Dr. Michio Kaku, Theoretical Physicist: Fukishima Daiichi Nuclear Facility is a "Ticking Time Bomb". The Japanese government is trying to calm fears about radiation levels and food safety in the region around the heavily damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power facility, even as it has raised the severity rating of the crisis to the highest possible level. "Radiation is continuing to leak out of the reactors, the situation is not stable at all," We are talking meltdown of three reactors not one as in Chernobyl!
Europeans Warned To Avoid Drinking Milk Or Eating Vegetables Due To High Radiation Levels, the radiation risk from Fukushima is "no longer negligible," says CRIIRAD, the French research authority on radioactivity. It is now warning expectant mothers and young children to avoid drinking milk or rainwater. They should also avoid certain types of vegetables and cheese due to the dangerously high levels of radiation they may contain thanks to the radioactive fallout spreading across the globe
The operators of Japan's Fukushima nuclear plant say they are moving equipment to higher ground after a series of strong aftershocks that have hampered efforts to repair the crippled facility. The latest strong tremor came at about 6 a.m. local time Thursday, with a magnitude of 6.1. It was the fourth aftershock since Monday with a magnitude of 6 or greater and the 14th with a magnitude greater than 5. Hundreds of aftershocks have rattled Japan's northeastern coast since the massive 9.0 earthquake and tsunami on March 11 that knocked out the plant's cooling systems. They are afraid another big one is coming.
I reiterate for those that need or want it: Cement all 4 reactors and get on with it! Even Chernobyl was encased by now, what is Tepco and Japan waiting for?
The growing concerns of nearby South Korea and China about radioactive fallout from Japan were underscored when China's health ministry reported trace amounts of radioactive iodine in spinach in three Chinese provinces. Japan's fishermen and farmer's are more than angry that their livelihoods are being destroyed and receiving a mere apology.
Radioactivity from the Fukishima plants has now been detected throughout the US, Canada, Russia, Scotland, the UK, South Korea, around the world, this is an environmental catastrophe our frail planet did not need.!
This really concerns me because the crisis in Japan just keeps getting worse despite the lies. It had to cross the country to get here on the east coast of the United States. This is not the legacy Japan wanted to leave for its children nor the one I want for mine. I have been saying from the beginning that this was going to dwarf Chernobyl and it will. It was obvious they were lying from the beginning and they still are.
They found that #2 and #3 were leaking plutonium and uranium directly in the sea but don't worry it will be diluted. What? That reactor three is the only one of the 6 that uses the deadliest of the deadly, a mixture of plutonium and uranium. Now we are hearing there is another in as bad a shape and they are worried about another hydrogen explosion from #1.. Seal them in cement now before things get any worse. Chernobyl was a 7 now they are talking 7, eventually it will be a 10 or for which they of yet do not have a classification.
I was blown away that Chernobyl is now a vacation destination knowing how much they are still hiding and that 25 years later the Germans pay hunters half a million apiece for wild boars to keep them off the table as they are still radioactive. This is 4 reactors and will dwarf Chernobyl!
Radioactive fallout from the Chernobyl nuclear disaster is still poisoning Germany's boars nearly 25 years on, with authorities fighting to keep toxic meat off the market as the wild boar population rockets. Besides all the other problems there is still a 35 square mile area around Chernobyl that is dead and off limits.

Even though I dont know much about this sort of thing or nuclear too much ... I go with my instinct and your thought's as far as getting the cementing in motion, because it's at least "something", and perhap's can buy a lil time at least ... I mean ... this is a goddamn mess ... and I would piss on an armadillo if I thought it would buy me some "think time" for that matter. One thing that didnt even cross my mind in this, was what the expert ole boy with the hat brought up in the vid about the difficulty of being able to operate electronic's/ robotic's with these level's of radiation at the site. The sad thing to me ... is you know damn well there are going to be more quake's and threat's from nature as time goes, so even if and when this got cleaned up, and even despite any new safeguard's ... the earth is going to act ... well .... as the earth has alway's acted, and land's staying in motion. I'm not trying to be pessimistic .. but I would love to just hear any idea of how we can safeguard our future against anything other like this? yet still continue to advance more in nuclear ... because I see no sign that we are going to stop either ... and we all know the economic reason's too. No tellin what the new mega giant's will be doing on this in the near furure either (China and India) ... I can tell you this though ... even though China has a bunch invested in green- tech's ... they are also booming with new coal plant's too., where they stand on nuclear? I havent a clue. I reckon that's economically hitting two bird's with one stone, and in theory a hypocrisy.
Thanx for the update ... I just cooked up some "Huevo Ranchero's" ...cause I have to hit the road early (South Teaxs toward's the Rio Grande Valley), which is flour tortilla's, wrapped around some egg's with beef chorizo (mexicano sausage) that I mix up with onion's, pepper's, spice's, some queso (mexicano cheese). Just in case you werent familiar with them. Thank goodness I didnt have to use radioactive ingredient's! :)
Later Guy ....
You know RC, that's not being pessimistic it is being a realist. I get pissed off every time I hear Repugs say we can drill safely today. We saw the safety in the gulf.
Our misleaders will not be happy till they destroy this planet in the name of making money. It is debilitating watching what is going on. It really sucks and we are powerless.
Thanks for the explanation, I wouldn't know being from Ma. I have not eaten Mexican since Denver "Casa Bonita's"
