>On Friday, March 11 2011, a magnitude 9.1 undersea megathrust earthquake struck off the Pacific coast of Tōhoku, Japan. The massive quake triggered 133-foot-tall tsunami waves that wreaked havoc in the cities of Miyako and Sendai, claiming the lives of nearly 16,000 people and injuring more than 6,000 others; over 2,500 are still unaccounted for and labeled as missing. >The initial tsunami that struck land following the unprecedented earthquake damaged the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, which is located near the coastal town of Ōkuma: >“Immediately after the earthquake, the active reactors automatically shut down their sustained fission reactions. However, the tsunami disabled the emergency generators that would have provided power to control and operate the pumps necessary to cool the reactors. The insufficient cooling led to three nuclear meltdowns, hydrogen-air explosions, and the release of radioactive material in Units 1, 2 and 3 from 12 March to 15 March. Loss of cooling also raised concerns over the recently loaded spent fuel pool of Reactor 4, which increased in temperature on 15 March due to the decay heat from the freshly added spent fuel rods but did not boil down to exposure.” >Following the event, TEPCO (Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings) was accused of disseminating false and/or even misleading information about their ability to control the impact Fukushima’s nuclear meltdown had on the environment.
>Due to a number of man-made blunders and outright incompetence, the nearby Kuroshio Current, which is one of the world’s strongest ocean currents, has been regularly spreading uncontained radioactive particles throughout the Pacific Ocean; these deadly molecules happen to drastically affect all living organisms they touch. >Additionally, powerful naturally occurring atmospheric trade winds that travel from Japan to the West Coast of the United States have been carrying large amounts of contaminated air and debris which eventually make their way to land and even drinking water supplies. >For reference, toxic substances such as plutonium-239 and strontium-90 (both of which were used in Fukushima) are reported to have a half-life of 24,100 years, so they are incredibly difficult, if not impossible, to clean up once settled. >Since multiple nuclear reactor cores (1-4) and their supporting coolant systems were directly affected by the massive 2011 tidal wave, catastrophic explosions and meltdowns took place resulting in a never-ending nightmarish radioactive spiral that may eventually affect ALL life on planet Earth.
Lincoln Scott
>To further illustrate the urgency of this matter, in both 2017 and 2018, TEPCO piloted remote-controlled robots equipped with cameras to inspect the containment buildings that were severely damaged by the incident. Their findings (or lack of) were disconcerting to say the least: molten nuclear fuel is continuing to spread and infect neighboring soil and ground water, which eventually leaks out into the ocean and kills or mutates marine wildlife. >Perhaps the most horrifying revelation comes from their inability to locate, with certainty, reactor cores #1, #2 and possibly #3. These nuclear reactor cores are emitting intense heat and radiation and, without proper cooling support, have most likely penetrated their concrete casings while slowly traveling downwards toward the Earth’s core. >Website ExtremeTech reports the core is located around 6,371 kilometers (3,958 miles) from the planet’s surface and burns at incredible 6,000 degrees Celsius (10,832 Fahrenheit). >Purdue University Nuclear Engineer Martin Bertadono reported the following in an interview with LiveScience in regard to the characteristics of a nuclear reactor failure: >“A meltdown is when the uranium dioxide fuel melts. The melting temperature of uranium dioxide is 5,189 degrees Fahrenheit (2,865 degrees Celsius).”
Nathaniel Carter
Revenge for the nukes
Juan Torres
>Although it is unknown what exactly would happen if (or when) the missing reactor cores reach the Earth’s smoldering mantle or outer/inner cores, some have speculated that a disaster of catastrophic proportions might take place, including a series of nuclear fission-induced volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and magnetic instabilities that would bring about an unrecoverable extinction level event (ELE). >It is interesting to note that the so-called “experts” who have been monitoring the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster for the past several years regularly use ambiguous wording, such as “estimated,” “assumed,” “presumed,” “approximate” and “apparently,” when presenting updates on the situation. This leads many to believe they do not have any solid facts and are still unsure of the exact impact this disaster has had or is continuing to have on not just the immediate environment where it took place, but our whole planet. >Will we ever know the full truth about Fukushima, or will officials continue to deceive the public until it is too late?
Owen Cooper
tl;dr faggot
Levi Jackson
shit, i guess this means we are all gonna get cancer now
It's a big 'ol mess that will take decades and billions to clean up. The lessons are nuclear reactors should have passive safety measures. Also they botched the Geotechnical survey
Sebastian Baker
Yeah, we know. How many times does the same thing have to be said over and over again?
Eli Myers
Shamefur dispray TEPCO board should commit seppuku for harming the anime ethnostate
Jack Cruz
>>Although it is unknown what exactly would happen if (or when) the missing reactor cores reach the Earth’s smoldering mantle or outer/inner cores, some have speculated that a disaster of catastrophic proportions might take place, including a series of nuclear fission-induced volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and magnetic instabilities that would bring about an unrecoverable extinction level event (ELE). HOW LONG DO WE HAVE
Grayson Cooper
The lesson is you should take a look at who you hire for security.
>>Website ExtremeTech reports the core is located around 6,371 kilometers (3,958 miles) from the planet’s surface and burns at incredible 6,000 degrees Celsius (10,832 Fahrenheit). Oh (You).
Aaron Ortiz
and yet nobody talks about the worst ecological disaster in human history....
7 years later and it is still going on...it will never stop until the melted cores hit the water table....then we are pretty much all fucked.
We have about 10 years.
Juan Anderson
If this was China you guys would be bitching about this nonstop.
Andrew Torres
lol what
Owen Nguyen
Where do you think the uranium came from?
Stop advertising for BP.
Jack Wood
Ernie Gunderson...the top US nuclear energy dog explained that the cores can't be stopped...you have some large pool of out of control nuclear shit digging into the ground of the fuckyoushima plant.
When this mess hits the water table it will basically cause a large fucking explosion that will kick up a nuclear shit cloud.
Chase Hernandez
>EVERYONE IS GOING TO DIE! AGAIN! Sure thing pal.
Brandon Gutierrez
its been dripping down there for years right? how the fuck has it not hit the water table or core yet
Lucas Ward
Who thinks that? If the reactor cores hit Earth's mantle, they might be carried all the way to the United States and cause Yellowstone to blow. This would be the ultimate revenge scenario for Japan. Think about it: we bombed the shit out of them in WW2. They waited decades later, used a HAARP type device to trigger a 9.0 quake and tidal waves in just the right spot to cause their nuke plant to meltdown. They then knowingly half-assed their response, at the cost of thousands of lives, just to make sure the cores would melt through their concrete casing, travel all the way to the Earth's non-static flowing mantle and position themselves right under the U.S. at a critical spot where they would essentially trigger a chain of volcanic eruptions.
Japan is playing 5469D innerplanetary sudoku and most people don't even know it.
Strontium-90 isnt actually that dangerous, since it produces beta decay. It only releases electrons. And it takes 1 pound of plutonium 239 inhaled to actually have any negative consequences. Moral of the story the longer it takes to decay the less dangerous a isotope is.
Benjamin Hall
not dripping, it is a pool of molten radioactive shit. basically an uncontrolled chain reaction...it has to get passed the concrete foundation, then the soil. When it hits the sea underneath the complex it will become a very fucking huge dirty bomb.
How could this even affect the mantle? That seems farfetched
Colton Jenkins
ya...Ernie Gunderson is a retard
HAHAHAHA fucking leaf. The guy has more experience with nuclear energy than anybody.
Go feltch a dog.
Jace Baker
>West Coast of the United States
So California. What's your point?
Angel Morris
There is no water table under the reactors.
Noah Brooks
the "missing" reactor hasn't melted into the earth. that's jew soap tier propaganda. it's missing because it was evaporated by the mini-nuke that was used to sabotage the plant.
there hasn't been a real nuclear disaster for 50 years
Luke Ramirez
the ocean you fucking numb nuts. The complex is right the fuck by the ocean
Nicholas Mitchell
That's not how dirty bombs work man. Sea water is a tremendously effective control medium for nuclear reactions. Likely if it hit sea water, it would get shut down. Granted there would be some hydrogen explosions and whatnot at first, but with the sheer amount of cold water coming in, the energy would quickly be overrun.
Colton Morales
>another expert in the field of nuclear disasters Thank god we have you here, Dr.
Jayden Anderson
ya cause fuckyoushima needs another explosion...you know there are 3 other buildings in that bitch...right?
So what does it means for us though? Would that have negative impacts on Europe as well? Can that radioactive shit travel so far?
Asher Price
whats a reasonably priced gas mask that is effective, and what other items would I need for a CBRN emergency preparedness kit. my current emercancy prep stuff is only good for like tornados and flooding and earthquakes.
Gabriel Taylor
no shit....Chernobyl sent a cloud of shit that was detected in Scandinavian countries.
Fuckyoushima has one run away core plus 3 other buildings with nasty shit in them.
Jacob James
I unironically applaud Merkel for shutting down all reactors in Germany She did a good job there
Nuclear power is fucking dumb and too dangerous desu
Jace Cook
Wish people would take this more seriously than they do
Julian Peterson
40kg of uranium isn't that big. and plutonium bombs can be positively tiny. this tech is ancient.
It's the Japanese, they're à corrupt people with no regard for human life They are soulless
Nicholas Clark
ocean is big as fuck and bacteria will break down the radio active waste in to harmless material
Eli Anderson
even with all accidents, disasters, contamination etc. taken into account, nuclear power is still 100 times safer than the next alternative. including solar.
that's right, more people have died from solar power than nuclear accidents.
Justin Garcia
well you have 4 cores + all the spent rods.
The lunatic japs have been spraying down the other fucked up cores with sea water for the past 7 years...dumping the untreated water right into the pacific.
I think even a small explosion would not be a good thing.
Owen Hall
Fuck
Japs are subhuman for allowing this to happen
Carson Myers
yep...fucking pieces of corrupt shit. Everybody offered them help >no thank you mister...we are doing a great job.
Bentley Cooper
Even if all 4 cores somehow melted through that much concrete and soil, once they hit the ocean that's it. The Pacific ocean is astronomical in size. More radioisotopes dissolve into it naturally from volcanic activity every minute than all the nuclear reactors on earth have in totality. YES, it's THAT fucking big. If you're 6 feet tall and use your height as a scale of reference for the average depth of the Pacific, the entirety of all the nuclear material in powerplants worldwide would be smaller than a Zippo flint.
Josiah Morales
>Nuclear power is fucking dumb and too dangerous desu France has been mostly Nuclear since WW2 and hasn't had any issue.
Oliver Jones
Cherbonyl has killed thousands in the course of decades
Brayden Anderson
I am not the one who came up with this nightmarish scenario.
Ernie Gunderson did. He is the top nuclear power guy on the planet. He was on every day when the accident happened telling people it would turn into a fucking nightmare...but of course the MSM just stopped talking about it...
Jeremiah Butler
Fuck the Japs Two nukes were not enough for them Bunch of slanteyed rice eating fucks
Jack Diaz
>well you have 4 cores + all the spent rods. doesn't matter. reactor uranium is USELESS for bombs and explosions. IT CANNOT EXPLODE, ONLY GET HOT. you must REFINE it until it has a very very high content of u235.
Parker Cruz
your point is? 8 billion and a few thousands get killed? o no better kms right now then.
David Robinson
did I leave out chernobyl? another act of sabotage by the way.
Liam Reed
By who?
Jace Morgan
radiation is less deadly than diversity
Samuel Gray
well according to my boy Ernie...that shit would send a fuck ton of radioactive particles in a giant cloud of shit.
As he explained it, you would have this could of radioactive shit travelling in the northern Hemisphere.
As he stated more than a million times: Fuckyoushima is the worst ecological disaster in the history of man.
Nicholas Torres
(((who))) do you think?
Andrew Cruz
STRONKIUM
Sebastian Stewart
Glow in the dark niggers I guess
Joshua Ross
Maybe the guy just wanted attention or has a doomsday fetish. Why is it people just believe shit when an authority makes a claim?
Oliver Miller
You mean the government?
Benjamin Hernandez
probably because he was the only honest expert at the time. While everybody was saying it was no big deal he was quite concerned.
The guy is the top dude in his field. I will take his word on the matter more than I would the Japanese cock suckers that covered everything up.
it was part of a scheme to destabilize the soviet union economically. the jews had lost control and wanted to shut it down. it worked really well.
Lincoln Brooks
>So, how screwed are we?
not a single bit.
Compared to the amount of uranium that's already in the oceans, this "Disaster" is hardly even a drop in the bucket.
The only danger that fukushima has to the rest of the world, is in a small part of the land directly surrounding the powerplant, and a small amount of ocean directly off the coast OF japan.
Hehe. Yeah a tiny core burrowing down to the mantle. Big fucking whoop. If it was true it'd be great, because that would be a really good way to get rid of it. But it having ANY effect at all is fucking laughable. It'd be like the guy with the worlds smallest micro penis, I'm talking negative length innie dick claiming he fills up the worlds most fucked porn star whore with a gaping roast beef grandcanion leather walled vagina.
Matthew Hall
Goddammit Evil people
Ryder Martinez
here's the zoomed in part.... the radiation in the water drops below background after about 80km
I am glad we have yet another expert on the matter.
Jeremiah Torres
The core of our planet is spinning with so much force against the mantle a "fizzle" (small scale explosion) would be like adding a ml of gasoline on a roaring barrel fire.
Nothing would happen.
Also the core is hot due to radioactive decay as well as residual from the proto planetary bombardment phase and the subsequent impact event that birthed earth\moon.
A couple extra hundred kilos of hot material will mean nothing.
Jayden Morris
what the fuck is wrong with your Muslims and your dirty filthy fucking minds?
calm down Mohammad from Malmo
Nathaniel Foster
Again, do you have any idea how much fallout/smoke was generated at the NTS during our atmospheric test days? No one powerplant could ever output more isotopes than were emitted during those tests, and the world is still alive and kicking. The real disaster are the niggers in your country chopping down the Amazon and killing off species after species to make grazing spots for their shitty livestock.
Daniel Price
Man, seems like you'd just want to live on the inside coast so you don't have to deal with bullshit tsunamis.
William Barnes
Thank you Small Dong Silver. I am sure you can sail safely away on your ship
Samuel Rodriguez
I better appeal to authority or else STRONKIUM coming
>japan suddenly 'donates' $1 trillion fucking dollars to the jew central banks after the supposed earthquake This is an act of war, the non aggression treaty needs to be ripped apart already. Look up 'Israel's nuclear blackmail'.
Robert Robinson
Chill out you fucking spicnigg. Have some fucking decency we just had a shitty election.
Julian Hill
Shhh. Don't un-scare the kiddies.
James Johnson
>spicnigg Brazilians aren't spics you filthy degenerate.
Sorry about your shitty elections, our top candidate got fucking stabbed by a commie cunt. Guess it has been a bad fucking week for everybody.
Benjamin Smith
I always trust meme flags...there seems to be a fuckload of nuclear physicist in this thread.
Gabriel Gutierrez
>fukushima was 7 years ago
Mason Brown
Radiation is not particularly dangerous.
Noah Kelly
I think you mean the Chinese.
Jason Rodriguez
It is actually a big debate between scientists and environmentalists to dump our nuclear waste into the earths mantle through faults
Logan Johnson
The hotter the nuclear fuel gets, the more waste products get split too.
This is why MOLTEN SALT REACTORS are inherently safer. Less waste more energy and a fairly easy to kill reaction.
