Future nuclear power plants should adopt the Thorium fuel cycle. LFTR type reactors are safer, more efficient, and produce far less radioactive waste isotopes with much shorter half-lives. No possibility of melt downs, no need to enrich uranium, and the fuel "Thorium" is much more abundant.
there are over 440 nuclear reactors worldwide. 3 go bad and we panic, nuclear power is the most efficient power in the world curenlty, so for any of you who think your wind and solar power are gonna cut it think again.
@indestruciblea7x There's hundreds of "incidents" are logged each year. The companies that run them and the governments have a huge stake invested in these plants, so don't expect to read about any of it in the news anytime soon, unless it's on a scale that can't be denied. The only reason wind and solar are being neglected is because of these historic investments.
@22ness0hayden the reason why wind and solar are being neglected are because they both suck when it comes to power output... one wind turbine puts out about 2mw of power one nuclear reactor can put out 500-1000mw think of a nuke plant with 5 reactors think of the number of wind turbines you would need? the earth has an energy crisis on its hands. you have 3 options for large power outputs... coal, natural gas and nuclear.nuclear is clean like wind and solar and its powerful like coal and gas
@indestruciblea7x It's not clean. It produces tonnes of highly radioactive waste each year that must be stored for the next 10,000 years. It's all about money, it always will be. There's just a token investment in wind and solar so it is really underdeveloped. Look at a country like New Zealand. 70% of their power is produced from geothermal and hydro. It can be done if governments are willing.
Germany, Switzerland and others have already began to replace theirs.
@22ness0hayden you can store all the waste from every palnt in the world in a 2 story building the size of a basketball court. in one year, thats not that much waste and its safe every worker in the plant is under constant measuring of radiation. if they are getting 0 in the plant what do you think the peopole outside are getting wind and solar will never be able to produce that kind of power
@2012GreenGhost420 It's not likely that it's something you'd plan to address... They did a good job making the plant, but the disaster it was stacked up against was unprecedented.
@2012GreenGhost420 Where are you gonna put them? Ground level is unsafe and even in an elevated position they could be affected. The only safe location would be offsite, but even then there's no guarantee the infastructure would be left standing to transport it.

It is now well established that the 3 reactors melted down as a result of the earthquake itself. The 3 core melt through's resulted in one nuclear explosion at reactor 3 which also blew over 600,000 .38slug sized plutonium pellets up to 2 miles away. the radiation readings are off the scale today, even south of Tokyo but you'll have to research that because public TV isn't telling you the truth.
The level of fallout that will drop onto Japan will be the most radiation mankind have ever witnessed. This is the worst nuclear disaster EVER. The governments will tell you not to worry. You should worry. Across the entire pacific rim you should worry. Don't eat fish. Don't stay in the rain. Avoid milk. Iodine loves milk.
@sidewaysfcs0718 we just need to pass on this stupid atomic energy and start looking for alternate energy, more safe thats what i think...we can and MUST do something to replace atomic energy with something else...more reliable...
@sidewaysfcs0718 fusion already exists it has since the 1970's. Look up cold fusion a way more effective and less daunting of a task to make than regular fusion and it is a limitless power source. The world governments just dont want to release this technology yet because there making a lot of money continuing to use fossil fuel, they're going to milk fossil fuel until they run out because it makes a lot of money. We could be driving floating cars by now its just not going to happen cuz of the $
There are no safety systems that resilient nature (Fukushima) or resiliently arrogant man (Chernobyl) cannot outmaneuver :-))
A cruel irony of fate, Japan, consisting of seismically unstable islands requires nuclear power to maintain its industry and current living standards.
Many Japanese enjoy a high technological standard of living but are unwilling to accept that for them (unlike for other nation states with nuclear power) it comes at a high price.
the heat boils the water and then the water makes turbines go and make electricity theres nothing wrong with this but they need to be build underground not in a goddam sismic site japan is building more not less since fuku
Wikipedia says at some point the radiation was so severe the plant management considered ordering all personnel to flee the plant and save themselves. In the absence of staff at the plant, runaway reactions could have released a fallout dozens of times more severe than Chernobyl. Japan would have become uninhabitable.
Further truth is in the book "Fukushima 3/11 & Japan's Government. WHY IT SUCKS" on sale at Amazon. It discloses the failures conducted by TEPCO as well.
Chris Busby says Japans government DELIBERATELY spreading fallout all over Japan just to mask the effects at Fukushima. This is an atrocity of the highest order.
Typical human arrogance. General Electric designed those reactors for the Japanese. A few of the people working on the design quit their jobs because they knew it wasn't safe. Assuming you survive the next few decades you will have cancer. Just like the Earth has cancer now... cancer called Man. "Mom's coming round to put it back the way it ought to be!" And good fucking riddance to you and your ignorant families.
@finallykickinback " no way to dispose of toxic waste" Don't need to dispose of most of it. The more radioactive the so-called waste is the more suitable it is as a fuel. If the laws bought by the uranium mining lobby were changed to allow reprocessing, there would be no high level waste.
"If it's a choice between that mess and carbon - I'll take carbon."
Coal fired power stations release more radiation per watt than nuclear, by many times. Also kill more people.
@ImMichaelTaylor As long as there is ANY toxic waste I want no part of it. If coal powered stations kill people they should be done away with too. I still prefer coal to nuclear. They don't follow the current laws. No reason to believe they'd follow any new ones. They don't care how many people they kill.
Coal kills literally thousands of times more people per unit of power generated. How can that be preferable?
Don't you think it would be better if less lives were ended prematurely or ruined by illness?
There is one reason, and one reason only why a person would prefer coal to nuclear; a profound ignorance or both and a willingness to make absolute declarations without knowing the facts.
@finallykickinback "As long as there is ANY toxic waste I want no part of it."
You're opposed to all current power generation technologies then. Not to mention the consumer goods you use. Power generated without waste is currently, and for the foreseeable future, a fantasy.
Please at least consider finding out what the things you decry actually are.
@finallykickinback It is safe if it is properly designed with the proper fail safes. It is also clean, it works the same as as a coal burning power plant, the only difference is that it uses nuclear fission, which is entirely clean, to generate steam to turn the turbines that generate the power. At the moment we can only store the nuclear waste until its radiation lowers to a safe level. Instead of not using it at all, we should find ways to improve it, as it is still better then other means.
Made in Japan, designed by Americans. I'm not bashing America, just stating a fact that you probably aren't aware of although it won't change your racist and ignorant mind. Why do I bother? Because I'm pissed off. Because man is dumb. Because man is cancer to all life on the planet. Good fucking riddance to the so-called most intelligent species on the planet.
You want the answer? It was a concentrated ATTACK of: Stuxnet, induced earthquake made by HAARP (followed with tha small range tsunami), and smoking gun. All of these were proved. The evidences are ABSOLUTELY clear. Yet - almost noone talks about it. And people eat media bullshits.
And now EDF want to build new reactors in Britain... They say we don't have earthquakes like that here... Well they didn't have earthquakes like that there either until it happened... If you are opposed to nuclear power then and have a contract with EDF then it's time to change supplier...
@SteveAstronaut "Well they didn't have earthquakes like that there either until it happened"
Um, yes they do. The area is famous for it. When the plant was designed scientists are on public record as saying a tsunami or quake beyond the (quite low) design basis would be catastrophic.
But the bosses and their politician friends chose not to listen.
Furthermore, an advanced closed cycle (that has already been proven and tested in the last century such as LFTR or IFR) will spit out at least 50 times less wastes (and since so efficient, that waste decays back down to safe as lead levels in about 1,000ths the time as conventional LWR wastes).
Had it been a reactor design that uses molten salt, there would be no need for the hundreds of air pressures needed to keep water, its so called safety deal, from turning into steam and then, explosive hydrogen.
Or had it been one of the hundreds of other low pressure designs like molten metal.
Search WHY "they" killed LFTR, and the IFR... It's a hard find!
Had the Fukushima power plant NOT been Nuclear Fission, but instead Star Scientific's Muon Catalysed Fusion NONE of this tragic disaster could have happened.
According to the website of Star Scientific Limited:
"Unlike current fission nuclear reactors, there are no fissionable materials used to generate energy through muon catalysed fusion - so there is no possibility of an accident, leak or meltdown."
See also their Youtube video "In the Footsteps of Fusion"
@CrossMultiplication I think same of you but, I wish stop the dangerous nuclear power plant not only Japan all around the world. Because nuclear power plant accident has no border area or country.
@CrossMultiplication come on. in the 60's, japan experienced 10,000 times higher radiation because of nuclear experiments done world wide. it was 10 times higher than Fukushima disaster. one nuclear experiment done in the air much more severely pollute the air, because it releases nuclear material directly into the air.
"We are innocent because we did it before anyone realized it"
@jjsakuraiii You're burning the planet up in the name of dumb-arse progress. Why do you need over 50 nuclear power plants to supply a fraction of your power requirement? You're filing up the world with excessive shit like mobile phones. The craze of having the latest thing due to marketing, brand, stakeholders and shareholders, etc. is just making people angry and unhappy. The next Japanese tourist I see with phones and cameras and shit is getting it
@FutiKuti2011 With less demand for power by stupid people buying electric knifes to cut food, dishwashers to wash a few plates, outdoor garden heaters, crap and more crap there wouldn't be a need for nuclear power. Governments should own their country's power stations, the price of power should be high and all profit should go towards green power design, quality house design, better clothing and better food..... no borders, no flags, no race, limits on wealth, more care and generosity of time.

Coolant-shmoolant... I know how to fix this once and for all. Here's how: don't use fuel rods, but fuel blobs. This way when the damn thing melts, nothing happens. The fuel blobs will signal the new atomic age. :))
@trapskeetfly its not local at all maybe its part of the reason mainstream news tell us FA about it yet this is the most important issue of our times some reports of u tube said Northen Japan could become unihapitable n that japan in some parts sunk 5 meters that over 16 foot
Not just Sellafield & Fukushima, we have a full media blackout. It is the fact that Chinese nuclear tests (over 40 times since 1964) killed about 190000 Uighurs and made 1290000 Uighurs suffer from diseases. Those citizens died without receiving apporopriate medical treatment at all. (later China invaded Uighurs and Tibetans) Responding to Japan's crisis, i think we should be aware of these facts of suffering residents near Nuclear test sites all over the world.

Gov. members, representatives, media, etc. etc. including the links until sanity and reason get the upper hand over witlessness and ignorance! But be patiently, it may need some hundred years as history teaches ...
I really hope this disaster doesn't cause everyone to abandon Nuclear Energy. Though with Germany's recent (retarded) announcement of closing down ALL nuclear reactors by 2022, my hopes will likely come crashing down...
@giantrobots1122 couldn't agree with you more - it took the 5th largest recorded earthquake, combined with poor safety measures to produce this outcome.
nuclear power is the best way to minimise greenhouse gas emissions in the medium term, and Germany's getting rid of it altogether - silly decision.
@kitt998 I hate to say it, but things could've turned out worse. The last time the germans had a lapse of judgement and went plain crazy, it was some 60+ years ago....

Yukiya Amano is a completely passive ersatz head of an inefficient UN department. He can barely understand English and yet publicly tries to mask his inability as in the following bogus rehearsed interaction with his colleagues: youtube.com/watch?v=YqiWVO6FNg0&feature=relmfu.They have done nothing but compile facts already released by world news agencies who have reporters in situ. He and his organisation have no power of intervention, are not impartial and should not be trusted in the least.
In all of a Japan there wasn't a generator they could have put on the job to cool the rods? They could have used car batteries and a grid tie inverter. This dumbed down excuse of an explanation is horsesh*t. Actually horsesh*t probably has greater value. Why didn't they BREAK the critical mass? Why didn't they scoop the critical mass puddle into iron cups to separate it, thus break the critical mass? This BS excuse is damnable. Prosecution for crimes against humanity is minimally appropriate.
@RVBJohn I'd go. I'd suit up in a few millimeters of lead though. Go figure all the Physicists in Japan working at the nuclear power plants are either treasonous or morons. I just ordered some lead sheet to make a suit for home use, now that Fukushima spewed the whole damn planet. Beyond that, it wasn't even necessary to go in the reactor, they could lead suit spray the thing down with boron, then spray it with a water sand slurry, then spray it with concrete.
@danielvincentkelley Its still leaking water underneath into the ground water though. They would also have to find a way of digging under the plant and creating a second 'floor' to stop the molten slag from carrying on down into the ground water.. But hey, don't worry, did you hear they had a great idea of covering the plants with polyester tents. (!)
@Dreadnaughtos There is no way they would have made all of these nuclear plants if there was even a chance of war... the powers that be have created war no more than drama for you and me.
@Dreadnaughtos I hadn't heard about the tents plan. Just more of their being very bold about being clueless. It'd probably be better than having the raging nuke fire open to the air for 6 months... Like their original plan. If they just dumped as much concrete in there as their pool of nuke melt down water requires to solidify, it seems that would take care of the ground water leak.
Apparently, for the multibillion dollar per year nuclear industry, there is no minimum of preparation to satisfy their murderous agenda. They not only are apparently planet wide wholly unprepared to battle a nuke melt down, they're prepared to do the OPPOSITE of what would be helpful, for example pretending there are no functioning batteries in all of Fukushima Japan, nobody in the nuke industry knows what a grid tie inverter is, helicopter dropping corroding sea water on nuke melt, ridiculous
What's more is, I haven't seen any realistic explanation to explain the "hydrogen" explosion that occurred. Numerous scientists are on record as saying it was obviously a nuclear explosion, not a hydrogen explosion. A nuclear explosion doesn't occur merely by an explosion in the presence of nuclear material, but the material must be collapsed together in a critical mass. So, the multiple explosions that occurred are highly suspicious. Mostly this nuke war is on the ocean, thus our oxygen.
"A reactor is in cold shutdown when, in addition, its coolant system is at atmospheric pressure and at a temperature below 200 degrees Fahrenheit (approx. 95 degrees Celsius..." wikipedia org/wiki/Shutdown_(nuclear_reactor)
after the sea water is pumped into cover the reactor, does it adaquatly cool it down without haveing to add more water? if not then put in a super cooling substance, like fire extingisher substance, or liquid nitrogen. you could use the robots to deliver the water, or super cooling substance to the destination. what type of coolants were sapose to be used in the 3 emergency cooling systems.
@nicesocialgirl fire extinguisher "substance" i think your are thinking of is carbon dioxide and is not meant to cool a fire, but starve it of oxygen... and liquid nitrogen would violently evaporate and breach the cooling system. thats unfortunately how Chernobyl happened :(
I am willing to serve you with potassium iodide pills. Each one is 130mg and costs only 30 cents. Special deal for you: buy 100 pills and pay only 27$ with free shipping to USA (shipping worldwide). 10% helps Japan. Send PMs with quantities and shipment addresses. Wish you all the best.
@TrousersDPM No, that would not stop the radioactive isotopes(I think that's correct) leaking out. They don't react to any temperature changes. if it's +1000 or -1000
I still find it ironic that a nuclear power plant had a melt down because of a power outage... I guess it has no way of providing its own power directly, and must go through the grid first.
@gaxxag As explained in the video; the water must of leaked out somewhere... fission was still occurring in the reactors, therefore, they melted, creating a half-meltdown.
Does this reactor has a positive void coefficient of reactivity? Only in this case chain reaction can continue without water. I thought the commercial reactors with a positive coefficient are banned after Chernobyl accident.
"I thought the commercial reactors with a positive coefficient are banned after Chernobyl accident."
Fukushima reactors were built and activated way before Chernobyl disaster so I assume that "banning" them(if there ever was such thing) meant that it was strongly advised NOT to build any new reactors of this type. Btw, Russia still has 3 NPPs with RBMK-class(Chernobyl) reactors operational, they are in Kursk, Smolensk and Saint Petersburg(Leningrad) - I would worry about these first.
(Part2)This is the first time that France, the world's second largest operator of nuclear plants, has dispatched experts to Japan since the Fukushima reactors were damaged by the March 11th quake and tsunami.
Also the U.S experts have helped the nuclear plants fixed by Tunamis. Don’t give up! France, the U.S and Japan!
(Part1)France says it will send three more nuclear experts to Japan to help remove highly radioactive water from the troubled power plant.
Two other French experts are already in Japan and are holding talks with the plant operator, Tokyo Electric Power Company. The five are from French-based Areva, one of the world's biggest nuclear energy firms.
They will help to remove the polluted water that is hampering efforts to restore the plant's cooling functions.
IMO I think that now is the time to put the Honda Asimo to good use. They should send the robot to the most dangerous place within the reactor to fix it.
Hey, ryelor-homo, who the fuck is talking about critical mass? Except for the "critical" mass of semi-digested Cheetos in your colon.
Um, you left-wing, science-in-lieu-of-religion butthole, the last time anybody showing signs of consciousness knew anything, melting masses of enriched uranium and the fucking pools of water spilling away from them were grounds for concern.
Go back to your computer. Are you STILL in you underwear? In your mom's basement?
The only thing they really knew was to get out of there as fast as possible when, ironically, their power supply was interrupted by the Tsunami. Nuclear power plants must be kept cool forever. Did you here me? FOREVER
This is unacceptable. It is not responsible. Nuclear power is a result of massive short term profit for contractors and immoral engineers who have always mislead the public about the risk associated with Nuclear Power.
The "experts" running this show knew everything before the catastrophe. They had all the answers and told us not to worry. Now they can't even answer a single question: Where is the radioactive water leaking from? Don't know. What will be the total impact? Don't know. How long will the area be uninhabitable? Don't know.
Critical mass is lost during a partial meltdown. You might as well get over the fact that the china syndrome is inaccurate. Unless you lost all coolent at once, the core would slowly loose mass as it melts to the bottom of the containment. Also, radioactive iodine and other contaminants have a very short half life and have been shown to be far less dangerous than many would have you believe. People, quit judging future technology on the follies of obsolete junk.
Something here just doesn't add up. Something is REEAAAAll fishy about all these failures. Now if you paid close attention the speaker said that the diesel generator failed BEFORE the tsunami hit then he says that they believed that the tsunami caused the failure....Well which one is it?? the tsunami or it failed on its own? I don't know but this seems real odd to me.
@denny164l In case you didn't know, the Tsunami actually hit the coast of Fukushima, Iwate, and Miyagi prefecture 15-30 minutes after the quake. That should have been explained in the video but it was left out. However, The narrator clearly said around the time the generator stopped the Tsunami also came in. The generator stopped when the Tsunami hit the plant. He never said "before". Please don't change the script.
They should have given additional safety features like pressure relief dampers or pressure surge dampers along with HEPA filteration for the worst scenario of contaminated air escaping from the chamber. If pressure builtup was avoided in this case then we could have limited the radiation leakage to a much lower level or even to zero level.

It is now well established that the 3 reactors melted down as a result of the earthquake itself. The 3 core melt through's resulted in one nuclear explosion at reactor 3 which also blew over 600,000 .38slug sized plutonium pellets up to 2 miles away. the radiation readings are off the scale today, even south of Tokyo but you'll have to research that because public TV isn't telling you the truth.

@finallykickinback " no way to dispose of toxic waste" Don't need to dispose of most of it. The more radioactive the so-called waste is the more suitable it is as a fuel. If the laws bought by the uranium mining lobby were changed to allow reprocessing, there would be no high level waste.

Please at least consider finding out what the things you decry actually are.
ImMichaelTaylor 4 months ago
@finallykickinback It is safe if it is properly designed with the proper fail safes. It is also clean, it works the same as as a coal burning power plant, the only difference is that it uses nuclear fission, which is entirely clean, to generate steam to turn the turbines that generate the power. At the moment we can only store the nuclear waste until its radiation lowers to a safe level. Instead of not using it at all, we should find ways to improve it, as it is still better then other means.

What's more is, I haven't seen any realistic explanation to explain the "hydrogen" explosion that occurred. Numerous scientists are on record as saying it was obviously a nuclear explosion, not a hydrogen explosion. A nuclear explosion doesn't occur merely by an explosion in the presence of nuclear material, but the material must be collapsed together in a critical mass. So, the multiple explosions that occurred are highly suspicious. Mostly this nuke war is on the ocean, thus our oxygen.

Unless you lost all coolent at once, the core would slowly loose mass as it melts to the bottom of the containment. Also, radioactive iodine and other contaminants have a very short half life and have been shown to be far less dangerous than many would have you believe. People, quit judging future technology on the follies of obsolete junk.

Something here just doesn't add up. Something is REEAAAAll fishy about all these failures. Now if you paid close attention the speaker said that the diesel generator failed BEFORE the tsunami hit then he says that they believed that the tsunami caused the failure....Well which one is it?? the tsunami or it failed on its own? I don't know but this seems real odd to me.

@denny164l In case you didn't know, the Tsunami actually hit the coast of Fukushima, Iwate, and Miyagi prefecture 15-30 minutes after the quake. That should have been explained in the video but it was left out. However, The narrator clearly said around the time the generator stopped the Tsunami also came in. The generator stopped when the Tsunami hit the plant. He never said "before". Please don't change the script.
