OT – Nuclear Fallout Map

[ILoveRegulation]

It’s easy for any thinking person who doesn’t buy into the BS from Tepco to see that this disaster is already worse than Chernobyl.

The Chernobyl exclusion zone was set based on a level of 555,000 becquerels of cesium-137. This level corresponded to a roughly 30 km exclusion zone around Chernobyl. In Japan levels nearly 4 times that amount are being found at locations beyond 30 km from the Fukushima nuclear plant.

This disaster isn’t close to being over yet. Even the Tepco officials themselves are saying that it will take months or maybe even years to bring the plant under control. The radiation levels are only going to get worse in Japan and around the world.

This nuclear disaster is a total nightmare. I cannot imagine how the Japanese are dealing with this on top of the earthquake(s) and tsunami.

This is one of the better sites I’ve found for getting actual solid data and information on Fukushima.

There is a report on the right which is predicting 200,000 additional cancers in Japan as a result of Fukushima.

At the end of the latest video (April 10th) from fairewinds, Arnie says that reactor #2 is in meltdown. Arnie says that reactor #3 may be in meltdown.

What people may not know about Chernobyl is that it wasn’t just encased in concrete. There were miners who dug under the plant and put in a cooling slab to prevent a meltdown to the water table which would have resulted in a huge explosion:

Following the explosion, a massive concrete ‘sarcophagus’ (cover) was constructed around the damaged no. 4 Reactor. This sarcophagus encases the damaged nuclear reactor and was designed to halt the release of further radiation into the atmosphere. The first task in containing the destroyed reactor was to build a ‘cooling slab’ under the reactor to prevent the still-hot reactor fuel from burning a hole in the base of the reactor. Coal miners were drafted in to dig this tunnel under the reactor and by 24 June four hundred coal miners had built the 168m long tunnel under the reactor.

So you can’t just encase Fukushima in concrete and go on your merry way. Someone would need to dig underneath the plant and build a slab to stop the molten nuclear fuel from reaching the water table and blowing everything sky high. There is something like 26 times as much nuclear fuel (including the spent fuel ponds) at Fukushima as compared to Chernobyl.

This thing isn’t over yet by a long shot. Russia actually brought in a massive force of people to help contain Chernobyl. There were something like 500,000 ‘liquidators’ who helped in cleanup and meltdown prevention at Chernobyl.

At Fukushima, there is a crew of 400 and as far as I know, no one is digging under the plants to put in slabs to prevent a total meltdown to the water table. Let’s hope those 40-year-old reactors are able to completely contain the molten nuclear fuel.

Good documentary on what it took to contain Chernobyl (if you have a spare hour and a half).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiCXb1Nhd1o

The risk of a second, more massive explosion (meltdown to the water table) was covered up for 20 years. Who knows what risks Tepco knows about but aren’t telling the public about.
