Meltdown in Japan's Reactors (1 Viewer)

The more things go along the less crazy and paranoid Dodds is becoming. I'm not sure if this means I'm buying the end of the world hype or just coming around to reality.

Per CNN

Nuclear experts who have followed the developments at the damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant in northeastern Japan say that despite several setbacks, the possibility of massive radiation exposure remains low

Headline on fox news:

Japan Fears Nuclear Meltdowns as Survivors Seek Water, Power and Food

KORIYAMA, Japan -- Japan's nuclear crisis intensified Sunday as authorities raced to combat the threat of multiple reactor meltdowns and more than 170,000 people evacuated the quake- and tsunami-savaged northeastern coast where fears spread over possible radioactive contamination.

Nuclear plant operators were frantically trying to keep temperatures down in a series of nuclear reactors -- including one where officials feared a partial meltdown could be happening Sunday -- to prevent the disaster from growing worse.

Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano also said Sunday that a hydrogen explosion could occur at Unit 3 of the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear complex, the latest reactor to face a possible meltdown. That follows a blast the day before in the power plant's Unit 1, and operators attempted to prevent a meltdown there by injecting sea water into it.

I don't know maybe its just me, but that doesn't sound like its under control.

No, not at all. A sensational headline on Fox news? YOU DON'T SAY.

well what gives you the impression that things are not that bad and under control?

not really, I dont know how you can think the risk isn't high of a larger catosphere when you read that article. Japanese efforts to prevent a nuclear meltdown by flooding reactors with seawater are a last-ditch attempt, but do not mean that a nuclear tragedy is imminent, experts said Sunday.

Nuclear experts who have followed the developments at the damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant in northeastern Japan say that despite several setbacks, the possibility of massive radiation exposure remains low -- at least for now.

Japanese officials are keeping an eye on two nuclear plants that have released radiation beyond normal levels. At the Daiichi plant in Fukushima, in two of the three reactors -- Nos. 1 and 3 -- the Japanese government is assuming, but has not confirmed, that there has been a partial meltdown because of the powerful earthquake and tsunami that struck on Friday. At a second plant, in Onogawa, excessive radiation levels also were recorded

This is obviously a story in progress- I don't get the need to take sides here. That said- MAY does not equal IS.Everything I had been reading the first two days led me to believe things were more or less under control. This most recent arcticle in the NYTimes from 1/2 hour ago has me more nervous than people linking to tinfoilhat websites talking about west-coast fallout.

TOKYO — Japanese officials struggled on Sunday to contain a quickly escalating nuclear crisis in the aftermath of a devastating earthquake and tsunami, saying they presumed that partial meltdowns had occurred at two crippled reactors, and that they were bracing for a second explosion, even as problems were reported at two more nuclear plants.

That brings the total number of troubled plants to four, including one that is about 75 miles north of Tokyo.

The emergency at the hardest hit plant, Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, appeared to be the worst involving a nuclear plant since the Chernobyl disaster 25 years ago, and at least 22 residents near the plant showed signs of radiation exposure, according to local officials. The crisis at that plant, which is much further from Tokyo, continued late Sunday.

A day after an explosion at one reactor there, Japanese nuclear officials said Sunday that operators at the plant had suffered a setback trying to bring the second reactor thought to be in partial meltdown there under control. The operators need to inject water to help cool the reactor and keep it from proceeding to a full meltdown, but a valve malfunctioned on Sunday, hampering their efforts for much of the day...

This reminds me of the whole nation watching the balloon float across Colorado and I think the ultimate outcome here will be about as catastrophic, yet it will lead to a halt in the construction of new nuclear plants and insure that we continue to meet our energy needs largely through imported oil for the next 50 years.

Yes balloon boy is a solid comparison to nuclear plants on the verge of a meltdown. That makes complete sense. The story in Japan only matters if there is complete nuclear catastrophe. Got it.

I didn't quite read it that way though. Think the comparison is simply that we're all on the edges of our seats, enthralled, expecting the worst. And even if the reactors are truly contained for the most part, that this becomes less of a disaster than doomsday predictions--it will still result in a loooonnnng setback for those who think we need to get off of fossil fuels for our energy. We all hope it turns into less of a disaster than that. I agree though that the threat will mobilize those against the nuclear that it will be delayed in a big way. I'd also bet that there are enough people interested in keeping us dependent on oil that they're just looking for this kind of advertisement.

There was a bit of hyperbole, but at the end of all of this my expectation is that no one will die and any residual radiation impacts will be no worse than it is for people who work in or live near petrochemical plants. Still, it will shut down the construction of new nuclear plants and decades hence we will still be #####ing about imported oil.

You're probably correct, which is a shame. A 8.9 earthquake followed by a tsunami may not be the absolute worst-case scenario, but it has to be pretty god#### close. If the end result - despite potential core meltdowns at multiple plants - is only a handful of casualties and no significant amount of radiation released into the environment, that should be an argument for the safety of nuclear power plants, not against.

Seriously though... Based on some of the recent links/info provided, it sounds like things aren't as bad as they initially seemed (w.r.t. the Nuclear situation). I just hope things improve from here on out...

 

[Rohn Jambo]

so where does the seawater go after it's poured into the reactor? That's all hazardous waste right?

I have become much more knowledgeable about nuclear power plants because of this incident. The water that is pumped in will turn to steam, which will contain some radioactive material that has much shorter half life of decay (seconds to days) than the other elements that get released when there is a meltdown of the fuel rods.

That makes sense. So dumping the ocean water should work as long as the steam being released isn't too harmful to people. How long will they need to cycle new saltwater through this reactor? And if the reports are correct that other reactors are suffering partial meltdowns, are they going to need to wipe out these reactors with saltwater too? That sure seems like a very bad fail safe plan as adding the saltwater surely kills these reactors from ever coming back on.

Sorry, Dodds. My previous answer to your question was not 100% correct. The steam being release from the Fukushima plants may contain the more dangerous reactive cesium and iodine because of the partial meltdown. The US team has detected radiation 60 miles from the plant, which is well outside the evacuation zone. This NYT article also says that the radioactive steam release may continue for a while.Link

Call me a skeptic, but when I see explosions, concrete broken off of the reactors, mentions of "partial" meltdowns, evacuations of all people 12 miles from the explosion, and a plan to get this under control by dumping sea water into the reactor...well yes I fear the worst.

Q: Won't sea water completely destroy the reactor?

A: Yes, but replacement costs are only $5-7 Billion each. This was always our backup plan. It's right there in the operator manual. Battery backup for 8 hours and then go to the sea water flush.

Q: How many reactors are in trouble?

A: Well we had some completely offline and they are safe. Of the ones we are using? Well, most are in trouble.

Q: This steam you are releasing. It contains Cesium and other harmful chemicals, right?

A: We have told you that there is nothing to see here. Everyone will be fine.

Q: Is there a plan to get some of these reactors back online soon?

A: Hahaha, are you guys making a funny? We are doomed, but we are going to keep this as positive as possible. Hell our stock market is down 4% today as it is. If we start telling the truth, this will kill our markets and real estate. So like we were saying...All is well here. A little mud to clean up from the Tsunami and earthquake, but business as usual for the most part.

Ham up on his roof measuring solar flares with a coathanger and Duracells.

That's okay then. I was worried that Ham might be hiding in a bunker without Internet access. It would be sad if he doesn't know when he can come out, like this Japanese soldier who didn't know WWII was over more than 50 years earlier.

Call me a skeptic, but when I see explosions, concrete broken off of the reactors, mentions of "partial" meltdowns, evacuations of all people 12 miles from the explosion, and a plan to get this under control by dumping sea water into the reactor...well yes I fear the worst.

Q: Won't sea water completely destroy the reactor?

A: Yes, but replacement costs are only $5-7 Billion each. This was always our backup plan. It's right there in the operator manual. Battery backup for 8 hours and then go to the sea water flush.

Q: How many reactors are in trouble?

A: Well we had some completely offline and they are safe. Of the ones we are using? Well, most are in trouble.

Q: This steam you are releasing. It contains Cesium and other harmful chemicals, right?

A: We have told you that there is nothing to see here. Everyone will be fine.

Q: Is there a plan to get some of these reactors back online soon?

A: Hahaha, are you guys making a funny? We are doomed, but we are going to keep this as positive as possible. Hell our stock market is down 4% today as it is. If we start telling the truth, this will kill our markets and real estate. So like we were saying...All is well here. A little mud to clean up from the Tsunami and earthquake, but business as usual for the most part.

Not really.I actually had a pretty good laugh.

I meant I agreed with him on the gov pushing the nothing to see here angle to save the markets.
