Atomic Energy Doubted
Globally intensive discussions are going on about the Fukushima nuclear power plant tragedy.
Even safety of Tokyo is focused on as some reports on vegetable contamination and seawater radioactive-influence are flowing widely in and outside Japan.
Yet, the core of the issue is about how much the pressure vessels where nuclear fuel is set can endure and how much the spent-fuel cooling pools can sustain its function.
When electricity from an external power source is provided each of four reactor units of the Fukushima No.1 Nuclear Power Plant, a clear answer will be obtained. So, we need still a little more time.
PART 22-16:
Electricity from an outside power source is now provided for Central Control Room of the 3rd reactor unit of the Fukushima No.1 Nuclear Power Plant.
Other units will have it to operate pumps for cooling fuel in the pressure vessels and the storage pools.
PART 22-15:
The 1st reactor unit of the Fukushima No.1 Plant was completed in 1971 with an expected scope of operation for 10 years.
It was originally intended to be closed down in 1981 but continued to operate till 2011.
Discussion Thread – Japanese nuclear reactors and the 11 March 2011 earthquake
Posted on 12 March 2011 by Barry Brook
At one plant, the 40-year old Fukushima Daiichi (unit #1 opened in 1971), the backup diesel generators supply power to the core cooling system failed (apparently due to damage from the tsunami). This allowed pressure to build up in at least one of the reactors cores to about 50% higher than normal (unit 1), and requires venting of very mildly radioactive steam (contains trace levels of tritium).

PART 22-14:
Nuclear energy should not be used for electricity generation as a major mean in the electric utility industry.
N-Tech, No Way
Mickey / 15 March 2011 / Commentary, Events, News
And three, because of N-tech’s potential to be hazardous, despite safety measures. All it needs is a tsunami to blow the reactor off the charts.
Japan is reliving pains of historical proportions. Only that this time, it is due to their civilian nuclear energy plants not being able to withstand the recent Sendai earthquake and tsunami.

PART 22-13:
The Magnitude 9.0 earthquake, the hundreds kilometer long tsunami, and the Fukushima Daiichi (No.1) Nuclear Plant malfunction have inflicted a big blow on Japan. Yet, there is no assurance that the U.S. can be exempted from similar triple calamities.

Maps of the United States nuclear power plants show many lie along dangerous earthquake zones. There are four nuclear power plants in Southern California, at least one (the Diablo Canyon power plant) rests right next to the ocean like the Fukushima plant in Japan.

PART 22-12:
The Nuclear Energy Agency, part of the international Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, said radiation from the plant was likely to reach everywhere in the northern hemisphere but in extremely small quantities.

PART 22-11:
Harmful rumors of radioactive contamination alienate farmers in Fukushima and Ibaraki Prefectures from accessing consumers. Their vegetables without contamination are rejected in market around Tokyo.
PART 22-10:
The number of locations on roads broken or damaged is 1300 in the disaster-affected area of northeast Japan.
PART 22-9:
TEPCO said: Central Control Room of the 3rd reactor unit and the pump of the 2nd unit of Fukushima No.1 Plant to have electricity tonight.
PART 22-8:
Iodine 131 was found in the ground 40 km north of the Fukushima Plant to be 400 times larger than a normal concentration value.
PART 22-7:
The number of evacuees from the disaster-affected area of northeast Japan is now 310,000.
PART 22-6:
Many volunteers contribute radiation measurement to a collective reporting site:

PART 22-5:
The number of houses and buildings totally or partially damaged and destroyed is about 130,000 in this 3/11 Great Disaster of Japan.
PART 22-4:
A Thai Air force plane has carried Thai people out of Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture, to Thailand.
PART 22-3:
US C-17 air carriers conveyed 93 tons of supplies while a Japan's Air Force C-130s 20 tons of goods to Sendai Airport on Sunday.
PART 22-2:
Fukushima City (80 Km from the power plant) shows 156 times larger; Tokyo (250 Km) shows 3 times larger radiation than normal, most recently, according a TV news report at 0:35 p.m.
PART 22-1:
A little high radiation level was measured on the sea surface around the Fukushina Nuclear Power Plant.
