McFaul 35 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 It's interesting that the Japs are appearing to want little help or guidance from international specialists. Obvious to say but it seems like things could be a lot more serious than what we've even been told so far. Cleaner energy my arse. We have the resources in the world to harness wind, I don't care what anyone says it is NOT impossible to fuck off this nuclear energy and oil. We won't as a race though because there's too much money involve. The nuclear power stations are all disasters waiting to happen. Even Sellafield, am nee scientist but I bet it's not impossible for terrorists to fuck it up, and we're such a small country that would be that.

Kevin S. Assilleekunt 1 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 It's not so much nuclear power that's the big problem, it's nuclear facilities within a short distance of fault lines: that's a disaster waiting to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Park Life 71 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 The Chernobyl stuff was like fairy green liquid compared to this, even as much as one more rumble could cause the world to explode. So I've been told anyway, from P. Won't be funny if one does blow. Death toll would be high and ongoing depending on the air currents. They are trying to cool react 1 with seawater ffs!! This alone is last ditch stuff... No I agree with you tbh, there is inevitably going to be powerful earthquakes at some point in that region. The two reactors on the coast are within pretty close range of the quake, the strongest rumbles caught them. I know it was a gentle scold. The problem might be that there will be another biggish quake and that is why the Germans and French are telling their people to get out of Tokyo. I really never realised how many nuke power stations jpn had on such a small quake prone landmass. Madness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be wanting to hide the enormity of the problems. For certain the japs will be playing it down to avoid mass panic. They don't have much farmland either so nuke leaks will wipe out the food supply pretty fast along with fishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trophyshy 6443 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 A former adviser on radiation to the UK government, Dr Christopher Busby, has told the BBC the situation at the nuclear plants is extremely serious. "Particularly concerning is the [Fukushima] number three reactor which I understand is in trouble now, because... it runs on a different sort of fuel; it doesn't run on uranium, it runs on a mixed uranium plutonium fuel, and plutonium is an extremely serious hazard so if this stuff comes out then it's going to make what's happened so far, in terms of the tsunami damage, look a little bit like an entrée to the real course." from the beeb.

Park Life 71 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 (edited) Japans debt is 200% of gdp. Either way this baby is one more quake from gone. "But analysts are worried about the earthquake's impact on the country's fiscal situation specifically. It is a fair concern: Japan's books do not look very good. Its public debt is 228 percent of GDP, compared with 144 percent for Greece and 77 percent for the United Kingdom. Moreover, the country's politicians have failed to tackle the debt crisis, given that borrowing costs remain so low, despite warnings from ratings agencies. In January, Standard and Poor's cut Japan's long-term sovereign debt rating, saying politicians had no real plan to bring the country back into the black and worrying debt levels "will continue to rise further than we envisaged before the global economic recession hit the country and will peak only in the mid-2020s."

Renton 18051 Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Strikes me that things are shit enough in Japan without people conjuring up some hysterical bollocks about impending nuclear catastrophe, all delivered with a smug dose of schadenfreude. The residual material will cool off in a few days leaving Japan with a very expensive clear up operation. I don't know how Japan wil cope with this economically, terrible times.
