User ID: 1160795 United States 03/17/2011 06:36 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 2226: The Yomiuri Shimbun newspaper, quoting a senior official of the ruling Democratic Party of Japan, said the US made the offer immediately after the disaster damaged Fukushima No 1 nuclear plant. According to the unnamed senior official, US support was based on dismantling the troubled reactors run by Tokyo Electric Power (TEPCO) some 250 km (155 miles) northeast of Tokyo. However, the government and TEPCO thought the cooling system could be restored by themselves. The report has not been independently verified. [link to www.bbc.co.uk] |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1301282 Australia 03/17/2011 06:37 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | How many (tons) of fuel rods are kept in each Reactor? Quoting: DDanHow many (tons) of "Spent" fuel rods are kept in #4 Reactor? Spent fuel rods are not in a reactor they are in a cooling pool but it only takes 12 months and then they can be removed to dry cask storage. But they even have modules these days to store spent fuel straight away out of the reactor which keeps them cool and you can basically stack them in a warehouse 100 miles away. that's the problem, too. in japan, they left ALL of there spent fuel rods in that plant on top of the reactors. There are over 600,000 And where did the TOPS of those reactors end up?? THATS RIGHT...4000 feet in the air and are now scattered all around in little bits.. Makes ya feel all sloppy inside... |

Monday, we will find out it is still melting. They will do this for weeks. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1292567No, they will wait until the close of the market on Friday, then we will hear the truth. It will come fast and furious to keep people glued to their televisions and indoors. First, all the news organizations will report that all or most Americans have been evacuated. They will make sure everyone knows that everyone is out to prevent panic here. Then we will hear that Japan is completely fucked, nothing worked and how TEPCO officials "lied." If you believe the US government with it's spy satellites, AND a military presence in the country doesn't know exactly what is going on, then you're insane. This is a disaster. Disasters are managed. You are watching carefully controlled and released information. Expect other "optimistic" news until after the market closes on Friday. Next, they will "manage" the panic in the US. |

Ok, but how much of them (tons)?? Your not getting it although spent fuel is toxic and dangerous and is nuclear waste. Its not reacting meaning its easier to stop it melting down. They have specific module containers to store it before it usually goes back to recycling into the fuel cycle to make more. The spent fuel is not an issue its a non issue people just don't know wtf they are talking about. |

There are over 600,000 Yes but if this even was real, these spent rods can easily be removed and places into appropriate storage modules if need be. This is not the issue they are not hot reacting fuel. So why are this fuel stored in water pools then? Just for fun? |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1301244 United States 03/17/2011 06:41 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Ask yourself why the enviro shills demonize Hydro electric power? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1131751Its probably the best cleanest way of getting power we ever thought of, free power from water and gravity. Yet they demonize it and make up excuses why its not good? When it has 0 C02 output?You know why? Hydro electric = 0 carbon taxes to the NWO. Nikola Tesla designed the first hydroelectric power plant at Niagara Falls, New York which started producing electrical power in 1895. This was the beginning of the electrification of the United States and the rest of the world. Today, Tesla's AC electricity is lighting and powering the globe. Nikola Tesla is the genius who lit the world. Quoting: [link to www.teslasociety.com] Telling isn't it... Tesla had all the answers, but the greedy money grabbers chose profit and environmental doom over the betterment of mankind. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1005671 United States 03/17/2011 06:42 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Other than this power hook up. The news has been very slow today. Are the reactors really just 'stable' now? They haven't had water on them in almost 24 hours. right? Quoting: RockhuffThread: Meltdown is roughly 1 hour and 20 minutes - Steps posted Full melt down can happen in as little as 1 hour 40 minutes. Starting from running out of water. I am 99.999% sure reactor #3 is in full meltdown with Corium breaking through the final concrete barrier. Reactor #4 is suffering badly and most of the fuel rods are damaged and distorted. Reactor #1 may or may not be stable. Reactor #2 just might be saved from meltdown. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 1131751 United States 03/17/2011 06:42 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Conflicting reports: (1) Power line hooked up to Reactor #2, and (2) Power line connection to Reactor #2 will be completed after spraying operations have finished. Any idea which of these is true at this point? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1290578Answer me this, why do they need power lines hooked up? What so since last Friday they could get some generators to the site? Im sorry but that just doesn't add up.......... |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 932007 United States 03/17/2011 06:42 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I am using the hydro electric to show how the enviro shills demonize anything that wont make a profit from carbon tax. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1131751Like Hydro which is as clean as you can get. They also want to promote solar power and wind power which is manufactured and profited from mostly by the large oil companies and elite families like the Rothschilds. Like Westinghouse... Tesla designed the first hydro-electric power plant at Niagara Falls and with George Westinghouse started the electrification of the world.

That's why they are put in a special place and not placed at the local dump. Question, what do you think happens to these rods and the materials attached to them when they are placed in a fire? What happens to any metal placed in a fire? yeah, that's the problem...and those rods, still have contaniments on them. |
