The 13 measured neutron beams may be evidence that uranium and plutonium leaked from the plant’s nuclear reactors and spent nuclear fuels have discharged a small amount of neutron beams through nuclear fission. english.kyodonews.jp Tokyo Electric Power Co. said Wednesday, March 23, it has observed a neutron beam, a kind of radioactive ray, 13 times on the premises of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant after it was crippled by the massive March 11 quake-tsunami disaster. TEPCO, the operator of the nuclear plant, said the neutron beam measured about 1.5 kilometers southwest of the plant’s No. 1 and 2 reactors over three days from March 13 and is equivalent to 0.01 to 0.02 microsieverts per hour and that this is not a dangerous level. The utility firm said it will measure uranium and plutonium, which could emit a neutron beam, as well. In the 1999 criticality accident at a nuclear fuel processing plant run by JCO Co. in Tokaimura, Ibaraki Prefecture, uranium broke apart continually in nuclear fission, causing a massive amount of neutron beams. * Observation from Scientist Susan Rennison: “Have the Japanese been caught out by spy satellites? A meltdown occurs when the control rods fail to contain nuclear reactions in the form of neutron emission and so heat levels inside the reactor rises to a point where the fuel itself melts. This is the level, where neutron beams can be observed. When a nuclear chain reaction occurs, neutrons bombard atoms of the nuclear fuel, splitting …

The Japanese do not willingly admit when they have fucked up and for them to admit that they have detected Neutron Beams… what horrific event are they NOT admitting to now?
they made them so that they could provide themselves with cheap power. too expensive to export power from other places eg russia, the US, or some shizz like that.
it is clear that awareness is growing that corporations are not entities that promote health and well-being for the vast majority of people and creatures who live on this planet, but like the despots the people of Northern Africa are trying to throw off of their backs, they will not go quietly. Both corporations and kings (and presidents) rely heavily on LIES and violence when the lies are challenged. I am sorry for those who have and will suffer for this delusion of “clean” energy.
,, Not only that,, the chances of the world eventually getting too toxic for humanity through radioactive contamination are clearly 100%. Those who’re responsible must know it because they’ve constructed connected underground cities, labs and bases where they must be planning to stay almost indefinitely until it’s safe enough for them to come back up into newly construct sealed glass domes on the outside above their entrance shafts. OK..I’m just guessing about the glass domes, LOL.
That was so funny that I could only laugh at the truth of the joke. Very nice. Tragically ironic.
@anavywife28 Exactly! Also, those corporations probably got government subsidies so that’s our tax dollars to build those plants. Then, when a disaster happens, they want us to donate to charities to help the victims. The corporations should be held liable for every penny of relief effort plus environmental damage, which of course, is beyond calculation.
My heart is breaking, is aching for the Japanese people. There in the danger zone and here, worrying and grieving for those so far away.
THIS BOILS DOWN TO HUMANKIND SHOWING HOW GREEDY AND INCONSIDERATE WE ARE AS A SPECIES….THINK ABOUT IT… SOME MONEY HUNGRY ASSHOLE WHO HAD THE FINANCIAL ABILITY TO BUILD A NUCLEAR PLANT HAS PUT LIVES AND EARTH AT RISK
If they haven’t been able to bring the reactors back to complete control after 2 weeks 24/7, they never will.
What are those plumes of smoke? Zirconium fuel rods blowing up?
Where is going to all the sea water that they are pouring on the reactors? Back to the sea, or in the ground, transporting its load of radioactive material.
Isn’t sea water corrosive? Especially at high temperature?
I think what happens in full meltdown is the molten mass of nuclear fuel melts through the bottom of the steel chamber and goes down in what was once called “The China Syndrome” but instead of really melting all the way through the Earth the molten mass would come into contact with water of some form and a steam explosion would send everything blasting into the sky.
We should know when this happens if it does. It will not be good.
i agree with you :rotagen:…i too think they just said fuck helpin them…
The aliens, if they exist, have right about now written us off. We’re uninsurable. A dying subplanet in terminal stages of stupidity.
If this really and truly does completely melt down and becomes multiple uncontrolled fission sites, then you will not be flying to or over Japan IMHO. If they manage to put the brakes on this, or reduce the release of airborne contaminants, then they will probably just keep the airspace over the reactors closed.
Plutonium is just an element, it is a heavy metal. You could walk right past a plutonium or uranium pellet and never even notice it.
That’s right, regular radiation detectors will not pick up the neutrons, just the secondary ionizations and decays after the neutron hits something. These neutrons are like billiard balls traveling at light speed hitting other billiard balls and marbles at rest. They do a lot of damage! No one wants to get caught in a neutron field, and when it is coming out in a beam it is just like someone shining a laser at you, unless you look in the right place you never know that it is there
Yes the rods have busted wide open. I stopped reporting on this stuff 4 a bit, because I felt that the Japanese had a worst case scenario already in progress. Japan, and the ocean(which means us as well, especially since that area of the seas is where the majority of our seafood is shipped from) are now having exponentially accumulating heavy radioactive particles(tritium cesium radioactive iodine, plutonium, uranium, etc. Imo, all of Japan should have been evacuateda week ago. thumbs up.
… So are you saying that the publicized radiation readings being reported do not take any of this into consideration? I understand that plutonium detection require special equipment. Is that so?
… Do you think this could effect air travel routes above Japan, too?
The presence of neutron beams mean that there is uncontrolled nuclear fission in progress outside of the normal shielding, in other words it is almost certain that the reactor meltdowns are in progress and that a significant amount of fission is taking place. Anything metallic that is caught in one of these beams for any length of time will become radioactive itself. That includes the firetrucks and other equipment that is being used to cool the reactors. It also includes ground minerals.
This is very bad news. You must have a special detector to even read neutron radiation rates, and it is a tricky and dangerous process. Neutron radiation causes about 10X more damage to your body that gamma radiation alone. The neutrons eventually get slowed down by ramming into, and ionizing other atoms until they are eventually absorbed by one of these atoms. This absorption changes that atom into something else, and it is usually unstable. Common objects can thus become radioactive.
Insight from a former nuclear power plant operator: “They could try to build a mountain over the reactors, but if they can not stop the fission process, then it must burn either in an upward direction, or downward, whichever is the path of least resistance. Nothing will hold something that is 10,000 F. Either way the poisons will find a path out and into the environment. By the way, the last time I heard Chernobyl was still in danger of one day burning through its makeshift containment.”
