Gundersen: Very Visible Steam at Fukushima Unit 3 is from Constant Radioactive Releases

(FUKUSHIMA) - Fairewinds Energy Education, Jan. 1, 2014: [...] the Internet has been flooded with conjecture claiming that Fukushima Daiichi Unit 3 is ready to explode. Fairewinds Energy Education has been inundated with questions about the very visible steam emanating from Fukushima Daiichi Unit 3. [...] Hot water vapor has been released daily by each of the four Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plants since the accident. We believe that is one of the reasons TEPCO placed covers over Daiichi 4 and 1. [...] radioactive rubble (fission products) was left in each unit [...] heat from this ongoing decay of radioactive rubble is constantly releasing moisture (steam) and radioactive products into the environment. [...] [Unit 3] is still producing slightly less than 1 megawatt (one million watts) of decay heat [...] it is creating radioactive steam [...] hot radioactive releases [...] have occurring [sic] for the entire 33 months [...] The difference now is that the only time we visibly notice these ongoing releases is on the cold days [...]

The Ecologist reported on this unsubstantiated rumor which was then used as a source by ‘Gizmodo. The Ecologist has now changed their original report without any notice or explanation.Here’s the original ending: “The Turner Radio Network is advising people on the West Coast of North America to”prepare for the worst” in case a meltdown of the waste fuel is in fact commencing. No official warnings have been released on either side of the Pacific.”

Here’s how it ends now: “According to a Fairewinds Energy Education posting on Facebook, the reactor is currently producing about 1 MW of heat, equivalent to 1,000 1KW electric fires, so enough to produce plenty of steam. This would provide the least worrying explanation for the steam, in that as the radioactivity continues decline so will the heat production and the volume of steam produced. If this explanation is correct, there is no reason expect any catastrophic outcome. However the steam is carrying considerable amounts of radiation into the atmosphere and represents an ongoing radiation hazard.”

I certainly would not waste my time worrying about this situation. I would of course be concerned with the balkanization of America that Obama's controllers are dialing up. I suggest a look at the current breaking news at Drudgereport to see how little time progressive liberal have left...haha
Not worried about nuclear contamination? You should have stayed in school.

Just remember that the industry will do and say anything to minimize their role in this ongoing disaster, the money grubbing republicans are to blame.

Although I find it difficult, I can't help agreeing with ol' Anonymous. We have an annual crying fit over Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but it looks like the Japs have finally got even. They'll end up by killing sll of us - including themselves.
I've resisted buying a freakin' Toyota all these years, but this is the final humiliation.

The bottom line, given all this pseudo-scientific bafflegab, is that nobody really knows what's going on, as to atmospheric contamination and.or water radioactive pollution. It's likely that the Pacific Ocean will be dead before this nonsense has played out (if it isn't already), as may be the 100 million Japanese people, and - eventually - all of us. Meanwhile, the world slumbers on, immersed in baseball scores and Congressional polittical wrangling.

THIS SUCKS FOR THE COUNTRIES NOT EVEN ENVOLVED, THAT JAPAN CANT EVEN CONTROL THEIR OWN NUKLIER DEVICES. COME ON PEOPLE FIGURE OUT ANOTHER WAY INSTEAD OF KILLING OFF THE WORLD LITTLE BY LITTLE. THERE HAS TO BE ANOTHER WAY!!!!
