***BREAKING*** USMC unit specializing in emergency nuclear response being deployed to Japan, to arrive Friday

Let me guess, it was last night and the thread heading was something like samsung or sony is watching you??? Putting key loggers in new equipment? Yah i know.. i just got back from dealing with it. I did not get the persons # but i hope someone did and they ban it from here. Where are the MODS??????? This site should be monitored better!!!!!

URGENT: Radioactivity 10,000 times the limit found from groundwater: TEPCO

cheap labor. they won't have to pay
them $5,000 a day.

That's good news, robots are what we need to work in that environment. Heck, they probably designed and built them in the time since this disaster started. The Germans are good!

Zombie patrol. They'll never get out alive.

That's logistics for ya, a dollar short and a day late.

Love it... let's see how bad it really gets, no no no, really really gets... okay, it looks pretty bad, but let's WAIT until it gets really really bad... then we'll talk about it and agree if it's really that bad. If it ends up being really that bad, then let's make a plan to discuss what to do, then let's just wait.

When was the appropriate time to go in and put that cigarette out? When it falls out of the ash tray? No. When the couch catches fire? Nah. When the curtains go up? Nope. Let's just wait until the whole thing burns to the ground, then let's put that baby out. What's the world waiting for, the 911 call? It ain't coming bitches.

Robots will only be able to do the cleanup work that easily accessible. Eventually humans will be needed for the damaged areas that a robot could get stuck in.

These robots will have to be destroyed and buried when their work is completed. They need to establish a nuclear graveyard where they can bury all of the machinery used for this cleanup. Sadly they'll probably just sink it into some deep trench in the Pacific and use a nuke to cover it up on the bottom.

Imagine a robot with "feet" all the way around it (as a sphere), designed to push and squeeze itself through a wide variety of spaces. And with some special purpose tools to do specific needed tasks there. Done right, a robot could be more maneuverable than a human, and we have years of top universities and some companies working on robotics.

Of course the robot would be destroyed (or encased in shielding glass and put in a museum) afterwards.

I must say I cannot understand this apparently irrational behavior on the part of Kan and/or TEPCO. I know some Japanese and they're fairly normal people, no less normal than the rest. I would not ascribe such reticence to some exotic characteristic of Japanese culture.

Maybe some weapons development was going on at the site.

Wow. Thanks for this. This is really sad. I had no idea.

The whole worlds leadership sucks...they should have been all over this from day one. And the Japs strike me as a bunch of pansy asses now. Rather sad considering their history.

no need to get AMEN-RA into any of this

From the article-
There are right now two plutonium remediation technologies on offer to the Japanese government and TEPCO that I know about one from Russia and one from the USA.

One approach uses nanotech and the other uses biotech but both are novel and unique.

Both have been offered to the Japanese through government channels and in both cases the Japanese government or TEPCO have yet to respond.

DAMN IT!!! I have noticed nuke scientists don't have much of an imagination regarding their worst case scenarios. Maybe what is an "apocalypse" to them is not what it is to us? We can only pray it does not.

How can one corporation singlehandedly fuck up an entire country...and quite possibly, the world?

Fascinating times we live in.

WHAT A FUCKING WASTE

god speed.

Uh huh ^^^ WORD!

I was thinking the same thing, when I learned of the Fukushima emergency plan on the news this afternoon. A fax machine, a stretcher and 50 protective suits.

Which then reminded me of the plan for BP and the GOM, involving 'Walruses' ?

Which then brings me back to how all these 'plans' are on paper only. There seems to be very little 'thought' involved.

Pfft

yeah, but I believe it bullshit to send our boys into that mess. 160 marines might be able to kick ass on the chinese army, but that radiation don't know lose either

Imagine?
is that like hope?
Watch this and tell me if the world can wait for imagination to clean up this mess:

200 tons of water are being dumped on the reactors every day. We all know its becoming radioactive, steaming into the air and pouring into the sea. You CANNOT encase almost 400 tons of molten radio-active material in reactors in concrete in its present state. The massive heat build up inside the concrete containment shell (sarcophagus) would produce a cataclismic explosion (see chernobyl youtube-corium leaching into water theory-they said Europe would have become a wasteland from the neuclear explosion). Bombing the reactors is even worse, if thats possible (radio-active fallout driven miles high into the atmosphere to be driven by jet-stream winds). I hate to say it, but I have been giving my wife and kids big hugs lately - (I have not told them of my fears), because I truely believe, that as this plays out over the next months (yes, this catastrophe will take months, if not years to play out), this is going to change their hopes and dreams forever. I dont care about myself. I am old and done. Tragicaly, we as a world may have failed to protect our most precious asset, our children.

but they evacuated 78000 recently, leave no wait come back no mmmheh leave again no wait changed our mind come on back no problems all is under controlllll

What will happen when other countries finally get sick of their citizens dying because your politicians are fucking retards!

Fuck them! Overthrow those dumb bastards and quit polluting the Earth with your fucked up reactors that you improperly maintained. Not to mention your stupidity for building these damn things on little islands that you call home!

Where the fuck did you morans think you would go???

Sorry. I know it's not your fault. I apologize for making it sound like YOU had anything to do with this.

It's just a frustrating fucking mess as all of us little people have to live without all of the protection those politicians and ceo's have....
