Nuclear Chemistry Expert: Steam at Fukushima Reactor Could Be From Corium Burning Through Containment Into Groundwater

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


 

Judy Haar, former nuclear industry worker with a master’s degree in nuclear chemistry, Jan. 6, 2014: [...] the story continues to linger, and the speculations have not stopped. [...] With a high potential of fear-mongering, just the facts, please. [...] First noticed in July, 2013, the plant, [Fukushima Daiichi] Reactor 3, suddenly started releasing steam. [...] TEPCO [...] hypothesized it was caused by rain waters seeping into the reactors damaged containment vessel which hit thermal hot spots [...] On December 19, 24, 25, and 27, Reactor 3 started releasing steam, again. [...] this is a strong indicator of the fragile state the site is in [...] Reactor 3 ran on a mix of uranium and uranium/plutonium mixed fuel [...] which experienced a complete meltdown. We don’t know for sure at this time, but the corium could have burned its way through the reactor vessel due to extreme heat, thus reaching the underlying ground water and producing steam. [...]

In the months after 3/11, Haar concluded, “The Answer is Clear: Nuclear Power is Safe — The three major reactor accidents have shown the industry that even among the worst accidents, few and far between, there is little loss of life, as compared to other fuels.”

      The only chance all of us have is that we start to put heavy pressure on the governments of the world to stop fighting each other and work together to solve the Fukushima problem. This is a trillion dollar cleanup and it will take all the best resources of Japan, China, Europe, Australia, the US, and Russia to get this under control. Until that happens, the planet will continue to increase with radiation. Now that we have homeless Japanese on the scene at Fukushima, it should be obvious to everyone that Fukushima should be seized by the international community so the real control of the situation can finally begin. If something does not happen in the immediate future (like in the next 12 months), it is my prediction that China will start a war with Japan. I believe that Fukushima is just an irritant to China as their collective environment deteriorates. If Japan cannot get its act together with Fukushima (which is not going to happen), I would be supportive of China invading Japan and seizing the Fukushima site. I have lost all faith in the US government or Obama being relevant at all when it comes to Fukushima, as their only purpose is to help save the reputation of the nuclear power industry even if we all die or suffer health ailments along the way. The US government is the corporation and the corporation is the US government. Pure fascism which has no concern for human health only profits:!:
