Fukushima is long gone from the mainstream media but is still kicking out massive amounts of radiation. In the past week or so there have been a couple 6+ earthquakes in the area which “appear” to have affected Fukushima. A worker in the area has states there are cracked under Fukushima and radioactive steam rising [...]

It would appear the USA may get it’s own Fukushima Level event. A reactor in Nebraska is being seriously affected by flooding and is at Emergency Level 4 currently. The reactor is shutdown but those pesky spent fuel pools are a concern. There has been a fire, a couple spent fuel cooling pumps failed but [...]

Arnie Gundersen Interviews Dr. Wing on the Degree of Health Concerns from Fukushima Arnie does an interview with Dr. Wing on the health effects of Fukushima and whether we in North America should be concerned by it. The fact that radiation from Fukushima is dispersing reduces a particular individual’s risk of cancer but the number [...]

Latest on Fukushima – Apr 18th, 2011 (from Arnie at Fairewind Associates) Reactor 1-3 notes no pressure for reactor #2 and #3 which is good however reactor #1 is about 150psi and he not sure why reactor #2 is at around 300F which implies there is no water or steam, it can’t exist at these [...]

Latest video clip from Fukushima. TEPCO is talking 6-9 months to fix this mess. Hitachi is talking 10 years before the spent fuel pool will be cool enough to clean it up and encase the rods. I think Hitachi estimate for everything is closest to being correct, but realistically as Arnie at Fairewinds Associates has [...]

Latest from Fairewinde Associates. Says unit #4 fuel pool is the biggest danger going forward. No power to the fuel pool which has a crack will allow any water to leak out, will be very hard to cool. Arnie Gundersen Speaks With Russia Today About the Increased Severity Rating at Fukushima from Fairewinds Associates on [...]

Latest clip is out from Fairewinds Associates. He makes the comment that prior to Fukushima a worse case was assumed to by a 1% leak form one reactor and with the significant leaks from 3 reactors, this event is about 1000X worse. Arnie is also getting more concerned about control of data. He notes that [...]

An experiment from Arnie from Fairwinde Associates on what happened in the Fukushima reactor that explains how the fuel assembly would have basically fallen apart. The fuel rod casing becomes extremely brittle allowing the fuel pellets to fall to the containment floor and melt thru. Nuclear engineer Arnie Gundersen demonstrates how Fukushima’s fuel rods melted [...]

Highlights of April 6th report out from Fairewinds Associates lots of mud inside the reactors, the NRC is concerned with the water and mud inside the buildings from a weight perspective NRC believes plutonium was ejected several miles from the reactor Areva a French Nuclear Conglomerate noted the following in their report the nuclear fuel [...]
