Watch As 6.8 Magnitude Quake Shakes The Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Fast forward to 1 minutes 6 seconds into the clip (equivalent to 4:22am local time, and where every second is equvalent to 6 seconds in real-time) to see what the 6.8 magnitude earthquake, which we reported earlier, was all about. Luckily, this time, it was nothing to write home about. Let's hope it stays that way for all future earthquakes as well, or otherwise Abe will have much bigger problems on his hands than just a flaccid "third arrow."

That was also probably the camera shaking. Seems likely, however, that Fukushima will be above the fold (if there is such a thing) at some point in the future.

Maybe Obozo can be tricked into vacationing near the reactors next year.

 

Promise him beautiful golf courses to play - then frac nearby to start an earthquake.

Last time I was in Peru (a little over a month ago) there was a 5.4 that struck near Lima.  The above video seems like that the 6.8 would be about right, that would be some 40 times the energy released off of Japan vs. the Peruvian temblor.  The motion in the video was more than what I felt there in Lima, but it was the LARGEST temblor I have felt in all my trips to Peru.

A Big One will hit Peru.  A few years ago, an 8 point-something struck southern Peru and caused a LOT of damage.  Chile a year or two (? time frame) ago was struck by a 9.0, very bad, the rough equivalent of Fukushima's big one.

They lost cooling on #5 Spent Fuel Pool last week. Transferred cooling over from the core. After the storm, either one or both could mushroom up.

Either way, they'll have to abandon the site fairly soon due to rising radiation levels/lack of breathing workers. Then all cooling will go bust and anything left will go off.

the fuel rods from Bldng #4 went up on the first day. youtube hatrick penry for his freedom of info doc's which clearly state the whole sheBANG went up and since then it's all been a cover up.  Just look at the images of bldng 4 after the nuclear detonation (excuse me, earthquake) and you will see a bldng with no roof and barely a wall standing.

ABC news shows these nice clean pools, all they needed to add was Koi Fish and presto, what problem?

The No. 4 reactor was stated as defueled and in shutdown prior to the earthquake/tsunami.

The record is clear on this matter. Yet as you say... looking at the photographs of reactor 4 we can clearly see that the building suffered a violent explosion.

I have been paddleboarding on Boundary Bay on the West Coast US Canada border.  The starfish are gone!  The seals? What seals.  The water is murky and algae bloom is exploding. 

As Kevin D Blanch would say - Stay Un-Tuna-Ed!

on a paddleboard you're probably not in the water that much...but is it reasonable for children (supposedly more susceptible) to be in the water?  granted they mayn't be inhaling it, hopefully not even swallowing it?  the seals, starfish and whales live it, agreed.  but a serious question---if posters on other fuku threads have commented on the foolish japanese wading in the ocean, and we've seen numerous charts depicting current flows from japan and arriving along the west coast of NA---is it really safe for children along the west coast to be splashing and swimming?  i am simply asking.

There's two ways to look at it. Everything in the North Pacific is dying, in the worst possible way. The suffering has to be horrific. So, do you want your kids swimming in that?

Or, considering all the children's lungs are full of enriched uranium and plutonium particles, there's radiation in the dairy and water they drink, in the vegetables and meat they eat (Lord help them if they're still eating seafood), as our next False Prophet says, "What fuckin' difference does it make?"

Even my 84 year old Mom says she wouldn't have kids with all this crap going on, and a lot of her Grandma friends say the same thing.

I hope all those illegal immigrants coming across the border know they're marching into a radioactive death. Oh, wait, they weren't told???

The most worrying problem in the Pacific is not the bottom feeders, or the small prey fish, or the larger predatory fish, the starfish, the seals and so on.

I'm concerned about the Phytoplankton.  It's estimated that between 50-80% of the planet's oxygen is created by Phytoplankton growing in the seas and oceans of the world.

I'm sure it goes without saying - but think about.  Every plant, animal, fish, person you see, every day as you go about your business, will be affected. Badly affected.

I think it is all but inevitable now.  I think governments know this.  I think it is being kept quiet, otherwise we would descend into chaos almost immediately.

It is very real, it is very personal, it will affect YOU and I, and everyone we've ever spoken to, known, loved or hated.

The veil will soon be lifted.

And Space Radiation. But considering there's almost no ozone left and the magnetic flux is stretched too thin . . .

And don't downvote me for the ozone comment. There is almost no ozone left. There's also no way to fix it, either. It's too late.

Maybe if they started in the '50's, but not now. So party on, Garth!

It's all gone up, even the extra large Common Spent Fuel Pool. All that's left is #5 and #6, and as soon as the site is evacuated/abandoned, they'll go off, too.

There is no fixing fucked.

Wait till the other sites start to go. Once the radiation kills off a certain percentage of the general population, due to countrywide contamination, there won't be anyone left to repair the cooling systems at all the other plants around the country.

When enough people die, Japan will be globally considered a nuclear wasteland. The healthy ones will flee, everyone else will get sick and die. No one will fly in to repair broken NPP cooling systems.

It's just a matter of time now. A very short time, all things considered.

the 2011 fukushima earthquake was a manmade disaster with nuclear weapons, just as was the case with 9/11. as usual the bush crime syndicate (includes cia), ziocon banksters, and other filth of the rockefelller-rothschild murder cartel were behind detonation of nuclear devices which caused the tsunami.

I realize that is the discussion in some quarters but it is very doubtful Israel would nuke their allies. Shinto Buddhism makes up about 40 percent of Japan and it is an oriental form of Buddhism with ark of the covenant, sacrifice pole and temple built to king Solomon specifications. Royal family emblems exhibit the star of David.

in the movie 'cloud atlas' there is a seen in the future of two civilizations where the futuristic technofacile nomadic culture meets a land based primitive group and asks for help getting to the mountain where the sattelite beacon is. 

 

in that future the world is irradiated due to failed nuclear reactors --presumably. 

 

what's more likely, with hundreds of nuclear reactors world wide---that we have some serious accidents? or that we fix everything. 

 

we've already had some serious accidents that have been covered up. i'm a big proponent of nuclear power, but the critics have a few good points, one of them being its inherently flawed, because human beings are prone to systemic neglect due not only to the profit motive but just general incompetence when it comes to long term maintainance and attentiveness. 

 

for one thing---the real disaster when it comes to nuclear power is the relentless streams of nuclear waste. regardless of the many billions of dollars spent towards alleviateing the problem , it has gotten far worse. 

 

ever spent fuel 'pool' is a VERY DIRTY time bomb, just waiting to go off. 

 

the cover up of fukushima was successful as essentially, the mass media has led the public believe that the core just dissappeared. 

much if not most of the fukushima 'core' simply exploded into the atmosphere and was spread all around the area, and even all around the country of japan. 

the core went critical. there was no nuclear 'flash' like a bomb that everyone pretends will happen. there was a well documented blow off explosion and the aersolization of the core. 

but even as bad as that sounds, by actual kilograms of long term radioactive material, the core is nowhere near as problematic as the spent fuel. 

apart from the  issues's of 'security' of dirty bomb material, there is the much more real problem of spent fuel just aggregating until people dump it all over the place when the reactor and the reactor pools themselves go out of commission in 50 or 100 or 150 years. 

at some point they will be too old to work and will ahve to be decomissioned, and for simple reasons of greed. it's very likely many millions of tons of spent fuel rods and their assemblies and cages will jsut be dumped everywhere. 

 

now the russians have supposedly dumped much of their nuclear submarines ioff an island of theirs in the arctic and with plenty of that radiation in deap water that is very very remote no one seems to have found there's a problem there. there may be or they may not be. 

 

but there is a lake in west russia that is essentially an open dump. the lake mostly was filled with concrete but is as open dust pit now with wind stirring up the dust. 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Karachay

the future is increasingly likely to see more dumping grounds like this. no pretense of 'saftey' like at the total superfund disaster sites like hanford. just a huge open dumping ground pouring into the ground and atmosphere. 

the future world is likely to see hundreds of these sites because of the financial incentives. 

 

as with 'c02' tha people consider to be 'toxic' . i do believe that if a business model can be found that makes a profiteable usage of that c02 as a feedstock into a profiteable product, than c02 can be dealt with [ despite the nonsense propoganda about c02 being a toxin]. 

a firm in england just got 300 million to 'bury' c02 and their facilities will be offshore. , they will get 300 million to just dump the c02 because they will have huge incentives to 'cheat' on the completely expensive and pointless exercise of injecting c02 at high pressure underground. 

 

with nucleear waste, the only way to deal with it is to find and develop a fuel cycle that can reuse these components otherwise they are destinged to be dumped into the environmnet.
