Fukushima Water Purifying System HAS NEVER WORKED!

– Actual Fukushima worker talks: water purifying system has never worked (Fukushima Diary, Dec. 6, 2011):

Following up this article 220 tons of highly radioactive water leaked and a part of it leaked to the sea

The water purifying system has never worked properly.

It was urgently constructed, the whole system can’t stand anymore.

These are the tweets of actual Fukushima worker Happy20790.

He explains how it is on the sight.

Translation:

The contaminated water leaks a lot recently. This time, it went out of the “building” so it was reported but actually it happens frequently.

I called it “a building”, but it’s actually a temporary tent on a temporary concrete basement. It leaked from the first operation, so they made a tiny dam in it. Maybe it’s only 20cm high.

I don’t get into the tent recently because it’s too radioactive, but I used to pump up leaked contaminated water. The contaminated water emits a lot of beta ray, so you need to be careful.

This time, Tepco’s spokesman said it was 110 mSv/h, but it is higher at some points.

The concrete basement was constructed really urgently. They built the tent even before the concrete dried so it got cracked already. Other tent may have the same problems too.

Unlike our ordinary contract, makers only set the facility, they don’t take responsibility of handing or maintenance.

As I tweeted before, this water purifying system is not a long-lasting system. It is a temporary system without proper planning process. In order to release cooling water to the sea, we must install more proper facility.

Now the gutter is directly connected to the sea. They must be shut down or a dam must be made. Currently every time it rains, radiation on the ground and radiation stuck to the plants flow into the sea directly.

Makers and workers are already withdrawing from Fukushima plants, but Tepco has no long term plan. They need to predict the future risk and prevent it from happening in advance.

WTF: Why Is China Building These Gigantic Structures In the Middle of the Desert?

More structures here:

– WTF – Why Is China Building These Gigantic Structures In the Middle of the Desert? (GIZMODO, Nov 13, 2011):

This is crazy. New photos have appeared in Google Maps showing unidentified titanic structures in the middle of the Chinese desert. The first one is an intricate network of what appears to be huge metallic stripes. Is this a military experiment?

Update: readers are finding more weird stuff.

They seem to be wide lines drawn with some white material. Or maybe the dust have been dug by machinery.

It’s located in Dunhuang, Jiuquan, Gansu, north of the Shule River, which crosses the Tibetan Plateau to the west into the Kumtag Desert. It covers an area approximately one mile long by more than 3,000 feet wide.

The tracks are perfectly executed, and they seem to be designed to be seen from orbit.

Perhaps it’s some kind of targeting or calibrating grid for Chinese spy satellites? Maybe it’s a QR code for aliens? Nobody really knows.

You can check it out yourself in Google Maps here.

Video Of China Completing 15 Story Hotel In 6 Days

Repeat after us – there is no Chinese bubble </sarc>.

Although none is needed, here is some commentary:

As the United States and China battle over the finer points of currency manipulation at the G-20 summit, American negotiators may want to take note of this startling testimonial to the productivity of Chinese workers: A construction crew in the south-central Chinese city of Changsha has completed a 15-story hotel in just six days. If nothing else, this remarkable achievement will stoke further complaints from American economic pundits that China’s economy is far more accomplished than ours in tending to such basics as construction.
