Second Reactor Building Explodes

A third explosion at  Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant

Officials: Spent fuel rods may have burned in blaze at nuclear plant



    Spent fuel rods containing radioactive material may have burned in Tuesday's fire at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant -- causing a spike in radiation levels, the plant's owner said.

    The blaze started Tuesday morning but was later extinguished, Tokyo Electric Power Company said. It was unclear how much radioactive material may have been emitted, or what kind of health threat that could pose.



Fukushima: Burning spent fuel rods spiked radiation levels



    Even as reports began circulating around the globe about a spike in radiation levels at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear park, leading to fears that a meltdown in the reactors may have begun, the plant's owners have offered another explanation. Spent fuel rods, which are radioactive and still lying in a pool adjoining a nuclear reactor at the park, may have burned in a blaze noticed on Tuesday and were responsible for the radiation spike, the Tokyo Electric Power Co said.

    ...

    More than 200 tons of spent nuclear fuel is stored in pools adjacent to the reactors. Those cooling pools depend on continually circulating water to keep the fuel rods from catching fire. Without power to circulate the water, the rods would heat up and the water boil away leaving the fuel rods exposed to air.

    Earlier, an aerial photograph of the Fukushima complex appeared to show that the spent fuel pool was steaming hot, indicating that the water was boiling off, outside experts had said.

    Japanese officials had earlier informed the International Atomic Energy Agency that radioactivity was "being released directly into the atmosphere" during the fire, according to an IAEA statement.

Japan PM warns 140,000 people not evacuated from areas around the plant to Seal Themselves In their Residence

What happened to Japan military??? They run out of solders??? Or equipment???
There are only two choices
Bomb the place to some how stop this thing from burning, disperse the nuclear material
Or start sending people on the suicide mission too pool all the radioactive material out of there
Get some convicts on the depth row maybe they will do it

Could yo imagine an earthquake every few minutes in Japan!
