HUGE PLUTONIUM LEAKAGE LAND & SEA - Japan Fukushima Nuclear Reactor Meltdown In a recent video by Fairewinds Energy, Arnie Gunderson discusses alarming updates regarding the Fukushima disaster that occurred in March 2011. Gunderson highlights several critical findings, notably the detection of plutonium and highly radioactive water leaking from the reactor site, posing severe implications for health and environmental safety.
Key Findings from the Video
- Plutonium Detection:
- Plutonium has been discovered at five different locations on the Fukushima site. This isotope is particularly worrisome due to its potential health risks; as little as one microgram can cause lethal cancer.
- Gunderson theorizes that the plutonium likely emanates from the fuel pool in Unit 4, although all four reactors involved contain some amount of plutonium due to the nature of nuclear reactions.
- Massive quantities of radioactive water have been found in trenches outside the nuclear containment structure, indicating that the containment is not functioning as it should.
- The water presents a substantial challenge for cleanup due to its high radioactivity levels, making it unsafe for personnel to be near.
- Gunderson expresses profound concerns about the damage within the reactor cores, especially given the prolonged lack of cooling in the dense fuel environment.
- He suggests that up to 80% of the core in some reactors may be damaged, which contributes to ongoing leaks of radioactive material.
Conclusions and Implications
Gunderson’s assessments reflect a troubling situation where radioactive materials are escaping into the environment, most likely ending up in the ocean. Such leaks pose long-term risks not only to local ecosystems but also to public health. This discussion is particularly poignant for those who have been following the developments since the disaster, reminding the community about the potential dangers of mishandled nuclear materials.Engage with the Community
