– Fukushima Didn’t Just Suffer 3 Meltdowns … It Also Suffered Melt-THROUGHS and Melt-OUTS (Washington’s Blog, April 25, 2014):
The Nuclear Core Has Finally Been Found … Scattered All Over Japan
We reported in May 2011 that authorities knew – within days or weeks – that all 3 active Fukushima nuclear reactors had melted down, but covered up that fact for months.
The next month, we reported that Fukushima’s reactors had actually suffered something much worse: nuclear melt-throughs, where the nuclear fuel melted through the containment vessels and into the ground. At the time, this was described as:
The worst possibility in a nuclear accident.
But now, it turns out that some of the Fukushima reactors have suffered even a more extreme type of damage: melt-OUTS.
By way of background, we’ve noted periodically that scientists have no idea where the cores of the nuclear reactors are.
And that highly radioactive black “dirt” has been found all over Japan.
It turns out that the highly radioactive black substances are likely remnants of the core.
The Journals Environmental Science & Technology and Journal of Environmental Radioactivity both found (hat tip EneNews) that the highly radioactive black substances match fuel from the core of the Fukushima reactors.
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission agrees.
Indeed, “hot particles” with extremely high levels of radiation – 7 billion, 40 billion , and even 40 billion billion Bq/kg – have been found all over the Fukushima region, and hundreds of miles away … in Tokyo.
Let’s put this in perspective. The Atlantic notes:
Japanese regulations required nuclear waste with 100 or more bq/kg of Cesium to be monitored and disposed of in specialized containers.
***
The new government limit for material headed for landfills is 8000 bq/kg, 80 times the pre-Fukushima limit.
So the hottest hot particle found so far is 5 million billion times greater than the current government limits of what can be put in a landfill.
In other words, the core of at least one of the Fukushima reactors has finally been found … scattered all over Japan.
How did material from the cores get dispersed so far? Remember, there was a huge explosion at reactor number 1 , and an even bigger explosion at reactor number 3.
Terrifying. Also, there is much they are not telling us. Reporters are now put in prison if they report anything on the Fukushima disaster.
They have sent the people back to live there, knowing full well they will die. They ought to evacuate Tokyo, but they don’t care their people will die. I have never seen a more barbaric people………truly dreadful.
Why are they not facing the world court for global genocide? Why isn’t Tepco being charged? Instead, they made it illegal to charge them with anything to do with this disaster, and have given them over $37 billion dollars since the disaster. No wonder their debt to GDP is over 200%.
I sent this article to several people, I wonder how many will read it. The denial I see everywhere amazes me. Nobody wants to face the possibility of their own extinction.
Is this how and why ancient civilizations vanished seemingly without a trace? Man is a strange creature, and the denial used as a coping device can take over and actually kill him.
In the movie “On the Beach” 1959, the government was organized and realistic enough to provide pills to the populace to die peacefully in a post nuclear world. The fools we have running things today couldn’t find their way out of a paper bag, let alone organize something very necessary like that……
We are really screwed. Those of us with terminal illnesses are actually blessed……we won’t have to fry to death from the inside out…..it is a terrible way to die……and nothing is being done to prepare for any of it.
No services to clean up the radioactive garbage on our beaches from Japan, nothing planned to deal with the dead sea animals on our beaches the vulture animals won’t touch because they smell the disease………incompetence in depth………..
I have never seen anything like it, nothing works……nothing.
Is it possible instead of releasing radioactive water into the ocean forever is it possible to detonate a nuke and dry up the water. Thereby releasing Less radiation in the long run.
Reuse the cleansed cooling water to cool the nuclear melt There should be a law that all mined out nuclear product that is not recycled or up cycled goes back to the mines it came from. Stategic problem: the corii melt down further and eventually meet up. …for a mega hiroshima. We need spherical sacrophagi that totally enclose the meltoids to prevent water contamination otherwise there is the slow death of the planet.
