  • Maybe they can plug up the turbine building where number 2 exits, then run a new pipe.

  • Didn't the Soviets use lead to cover the core? Lead pellets within the water being injected would become molten as they entered the core and eventually envelop and cover the undamaged core while following the melted core to its resting place.

  • that might be a good idea, hank. kinda of like the radiator stop-leak beads for cars.

  • I'm still stuck on how you entomb it after it plays out. It could all be under water in a hundred years.

  • VeenOui - Alex Jones Show? Home of the InfoWars website which retardedly linked the annual pollen release of Japanese Cedars to radiation and "yellow rain?" Come on.
    by Hank Scorpio 3/27/2011 7:43:06 AM

  • Int the Video below, there is some info on Not working EPA monitors and some more info i didn't know.

  • KYODO, Govt. now ORDERS TEPCO to find the Radiation leak !
    by VeenOui 3/27/2011 7:44:16 AM

  • They asked Edano if the radioactivity is so high at reactor 2, will that hinder the work near the reactors. He said they need to ensure safety, and something about removing the radioactive water and that could take a long time.

  • radioguy - He said "some" time, or at least the translator did.
    by Hank Scorpio 3/27/2011 7:46:00 AM

  • While I enjoy infowars and Alex Jones for his tinfoil-hat entertainment, I definitely wouldn't credit it with any kind of actual information.
    by jgbarr 3/27/2011 7:46:04 AM

  • yes
    by radioguy 3/27/2011 7:46:19 AM

  • i love "some" time
    by radioguy 3/27/2011 7:46:28 AM

  • The problem with Alex Jones and InfoWars is that, while they've come up with some very important stuff on a number of occasions, they destroy their credibility with inane bullshit in order to have something to fill the other 99% of the time they have nothing important to add.

  • @Radioguy It is exactly what CNIC told yesterday.

  • Yes, Hank, The slow news day syndrome.
    by FradyKat 3/27/2011 7:49:02 AM

  • so it seems that the rupture of R2's suppression chamber is now accepted, and that seriously radioactive water is assumedly still leaking from it so there's going to be a lot of action suddenly. This kind of explains the silence for much of the day. They needed to minutely consider how to handle that press conference.
    by radioguy 3/27/2011 7:49:44 AM

  • @oliver But it's now on the press feeds rather than the nerd feeds. I think that's a milestone, even if it is a slow news day.
    by radioguy 3/27/2011 7:51:01 AM

  • I wonder who is working on computer simulations for worst case scenarios involving the food chain, especially in Japan where so much of their food comes from the ocean - anyone heard anything about that?
    by jgbarr 3/27/2011 7:51:38 AM

  • I'm happy they're finally being forced to admit that it's not even close to over, because now the discussion of what to do has the blinkers removed.
    by radioguy 3/27/2011 7:53:12 AM

  • It will be interesting to see how they fix things, day by day.
    by FradyKat 3/27/2011 7:54:01 AM

  • This is like watching a slow motion trainwreck. Ooo it's tipping ooo going back on the rai- oooo tipping again etc.
    by Hank Scorpio 3/27/2011 7:54:04 AM

  • In some ways it's been like being a psychic seeing a trainwreck, because many in the Reuters blog were projecting just this all along. The problem with being Cassandra is that you don't even get to say I told you so.
    by radioguy 3/27/2011 7:56:42 AM

  • Anyway, sleep is unavoidable. nite again.
    by radioguy 3/27/2011 7:58:34 AM

  • I feel so so sorry for Japan. Heck, I feel sorry for the world at this moment.

  • radioguy - I think projections either way were speculation based upon bias and disposition. No one had enough information within the first week to make accurate predictions. It's only been about the last 4 days or so that anyone who's paying attention could definitively say it's getting far worse.

  • Government of Japan will hold a press briefing for international press. twitter.com

  • elaborate!
    by stef 3/27/2011 8:29:31 AM

  • Well you see, some jackass from the EPA turned the power off at the containment unit and let all the captured spirits free... there's radioactive ooze flowing under the streets... also something about a giant marshmallow
    by Hank Scorpio 3/27/2011 8:30:50 AM

  • I was babysitting for my navy friends and it's basically going to blow is what the general consensus is navy wide.
    by stef 3/27/2011 8:31:20 AM

  • Wait, what?
    by stef 3/27/2011 8:31:23 AM

  • haha nice one hank, nothing really new stef
    by ids 3/27/2011 8:31:46 AM

  • dude, nothing is impossible- I was babysitting 5 kids- oooze is everywhere. But I'm over the conspiracy stuff etc. I was hoping there would be an update other than "There's a whole lotta radiation on the air"
    by stef 3/27/2011 8:32:56 AM

  • @stef, today's news is number 2 has a leak, and not much else has happened.
