Now They Do it?! It Could Have Saved Weeks Of Radiation!

This really makes me mad! Japan said a few weeks ago that they wouldn't do this and now they are? I agree that they should but why did they REALLY wait? This was the best idea at the end of week one when everyone knew it was over for saving the plant. Now they use the Chernobyl option. It is better late then never but come on! Why would they let it leak for weeks? chronicle.augusta.com...

NOW THEY DO IT?!?!?!?! IT COULD HAVE SAVED WEEKS OF RADIATION!

almost like it's...........pre-meditated :O

Agreed! How are people still missing this stuff?

I started this the other day OP: At What Point Do We Begin Dumping Concrete?!

Because it did its job.That radiation cloud has already circumvented the globe..we are all irradiated. And you don't have to believe me or anyone..Its true. You, me everyone in the u.s. is "infected"..they caused the oil spill killing off all sea life on the coasts..next they killed off many birds more fish and cattle all over the world..now they infected us all with radiation as well as the water tables and land...they are doing this so we don't stand a chance against what is coming next.."The event" those who survive will be left with a planet that does not bare food..no fish to eat, no cattle to kill..checkmate.

Oh sweet ...
Now they are going to encase a white hot object that they have been cooling with water (apparently) which produces steam.... Mmmm
Call me crazy but that does not sound like a great idea .... were they not just saying how they can't cool it enough to do this?
I might finish my "Go" kit this weekend

I don't think you really read the article or read what it is saying.

They aren't going to start pumping concrete, or building any type of containment facilities until it is cooled. The truck that is going now is going to pump water until it's cooled, and then be used to pump concrete. There are already 4 smaller trucks from the same company there now, pumping water.

No weeks of radiation would be "saved". You cannot contain and seal until it is cooled.

I have read a few articals about how they are getting ready to start cementing it. but either way why NOW send it over to help cool it down and not last week or the week before?

Are they really going to sit it there to pump water for 3 to 4 years? Well that was the last estimation i read.
That could be a false estimate too I am aware
just seems, well, daft and pointless

I don't really know if thats the plan, but from what I understand it has to be cool before it can be sealed. So I'm sure they are going to be trying various methods for as long as it takes.

Not cooling it would cause a further catastrophic reaction.

yep made me mad as hell too since after i saw the explosions on tv a day or two after the event, i was pretty much sure that place was a gonner, and only paid attention to the media to see how long it took them to admit the meltdown.

as the situation played out i came to realize that the delays were structured for a reason or reasons and i would like to highlight some possible reasons for why the delays, and why now disclose the truth?

before i list the reasons understand that the elite of japan knew from day one that the meltdown was going to occur and there was no way to save the plants from meltdown and no way to contain the damage

first, the initial delay was to allow all of the elite and corporate rulers to vacate the northern area and japan too. the first order was to remain in place and do not clog the broken roads with refugees...this lasted about 2 or 3 days.

second, the delays of truth telling were structured to save the nuclear power industry, and tepco from lawsuits. if you recall, day two the japanese central bank flooded their markets with about 220 billion dollars, now up to about 330 billion or so, and they are still buying all available stocks for sale to maintain their markets as long as they can.

third, the nuclear power industry GE and others manufacturing such facilities is a very large business employing millions and paying huge salaries, not to mention stock and bond values...to admit to a meltdown would erode any confidence in these stocks, so japan had to buy some time for the media to spin the story that radiation is actually good for us, rather than a killer.

forth, after the first week or so, maybe ten days out, suddenly the media went silent and banished the 'meltdown' word from any reports on mainstream media and this was to buy time for a solution to be found to keep up the value of nuclear stocks and bonds, but it was too much to save germany and their government which was voted out last week in favor of the green party movement.

so... in conclusion it is my opinion that the true effects and affects of this meltdown was known from day one and the truth was deliberately hidden from us to keep and maintain an agenda of corporate rulers on top and common man on the bottom...the irony is that the japanese were always held to a higher standard, but in the end, we common men and folks are all expendable and the corporate rulers and elite will save their sorry asses first before anyone else...and it don't matter which country you are from.

imagine the church opening their doors for radiation victims...isn't that the fellow man thing the church is so proud of...it won't ever happen, in fact, the vatican is suspiciously silent on the entire incident...preferring to concentrate on donations and easter too

...after two or three days when these folks left

I'm not sure, I guess you would have to contact the company involved and ask them the question. According to the article there are 4 smaller versions already there, as well as other vehicles from other companies, and more en route.

I'm sure they will have supplies and equipment in place whenever for whenever the containment process is set to begin, that doesn't necessarily mean it will be next week. That seems to make more sense than waiting for it to be cool, then asking for concrete trucks and other equipment.

Yes it does .... erm Boron and concrete once the thing is cool enough - but when is that and *facepalm*
This thing is kinda depressing - I just had lunch with a friend and had to describe what was going on and watch the blood drain from his face
Anyway - back on subject - If they encase it hot with no means of cooling then yes BOOM!
or pump water at it - which will have to go back into the environment full of rads like now - for perhaps years before they can seal it - It is pear shaped (sooo want to use another word)

Either way there have been loads of experts that say they have been handleing this all wrong.

I'm no nuclear expert by any means, and I'm doing my best to get as educated on the entire matter as I can. But for me it doesn't all look to great to be honest, and I'm a little bit worried as to how it all might turn out, to say the least.

I was just trying to clear up that they weren't going to immediately start pumping concrete or doing any containment measures.

here's a question...when exactly do you plan on this event happening?

I'd like to know because i don't buy it personally so I'd like to know when I can wake up amused when it doesn't happen.

Well in the next few years there are alot of diff options. given none of them are "likely" but there are alot back to back

It should have been done sooner
