Is the Japanese miracle about to destroy us all?

Getting really worried about this & puts the blue/red issue into perspective.

They will never be able to make that thing truly safe, its now on the same scale as the Chernobyl disaster. Time to throw a Sarcophagus over it and forget about the place for the next century or 2

whats it got to do with the whole "blue/red" thing

They will never be able to make that thing truly safe, its now on the same scale as the Chernobyl disaster. Time to throw a Sarcophagus over it and forget about the place for the next century or 2

Feel sorry for the brave workers on that site, garaunteed early death. It should be given the status of global disaster with America and China helping out. If that radioation enters the pacific ocean it'll be on Barry beach in a few years and on our dinner plates shortly after that.

considering that we are on the opposite side of the world being nowhere near the pacific, i think we're genuinely safe

Then dont eat it then
Throwing a sarcophagus over it wont help because the danger is from underground. The Japs do need help though.

Don't eat anything ever? Wow problem solved

All the seas are linked by a one continuous current, can't remember the name. 'Humbolt' maybe? Seeing as it only takes one particle of piping hot radiation to kill a man with cancer, we should all be worried.

Strontium 90 is a pure beta emitter and has a half life of around 28 years. It is not good if it has been injested. Yes it needs to be stopped and Japan needs to get that help. Somehow they need to divert the water supply underneath the reactor. Also they need to keep the reactor cool so also need to find ways of circulating the water being used so they dont need to keep using more and more. A condensing system could be built using the sea water as a coolent in a heat exchange. It would be costly but Japan needs help. The Pacific is huge and would dillute any radioactivity but agreed its not good and needs to be sorted like now.

Is Strontium the most dangerous with longest half life? Thought there were more harmful ones comming off the core?

Not good if ingested is an understatement.

By no means no its bloody tame in comparison with some that have half life's of thousands of years Chief
