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. | ||

A third blast hits reactor 2, damaging the containment vessel. The radiation is now free to leak out. "The warning comes after the plant was rocked by a third blast which appears to have damaged one of the reactors' containment vessels for the first time." "Radiation levels around Fukushima for one hour's exposure rose to eight times the legal limit for exposure in one year, said the plant's operator, the Tokyo Electric Power Co (Tepco)."

Damaged != breached, as the article points out. Edit: Although, the "analysis"-section says: "It appears that for the first time, the containment system around one of the Fukushima Daiichi reactors has been breached." Seems like speculation on their part though. | ||

Please stop posting foreign media's rehashed, inaccurate "stories" that have already been accurately detailed with direct Japanese sources. | ||

I'm sorry the reality of the situation conflicts with your views. Is the radiation reading a lie? give me a break. | ||

Two 8sqm holes are reported in the containment unit of reactor 2. Edit: This is from about 30 minutes ago. The german media is reporting of 8 sqm holes in the wall of reactor 4. So nothing too bad. (I guess they mean the wall that was fully blown away at 1, 2 and 3 right?). They don't report of such holes in the containment of reactor 2. | ||

Watching NHK news now, I can see the huge crack. | ||

Is the radiation reading a lie? give me a break. A breach which allows the nuclear fuel to leak out is a VERY different situation from elevated levels of radiation due to e.g. released steam. | ||

Normally I wouldn't worry, but with the reactors about to sneeze it's a little scary. | ||

Said containment on #2 just minutes ago. I'll go back to reading proper articles I suppose. This LR style reporting is pretty ridiculous. | ||

The article even mentions the fire in reactor 4 might be the source of the elevated radiation. I'm not downplaying the seriousness of a possible breach, but don't go around saying "the radiation is now free to leak out" if it's not definite. | ||
