Architect of Reactor 3 warns of massive hydrovolcanic explosion
Posted by Mochizuki on November 19th, 2011

Architect of Fukushima Daiichi Reactor 3, Uehara Haruo, the former president of Saga University had an interview on 11/17/2011.

In this interview, he admitted Tepco's explanation does not make sense, and that the China syndrome is inevitable.

He stated that considering 8 months have passed since 311 without any improvement, it is inevitable that melted fuel went out of the container vessel and sank underground, which is called China syndrome.

He added, if fuel has reaches a underground water vein, it will cause contamination of underground water, soil contamination and sea contamination. Moreover, if the underground water vein keeps being heated for long time, a massive hydrovolcanic explosion will be caused.

He also warned radioactive debris is spreading in Pacific Ocean. Tons of the debris has reached the Marshall Islands as of 11/15/2011.

1. I had metallic taste in my mouth for much of the spring.

We live in Northern California. Now we only have cheese that has been aged for two years.

During the summer, with absolutely no rain dispersed from the Pacific, and with the change in cheese, no longer any metallic taste in my mouth.

It will be interesting to see if/when we get wind and rain from the Japanese islands over the next several months if that metallic taste returns.

2. Nuclear plants are not viable.

It is insane to imagine that man can make completely safe (no possibility of failure) nuclear plants.

Additionally, to imagine that man can safely store the radioactive wastes produced from these plants, for millions (even hundreds) of years, is absolutely insane. Quick profits are destroying our world. At least the 1% can enjoy the obscene profit from our extinction for a generation or two...

Go OWS, please.

3. Jesus Christ people... China Syndrome!?

4. I was told by a sales rep for GE that one of the spent fuel ponds was completely melted down

As I work in a power plant I was told by a sales rep, conventional not nuke, for GE that they heard one of the spent fuel ponds was completely melted down. Now that was from a person who heard it second third fourth hand? But GE did design those reactors

5. Inevitable? This hyperventilating nonsense is more than 3 months old.

The crap in the video you linked from three months ago didn't happen.

The crap in the now-month-old video with Ian Fairlie hasn't happened yet. Nor is it a given that fuel that melted down in the RPV, and even melted through the RPV, MUST eventually melt through the containment, and the building.

Fukushima Dai-ichi 1-4 are a godawful mess, but intentionally trying to scare the shit out of people with nonsense is despicable.

6. Researchers in LA made this video last week! RADIOACTIVE Los Angeles AIR 11-16-11

Disturbing readings from one of Radiation Station Central's HEPA filters after just 30 days of use: 308% of normal background higher. Alpha and beta radiation captured by the filter can be attributed to the triple Fukushima Japan meltdowns, melt-throughs and melt-outs and the decision to begin burning 550,000 tons of radioactive debris in Tokyo from October to March, sending a double dose of radioactive fallout on the Jet Stream over the Pacific to land on America, Canada and beyond. Finding this high a level of radiation is considered dangerous by the United States Environmental Protection Agency. Ingested alpha particles can be up to 1,000 times more dangerous than their beta and gamma counterparts.

I know what radiation can do I'm a graduate from the US Army school Prime Power original called Army Reactor Group. I have been inside the building that houses SM1. The shit is not safe at all and like I said I have heard a GE rep say the fuel ponds melted. Go ahead and believe it is safe the Government would not lie to you now would it!

7. Can you point out where I said it was safe?

It's clearly not.

But the 'china syndrome' bullshit has been shouted from the rooftops for months, as you can see in the date stamps of your own video (august). It does not appear to have happened. I see no reason to think that ANOTHER warning 3 months later is any more accurate.

It is entirely possible for the geometry of the containment floor, the coolant, and the fission poisons in the catchment to render the corium incapable of penetrating through the floor of the containment.

Nor is there much we can do even if it is possible, based on these 'warnings'. The containment is leaking water. Highly radioactive water. At least one of the reactor buildings has tilted due to soil erosion. Who wants to dig under these things to lay more concrete, below the water table? Doesn't sound like fun to me, let alone technically feasible.

We're essentially along for the ride now, on whether the containments hold or not. These screaming doooooooooooom videos about china syndrome distract from the very real and immediate problems like what to do with all the contaminated soil across Japan. What to do about the fuel pools. What to do about xyz shit that is actually broken, that we know is broken, and MUST act upon.

8. After I got out of the hospital in

New Orleans from having a heart attack, I had a letter from the carpenters Union waiting for me. It said that I had possibly been exposed to contamination from helping to build a nuclear waste site in Ohio. I contacted the agency phone number listed. When I followed up to schedule my medical exam, 2 weeks later, the number was disconnected and the Union said they had not heard from this agency again. Can anyone say "cover-up?"
