EPTThe Way I See it, if they can keep all remaining reactors from blowing up, the situation should Be sort of ok. Still, with at least 22 People getting treated for acute radiation illness Japan can consider themselves "lucky" that the wind hasn't changed direction (a us Navy Ship detected 7200 times higher than normal radiation 160km offshore. Tokyo is only 250 km from the broken down NPP iirc)

Thread is about the various issues surrounding Japan in the aftermath of the recent earthquake. Don't bring the shit side of the internet to the thread, and post with the realization that this thread is very important, and very real, to your fellow members. Do not post speculative and unconfirmed news you saw on TV or anywhere else. Generally the more dramatic it sounds the less likely it's true. | ||

Normally people get flag-blind and take offense (as comments on the CBC web page will show). However there is a massive logistical operation happening, and it is no use bringing in more people until you have a plan for them. I guess that makes sense. Still seems surprising that they wouldn't have a use for Canada though, considering this is the kind of thing Canada's army has most experience with. | ||

If you can't understand the seriousness of the likelihood of a meltdown being determined by improvised efforts to pump in seawater, you are lost. Look, all I am saying that these reactors are at risk. No system is immune to failure. Yet here we have people who somehow believe people have a delusional fear of nuclear energy and feel they need to argue against that by saying that this can't and won't go wrong. We don't know yet. A week ago you could have argued that nuclear energy is safe. You don't do that while we are in a INES 4 or 5 incident. Not to mention that the Japanese government was warned these reactors were not safe. They were lucky that the epicenter of this quake wasn't closer to the reactor itself. There is still a risk of it going very wrong. It is not theoretically impossible and not completely improbable either, but no one knows for sure. Show some humility. Your saying the act of pumping in sea water is an improvised effort? Such scenario is already thought of, that is why plants are built around big body of water. We aren't saying nuclear energy can't go wrong. We are just pointing out with the current scenario, you're just fear mongering. Edit: Nuclear power is such a hot topic right now, people talks about it non stop on radio. | ||

Clear enough for you? Actually, I am one of the few people providing worthy information while others attack me. Read the thread before criticizing me. I won't criticize you without reading your posts either. Show me the same courtesy. As for shitting up a thread, you calling me out has done exactly that and you have only yourself to blame. You should have taken it to PMs. User was temp banned for this post. | ||

I read more than One source about this matter. I translated those from a german News Site, but As this is an english speaking Forum I See no point in linking to them.

What? What newspost are you reading? bild? The german news might report more drastically than the rest (or at least than us/japan), but none reliable news reported a super-gau. (if I'm wrong provide a link) But please stop making the german news worse than it is. | ||

That aside, NHK is saying there's a chance that the #2 rods are completely exposed... | ||
