Japan Earthquake 2011: Nuclear Plant Explosion, No Radiation Rise #prayforjapan
Contrary to reports at The Huffington Post, the explosion at the massive Tokyo Power Electric Co. Fukushima Dai-ichi plant did not cause a rise in radiation levels.
AlJazeeraEnglish on YouTube just issued a new video, the one above, reporting that the metal container that shelters the reactor has not been effected. Radiation is not rising, but decreasing. This information was released by the Japanese Government.
The blast was originally feared to have caused a radiation level increase. Four workers were killed.
Al Jazzera reports that a state of emergency has been declared for five nuclear reactors at two different sites in Fukushima.
As of this writing, the Japan Earthquake 2011 death toll is at 600, although it's believed that number will be revised upward as time progresses.

Here is one theory: ice melts on polar cap, which reduces weight on plate, which causes it to rise: hence the earthquake. This could be a man made, global warming disaster. And STILL those who are supposed to represent us won't get their act together and make the urgent cuts needed.
ReplyDeleteOn the nuclear, is anyone aware of any modelling of where the debris might drift if the plant melts down? How wide will the fallout spread? Which countries?
FYI, the latest videos are here:

But no agency has produced any modelling as far as I can establish.
There's nothing that can be done to stop it. Japanese authoritie¬s should evacuate everyone it can from the surroundin¬g area and destroy the reactor. The area will now be uninhabita¬ble. You wanted nuclear power? There it is. This is bad, really bad. Now they aren’t going to be able to get any water into that particular reactor. This is going to make Chernobyl look like a campfire
