The bottom may be melted away and the radiation is entering the water table. Lots of radioactive steam and extreme readings. All is well.
This abortion is not shutdown because it is a continuing story. it just keeps on coming.
Thanks for that speculative article…from three months ago.
OMG, now Gonzomax has caught teh gray too!
FINALLY, a casualty.
Like the tsunami, when people ran they didn’t die. Running away is the solution to both tsunamis and nuclear meltdowns/explosions.
If the nuclear shitheel used the same logic with the tsunami, they would be asking how many people died in FUDAI, Japan, to say the tsunami wasn’t that bad, the answer would be no one.
See? According to the nuclear logic the tsunami wasn’t bad there because nobody died.
Oops, once again a post with a link to a source, and logical reasoning. Of course it will be followed by a dozen idiot posts, none of which will add an iota to the understanding.
Yet these same shitheels bemoan the topic, want it closed, want it all to stop being discussed. Because face it, at this point only an insane person can say Fukushima doesn’t mean anything.
Your logic is, as ever, unassailable, but a quick question. Didn’t the workers at the plant stay? Or is the entire area within 50 miles completely deserted of all human life? Obviously, if that’s the case, then, the only other thing would be that human beings around the nuclear power plant were able to flee radiation at whatever speed radiation propagates (which must be as slow as water, yes?) in order to make your highly relevant analogy work.
Of course, unlike the tsunami which DID kill 10’s of thousands, it seems that no one died at all near the power plant, despite being in proximity to it when the OMG WORSTEST NUCLEAR DISASTERIA IN HISTORY HAPPENED, OMG OMG OMG! Nomnomnomnom!! happened, right? So…it doesn’t quite work. But I’m sure the logic is as flawless as the rest of your assertions, I’m just missing something here…

No strawmen here, simply that you didn’t actually respond. The moment I swallow the banana there is an immediate (albeit small) increase in the ammount of potassium and of radioactive potassium in my body. Not big, not life-threatening, not more than a sicentific curiosity like saying that the scale will show more weight if an ant is on your foot when you wieh yourself.
I wil ezxcrete potasium though sweat and mostly urination and go back to befiore-banan levels, but there is an increase.
Thanks dude, anything over 500 million gives me the creeps.
Still no dead or severily injured, though.
It’s like fucking magic.
See? Because everybody ran the fuck away when the radiation levels were deadly (this happened twice) and nobody died, the disaster wasn’t that bad.
The Fukushima fifty, which are no longer mentioned, they didn’t really go back in and face grave danger. Suited up and brave, 50 men willing to die to save the plant, and Japan, that is just forgot. Like their names, nobody even talks about it.
During the worst point, the measurements at the gate (miles away) was 400mSv/hr
Which is why nobody was anywhere near the plant at the time.
But, since everybody fled, and nobody died, it wasn’t* really* bad. The logic, it’s impenetrable!
Here’s the actual deal, FXM. Literally everyone in the thread understands the issues better than you. Literally everyone in the thread cares about the radiation exposure and contaminant leaks and attendant long-term risks.
We just think you’re an asshole, and it’s hilarious to bust your know-nothing balls and watch you get worked up.
No, until you digest it, but that’s a moot point. The thing is, potassium levels fluctuate, so it’s an average level. But remember to focus intently on tiny details like this, and avoid the figures for a gram of radiocesium.
By all means never mention the amount that came from four reactor buildings into the ocean, land and air. Much less the health effects on people, animals and plants.
Stay the course. “Nuclear power is safe”.
Sadly none of them seem capable of participating. Or they would have explained how radiocesium effects people, the amounts, why the areas contaminated vary so much, all kinds of informative things.
But we got nothing from them.
Nonsense of course. Not only do you know little, you don’t know enough to counter the facts presented.
Oh wait, even if you did know, you can’t counter a fact with your opinion. It doesn’t work like that.

With the caveat of ‘…compared to just about everything else.’ Unless you are a ranting fear monkey-troll, such as yourself…in which case trying to discuss relative risk with you is like trying to discuss Newtonian physics with a dust bunny. Actually, the dust bunny probably can comprehend Newtonian physics better than you can seemingly grasp what anyone is trying to tell you on this subject. Possibly orders of magnitude better, if it’s an average intelligent dust bunny…
Actually several of them have (though perhaps not in this rant thread in the freaking Pit…weenie). Unfortunately you were to stupid and to full of knee-jerkitude to comprehend what they were saying. Just about everyone who has attempted to respond to you has a much more nuanced stance than ‘Nuclear power is the bestest evah!’ one you attempt to strawman folks into. Unfortunately, you can only comprehend blind fear and ignorance, so you simply pigeonhole everyone into ‘agrees with me like that great guy gonzo’ or ‘disagrees with me, so is teh evil!’.

Fish in a barrel
The town and it’s residents survived without fatalities due to careful planning, long-sighted risk assessment, and their containment structure (sea wall and flood gate) standing up to the tsunami.
It seems you are now arguing that more robust reactor and containment design coupled with better long range planning would have averted the disaster? I don’t think you will find anyone here that would argue against that.
Hell, I’ve argued it from the start, but FXM doesn’t acknowledge any distinction between “understands how radiation actually works; isn’t terrified of plutonium qua plutonium” and “wants to paint the world with gamma-emitting cesium and sell it to kids as candy”.
You underestimate the power of the FX Strawman.
Yes, that is what the article I linked to says. Repeating it isn’t needed, but at least you read the link.
Again, that is a no brainer. Of course that is the case.
I doubt anyone would argue that seatbelts save lives either. What is your point?
