Major Earthquake In Japan Major Tsunamis

Understanding how those drills were used, I found it mildly amusing that was the best we came up with as we were designing reactors for neighborhoods.
Wasn't amusing walking into 2nd grade then have drills like that. Later in my school years visited Yankee nuclear power plant in Connecticut...third nuclear power plant built in the US and first in New England...yes I'm old.

I still don't see what's going on in Japan as another Chernobyl. Definitely not pretty though.

I find it disgusting it was necessary too... but that isn't as pleasant.

Necessary uselessness is slightly amusing until it nauseates you.

So the US is gonna send robotic stuff to Japan to help with this situation?
WASHINGTON – The U.S. government is sending some robotic help to Japan to help regain control of the tsunami-damaged nuclear plant.

A top Energy Department official told a Senate panel Tuesday that a shipment of "radiation hardened robotics" will be sent to Japan to assist in the crisis. A department spokeswoman said a robotic device from the Energy Department's Idaho National Laboratory is being shipped to Japan along with several radiation-hardened cameras.

Peter Lyons, an acting assistant energy secretary, said Japanese officials were "very, very interested" in learning more about the capabilities of U.S robots. The United States is also sending robot operators who would be used to train Japanese operators, Lyons said.

Robots with electronics built to withstand radiation could presumably work in areas where radiation levels would harm or even kill a person. Workers at the stricken Fukushima Dai-ichi plant have been exposed to high levels of radiation and burned.

Stephanie Mueller, a spokeswoman for the Energy Department, said remote-controlled robotic machines have been used to conduct environmental cleanup and other activities in contaminated environments, although not at a compromised nuclear reactor such as the ones in Japan.

The device being shipped to Japan is equipped to provide visuals, radiological surveys and mapping data in areas of the plant that are not accessible to humans due to potential elevated radiation levels that are above recommended safety guidelines.

this is crazy AND scary shit...in case youve been getting yer nuke news from the MSM, i'll be against the grain and say that this gets worse every day and will get worse every day for awhile.....


-----From the AP:

The Environmental Protection Agency and the Food and Drug Administration say that very low levels of radiation have turned up in a sample of milk from Washington state. But federal officials say consumers should not worry.

The FDA said such findings are to be expected in the coming days because of the nuclear crisis in Japan, and that the levels are expected to drop relatively quickly.

Results from a March 25 milk sample taken from Spokane, Wash., show levels of radioactive Iodine-131 that are still 5,000 times below levels of concern set by the FDA, including levels set for infants and children.

The EPA said it is increasing the level of nationwide monitoring of milk, precipitation and drinking water following the crisis at the Japanese nuclear power plant.---



.........That's the bad news. The good news is that Obama promised radiation will never reach the US. And Obama would never lie.


also;

"The risk to workers might be greater than previously thought because melted fuel in the No. 1 reactor building may be causing isolated, uncontrolled nuclear chain reactions, Denis Flory, nuclear safety director for the International Atomic Energy Agency, said at a press conference in Vienna." Not one to cover up the worst case outcome for a week, TEPCO only did so... for five days: "Radioactive chlorine found March 25 in the Unit 1 turbine building suggests chain reactions continued after the reactor shut down, physicist Ferenc Dalnoki-Veress of the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies in Monterey, California, wrote in a March 28 paper." It's good thought" Radioactive chlorine has a half-life of 37 minutes, according to the report."

the 31st came and is about to go with only three hours left.

NOT! Predictions make for good fun though.

I keep on forgetting Obama is the only president that's lied. Thx for the reminder.

Japan...pretty wild...they're like asking experts from other countries...'Where's all that radioactive water coming from?'...YIKES!

The amount of radiation is double the evacuation level around Fukushima. Way beyond the exclusion zone.

The EPA are apparently busy updating the "safe" level of radiation by around 100000 times.

Traces of radiation detected in milk in USA. Traces found in Europe.

Not good.

Now they are going to entomb in concrete... that will make a big bang when it blows up.

We need intergalactic help for real!!!

What's going to happen?

nothing....

unless you're:
A: an evangelical type (at which point the rapture has been postponed yet again due to lack of participants)
or
B: an alex jones type (at which point the rapture already happened and the government covered it up)

there was a youtube vid that said the imaginary comet was going to line up with Uranus and cause a tectonic disturbance that would shift the earth's poles...

mostly uranus and poles...

I'm pretty sure they wouldn't help us at this point... it's kind of like running into a room full of psychotic killers equipped with unfathomably destructive weapons just to help them not hurt themselves... or maybe more like EXACTLY.... if any aliens are reading this RUN!!!!

I find japan being stubborn dealing with the Nuclear accident.I knew they are going to have to cement the darn reactor from the very first day.

U.S.A says to evacuate 50 miles...They said 13 miles...Now it detects more than 25 miles away.Not including all over the world and in the Milk supply. Good Grief..Stubborn fools..and Bullies

When Toyota Had that Sudden accelerate problems in their Toyota and killed at least 100 people in the u.s.a and The head of CEO,Grandson of Toyoda had to show up at the Ways and Means committee at the White House and to answer why their Toyota cars are doing that.(And charges included)

One of the ladies on the board asks Mr.Toyoda " Is my Car safe,I bought a new toyota,Is my car safe?"

His answer was this "American people made that car ". (Even thou his name is stamped on the car and parts flown from japan..they ARE responsible for anything wrong with their cars. )

Everyone blinked twice and looked at each other, the lady asked him again."Is my Toyota car safe?"

His answer was "American people made that car with America parts"

This is very wrong thing to say blaming America for something wrong coming from japan,parts,brand name.Television even Stopped televising the Meeting in the Ways and Means Committee after he said that.

Sounds like a bunch of Bullies that can't face the facts.:moon:

If you ever Read Donald Trumps first book,he talks about how he had to throw out a Rich Japanese guy out of his office because he said "Japan used to be down here,Now America is down here and Japan is Wayyyy up here (using both hands)

We should just cut all exports from Japan.Just send help..that's it. One thing..America Don't like Bullies.

The comet is real its called Elenin.

Cept some people think its actually a brown dwarf. We will see..

We are not alone in this universe.
