Fuku-zilla? Japan's TEPCO Discovers "Living Creature" Inside Nuclear Reactor
After sending robots into the Fukushima nuclear reactor (and seeing them mysteriously die), perhaps this is the reason why Japanese officials have decided to re-start the building of a huge ice-wall for 'containment'. As Fukushima Diary reports, TEPCO’s camera caught a possible aquatic living creature in retained coolant water of Reactor 3.
The following images are from the inside of PCV 3 (Primary Containment Vessel of Reactor 3). In their previous investigation, 1 Sv/h was detected above the water surface. Yellow-ish sediment was observed accumulating in the water as well.
The possible living creature is recorded from approx. 0:19 of the video. It looks like aquatic microbe, which is independently swimming unlike other substances.
The following GIF was edited by Fukushima Diary. It contains the zoomed (200% and 300%) parts to capture the creature more closely.

It may not look like much but with radiation flooding through its seemingly impervious body, who knows what happens next?

It's probably a GMO shrimp.
Abe can swim like "other substances"? Even like Kuroda? ;-)
Looney
The destroyer of worlds, the next level of evolution, have arrived.
It could also be one of Godzilla's sperm seeking the egg in the reactor. Maybe he was jacking off underground which set off the earthquake/tsunami.
Pretty sick , even for a Saturday night, JS
Likely just alien life reaching the right conditions to thrive.
Yeah... I guess it was a little sick. I apologize. Got a little carried away there with the flashbacks to the old 60's zilla flicks. Still... you never know.
It's not. It was sediment knocked free and was falling and fluttering, giving it the appearance of being alive.
Clickbait article.
Right. Just like all the pictures and videos of the Illuminati morphing back and forth to Reptiles and when I sat next to Elvis when he was flying the UFO.
You can't dismiss everything you hear on the Interwebbie thingamajigglie.
It's not a thingamajigglie, it's a series of tubes.
Brownian motion creates the illusion of a living thing moving.

There's a lot of rusting iron in that pressure vessel and that serves as an energy source for bacteria that feed higher level organisms. These things can all tolerate huge levels of radiation. Extremophiles love this stuff.

Just wait until the accelerated mitosis, molecular replication, multiple fission and meiosis starts.
Considering the excitation energy of Thalium 201, byproduct radiation frequency resultant from a half-life of 3.0408 ± 0.0420 days, I fully expect multiple sentient life forms with evil intent to spawn within 62.58 days.
They will go into the Wall street banking business and the sub-life forms will go into government.
So when the only hope for humanity to survive is to band together under one flag, like Independance Day, we will all be like "haha, fat chance".
Been ready for your bs alien invasion since Reagan.
thanks, we have live bacteria living in the Lucas Heights Aus reactor waters
so this isnt at all unusual.
Regardless, the article's closing comment was Zero Hedge at its finest.
“You can't dismiss everything you hear on the Interwebbie thingamajigglie.”
Beware the Interweb Of Thingamajigglies.
That's exactly what it is. No life here at all. Although there may be organisms that COULD live here. Nothing mysterious about it.

I prefer a little Eine Kleine Nachmusik on Saturday night Johan.
That was actually my descendant, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's opus. (We Germans are anal about details.)
"... and seeing them mysteriously die"
A week after the meltdown (when Tyler was hat-tipping to the idiot claiming Roomba had dispatched robots to investigate the damage) I pointed out NO ONE had a design for ANY piece of equipment likely to exist inside the meltdown zone.
It wasn't particular brilliance on my part. Just knowledge of the industry and what that type of environment would do to any of the exisitng technologies that might be exposed to it.
The only "mystery" is why NEW morons trying to explore with a 'roto-rooter' where given any credibility in the least.
Want to know what's the core looks like?
Find someone with a death wish and send the idiot in to get as close to the core as possible before he dies - have him towing a shielded, hardened CCTV that can be remotely deployed when the volunteer stops moving.
IF the volunteer gets into the the core area and good data is obtained - give his heirs a crap ton of money.
Rinse, repeat as necessary.
Obviously the little beasty is genetically related to Ann Coulter.
It's just a piece of shit getting blown around by the ROV thrusters.
Now don't you spoil the imminent zh hysteria with a reasonable and plausible explanation.
Momma always said hair on your palms and creatures like this what happens when you tug your pud too much.
Want proof? Just look at Cousin Cletus' palms. Hairy as a shaggy dog with no tail.
deep-sea alien robot re-checking radiation level...
Exactly....let's at least pile onto this by saying it very possibly could be a "radiation digesting microbe". :) At least now, anyone who does a google search on 'radiation digesting microbe' will be drawn to ZH.
I say release it into the ocean so the radiated Salmon have something to eat.
Completely legal to sell in food stores thanks TPP.
No Just proves that real life on this planet will find a way to survive banker/profit rape.
Even the smallest brained life on this planet seems to know NOT to shit in it's own home. Survival is stronger than Wall Street's arrogance. Stronger than the human species hubris and greed and destruction.
Wish those microbes well. They may be the next building blocks for human folly.
Interesting fact: Godzilla has destroyed Tokyo 28 times! Fuckin' amazing what you can learn!

Looked like a renegade sperm in search of an egg.
Oh no. There goes Tokyo. Go go GODZILLA

There was a reason for the name GOD-zilla!
Life catching up with science fiction.
Thanks, made me pick up my guitar and jam G O D Z I R R H A A !
Awesome riffs.
Godzirrhaa will not finish Tokyo, Japanese do it A ok. NO Plobrem.
US overdue for a good meltdown too. Just got to milk another couple billion in govt subsidies.
Y'know to keep the clean energy supply up.
bukkake man ?
The much needed newborns in Japan are being served. Without sex.
Or maybe their trillion yen coin is alive.
Stay Puft Marshmellow Man!

At 1:12 I saw the devil.
Nothing could ever beat Godzilla. Nice try Tepco.

No mass media-reported fear and loathing in Lost Wages. Just another glowing point of light in a town that serves as perhaps the best example of late-imperial decadence and economic and ecological unsustainability.
Lost Wages is like a shining example of a big hairless ape's middle finger to Mother Nature and the evolutionary script.
The problem is that Mother Nature always bats last and has some big honking biceps and pecs with the capacity to send us apes to the Moon and Mars where we belong.
evolution always movin forward. why couldnt a creature live in massive radiation....fuck hillary had a creature plop out of her vagina. that has to be the most hostile enviro in the galaxy. acid. eat a hole thru 20 decks of a ship. gaseous odourus vapors of slim and goo and puss and cancor sores mutating into who knows what. hillary our next president....

The more techno-optimistic or -delusional among us are envisioning a new universal techno-utopian religion spawned by the delusional bubble-induced zeitgeist (and other substances) of Silly-Con/Social Mania Valley.
Forget about sending humans "back to" the Moon or to Mars. A growing majority of Silly-Con/Social Mania Valleyites are already spaced-out hitchhikers in another galaxy far, far away from the center of the (un)known universe.
Yet, we can't even ensure a socially acceptable material standard of living per capita for the vast majority of human apes on Spacehip Earth, which is all the more reason why Musk, et al., want to get off planet ASAP, i.e., "Elysium".
Funny, that.
Fukushima is bad but still compares favourably with what lurks in the darkest recesses of many politicians' and bankers' hearts.
I bet that by tomorrow, we'll get 500 youtube movies that claim it's aliens and other crap.
Dallas: "Alien life form. Looks like it's been dead a long time. Fossilized. Looks like it's growing out of the chair. [climbs up for a closer look] ...Bones are bent outward, like he exploded from inside."
Kane: "The pit is completely enclosed. And it's full of leathery objects, like eggs or something."
Well there you go, a RARE (and quite possibly endangered) Aquatic creature that thrives in equally RARE toxic and radioactive environs. We cannot risk destroying this (did I mention RARE) creature by cleaning all of this shit up. It's just not worth it......
Sacramento River Water.
The irony of which is the fish supposed to be save by the water discharge are now long gone but we still gotta discharge the water for the children of the fish or whatever.
Maybe it's a genetic attempt to solve this one. Super sperm! No condom can defend against it!

If it can survive in such conditons.
Save us Mothra
Nice entertainment. "A microbe grows up to be godzilla because of radiation". Ehm WTF?
(ok, i get it! your point is about not trusting nuclear utility companies, but please don't exaggerate THAT much with the nuclear topics otherwise I am starting to doubt some of the other more financial content of your website).
PS: Did you know that you are radiating as well?
hey@ bernoulli...are you French? 'Cause your comment sounds like something an uptight, lecturing, high and mighty franchouillard would write.
p.s. With all the dismal news that ZH exposes, I consider this article interesting and a welcome bit of comic relief that makes me forget how "fuku'd" we all are.
You can now go back to blowing Hollande.
Bienvenue.
Merde alors. Probably I drank too much champagne before writing my comment. It does sound a bit French when reading it again.
HOWEVER (here comes the lecturer in me again): I still believe radiation is one of the last things we should be worried about these days. If we would be honestly worried about radiation, then we should definitely ban coal power plants (https://www.rt.com/usa/314309-coal-ash-high-radiation/) and avoid eating too many bananas (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banana_equivalent_dose). On the other hand, if we would be honestly worried about anything bad (as in "bad for humanity", not only "bad expensive") happening with regards to nuclear technology we should really be worried about nuclear weapons technology (which were built with only one purpose in mind: maximum destruction)

Well, who knows?
It could be a living thing I suppose.
The only science people can be 100% certain of is leftist climate science.
All the rest remains open for debate.
Not surprising. Life finds a way.
I feel for guy who is operating the camera and takes it out and cleans it off... I would say fuck that and go to thailand
Only GOD makes new life forms!
It would appear that there is only one life-form...
DNA based.
At least, on earth.
Be SCARED! Be very SCARED!
Halloween must be around the corner
I think they found Anne Coulter.
Oh no, there goes Tokyo go go Godzilla!
That's pretty bad ass. Maybe we can gene splice with it and become some new 2 live crew that can eat radioactivity.
Hmmm. it actually looks like they are in the Torus (suppression pool), not in the reactor vessel as the headline implies. Granted, the torus does form the lower boundary of the primary containment and acts as the ultimate heat sink for the vessel safeties and the HPCI/LPCI turbine exhaust.
Wonder if it is related to the mysterious Buhda and spacecraft shaped rock formations found on Mars?
Looks like a human skull at 1:10
It’s been over six months since I posted the below comment on ZH and nothing really changed since then except another failure of some robotic toy :
http://phys.org/news/2015-06-small-robot-interior-fukushima-daiichi.html#jCp
and turning back to the old tired ideas of ice wall proven wrong long time ago. Now they try another band aid to frantically stop massive seepage of the highly radioactive water to the ocean that was declared SAFE for fishing years ago namely steel and concrete reinforced wall at the edge of the water and not a confinement of the melted reactors that continue to contaminate ground water with thousands of tones of radioactive water, by-product of cooling of the reactors with cracked containment vessels and missing melted nuclear fuel. They are truly hopeless with no solution even on the drawing board. It looks like they will obliterate themselves without help from Godzilla.
Also we had a lesson of justice Japanese style, when legal peoples’ court indicted the TEPCO for crimes of deliberate murder and physical, psychological and economical injury based on TEPCO previous knowledge of unmitigated seismic dangers that invalidated Fukushima NPP operational license and required by law immediate shutting down of Fukushima NPP, was rejected by Sendai prefecture prosecutor due to “lack of evidence” unveiling true face of Japanese totalitarian regime disguised as “democracy”. TOO BIG TO JAIL JAPANESE STYLE.

So here I go for those who missed it.
Over 4 years passed since Fukushima disaster so it’s time for quick recapitulation of the situation:
Situation at some US nuclear power plants and decommission efforts:
https://sostratusworks.wordpress.com/2015/01/01/devils-good-intentions/
and propaganda lies about renewable and nuclear energy, an excerpt from https://sostratusworks.wordpress.com/2015/02/11/engineering-renewable-delusions/ about fallacy of the concept of peaceful application of nuclear power.
The Nuclear power however, is neither clean nor sustainable and is simply a cruel hoax, masquerading as power generating technology. There is no such a thing as peaceful or civilian nuclear power. Little history. When in early fifties nuclear weapons race between US and Soviets and later China was in its apex a problem aroused of running huge operation of producing nuclear weapons in total secrecy. The issue was necessity of running secretly many nuclear reactors fueled with over 99% of U238 and less than 1% of isotope U235 which after controlled fission burning produced 3-4% of isotope U235 ready for subsequent enrichment in order to produce nuclear weapon grade fuel. Another problem was that further enrichment of uranium U235 and Plutonium Pu239 isotopes required enormous amounts of electricity, for running of hundreds of thousands mechanical centrifuges 24/7 affecting whole national power system with variety effects that were not easy to conceal.
To the rescue came bunch propagandists from Pentagon or W.H. and devised peaceful use of nuclear energy mantra, brilliantly conceived method of hiding massive nuclear war preparation effort as a benign service to humanity as proclaimed by president Eisenhower as early as in 1953. As a result first so-called US Civilian Nuclear Power Plant was born in Shippingport, Pennsylvania in 1957, with moderate redesign of original military nuclear reactor and adding steam turbine and electric power generators. Even deadly adversaries of US in Soviet Union did not openly attack Eisenhower, by calling him liar and hypocrite in editorial of “PRAVDA” newspaper as they usually did but instead they were uncannily receptive to supposed “peace” overtures. They must have understood the point and figured out that they can also use this propaganda ploy to keep readying to nuclear confrontation while utilizing previously useless steam to light up half of Siberia, all in the name of world peace. No need to go on.
Ignoring inherited environmental dangers and flaws in basic concepts of design, nuclear power plants were never meant for civilian use for one reason alone. Namely complete lack of any technology enabling utilization of deadly, lasting up to billion years, nuclear waste for any further civilian use and fairy tales about new breeder reactor technologies do not change anything in that matter. The Fukushima NPP disaster is prime example of deadly results of reckless design based more on war contingencies than consideration for civilian lives, combined with complete criminal incompetence of private operator focused solely on profit. The medium term effects are starting to show up in form of 6000% increase in cancer cases in Fukushima prefecture while authorities call area safe.
If you read Ablaze: Story of Chernobyl by Piers Paul Read you soon understand what a truly incredible job the Soviets did to bring Chernobyl back under control. OK complete failure to let it happen, but the solution can't fail to impress either from an industry or scientific community perspective or how the ordinary people such as miners and other workers committed themselves to the challenge.
Michio Kaku said pretty early on that it needed to be entombed like Chernobyl. He recommended the military would be the only one able to do it. Poison for a thousand years.
I've swabbed cultures from various areas in my vault where the accelerator is, and it grows. I don't know what type of monster can live in that environment, since I've never seen anything alive in that room, but something grows on the cultures.
Deinococcus radiodurans
It doesn't actually digest radioactivity, but has a really tight structure with much redundancy and good DNA repair mechanisms.
It can survive the radiation. No multicellular organism is known which can survive a Fukushima-type environment.
We've never bothered to send them off to be identified, since it was just an off record experiment to see if anything at all lived in the vault with the accelerator, but that sounds like the culprit. Thanks for the information.
Well hell, what are we waiting for? Send McCain or Kerry down there to negotiate with it.
Crap
This is as stupid a s ISIS cutting there hair.
Keynesian morons
Behold, your earthly replacement in the womb.
That looks like a super-amoebic-dysentery ... That shit will have you bleeding out of ALL your holes ...
It's posts like this that bring into question the wisdom of the Tylers on most things economic and political. Just stop it.

No need to fear, because the age of the atom now is here...
One thing is for sure, if this new life form wishes to immigrate there's a visa waiver avaiable, and if it wishes to buy a home in the US there's a state guaranteed loan available, and in cae you'really wondering.......the life form is already registered to voter for Hillary and previously voted for Obama by mail.
Turbulance . I'm not saying it's not alive. This article is more like an allnewspipeline.com article.
I don't expect that crap here. Please don't go over the edge and stay over the edge.
Did you guys see this plutonium dump fire/explosion in nevada....
