The gang spent six months tunneling but got there timing wrong . The cash machine only contained £6,000 . The thieves had to drill through more then 15 inches of concrete to reach the cash. The tunnel was over a 100 feet in length . :scratch:

A highly radioactive block of cement capable of killing anyone who spends more than 6 hours near it has been found outside the Fukushima nuclear power plant. Debris with similar radiation is believed to be spread around the nuclear power plant. Similar highly radioactive debris is spread around...

Link RemovedTOKYO (majirox news) – A gigantic concrete pump is heading towards Japan, the largest in the world, increasing speculating that Japan will soon attempt to entomb the Fukushima reactors. “We either wait a few hundred thousand years for the radiation to cool, or we wait a few weeks to...

Link RemovedWorkers in Japan are still struggling to limit environmental contamination at the Fukushima plant. The latest problem has been a break that is allowing heavily contaminated water flow directly into the ocean, a leak that has continued despite two attempts to plug it. Meanwhile...

Radioactive water is leaking into the sea from a 20-centimetre (8-inch) crack in a containment pit at Japan's quake-hit Fukushima nuclear plant, its operator Tepco has said. The crack under reactor 2 may be the source of recent radiation in coastal waters, Tepco officials said. Tepco is...

The Guardian reports that Japanese engineers have "lost the race" to prevent a nuclear meltdown. Apparently reactor number 2 has melted through its containment vessel, onto the concrete floor underneath. According to the expert quoted in the piece, the fuel will now run out like lava, "and that...

Japan has finally conceded it has lost the battle to contain radiation at four of its crippled reactors and they will be closed down. Details of what that will entail have yet to be revealed, but officials said it would mean switching off all power and abandoning attempts to keep the nuclear...

They house all this nuclear material in massive concrete buildings and thick ,thick metal containers for the reactor cores . Spent fuel is handled in much the same way . Kept well away from the human population in insulated containers . Soon as we have a nuclear dissaster it is all change ! No...
