A Very Interesting Look at what COULD HAPPEN at Fukushima

Nevermind, I found it.

Time is a respected outlet .
The article
The article is very scary indeed. OMG. Are we really all going to die or be suffering severe radiation illness ?
My guess is the chances are
My guess is the chances are slim that a major event would occur, but the possibility is certainly there. Fukushima should be the number one issue on the global agenda, but it seems as though the Middle East has take precedence.
Now that we have info that we can all act on.....
Should I cancel my summer vacation plans?
Ain't that cheery. I don't
Ain't that cheery.
I don't see how we can stop a China Syndrome now. Three reactors are in meltdown. At least one is already "on the floor". Blue flashes of light were seen at the plant over the weekend, possibly neutron beams, which would mean more fissioning, which would mean more of all isotopes are being released.
Yet the powers that be still support - no push - nuclear power and warheads. Seriously, do they want an inhabitable planet for humans?
No one really knows what will happen in the future. After all, you could be hit by a bus tomorrow.
Anything on
Anything on godlikeproductions is suspect, and this article has been floating around for a few days now.
I would agree that the fuel has melted, but doubt that it is going through the concrete floor. They are cooling it off, and hopefully things can be brought under control.
200 Sv in Reactor
I actually think Godlike has become a lot less suspect in terms of how they pin their information. There are certainly conspiracies galore, but is Fukushima a conspiracy or reality? That's the real question.
I'd love to hear from BRAWN on what could happen at Fukushima in different scenarios. I heard today that reactor 1 is now over 200 Sv, which is instant death, but don't know if that's been confirmed as of yet. It's obviously far from over.
Heard 200 Sv from what source?
Can you provide a link? From everything I'm reading
from NHK, the workers are doing all kinds of things
around the plant. I think there would be something
in the news if they were forced to evacuate or had
faced instant death.
Corium criticality
it has been speculated that the 200 Sv(on energy news) an hr. means that the corium has
achieved recriticality and is emitting neutron beams as it now makes its
way through the cement and into the ground and groundwater. Time
will tell what this will do. Pray there is not huge explosions as enormous
amounts of radioactivity will be coming our way.
Any other explanations how come there is 200 Sv an hour.?
"Any other explanations how
"Any other explanations how come there is 200 Sv an hour.?"
Just a guess, but there are many, many, tons of high-level, unshielded, radioactive fuel lying about inside the reactor.
In addition, neutron flux from the unshielded material has made steel and other materials radioactive as well, adding to the output.
Recriticality needs neutrons to occur. If TEPCO is still seeing neutron beams, it's likely this is happening.
However, as time goes on, the core will reconfigure itself to a minimum energy state (entropy). In that time, they heat output drops to 20%, then 10%, then down to less than 1% at one year. If the heat output is falling, the fission is not sustainable and the core is solidifying.
At what point would it reconfigure itself?
If the temperature continues to rise would the fission process enable a larger explosion if the boron is no longer able to help slow the process down? I'm wondering at what point the temperatures would actually drop if the boron is the only thing slowing it down.
I know there's a ton of unanswered questions and everyone is probably guessing at this point, but you have to imagine that if Fukushima is still releasing these types of radioactive levels that something far larger than the initial explosions could occur.
