Is FUKUSHIMA an ELE ?

Ummmm...WTF are they doing? Storing vast quanitities of Nuclear Waste a hundred yards from the ocean. Next Tsunami will take all of that out to sea. IS that what they are wanting because there’s no other explanation. Common sense says don’t do what they are doing.

It is for the animals, ocean life and people who have died from it in the name of TEPCO.

Whether it gets the remainder of living creatures is an open question!

Yes, it is... Nobody talks about it because they know there isn't a damn thing they can do about it. The Pacific ocean is dying.....

Just for show...the thing is dumping hundreds of tons of radioactive water into the ocean every day....

It's not a lack of effort, we simply do not have the technology to even get close to the melted cores, much less to remove it from it's location. Remember the robot that was supposed to let em find the melted core? It lasted less than an hour before it was trashed! If they can't even find the core, how are they ever going to remove it? Simple...they can't.

They're doing what they can at this point, I believe. Reactors 2 and 3 were critical for at least 1.4 years after the initial explosions. Presumably, there's no more criticality in the coria, though there's massive high level residual radiation. At least the most severely damaged #4 fuel pool is empty and the others are being dismantled and sorted out. I'm just guessing that the total UO2 in the containment buildings of the four reactors was around 1000 Tons. Correct me if you have a better number.

Unit 3's spent fuel is scheduled for removal by March 2021. Work on that project started around March of 2016, so it's a five year project. Nothing in nuclear decommissioning happens quickly.

There's more that can be done and more that should have been done, but we have no influence on them. The Japanese government has some control over TEPCO, but we don't.

Thank you!

I've once heard it said that in the ocean, radiation is leaked via natural/volcanic activity in quantities that far exceed this accident.

However, I've not got an actual source. It seems plausible to me considering 2/3rds of earth is covered by ocean and deep down, we know very little about what goes on there. On the surface we see similar.

Don't get me wrong, I think Fukushima is bad and will create a dent but will that cascade in to an ELE, probably not. I think life is far more resilient and adaptive.

For the first two years, that was true. Now that the coria are no longer critical, and of course have been contaminated with boron and silica, their energy is lowered to the point that they're solidified. This makes the job possible, though exceedingly difficult.

Since it will be un-approachable, and smolder there for the next 50,000 years or more...

Continually spewing Radioactive poisons into the air and water...

YES...!
?

Since when did volcanoe's become radioactive? I think you are confusing what you heard with oil. Oil is released naturally in the ocean from vents in the earths crust.

Best course of action at this point...

Use a Hydrogen Bomb (H-Bomb) to nuke it to smaller particles...

Give everyone in the Northern Hemisphere access to cheap, easily accessible Coreium Detectors...

Offer a reward for individuals finding radioactive particles of Coreium...

Collect the particles and store them safely, or shoot them into space (the moon, or sun).

Not today. Probably not back in 2011 either. One problem is that a pure fusion device is still classified and not acknowledged. Japan has no access to such things. Also, the device would release so many neutrons it would cause all the stored nuclear fuel to go critical. U-238 will fission under a high neutron flux, so we'd have perhaps a 1000 TON fission bomb! The coria would no longer be a problem since it would fission all at once. The subsequent explosion from that may well have been an ELE. We've never experienced such a thing in the known history of the world.

By the way, everyone should have at least a geiger counter. Scintillation counters and gamma spectrometers are far more expensive.

Sperm levels falling in men
Fish and plankton die off
Heart problems and death on the rise
Mutations In animals and humans increasing
Ozone depletion from continually released radioactive iodine continues
Birth rates falling ; infant mortality rates continue to increase.
With Fukushima the radiation [from 3+ reactors ( spent rods that have turned critical ) ] continue to be released in to the ocean and air.
EFL ; no cockroaches will still be around.

That's not all radiation. Hormone disruptors from plasticizers and other chemicals contribute a lot.

81 dead whales up and down the Pacific coast.

Yeah, it's a killer event, hopefully not extinction level
