[QUOTE=Skunky;28562731]There wont be any meltdown. Right? :ohdear:[/QUOTE]
If it makes you feel better then No...
but we don't actually know...
I wonder if those people realize that if Japan is infact an ally of the US and that the US has several military bases in Japan that could end up getting affected by this.
[QUOTE=Skunky;28562731]There wont be any meltdown. Right? :ohdear:[/QUOTE]
Well, if there is, they've already taken precautions in case such an event were to occur so I'd imagine it wouldn't be completely catastrophic.

When someone says a sentence like that, you ignore them for the rest of you life.
This website is fun to play with:

[QUOTE=BCell;28561882]Well on the bright side, a nuclear generator melt down is not the same as a real nuclear bomb[/QUOTE]
In terms of radiation spread it's worse.
Pearl Harbor? America nuked two of Japans cities, I think that's enough fucking payback.

I hate americans more now...sorry.

Because America is the only nation with idiots.
Do they not realize Pearl Harbor was a MILITARY attack? It's a bit different from something like firebombing and nuking civilians, causing half a million deaths. I guess they don't think.

They are Americans so what did you expect? They are all assholes and by the look of it they don't teach history very good in schools.

Fixed that for you.

You're an idiot.
Stop the blind American rage. Its stupid ass tea-party shit.

You could have just let it die off, like all the other threads. No need for a lock really.
[QUOTE=WhatTheEf;28562749]Anyone got the link to that Japanese YT channel that had a live stream of the disaster?[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=jordguitar;28561359]Yes and that is most likely going to take days for any of those detectors to trip as you know, it does have to travel thousands of miles. Untill another body goes in and actually says something and either confirms what the government is saying or says the government is a fucking liar, we wont know and there is a nice good possibility the government is trying to cover up the fact that there is a bigger problem.[/QUOTE]
gamma radiation travels at the fucking speed of light

That website is stupid. It doesn't account for weather variability, current macroflow of the air, it doesn't show a gradient of varying degrees of contamination. It's a useless fearmongering thing that does no one any good.
[QUOTE=Killuah;28561625]They have a closed system of dense water being pumped through heat exchangers, not a drop leaving the system.
Flooding it with sea water is basically just covering it up for the moment and just cools it down for a short time since the chain reaction can not be stopped in this state. The flooding cools it down as the water temperature is stabel. But as their cooling systems are not working the temperature will rise again within the next few hours unless they constantly keep pumping fresh water in but that would mean the used water is flushed into the ocean and I'm betting 10 bux they are doing that right now since there really is no way the public could notice this.
That creates good PR.[/QUOTE]
It's either they pump fresh water into the reactor and dump the waste water into the ocean or the reactor goes into meltdown.
It's funny because I was told these things would never happen again after chernobyl.

What things? So far all that's happened is an explosion of unconfirmed origin, and no significant leaks of radiation. (All leakage that has occurred so far is within an order of magnitude or two of normal for an NPP and is confined to the reactor grounds.) Plus, this accident wasn't caused by incompetence of the operators, it was caused by [b]the sixth strongest earthquake ever fucking recorded[/b].

Its funny because those are canadian soldiers.
Either Americans are really stupid, or not forgiving.
Because obviously nuking their country wasn't big enough payback.

And I'm an American, I feel sorry to be in this new generation, it's pathetic.

That nuclear facility was built to withstand such massive earthquakes and most of the emergency fail-safes failed.
Why are people complaining about the plant safety measures failing and ignoring the fact that a tsunami just hit, the earthquake safety measures worked perfectly
