Fukushiman Kakkosen vuoro...

Ytimen sulaminen uhkaa kakkosreaktoria ja vetyräjähdys myös kirjoittaa Iltalehti.fi

Kakkonen on kolmosen kokoinen reaktori joten toivotaan tuulen käntyvän merelle ennen puksahdusta.

Kakkonen on MOX-reaktori, jossa käytetään plutonium-uraaniseosta. Uraania on siis terästetty ydinaseplutoniumilla.

Se on herkempää sulamaan kuin pelkkä uraani.

BBC:n mukaan seuraavat 24 h ovat kriittisiä. Jos reaktori vaurioituu räjähdyksessä, laskeuma on tuplaten pahempi kuin tavanomaista polttoainetta käyttävän reaktorin räjähdyksessä.

Japsit ovat pumpanneet kakkoseen jo pitemmän aikaa.

Tässä on se ongelma, että tällä kertaa ei NHK kerro mitään siitä, että
meriveden pumppaus auttaisi. Voi merkitä sitä, että pohja on jo
pettänyt. Silloin ei selvitä pelkällä vetyräjähdyksellä.
Plutonium pilvi on vakava juttu, jos sellainen syntyy.

Tuo kolmosen räjähdys rikkoi 2. reaktorin pumppuja. Ainakin yhden uutistoimiston mukaan jäi vain yksi pumppu vettä kerrättämään.

sulanu jo puoliks. kai se vielä possahtaa

TV 1 uutisten mukaan kakkos reaktorin polttoainesauvat ovat sulaneet tilanne on todella vakava. Välillä juodutaan päästämään painetta ulos ja säteilyä samalla pääsee ulos.

toivotaan että saamme kunnon paukun ja ydinvoima saisi siten lopullisen kuoliniskun.
Sääliksi vaan käy japseja mutta kukas käski niitä voimaloita rakentamaan kun tuulta olisi tarjolla ja aurinkoa vaikka millä mitalla.

An Interview with Helen Caldicott, M.D.
Author of The New Nuclear Danger
http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=23663
The Share Guide: Can you give a brief overview of your most recent book, The New Nuclear Danger, and why you wrote it at this time?
Dr. Caldicott: This book describes the internal, corporate related dynamics of the Bush administration, and the reason it is totally focused upon war, is violating all the international nuclear arms control treaties, and is now prepared in a cavalier way to use nuclear weapons on any non-nuclear nation it so chooses. This is antithetical to the nuclear policies of any previous U.S. administration. The nuclear weapons labs are also engaged in a new Manhattan project: a huge nuclear buildup, which includes designing, testing and building new nuclear weapons. In addition, the Bush administration is engaged in a massive, five-layered Star Wars project which will never work, and which will trigger a new nuclear arms race with Russia and China. This is costing four times as much money as the U.S. is currently spending on the State Department, and could trigger a nuclear war. The danger is new because the hydrogen bombs of Russia and America are still on hair trigger alert as they were in the 1980s, but everybody thinks the nuclear threat of global annihalition has been resolved because the cold war ended. In fact, because of the public's ignorance, the nuclear threat is much greater than before.
The Share Guide: What specifically are the negative effects of nuclear power, and aren't there adequate renewable sources of energy that we could use instead?

Dr. Caldicott: Nuclear power, apart from nuclear war, is the greatest medical threat posed to life on this planet. In fact, 95% of the total nuclear waste in the United States has been generated by nuclear power plants. Nuclear waste will last for 500,000 years, and there is no safe means to prevent these radioactive elements from entering and concentrating in the food chain. These elements, which are tasteless, odorless and invisible, are highly carcinogenic and mutagenic. Over time, they will induce epidemics of cancer and leukemia. This is particularly true for children, who are 10 to 20 times more radiosensitive than adults, and are therefore much more susceptible to cancer. The nuclear waste will also induce epidemics of genetic diseases and congenital abnormalities in humans (as well as in animals and plants) for the rest of time. This is rather like a process of random compulsory genetic engineering. Because of the quantity of fossil fuel used to mine, separate and enrich uranium, and to build the massive reactor, a nuclear power plant has to operate for 18 years before one net calorie of energy is realized! And the CO2 produced from the fossil fuel adds significantly to global warming. Uranium enrichment also produces 88% of the CFC gases emitted from the U.S., a potent global warming gas and a significant ozone depleter in the upper atmosphere. The production and release of CFCs has been internationally banned in the Montreal Protocol, but the U.S. nuclear industry openly flouts this international treaty. So nuclear power causes global warming, ozone depletion, epidemics of malignancy and the destruction of the delicate process of evolution. Of course there are alternatives. Solar power is ubiquitous but almost untapped because of the political power of the oil companies. There is also enough wind west of the Missisippi to provide the whole of the U.S. with energy. It's worth noting that Europeans use half as much energy as Americans, but have the same standard of living because they practice pragmatic conservation.
