this looks more like bulkhead stabilization than "covering soil" – it abuts retaining walls and if memory serves correctly, the original geotechnical sections submitted to get the permits illustrated a fracture – the fracture has probably been rocked by the corium "earthquakes" of late. Chances are they are trying to make sure the 6 reactors don't go swimming. Typical engineering solution -
