CaptD Nuclear Ninja: Nuclear News Is Never Just Accepted
The truth is that TEPCO is playing a delay or 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 start N☢W and:
1. Move every remaining fuel rod (spent or otherwise) in the complex to off site locations far away from Fukushima ASAP. This will reduce the potential problems of radioactive pollution!
2. Start drilling core holes uphill from the holed reactors in an effort to reach the groundwater and then pump it out before it reaches the corium(s), in effect creating a "dry" buffer around the corium(s).
3. Immediately fill-in th breakwater and start construction on a "coffer dam" that would then allow them to pump seawater away from the holed reactors that would prevent seawater from contacting the corium(s) in effect creating another "dry" buffer around the corium(s).
4. Open the site to International experts to make better additional assessments!
---> Waiting will only save TEPCO money, but not save Japan (or the World) from the risk of Global radioactive pollution!
