Can you please explain how you feel it the system there does not fit with civil nuclear power generation.

I Just want to know how you can to that conclusion, rather than take your word for it before I have any comment.

When the quake hit, all control rods should have been fully inserted automatically and all the reactors shut down. The only issue, then, is the latent heat in the reactor and that the cooling system had failed, preventing the removal of this heat. The full insertion of control rods has been confirmed by company officials.

The fact that they are using seawater (mixed with Boron) indicates that they do not ever intend to re-start the reactor as seawater will cause long term corrosion damage which will be sped up by radiation.

The use of the seawater & Boron, with the fuel rod casing is known to cause outgassing of Hydrogen when heated sufficiently. It is this Hydrogen that is combusting explosively when it hits the atmosphere outside the containment vessel.

The thing is, the reactor SHOULD be slowly cooling after shutdown. In fact, according to recent reports, the temperature is increasing.

Although it is a MOX reactor, enriched uranium metal fuel rods could have been used in place of the MOX ones to produce weapons grade products.

While the plant was running properly, cooling would have been sufficient. But if no similar upgrade was done to the control rods, then the existing shutdown procedure would have been insufficient and the reactor/s would have remained in operation.

We are now seeing running reactors with no cooling and the officials are talking of meltdown.

Japan's military was behind the Okinawa protests to kick the US military out of Japan. So then Japan would be able to use the $2 Billion they have to spend to support our military there to build their own military hardware.

They already have a 5th Gen fighter made by Mitsubishi ready to be mass produced.

Japanese military commanders were writing papers saying America was to blame for the Pacific War....although they spoke truth that alone started to reveal where Japan wanted to go.....sovereign again.

The first deployment of Japanese military out of their country since WWII was to Guam. Oddly when they got their they were taking pictures of every little thing from door knobs to other oddities.....hmmm why would they do that? Gathering intelligence for a future strike.

The Japanese reactors switching from Uranium to MOX fuel may also have been a secret Japanese military push to get to getting plutonium to make their own bombs.

Watch the "Samurai" on the History channel hosted by the Iron Chef guy. His parents were Japanese and killed in the atomic blasts on Japan.....he tells some history American's were prohibited from hearing.....WE caused Japan to attack us by ceasing trade with them and wouldn't send them oil anymore. WE rolled into Japan long ago with our Naval Ships and told them to start trading with us or they would be bombed....they just used that same tactic WE taught them and spread across the Pacific....and ended up telling us to open up to trade and give them oil or THEY would bomb us...we opted to get bombed in a suicide act to get America out of Isolationism and into WWII.

The Japanese will get revenge....maybe not this century...made not the next...but one day the Samurai will get revenge.
