Hartmann: Fukushima...Has the China Syndrome now officially begun?

Paul Gunter, Beyond Nuclear joins Thom Hartmann. The crisis at Fukushima continues. Over the weekend - the crippled Japanese nuclear plant spewed even more highly radioactive water into the Pacific Ocean - roughly 45,000 liters in all. According to a French nuclear research institute - since the Fukushima nuclear crisis began in March - the plant has leaked more radioactive material into the ocean than has ever happened before in the history of the planet. And he claims that after more than 8 months since an earthquake and tsunami triggered this crisis - it's inevitable that nuclear fuel has leaked into the groundwater - meaning the "China Syndrome" is officially upon us. He also warned that if underground water gets overheated - it could trigger a hydrovolcanic explosion. So what does all this mean? Time to ditch nuclear power - the most expensive and dangerous form of energy on Earth.

"Another 45,000 litres of highly radioactive water leaked into the Pacific Ocean over the weekend."

What?

C'mon. This must be a bad joke!! I read my local newspaper. I watch Fox and CNN and ABC and CBS and NBC regularly. I log on to Drudge and read the NY Times and Wall Street Journal! I listen to Rush!!!

How come I've not heard of this? Last I knew, the radiation was minimal and all was good.

It must be a joke. NO WAY WE'RE DECEIVED BY OUR MEDIA IN THE US, RIGHT?????????????????

Fukushima kinda makes you forget about BP's giant fuck-up doesn't it?

[SnugglePuma]

Ha! RT brings out the "Experts". China syndrome is a discredited theory by modern nuclear physicists. Relax people, you weren't going to live forever anyway...

"Has leaked more radioactive material that in the history of the planet?"

Utter, raving bullshit! Untold trillions and trillions of tons of radioactive minerals have eroded into the ocean over the years. According to Wiki, the world's oceans curently hold about 100 billion tons of uranium alone.

Fore sure we wont eat alaska crab or any food from pacific ocean. All the fish farms... Later will be the cows bringing the milk very bad for heath everywhere. Potatoes and all the vaggies from in the grownd, fresh water lakes in mountains no more good to drink... etc slowly but surely and nothing from major media !

[Sabinovitchcam]

All TV reporters who tried to diminish the consequences are told to not tell the truth. We will get it sooner or later but it is for sure. If you are carefull you will take the advantage that it is not on the major madia for now but when it will happen it will be probably too late to buy a counter and had very good understandings of whats is comming to the planet and to the people.

Reactor #1 had officially a meltdown the same day of the tsunami and the 2 others reactors #2 and #3 had officially a meltdown the 24 of mars. The reactor #4 had it's cooling pool blown up and the reactor seem to be going down like the 3 others. The thing is the pool is more radioactive because it is the depleted plutonium not reusable in the reactor. It mean the MOST radioactive shit of this building had been blown up in the air all around.

Talk about putting sunday's earthquake at fukushima and high radiation releases on the Sun's back....Solar flare..an historic solar flare...!?yep the suns is one of the most known natural source of radiation by the population after mountains or dental xrays....what about talking a bit on that...Thnks for your nuclear work from fans in Canada

[malifick]

@boattrainpaddy because you listen to the wrong sources. all those fucking media outlets are run by the same people. and they are a psyop. if you have not realized that before.. well then "YOU ARE AN IDIOT"
