A central problems of Fukushima, joins warming reactor in Tokai
The current situation is the most serious crisis since World War II. After a couple of days in which he has been accused of acting too slowly, japons Prime Minister, Naoto Kan, acknowledged yesterday bblicas proportions of triple catastrophe, earthquake, tsunami and nuclear risk - asian plaguing the country since last Friday.
Although half of the territory east nipn, buying wow gold, has been plunged into chaos and destruction, Kan minimum sends a message of their countrymen killed. We can overcome this crisis depends on each one of us. I firmly believe we can beat this great earthquake and tsunami unindonos together, said in a television appearance where he 'forgot', perhaps aware, your biggest problem: the risk of an explosion at, ff14 gil, mica plant in Fukushima, in so only 250 kilometers from Tokyo.
In desperation, the technicians have three days trying to cool down and two of its six nuclear reactors, whose electrical systems of refrigeracin have failed to be struck by the force of the earthquake and tsunami. After Saturday's explosion, which caused a radioactive leak in the reactor number 1, the operators have, mortal gold, injected seawater and acid factory in the number 3 so that the temperature does not follow up, which will eventually blow it up. The radiation has exceeded safety levels because water is flowing to cool it down to expose three meters of fuel rods, the heat has increased the pressure.
We do not know what to do
We do not know what to do, admitted powerless government spokesman Yukio Edan, who does not rule out the possibility of occurrence of the feared nuclear fusion process in both reactors. This in spite of pumping sea water and to lower the pressure, release gas vapor into the atmosphere to exceed the limits permitted microsieverts 500 per hour to 882. Even so, the company that operates the plant, Tokyo Electric Power Corporation (TEPCO), continues to insist that these levels do not pose a danger to human health. But his credibility leaves much to be desired among the Japanese since, in 2002, its president was forced to resign along with four other executives after acknowledging that Habanos distorted reports on the security of its facilities.
This disaster can become a new Chernbil That is what, anguished, asks the world while the experts can not agree. At the moment, it is the most serious accident since. Japan's own Administration has placed on level 4 of the International Nuclear Event Scale and radiological, ranging from 0 to 7 and is headed by the Ukrainian central tragedy whose consequences then continues mostrndose today in the form of malignant tumors and malformations horrendous. There follows, at level 5, is located the accident in 1979 at Three Mile Island (Harrisburg, Pa.), the American central nucleus which is molten releasing large amount of radioactive material.
To make matters worse, the government also decreed a state of emergency in Onagawa plant, the more close to the epicenter of the earthquake, by detecting a rise in radioactivity levels higher than allowed, according to the IAEA. And in Tokai, 120 kilometers from Tokyo, the pumping system refrigeracin circuits has stopped working.
To collapse
Nipn the archipelago to the brink of collapse and paralyzed production in the factories of multinationals such as Toyota, Honda, Nissan and Mitsubishi, the prime minister announced power cuts of up to three hours a day to ensure supply to the affected provinces. So far, the number of deaths from the earthquake and tsunami rises 1,350-ams, but may exceed 10,000. In addition, the Police Miyagi, one of the most affected prctures, can not find 9,500 of the 17,000 inhabitants of Minamisanriku, a town literally wiped off the map.
In total, 20,800 buildings have been destroyed or damaged, 5.5 million people were left without electricity and no running water millnms. To this must be added the scarcity of food in supermarkets, especially in areas ms dramtica punished and difficult to access by cutting communications and transport. To direct the search and rescue tasks, the Government has doubled the number of soldiers mobilized to 100,000, which coordinarn humanitarian aid arrived from seventy countries.
But worse is that the empire of the rising sun continues on the mercy of nature. The replicas are constant and experts have warned that there is a 70% chance that any of them before Wednesdays exceed 7 degrees of magnitude. Afterwards, the probability is reduced to 50% in an area of aa500 kilometers long and 200 wide off the coast of Ibaraki and Miyagi. The population question whether this prediction is a comfort or a harbinger of more troubles.
