Architect of Fukushima Daiichi Reactor 3, Uehara Haruo, the former president of Saga University had an interview on 11/17/2011.
In this interview, he admitted Tepco’s explanation does not make sense, and that the China syndrome is inevitable.
He stated that considering 8 months have passed since 311 without any improvement, it is inevitable that melted fuel went out of
the container vessel and sank underground, which is called China syndrome.
He added, if fuel has reaches a underground water vein, it will cause contamination of underground water, soil contamination and
sea contamination. Moreover, if the underground water vein keeps being heated for long time, a massive hydrovolcanic explosion
will be caused.
He also warned radioactive debris is spreading in Pacific Ocean. Tons of the debris has reached the Marshall Islands as of 11/15/2011.

Makes perfect sense to me. You might add that this particular nuclear plant real estate will probably become a hole, a kind
of new bay, with some flooding in the process – a mini tsunamiHThen TEPCO will have achieved ″cold shutdown″ as promised
and the size of the evacuation zone will not be an issue anymore, as it’ll be gone.
QuestionFin all their stupidity, incompetency and criminal complacency, were they able to predict such an event happening
around their January deadline, taking into account the rate of descent of the material they deny is lost and the hydrography.
I Live in Japan. I am a japanese.
I fear very much about the fukushima NPP present situation.
The government officially said that they are going to stop in the cool temperature(reionnteishi)
I fear that the uranium fuel is melted thru the container into the soil.
Why the government not says that these critical situation and
danger you mentioned.
At the early time Assistant Professor Koide of Kyoto University mentioned the possibility. And urgently block the underground
around the building. The melted fuel get thuru the inside of the soil will contaminate and goes thuru into the sea.
This must be blocked by building the block inside the soil of the NPP s
TEPCO has aware of this fact Mr.Koide mentioned at that time and
Tepco’s plan includes the dealings of these case.
.
I think the government hides the fact and is afraid of being known the reality.
How do you think?
The goverment is very unrealiable, and betrayal.
@ TOMOKO YAMAKAWA who said “And urgently block the underground around the building.”
because it is impossible?? The best that can be hoped for is that there are no more big earthquakes, that ground
water can be pumped out and decontaminated, and that the corium creates a stble self-made ‘drill hole’ (shaft)
which does not collapse. Thus preventing pressure build-up.
Eventually the decay heat will be less, and if we are lucky the corium is becoming so contaminaed with molten
silicates, etc. that the fissionable material will be unable to reach criticality, even if by chance it clumps together
in a bigger blob (lump) as it descends into Hell.
“stble” should be “stable”
Tomoko, it is not so much the nuclear disaster that you should fear as the concept of the centralized nation-state…
Via wage-slavery, gov’ts the world over are creating these kinds of technologies and nightmares and running our precious planet off the edge!

Japan is now suffering with a Trillion Dollar Eco-Disaster,
… Yet TEPCO and the Gov’t. maintain that it, in effect, is “no big deal”:
Polluted Ocean, N☢ Problem, it will get better after a while….
Polluted Fields, N☢ Problem, they can remove the upper layer
Polluted Air, N☢ Problem, they can wear paper masks for a while
Polluted Food, N☢ Problem, they can mix the good food to dilute the bad
Polluted Homes, N☢ Problem, they can power wash them clean
Polluted Schools. N☢ Problem, they can clean them off
Polluted Cities, N☢ Problem, they can return soon…
Polluted Lives, N☢ Problem, they can move on…
Polluted Country N☢ Problem, the rich can relocate
Just what will it take to wake up the Japanese People to the very real potential that a corium groundwater and or a
corium ocean seawater steam “event” could cause on going Global radioactive pollution for decades?
The 3 Molten Coriums are “turning themselves On and Off” (what some refer to as subcritical fissions) and these
UNCONTROLLED interactions are creating the short lived radionuclies that are being measured AFTER TEPCO has
declared the Complex “In cold shutdown”? If this process generates massive heat spikes, then perhaps it is
what I’ve been calling The Fuky Effect, (the periodic spikes observed in the reactor temperatures… See Corium
“Flows” Picture http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corium_(nuclear_reactor) I believe that what is happening in Japan
is ONGOING, not a brief event like Chernobyl.
This Trillion Dollar Eco-Disaster is still on going and as one of the “Japanese Irregulars” that have been following this
since 3/11 and blogging on HuffingtonPost about it, I’d like to share:
1. That not only is this multi-reactor meltdown still spewing radioactivity into the air and Pacific Ocean off the reactor
complex but the current estimates are that any resolution (cleanup is too benign a word) will take DECADES!
2. TEPCO & the US Nuclear Industry are trying to say that this entire Debacle is due to the big Tsunami and NOT the Quake,
because if the quake is the real initiator (and many believe the data points in that direction), then that puts all reactors at risk!
Nature can destroy any reactor anytime anywhere 24/7/365, because Nature does not follow reactor design limitations!
Case in point American reactors have a very low G rating (think shake rating) so they will fail if there is a big quake!
The NRC knows this and you can read email about it here: It takes a while to load, but it is worth the wait!
http://pbadupws.nrc.gov/docs/ML1117/ML11175A278.pdf
3. Please realize that they cannot just cover this complex up with concrete because the Molten Corium is just too hot
(no pun intended)! This melted super radioactive “Stew” has already melted through one or more reactor pressure vessels
(most observers think 3 reactors) and is at the moment working it way through the cement containment structures
(some even feel this has happened already) and is now heading through the “landfill” below the complex toward the
water table below! If that happens then the resulting radioactive steam release will be gigantic and its affects will be
seen globally!
4. Ask yourselves how the USA would handle a Trillion Dollar Eco-Disaster like the Japanese are struggling with now
and then perhaps many will continue to question if Nuclear is indeed the best option for America or any other Country!

1) Former Minister for Internal Affairs Haraguchi Kazuhiro has alleged that radiation monitoring station data was actually
three decimal places greater than the numbers released to the public. If this is true, it constitute s a “national crime”,
in Nishio’s words.
2)The reason for official reluctance to admit that the earthquake did direct structural damage to reactor one is obvious.
Katsunobu Onda, author of TEPCO: The Dark Empire … who sounded the alarm about the firm in his 2007 book explains
it this way: “If TEPCO and the government of Japan admit an earthquake can do direct damage to the reactor, this raises
suspicions about the safety of every reactor they run. They are using a number of antiquated reactors that have the
same systematic problems, the same wear and tear on the piping.”
3) Eyewitness testimony and TEPCO’S own data indicates that the damage [done to the plant by the quake] was significant.
All of this despite the fact that shaking experience d at the plant during the quake was within it’s approved design specifications.
4) What the emails shows is a weak government , captured by a powerful industry colluding to at least misinform and very
probably lie to the public and the media.
To argue that the radiation was being released deliberately and was “all part of the safety systems to control and manage
a situation” is Orwellian.

Hydrovolcanic explosion? I wonder if that would be like a geyser or something bigger. I wish he would explain in more
detail in a way that ordinary people could understand.
How about ″the whole nuclear plant is sitting on a huge potential steam bomb″ ? The pressure of previous hydrogen
explosions above ground was enough to blow away 1 meter thick concrete walls and strip bare the nuclear plant.
With tens to hundreds times more pressure packed down deep underground where next explosions may occur, it
would probably blow the whole real estate up in the sky and leave a hole that will quickly fill up with sea water –
a new Fukushima bay. There would probably be a localized tsunami so people who live close-by will get hit again.
Remaining nuclear fuel will be washed at sea and the North-West Pacific Ocean will die. We only need one or two
such events to join the list of extinct species.
A simple way of explaining a hydrovolcanic explosion is if the melted core, (aka corium) which can easily reach 1200 Celsius,
reaches the water table (H2O boils @100 C) the water table will turn to steam which takes up 1700x the space of liquid
water. As the pressure in this earth contained pressure cooker increases it is only a matter of time before something gives.
It could just be a massive geiser or something many many times worse….such as the afore mentioned hydrovolcanic
explosion, which is actually two explosions. The first being the steam explosion and the secondary explosion coming from
the disassociation of water (H2O) into Hydrogen and Oxygen. 3 drops of disassociated water (H2 + O2) can produce over
29000 pounds of pressure. Mind you, if this happens in the water table, the explosion would astronomical. God help the
Japanese people…God help us all.
Those of us that have been informed for the past 35 years have been saying that humans are not intelligent enough
for nuclear power. All nuclear reactors, bombs, depleted uranium, etc. must be baned world wide, and soon. Or we
are doomed. My best judgement is that it is aready too late for life as we know it on earth. But we must try ! Go to
your elected representatives offices immediaely, in person, and demand action.
Yup. That sounds about right. Take your kids out of there and fast !!!
I’m so sorry for the Japanese, and sorry for all those affected by this atrocity. If you’re on Honshu or Hokkaido and reading this, take steps now to get out of harm’s way. It’s only going to get worse. Whether the government is lying or not telling everyone the full extent of this catastrophe doesn’t matter. You must take responsibility for yourself and your family and get out now. Go south to Kyushu or Okinawa. Especially if you have children. Get out now.
I agree,
… There is a time to consider,
… A time to ask questions,
… And a time to act in your own best interest!
Now is the time to act!
You’re right, although Western Honshu is still OK for a while. However in Okinawa I could personally check that the food in
supermarkets is the same as in Tokyo – poison. There are no fancy imported food stores that I know of, maybe in Naha,
but who wanna live there HBesides if one moves, there are no job there so no money for pricey imports… Sometimes you’re
better off in the city, with access to some special supermarkets that are starting at last to propose food from South-West Japan,
Australia, etc. to educated consumers that lack in outback Okinawa.
Fuel near critical mass in a confined space — underground — becoming super-critical due to neutron reflector(s) will also cause an explosion.
If other cores are in the ground the shock wave from the 1st explosion would trigger secondary explosions:

Great Post!
The truth is that TEPCO is playing a delay, and wait and see game that the Japanese People cannot afford! In the very
least a steam event or a massive hydrovolcanic explosion will make the entire complex a N☢ GO Zone, then what
happens to all the spent fuel rods that are left in ALL 6 reactors?
If I was in charge, I would:
1. Moving every remaining fuel rod (spent or otherwise) to off site locations far away from Fukushima ASAP.
2. Start drilling core hole uphill from the holed reactors in an effort to reach the groundwater and then pump
it out before it reaches the corium(s).
3. Immediately fill-in the breakwater and start construction on a “coffer dam” that would then allow them to
pump seawater away from the holed reactors and prevent seawater from contacting the corium(s).
4. Open the site to International experts to make better additional assessments!
Waiting will only save TEPCO money not save Japan!
Nuclear reactors are there to reduce the world’s population.
Look up the Georgia Guidestones.
The control freaks want only 500 million left.
I’m not sure they will even have 1 million left after the rest of the nukes go off around the world.
I can wait to see a volcanic eruption from this! How exciting it will be to see a man made volcano!
To think how far man has come…being able to trigger volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and tsunamis….God must be SO proud!
The morons have truly inherited the Earth!
Some conspiracy theorists claim the Tohoku earthquake was man-made…
