Fukushima nuclear plant explosion

[Pussy]

You mean..... blown away to inhabited land in the pacific

Strictly speaking, an east wind will be blowing FROM the Pacific.
Wind direction is always expressed in "From".

So hopefully most of the radioactive dust and steam will blow away to sea.

Mothra will NOT be happy..........

Karma......?????

Yep. It's a bitch.

No, I don't mean that. The Pacific ocean to the east of Japan is vast and empty. Any radioactive particles will mix into the atmosphere or precipitate with rain into the ocean. There are always radioactive particles in the air and water, its part of the natural world.

Studies around Bikini Atoll found that the fish had relatively low levels of radiation after the hydrogen bomb tests finished.

The isotopes which have vented from the explosion are short-lived, the exceptions being Caesium (30 years) and Iodine (59 days). Some of the latter have been detected which indicates damage to the reactor core. Nevertheless that doesn't mean the reactor containment vessel is damaged, only that it had to be vented to release pressure.

In fact at this stage, the disaster is looking like a remarkable tick for nuclear reactor safety. If there was ever going to be a catastrophic nuclear incident this was it: a Richter 8.9 earthquake, a tsunami, and a cooling system failure - on an old plant - should have done the job. But not so far.

ok here , bit off a cough , but we have these



Seem to work

Bloody good point.

update - wind is blowing east from fukushima out to sea. That is the prevailing wind direction and the reason japanese nuclear plants are built on the east coasts of japan. So hopefully most of the radioactive dust and steam will blow away to sea.

ive seen the future and it is three eyed fish like in the simpsons

flee for your lives!!!!!

look at a map, budday.

probably not on topic, but a guy i was working with yesterday had an interesting observation.

he said "if we keep taking billions of barrels of oil out surely the planet will become like a balloon that is 1/4 filled with water."


he's no genius but i think he might have a point.

...think you may find it comes from porous rock and shale deposits that dont really leave big holes under there when its removed and replaced by water etc...

The winds from Japan blows over to the USA(There a name for it i can`t remember), they sent bombs on balloons during the war some made it.

Karma......?????

Yep. It's a bitch.

I really, really hope I'm wrong but I hope you two aren't suggesting this current generation is receiving karma for the previous generation's attack on Pearl Harbour.

Because, I'm pretty sure their karma quota was filled with Hiroshima and Nagasaki's 60,000 - 166,000's deaths versus Pearl Harbour's 1250 deaths.

Unbelievable to even utter the word Karma in this situation.

Just a couple of idiots looking for a bite. Ignore them.

I've often wondered just how much lubricating effect that deep seated oil fields may provide for the movement of the earth's crust.

Certainly food for thought.

Maybe try a combination of Ken Ring and KY Jelly?
