In reply to the discussion: Fukushima: Worse Than a Disaster [View all]AtheistCrusader
(33,982 posts)14. That's a lie.
"The absolutely uncontrollable fission of the melted nuclear fuel assemblies continue somewhere under the remains of the station. Its important to find it as soon as possible,
He didn't say that. Here's what he said:
" "We haven't seen where the nuclear fuel fell, so it's important to find it as soon as possible" Mr. Masuda said.
He didn't say uncontrollable fission continues under the station. That's a fucking lie.
The interview is here. http://www.abc.net.au/foreign/content/2015/s4468353.htm You fucking tell me where in this half hour interview/segment Masuda says anything about uncontrollable fission continuing under the station. Sick and tired of the 'anti nuke' bullshit lies. Nuclear power is dangerous, risky, and has real consequences and detractions, you don't need to make up COMPLETE FUCKING BULLSHIT to argue your case.
I realize the OP didn't author that, but the source is a well known fabricator of complete and utter bullshit that cannot be found on any mainstream news source. Maybe, this time, the author of the piece in the link has gone too far, since you can easily fact check it.

That's the interview. Masuda is in there. Never says a word about uncontrolled fission continuing. This IS the source of the "so it's important to find it as soon as possible" quote. But not that other made-up bullshit. He said (translated) "We haven't seen where the nuclear fuel fell, so it's important to find it as soon as possible" in reference specifically to reactor 1.
If fission was continuing, daughter products of the reaction would be IMPOSSIBLE to hide. Independent radiation monitors would detect it. It's not happening. It's bullshit.

The containments are compromised. No doubt there. They are leaking water.
