Has anyone posted the point that if control of ANY of the Fukushima reactors is lost, the entire crew now working at the plant would need to be evacuated?

Think about the implications of that for the other reactors at the site.

Saying that you could build a bike frame out of the titanium in 1 cubic meter of seawater is the same BS being spewed about this.

Stop being an uneducated jackass that through their intellectual void are causing us to halt any progress being made to building new nuclear facilities.


Cool! You really think my saying stupid shit is stopping them from building more cheap reactors on top of volcanoes?

I didn't see what your original post was referring to. I was just stating that no, there is not enough titanium in a cubic meter of seawater to build a life-scale bike frame. I don't think posting relevant figures constitutes being an "uneducated jackass," jackass.

Blowing up repeatedly? This is the 2nd plant in history that has had a major problem (TMI doesn't count - it was blown way out of proportion). If this happened to a coal plant or oil refinery, the immediate environmental effects would be a million times worse.

Fossil fuels burn and turn into CO2 and other combustion gases, and minerals. No radiation.

They have countermeasures for that.

We do; also stop turning people into newts, or we'll build a bridge out of you.


Am I upsetting you? Do you own stock in Fukushima? Maybe earn a living building cheap nuclear reactors on top of volcanoes? Get over it.

I have nothing against nuclear power whatsoever. It's the stupid people running the industry who need to be kept on a tight leash as far as I'm concerned and, unfortunately, I don't have any control over them or public perception either.

Depending on the fuel and how it is used that isn't an accurate statement.

Besides, the "type" of pollutant is rather irrelevant. Its effects on the population are really the only thing that matter. As far as actual impact to human life in the modern world, coal is by far the worst and when I say far I mean really fucking far. The same goes for environmental impact.

Actually, the plants blowing up repeatedly even though everyone always says they are 100% safe and risking huge parts of population kinda does that, you are a blockhead. We should use your skull as a neutron absorber for the plant in Japan.

Besides, aren't we like the Saudi Arabia of coal? Fuck nukes, lets decommission them all and build a fuckload of coal fired power plants. We can even call them "clean coal" plants to make everyone happy.

One explosion blew two 8 meter (26') holes in the walls so I expect a lot of that is concrete dust.

CNN reporting that all workers have evacuated from damaged nuclear power plant.

uht oh...

This is what I was asking about above. Of course, Spidey informed us that "they" have countermeasures for this contingency.

TOKYO, Japan, March 15, 2011 (ENS) - Due to high radiation risk, Tokyo Electric has evacuated the last 50 workers that were struggling to cool damaged nuclear fuel at the the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.

TOKYO -- Japan's top government spokesman says that a surge in radiation means workers are unable to continue even minimal efforts at a stricken nuclear plant.

Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano said Wednesday that work on dousing reactors with water was disrupted when workers were forced to withdraw after radiation levels surged early in the day.

Edit: Some other sites are saying this is a temporary evacuation, until radiation levels abate.

I remember reading that when the Russians had their little accident, the workers were standing on the roof pouring shit in basically: They knew they'd be goners but did it anyways because it needed to be done.

I wonder if it's going to come to that for Japan...ask for some volunteers to go back in, knowing what the consequences will be....
