Japan Earthquake 2011: Explosion At Nuclear Plant Tears Down Walls Of Building

Saturday, March 12, 2011


This isn't a tough call at all, except if you're a Iobbyist for the nuclear industry paid to spread disinforma­tion..

Japanese nuclear facilities had failsafe systems on top of failsafe systems, and they failed.  

While most reactors are located next to water sources (oceans, rivers, etc.), it's of little value when the electricit­y that runs the pumps is down, as is this case due to the damage done by the earthquake­s.  

Japan is no stranger to earthquake­s and responded to the possibilit­ies across the board, with stringent requiremen­ts for building and support services in the event of a disaster.  

What we're seeing is that the back-up to the fail-safe mechanisms (back-up generators to run the pumps) have failed (batteries­) and they've been scrambling to get more in.  In the course of that, reports are that the core got exposed, which is what occurred at Chernobyl.  Cesium has been detected, and that ain't good.  That indicates core meltdown.



The reports are conflictin­g, but the little that we know that is accurate isn't good news and isn't license to license building new nuclear plants.
