Never thought of it that way! The news just said, their buying all of these iodide pills. Just in case of nuclear fall out here in New Mexico. But I guess you could be correct.

believing in god isn't what makes beck crazy. if you think he is a rational human being, you must not know much about him
Ok I said earlier that Glenn Beck is definitely crazy IMO, but if you can sift through his nonsense, he DOES make valid points. I usually watch his program or listen to him on the radio for entertainment purposes, not actual news.

Over and over I see these diagrams on the news showing the reactor buildings. In the diagrams you can clearly see that each one has a cooling pool for the spent fuel rods above the containment core where the active fuel is.

The only answer I can come up with is that they were blown into the air and all over the area depending on the wind. That's the only possible outcome as far as I can tell. The Japanese government is definitely concealing the true extant of the radiation that's already been leaked. Like I said in my previous post, there are over 600,000 spent fuel rods total at the plant. They are every bit as dangerous as the active fuel rods, possibly more dangerous.

You think the Japanese are lying to their own people? Why? If the radiation WAS at a dangerous level don't you think they would issue an evacuation? OF COURSE THEY WOULD!! What government is going to let their own people just sit and die? It's crazy to think that they would conceal the truth, especially when THOUSANDS of lives would be at stake. I think the truth is that everybody is blowing this out of proportion, and while it IS a serious threat...I don't think they're lying about it.

I dont think they mean that they are necessarily 'lying' about it, but I think they mean that they arent telling all the details. Do you know how crazy of a panic there would be if they told them that dangerous levels of radiation is flowing through Japan. People would go fucking nuts. I think they are downplaying the situation to keep everyone civil. If panic happened then people would be harder to control

I don't think they're lying - but they're not revealing the entire truth either. They don't want to induce more panic - to 'them' - there are greater things at risk than public health here. Keep in mind its not the government completely in control either - its the Tokyo Electric company.
But I do agree people are blowing it out of proportion with the whole effects on the world and the US stuff - but the risk to the surrounding area is not properly stated by the government.
3 nuclear reactors, 1 with plutonium fuel, running completely without cooling systems after being damaged by multiple explosions is a huge risk to the surrounding region if you ask me.

Insufficient response; you have proven only that you believe the entire Japanese government to be psychopathic, so where's your point?

Why the fuck did they store over half a million spent fuel rods in a 40 year old nuke facility located in the most seismically active area in the world? We are soooo fucked, we are totally fucked.
That shit was blown sky high...
Well at least the deniers won't be able to get away with their bullshit this time; we'll see the effects of this disaster in the very near future

God dammit you people are fucking retarded, do any of you have ANY actual knowledge about say a 1st Gen GE BWR reactor?
THERE IS NO NUCLEAR 'FALLOUT' THE RADIATION LEVELS ARE EXTREMELY LOW THERE IS NO DANGER, THIS IS ALL JUST CNN TRYING TOMAKE SOME MONEY FROM A BUNCH OF RETARDS.

amilibertine said: There is a lot more spent fuel rods at this plant, something on the line of over 600,000. If the cooling pools dry up and catch fire the amount of radioactive material would easily top what was released at Chernobyl. Not to mention the fact that the cooling pools were located near the top of the reactor buildings and likely went up with the explosions.
I think there is A LOT we are not being told, just like how the Soviet Union tried to hide what happened at Chernobyl until radiation was detected in Eastern Europe.
Its not that they are hiding anything. They literally just don't know that much. The radiation levels are such that they have a very small group of people dealing with several problems that come up that know they will probably die from over exposure. The real problem is that now this 1 plant in particular is so dangerous people can't really be there to report the facts.
