A friend of mine had subscribed to The New Yorker for a long time, but after 9/11 he stopped getting the magazine even though he still had a few months to go before the subscription expired. I expect something similar to happen with your imported products, though on an exponentially larger scale.

Then again, Japanese business owners are probably exceedingly more organized than their American counterparts... though given the level of devastation it may not even matter. Who knows.

Let's put it this way. When the plants weren't all safely shut down, the government said they had all safely shut down. When it was revealed that they had not all safely shut down, they said that no radioactive leak had occurred. So then they said that everything was under control, and now we know that they're unable to cool them and that they had to vent radioactive fumes into the atmosphere to prevent a meltdown. Now that they admit to that, what the fuck do you think is actually going on?

Reuters reporting about Fukushima
Government is trying to panic.
Look like they didn't count on the reporter being near the actual people handling the issue...

This is the part that matters.
The government warned of a possible radiation leak as authorities began trying to reduce pressure at damaged two nuclear plants, sending tens of thousands of residents out of the area to avoid possible contamination.

Tokyo Electric Power Co (Tepco) said it had begun steps to release pressure at its two nuclear power plants in Fukushima, some 240 km (150 miles) north of Tokyo.

But Kyodo news agency quoted the company as saying it was having difficulties opening a valve at its Daiichi reactor to release pressure.

Experts and the government both insisted there would be no radioactive disaster.

"No Chernobyl is possible at a light water reactor. Loss of coolant means a temperature rise, but it also will stop the reaction," Naoto Sekimura, a professor at the University of Tokyo, said.

"Even in the worst-case scenario, that would mean some radioactive leakage and equipment damage, but not an explosion. If venting is done carefully, there will be little leakage. Certainly not beyond the 3 km radius."

- The impact of the earthquake shifted the earth’s rotation axis by 25 centimeters

- As a result the earth spins 1.6 microseconds faster and each day will be a tiny bit shorter.

- The continental drift was also affected by the earthquake, thus the main Japanese island of Honshu is now 2.4 metres further east.

- The 8.9-magnitude quake ruptured a patch of the earth’s crust 150 miles long and 50 miles across.

According to models. They haven't actually MEASURED any of that. Some of it is even impossible to measure precisely with current technology. Also, as to the day length issue, there's so much natural fluctuation in that (according to one theory, tidal drag is causing a slowdown as well, but they also have had unexplained jumps in the other direction) as to be of no actual consequence.

Looks like it hasn't been added by official members so we cannot back up their claims based by their user if they have no source.

That being said, it has been submitted by several different IPs. Though that could be due to rumours spreading like wildfire over twitter.

Think of it this way. You cook something with your oven. You finish and turn it off. The oven is still hot even though it is off and cools down. Now think of the nuclear plant. It's off, but they need to cool the stuff in it. They're having trouble with getting power to the cooling system.

People are morons. I'm sick of the irrational nuclear reactor fears.

At first people were worried about water flooding into the reactor not realizing that water is a neutron moderator, which decelerates neutrons turning them from fast neutrons (0.1MeV) to thermal neutrons (0.025eV) thus limiting any potential nuclear reactions. It would be an excellent coolant.

This was eventually shown false and now an alarming lack of coolant was the problem...

Now people are worried about the building reactor heat...
The negative void coefficient basically means that as coolant is vented reactivity goes down. Since there was nearly no coolant, very few fission reactions can take place thus preventing the reactor from reaching criticality or super-criticality.

Now if the steam pressure built to a high enough level to compromise the structural integrity of the containment building then yes it could rupture and throw out some radioactive fallout. However a smart team of physicists would vent the reactor slowly releasing gases with trace amounts of radioactive fission fragments over time.

A large dose of radiation is only dangerous over a short Δt.
An equivalent dose of radiation to the first given over a much larger Δt is significantly less dangerous.

Venting radiation is smart. You would only be exposed to trace amounts over a large time period, it would barely have radiation levels above the cosmic background radiation. It is 100% safe it would prevent a meltdown with minimal exposure to radionuclides.

To all who make a baseless assertion that nuclear power is dangerous I say:

lrn2nuclearphysics.

Not the same guy, but uh, it's fairly obvious that there are different types of nuclear reactors. The light-water types the Japanese are operating in the area are much less dangerous. After the Chernobyl incident nuclear reactors all over the world reviewed their reactor design, instituted additional safeguards, and so forth to avoid a similar disaster. Humans *are* capable of learning from mistakes...

Also the entire Chernobyl incident was caused not only by flawed reactor design, but also very lax standards, enforcement, and very poor and unprofessional decisions made by the operators.

The US military had already been mobilized in anticipation to a request from the Japanese government. And now the Japanese government has officially requested military assistance.

Before this, though, USAF bases were already taking in commercial airliners that were diverted from airports that closed down.

I don't you're going to be seeing anything on the news, however. What the US military brings to the table is heavy machinery that will clear the rubble as part of Japan's reconstruction efforts long after you've lost interest.

well. japan lost a coast, maybe permanently. some good 500+ dead, maybe more. and the government in apparent panic trying to evacuate a 10km radius while saying that everything is under control. im glad your waifus and mangakas are also safe, god knows i want to hear from the makers of clamp. they have to fix the screw up CGR2 was before dying because i dont want to meet them in tripfag hell.

im beginning to think that the coolant wasnt really returned to america. it would be really nice if they had asked USA to cooperate in the crowd control. alas, i know it may just be too good to be true. even a little bit of radiation after still having efffects of 2 nukes for over 3 decades is too much.

so, hello. im a newfag, i lurked a bit for a main trhead on the event and only found on /jp/. my simpaties to those with people they know on japan, my condolences for those that have already lost friends and families on it, and dont worry, this will be my last post.

i know that anon cares in its own troll-ful way. id like to say that im actualy praying for everything to end alright, or at least the best it can be. i wish i could just ask for anons to pray as well, but this would end up in a religion debate or kyubey hijack.

basically all shinkansens operating in tohoku and kanto are stopped. anything south/west of tokyo seems to be fine though. Obviously anything near miyagi in Tohoku is not running. I haven't really been paying detailed attention to trains not in Tokyo though as it's not affecting me. Basically by now, anything in the heavily damaged areas = not running, anything else = mostly good

High energy radiation is capable of causing cellular damage in any creature that has cells. That is every organism from unicellular bacteria to entire humans. Animals and humans will respond the same to high doses of radiation. Any cellular organism will get radiation sickness.

Also consider countless biological studies on flora and fauna in the area around chernobyl that have been studying the effects on radiation for years. I'm sure biologists are very well aware of cancer rates or cellar damage in wildlife around there.

Your post merely betrays your ignorance in this matter.

No, not so much. But you're right in that individual animals had shorter lifespans on the whole; but species-wise they lived long enough to breed, and without competition from humans and their attendant development, the region thrived ecologically.

most multi-cellular organisms will display radiation sickness. Obviously if something like a single cell were hit by high energy radiation it would just be ionized and die. As it would be able to execute the functions that allow it to live. Which I guess can be thought of a sickness on a unicellular level.

The purpose of throwing water in the reactor for it to absorb heat and transfer it out. The primary purpose of a coolant.

Now assuming the media is correct and reactor is running a few thousand degrees then throwing water in there will do squat. If it was done earlier, if the possible infrastructure was available, then this might not have happened and the reactor would have stabilized. Although this is merely conjecture take it for what it's worth.

Obviously.
However, that reactor powered countless homes in that area of Japan, and nuclear reactors are extremely expensive. See a major hike in taxes to afford building another so that that area of Japan can have electricity.

If nothing else, though, this new one they'll build (if green environmentalists in Japan don't make the event out to be some horrid risk to the entire life of mankind) will likely last a century, at the least.

Japanese nuclear authorities say there was a high possibility that nuclear fuel rods at a reactor at Tokyo Electric Power's Daiichi plant may be melting or have melted, according to Jiji news agency.

Experts have said that if the fuel rods have been damaged, it means that it could develop into a breach of the nuclear reactor vessel and the question then becomes one of how strong the containment structure around the vessel is and whether it has been undermined by the earthquake.
