NHK there certainly are differnces in what a breach means..by Dean 3/26/2011 7:43:10 PM
I find more credible denials of a breach than I'd like to see them being forced to make.by radioguy 3/26/2011 7:43:13 PM
@Matsuoko good post. So the Co60 is forensically diagnostic of material that HAD to have come from an inner part of the reactor directly bombarded with fission neutrons. That's the kind of science we need to make correct deductions as to what is really going on. Thank you.by Sky 3/26/2011 7:43:31 PM
They can't entomb them just yet because they are not cool enoughby Rexz 3/26/2011 7:43:37 PM- Everything I have read about a breach leads back to that NYT article...by Jeff 3/26/2011 7:43:37 PM
- wow jojo.. I don't really know.. could be going on for a year maybe.. this is huge.. and not a simple taskby Dean 3/26/2011 7:43:40 PM

@Dean A translation from Japanese could be leakby NHK Listener 3/26/2011 7:43:55 PM- yehby Dean 3/26/2011 7:44:08 PM
- @JoJo I'm still not sure anyone can suggest a mechanism by which a cluster of 4 reactors with their fused fuel pools can be entombed.by radioguy 3/26/2011 7:44:17 PM
- in my experience with the reactors and terminology I use.. a breach can mean the cladding ..by Dean 3/26/2011 7:44:27 PM
- snice the cladding is the first line of defence from accidents on fuelby Dean 3/26/2011 7:44:38 PM
- @Rexz Why aren't they pouring massive amounts of boric acid on it? Water from fire trucks doesn't seem to be cutting it.by Jojo 3/26/2011 7:44:44 PM
- I would trust more Mr tanaka thzn mby Future Isnow 3/26/2011 7:44:49 PM
- the cladding is the primary first containment for fuelby Dean 3/26/2011 7:44:53 PM
- @Elaine is your screen different from yesterday - Comments in moderation addedby George Gibb 3/26/2011 7:45:09 PM
- oooops than Mr kakuby Future Isnow 3/26/2011 7:45:11 PM
- @Dean : level 7 is more than 70 TBq radiation leak. i am not able to estimate it, but it does not seem impossible in fukushima.by Matsuoko 3/26/2011 7:45:36 PM
- I think Dr Tanaka has some good ideas.. but he was grandstanding on CNNby Dean 3/26/2011 7:45:46 PM
- @Jojo, I guess its because they still need to contain the reactors, they are still producing a lot of heat, and if the water goes, there will be a meltdown... you can't just cover it over.by Rexz 3/26/2011 7:46:03 PM
- @Dean So if the water levels are lowered to exposure, how does the cladding ignite? Would we have to assume that 50% damage means all of them are 50% melted?by radioguy 3/26/2011 7:46:27 PM
- @radioguy : molybdaneuom and cobalt together with chrome make steel. co-cr-mo steel. stainless steel.by Matsuoko 3/26/2011 7:46:48 PM
- @Dean when you get old, you're often granstanding . you can also granstanding because you have tried to told the truth about misconception ?by Future Isnow 3/26/2011 7:47:24 PM
- MATSUOKO.. this is my opinion only .. this accident is unprecedented in the nuclear industry.. and it goes beyond the norm for accident levels,, therefore I believe that we need to just go full bore .. and get the plan to protect the people first.. even if it means every one evacuated.. in 30 miles.. that's what they did at chernobyl and maybe why they piced itby Dean 3/26/2011 7:47:41 PM
@Rexz If there was a meltdown, you wouldn't want water around. It would build up steam and cause an explosion.by Jim Carver 3/26/2011 7:47:43 PM- I'd like to thank everyone here and on Reuters answering our questions, it's been very helpful.by Jojo 3/26/2011 7:48:07 PM
- true future,,, I wish they had Dr over there helping truthfully .. he's an expertby Dean 3/26/2011 7:48:17 PM
- Good to know, Matsuko. I guess that's why they were quoting it as evidence of corrosion.by radioguy 3/26/2011 7:48:28 PM
Hmmmm.by Janis 3/26/2011 7:48:34 PM- @Jim Carver true, but preventing it currently I guess is the best thing they can do. If they did just leave it, im sure more explosions could take place.by Rexz 3/26/2011 7:48:35 PM
- future you just made me chuckle.. because I'm old..by Dean 3/26/2011 7:49:14 PM
- How old are you Dean?by Janis 3/26/2011 7:50:07 PM
- Yeah, I'm really not too worried about catastophic failure, just the slow continuous leaking is my biggest one.by Jim Carver 3/26/2011 7:50:25 PM
- I can ask because I really am old. 54. So Iby Janis 3/26/2011 7:50:33 PM
- @Dean totally agree on that, they lost some precious time, and if nothing bad happen, well, it will not have such a bad decision . but if something bad happen, government and Nisa and others will have a lot of casualties on their "souls". (conscience in french)by Future Isnow 3/26/2011 7:50:39 PM
- @Dean or @whoever Have we ever had a MOX reactor fall into a state like this? Are there issues other than the toxicity of the radiation that will make it harder?by radioguy 3/26/2011 7:50:43 PM
- So I am not being rude. sorry.by Janis 3/26/2011 7:50:43 PM
- @Rexz Sorry if you've answered this 100 times already, but what is their game plan? What could they use to cool these reactors? Molten lead, boric acid, liquid nitrogen, ??by Jojo 3/26/2011 7:51:04 PM
- radioguy.. none that I know of .. and the main thing in MOX is now they have a plutonium variable...by Dean 3/26/2011 7:51:52 PM

- Engineers toil to pump out Japan plant www.reuters.comby NHK Listener 3/26/2011 7:51:58 PM
- I think a water spray over the area would help take out some of the particles going upby Dean 3/26/2011 7:52:13 PM
yes George I am picking it up slowly but surelyby elainekirk 3/26/2011 7:52:23 PM
@elainekirk2001 I haven't thanked you properly for aiding George. Thanks so muchby marie rich 3/26/2011 7:53:32 PM
