Thread Name: BS: Japan Nuclear plant disaster, 2011
Subject: RE: BS: Nuclear plant disaster looming
Pressure pump motors are being replaced in No. 2 Fukushima Daiichi, destroyed or fried by quake and/or electrical malfunction. Contradictory reports about high radiation stopping work at that reactor is now reported as a miscommunication.
Very high temperatures recorded at no. 1 and 3. Very disturbing.

Rebuildng of power lines to the reactors at the complex only the beginning of the repairs which must be made to stabilize the reactors, which probably be permanently closed down once that is done.

Appearance of radioactivity in Tokyo water is disturbing. The sources are the Tonegawa (NE Tokyo), Arakawa and Tama River systems, combined with managed forests in Tokyo and Yamanashi (west of Tokyo) Prefectures. Only 0.2 % of the water is groundwater.
Usage 6.3 million cubic meters/day.
