After World War II, Yoyogi Park, which was a former training area for the Japanese Army, became the US Army's Washington Heights housing complex during the occupation. After the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, the Americans left and the area become today's Yoyogi Park. Below is a photo of the Washington Heights area taken by Tim Stinson:
Arnie Gundersen talks about the incorrect and inconsistent information from Japan, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, TEPCO and the Nuclear Industry. He also reveals what is known in a recent report from Areva, a French Nuclear firm and cites the recently published NRC report in the New York Times:
"Clearly we are witnessing one of the greatest disasters of our time."
Yesterday, TEPCO finally plugged the leak from the pit in the No 2 reactor at Fukushima with 'water glass'. However, many experts now think that the situation may very well be in a state that is far worse than a partial meltdown:
"But data from Japanese regulators and TEPCO suggest to some researchers that conditions inside the core could be far worse than a partial meltdown. Some believe that molten fuel may have flowed into the outer concrete containment vessel, whereas others suggest that nuclear chain reactions are still happening inside the fuel."
"At Fukushima, the reactor cores are still melting down. The ONLY way to stop that is to detonate a ~10 kiloton fission device inside each reactor containment vessel and hope to vaporize the cores."
Done correctly the nuclear blasts will put all the reactors immediately below the waterline. Then right afterwards, bring in the pre-positioned cargo ships over the new craters to dump in cement. Or, the other way is to allow TEPCO to keep on screwing around and contaminate the world ad infinitum. Here is one way to do it:
1. Begin with having the US Dept. Of Energy nuclear super computers gauge the correct matrix of seismology, geology, and pyrotechnics simultaneously in order to not rip Honshu into two separate land masses. 2. Use pre-set underground bunker buster/thermobaric weapons technology. 3. From the reactors, locate, retrieve and remove as much spent fuel as possible. Secure it in an off-shore vessel. 4. Preload the site with surface boron and packaged concrete before taking the shot. 5. "Pull it!" 6. Advance the offshore concrete cargo ships. 7. Entomb the reactors in the new craters. 8. Mission accomplished.
