Fukushima RADIATION sizzling at 10 sieverts in flooded basement of unit 1
[link to www.japantimes.co.jp]


Tokyo Electric Power Co. said Wednesday that radiation levels exceeding 10 sieverts have been detected in the flooded basement of reactor 1 at the crippled Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant, a development that will hamper its decommissioning.

Radiation from the basement water was found to be as high as 10,300 millisieverts an hour, a deadly intensity that will deliver the maximum annual dose in only 20 seconds and sicken anyone who is exposed within minutes.

That's just inside the plant of course which is to be expected.

I think it will be found, if in ten years or more when it can be entered, if ever, that the fuel rods, shattered by the hydrogen explosion, dropped the fuel pellets to the bottom of the reactor core, where they melted into a blob called "corium", which even if the containment remained sealed otherwise, it could burn through the boron control rod openings and drop down to the basement floor inside the doughnut shaped "suppression chamber" the reactor is centered above. If this room is full of water then if we are lucky it will negate the "china syndrome" theory, and can be entombed NOW. Reactor 2 is still a threat, funky stuff going on. Reactor four it turns out was under renovation at time of the quake and cooling pipes had been removed and sealed off, so the doomsday machine of SFP 4 may have a ticking time bomb next to it for all we know.abomb

To be expected? Of course???

Are you trying to present yourself as some sort of expert on this subject?
