remember how many died in japan's 2011 tsunami? about 18000 if i remember correctly. there is compelling evidence now present that it might have been a sabotage. especially the fact that fukushima is all hush hush and covered up dont serve them any purpose. anyone interested can take a look here:
http://www.jimstonefreelance.com/fukureport1b.pdfI was watching Fukushima like a hawk as it unfolded. There is no reason to believe other than that a natural tsunami damaged the power systems needed to control the plants and they melted down.
Prior to Fukushima I basically bought the propaganda that even these old BW (boiling water) designs were safe in that they would shut down safely in all circumstances but deliberate and involved sabotage. That was dead wrong. We see now that these plants can do
nothing other than experience a core meltdown if they lose power.
Worse still, even an un-fueled plant of this design (of which we have plenty here in the U.S.) can and will suffer a spent fuel pool fire in the simple absense of loss of power if it persists long enough, or in the event that a sufficiently large hole in the pool container is produced. These pools hold many years worth of cooling spent fuel. Our Western design geniuses use this design (spent fuel on the roof) because it makes fuel rod handling cheaper.
Something I already knew is that in most ways a nuclear power facility is much more dangerous than a nuclear weapon because a weapon needs to be deliverable and thus contains MUCH less radioactive material by mass.
Even before Diachi-3 (burning MOX fuel containing plutonium) exploded I was arguing that it should be deliberately demolished because it was much better to have shattered material around the site than fire atomized material going into the atmosphere. I could not help but notice that the U.S. helped out be sending in a barge with 'water' in a small-ish tote container to 'help with cooling'. Not long after (iirc) there was an explosion which was absolutely not a hydrogen explosion (as Diachi-1 probably was) and fractured fuel rods strewn around the site. I still don't know if they came from the core or the pools, but they came from one or the other. If they demo'd Diachi-3 it was a heroic effort which may well have saved Tokyo and it would be a shame that whoever performed it did not get appropriate recognition.
edit: plural meltdowns
