Oh, nothing yet. Just 20 minutes after I said it doesn't seem like they have this under control there are reports a meltdown might happen.

That's pretty unlikely at a light water reactor.

Just so we're clear: you can have a meltdown without having a Chernobyl type incident.

WoodDraw 03-11-2011 11:44 PM

It should be noted that a meltdown doesn't necessarily mean that any radiation would be released outside, assuming the integrity of the containment building.

Yeah I definitely understand that. Twitter has blown up in the last couple minutes with reports out of Japan that the element cesium has been detected which may mean a meltdown is occuring.

cesium 137 and strontium 90.

They's **** you up good.

I definitely get the whole concept that the building is built to protect the outside world from this stuff... but if there is a meltdown, what about the people working in the facility?

They are already ****ed.

They've known for 60 years that in the field of Health Physics there is no acceptable level of radiation that is "safe". The doses considered "safe" are really just those with the most palatable risk.

If radiation was 1000x regular levels in the control room, as reported, those people are going to die of cancer. There's really no way around it. They may not get acute radiation sickness, but it's not going to be pretty.

Get a bug out bag. Get some dehydrated food. Get some water filters. Get some protection... invest in silver. Shit is coming.

Think of me what you will. It doesn't matter. But, if you have a family, make sure you have supplies to protect them when the shit hits the fan.

And be friendly to Donger, maybe he will let you in one of their underground bunkers.

Dude.

lol.

Know what really pisses me off about them stoopid fuggers? Our Coast Guard dudes have to risk their own lives to rescue those fools when they get washed in. Two dumbshits trying to get pictures in Oregon got washed out to sea & got rescued by the Coast Guard. Young guys with wives & children at home have to brave tsunamis to fish dumbass idiots out of the water. :cuss:

They didn't misspeak; they really did have advance warning:

Quote:

TOKYO—Some people in Tokyo were warned that a major earthquake was about to hit before they felt a tremor.

As the 8.9-magnitude earthquake struck Japan's northeastern coast, the world's first early warning system—developed by the country's meteorological agency—detected the quake's shock wave near the seismic center and sent off the warning message, which appeared on national television and radio as well as cellphone screens.

In Tokyo, because of its distance from northern Japan, the warning message reached people before the quake actually jolted the capital.
