Japan Diplomat: Ground underneath Fukushima Unit 4 is sinking — More than 30 inches in some areas — Now in danger of collapse

To restate again, and again..  Just because the dangers are being actively downplayed does not make them any less serious.  Enenews and YouTube..

From Enenews:

Mitsuhei Murata, Former Japanese Ambassador to Switzerland: Due to its ground has been sinking, Unit 4 is now endangered in collapse. [...] According to secretary of former Prime Minister Kan, the ground level of the building has been sinking 80 cm [31.5 inches] unevenly. Because the ground itself has the problem, whether the building can resist a quake bigger than M6 still remains a question.

It's not comforting that this video is over two months old either, is it?

Record radiation levels detected at Fukushima reactor

If we have yet to invent technologies that can effectively demolish, decontaminate, and contain nuclear disasters, shouldn't we admit that nuclear power is beyond our scope of control?  Accordingly, shouldn't we be working on those technologies before we build any more reactors or utilize this Pandora's Box of death?  Don't forget:  It's all done to boil water.  Terra Daily, via The Extinction Protocol:


June 28, 2012 – JAPAN – TEPCO, the operator of Japan’s crippled Fukushima nuclear plant, said Wednesday record amounts of radiation had been detected in the basement of reactor number 1, further hampering clean-up operations. TEPCO took samples from the basement after lowering a camera and surveying instruments through a drain hole in the basement ceiling. Radiation levels above radioactive water in the basement reached up to 10,300 millisievert an hour, a dose that will kill humans within a short time after making them sick within minutes. The annual allowed dose for workers at the stricken site is reached in only 20 seconds. “Workers cannot enter the site and we must use robots for the demolition,” said TEPCO. The Fukushima operator said that radiation levels were 10 times higher than those recorded at the plant’s two other crippled reactors, number two and three. This was due to the poor state of the nuclear fuel in the reactor compared to that in the two others. The meltdown at the core of three of Fukushima’s six reactors occurred after the March 11, 2011 earthquake and ensuing massive tsunami shut off the power supply and cooling system. Demolition of the three reactors as well as the plant’s number 4 unit is expected to take 40 years and will need the use of new technologies.  (As yet un-invented technologies..)

40 years?  Do you really think we have that much time?  I doubt it..  All to boil water..

Something MAJOR Has Changed Regarding Fukushima Reactor 4.

[LIVE] Tepco is removing the upper part of reactor4  Fukushima Diary seems caught off guard.  He's got a live feed, if you're interested.. Demolition, or urgent deconstruction of the upper part of the Reactor building began without an announcement.  This is important.  Somethings happening.

After a year and a half of watching the severely understaffed workers try to stabilize three Reactors from criticality and clear debris, very little other has been done to stabilize the Reactor 4 building, until just a few weeks ago.  You'd think 1551 fuel assemblies packed in a damaged Spent Fuel Pool 90 feet in the air that is a potential World-Ender would be a priority, but it has not.  Again, until now.

So today TEPCO decides to bust ass on a project that was just a week ago moved up to this fall from the end of 2013, and was moved up today to..  Well, today.  Ominous.

The wind is blowing directly into Tokyo, by the way..

And there's this..

Experts warn of nuclear fire at Fukushima  Audio post from ABC News.  Released earlier today, before deconstruction.


Holy shit!  What the fuck is going on at Fukushima?  Godlike Productions.  The first page of this thread overstates the doom(for the moment), but the thread itself has some good sources.  Like this one. 

One note:  During this thread, the appearance of demolition/construction men on the upper levels of 4 are called out as evidence that this whole thing is a hoax(As the radioactive threat is not real, and this all has been a cover up for Something Else..).  Not quite.  Reactors 1,2, and 3 had meltdowns, and 4 was damaged in an explosion, but the Reactor itself was shut down.  The primary danger of Reactor 4 has always been the Spent Fuel Pool, not overwhelming radiation like the first three.


Any accident involving Reactor 4's Spent Fuel Pool could be catastrophic.  I wish the men dismantling this potentially world ending time bomb nimble-ness, efficiency, and the utmost of safety!  No pressure, fellas:  The fate of the world's on your shoulders; that's all..
