FUKUSHIMA FIRE/EXPLOSION A DISTRACTION FROM THIS!!! Japanese Ambassador Warns Reactor 4 Is Sinking!

The cooling system for the spent fuel pool at the crippled Fukushima Daiichi power plant’s No. 4 reactor automatically suspended operation Saturday, Tokyo Electric Power Co. said.

The utility known as TEPCO has been unable to activate a backup cooling system for the pool and is looking into the cause of the trouble, officials of the plant operator said [...]

What Just Happened At Fukushima Reactor 4

Recently taken pictures of the damaged reactor 4 building look even worse than before.  Possible spent fuel pool collapse?  If it has collapsed please proceed to plan B in a calm and orderly fashion; stick your head between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye.  We’ll all be glowing soon.

“What is the U.S. gov’t waiting for?”: Japan will not act; U.S. must address threat of No. 4 fuel pool

What Is the United States Government Waiting for?
By Akio Matsumura

What Is the United States Government Waiting for?

“We continue to post the opinions of many international scientists on the potential global catastrophe that would result from the collapse of Reactor 4 at Fukushima Dai-ichi. The message now is simple and clear—Japan’s government will not act; it is the United States who must step forward—yet no action has been taken.

Fukushima Worker: Tepco has another camera filming right now near Reactor No. 4 — We’ve been watching it

June 13, 2012 tweet by Fukushima worker @Happy11311 translated by EXSKF:

In fact, there is a camera right now from the Reactor 4 side. There is a camera on the upper part of the (exhaust) stack on the south side of Reactor 4, and we’ve been looking (at the images from that camera).

Fukushima is mostly ignored by our media which also ignores the Bilderberg gang.  And a lot of other important stuff.  The above photo was taken during the recent TEPCO tour of reactor #4.  They actually have a crane there that fitfully removes debris.  The entire structure is on the point of caving in but TEPCO has put supports under part of the pool.  But this [...]

TEPCO says they don’t know what to do if Reactor 4 collapses, instead declaring it safe from earthquakes after finding it leaning and with a bulged exterior wall.
The Wall Street Journal just reported that TEPCO doesn’t have a plan to deal with the collapse of Spent Fuel Pool 4 at the Fukushima nuclear reactor in Japan.

The revelation comes as a US army general warns the entire Northern Hemisphere is at [...]

Fukushima: New and Alarming Info on the Situation

Here’s some new info on the situation. Not sure how accurate it is. If the info regarding reactor 4 in anyway true, this situation is highly alarming.

The effects of Fukushima certainly are not confined to Japan. We live in a closed system; humans don’t realize that our numbers are now large enough that our collective actions have attained the magnitude of a geologic force.

Fukushima Is Falling Apart: Are You Ready … For A Mass Extinction Event?

April 26, 2012

If they are MOX fuel, containing 6% plutonium, one fuel rod has the potential to kill 2.89 billion people. If this pool collapses, as Senator Wyden is now saying too, we would face a mass extinction event from the release of radiation in those rods.

That is, if we aren’t in one already. Nuke experts like Arnie Gundersen and Helen Caldicott are prepared to evacuate their families to the [...]

Fukushima reactor 4 could collapse with catastrofic results.

Apart that we are all aware that fuel imports has increased due to nuclear issues in japan it came to my attention that there is a major issue with the reactor 4 building.

The Largest Short-Term Threat to Humanity: The Fuel Pools of Fukushima

The Greatest Single Threat to Humanity: Fuel Pool Number 4

We noted days after the Japanese earthquake that the biggest threat was from the spent fuel rods in the fuel pool at Fukushima unit number 4, and not from the reactors themselves. See this and this.

We noted in February:

Scientists say that there is a 70% chance of a magnitude 7.0 earthquake hitting Fukushima this year, and a 98% chance within the next 3 years.

Given that nuclear expert Arnie Gundersen [...]

Things are suddenly heating up again with Fukushima. As we reported yesterday, the southern wall of Fukushima reactor #4 apparently collapsed over the past few days, calling into question the structural integrity of the remainder of the containment building (http://www.naturalnews.com/034387_F…).

The mainstream media has said absolutely nothing about this development, continuing its pattern of downplaying news involving Fukushima, radiation or the flawed structure of nuclear power plants. This [...]

TEPCO forced to review reactor 4 cooling plan

The operator of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant has been forced to reconsider its plan to cool the spent fuel storage pool of the No.4 reactor.

Water injection from a special vehicle has not been intense enough to cool the water in the pool, allowing the temperature to remain at more than 80 degrees Celsius.

Regarding reactor #4:

by Chris

Give the bent rebar, the pulverized concrete, twisted metal, and the general rubble level, this has every earmark of a relatively high-energy explosion, not an oil-based fire.

In fact, this is so blindingly obvious, that I hesitate to even pretend that I think there’s any sort of reasonable disagreement that can be had as to whether the outer containment building blew up or is suffering [...]

From a Christian Science Monitor article about Fukushima Daiichi Reactor #4……link to full article here:

Fuel rod assemblies

Each “fuel assembly,” roughly 15 feet long, is a unit containing 82 fuel rods full of the reactor’s fuel: uranium oxide pellets. During periodic refueling shutdowns, workers typically replace 20 to 30 percent of the fuel assemblies.

Once extracted from the reactor, the used assemblies are housed in close-fitting steel containers that are treated with boron, to ensure they don’t resume the chain reactions [...]
