Fukushima news

Last edited Tue Dec 31, 2013, 12:00 AM - Edit history (1)

A friend posted this on Facebook. I'm not sure how to take this.

http://www.occupycorporatism.com/tepco-quietly-admits-reactor-3-melting-now/

Turner Radio Network (TRN) has issued a report regarding Fukushima Diachi Nuclear Plant that is expected to affect the entire Northern Hemisphere.

According to the report: “Persons residing on the west coast of North America should IMMEDIATELY begin preparing for another possible onslaught of dangerous atmospheric radiation from the Fukushima nuclear disaster site in Japan.”

On edit: There may be some credibility issues here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hal_Turner

The report this bad boy turner used is from Tepco

http://www.tepco.co.jp/nu-news/2013/1233248_5304.html

You have to get it translated to English via something like bing, but you will see that everyone who is shooting the messenger are really just afraid of the message.

Message at the Tepco link is this: Reactor #3, which is supposed to be cold, is not cold and steam is rising from the bowels of the reactor which blew up on March 11, 2011. Which could mean that it may be about to blow up again. Of course Tepco doesn't say that, Tepco says it is cold.

26. Duct tape
Tue Dec 31, 2013, 01:57 AM
Dec 2013

Some of the recommendations to mitigate damaging effect of radiation exposure include:
• Keep up-to-date on developments via the Internet
• Buy Duct tape, masking tape and self-adhesive weather stripping
• Cover windows and doors with plastic
• Cover electrical outlets and light switches with plastic
• Cover vents in bathrooms and stoves with plastic
• Purchase a NIOSH N100-certified filter mask for each member of the family
• Purchase disposable TYVEK suit for going outside
• Wash obsessively

But this is the link he gets the Truth from. It is a link that you have to translate from Japanese (Guess Tepco is so broke that can't afford too many English pages?) but it tells the Truth that Steam is emitting from the reactor which is supposed to be cold.

http://www.tepco.co.jp/nu-news/2013/1233248_5304.html

Anyway, the nut job turner does tell folks what they should do should they have to shelter in place should there be any more explosions.

On this DU thread is a debate about what one does have to put up with from Fukushima fallout:

I was thinking of a different Turner when I posted.

Thanks for the fact checking. My FB friend who posted it is usually quite reliable.... I guess he got this one wrong.

13. What has happened at #3?
Tue Dec 31, 2013, 12:04 AM
Dec 2013

Reactor #3 is the one that blew up with a huge mushroom cloud type of explosion signature.

Recently, for about 5 days running, it has been belching steam, unlike we have seen in a long time.

The core of the reactor is thought to have melted through all containment, but it is not known exactly where the core is because no one, not even robots or cameras can get anywhere close because it is so damn hot.

Tepco is said to have admitted that #3 has been releasing steam.

Webcam link: http://mfile.akamai.com/127380/live/reflector:52045.asx

Look on enenews.com for more. Link on front page at enenews.com

You calling me a liar? Be careful, sport. You know I know my stuff.

I saw the steam on the camera.

And enenews is a reliable source. Your saying it is not just shows ignorance, meaning you are ignoring or you haven't even bothered to read enenews.com

From enenews is the link on the front page. In that story linked from there, you would find, if you even bothered to look, is this link from Tepco itself.

http://www.tepco.co.jp/nu-news/2013/1233248_5304.html
(Accept no other links!!! This is the true link!!)

Now, unfortunately, the Tepco link is in Japanese. Why the heck can't Tepco give an English page? Talk about not reliable!!!

So, take the link to bing translate and see what Tepco says in English. Clue: Admission that steam is coming from #3 for several days.

You would think that as much as you post about Fukushima that you would not be so ignorant about Fukushima. But here you are, read the Tepco link and we'll talk.

24. Here's your English Tepco page. Also, ENEnews is not a reputable site, it's an advocay site.

There's a difference.

ENEnews presents itself as having to do with energy, energy science, sources, etc., when, in fact, it's only about causing concern over nuclear power.

I'm not saying it makes things up, I'm just saying it has an agenda and it misrepresents itself.

Here's a link to tepco's English language page.

Why did you post such an erroneous link?!?!?!

Enenews.com is pretty much the same as DU as far as advocacy goes. Only enenews.com is not populated for very long with pro-nukes.

Enenews is just an aggregate of news articles.

And commentary.

I guess what they post is something that makes you feel bad, so you have to attack it (the messenger)? You do know some people say the same shit about DU, right?
