Japan may have lost race to save nuclear reactor

From The Guardian


The radioactive core in a reactor at the crippled Fukushima nuclear power plant appears to have melted through the bottom of its containment vessel and on to a concrete floor, experts say, raising fears of a major release of radiation at the site...


Radiation levels soar in Japan sea water

Japan's nuclear safety agency said on Wednesday that water near the crippled plant's No. 1 reactor contained radioactive iodine at 3,355 times the legal limit...

Fourth Explosion, Nuclear Catastrophe Continues.

Cover Up Of Fukushima Chain Reaction Underway

From Prison Planet.

All the nuclear reactors at the earthquake stricken Fukushima nuclear plant are under threat of melting down and exploding in a chain reaction that will signify the world’s worst ever nuclear disaster and send clouds of radioactive particles hurtling towards the United States – that’s the scale of the crisis facing Japan as officials admit for the first time that three nuclear reactors are already in a meltdown.
While the mainstream media continues to argue over the definition of a “meltdown” while unquestionably regurgitating the dubious claim of Japanese officials that the two massive explosions witnessed at the plant were caused by pressurized hydrogen, radioactive isotopes cesium-137 and iodine-121 have been detected by helicopters flying 160km (100 miles) away from the nuclear plant, which can only mean one thing, according to the Seattle Times: “One or more of the reactor cores is badly damaged and at least partially melted down.”
After claiming for three days that the explosions did not damage reactor cores and downplaying the severity of the situation, Japanese officials have now been forced to admit the obvious, that nuclear fuel rods in three reactors are melting. Given the sequence of events, it is entirely probable that all six reactor sites will now go into total meltdown and start spewing radioactive particles into the atmosphere that threaten not only Japanese citizens but also those living on the west coast of the United States...

Second Massive Explosion At Fukushima

Reuters is reporting that "a fresh explosion at Japan's quake-stricken Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power complex on Monday is unlikely to have led to a large escape of radioactivity, the government said."

I find that very hard to believe. Either this all looks much worse then it is, or the world public is being deceived on a massive scale.

Can seemingly absurd claims that the reactor remains intact beneath this massive explosion be taken seriously?

This second explosion looks even worse then the first and seems to almost form a mushroom cloud. It's hard to believe that there aren't massive amounts of radiation being leaked here. However, we should search for expert opinions that would support this suspicion.

Nuclear Plant Designer Says Japanese Government Suppressing Scale Of Crisis

From Prison Planet.

A former nuclear power plant designer has said Japan is facing an extremely grave crisis and called on the government to release more information, which he said was being suppressed. Masashi Goto told a news conference in Tokyo that one of the reactors at the Fukushima-Daiichi plant was “highly unstable”, and that if there was a meltdown the “consequences would be tremendous”. He said such an event might be very likely indeed. So far, the government has said a meltdown would not lead to a sizeable leak of radioactive materials...

Could This All Be Some Kind of 3/11?

The following is speculation, not fact or even news.

I don't want to go off into bizarre speculation, but the date of the Japan disaster is 3/11/2011

That is a little to close for comfort to 9/11/2001.

Anyway I'm not into numerology, but if there is some false flag element to this, that would point in that direction.

I thought it odd also that the explosion happened right after Hillary proclaimed the U.S. had sent in some "really important coolant." This is reminding me of Haliburton doing those funny operations before the Gulf Oil Disaster.

On one of the news broadcasts I did hear that Fukushima is one of the largest, or maybe even the largest, concentrated area of nuclear energy production in the world.

Then we have this bizarre map which probably is disinfo and has not been confirmed showing apocalyptic levels of radiation hitting the west coast. Probably just BS. Let's certainly hope so. In any case this disaster is looking to be much worse then the mainstream has been letting on in any case. I think the worst case here however is far less then this map seems to suggest.

That central Tokyo has turned into a ghost town with people walking around in masks is not surprising however.



Looks to be an interesting weekend.

Fukushima Nuclear Reactor Explodes In Japan

Update: U.S. Embassy personel in Tokyo have been moved to an offsite location (see bottom)

Not sure why the media and government of Japan isn't calling a spade a spade here. All the news I've been hearing has been playing this down. It exploded as can be seen here.



According to Youtube this is Reactor One which appears to have been completely destroyed.



Here are the Fema safety guidelines for anyone near a meltdown. I would imagine the wind might carry the radioactivity a good distance as well.

Business Standard confirms a meltdown.

..."The plant is experiencing a nuclear meltdown," Japanese nuclear scientists confirmed, after Prime Minister Naoto Kan visited the site in a helicopter early today.
Reports said the main building of the plant housing the reactor as well as the outer walls were blown away in the high intensity explosion which occurred at 3.30 pm local time (1200 IST) as the cooling water levels dropped alarmingly through evaporation after the quake had damaged the main plant.

"The loss of cooling water is leading to a meltdown of the reactor," Jiji Press reported.

TV footage showed smoke billowing from the site and reported that the reactor building had been destroyed. The channels and public broadcasters warned nearby residents to turn off air conditioners and not to drink tap water.

People going outside were told to avoid exposing their skins and to cover faces with masks and wet towels.

Kyodo quoting police said that another nuclear plant adjacent to the one which exploded was also malfunctioning with the radiation level reaching almost 1000 times the normal level...

United States delivers coolant to quake-hit Japan's nuclear plant

..."We just had our Air Force assets in Japan transport some really important coolant to one of the nuclear plants," Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced yesterday, as Tokyo declared a state of emergency for five of its nuclear reactors at two atomic power plants in northeastern coast of Japan, where an 8.9-magnitude quake struck yesterday...

mmm...seems that coolant really did the job there.

Obama said he has dispatched a second ship to the region for possible relief and rescue operation. "We currently have an aircraft carrier in Japan, and another is on its way. We also have a ship en route to the Marianas Islands to assist as needed," he said.

"The Defence Department is working to account for all our military personnel in Japan," he said.

The US embassy personnel in Tokyo have moved to an offsite location.

The State Department is working to account for and assist all American citizens who are in the country.

Der Spiegel: For U.S. Leaked Cables are "no less than a political meltdown."

From Spiegel Online.

The leak of over 250,000 American diplomatic cables could prove highly embarrassing for the US State Department. The documents reveal what US diplomats really think of other countries, and their worldview is incredibly dark at times. Relations with several countries are likely to suffer as a result.

Meltdown. The Final Phase?

As Soros is quoted a month ago in an article from Bloomberg entitled, Soros Says ‘We Have Just Entered Act II’ of Crisis , we can also read in this article on Infowars and Neithercorp Press how we have just entered stage, phase, or act two of a colossal global financial crisis.

“We will not have any more crashes in our time.”
- John Maynard Keynes in 1927
“I see nothing in the present situation that is either menacing or warrants pessimism… I have every confidence that there will be a revival of activity in the spring, and that during this coming year the country will make steady progress.”
- Andrew W. Mellon, U.S. Secretary of the Treasury December 31, 1929
“[1930 will be] a splendid employment year.”
- U.S. Dept. of Labor, New Year’s Forecast, December 1929
“While the crash only took place six months ago, I am convinced we have now passed through the worst — and with continued unity of effort we shall rapidly recover. There has been no significant bank or industrial failure. That danger, too, is safely behind us.”
- Herbert Hoover, President of the United States, May 1, 1930
Most of us were not alive to witness the throws of the Great Depression, but for many, the quotes above sound strangely familiar. Pundits and government officials of our fateful era have taken to spewing the same kind of nonsense on a daily basis, and one begins to wonder if they are TRYING to top the ridiculous statements of their forebears in an attempt of ultimate mockery. Today, not only are we told that “green shoots” abound, but that if those green shoots fail, it will only be because we did not “believe” hard enough in their existence!...
