Fukushima nuclear plant up close from chopper
Kind of a shaky video, but a few times through and you will begin to
get a feel for just how extensive the damage there is. In reactor number three, you can see massive amounts of exposed rebar, indicating the concrete was blown right off the reinforcement rods of the containment vessel. Steam is coming from what appears, to me, to be the hole left where the containment cap blew off. It's kind of hard to make out clearly in this video. I believe the reactor vessel itself is exposed. If it wasn't, the recent videos of helicopters flying loads of seawater to dump on it would make no sense. They are dumping it right on the exposed reactor vessel and into what is left of the primary containment. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=d9d_1300379014 There is another version of this video on LL too. More shaky then this one, but close to the end they film what appear to be spent fuel rods scattered all over the ground, said rods probably having been ejected from the cooling pools above reactor 3. This is an accident that now is much worse then even Chernobyl. A major portion of the Japanese mainland has been rendered uninhabitable for the next 20,000 years of so. Dave |
