Is it finallly time for japan to give up on the stricken fukushima nuclear reactor?

Horseshoe Bend

Should they Consider burying it in concrete like they did with Chernobyl? Coulld i pease have your reasons as to why or why not?



Fountain Springs

Nuke it from orbit, it's the only way too be sure....wait

Should people in the us flee to countries that arent in the path of the radiation plumes from japan?

Raritan

Radiation has already reached hundreds of miles from the nuclear plant with just a small leak. If there is a meltdown in 3 reactors, it will be the wost nuclear disaster this world has ever seen, and the radiation will be forced eastward into the US by the Jet Stream. Maybe not levels that will lead to immediate, acute radiation deaths, but definitely cancers and long term health problems.



Sparta

You can run but you can't hide!



Kennebunkport

I doubt any country would take us.



South Amherst

o_O... you're worried about a radiation fallout which in all likely hood might be no-worst than talking on a cellphone for a few hours. chernobyl was 20x worst and people are fine (outside of the danger zone). if you want to worry about something, consider every square mile of the pacific has garbage in it and there is a plastic toxic zone the size of texas there. or that many car companies are still fighting alternative fuel vehicles to further their own pockets.



Lenhartsville

Yes....you go first, OK? I'll be right behind you.



Rolla

Sure, get in your car and drive as fast as you can to get away from the radiation. When you die in the wreck you will probably cause you won't have to worry anymore.



Maiden Rock

Good luck finding somewhere that'll take however many millions of people live in the USA. Stop worrying, levels have plummeted now but the media want you to think there is still a danger or they have no news worth reporting.

I tried Canada, but they wouldn't have me.

Should an air strike be launched against the reactor?

Macon

Recently, an earthquake struke Japan and hit the Fukushima nuclear reactor. As a upshot, the kindling rods in the reactor could overheat and caused baleful radiations to spill dhe beans absent. Do you conjure up the Japanes military be obliged launch ambience strikes remonstrate with the reactor to annul it completely to prevent the let slip. The notably reason gorged is a squeak is because (based hand down what I skilled in) the metal fuel rods could not be cooled by water. As a result radioactive cordon reaction continues to take place mention the rod and overheat. If an air strike were to disloyal to launched reprove the reactor, it would blow the reactor into pieces. There will then be no shore up aueue reaction increased by whether another disastrous shedding formed. Would this be possible?



Waseca

Sure except for then you would have a large irradiated area that is uninhabitable and covered in radioactive debris, not to mention the loss of a multi-million dollar reactor.



Johnstown

an air strike would be the worst thing possible... it would release masive amounts of radioisotopes into the environment. There would be no "containment" if explosions were enacted. in a word "WRONG"



Bedford

I don't think that would be a good idea. Even if a chain reaction doesn't occur where do you think all that radiation will go? You can't destroy it, it'll go straight up into the atmosphere and get blown around the world.



Logan

Clearly, you have NO IDEA how radiation works. The rods are hot BY THEMSELVES. There is NO REACTION. It's exothermic from the radiation. So even if you *do* blow it up, it'll STILL boil water, except now instead of ONE pile you can contain, cover, cool, you have bazillion pieces that can blow away in the wind and affect far more people.



Sankertown

I keep saying that this whole thing is not as bad as the TV is telling you but if someone blew up the containment for the reactor it may would be as bad as they are telling us.



Pinehurst

"it would blow the reactor into pieces", thereby releasing the existing radiation into the atmosphere.



Valparaiso

hell that would be like dropping the atomic bomb all over again



Sylvania

the reason there is radiation is because it creates atomic fission and when it gets to hot it begans to become unstable and release radiation because particules began to fly off so if the airstrike happened you would not do anything you cant just burn radiation away and it would just release the unstable peices of uranium 235 everywhere spreading radiation so no
