Chernobyl vs. Fukushima w/ headlines update 1/28/12

John Large, a Nuclear Engineer discusses the differences between Chernobyl and Fukushima Daiichi. Keep in mind, Japan has already admitted to troubles at Fukushima Daini (a different nuclear plant very close to Fukushima Daiichi. We have No information other than government apologies at Fukushima Daini.
Doing a google earth search is difficult to tell what is going on because that whole are is such a Mess. Please refer to Fukushima update I posted dated 3/16/11 for that confirmation.
Partial Nuclear Meltdown NOW UNDERWAY in Japan !

Japan...stop the burning of radioactive wastes.....Now..dont burry it...piled it up on fukushima site in protective container under high monitoring surveillance...if it get to that point..cover the japanesse islands and create an aliance with a neihbooring country...create a new country on a safer land

Fukushima prefecture just going bad...

I always hit the like button even though these reports piss me off, how's about making some more gun porn vids, those always seem to brighten my day : )

[MsMilkytheclown]

@gregman909 as soon as the new AR15 arrives, I'll be sure to do that :) (thanks for the thumbs up... I think I told you YouTube permanently removed my thumb up button but for some reason I still have a down button.. WTF?) Bang bang... :)

Happy Saturday everyone.

@Alexandersaint1 really? Shoot spent fuel to the sun? Ok two problems strait away, any idea what it costs to sent a ton of payload to space? And that's just get it there let alone travel the millions of miles to the sun. Also plenty of spacecraft have blown up on there way up. A couple of tons of nuclear waste in the upper atmosphere no thanks.

@danielvincentkelley I agree that the gov officials, the IAEA and Tepco should all be prosecuted. Absolutely.

As should the bankers who engineered the bailouts in the US and any politician (or other public servant) in the USA that violates their oath of office.

@danielvincentkelley watch?v=yiCXb1Nhd1o at about 38 mins in it talks about the miners that dug the tunnel. At about 41 mins in you see a diagram of where they are digging to, directly under the reactor. They dug without protective clothing, one of the miners ingested a hot particles in his drink and died...its all in there, well worth a watch.

At Fukushima, my understanding (imperfect) is that proximity to the ocean and soil type prevents them from digging under it.

This way to send informations is the same as TV and makes the viewer confuse. It is a subtle way and it works well. RARE are the people who can read and listen in the same time something so serious. Also why using a cam if there is nothing but text and sound. Why not using a website and fix the radio there? It's easyer to read. I loose my time trying to understand and come back and stop and rewind and o... f,,,k I choose better way to inform myself, finally. good effort...

@benjy545 I always wonder what the problem with shooting spent fuel rods into the sun would be. Its certainly better than any storage ideas weve had so far. 30-40 years of power, 250000 years of radioactive waste. The math (even if slightly off) speaks for itself. The nuclear industry needs to go before it contaminates all of Earth... Oh, wait...

[reptilespantoso]

excellent interview, thank you for uploading!

[benjy545]

Send the radioactive material into out space.... Yes, it's tragic and heart breaking.

[benjy545]

Brilliant. Great reporting. Thanks. Someone able to make sense of the situation. As sure as night follows day safety will will be jeopardised because of cost with Nuclear Power stations.

@cbemerine

As it is, coming up on a whole year they've done nothing, absolutely NOTHING to STOP the GROWING nuke melt down. ALL TEPCO Executives should be executed by firing squad. The Japanese government that had the responsibility to govern this area, especially the Prime Minister should be executed if he's not assassinated first. What do you think is going to happen when that nuke core hits Earths mantle?

[danielvincentkelley]

@cbemerine

WRONG. The Russians didn't have to dig under it. They were going to put liquid nitrogen under it, but decided against it. They dropped sand and boron on it by helicopter. Even if they had to dig under it, you state no reason why they're not able. OBVIOUSLY it could be dug under, if that was necessary, which it isn't.
