If you ignore RADIATION it will go away.

In like 100 years!!! *


WTF. http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-202_162-57600941/leaks-elevated-radiation-plague-fukushima-nuclear-plant/

TEPCO reported a loss of 300 tons of radiation-contaminated water from a steel tank on Aug. 19, saying most of it is believed to have seeped underground but some might have escaped into the sea. The company has yet to determine the cause or exactly where the water went.

The massive leak of water used to cool the plant's three melted reactor cores triggered fears of similar leaks from more than 300 other similar tanks. The tanks are part of approximately 1,000 tanks holding 330,000 tons of contaminated water at the plant, where the radioactive waste water from the reactors grows by 400 tons daily.

The investigation into the tanks has revealed TEPCO's sloppy record keeping and tank management. TEPCO acknowledged it used to assign only two workers to visually inspect all 1,000 tanks in two hours until the leak, and none of the tanks had water gauges. TEPCO has increased the patrol staff to nearly 60 and is adding other early detection measures.

WHY IN THE FUCK are we worrying about Syria gassing their people when we have nuclear waste poisoning our ocean waters?

I understand gassing is a cruel way to kill someone, but isn't radiation poisoning on a global level worse?

Fuck spending money on a military intervention with Syria, how about spending money on solving the problem with contamination of the world's shared resource?

We can avenge 10-20 people, or save millions... hmmmmm..

Fucking retards.


(I don't have cable so if we ARE doing something about that plant in Japan PLEASE TELL ME)

i posted on a different thread earlier about what they are doing there. Surely not enough.

https://www.rollitup.org/politics/717111-sad-day-fish-lovers.html

  • They really have no solution at this point to stem the flow of contaminated groundwater leaking from the plant.

    I saw a documentary on it recently and the next thing they are gonna try and do is punch a series of deep wells in a concentric pattern around the plant and run refrigeration lines down them and try to freeze the ground to contain the leakage. This has never been tried before. If that doesn't scream desperate I don't know what does.

    It's scary stuff over there indeed.​

We should be pumping money into containment and solutions instead of worrying about small shit.

What about all the contaminated fish and wildlife?

I love how the thing on the side of that page shows the most popular stories.

4-5 hundred million tons of radioactive water seeping into the ocean every day and has been since the earthquake . There was a lot more than that. They were directly dumping radioactive water into the ocean to cool the reactor. this isn't the case now supposedly.

There is a leak in the containment system of the place and are contaminating groundwater which then goes directly to the ocean.

i would imagine that , that is not an easy thing to "clean" up

All the more reason the world should be researching and helping them come up with possible solutions.

BUT OH WAIT...

It's ok guys, the majority of the radiation is just gonna chill in the middle of the pacific ocean for a while. Resume normal activity.

A large proportion of the radioactive plume from the initial Fukushima release won't even reach U.S. coastal waters anytime soon. Instead, the majority of the cesium-137 will remain in the North Pacific gyre — a region of ocean that circulates slowly clockwise and has trapped debris in its center to form the “Great Pacific Garbage Patch” — and continue to be diluted for approximately a decade following the initial Fukushima release in 2011. (The water from the current power plant leak would be expected to take a similar long-term path to the initial plume released, Rossi said.)

well i get your point but most people cannot be AROUND radiation long enought o clean it up when things first happen everyone needs to gtfo or they will die of radiation poisoning kinda a hard thing to have to clean up i guess just the way it is and how logn you can be "exposed" before you could get very sick would make it really hard to stop or clean when it first happens or even a year lateri mean look at chernolyble you still cant fucking go in there

yes you are correct ,
some people go in but not for long periods of times and if your little counter meter thingy starts going off you have to leave that area
josh gates also went in there

yep, correctomundo! I also watched a doc. on Pbs on a study being done of the wolves living in and around chernobyl.

I like pbs. Really not much bullshit on it. Just information.

You know whats great?

The fuckers didn't even measure the radiation properly. They used a tool that maxed out at 100 and didnt think to get a tool that had a higher max until like a year later. So workers were exposed to MUCH higher radiation than anticipated and spent longer than they should in it!

you sound very passionate about this thats great!
you just sound a little aggressive towards the people talking about this with you no one said we COULDNT do it we just said it will be hard to do a tough job

Not directed towards you. just pissed off.

the company that ran fukushima has been covering up exactly how much radiation was being released up until a few months ago. The true levels were only discovered because of independent scientists who were taking readings of the ocean around japan.

This company also has ties with the japanese gov't so nothing will likely ever come of the cover up.

More than anything I feel for the local people who have been and still are living close to the plant and have no where to go.
