  • There are 23 working nuclear generators of the same type in the US. How scary is that? Some of them without backup power to keep the reactors cool should they lose their main power. Do you really think you're safe?

    

  • And now they are planning to re-start this plant!!!

  • This catastrophe is the result of the criminal incompetence of "throw away society" idiots who designed unsafe nuclear time-bomb reactors without self supporting thermocouple heat-to-electricity battery-elements, vainly electing instead to rely upon unreliable external power to cool them down and likewise fail to store the nuclear fuel safely inside thermocouple heat-to-electricity "racks" that would function as self-supporting "nuclear batteries" to power their own cooling services (pumps).

  • I would like to help you. Have lots of Potassium Iodide 130mg pills at 30 cents each. US shipment is 8 dollars no matter how many you order. 10% from selling goes to Japan so I think it is not bad I am announcing here. Please provide your needs and shipment details via private message. Have some background in field of nucclear physics (technical university lectures). Will gladly answer your questions. Take care:)

  • However another Rokkasho reprocessing plant and uranium enrichment facility in Aomori Prefecture to lose off-site power

  • Wasserman received a Bachelor of Arts in American History from the University of Michigan in 1967

  • Its cruel what happened in Japan. We want to help but its difficult to say what every single person can do. I spend money and i hope that they use it reasonable. Japan we wish you best of luck from Germany

  • Thanks so much, RT. it's not easy to get these info here in Tokyo.. the govt, tepco and medias are related each others and so hard to know the situation. Thanks, once again. Japanese authority informed us "radiation levels haven't shown any changes, at all.." which i can't trust too much.. perhaps i should leave Tokyo if the situation gets worse. please air more infos, please.

  • 3:08

    why did homes start to escape?

    be brave, it's only a tsunami :|

  • RIP Japan.

    u were a real inspiring country.

    u will remain in our hearts for ever.

    god bless ur soull

  • On a brighter note. Will Scott Brown run for President? Can't be worse than the majority of these comments.

  • she is so hot!

  • @wolfgang8u she is causing me to have a melt down : )

  • What the hell happened to the news on this? No more footage? No evacuation area? Its been a week, since the last report on this, I know Fukushima is bad, but the fire at Onafawa was huge!

  • 50 plus unit nuclear plant in Japan.... if all damage.. i kill whole world ppl...

    

  • MAN THAT SUCKS GOOD LUCK JAPAN

  • It is unfortunate that they rely so heavily on nuclear power. However, they have no resources and the only ways to produce large-scale electricity economically are by burning coal or going nuclear.

    I'm not sure how a country could "import" electricity as one poster suggested, but if you are proposing they run an underground cable to another country I would guess it is not viable for many reasons (cost, distance, reliability).

    Anyway, it's very sad and my heart goes out to these people.

  • Why the fuck...build a Nuclear Plant in the most earthquake country in the world.Why,don't they use wind turbines,water,or even import electricity?

    If my sons grows another arm,i'm off to Japan to do some shooting!

  • why...why...why?? this nuclear going to malaysia?

  • Japan along with them Japanese are in my prayers..

  • What happened to this reactor? 700 times over normal limits of radiation is really really bad. Yet I haven't heard it mentioned since this video like four days ago. Strange.

  • I can't watch these RT vids with that woman doing the interview, I'm not sure what it is but she is somehow horrendous with her privileged-class accent and airhead delivery. I don't need to see a sex goddess to get the news so get it straight RT before you become another Fox News.

  • @WisenedGnome what do you mean IF it explodes???

    Didn't see that mushroom?

    Where d'you think they store the waste???

    right ................

    in the building that went up.

    people are really calm about this....

    just wait a couple of days....

  • Yesterday Chernobyl, now Japan. Tomorrow the whole world. The radioactive ground will be greater and the places where life is possible will be smaller. And one day theres no living creature on earth anymore, because of power???? The people 300 years ago of wich we can say, they were more primitive than us, would laugh at us. The probably would say. We have technology to conquer whole countries. But you guys you got the technology to eliminate every single live on earth.Thats to big for us, mate.

  • i heard counties are rejecting steel deliveries from japan,due to fear of radiation.are new cars from this country going to be equipped with geiger counters.

  • @ROTTIWORLD No, but they will glow in the dark. ; ^ )

  • Evacuate The Multitudes!!!...Bring Them To Safer Shelters--off of the island!!!. Japan; is totaly in The Red Zone!!! Government Leaders Of Nations Need To Step Forward & Send In Military Ships & Aircrafts To Evacuate & Care For These People!!! Do Not Turn Your Back Against These Beautiful People!!! You Cannot Wash Your Hands Of Mankind's Responsibility To These People!!!

  • lesson for Japan? Too much to pay.

  • NO to Nuclear power, it is something we cant control . I fault we learned our lesson with Chernobyl but no we keep using it and if the country that have the most advance technologies cant do anything about it who can ? Nuclear power plant cost billions, i wish we could use the money in solar, turbine and other renouable energies.But i guess it is hard to charge $ for wind and sun, so no money to be made on a long run...The greed of Money will be the cause of the collapse of this civilization.

  • Then say "yes" to what? You liberals honk all day about Republicans being " the Party of 'no' ", but your bumper sticker slogans are no substitute for rational thought.

    Fuckballs.

    That radioactive cloud will drift over California by Saturday. Have you buttholes taken your iodine as I suggested???

    "Uh, WINNING!!!"

  • 2012 is coming.This is only the beggining :D And we didn't beiveve so called ''false and shitty thought and alarm"

  • Say NO to nuclear energy!!!

  • If we all had enough power for our own houses we would not need nuclear power stations.

  • This is crazy I know. What if they put a nuke in a bunker buster and dropped it on the reactors in Japan. The bunker buster is dropped from 5 miles up and penetrates deep into the earth. They could use a cavitation bomb, conventional or nuclear.

  • May God have mercy on them all. We love you Japan. You are in our prayers.

  • The only way to be prepared for something like this is to know the truth about life. Search Truth Contest in google, and click on the first result. On the homepage, read The Present.

  • Good decision by Russia Today to concentrate on hiring pretty English chicks to present their news. Also, I thought this was a far more enlightening report than any of the cbs/pbs/abc/fox reports with so-called 'experts' that I've seen.

  • Is he for real..what now

  • Amazing earthquake statistics and predictions: WORLD-EARTHQUAKES . COM

  • I wonder Tokyo's radiation value is higher and higher...here

    gorocro.com/

  • Why... why....why....

    Why did they build nuclear power plants right on the edge of ring of fire???

  • @FreshPofBellaireTX Stupidity.

  • @FreshPofBellaireTX population control

  • @FreshPofBellaireTX

    I think it's something to do with minds.

  • @FreshPofBellaireTX cause everyone was too busy watching tv and texting to care.what sux is since this has happened have you known anyone to buy a solar panel? i ask this q because it shows how no one still cares cause if you dont buy solar you cause this by forceing them to build them then go back to texting and they build them where they want,food for thought

  • Hey - dumbshits who bash solar and wind: nothing shits out returns for the investment like solar and wind. The pitiful amount of fossil fuels spent to build solar and wind infrastructure is earned back within a year. Unlike nuclear - which is NEVER, when one factors in all the accidents and cost overruns.

    YOU nyukes pay with YOUR taxes for all the capital and environmental costs of nuclear, coal, gas, oil. Let mankind move forward with wind and solar.

  • @mphello You are wrong..... I will make it simple..... Nuclear is the cheapest most effecient energy source by ALOT. . . Japan got 25% population without power yet. So THAT is the main priority before investing in getting the right form of energy (wind and solar). . . . Ofc. they dont calculate a accident when building nuclear reactors.

  • @mikethk Making a lie "simple" doesn't make it any less of a lie. Nuclear is the most heavily subsidized and expensive source of energy when ALL factors are included: i.e. higher TAXES to clean up disasters like this, health effects, including what one pays directly to the utility. Check out Atlantic County Utility Authority wind farm.

  • @mikethk

    Incorrect. Nuclear energy is very inefficient at about 20%. It is also costly to both build and decommission the plants. There are also no easy solutions for storage of highly radioactive spent fuel nor is there a fool proof plan to safeguard against natural disasters of this magnitude or against human error.

  • @mikethk hec of a way to boil water

  • @doh1959, would it turn you on if I said, "wanna FUCK me??!!"

    Come to my channel....

  • This Is the weirdest Annoying Orange video so far.

    Uh, directory assistance operator, would you give me the number for 9-1-1?

    Perhaps the best thing about ingesting radioactive cesium, strontium and iodine is that you don't have to shave everyday (allopecia), in addition to the fact that you GLOW, so now you can read the New York Times on the toilet IN THE DARK! COOL!

    "Uh, WINNING!!!!"

  • Well here we go AGAIN!. A whole new generation of ANTI nuclear power morons to stop human progress AGAIN!. Just about the entire U.S. naval fleet is nuclear powered. Hope all you ANTI's like all the WARS and casualties over OIL control. So burn a billion barrels of oil building WINDMILLS and SOLAR panels. Just to get a half a billion barrels of energy out of those so called GREEN energy systems. Nuclear is the greatest achievement of man. If we can just get the RETARDS out of the way!

  • @dorksayswhat

    Do the world a favor and go have a seat somewhere near the Fukushima plant you degenerate dipshit.

  • @Son37Lumiere Wow! Now that pretty tough stuff. Soon we are going to flush all you little turds and MANKIND will move forward. Yep.... its a comming!

  • @dorksayswhat

    Make sense dimwit. Go blast yourself with some of that "greatest achievement of man" and get sterile.

  • @ Son37Lumiere How about I just plant my fist up your ass. FAG! I am glad your HOMO ass can't procreate. HA HA HA HA HA! Feces and sperm can't procreate. Douche bag! It's call a fag malt!

  • @dorksayswhat

    You sure seem obsessed with homoerotica. Don't project your fantasies onto me.

    How's it feel having the IQ of a tomato? Oh I forgot, ignorance is bliss.

  • wow at .47 seconds she turns into a duck

  • sorta turns me on when she sais FUCKishima

  • stupid fucking people. first the dump mercury in the water and poison all the fish i there water. now this? these people will be the death of us all

  • Thank you, someone who finally talked about the SPENT FUEL also posing a danger. I would like to see a daily chart of ALL radiated articles, both from the plant (steam clouds) and spent fuel (by-products) particles levels, their half-life and a daily color coded risk factor. If our ships are i the area, cant we publish these levels to ensure public awareness and safety.

  • @CORPARANOID belive me the us govt. knows exactly (but ain't tellin') tends to panic US. right now U2 jets and predator drones are being specially outfitted with sensors to detect whooziswhatsis over the pacicfic ocean and later over US. this fleet of planes will fly nonstop at all altitudes monitoring all radioactive clouds progression.

    fallout will occur here in varying amounts especially heavy where its raining like the west coast of us.the wont tell the american people at large though...

  • Text REDCROSS to 90999 to send a $10 donation to Japan.

  • @agenthelios1 a large number of nuclear weapons or a large number of nuclear power plants must be detonated if their is a nuclear winter.

  • mother, do you think they'll light the sun? - pink floyd

  • stone knives and bearskins... only they ain't got no bears and the rocks are glowing!

  • I wouldnt be surprised if theJpanes government came out a week from now saying that "magical radiation loving microbes" absobed all the radiation and its all better now.

    Same thing US government did in conjustcion woth BP lying and saying "magical oil loving microbes" ate the oil...its all better.

    Lies..Lies , and MORE LIES!

  • PREPARE FOR NUCLEAR WINTER!

    This is insane, All this goin on and that lazy bum Obama is playing basketball, and golf.

    I guess as log as the extremely wealthy (billionaires) have their undergjroundbunkers...to hell with us peasants!

  • @agenthelios1 YOU ARE A CUNT

  • no way..good job.. what is next for you

  • Wow, japan really doesnt deserve any more exposure to any more radiation after the 2 nukes at the end of world war two...People today are still feeling the effects from the 1945 radiation such as leukemia in infants. This really is a disaster.

    best wishes from canada.

  • Help Japan! Fuck nigger Haiti!!!!

  • Eh those Japanese. Not to worry. They will increase their population within 2 weeks, you know those asians.

  • @nikicpicha fucked up but lolol so true.

  • Sorry Harvey but your opinion on whether the plants should have been ever built is wrong, what other resource could japan utilize that is inexpensive? Solar and wind? Nope, mountainous region. Natural gas and oil? Nope, japan lacks that and it is expensive to import. stupid American biased S.O.B...

  • @mphello things like these are really questionable.

  • @leonerado completely agree with you

  • @scorpo8900 Im thinking a new chernobyl anyways. Perhaps in slightly lesser scale though.

  • @scorpo8900 define meltdown

  • to je strasne prijebana moderatorka mrka ocami ako postihnuta

  • lolwut?

  • japan uninhabitable within 30 days.

  • Looks to me like this is another non-expert expert with no real expertise in nuclear engineering, but instead a very specific agenda to promote competing forms of energy production. Halfway through and I've already counted a half-dozen misleading or just plain wrong statements, and the rest of what he has to say is nothing more than you're getting from Associated Press. Caveat Emptor

  • Interesting thing about uranium...its quiet naturally all over the place (unrefined). We find lots here in California...

  • I think this report is old. The IAEA said its under control now.

  • Anyone else feel like want to slap her in the face poke her eyes and bite her lips, or it's just me... :/

  • Why build these nuclear plants? Obama, and these political fools talk about saving the environment even though this is one way to poison it yet they want the nuclear plants. It is also stupid to build these things on earthquake faults, and in the path of possible tsunamis. If they want population control then I hope that the people who want, and build these plants get a dose of the radiation. Sorry I should forgive but it is hard to forgive people who want these stupid plants that harm people.

  • @Retro80Lady30

    "Why build these nuclear plants"

    Because we need energy.

    "If they want population control then I hope that the people who want, and build these plants get a dose of the radiation. "

    You never heard of backround radiation? Only way to be "safe" from radiation is to die.

    "but it is hard to forgive people who want these stupid plants that harm people."

    We need energy. Only other good (realistic) sources for enrgy are coal and oil.... and somehow I doubt you like those.

  • Iodine pill manufacturers will raking be it in. They will be the next millionaires if all six reactors meltdown! The news reports say that there are 50 to 70 TONS of radioactive material in each reactor. Is that true?

  • @angelialvares i heard 80 to 90 tons of MOX fuel each 50%plutonium oxide.

  • @angelialvares Don't support the manufacturers! Potassium hydroxide + Iodine = Potassium Iodide! REALLY EASY TO SYNTH GUYS CHECK IT OUT!

  • my god i hate these put on anchor voices talk normally

  • and they're expecting aftershocks this week that could be 7.0 on the richter scale..

  • It is just a matter of time before Terrorist Inciter Grave Funeral Stomper Mr Fred Phelps of the Westboro Cult Church starts making his disgusting videos posted on You Tube about the incidents in Japan.

    This is the freedom of content speech what I hate most about You Tube!!!!!!

  • go a head let them lie there ass off when the freaking nips go completely underwater it will solve all our problems but dont worry the usa will bail there usless asses out of trouble again even after the assholes attacked us a pearl harbor we should be laughing our asses off!

  • @snuffygr You know you are an evil sick thinking person like many other people posting comments on You Tube. Go bend down and worship your heroes Rush Limbaugh & Bill O'Reilly. You can also join Mel Gibson too.

  • We will learn how to make better Nuclear facilities as a result of this. I worry more about the fallout of Japan collapsing economically.

  • @TerrierToughGuy the problem is we are still building nuke facilities, we use hazardous and lethally poisonus material because its better for the environment??? How if a faciltiy leaks and it kills, mutates and mames everything around it are you wanting to build it better? mother nature can destroy anything and thats a fact so if there is potential that a leak will kill thousands you probably shouldnt use that material for power. But you are right they didnt need this with the economy how it is

  • Just saw two Japanese men on the news attempting to rescue a dog from the flood waters.

    Then I realized the dog was trying to escape.

  • time to get the old pipboy out =D okay but seriously the radiation from these arent going to affect us that bad.

  • they should ask Specter man..or Jet Jaguar...or Godzilla to give em a hand

  • @scorpo8900 heres real: a reactor core meltdown differs from a nuclear weapons detonation:. a meltdown melts like ice-cream slowly releasing its fission products( like gas and isotopes) over time as the fuel rods meltdown into the bottom of the reactor vessel becoming a white hot magma like slug of 4400+ degree. cutting torch that melts thru bottom of anything into bedrock then ground water. making geysers of steam and dust popping out of the ground like old faithful x10. (meltdown) to china.

  • @intrptr The "China Sydrome" effect wouldn't happen though in reality. Keep in mind that this plant, like many others, have containment vessels for that very reason. And the fact that a 40 year old plant can still contain such a powerful substance even when all the backups have failed...just goes to show you how much thought and dedication was put in by the men and women working there.

  • @Cplblue china syndrome is a hollywood movie. refers to phenom of uncontrolled burn of fuel mass as it melts

    DOWN to china. remember dig a hole to china? uncontrolled chain reaction will fizzle out and stop once fissionable materials have been exhausted leaving a slug looking grey metallic lump or worm of still hot but no longer molten hi temp mass.refer to pics of chernobyl slug when it finaly stopped in sub basement below reactor

    vessel. vessel in japan is 5" of stainless steel. wont hold melt

  • Comment removed

  • luv ur reference to fat man-lil' boy... make no mistake about why this might be happening; it is man's pride and ambition of technology and accomplishments that has wrought this dire debacle. (soon to be) our ambition and competition to be the best, the first, the biggest has resulted in what we call civilization which in this case is neither civil civilized. god for give mans inhumanity to man and our world.

  • Can i donate a "little boy"? Maybe a "fat man" lol

  • We are all screwed, 6 meltdowns!?! :S

  • Gosh this is some scary stuff!! :|

  • fuck me

    11:11

  • I apologize to everyone else about these silly arguments, we should be on here educating ourselves about the tragedy in Japan. They have been devastated and I hope they can recover.

  • @Trotterpercussion i'll educate you... intrprtr has been watching all the news reports and knows who's been lying or good, naughty or nice. The third containment just blew at "Fuck US (hima)... expect all four at this complex to go initially before each core either partialy or completely melts down compromising each reactor vessel in turn. look for additional explosions or heavy steam smoke releases from already damaged buildings.

    signifying core vessel breach.

  • To get an anti nuclear activist like Harvey Wasserman to scaremonger and comment on this is irresponsible and shameful - and most of the idiots below should be ashamed - bickering and speculating at such a tragic and devastating state of affairs

  • @tinytuco

    That must make you an ignorant, naive pro-nuclear activist.

  • @Son37Lumiere Not at all - its like asking a vegetarian to comment on fillet steak..

    And your exactly one of the morons i was talking about. - browsing the internet looking for fights and hating.

    Trot on

  • @tinytuco "YOU'RE exactly one..."  if you're going to invalidate your own argument about "fights and hating" by calling the poster a moron, at least get your spelling and grammar right :)

  • @dieselfeet I see - have a go at a typo... Very very mature.... Grow up you impotent little boy

  • @tinytuco oh dear! now, if I'm reading this correctly, your response to me pointing out that you invalidated your original argument about people browsing the internet "looking for for fights and hating", is to insult me, someone you've never met ?- clearly an inflammatory and hateful statement that sounds like double standards to me.

  • Comment removed

  • @tinytuco

    Before calling someone a moron and yelling fake, maybe you should spend some time actually reading up on the situation, then you would know that reactor 3 has exceeded 400 mSv per hour, high radiation levels were detected after the explosions at the No. 2 and No. 4 reactors, the Tokyo metropolitan government said it has detected radioactive material, such as iodine and cesium, up to 40 times normal levels in Saitama, near Tokyo.

  • @tinytuco

    Iodine and cesium-137 means that the rods have at least partially melted down and are in the process of melting down in at least one reactor according to reports. The USS George Washington detected radiation 175 miles away.

    You do realize calling Harvey Wasserman a scaremonger for stating what's happening makes you both a hypocrite and a moron "looking for fights and hating" right?

  • to the people in japan our sympathy is always with you... radiation is worst than earthquake and tsunami for it could last for years... prayers for you Japanese

  • @candy25red Yes, radioactivity is a scary thing, but this is because people do not have a proper understanding of it. This nuclear accident is absolutely the least of Japan's worries right now. It is my speculation that there will not be a single radiation-related casualty from this accident. Compare that to the thousands caused by the quake and tsunami. It is also my speculation that this will not hault Japan's nuclear revolution. They'll build 3 plants for the 2 lost. America is overreacting.

  • @Coopsie3 you know what the russians learned from the chernobyl nuclear reactor accident ?  NOT TO BUILD ANY MORE NUCLEAR REACTORS!

  • @intrptr No the Russians (or Soviets at the time) learned not to use graphite to absorb excess neutrons while having not containment shield for any sort of melt down. Causing essentially a dirty bomb to go off. That's why these explosions at the power plant aren't coating the area in high levels of fatal radiation.

  • @Cplblue not yet . these things take time... first: scram. 2nd: pwr out interupted primary pumping of coolant water around still hot fuel rods.(like turning off your oven;takes time to cool.) boiling evap. of water in reactor vessel uncovers fuel rods which begin melting producing cesium and iodine and hydrogen among others. reactor vessel overpressure vented into containment cement building. hydrogen bubble builds for a while. backup diesel gens inop(tsunami) batteries work until depleted,

  • @intrptr coolant flow nowstopped again boiling water evaps around rods ever decreasing water level exposing more and more rod bundles which heat up and melt falling to bottom of reactor vessel building pressure in vessel which is vented out of reactor vessel into cement containment building,building hydrogen pressure slow and steady. up to this point all is working according to design. coolant movement thru core is stopped- water level is dropping from boiling into steam building pressure ,

  • @intrptr reactor vessel internal pressure is being vented into cment containment building . defeating cycle. unless coolant flow is restarted and the level is brought up to cover all remaining fuel rods completely right away

    the hydrogen bubble trapped inside the top of cement containment vessel (1,5 m thick) is going to detonate thus blowing top off reactor building which is exactly what has occurred to three of four so far in this complex of reactors. 4 is coming. these explosions ,

  • @intrptr have now limited if not totaly destroyed all the necessary mechanics within the concrete containment

    structure like pipes pumps electrical conduit,etc. preventing coolant flow from restarting ever. now the reactor vessel containing the fuel rods or core begins its final death rattle as it were; the remaining over heating fuel rods that have not melted ,dropping down into the bottom of the reactor vessel begin to boil away the remaining water and melt also -ever increasing internal

  • @intrptr vessel pressure (which is now being emergency vented to atmosphere direct as cement containment has failed- note video of No. 3 blowing white vapor.) now all water has evaporated and all that remains is 80 or 90 tons of fuel at bottom of reactor vessel in uncontrolled runaway chain reaction mass of burning fuel working on the bottom of vessel. either it will burn thru or defeat pressure limits of reactor vessel. either way bang very dirty bomb explosion raising drifting cloud of contam.

  • @scorpo8900 I never said I had a degree. Congratulations on your parents having degrees though you must be proud! Are there any more of your parents achievements you would like to brag about to make yourself seem smarter? Maybe the fact that they didn't abort you....which turned out to be a bad decision. You should work on not being such a hate monger.

  • Please dont fight on here... You guys are supposed to be supportive to these people.. I wish you can put half this time and help them a little bit.

  • @scorpo8900

    Don't stereotype, it makes you sound dumb, as does your horrible spelling and grammar.

  • @scorpo8900 You should probably do your research before you go all psycho teenager on people. Almost all forms of hydroelectric power plants require water storage (reservoirs). Even your underground hydroelectric plants in Canada utilize reservoirs. The only reason water flows down a river is snow melt. Snow doesn't melt in the winter, greatly reducing the amount of water flowing. Therefore, you need water storage and mass quantities of it for efficient hydroelectric power production.

  • Fuck you Japan. Get your shit together. The rest of the world must suffer because you want to build nuclear reactors on a earthquake epicenter? We should seal your entire country in a big ass dome.

  • @watkiada Shut up you fucking bitch. There is nuclear power plant built on the San Andreas fault in California. So shut up.

  • @skierdude95 Wow! That was completely false. Check your maps and try again fucktard. If your speaking of Diablo Canyon that's 100+ miles from San Andreas fault. There are only 2 active reactors in Cali. There are well over 70 in Japan. Considering California is bigger than Japan wtf were they thinking building a reactor every 300sq miles of their earthquake country? Because they are fucking morons just like skierdude95 :)

  • @watkiada Japan is a lot bigger than California. And for the record there is a reactor in San Clemente that is built right on top of the San Andreas fault. The population of that area: 7 million. The Fukushima plant is not in an area with a population that large.

  • Why is Russia Today broadcast in English?

  • @jdswiney because you touch yourself at night

  • @jdswiney so people in English speaking countries will watch

  • In the USA two partial meltdowns have occurred. 3 mile island and Fermi 1 in Detroit.

  • @bobzeda TMI (three mile island) had a hydrogen bubble as well but never exploded destroying reactor containment building. at that time scientists and engineers all breathed sigh of relief for having dodged a bullet,

    which they claimed would have led to the worst case scenario of a total meltdown. Now look at the destroyed containment buildings of reactors No. 1 & 2. Uh OH!!!!!!! Get ready,here it comes.

  • i didnt watch the video. could anyone tell me what happened in it?

  • I don't understand why their backup generators didn't come online. I used to work for AT&T, they have backup in all their central offices. When the commercial power is lost it causes a switch to be thrown or moved to a emergency position. This automatically starts the backup generators and brings them online.

  • @whiskeyify

    The gas generators failed when the tsunami flooded them. As yet, the reactor vessels have not been breached. The reactor vessels generally only fail under full meltdown. The large part of the building that blew up was not actually the fuel core. The water circulation system blew up from the extreme heat of the reactor core (and blew the roof off). The core in still in its containment unit. We will most likely see only a partial meltdown like in 3 mile Island.

  • @bobzeda Well I guess if your backup generators were damaged that explains it. I guess no one could foresee something like this happening. I wonder if here in the US if there won't be some safety inspections done at our plants to ensure anything like this happening. I live in California so this is earthquake country.

  • @bobzeda you going to believe nhk or your own lying eyes? look at video clip of No. 3 containment building explosion aftermath. white steam or smoke is visible at center top of where vessel would be located inside destroyed building. the containment building no.3 blew with much more force than no.1 as hydrogen bubble was far larger due to more elapsed time than no.1. the entire no.3 building blew instead of just top of no.1. now core is uncovering there and will melt down inevitably.

  • @whiskeyify backup diesel generators for all four reactors at fukishima complex No. 1 (where explosions ocurred ) were compromised by tsunami which inudated them all and clogged their intakes with debris. the battery backups were only good for 8 additional hours and at reduced pumping capacity. When they ran out of batteries for all four reactors, then coolant pumps stopped, rods began to heat up and boil away water thus slowly exposing fuel rods, initiating runaway chain reaction meltdown.

  • The media must be having a blast riding off of this whole "nuclear threat in Japan" situation aren't they. So many experts have already stated that a meltdown is extremely unlikely, and yet they insist that all hell is breaking loose. Grade A scare tactics right there.

  • @Juriello Would you rather not know about the possibilities and have an "Oh SHIT!" moment when the reactor has a melt down?

  • @MrKept4

    I would rather this not be the number 1 headline for almost four days and have this being bombarded at me when strolling through the news channels. Extremely unlikely is just that, EXTREMELY UNLIKELY. The scare tactics are getting old, so obvious they are using this issue as a way to detract from other things going on in the world.

  • @Juriello

    You honestly think some run of the mill typical bullshit war in Libya is more important than possible nuclear meltdowns?! Unbelievable.

  • @Son37Lumiere i totaly agree. the whole earthquake/tsunami everything pales in comparison to even one

    china syndrome event let alone six!
