Japan Suspends Work at Stricken Nuclear Plant
science and technology can only develop the solutions. The solutions can not work unless we are willing to apply them. This takes individual resolve to follow recommended policies and procedures, compliance with local ordinances, and holding polluting individuals and businesses to account and applying stiff consequences
Recommended solution;
The fuel rods need to be covered with a surficants to trap the radiation. To spray water onto the storage pool will allow it to spread radiation into steam released in the area .

“The country should find a way to help support them,”
Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano said that along with the helicopter water drops, special police units would use water cannons – normally used to quell rioters – to spray water onto the Unit 3 storage pool. The high-pressure water cannons will allow emergency workers to stay farther away.
Emergency workers were forced to temporarily retreat from the plant Wednesday when radiation levels soared, losing precious time. While the levels later dropped, they were still too high to let workers get close.
Two Japanese military CH-47 Chinook helicopters began dumping seawater on the complex’s damaged Unit 3 at 9:48 a.m. (0048 GMT, 8:48 p.m. EDT), defense ministry spokeswoman Kazumi Toyama said. The choppers dumped at least four loads on the reactor in just the first 10 minutes, though television footage showed much of it appearing to disperse in the wind.
Chopper crews were flying missions of about 40 minutes each to limit their radiation exposure, passing over the reactor with loads of about 2,000 gallons of water.
The water drops were aimed at cooling the Unit 3 reactor, as well as replenishing water in that unit’s cooling pool, where used fuel rods are stored, Toyama said. The plant’s owner, Tokyo Electric Power Co., said earlier that pool was nearly empty, which would cause the rods to overheat and emit even more radiation.
Defense Minister Toshifumi Kitazawa told reporters that emergency workers had no choice but to try the water dumps before it was too late
Tokyo Electric executives said Thursday that they believed the rods in that pool were covered with water, but an official with Japan’s nuclear safety agency later expressed skepticism about that and moved closer to the U.S. position.
“Considering the amount of radiation released in the area, the fuel rods are more likely to be exposed than to be covered,” Yuichi Sato said.
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Chairman Gregory Jaczko said at a congressional hearing in Washington that all the water was gone from that unit’s spent fuel pool. Jaczko said anyone who gets close to the plant could face potentially lethal doses of radiation.
“We believe radiation levels are extremely high,” he said.
“I’ve worked around radiation, and it’s scary,” Stanton Friedman, a retired nuclear physicist with General Electric, told AOL News today.
“You try to be careful, but it sure isn’t easy and it sure isn’t fun. These people are working a disaster within a disaster. They got clobbered. First the earthquake, then the tsunami took out their generators. You can be sure they feel a huge sense of responsibility to fix this, but they are in a tough spot. They’re professionals, but they’re probably terrified too.”with wesdom They’res no fear!
