Panel Removed from Fukushima Daiichi Unit 1


The Asahi Shimbun explains removal of the panel but notes that the fuel is not planned to be removed until 2020 from unit 1:
CHIKAKO KAWAHARA September 13, 2016 Fukushima plant building exposed as TEPCO opens old wounds. The Asahi Shimbun, http://www.asahi.com/ajw/articles/AJ201609130070.html

The panel dismantled that day measured 23 by 17 meters and weighed 20 tons.

…The plant operator said that it plans to be extra careful during the procedure. It will shroud the building in tarpaulins once the cover is removed as a precautionary measure against dust and other materials containing radioactive materials from being carried aloft by the wind.

  1. This year, I've seen pieces of fuel and assembly parts being lifted out of the CSFP and placed into reactor buildings 1 and 3. Majia,

    what is the likelihood that all 4 reactors and the CSFP are melted now and will continue to enter air, water, and soil, forever?

    Aside from the CSFP and R_1-2-3 reactor problems, the 'hot potato' reportedly was R-4, the one that, upon collapse, would create an unprecedented, ongoing, northern hemisphere disaster. Some think it vaporized in 2011, others think not. When we don't have access to accurate or current air, soil, water, and food radation counts and isotopes, how would we know? We'll know by the effects, over time, in the numbers of humans with early death caused by leukemias, heart attacks, strokes, lung cancer, early childhood disease, and genetic anomalies, within 5 to 10 years. Solid tumors show up within 10-16 years, depending on age and gender. The government and newsmen can't cover up the sick and dying numbers forever but they will try.

    The denial is deep regarding evidence that ongoing accumulation of radioactive isotope(s) decay is not viable for human survival on the planet! Within 2-3 generations of the nuclear exposed, genetic mutations increase by 100-fold, each year. We simply cannot believe, any longer, that nuclear-loving 'alpha wolves' are protecting us from harm. At the VERY LEAST, go out and buy a reverse osmosis water unit and make/take lipolyzed Vitamin C to counter the affects. We need to turn our panic and fear into awareness, understanding, and action.

    Majia, thank you for your website and informative articles! I think we are reliving the ancient stories of the 'Lost Book of Enki' about the Anunnaki. At one point, one of the Anunnaki leaders wanted to kill off the pesky human slaves that were created for mining gold Anunnaki infighting was preceeded by the political fallout of the intermingling of 'royals' with the human slaves and technical problems of mining on a foreign planet (same old samo). The story goes that the Anunnaki used nuclear weapons to destroy asteroids encountered in space travel. The nuclear cache was never to be brought to earth. Someone took the weapons and placed them in a secret cave on earth. The weapons were blown up after the secret was leaked of their whereabouts but the perpetrator did not know how devastating the destruction would be. Many fled the planet in the wake of the nuclear damage. Nowhere have I seen this story artistically rendered for people to gain perspective on the history of nuclear energy. What was ancient is now, what was the first will be the last.
