Three reactors at the Fukushima Dai’ichi nuclear power plant in Japan have suffered full core meltdowns breaking through the containment vessels and lying in a pool on the concrete floors. News reports from Japan but not reported widely in the US indicate that the fuel is now melting its way through the earth’s crust an event termed the China syndrome where once the superheated core hits groundwater intense pressure will fracture the surrounding earth venting of highly radioactive steam into the atmosphere.
Since Japan’s Fukushima Daiichi nuclear energy plant has reportedly released 20 times the radiation contamination amount of the Hiroshima bomb, and its molten core is sinking through the Earth’s crust, it appears to be in early stages of a “total China Syndrome meltdown” according to a Russia Today report Thursday during which Beyond Nuclear’s Paul Gunter answered why media is blacking out the catastrophe, as noted by numerous scientists, and he revealed the increasing threat of a nuclear explosion.
“The total amount of leakage [is] about 29.6 times the amount of contamination caused by the nuclear bomb dropped on Hiroshima. Assuming the source material to be uranium, we think the total amount of leakage to be about 20 times what was caused by the Hiroshima bomb.”
Those were among alarming words stated by Dr. Tatsuhiko Kodama, 58, head of the University of Tokyo Radioisotope Center Research Center for Advanced Science and Technology in Meguro-ku in an interview with The Mainichi Daily News on August 20.
