Meltdown??
Japanese sources just announced that a meltdown may be under way at one of their nuke plants. Yesterday we heard that this was extremely unlikely but today?? Damage throughout country appears far worse than originally thought!

i find it interesting that the news is not really focusing on the leak. i dont think thats good.
can that radioactive cloud hit the U.S.? |

They're still waiting on the plumber's union to agree to a contract to restore the cooling pipes...
Just kidding of course. I hope that they catch a break here and get that thing safely contained VERY soon! |
The Japanese are amazing engineers, look at those Tokyo buildings swaying feet in the earthquake, but not falling down. Which is why it is astounding, with their care and redundancy and history of excellence, that we are facing three reactor meltdowns because there isn't electricity to run the cooling. And the backup generators don't work, because they didn't think of raising them above disaster flood level.

Mini-reactors seems an extraordinarily promising and affordable nuclear energy. Exactly the type of green innovation we should be heavily funding (google this for more recent info, you can see Toshiba, Bill Gates, lots of people going this way):
http://www.guardian.co.uk/environmen...ors-los-alamos That is a far safer nuclear energy I can fully support. Not to mention what it could do for 3rd world countries, emergency energy needs, etc. Can you imagine your neighborhood purchasing it's own energy source? Outstanding! |
A Power plant getting blown up, cuz they don't have enough power. That's a real beauty.

I wouldnt be so sure about the radiation in the atmosphere not being able to reach the U.S. If you look at the jet stream and water to surface airflow patterns it is possible for some to come to the U.S. hitting Hawaii first and then catching the pinapple express and making its way into So-Cali.

A third explosion, and a fire in a reactor extinguished, and threat of weak radiation reaching Tokyo.
:eek::( |

At this site you can see if you are about to grow a second head...... |
fubar..sell your g.e stock short..by the way there in nothing in those buildings you see on tv thats explosive..they are trying to seal the unit. that was demo.then they will pour 50k yards of concrete on it.the use of seawater 5 days ago is last and final option. guess the tree huggers blew this one...fossil fuels rule..hey obama still want to put small nukes all over..:rolleyes:
