  • こんな国が非核三原則唱えたって矛盾してるだけ

    原発か非核かどっちかにして欲しい

    

  • Lately, Japanese former prime minister Naoto Kan said that "Almost all the causes by which the nuclear accident became large were before last year's March 11th". He had been a prime minister since June 8th 2010 to Sept. 2nd 2011. He has been obviously shifting responsibility.

  • これは核爆発・核暴走ではありえません。

    第一に、溶けた核燃料は、圧力容器(一番内側)や格納容器(その­外側)の底、もし­くは、さらにそれらをつきぬけたところ、にた­まりますが、その核燃料が爆発(「核爆発」)したとなると、その­上にある圧力­・格納容器などは、当然他の瓦礫とともに真っ先に­空高く吹き飛ば­されているはずです。

    しかし、3号機は、建屋の上半分の外壁が吹き飛ばさ­れた状態に­あります。その中の格納容器等は、傷を負いながらも­、もとから­ある場所にまだあります。ということは、これは、炉内部(もしく­はその下部)の核燃料によって引き起こされる「核爆発」「核暴走­」ではありえない、というわけです。

    第二に、燃料プールでの「核暴走」でも同様です。もしそこで「核­爆発」があったのなら、燃料プール及びそこにあった核燃料はもは­や原型をとどめてはいないはずです。

    第三に、核爆発であったなら、東京やその周辺地域で検出される放­射線量は、現在の比ではなかったでしょう。東日本全体で、飯舘村­並みの放射性物質で汚染されることになっていたとしてもおかしく­はありません。核暴走とはそれほどおそろしいことなのです。

  • I don't understand Japanese can somebody translate please?

    Pd I don't think this was a nuke test

  • これは3号機の炉心で起った爆発ではなく、格納容器の外にある使­用済燃料プールで起った核暴走だということが重要です。

  • all big explosions have mushroom clouds, not just nuclear ones

  • @netscapepizza, not all big explosions have mushroom clouds. And as I note @ 2:03, not all explosions that are mushroom shaped are nuclear. I think that's the point you meant to make.

    That said, if you check out my video response below, I'm now more inclined to believe Unit 3's unique characteristics vs Unit 1 were attributable to it being an ex-vessel steam explosion, vs Unit 1 being an upper-deck hydrogen explosion.

  • 核爆発の事実か・・・・いくらこれを残してもあまり意味はないだ­ろうなぁ

    隣の韓国も新しく建設するんでそ?東南アジア、その他もでしょ?­­

    日本ですら全く懲りてないよね?まだまだ原発利権だのでウハウハ­です­よね

    東電の社員も高額ボーナスでウハウハですよね?

    いくら真実の映像を残しても、人類は進むべく方向にしか進ま­な­い

    破壊と人類滅亡の道

    人は同じ過ちを何度もくりかえし、最後は宇宙から天誅くらって破­­滅するんだろうね

    まぁ破滅しないと不公平かもしれんね?他の生物に対しても・・・­

  • STEAM explosion is NOT possible at these temerpatures: 4,000 - 5,000 °C . The steam ionises and dissociates into gases - oxygen and hydrogen. Both detonating gases do NOT explode at such temperatures.

  • Fukushima and Chernobyl were both nuclear explosions. Chernobyl was 4,000 - 5,000°C - at these temperatures no chemical explosion of hydrogen and oxygen is possible. Simple. But a well hidden secret of the atomic industry. The yield of the Chernobyl explosion was more than 1000 Gigajoules = 0,2 - 0,3 Kiltons TNT - like a W45 nuclear warhead of the US forces, in the 1960ies. Nuclear Explosions of the reactor type.

  • @Tekknorg, indeed! In the description of this video is a link to a peer-reviewed study that concludes Chernobyl involved a nuclear explosion. This is news to most people, even those well-versed in nuclear matters.

  • 凄いですね

  • 必死で核爆発じゃなかったって言ってる連中がいるみたいだけど、­この動画見てもそう思ってるんだとしたらだいぶおめでたいね。

    

  • 核実験と双子みたいな原発爆発の部分、民放のCMに混ぜて流して­ほしい・・・

    一般の年寄りはネット見てないし話が通じないのです。

  • P-239 that went in with uranium is weapons grade theres your fission stupid people,saying they know everything.just sheep looking at there demize.

  • クリストファー・バズビー教授は福島第一の事故についてのインタ­ビューの中で

    バズビー「福島第一の核爆発では・・・」

    ニュースキャスター「核爆発?」

    バズビー「核爆発とかそうじゃないとか問題じゃない」

    というやりとりをしただけなんだよな。

    バズビーは放射線症の専門科学者で、物理学者でも原子力専門家で­もない。

    うっかり言い間違えただけだろう。

  • この動画が削除されませんように。

  • @hoyoyomi2008, this video was removed for 14 days between August 15 and 29 whereupon YouTube reinstated it after accepting my Fair Use appeal and rejecting Fukushima Central Television's copyright claim.

  • 「キノコ雲」というのは、爆発ならいつでも発生するモノではあり­ません。その爆発が、周囲の空気を一瞬にして高温に熱した時にの­み起こる、特徴的な「雲」です。戦闘機が爆弾を落としているのに­地上でキノコ雲が発生していない爆発を皆さんも見たことがあるの­ではないでしょうか。「ただの急激な膨張」だけではキノコ雲は発­生しません。一瞬にして熱せられた周囲の空気が熱膨張を起こし膨­らみ、それが冷えていく過程でゆっくりと元に戻る、つまり収縮し­たとき、中心部分の煙が縮まってくる空気により上空へと押し上げ­られる現象なのです。核兵器の様に一瞬で周囲の空気を高温に加熱­膨張させる時に特徴的に現れます。しかし・・・Fukushim­aがまさか核反応の可能性があったとは。

  • もし核爆発だったら、こんなもんもんじゃなしい

    もう、核爆発するほど核分裂

    するものはないだろ

    核爆発だったら、建物溶けるし

  • Mushroom cloud, vortices, bla bla bla. An armchair nuclear physicist speculates that a nuclear criticality incident occurs by watching a video. In reality, a nuclear power plant does not contain enough material for critical mass, and even if it did, it needs to be enriched to a point far beyond what it is in the average plant.

  • @CheezyDee, actually an NPP has more fissile material than a warhead. The important differences include level of fuel enrichment and implosive lensing in warheads.

    Underlying Busby's thesis are the findings of Pakhomov and Dubasov (cited in annotations and linked-to in the description of this video) that the Chernobyl explosion may have in part been nuclear. Perhaps a hydrogen explosion might provide asymmetrical implosive compression on melted fuel to facilitate a low-yield nuclear blast.

  • Fukushima nuclear power plant was broken.and made a lot of radioactive beef.

    Japanese goverment says it will take over 10 years until become safe.

  • I can tell you why it wasnt a nuclear fission event...if it was, it would have taken out a larger area. Nuclear detonations have a temperature of 10-15 million degrees celcius, that generates an ENOURMOUS shockwave, the main cause of destruction from nuclear weapons...

    Yet, the paint on the other reactor buildings isnt scratched.

    Yes, it seems like it implodes first, that can have lots of reasons actually...

  • Unit3はなんと言おうと核爆発である。

  • 上に突き上げれば上で拡散するからキノコ雲になるだろ。

  • こんなのに巻き込まれたらたまったもんじゃないな...

  • 現首相がカイワレ農家に喧嘩売った時期とは違い、今はネットがあ­るんですよ現首相さん

    例えば、当時マスコミが余り発表していなかった、諫早湾の通称キ­゙ロチン、あれの許可を出したのが現首相であるという事や、諫早­湾の視察に訪れた時に、"今すぐ開ければ良いだろ!誰が許可した­んだ!"と叫んだのも調べれば数秒でわかるんですよ。

    もう八方塞ですよ。

  • It's pronounced nuclear and not nukelar.

    Otherwise your analysis is good.

    

  • Very nice job on the videos, with the slow motion and the forward/reverse, it's very easy to see exactly what you're describing. Well done.

  • The amounts of Pu released by the explosion of unit 3 was silly!

    Plutonium is listed as the most toxic substance to mankind on earth by the Guiness book of records...

  • @dgl1962 "Plutonium is listed as the most toxic substance to mankind on earth by? the Guiness book of records..."

    Is it? As in: is it really listed in GBoWR? And is it concidered that toxic?

    I doubt it, since chemical toxicity is about that of cadmium and caffeine, and nowhere near for instance botulinum toxin where nanograms are lethal. And the radioactivity is much less than for instance Iodine-131 which is approx. million times as active.

  • @mkarnerfors You're mixing chemical toxicity with the toxic effects of radiation.

    Pu is supposedly the most "deadly" material that you can injest.

  • @dgl1962 And as I said: as far as radiotoxicity goes, I-131 is one *million* times as active as Pu. Not only that but iodine accumulates in the thyroid, and is volatile, while it's difficult to Pu into the body.

    So it's nonsense: plutonium is *not* a very "deadly" substance. This myth about plutonium being "extremely deadly" or "deadliest substance on earth" is just scaremongering. Substances that are *much* more toxic people gladly inject into their faces to get rid of wrinkles.

  • That reactor built part of my Walkman.

  • The brown colour of the cloud in unit 1 blast is one very significant tell tale sign of nuclear.

  • The step from events in Japan to Germany's abandonment of nuclear power is not based on logic. Fukushima tells us to avoid grossly incompetent, virtually designed to disastrously fail, *bad* nuclear power, not *all* nuclear power as such (though if you're pushing this conclusion anyway, the current crisis is useful in propaganda terms).

    Rather, the German "reaction" is a clue to the larger strategy wherein the Fukushima plant plays a role akin to impossibly imploding steel skyscrapers.

  • これだけは言える。

    日本オワタ\(^o^)/

  • Today an Italian newspaper "Il Sole 24 Ore " has reported the news!

    The Germany will stop Its the last nuclear reactor in 2022, becoming the first industrial power to renounce nuclear power. This was announced today, the German Environment Ministry. Currently, Germany derives from nuclear the 23 percent of its needs. "It is a final decision, " announced the minister Norbert Rottgen (CDU).

  • @DreamPiano, Great News! At least Germany has learned from Japan's mistakes! :)

  • @GoddardsJournal Thats not great news...live here, and you would know.

  • @DreamPiano And we will fill the gap with environment unfriendly coal, which will be kindly supplied by the russians and buying nuclear energy from france, which has 51 Nuclear Plants RIGHT AT OUR BORDER!

    The initiative to stop nucler power in germany will NOT make anyone safer, it will just skyrocket electricity prices and therefore tax...it is also a measure to win voters, as a hardline pro-atom policy would be recieved unfavorabely here...

  • 御用学者は、まだ安全と言うのかな?これで安全だったらカルト教­団と同じ。

  • キノコ雲だ

  • The basic information is that of the 6 reactors five are BWR boiling water reactors, they used light enriched uranium water. number is a mox fuel reactor, that uses plutonium and weapons grade fuel, from the united states. Both use light uranium water. A Mox reactor is supposed to clean and reuse the atomic nuclear weapons grade fuel. Mox is Metal oxides, versus boiling venting uranium enriched water. Neither fuels are hydrogen like the Atomic hiroshima bombs.

  • Both also lack a critical mass can be critical if the compression is possible but

    In that case, the uranium needs to be compressed evenly from all directions.

    Something like that without anything implosion lens that would not be obvious.

  • @cip12345, I'm increasingly skeptical that there was a criticality here (see my follow-up video linked at the end of this one).

    However, read the description for recently published evidence that Chernobyl's blast may be been driven in part by a criticality. So it may not be as impossible as has been assumed. The thesis of Gundersen is that the impulse of a hydrogen explosion exerted compressive forces on the fuel.

  • @cip12345 The most recent (June 3) theory is that there were three explosion sounds, possibly a first hydrogen explosion which shoves the fuel in the spent fuel pool together very rapidly, causing the prompt criticality.

  • Scientific knowledge, whether or not this is a brain test.

    Know that no nuclear explosion.

    The explosion of low-enriched uranium nuclear fuel for power plants that use is impossible.

    48kg of uranium but only 100% is the critical level can get together.

    Fuel for power plants but the majority of the alloy, even if the fuel rods melted

    Accumulated so much material other than uranium, a critical mass that is less obvious.

  • beautiful...beautiful...

  • 軽水炉の原発では核爆発しませんが…

  • @yyuta1124, Google: "Estimation of Explosion Energy Yield at Chernobyl NPP Accident"

    New evidence says Chernobyl may have involved a nuclear explosion: "the hypothesis of a nuclear mechanism of enormous instant energy yield in the Chernobyl accident seems quite convincing, as is supported by experimental data; these data are in good agreement with the calculated results."

    By Translate.Google :

    チェルノブイリの事故で膨大なインスタントエネルギー収率の核メ­カニズムの仮説は、実験データによってサポートされており、非常­に説得力のあるようだ。これらのデータは、計算結果とよく一致し­ている"。

  • icetookratiodal­a→isotope ratio data 同位体比率

  • 原子力専門家のクリストファー・マスビー氏

  • 当局は水素爆発と発表しましたが、原子力専門家クリストファー氏­は致命的な核爆発ではないかと見ています。1号基と3号基の爆発­を較べてみると、違いは爆発の大きさだけではありません。このビ­デオで、私達その違いを見出せます。最初の瞬間から、3号基の爆­発は拡大化しています。最初の煙が真っ黒です。1号基は全体的に­左右分裂して沈む一方で、3号基のは上昇しています。かなりの量­の煙が建物の5倍も上がっています。そこに極端な引っ張る力が掛­かり、小さな円を描く様な合流点が現れています。炎は煙の中に上­へ引っ張られ吸い込まれています。これは典型的な核爆発のパター­ンです。キノコ雲が風船の様に上がっていく爆発は特定の熱作用で­起こります。 3号基の爆発と兵器実験の核爆発を較べても、キノコ雲の大きさは­同一でまた、他の核爆発でも同じ熱作用のキノコ雲が表れます。視­覚による判定は補助材料に過ぎず、3号基が核爆発を起こしたとい­う事実確定証拠にはできません。icetookratiodal­a(?)というTEPCOが提出していないものが事実確定には必­要なのです。しかし、核爆発の特徴のあるこの映像を見て、誰が疑­問を抱かずにいれるのか?!

  • @ayanuhito 煙の形が似てる、ってだけじゃぁ判断に苦慮しますね。しかし日本­のNHKでは見た記憶がない映像なので貴重。日本政府あるいは東­電は、これが核爆発ではない証拠(データ)を示すことで信頼を回­復できるでしょう。

  • I agree, that there was a localized criticality.

    Tepco has recently denied, that in the contaminated water there was Chrol 38. But this denial has been published almost after a month after the first analysis.

    I guess, that the Tepco tells a lie.

  • If this Professor Busby had a good grasp of physics, he would realize that all of this is completely decoupled from the initial explosion mechanism. For example, mushroom clouds are a feature of ANY large explosion, not limited to nuclear ones.

  • @si1127, as I say: "not all explosions with these characteristics are nuclear." (2:08)

    But the point is *not all* large explosions display such mushroom formation, as for example

    1) the explosion of Unit 1

    2) 1000s lbs of gunpower : watch?v=IlS6535HBNk#t=1m19s

    3) this blast watch?v=FsWh0oohsjw

    4) this blast watch?v=hzKwbggkwiM

    Many blasts have a similar 'cauliflower' rotation but lack the distinct uni-capped mushroom form seen in the Unit 3 blast and the fission nuke shown side-by-side.

  • They said they detected neutron beams. I accept that as evidence of localized criticality. There certainly is enough material there to achieve that.

  • pwnd

  • Comment removed

  • @stealthbadger Sorry, didn't chain my comments - moved them, and apologies for the thread mess.

  • It's unlikely that it's a critical-mass explosion. First, the satellites that Russia and the US have in place for the purposes of NPT monitoring would have detected it - it's how we know Korea's underground bomb tests were fizzles. Second, the three towers around the building are undisturbed. Third, an uncontained critical mass results in a sloppy explosion. 4. The implosion is consistent with an explosion beneath ground level that is vented straight upward, as is the cloud.

  • @stealthbadger, to your points: 1, NPT monitoring didn't detect Chernobyl (see the video description, it was probably a criticality event). 2, The tower by the Chernobyl blast was undisturbed. 3, Can you point me to an example of an uncontained critical-mass explosion? 4, If the Unit-3 blast displays predictable hydrogen-explosion behavior, why didn't the Unit-1 blast display the same behavior?

  • @GoddardsJournal #1 "it was probably a criticality event" evidence?

    #2 See #1.

    3. The first North Korean nuclear test, possibly the second as well (which is why I mentioned it).

    4. Because the environment/terrain/obstacles involved at the site of an explosion can change how the force is directed and the pressure in the initial blast zone?

  • @stealthbadger, 1 & 2) As I said, read the video description, there you'll find evidence that Chernobyl was a nuclear explosion. 3) Okay, but what's your point? 4) Of course, but Units 1 and 3 are virtual 'carbon copies' of each other. If your saying the walls of Unit 3 made that blast like it was underground and thus forced to shoot upwards through the roof, well, Unit 1 had the exact same walls yet it's forces where lateral, not all upwards.

  • @GoddardsJournal 1 & 2 - you must not have read it carefully, because the amount of fuel involved was VERY small, and other signs point to it being an extremely "local" event not contributing much to the total of the explosive force. Not to put too fine a point on it, you're taking Chernobyl (which was possibly like a dirty bomb) and saying that it was *definitely* a subcritical event, and then applying the physics of a supercritical event to the explosion's airflow. (cont)

  • @stealthbadger 3. The comparatively low-energy subcritical event you're speaking of (Chernobyl) as well as the deceptive lack of scale on the cloud pictures you show undermine your entire argument. You may very well be correct, but the way you make your argument does not support you at all.

    4. "Unit 1 had the exact same walls" before the earthquake. Afterward, not so much. There are variables involved here that I suspect you're minimizing, not the least of which being the temperature (cont)

  • @stealthbadger of the outer containment vessel in #3, which was substantially different from #1 - and would have had commensurate effects on the structural strength of the unit (and therefore where the blast went), to say nothing of the physical deformation of the structure itself from the earthquake.

    Basically, I call shenanigans. You saw a clip of a mushroom cloud and are running with it to make a point, even though it doesn't support your case well at all.

  • @stealthbadger : "the outer containment vessel in #3, which was substantially different from #1"

    Actually, Fukushima Daiichi Units 1-5 all have the same containment. Google:

    "Units 1 through 5 have a Mark 1 (light-bulb-torus) type of containment structure."

  • @GoddardsJournal The entire quote (verbatim) is "the temperature of the outer containment vessel in #3, which was substatially different from #1" For a skeptic/debunker, you are incredibly dishonest. The temperature in the reactors at the moment of explosion most certainly WAS NOT the same, nor were the reactors in the same condition AT THE TIME OF THE RESPECTIVE EXPLOSIONS.

  • @stealthbadger, I sincerely apologize! I see that you didn't say what I answered, and it was because I didn't notice that your full statement continued from another of your flurry of multiple comments.

    I didn't spent 15 minutes researching that answer because I thought it addressed a point you didn't make. Your hair-trigger personal accusations and misrepresentation of my obviously restrained statements on the Chernobyl findings are not constructive critique and as such should not be welcomed.

  • @GoddardsJournal Apologies for the tone and suspicion, and for generally going RAWR in your comment thread. As someone who has followed Fox News for a long time, I am overly suspicious of this (just asking questions) form of presentation, since it has been so horribly abused - but that is no excuse to whack it every time it comes up.

    That being said, I stand by my analysis of the argument and still feel that the case for it being a subcritical event is relatively weak.

  • @stealthbadger, actually the Chernobyl data is cited just to show that nuclear-energy explosions may happen in reactors, contra prior assumptions.

    The fact that only a fraction of Chernobyl's fuel is estimated to've released "enormous" nuclear energy is irrelevant to the fact that those findings exist and suggest the possibility that it could happend again, verus not citing those findings and assuming it can't possibly happen, as has been assumed for decades.

  • @GoddardsJournal In other words, the Chernobyl data isn't something you're basing something on, just something you're building a circumstantial case around (yet presenting said case as fact despite its speculative nature).

    Have a nice life.

  • Dear Ian,

    Thank you very much for this balanced video, stating clearly at the end that consistency =/= evidence.

    Indeed, while I have no experience in demolition or the study of explosions, the very nature of explosions means that two explosions with identical causes in 'Apparently' identical situations can produce different results. And without a full understanding of what non-nuclear components could have caused the formation of the super-heated ring etc, we are limited to mere speculation.

  • Here's a hydrogen-tank explosion: watch?v=wlyCPbmO7Ts

    It's structurally identical to the Unit-1 blast with both vapory shockwave and significant lateral force, but lacking a dense dust cloud flowing with its forceful projection.

  • oh noes nuclear energy i dont understand how you work so you must be terrible! better throw up 10,000 more coal plants!

    you fucking dolts

  • @utubeaccount00 Who said a word about coal?NPPs use the same elements nuclear bombs are made of.They're designed to control fission reactions so the energy is harnessed for electricity instead of released in explosions.The problem is that all it takes is a control rod out of place,an explosion knocking uranium & plutonium pellets into one another, thereby simulating a gun-type fission device, or for the pellets to melt and mix.All it takes is 1 stray neutron.A very delicate & dangerous balance.

  • @utubeaccount00 You mean to say that there are only two ways (coal and nuclear) to turn turbines to make power? And you call other people fucking dolts?

  • @HyperIndividualist no im saying nuclear energy is fine and you are alarmist scare mongering shitheels

  • @utubeaccount00 Insults aren't an argument. Mature a little and then come back and join in on civilized adult dialogue. Nuclear power is a government subsidized failure of epic proportions. It's not safe. It's not cheap. It's not clean. It's a criminally insane way to make steam to turn turbines.

  • @HyperIndividualist come back when you have proof of any of your idiotic assumptions, IE it's not safe, its not clean

  • @utubeaccount00 Go snort some plutonium, True Believer.

  • @HyperIndividualist

    The designs of the reactors which the US sold around the world were not only bad for the time but bad since.

    I compare the designs they use to filling blimps with hydrogen, under supervision they are perfectly safe but when something abnormal like happened in Japan happens then things can go wrong, but in the end we are better off filling them with Helium and have far less to deal with.

    Nuclear power should be the way we go forward, but there's no money in it for investors.

  • New-Q-ler

  • nu-clear

  • I would definitely give that one to ya. The unit 1 explosion definitely looks like an explosion due to chemical ignition -- which can still produce mushroom cloud rendering fireballs if they're powerful enough and the ignition is contained/tampered. One of our rocket fuel plants here in the States produced a mushroom cloud by accident, but it also produced a ground-level shockwave that leveled the whole factory....

  • Unit 3's explosion doesn't appear to have a powerful enough shockwave for the size of it's mushroom cloud to be chemical ignition, but the video isn't high enough to see it's shockwave well enough, so I can't be certain, but it's definitely very likely to be a nuclear blast.

  • I must say that this is an extremely interesting hypothesis.

  • These first generation nuclear powerplants have to go. The technology is fifty years old, they are using nuclear material to BOIL WATER. They were designed on PAPER. Even if you support nuclear power, these things are simply death traps.

  • @dangerouslytalented We don't need any at all. Wave Power: youtube dot com/watch?v=gcStpg3i5V8 Imagine rows of those along the beach and extended out to sea as far as engineering would allow.

  • @HyperIndividualist Germany has made such a big move into solar, that they are considering shutting down their nuclear plants. I wass saying that even IF nuclear power WAS necessary, THESE old first generation nuclear power plants are not worth the risk, and should be very carefully shut down.

  • @dangerouslytalented I agree with you.

  • An excellent overview, and hopefully it will spark further research. I'll go out on a limb & say it was no mere hydrogen blast, & that regardless of the mechanism behind it, the reactor played a big roll in what is one of the largest and dirtiest dirty "bomb" detonations over a populated area in history.

  • @HyperIndividualist, so many times I've heard nuclear-energy advocates promise that a mushroom-cloud explosion could never emerge from a nuclear-power plant. How high the price of being wrong about nuclear technologies!

    Hay, thanks for your help on researching this topic!

  • @GoddardsJournal You're welcome. The nuke industry & their slogan repeaters have at least 3 core beliefs/lies (some actually believe in them): Chernobyl can't happen again, radiation is basically safe enough anyway, & in any case 'we' just can't live without it. In order to keep the lights on (& the bombs fueled) they're willing to sacrifice y number of people over x time span. That doesn't compute to the rational mind, but we're obviously not dealing with completely rational people.

  • @GoddardsJournal All large explosions are mushroom cloud explosions. Actually, the only difference between an FAE (Fuel Air Explosion) and a nuclear explosion is the presence high radiation in the the latter. There NO distinct "nuclear fission" characteristics of the explosion in question.

  • @Exmech2, yes, I agree. That's why I said: "not all explosions with these characteristics are nuclear" (2:08). So, as I also noted, the cited characteristics are not proof of a nuclear blast.

    But the point is: not all explosions have these characteristics, as for example the explosion of Unit 1. Are you aware of a hydrogen explosion that looks like the #3 blast?

    What do you think about the black smoke and darker color of #3 ejecta? Would it imply burnt or ejected matter as opposed to gas?

  • @GoddardsJournal Explosion: A release of mechanical, chemical, or nuclear energy in a sudden and often violent manner with the generation of high temperature and usually with the release of gases.

    There are videos of large explosions of amunition in Iraq with similar characteristics to both the explosions.

    BTW: Busby is a loon. Your video stinks more of conspiracy theory.

  • @Exmech2 "Criticality occurs when too much fissile material is in one place. Criticality can be achieved by using metallic uranium or plutonium OR BY MIXING compounds or liquid solutions of THESE ELEMENTS." (Emphases mine)- /wiki/Criticality_accident The question isn't really "could it have gone critical," but how couldn't it have? Molten relatively spherical blobs of uranium & plutonium MIXING, as in MIXED OXIDE=stray neutron spark?I suggest you look up the "Demon Core".One wrong move=kaboom

  • @Exmech2: "There are videos of large explosions of ammunition in Iraq with similar characteristics"

    True! Here's a great example: watch?v=nUUXEvHBDgw And that's why I said, "not all explosions with these characteristics are nuclear" (2:08).

    Keep in mind that military-munitions explosions aren't necessarily the same as hydrogen-gas explosions. So again, please let me know if you find a hydrogen-gas explosion that resembles the Unit-3 blast.

  • @Exmech2 When engineering fails, physics take over.

  • @HyperIndividualist Actually physics is always in charge, whether "engineering" has "failed" or not. The problem is... physics says that a nuclear fuel won't create a nuclear explosion of any kind. Small or large.

  • @HyperIndividualist Actually physics is always in charge, whether "engineering" fails or not. The problem for your side , and Busby, is that physics says that a nuclear fuel pile won't create a nuclear explosion. This has been quite clear for... oh... 70 years now.

  • @Exmech2 That's not what the abstract to Estimation of Explosion Energy Yield at Chernobyl NPP Accident linked to above in the video description suggests. Scientists being wrong for 70 (and many more) years is nothing new in the annals of science. Now it's time for the nuke industry to drop the hubris, pride, arrogance, and subsidized greed in order to address the real scientific problem of our time - how to clean up their presently insoluble and ever-increasing messes.
