I'm liking the term "child minders".

US stores spent nuclear fuel rods at 4 times pool capacity

US nuclear engineers better get on fixing that ffs.

Quote: Each Fukushima spent fuel pool holds about 100 metric tons, he says, while each US pool holds from 500-700 metric tons. A single pool fire would release catastrophic amounts of radioactivity, rendering 17-22,000 square miles of area uninhabitable. That’s about the size of New Hampshire and Vermont – from one pool fire. [Image: Spent fuel pool at the top of a nuclear reactor.]

Thanks for that, Quiche. Really. :slap::bang:

(Meant in humor, even though that is really scary to think about.)
 
Yeah, some things need to be called in to review. For certain. mo
 
Huge jump in radiation inside Japan nuclear plant
By YURI KAGEYAMA and ERIC TALMADGE, AP
19 minutes ago


SENDAI, Japan — The radioactivity in water in one unit of a hobbled nuclear power plant in northeastern Japan has tested 10 million times higher than normal, the plant's operator said Sunday.

UUmmmm, this can not be good. If fact, this has to be very, very, VERY bad. 10 million times?

Where is ALL this radioactivity going to go? Just "dissipate" around and over Japan and the Pacific? Ok, is this going to kill the Pacific?

This is not getting any better and MSM has left it by the way for Libya. We're going to have to keep our eyes and ears open.
 
CBS is reporting the same information. The AP is apparently the source for both the Comcast article and the CBS article.

(AP) SENDAI, Japan (AP) — The radioactivity in water in one unit of a hobbled nuclear power plant in northeastern Japan has tested 10 million times higher than normal, the plant's operator said Sunday.

Leaked water in Unit 2 of the Fukushima Dai-ichi plant measured 10 million times higher than usual radioactivity levels when the reactor is operating normally, Tokyo Electric Power Co. spokesman Takashi Kurita told reporters in Tokyo.

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2011/03/26/ap/asia/main20047576.shtml

This is VERY BAD news.
 
CNN is reporting the same thing:

[1:30 a.m. ET Sunday, 2:30 p.m. Sunday in Tokyo] Radiation levels in pooled water tested in the No. 2 nuclear reactor's turbine building at the Fukushima Daiichi power plant are 10 million times normal, a power company official said Sunday.

One person was working in and around the No. 2 reactor when the test result became known, according to an official with the Tokyo Electric Power Company, which runs the plant. That individual subsequently left, and work there has stopped until the government signs off on the power company's plan to address the issue.

In the whole world there are not enough "Noddy suits" to donate so these people stand a chance of not even fixing this thing but at least minimizing damages?

Like the firefighters, these workers have only the most basic protection. Everyone has a respirator, but the full, lead-lined ''Noddy suit'' is worn by only a few dozen senior people who spend virtually all their time at the plant.

There aren't enough for anyone else.

The majority wear simple white disposable overalls made of Tyvek, an artificial, non-rip fibre - the same garments used in Britain by spraypainters and industrial cleaners.

These prevent radioactive substances touching the skin or entering the body, but do not shield against most types of radiation.

Each suit is worn only once to avoid radioactivity building up on its surface, with hundreds of discarded white suits building up at the plant, the workers said. Endquote

=====================

So, in the whole world there are not enough "Noddy Suits" or they are being hoarded for each countries own purposes? Tell me I am wrong, please prove me wrong, please, please, please.
 
I have to say, I am no conspiracy theorist, first and foremost.

Second, what of the water turned to blood?
What if it is not blood but iodine (radiation), Nostradamus code etc? He did everything in code remember? Not that I believe all that, just saying...
No, I have not read it anywhere. I just happened to be looking at a bottle of peri-wash, that is sitting on a counter in front of me, for when my expectant dog has pups.

What if the 'blood' is not blood but is radiation (iodine)?

Just putting it out there...
 
High reading was a mistake.

On Sunday night, though, plant operators said that while the water was contaminated with radiation, the extremely high reading was a mistake.

The apology came after employees fled the complex's Unit 2 reactor when a reading showed radiation levels had reached 10 million times higher than normal in the reactor's cooling system. Officials said they were so high that the worker taking the measurements had withdrawn before taking a second reading.

RENO, Nev. -- Minuscule amounts of radiation from Japan's damaged nuclear plant have reached Las Vegas, but scientists said it poses no health risk.
Extremely small amounts of the radioactive isotopes iodine-131 and zenon-133 reached a monitoring station by the city's Atomic Testing Museum last week, said Ted Hartwell, manager of the Desert Research Institute's Community Environmental Monitoring Program.
Hartwell said he's certain the isotopes came from Japan because they're not usually detected in Nevada. But he said the readings were far below levels that could pose any health risks.

Oh, I feel so much better. The Japanese authorities say there is no danger, and it was all an error. PHEW!!! Crisis averted. :waitasec: I don't feel better, and that's what they've been saying since the beginning...I don't believe them. As they've shown us before, the levels not being ten million times above normal could mean that they were only 9 million, nine hundred and nine thousand times above normal. JMO.
 
Tokyo Electric Power Co. President Masataka Shimizu is facing calls to quit after the crisis at the utility’s Fukushima Dai-Ichi nuclear plant capped a tenure that has seen $26 billion wiped off the company’s market value.
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-...to-quit-after-costing-holders-26-billion.html

Nishiyama told a press conference in the morning that he cannot deny the possibility that radioactive materials are continuing to be released into the sea. He said later that the water found at the basement of the turbine buildings is unlikely to have flowed into the sea, causing contamination.

The pools of water containing radioactive substances have drawn attention after three workers who were engaging in work to restore the No. 3 reactor at its turbine building on Thursday were exposed to high radiation. Two of them had their feet in water without noticing then that it was highly contaminated.

The three workers, who were taken to a radiation research center in Chiba Prefecture for examination, will be discharged as early as Monday afternoon, officials of the center said, adding that the exposure has not affected their health.

Japan's nuclear regulators and the operator of the crippled Fukushima reactors were warned that a tsunami could overwhelm the plant's defenses and failed to recognize the threat.

The Trade Ministry dismissed evidence two years ago from geologists that the power station's stretch of coast was overdue for a giant wave, minutes from a government committee show. Tokyo Electric Power Co. engineers also didn't heed lessons from the 2004 tsunami off Indonesia that swamped a reactor 2,000 kilometers (1,200 miles) away in India, even as they advised the nuclear industry on coping with the dangers.

Yeah, interesting that they won't release the new number. FYI: yesterday when I was reading around, an article (can't imagine which one, so this is jmo) stated that the Chernobyl readings during the crisis were 5 million times normal levels. The article had thrown that out to poopoo the seawater number of 1200 something. Ugh.

So, this means number two and three are cracked?
 
So the outside buildings are cracked (damaged) and the most radiation is held within the spent fuel rods contained in the pools at the top of reactors....which has been damaged by the hydrogen explosions.....To me it sounds very logical that radiation would now be seeping into the ground...and the ocean. Can you imagine how low the water tables would be under the whole plant in general?
