“We’ve opened a door to hell” at Fukushima plant, and may never be able to close
it, says Paul Gunter, a nuclear industry watchdog, on a radio interview.
We’ve got 3 reactors, the cores have left the vessel. They’ve burned through the
bottom of the vessel. We don’t really know where they are.
They have been sending very innovative robotic machinery and sensors in
there to get a picture, to get a reading, and these things don’t return, because the radioactive environment even fries robots that Tepco’s been sending in there.
We have
opened a door to hell that cannot be easily closed — if ever.
We’ve got those 3
cores that are melting, they could be somewhere in the concrete base mat burning
their way through, they could have already burned through and entered into the
ground. They hopefully have formed a huge solid ‘elephant’s foot’ of highly
radioactive material.

“Japan’s worst nuclear nightmare” — Yale Professor: Removing fuel from Fukushima
Unit 4 pool “has me very scared” — Tepco: “We believe it’s not dangerous”
Mark Willacy, ABC News (Australia), Oct. 31, 2013: Hidden
inside the twisted remains of the Fukushima reactor 4 building, and perched
precariously 5 stories above the ground, is Japan’s worst nuclear nightmare.
It’s a deep pool holding 1,300 used fuel assemblies. Tepco is finally ready
to start removing this 400 tons of highly radioactive fuel.
ABC’s Interview with Yale Professor Charles Perrow,
author of recent article in the Bulletin of Atomic Scientist about Tepco’s
upcoming attempt to remove fuel from the Unit 4 pool: “This has me very
scared.”
He warned that one slip-up with the removal of this highly radioactive
fuel could trigger a chain reaction. “Tokyo would have to be evacuated because
cesium, and other poisons that are there, will spread very rapidly. Even if the
wind is blowing the other way, it’s going to be monumental.”
TEPCO’s Yoshimi Hitosugi: We believe it’s not dangerous.

Celebrated Physician: Fukushima has humanity “on brink of a possible
worldwide nuclear holocaust” — “The world as we know it has changed” — “Effects
on our health are incomprehensible”
Infectious disease specialist Dr. Stephen Hosea, MD in the Santa
Barbara Independent, October 31, 2013: Radioactive Fallout from
Fukushima — The World as We Know It Has Changed
I believe that
humanity is standing on the brink of a possible worldwide nuclear holocaust.
The
world as we know it has already changed as the result of radioactive material
that has been released into the air and the ocean.
I am not an alarmist, but I
am alarmed. I know radioactivity has been and continues to be released
into the air and ocean.
The effects on our health are incomprehensible because
the magnitude of radioactivity released and the extent of spread and
contamination are virtually unknown.
In my clinical career, I have had the
good fortune to care for the homeless and the disenfranchised and the rich and
the famous.
When one is lying in a hospital bed with those special gowns that
are wide open in the back, everyone is pretty much the same. The air we breathe,
the water we drink, the food we eat are gifts of life for all of us no matter
what our creed or our color.
I know that these precious gifts have been
contaminated. The silence from the media and the powers that be has been
deafening. We have an opportunity to help the Japanese with the crisis in
Fukushima. I want the best and the brightest that money CAN’T buy to be making
those decisions.
This is not a request–this is an inalienable right for the sake
of our children and all humanity. The time to act is now.
