But looking at the footage, when the No.3 building exploded, the fallout
didn't appear to be going out to sea. *Also, if it was a hydrogen
explosion, why was the flame orange?

Also, notice that there has been no video footage of the No.2 reactor
building exploding? *Or of the No.4 reactor on fire?

The explosions appear to be quite sequential, and therefore quite possibly
planned, as opposed to an accidental explosion, so it's more than likely
that they know what they are doing and making do with a worst case
scenario. But, the situation only escalated after all three working
reactors (out of the six) have now suffered explosions.

I don't doubt the the Japanese for their technical ability, but I also
don't feel that they are giving people the facts.

as of tonight they'd evacuated workers- Hide quoted text -

IMHO, a better way to fix it, now it seems to have got completely out
of hand, thanks to the usual 'incompetence of engineers' who designed
emergency systems that don't work in an emergency, would be:

1. Get everybody out of the plant, tell all local residents to stay
inside and close the windows, 'Protect and Survive' stylee (much
better than the daft policy of evacuating the surrounding area, which
is going to cause major problems with housing evacuees)

2. Induce *intentional meltdowns in all reactors, by precision-bombing
them from the air, so that the cooling systems are completely smashed
and all coolant escapes. This would cause the fuel to melt down into
the layer of graphite provided beneath the reactors for just this
scenario, you then monitor the situation from the air with thermal
cameras etc.

3. Once the graphite has absorbed all the fuel, you really let the
site have it with large bombs, so that the graphite layer is buried
under rubble and displaced soil etc.

4. Finally you finish the job by sending men and machines in, with
appropriate NBC precautions, to entomb the whole thing in concrete.- Hide quoted text -

BTW, does the 'exploding reactor' footage remind anybody of this?

Somebody who knows how to do this sort of thing should mash the two
up...
