Hmmm.....TEPCO Quietly Admits Reactor 3 Could Be Melting Down.

Hmmm.....TEPCO Quietly Admits Reactor 3 Could Be Melting Down.(AV).

Toyko Electric Power Company (TEPCO), the Japanese energy company, has confirmed that mysterious plumes of steam have been rising from the devastated remains of Reactor Building 3 at the Fukushima nuclear plant. This means there is a better-than-even chance Fukushima could be experiencing yet another meltdown.

Also, as has been widely reported, TEPCO recently tried moving some radioactive water from one tank to another. In the process, it spilled four tons of deadly radioactive sludge onto the surrounding grounds.
That four tons of slurry, sludge and water, however, pales in comparison to the 300 tons of radioactive water that also recently leaked from a nearby tank directly into the ocean.

Still, amazingly, the radiation levels in this most recently leaked/spilled water are relatively low compared to puddles that have been forming outside all tanks beginning about six weeks ago.

And if that is not bad enough, a tropical storm is headed to the area, which will cause even more radioactive leaks.


The plant's primary leak is continually worsening rather than getter smaller. That is, it has never been properly contained and continues to contaminate the surrounding area.

As for the unexplained rising steam, no one knows its precise cause since the almost total physical destruction of the plant and, more ominously, the highly lethal radiation levels have rendered investigating the stricken reactor impossible.

It is known, however, that the Reactor 3 fuel storage pond still harbors (tenuously) about 89 tons of plutonium-based mixed-oxide fuel, according to the The Ecologist. If that fuel storage pond dries out, the highly radioactive rods will melt down and precipitate uncontrollable and unimaginable devastation, engulfing and contaminating the northern half of Japan (including Tokyo). And, depending on wind and sea currents, there will be a serious potential for radioactive contamination of the entire planet.

 There are also mounting reports and fears that the US mainstream media are not reporting that nuclear radiation from Fukushima has not only permeated most of the Pacific Ocean, but has reached our West Coast. Indeed, fish and wildlife from Alaska to South America have been affected, as well as fauna as far inland as Utah.Hmmmm....Just remember the Chernobyl cover up and you'll know how much is 'hidden' now.Read the full story here.
