The moment nuclear plant chief WEPT as Japanese finally admit that radiation leak is serious enough to kill people

• Officials admit they may have to bury reactors under concrete - as happened at Chernobyl
• Government says it was overwhelmed by the scale of twin disasters
• Japanese upgrade accident from level four to five - the same as Three Mile Island
• We will rebuild from scratch says Japanese prime minister
• Particles spewed from wrecked Fukushima power station arrive in California
• Military trucks tackle reactors with tons of water for second day

CHERNOBYL SOLUTION

WORLD'S LARGEST
CONCRETE PUMP
DISPATCHED TO JAPAN​

SRS concrete pump heading to Japan nuclear site

The world’s largest concrete pump, deployed at the construction site of the U.S. government’s $4.86 billion mixed oxide fuel plant at Savannah River Site, is being moved to Japan in a series of emergency measures to help stabilize the Fukushima reactors.

The pump was moved Wednesday from the construction site in Aiken County to a facility in Hanahan, S.C., for minor modifications, and will be trucked to Atlanta’s Hartsfield Airport, where it will be picked up by the world’s largest cargo plane, the Russian-made Antonov 225, which will fly it to Tokyo.

The move to Atlanta, he added, will require expedited special permits from Georgia’s Department of Transportation, due to the weight of the equipment. If all goes well, the pump will be en route to Japan sometime next week.

No surprise there:TEPCO admits nuclear meltdown occurred at Fukushima reactor 16 hours after quake

Tokyo Electric Power Co. (TEPCO) admitted for the first time on May 15 that most of the fuel in one of its nuclear reactors at the Fukushima No. 1 Nuclear Power Plant had melted only about 16 hours after the March 11 earthquake struck a wide swath of northeastern Japan and triggered a devastating tsunami.

According to TEPCO, the operator of the crippled nuclear power plant, the emergency condenser designed to cool the steam inside the pressure vessel of the No. 1 reactor was working properly shortly after the magnitude-9.0 earthquake, but it lost its functions around 3:30 p.m. on March 11 when tsunami waves hit the reactor.

Surely you trust your government, especially after the last month........

Holy Fukushima – Radiation From Japan Is Already Killing North Americans

If you live on the west coast of Canada or the United States, you’re pretty much already screwed at this point thanks to the Japanese earthquake and tsunami of 2011. Radiation levels are already increasing in the food and water, babies born with thyroid issues linked to radiation are rising quickly and governments in Canada and the United States are raising the “acceptable levels” of certain toxic substances in the food being shipped in from Japan.
This isn’t a conspiracy theory, this is happening and it’s happening right now.
The fancy little picture at the top of the article isn’t showing you the flow of happy fun time thoughts from Japan back in March of 2012, it’s showing you the flow of radiation from the Fukushima nuclear plant after the devastating earthquake and tsunami of 2011. Yes, that sharp pain you just felt in your chest is the sudden realization that the image shows the radiation reaching almost past Hawaii more than a year ago.
Do the math – If that radiation screamed across the Pacific Ocean that far in one year, just how far do you think it has gotten since then? Look at what World Truth TV is saying and then you decide.

So in digging up a two year old thread, are you saying you are opposed to nuclear energy?

I'd like to unequivocally go on record saying that I do not support eating it, breathing it or drinking it in any way, shape or form.

If you'd take the time to notice, the highlighted article is in fact from June 2013.

I think he's saying he's tired of his money being wasted on failed Green Energy company's !

"[So far, 34] companies that were offered federal support from taxpayers are faltering — either having gone bankrupt or laying off workers or heading for bankruptcy. This list includes only those companies that received federal money from the Obama Administration’s Department of Energy and other agencies. The amount of money indicated does not reflect how much was actually received or spent but how much was offered. The amount also does not include other state, local, and federal tax credits and subsidies, which push the amount of money these companies have received from taxpayers even higher."

So how else do we hasten the change over from fossil fuels and nuclear with out making investments in companies and ideas that have potential solutions? I guess we could wait till private enterprise comes up with a workable solution. I have no doubt that left to it's own devises a solution will eventually come about. No one knows how long that will be. I for one think that it is worth it to try and give it a boost so we can tell the ME and nuclear to go pound sand now rather than later.

I would rather see the government provide incentives such as was done with Ansari X project with an incentive at the end of the tunnel but obtaining funding up front can be problematic.

Just currious. Who approved the Solyndra loan? I know it's just one of many but I am still currious?
