Reply #35: I've seen that claim several times in the last couple days.

Strangley always lacking are any actual examples of the earlier predictions that look foolish.

What a shock.

And no... I only express certainty when I have a reason to believe that I'm correct. There are others who would just take wild predictions that had no basis in reality ("larger explosion when the cores melt to the water table"?) and assume that everything they read here is equally plausible. "Cores melt to the water table" was an outside possibility on the first day or two, but had long passed by the time we discussed it (and some continue that line today).

Where are all the retractions for that type of BS? The Fukushima 50 are all dead men walking. The other workers will never return except as "liquidator" zombies unknowlingly throwing their lives away. Spent fuel fires blowing out many times Chernobyl's radiation... and on and on and on.
