Explosion, Radiation Leaks from Japan's Quake-Hit Nuclear Plant
Japan wasn't playing ball with the New World Order.

As David Rockefeller approaches the end of his life expectancy, is there a list of "accomplishments" he'd like to witness before he dies? Are we witnessing his list being played out in real time, every day?
With Japan effectively removed from the global economy, now what?
HAARP was an idea that the great inventor NIKOLA TESLA had for the world to provide free energy (world wide)
Of course, the planned stopped as soon as the providers heard of this and sold all plans.
If Teslas inventions were not stopped we would be 100 years into the future, but time stopped for us.
And yes, HAARP is very, VERY real folks. It is not some kind of BS that people make up. It can change the weather of the world, it can create "natural" disasters...
It's a doomsday device.
japan 8.9 EARTHQUAKE bY haarp ?? MAJOR earthquake tsunami usa next! new madrid faultline!
Wasn't it particularly convenient that not one, but two or three helicopters were airborne with camera operators to capture the actual tidal wave as it approached shore AND to hover directly above the wall of water, capturing perfect apocalyptic images to broadcast worldwide?
Who were the pilots and the camera operators? Were these normal news helicopters that just happened to be up in the air to capture this? What are the names of the cameramen? The pilots? Who did they work for?
If this had occurred near a major city, I would expect three news choppers to be up immediately to capture those scenes. The area does not look to be all that urban to me.
Just askin' the obvious questions.

Another item of note is that Walker separated the union busting from the budget bill claiming it didnt fall under the budget even though he origonally claimed it did. After passing it he rescinds the layoff of 1500 state employees even though once again it had nothing now to do with the budget and Ive learn that the language in the origonal bill allowing him to sell our state owned power plants of which threre are 37 I believe was added to this bill they rammed through. Well low and behold the Koch brothers have gas lines near these power plants and rumor has it they are looking to hire power plant managers for the state of WI.

Shadow Government @ Work:
ReplyDeleteAn unmanned Delta 4 rocket launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida on Friday carrying a spy satellite. And that's about all that the general public really knows at this point.
The rocket launch, which had briefly been delayed because of high winds, is hauling along a satellite for the National Reconnaissance Office. So what's going up there? Cue Hollywood and let your imaginations roam. For the record, the Air Force Space Command put out a terse comment under the byline of Col. James Ross of the 45th Space Wing vice commander. He explained that the mission "helps ensure that crucial NRO resources will continue to strengthen our national defense."
However, there are some common strands to follow. The launch follows by less than a week the Air Force's launch of its second secret X-37B space plane on yet another clandestine mission. Both that spacecraft and this launch blasted off on a rocket provided by United Launch Alliance, a Virginia-based company that designs, builds and operates the U.S's intelligence-gathering spy satellite network.

Interesting how all of the stories about explosions at power plants claim that it is buildings other than those housing the fuel rods. Sure - you bet.
ReplyDeleteAlso interesting...
GE built these power plants, and clearly the design SHOULD HAVE included positioning the diesel powered back up generators and fuel to power them ON THE ROOF so that in the event of tsunami, the backup power source would not be swamped and the fuel rods could be cooled.

My comment:
The NRC had just approved GE-Hitachi's latest reactor design, set to be implemented worldwide, and this story comes out on the same day as the tsunami?
Look how Obama flew to India on Immelt's behalf to try to compel the Indian government to set aside its liability law to let GE-Hitachi off the hook if/when something goes wrong with their reactors in the future:
From the story linked above:
India sticks it to U.S. over liability law
Another of those key commercial prospects is India, which as part of its massive nuclear energy expansion program has identified a site that would feature multiple GEH ESBWR reactors. GEH CEO Caroline Reda has been gung ho in pursuit of business with India traveling there as part of an official U.S. trade mission in February 2011.
To ink deals there, the Indian government will have to set aside a draconian supplier liability law that has locked out American firms from entering the market. Despite considerable diplomatic pressure, and a visit from President Obama last November, the Indian government hasn't budged on the issue.
GE's stock is down 2.3% in the pre-market. It should collapse by any logical measure. If you see it rescued at the end of trading, it's the US government doing the buying - with your money.

Nuke engineer: Fuel rod fire at Fukushima reactor “would be like Chernobyl on steroids”
ReplyDeleteThe Fukushima reactor building that exploded forty-eight hours ago is one of a series of identical General Electric reactors constructed in Japan and the US. In this reactor design, the used nuclear fuel rods are stored in pools of water at the top of the reactor building. These “spent” rods are still highly radioactive: the radioactivity is so great the rods must be stored in water so they do not combust. The explosion at Fukushima Daiichi reactor unit 1 apparently destroyed at least one wall and the roof of the building: some reports stated the roof had collapsed into the building.
Earlier today, the nearby building containing the plutonium-uranium (MOX) fuelled Fuksuhima Daichii reactor unit 3 exploded. So why bother about the rubble of reactor No 1? The WaPo quotes a nuclear engineer who knows the answer:
Although Tokyo Electric said it also continued to deal with cooling system failures and high pressures at half a dozen of its 10 reactors in the two Fukushima complexes, fears mounted about the threat posed by the pools of water where years of spent fuel rods are stored.
At the 40-year-old Fukushima Daiichi unit 1, where an explosion Saturday destroyed a building housing the reactor, the spent fuel pool, in accordance with General Electric’s design, is placed above the reactor. Tokyo Electric said it was trying to figure out how to maintain water levels in the pools, indicating that the normal safety systems there had failed, too. Failure to keep adequate water levels in a pool would lead to a catastrophic fire, said nuclear experts, some of whom think that unit 1’s pool may now be outside.
“That would be like Chernobyl on steroids,” said Arnie Gundersen, a nuclear engineer at Fairewinds Associates and a member of the public oversight panel for the Vermont Yankee nuclear plant, which is identical to the Fukushima Daiichi unit 1.
People familiar with the plant said there are seven spent fuel pools at Fukushima Daiichi, many of them densely packed.
Gundersen said the unit 1 pool could have as much as 20 years of spent fuel rods, which are still radioactive.
Chernobyl on steroids. When the nuclear engineer from an identical palnt states there’s any possibility of sucvh a catastrophe, Washington, we have a problem. Chernobyl’s contamination settled upon people and nations thousands of miles from that reactor’s location. How far would “Chernobyl on steroids” travel? And where are the up to 20 years of reactor no 1 spent fuel rods that could cause such a problem?
http://my.firedoglake.com/kirkmurphy/2011/03/14/nuke-engineer-fuel-rod-fire-at-stricken-reactor-would-be-like-chernobyl-on-steroids/
So if 20 years on spent nuclear fuel rods were stored in a pool of water at the top of the building, and the top of the building is blown off, is that a problem? Not one you're likely to hear about in the "news"
ReplyDeleteAnd who DESIGNED the facility to store its spent fuel rods on the fucking roof?
ReplyDeleteThat would be Jeffrey Immelt's GE (Paul Volker's replacement - David Rockefeller's man).

"No one could possibly have foreseen..."
ReplyDelete– The reason they not only lost the back-up generators when the tsunami hit, but can’t easily replace them with portable generators brought to the site is because the connection points, with the generators, were completely flooded by the tsunami.
[The tsunami] easily overcame the sea walls surrounding the Fukushima plant. It swamped the diesel generators, which were placed in a low-lying area, apparently because of misplaced confidence that the sea walls would protect them.

ReplyDeleteHydrogen Explosion?
The vertical plume of the explosion at Reactor 3 appears to be shot from a cannon, with some very heavy elements falling out of the cloud. The shape of the dark cloud suggests that the top of the reactor vessel has ruptured. A bright red/orange flash can be seen at the moment of the explosion --- but hydrogen flame is invisible.
The hydrogen explosion at Reactor 1 blew the top and sides off the outer containment shell, hurling light dust and debris evenly away from the center. The shockwave propagation typical of hydrogen ignition events is not evident in the Reactor 2 explosion.

ACTUAL EVIDENCE THAT CNN IS LYING:
ReplyDeleteWatch any current CNN news report (Monday afternoon).
Note that they are stating the following as a fact at present:
"radiation levels just outside the plant briefly rose above legal limits, but since had declined significantly."
That is a quote from an article published Sunday morning, which is likely also a lie:
http://www.theburningplatform.com/?p=12908
They are downplaying this (lying to you) on purpose - and they are doing it skillfully and intentionally.
Let this serve as the final conclusive proof that our "news" media - isn't. It is a propaganda mechanism - totally.
Probably in an effort to keep the problem of nuclear waste hidden from the public, these plants feature huge pools of water up in the higher level of the containment building above the reactors, which hold the spent fuel rods from the reactor. These rods are still “hot” but besides the uranium fuel pellets, they also contain the highly radioactive and potentially biologically active decay products of the fission process--particularly radioactive Cesium 137, Iodine 131 and Strontium 90.
ReplyDeleteAs Robert Alvarez, a former nuclear energy adviser to President Bill Clinton, has written, if these waste containers, euphemistically called “ponds,” were to be damaged in an explosion and lose their cooling and radiation-shielding water, they could burst into flame from the resulting burning of the highly flammable zirconium cladding of the fuel rods, blasting perhaps three to nine times as much of these materials into the air as was released by the Chernobyl reactor disaster. (And that’s if just one reactor blows!) Each pool, Alvarez says, generally contains five to ten times as much nuclear material as the reactors themselves. Alvarez cites a 1997 Nuclear Regulatory Commission study that predicted that a waste pool fire could render a 188-square-mile area “uninhabitable” and do $59 billion worth of damage (but that was 13 years ago).
You have to ask, what kind of numbskull would put a waste “pond” for spent fuel right above the reactor of a nuclear plant, thus insuring that in the event of a meltdown, not only would the core of the reactor blow up into the environment, but also all of the spent fuel from prior years? All that "Six Sigma" quality culture stuff at GE and they came up with this?
I don’t know. I heard about those waste “pools” in the past, and always assumed they were somewhere on the plant grounds away from the reactor itself, but now it turns out they put the damned things right in the line of fire of any meltdown. Boy, that’s just brilliant!
It’s as if you put the oil tank or propane tank for your furnace right above the burner in your basement, so that if there was some problem with the furnace it would ignite the tank, or as if you put the gas tank of your car right above the engine, so that if you had an engine fire, it would explode the gas tank!
This may explain why people in India are reportedly rethinking GE’s bid for a big piece of the country’s proposed market for $150 billion in new nuclear power plants in that country, and why it may not be so easy for GE and other nuclear plant builders to escape liability for their products in the future.
Back in November, President Obama was in India pushing that country’s government to pass legislation exempting GE from liability for nuclear “accidents.” That idea is probably not going to go very far now.
Jeffrey Immelt, the chairman and CEO of GE and a big friend of Obama’s (he was named to an unpaid post as “jobs czar” by the president earlier this year, despite the company’s long record of exporting US jobs to places like China and India), says it’s “too soon” to assess the impact on the company’s nuclear business prospects of the nuclear “accidents” in northern Japan.

Reactor #3 is a MOX-fueled reactor. See how much that matters (and why they're not talking about it) right here:
ReplyDeletehttp://sherriequestioningall.blogspot.com/2011/03/japan-exploded-nuclear-plant-uses-mox.html
I assume they stored those spent MOX fuel rods atop the reactor. You'll never learn the truth in the MSM - so don't wait to educate yourself.
3,450 old fuel assemblies were in the #3 Reactor building as of 2101:
ReplyDeleteThe threat of a fission explosion at the Fukushima power facility emerged today when the roof of the number three reactor exploded and fears that a spent fuel pool, located over the reactor, has been compromised. The pool, designed to allow reactor fuel to cool off for several years, was constructed on top of the Fukushima reactors instead of underground. As of 2010, there were 3450 fuel assemblies in the pool at the number three reactor. The destruction of the number three reactor building has experts concerned about whether the spent fuel storage pool, which sits just below the roof, could have survived intact the hydrogen explosion. The explosion was much more severe than Saturday’s blast at the number one reactor.
As massive amounts of seawater are pumped by fire trucks into Fukushima’s failing nuclear reactors and cooling ponds, the radioactive waste water, now laden with a variety of radioisotopes, is being flushed into the sea.
Just how much danger the spent fuel pool raises is made clear in a November 2010 powerpoint presentation from the Tokyo Electric Company detailing how fuel storage works at the huge complex.
The fuel inventory in the pool is detailed on page 9. According to TEPCO, each reactor generates 700 "waste" fuel assemblies a year, and there are 3450 assemblies in each pool at the Fukushima Daiichi plant, plus another 6,291 in a common pool in a separate building.
As shown in slide 10, the common pool building sits at ground level, with the pool itself above ground. The building also has windows on at least one side, and experts fear these were broken out by the tsunami which would have flooded the building.
According to Albert Donnay, a former nuclear engineer, “This means the common pool is now full of radioactive and corrosive seawater that will cause the fuel assemblies to fail and burst open, as they are doing inside the reactor cores that have been deliberately flooded with seawater. If the pool drains or boils away, the fuel will melt, burn and even possibly explode if the fuel collapses into a sufficiently critical mass.”
This may explain why the Japanese government began adding boric acid to the reactor spent fuel pools at the facility shortly after the earthquake and tidal wave.

Let me tell you about my day 2 days ago: we rented a U-Haul to get a refrigerator from Allentown, my friend was giving it to us for our daughter who's getting an apartment. Allentown is about an hour from Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. We couldn't get the huge refrigerator out the door, even taking the doors out, spending 1.5 hours doing that. So we go back up the turnpike pulling the empty U-Haul trailer, and when you get out of the Lehigh Valley Tunnell, it starts a 20 mile uphill, a notorious hill. My car's transmission blew going up the hill. We had to call a flatbed truck to tow both the car and the U-Haul trailer 30 miles, drop off the U-Haul at the U-Haul place and then the car at my mechanic. What a nightmare!
ReplyDeleteThen my friend in Allentown said last year, on the same hill in almost the same spot, he blew his transmission on his Jeep Cherokee and had to call a flatbed.

ReplyDeleteGet your shit together, man! ;-)
We can't go into the David Rockefeller-induced Armageddon, end-of-days using poor grammar.
Seriously - Tokyo and all of Japan is going to be uninhabitable very soon.
So what caused the buildings to explode? Likely the result of the spent fuel rods being exposed to air. They require circulating water to keep them cool. Not only did the water circulation stop, the water supply was cut entirely - so the rods subsequently heated-up and boiled the water out of the pools (producing both steam and hydrogen - think pressure cooker), leading to massive steam/hydrogen build up (with no system for venting - design flaw - thanks GE) and subsequent explosion.
ReplyDeleteStorage of the spent fuel rods in an open pool within the buildings themselves will be determined as the critical design flaw that led to this outcome. The reason for on site storage is that no one wants to deal with the waste - and without a "solution," GE couldn't sell nuclear plant construction.
The "solution" has been proven not to be one. The price we will all pay, for GE's profits, is incalculable.
The world has just learned the Fascism Lesson. When government and business align, public safety comes last.
Storing spent fuel in open pools in the same building with an active nuclear reactor is the height of insanity.
Assume that once the rods had heated up to the extent that they caused the water to boil off - the next thing that happened was they caught fire - igniting the massive pressurized cloud of built-up hydrogen inside the building.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure they will tell us that it will take them years to figure out what went wrong, but seriously, how difficult is this? They are storing an ignition source in water. When you take away the water, the ignition source becomes active.
I personally photographed an open-air fuel rod storage pool that looks just like this:

Remove the water, and you've got a bomb.
Simple.
wtf! you're right! when I wrote that, I thought about the double negative, too. See? I'm still fucked up from the harrowing transmission/towing/turnpike thingy.
