IMMINENT
NUCLEAR THREAT
The
damaged reactor nr. 4 at Fukusjima is slowly sinking. About half a
meter, untill now, predicting a possible collapse in the nearby
future. A collapse followed by the melt-down of the reactor. Up to
now, the reactor has to been cooled by enormous amounts of water.
Regularly this radio-active water is stored in tanks on the site of
the nuclear plant. Suggestions have been made to store the water in
oiltankers! Still, radio-activ water is leaking out of the reactor
into the sea. Fish has been caught, with dangerous levels of cesium.
To dangerous to consume now, but also in the far future.
The
Fukusjima-50 is the name used for the firefighters and workers, that
entered the site. Officially the radiation level was so high, that no
humans were allowed. The Japanese government lowered the numbers (but
not the dangers) and set these “heroes” to work. They were doomed
from the beginning.
So
were the workers and the soldiers at Tsjernobyl. In 1986 disaster
struck, the nuclear reactor exploded and a meltdown took place. Under
enormous difficult and extremely dangerous circumstances, engineers
constructed a “sarcophagus”, to isolate the site and keep the
radio-activity in.
Some
say it was the most complex and dangerous engeneering undertaking in
the 20th century.
Tsjernobyl
is a “no-go”-area now. In a radius of 30 kilometers, people have
been moved and nature has taken over. Like the “Fukusjima-50”,
the workers and soldiers at Tsjernobyl, real heroes, were doomed from
the beginning. Many died or are still dying. Newborn are deformed and
many people developed cancer. And the problem is not over yet. The
“Sarcophagus” could collapse and conditions are changing. First
it seemed, that the nuclear fuel, was safely embedded in “lava”,
molten debris, a result of the meltdown. This situation is changing.
Many parts of the “sarcophagus” have not been researched and the
whole (enormous!) structure is crumbling down. Covering it all in
concrete will cost about 2 billion dollars. Money, the Ucraine does
not have. Radio-active memories of this disaster are accumulating and
we all carry parts of this with us. For the rest of our life! Wild
boars are still, 2014, too radio-active to be consumed.
Japan
is silent about Fukusjima, like the Ucraine is about . Tsjernobyl. No
inspections to be expected on these sites.. The Elite makes us
believe, need nuclear power for our economy and wealth. So the media,
politics and electricity-companies keep silent. We are all waiting
till the shit hits the fan. That will be soon.
