About this tag
The tag criticality on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about nuclear criticality events, specifically regarding the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. Threads examine evidence of uncontrolled or recriticality at the plant, including reports of neutron beams and Cherenkov radiation. Contributors reference sources like Arnie Gunderson and Dr. Dalnoki-Veress to analyze whether reactor cores have gone critical. The content focuses on the scientific and technical aspects of fission, neutron emissions, and criticality accidents. This tag is relevant for users interested in nuclear safety, reactor physics, and post-disaster analysis of Fukushima.

    We have at least three sources who believe that there is evidence of recriticality at Fukushima

    We have at least three sources who believe that there is evidence of recriticality at Fukushima. What's troubling is that it is uncontrolled criticality. For those who don't know, this means the fission process is starting and stopping at random. Blue flashes of light have been witnessed at...

    Has Fukushima's Reactor No. 1 Gone Critical?

    On March 23, Dr. Link Removed - Invalid URL a Research Scientist at the Monterey Institute of International Studies saw a report by Kyodo news agency that caught his eye. It reported that Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) had observed a neutron beam about 1.5 km away from the plant. Bursts of...
