Reactor #2 At Fukushima Detonates (third reactor explosion...now fourth!)

Thanks mate, I appreciate your replying to keep me up to date.

It seems what is newsworthy is anything extreme, and if that subsides over time it all goes quiet again.

So much for the temperature figures-- the FLIR had a cutoff range of 128 degrees- this is Number Three, now:

How much time will it take to reach the entire world?

What is the wind direction? And what place is it going to hit first?

It has gone global on the jet streams already, with readings showing up everywhere at "levels below concern" and in parts of East Asia school kids have been told to stay home (Korea) until levels drop.

The wind direction varies with altitude and season, day by day. But generally, the jet streams blow from west to east while low-altitude winds can blow in any direction over Japan and nearby countries, depending on daily conditions.

Barring further explosions, the local fallout within 200 miles (400 kilometers) will be significant, while intercontinental fallout will be of academic interest.

The problem for the next 30 years will be decontamination of the contaminated prefectures...

New video from within the exclusion zone. Unfortunatly it doesn't come with subtitles but we can imagine what they're saying.

Where are the Radiation Monitoring Stations in the US ?

edit : sorry, they are online again

Uranium fuel in at least one of the six reactors at Fukushima has melted, the operator of the crippled nuclear plant has said. The admission effectively torpedoes a plan to flood the overheating fuel with water and bring a quick end to the worst nuclear crisis since Chernobyl.

Tokyo Electric Power Co (Tepco) said water levels have fallen at least one metre below fuel rods inside Reactor 1 and that melted fuel has dropped to the bottom of the reactor's containment vessel. Engineers are working inside the reactor building for the first time since the crisis began when a hydrogen explosion blew off its roof following the huge quake and tsunami on 11 March.

Tepco general manager Junichi Matsumoto told reporters in Tokyo that the discovery means its timetable to entomb the containment reactor vessel in water may have to be scrapped. "We can't deny the possibility that a hole in the pressure vessel caused water to leak," Mr Matsumoto said.

Observers fear that Reactor 3, which contains MOX plutonium fuel, may have also suffered a meltdown, and the situation inside Reactor 2 is still shrouded in mystery.

"The situation is clearly far more serious than previously reported, and could escalate rapidly if the lava melts through the reactor vessel," warned Jan Beránek of Greenpeace.

wow what a bump! i was reading this thinking it was just happening.
this was started just a few days after the earthquake!
OP hope your family is safe and doing well

Nuclear meltdowns, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, chemtrails over Europe and weird weather...what next?
