Japan hit by 8.9 earthquake w/tsunami

Japan reactor has fatally high radiation, no water - Yahoo! News

 

Japan has now shut down the last of its reactors, and may no longer be using nuclear power.

news link

 

it also read that they are asking to restart some other nuclear plants.?

i hope they do not overreact and will fail and so others can point out that there is nor way out off nuclear power for now
i hope they will get the job done!!

 

Yes. The article says Japan is not using any nuclear power at the moment, for the first time in 40 years. Apparently a few reactors are ready to be restarted, but that requires local approval, and public opinion is very much against it.

 

Now they have evidence of consequenses...









Deformed Vegetables, Fruit Reportedly Pop Up Around Japan Nuclear Plant - Yahoo! News

2 years after nuclear disaster, Japan spawns freaky veggies [UPDATE]

4 days ago
It might be wise to steer clear of vegetables from Japan's Fukushima area for, oh, say a few hundred years. A Korean website assembled this image collection of produce from towns and villages surrounding the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. And they are NOT pretty pictures. From Siamese-twinned corn cobs to what can only be called peaches with elephantiasis, the region's agriculture appears to have taken a heavy radiation hit from the nuclear disaster in 2011. It's not clear yet what effect eating the produce might have on the population, but you never know. It could be pretty dangerous, but you never know — in an ideal world, maybe it could give you superpowers. [Source] [Source]
CORRECTION: A post on a website in Japan reports that these images aren’t related to the Fukushima disaster. We regret passing along the misinformation.

 

Another 7.3 magnitude off the coast in about the same spot this morning for Japan.

 

True enough... I was just surprised it barely hit the media radar. With fukushima npp still unstable...

 

Thread resurrection...

60 Minutes on 11/25/18 ran an interesting story on Fukushima and some of the robots being used to go inside the reactor buildings where it's too dangerous for humans.

I think Robots come to the rescue after Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster has all of it. I'm guessing it'll eventually end up behind a paywall.

 

Holy Carp.

Every time somebody does a Boris Karloff on this thread I see it and think......AGAIN?!

 

The last time I watched this show, Dian Sawyer was still reporting. How long ago was that???

 

What a gargantuan, ongoing expense.

 

Long LONG time ago!
Pre 'fake-news'

how about.........1989!!

 

That's sound about right. I use to like Andy Rooney clips.

Indeed. I did a quick Google search for tepco fukushima and found Fukushima Daiichi Decommissioning Project | TEPCO. There's quite a bit of info there and I won't have time to go through most of it for awhile.
