Japans Nuclear Situation - check this out.

Bright blue flashes seen over reactors.. any idea what that is?

[badflash]

Reference please? I don't know what you are referring to.

^^Was neutron beams. That's bad.

I hope you are wearing a foil hat. That will protect you from those neutron beams.

Geez, you are really buying that crap? In order to get apreaciable levels of neutrons you need a critical reactor, one that has a self sustaining nuclear reaction. A slagged reactor just plain can't do that. I can show you lots of Youtubes about anything you want and anything you want to believe. That don't make it true.

If it has to do with the government. hold onto your wallet, cause that is ALL they want, that and your liberty.

Lmao... I don't care anymore. I'm not in the gas cloud anymore. Good luck.

oh, come on jcx japan finally upgraded it to a 7. the difference between this one and chernobol is that could be localized on land this is in the worlds water supply and food chain. it is a is a hell of a lot more devasting.

OK, I've watched this thread develop and be bantered around with views and opinions as to how bad it is for the world and what's going to happen to us and I have decided to throw in some truth and reality about radiation and it's effects. Yes, it is initially bad, however:-

will someone please tell me, what happens to the radiation if it lasts thousands of years and where does it go during that time?

HIROSHIMA - August 1945







We all know that Hiroshima and Nagasaki were destroyed in August 1945 after the explosion of A-bombs. However, how many of you have thought to take notice of the progress made by the people of HIROSHIMA, Japan during the past 65 years.

HIROSHIMA - 65 YEARS AFTER THE BOMB..!







Man...what a mess...!

JCO-
I'm gonna have to disagree with your premice. You can't compare the release of radioactivity from 3 reactors and 4 spent fuel pools to the explosion of a bomb that had maybe 25 KG of enriched uranium or plutonium. We are talking about 100's of tons of fission products. The potential is much worse if not mitigated.

That being said, the scale used is a bit mis-leading. All 7's are not created equal. In order to reach a 7 all three barriers to the environment must be breached and the realease of radio active materials must be large enough to acceed acceptable limits. The relase from Cherobyl was orders of magnatude larger and quicker that in japan. There were many deaths attributed directly to the radiation levels, and the energy reales from the Chernobyl explosion was actually nuclear and was equivelent to something like 15 tons of TNT. The reactor blew up, it didn't just over heat. Chernoblyl had no containement structure, so the release was not limited as it has been in japan.

The release in Europe contaminated a large part of the continent making food crops unsafe for a long period of time, not just a week.

OK, I'll bite....what's the deal with the NUKE CRISIS in Japan...suddenly I don't hear anything at all on the new about what's going on over there.

[urbanfarmer]

Probably because there's no one left to report...
