all sound like religious organizations. I don't want to give them money.
The guy that was broadcasting a live news feed on Yokoso news for over 18 hours said to not even worry about donations at this time and to save your money and wait for further development. He also mentioned that most donation places are a scam that won't really help Japan anyway so there's no point.
so basically,
they can't lower the rods completely into the uranium bundle due to some malfunction, and so its still continuously reacting despite the lack of adequate cooling from the coolants. This is causing a lot of heat to build up and pressure to increase, hence prompting threats of a nuclear meltdown
right?
what are the contingency plans to deal with this?
Look at this, it's absolutely disgusting.

Yes... That's what it seems is happening atm.
Contingency seems to be to evacuate people past a 10km radius from the reactor, They have USAF assets helping in bringing coolant into the facility for the reactors, and were trying to open up valves to relieve pressure, but this last one was suspended when radiation was found at one of the valves.
Also, in regards to what Calister said earlier:
calister said:
im surprised they havent lowered the control rods 100%, even with an open core that should keep it under control as long as there is water flowing onto it. (unless they already have and somethign is going horribly wrong.
This is from a Nuclear Expert on this article.
"The Japanese reactors are designed to drop neutron-blocking control rods into the core as soon as the plants detect a seismic disturbance. These controls apparently functioned normally. But even after the procedure, scientists say a base level of heat continues to flow, and coolant is needed to constrain those temperatures."
So the problem here is that since Coolant stopped flowing into the reactors even AFTER the control rods were dumped, the continuous flow of heat and no coolant to quench it means we get a meltdown if no means to resolve the issue of cooling the reactor are found.
LDC ... that's just fucking horrible. It so makes my blood boil. I mean weren't dropping TWO FUCKING NUKES AT JAPAN ENOUGH TROUBLE ALREADY? FFFFFFFFFFFFF

Uranium fuel may be melting at reactor
Gentlemen, we have a "Three Mile Island" event on our hands, and it's occurring at the moment in Fukushima.

Actually it's kind of interesting that, that many people know about Pearl Harbor. School or rather..... holidays work!
And, hey, people here were happy at the apparent loss of some Sea Shepperd crew. So this seems to be the normal response in people everywhere.
Lol, when an Army brat doesn't even think about pearl harbor when something like this happens, you really got to blame our (USA) education system.
War happens, you get over it. Nature happens, its nobodies fault, you help out your neighbor.
Ignorant hicks.

I'm not happy about Sea Shepperd. I'm an environmentalist too and I don't like Whaling.
Whoever thinks that the earthquake in Japan was "Karmic Justice" due to them attacking Pearl Harbor back in 1941, make sure to remember the two atomic bombs we the american people dropped in their land. If this Karmic Justice is real, We've then set ourselves up for something far more gruesome than what Japan is experiencing at this moment. /knocks on wood

Maybe they got it wrong and it's Karma for the Whales?
Those guys talking about karma, wait till it bites them in the ass. A prime example of groupthink and following the herd.

herp derp
yea thats what I thought, I think deadbeat misinterpreted me when i was talking about the control rods, but yea I think its to do with the flow of coolant being still right after I head that the pressure was increasing

You two totally deserve an internet each. srsly.
Considering none of those people were alive to experience pearl harbor it seems irrelevant. What purpose would me going and beating up the grandson of the guy that killed my grandfather serve? None.
Statements like those are ignorant, learn from the past, but leave the past in the past. Once everyone that was actually affected by whatever event occurred is dead or near death, and that same negative thing isn't still occurring to you then forget about it.
It was pretty weird seeing only Japanese people at the Pearl Harbor memorial. Wonder where the patriots were?

Flying to Hawaii is expensive.
BBC is saying there was an explosion in one of the reactions and there have been some injuries.
