Long term readers here were aware in 2011 that there had been multiple meltdowns at Fukushima. Though the main stream media reports of the day denied and denied that fact- My posts from 2011 will be relinked after the latest news reports. Sadly the most recent media articles mention the 3 meltdowns in a very casual manner- as if attempting to gloss over or obscure the fact that this triple meltdown occurred nearly 6 years ago and the subsequent radiation contamination continues to be a problem for the planet to this very dayTechtimes
Azby Brown of citizen science organization Safecast said that while the radiation level proves “astoundingly high,” it does not readily represent any alarming radiation level change at the nuclear site. It’s just that they were measured that far inside the reactor for the first time.
“[I]t does not mean that levels there are rising, but that a previously unmeasurable high-radiation area has finally been measured,”
Two items I’d like to address regarding above information: First: Safecast appears to be the media go to group. I wondered why that was and checked them out! Safecast : “which takes no position on nuclear power, is supported by foundations, grants and individual donations.” I cannot find their financial information on siteClaiming to take no position can simply mean Safecast doesn't want to state a position
“Safecast is funded by individuals, grants, and charitable foundations, however financial contributors and donors have no input on Safecast methods or mission.”
NGO? If Safecast's statement is to be taken at face value, why not publish the donor list? Is it not published because to do so would incriminate Safecast? Is this a lie by omission? 2nd: You are supposed to find statements such as the one made by Azby Brown reassuring. But should we? While it may be true that "radiation levels that prove astoundingly high" may not necessarily indicate a rise in radiation- It can equally be true that these very high readings, finally taken, indicate that extremely high levels of radiation have been contaminating the environment for nearly 6 years now! These high levels also indicate to us that this will continue on unabated. That’s not reassuring.Science AlertReactor 2:
"Even the remote-operated camera sent in to capture these images is only designed to withstand 1,000 sieverts of radiation, which means it won't last more than two hours in the No. 2 reactor.It's not yet clear exactly what's causing the high levels either. It's possible that previous readings were incorrect or not detailed enough, and levels have always been this high. Or maybe something inside the reactor has changed.The fact that these readings were so high in this particular location suggests that maybe melted reactor fuel escaped the pressure vessel, and is located somewhere nearby.Adding to that hypothesis is the fact that the images reveal a gaping 1-metre (3.2-foot) hole in the metal grate underneath the pressure vessel - which could indicate that nuclear fuel had melted out of it. On Monday, Tepco also saw "black chunks" deposited on the grating directly under the pressure vessel - which could be evidence of melted fuel rods"
The hole could have been caused when the fuel escaped the pressure vessel after the mega-quake and massive tsunami triggered a station blackout that crippled the plant’s ability to cool the reactors.If confirmed, this would be a huge deal, because in the six years since the three Fukushima reactors went into meltdown, no one has ever been able to find any trace of the nuclear fuel rods.
In the six years since the three Fukushima reactors went into meltdown....
“The world’s worst nuclear disaster since Chernobyl in 1986 triggered core meltdowns in reactors 1 through 3. Portions of the core in each reactor are believed to have melted through their pressure vessels and pooled at the bottom of their containment vessels.
Triggered core meltdowns in reactors 1 through 3.
The actual condition of the melted fuel remains unknown because the radiation is too high to check it”
There it is. Finally. After years of lying and covering up. Three reactors went into meltdown, immediately after the earthquake and tsunami, exactly as I'd informed my readers of, nearly 6 years ago.. After taking time to reread those older postings I remain as disheartened now as then.
All of March 2011 posts covering Fukushima's Triple Meltdown
March 14/2011: Nuclear Power is the Problem, Not the Solution
March 15/2011: Japan: Spent fuel pond ablaze, radiation spewing and a third explosion!
March 15/2011: Japan hit by 6.0 aftershock
March 17/2011: Fukushima, GE design flaws, MOX Plutonium fuel at #3 plant, and interviews
Where to begin with this one....I want to be wrong, and I hope to be wrong. But, I fear that Japan is far, far worse then we are being told, quite humbly I will say, Dire is the word that comes to mind. Please let me be wrong.
March 18/2011: Mark1 problems long known, Spent Fuel more threatening then reactorsMarch 21/2011: # 3 MOX plant at Fukishima, smoke reported today. Questioning the reporting
You may wonder why, why do you persist on this topic? Mainly because I am of the opinion we are being lied to. All of us. Not just the Japanese, but, all the people of the globe.Governments lie to us daily. To cover up for their business and banking cronies. It is a fact.Any look over the most recent news, that is if you are really paying attention, would surely mean you are aware of that.So it is back to Japan, nuclear reactors and radiation and plutonium poisoning. Specifically, we are going back to the # 3 plant at the nuclear complex. This is the one I have addressed on several occasions. This is the MOX fuel plant.
March 22/2011: Fukushima: Core Meltdowns, nuclear lobbyists working overtime, non-existent US evacuation plans & Ann Coulter (crackpot)
Yesterday it was actually reported, finally, that three of the Fukushima reactors are in meltdown.U.S. nuclear advocates try to limit political impact of Japan reactor crisisNuclear power advocates are waging an intense lobbying campaign on Capitol Hill this week in an attempt to limit the political fallout from the reactor crisis in Japan.
Spurred on by federal subsidies and potential climate-change legislation, the nuclear industry has dramatically stepped up its federal lobbying and campaign contributions in recent years, records show.
Briefly: Keeping the Fukushima disaster quiet serves the globalist in building their desired profitable money making/smart control technocracy- They want everything to run electrically for the sheer ability to control- everything- Centralized power control grid. Your smart everything in your smart city will run on electric power generated by many more nuclear power plants- Control, control, control.March 23/2011: Stuxnet /Fukushima: Connected? Why and Why notMarch 23/2011: Skimming headlines for the "facts" on FukushimaMarch 24/ 2011: Fukushima: Meltdowns, neutron beams, yellow rain & radiated workers
As I reported to you some days ago, there was at least 3 nuclear reactors in some state of meltdown.
Finally a mainstream piece, from Egypt, has reported this today!It was actually confirmed on March 18/2011 by the Japanese IAEA that 3 reactor cores were damaged-
You would never know any of this if you watched the likes of CNN or any of the other western mainstream propaganda outlets. Who have been busily covering for their corporate masters...But, I digress once again. A neutron beam has been reported emanating from FukushimaNeutron beam observed 13 times at crippled Fukushima nuke plantTokyo Electric Power Co. said Wednesday it has observed a neutron beam, a kind of radioactive ray, 13 times on the premises of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant after it was crippled by the massive March 11 quake-tsunami disaster.So Fukushima has been in meltdown from the beginning!
Neutrons are emitted during a nuclear chain reaction; so given the context, is Kyodo's report to be taken as indicating that a chain reaction took place after the reactors shut down?
March 28/2011:Fukushima: Damaged containment vessels, including # 4, poisons in the ocean, plutonium in the soil.
Let's face it, if TEPCO is finally acknowledging this as a possibility, you KNOW the reactor containment vessels are damaged and have been since the beginning.Damaged containment vessels are present in reactor #1, #2 and #3 (MOX fuel)I have covered the three crippled plants and the MOX fuel in several previous posts.So if your new or haven't been paying attention I will relink them all at the bottom.Tokyo Electric Power Co. acknowledged for the first time possible damage to core pressure containers at the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant--the last line of defense in preventing radioactive materials from spewing out.
March 29/2011: Japan may have lost race for containment in Unit # 2March 30/2011: Fukushima: Radiation soars in Seawater, Plutonium poisons soil, 4 plants decomissioned, Media lies, No safe levels of radiationIt's certainly a sad collective memory.
