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. | ||

That's about as vague as you can get, NO ONE can draw a conclusion from that | ||

" 2208: However, there has been no sharp rise in radiation levels at reactor 2, Mr Edano adds." I believe they mean reactor 2 as you can see the followup statement references reactor 2. This is reported on BBC. | ||

the problem with reactor no. 2 is that NYT says there might be a leak, so they can't actually completely fill up the reactor vessel with seawater anymore. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/15/world/asia/15nuclear.html?_r=1&ref=global-home | ||

That does NOT sound good They've already been doing that since the beginning to avoid a vapor explosion. The steam is absolutely nothing as a threat compared to a real leak. Btw, they announced the containment building from the 2nd reactor has a leak, but the radiation did not rise. I can't understand how it could not rise, apart from the fact there's no meltdown in it. And even so, this seems strange. NEWS : An explosion has been heard at n°2. | ||

Reactor 1 and 3 both survived an explosion, however they stated reactor 2 containment vessel had a defect.. that is what worries me. Plus it was only 'heard' so lets wait and see. Hopefully everything is still intact. | ||
