Japan Earthquake News

It's the spent fuel, not the reactors.

Water failed 5 days ago.

You think there is a conspiracy to coordinate and manipulate the real-time radiation readings from multiple universities and a variety of sources throughout eastern Japan? How do they do that on TV live?  

Get a suit? I'm lucky to have water, some food and electricity more that others.

 I just want ya to stay safe man .... take a vacation ....common here to Cali we'll go party ...er maby not Cali  ... tell ya what buy us tickets to Austrailia I'll whoop us up the broads  

Ya and another fire in plant 4   From my understanding 1,2,3 store there leftovers inside the containment 4 dont. Oh ya and 2 has russia's left over plutonium in it.


EDIT: those 50 got smart so now thats 6 reactors. what if fires start in 5 & 6?
I'll sweeten the deal and get us killer Digs for a month and Tax us sum scooters. We'll lay low and take em slow... see how its pans out.


Seriously take a vacation... now. You can come back... later.

I'd leave Rolex. Seriously.

Japan suspended operations to prevent a stricken nuclear plant from melting down Wednesday after a surge in radiation made it too dangerous for workers to remain at the facility.

Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano said work on dousing reactors with water was disrupted by the need to withdraw.

The level of radiation at the plant surged to 1,000 millisieverts early Wednesday before coming down to 800-600 millisieverts. Still, that was far more than the average

"So the workers cannot carry out even minimal work at the plant now," Edano said. "Because of the radiation risk, we are on standby."

Hiya Tac,

My place is still shaking from another big quake just minutes ago.

The spike was micro (µSv), not milli (mSv). That is 1,000 times less.

Sending the wife to Okinawa in a few days. Already have reservation and planes are flying in and out of Tokyo. I'm collecting blankets from all the neighbors and some of us will fill our cars and head north to help.

Well good on ya Rolex    


Edit: a 6.0 at just off Choshi

Wish the US Army would give me some gear and stick me on a plane over there.
Unfortunately, I'm far too young and they more than likely wouldn't let me.

I think things are going to get whole lot worse out there before better. Earthquake, Tsunami, aftershocks, volcano, food and water shortage, now threat of nuclear meltdown and death by radiation. I seriously can't think of anything worse than that

Yeah it is very bad, but the same could happen on the west coast as well, we too are tapped into the ring of fire, and they are starting to pay more attention to deep fault lines, ain't nothin' saying we cant get hit tomorrow. And if yellow stone blows off, the states are done for.

Still, i pray for the dead the cold and hungry, and that things start getting better for japan sooner then later.

If yellow stone blows the whole world would be plunged into another ice age!

I'm wondering if the higher incidence of earthquakes is the result of the core shrinking.

Would someone please post one of those nifty "facepalm" pics?

I was watching this yesterday in news;

This guy believes a combination of spring equinox and the moon reaching the closest point to Earth in 19 years by Saturday march 19th could cause more seismic activity in next days.
