CNN just said 2 nukes plants are now venting radiation.

[should have back up wind power or something for the cooling pumps.]

yeah, saw that.... said they didn't have any water to cool it with.... I'm like... "your kidding right? Tsunami.... floood....... no WATER???"

Don't you find that a little ironic?

2ndgenz28 · 03-12-2011, 01:12 AM

Same with the fires, houses buring while they float away....

only good part will be new changes to regulation, only way nuke plants are unsafe really [beyond not running them right] loong as its kept cool, it works fine.

I just heard on the radio that they upgraded the strength from an 8.9 to 9.1

I don't think they'll really know for weeks what it was..... they're just speculating now

You might be right.

Death toll may have just jumped...I posted a new thread where 70,000 people (an entire town) may have been washed away. So sad...

They started to hand out iodine Tablets, also its the 1970s built one having the most problems.

yea woke up and heard the news that one of the reactor is ON FIRE. Hopefully it won't go full meltdown!

2ndgenz28 · 03-12-2011, 11:56 AM

Im about 90% expecting to see a mushroom cloud on TV when it lets lose.

Being as old as it is.

Though its will be a set back for new plants if they can't come up with ways to keep them cool during a power outtage.

even if they had hand pumps that took 50 people per side to pump it, there should be about a dozen viable back up option to get the water. UNless so many people are dead that it won't matter if it lets lose. [But we ain't there yet.]

Skill377 · 03-12-2011, 12:05 PM

sad part is.. the japanese government kept telling everyone "everything is fine" but not doing a thing about the reactors. Wonder how bad it'll get once that plant goes BOOM?

Where is the U.S. And other countries? Clinton said that they were sending in the military to transfer extra supplies of coolant. This was yesterday morning. Do we want a nuclear meltdown to happen?

I mean we can't bring in extra generators to power the pumps. Half of japan is in ruins right now, do they want it to stay that way ala Chernobyl?
