We'll according to ENE news scientists believe the nuclear fuel has melted through containment and has reached groundwater. They came to this conclusion by radiation levels being altered with the ebb an flow of the tides.
I'm not anywhere near knowledgable on the subject but I was under the impression that if this happened it would explode or would be catastrophic to Japan in Various other ways. Since it seams to of already happened with no major explosions or anything is there really anything to worry about if it happens to the other reactors???
I've tried to upload the pics from the website showing what they believe to be the situation but it doesn't seem to work from my iPhone. What's the worse case scenario if this happened an why is it such a danger if it's already happened ??
I understand it is poisoning groundwater but so is their continuos pumping water into leaky containers so I don't really see a difference other than if they are underground wouldn't that benefit everybody because there wouldn't be anymore airborne radiation.

why aren't we actively decom-ing all nuke sites on the planet? I know GE would lose a fortune but do we care about that?

why isn't the entire planet working to get this under control!!?
also.....why aren't we actively decom-ing all nuke sites on the planet? I know GE would lose a fortune but do we care about that?
The new clean burn coal plants are amazingly clean and efficient and yet the Obama admin is shutting them down....no, this isn't about Obama.....I'm sure any president would do the same because they are being told to.
I just don't understand why we (the people of earth) and the environment has to pay for corporate greed. Everyone is wrapped up in this whole global warming or....sorry....global climate change hoax when the real issues to the environment and human health is the aging nuke plant fleet.
Our elected officials and government agencies really have betrayed our trust as far as the nuke plants go.....
I have become death....

The typical uneducated knee jerk reaction. If a Nuclear power plant is in a area safe from Earthquaks and Tsunamis and has full safety systems then I dont see the danger. We should just stop people from building plants in danger zones or with substandard systems.

Love the Oppenheimer reference....
As far as why we let it happen as people of the same planet..... I'd have to say it's my belief the majority of the world doesn't even know the dangers since nobody will cover it on the news.

Because there is no way to stop it. Its a blob of burning radioactive fuel.
You volunteering to hop in the hole and dig it out?
Not even the Japanese are willing, and they live on that island.
It was over the minute the wave hit the plant and took out the generators.

A wave.....that hit a meaningless little island out in the Pacific.....destroys the entire ocean and slow kills the entire planet....that's just great man, why don't you put her in charge then!!!
