Fukushima. The water has officially topped the barrier and freely flowing into the Pacific



TEPCO had said a few days ago that the radioactive water being held by a barrier could top that barrier within 3 weeks and once it did it would flow fast and freely into the Pacific Ocean.

Well, it didn't take 3 weeks but only 3 days for that to happen.

TEPCO announced that the water has now officially topped the barrier that was holding it back.  They have no idea what to do and there is no containing the toxic flow of radioactivity into the Pacific.
Contaminated groundwater accumulating under the crippled Fukushima nuclear power plant has risen 60cm above the protective barrier, and is now freely leaking into the Pacific Ocean, the plant’s operator TEPCO has admitted.
The Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), which is responsible for decommissioning the damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, on Saturday said the protective barriers that were installed to prevent the flow of toxic water into the ocean are no longer coping with the groundwater levels.
The contaminated groundwater, which mixes with radioactive leaks seeping out of the plant, has already risen to 60cm above the barriers – the fact which TEPCO calls a major cause of the massive daily leak of toxic substances. 

This is so sad and this is not something that can just be cleaned up.  Our oceans are the Earth's life blood and ours too.  The oceans create oxygen for us.  

I will say over and over again!  SHUT DOWN EVERY NUCLEAR POWER PLANT IN THE WORLD!  IT IS THE MOST TOXIC AND UNCLEAN FORM OF ENERGY THERE IS!

Now all the ocean's marine life will die from radioactivity at some point.  Will we have 100 foot long whales and sharks?  

Why aren't we hearing from governments around the world calling for radioactive testing of seafood from the Pacific?  Why aren't we hearing governments calling for radioactive testing of products from Japan?

Oh, right...... they made agreements not to do that.  Hillary specifically signed an agreement with Japan not to test any food or products coming from there.  

I wonder..... if we sent Obama, Clinton, Biden, Holden and the rest of that gang some salmon and Blue fin Tuna from the shores of Japan if they would eat those gifts from us?  Or...would they have their food tested?

We really should all send seafood to those in D.C. and all of our elected officials and make them eat it.  

Our Earth is being killed and those at the top are the parasites who have made the Earth toxic through greed.  The truth is there has been real alternative energies known for decades by those at the top, but they have kept them away for money and power.  The oil and energy companies have not wanted people to have "free" energy.  This way they control all.  Now what have they done?  They have and are killing the Earth from Greed, pure and simple?

 I wonder if those who control it all are happy?  Does billions/Trillions make you happy?   Does the money make you happy? Does seeing the Earth die and the animals upon it die due your greed make you happy?  When the Earth dies and you can not eat any of the food from the ocean nor land, where will be your control, money and happiness?  

All my life, even when I was a kid I wondered how those at the top were "short sighted" and did not think about the future of the Earth and people when it came to hearing about different news and the "bottom line" at that moment.

REACTOR 3 (MOX FUEL) OF FUKUSHIMA NUCLEAR PLANT JAPAN - NOW ADMITTED IT IS BREACHED AND LEAKING RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL!

UPDATE 3/25/11 - NY Times - Long Vertical Crack in Reactor 3 (Mox fuel)

New signs emerged on Friday that parts of the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant are so damaged and contaminated that it will be harder to bring the plant under control soon. …
Concerns about Reactor No. 3 have surfaced before. Japanese officials said nine days ago that the reactor vessel may have been damaged. …

A senior nuclear executive who insisted on anonymity but has broad contacts in Japan said that there was a long vertical crack running down the side of the reactor vessel itself. The crack runs down below the water level in the reactor and has been leaking fluids and gases, he said.
The severity of the radiation burns to the injured workers are consistent with contamination by water that had been in contact with damaged fuel rods, the executive said.

“There is a definite, definite crack in the vessel — it’s up and down and it’s large,” he said. “The problem with cracks is they do not get smaller.” …

I have written about the Mox Fuel Reactor 3, it is 2 million times worse than a regular uranium nuclear reactor.

Now the officials are saying it is breached and releasing radioactive material.

A high-level radiation leak detected Thursday at one of six troubled reactors at the crisis-hit Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant indicates possible damage to the reactor's vessel, pipes or valves, the government's Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency said Friday.
Three workers at the No. 3 reactor's turbine building, connected to the reactor building, were exposed Thursday to water containing radioactive materials 10,000 times the normal level, with two of them taken to hospital due to possible radiation burns to their feet, the plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Co. said.

I have to say I have been amazed (not in a good way) how all the news sites online have taken Japan off their front pages besides MSM cable news do not mention Japan anymore.  Yet it is something that will affect the whole world.
