ahh i didn't know it was a bwr

but my point was actually about foundations

all the same i should have know looking at all of the cubes

hmm I can't verify this yet.
someone on the stream at Japan earthquake | Page 24 | Liveblog live blogging | Reuters.com

Says that Fukushima 1 Reactor 3 has Uranium and Plutonium fuel rods.

yeah known as MOX.

Did you read that blurb about fusion occurring?

It's on the BBC link.

tee heee.. those buildings look like boobs.

I'm not exactly sure but I know uncontrolled fusion = thermonuclear explosion.

It also releases a lot of energy.

Flyersfan 03-12-2011 23:38
its also the sun

[Golbez-RG-] 03-12-2011 23:39
It basically means its so hot that fusion is occurring in the reactors. That also means its going to melt straight down through pretty much anything, hopefully the containment building on top keeps it all in its hole.

fusion means it's going to create a bunch of helium in the air so everyone within a 10 mile radius is going to start talking funny

it's a tid bit nipply out there.

MC Hamster 03-12-2011 23:45
...the ****? There's fusion going on? Ok, I can understand things getting 'hot', but there's a difference between 'radioactive decay hot' and 'nuclear fusion' hot. Wouldn't the material need to be in a plasma state to fuse? I'm just not seeing how anything is going to accidentally get into that sort of condition...

Then again, I'm no fizzycist.

[Golbez-RG-] 03-12-2011 23:46
A runaway fission reaction can make that happen. How do you think it happens in an H-bomb?

If the water which cools the reactor "core" -- its 200,000 to 300,000 pounds of radioactive fuel load -- stops flowing, the "emergency core cooling system" must send water in. If it fails, a loss-of-coolant or meltdown accident can occur.

In such an accident, the core of nuclear fuel, which in less than a minute can reach 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit, burns through the cement bottom of the nuclear plant and bores into the earth. This is what U.S. nuclear scientists have dubbed the "China syndrome" -- based on a nuclear plant on their side of the planet undergoing an accident seemingly sending its white-hot core in the direction of China.

In fact, the radioactive core doesn't -- in any location -- go to China but it descends to the water table underlying a plant. Then, in a violent reaction, molten core and cold water combine, creating steam explosions and releasing a plume of radioactive poisons.

Where the radioactivity spreads after a nuclear plant meltdown is largely a function of where winds take the radioactivity and of the rain that causes it to fall out.
Which could reach as far away as California.

Did you guys know that radiation doesn't show up as a giant green cloud? I sure didn't.

Dangerdoggie 03-12-2011 23:56
No, but it comes down as black rain.

Have you taken your potassium iodine today?

a giant green cloud just in time for St Paddy's day would be epic
