West Coast USA Danger IF Japan Nuclear Reactor Meltdown. Watch The Black Knight - Returns Online Metacritic. Nuclear Meltdown Alert – follow updates here – scroll down“If they can’t restore power to the plant (and cool the reactor), then there’s the possibility of some sort of core meltdown”.

An alarming statement made by James Acton, a physicist who examined Japan’s Kashiwazaki nuclear plant after a 2. CNN that Japanese authorities are in race to cool down the Fukushima reactor. Following the fifth largest earthquake in recorded world history, a magnitude 9. Japan’s nuclear power reactors, one of which, the Fukushima reactor, is overheating and in danger of a meltdown if coolant is not restored soon.

It’s like a pressure cooker… when you have something generating heat and you don’t cool it off or release the steam…Reported from abc NEWS, Scientists said that even though the reactor had stopped producing energy, its fuel continues to generate heat and needs steady levels of coolant to prevent it from overheating and triggering a dangerous cascade of events. They go on to say, “Up to 1. Cesium- 1. 37 content of the pools could go up in flames and smoke, to blow downwind over large distances,”“Given the large quantity of irradiated nuclear fuel in the pool, the radioactivity release could be worse than the Chernobyl nuclear reactor catastrophe of 2. Kevin Kamps, a nuclear waste specialist. Fukushima I (there are two plant locations) is one of the 2. How would a nuclear plant meltdown unfold? Control rods are driven back down into the core upon emergency (if rods don’t make it all the way… trouble) The coolant (water) could cease if backup systems fail (electricity, pumps, generators, batteries) Reactor continues to produce heat Numerous venting valve systems would release pressure above ~1,0.

Eventually the uranium fuel encasement metal will melt (2,2. F) Radioactive contamination then released into the reactor vessel Radiation escapes into an outer, concrete containment building Radiation escapes into the environment as radioactive Fallout. Not only would such a disaster be horrible for the local region and Japan, but other countries, namely the U. S. could be effected next by airborne fallout of  radiation particles, the magnitude of which is yet to be determined. Why would the west coast USA be in danger  of Fallout? The prevailing jet stream winds are blowing from Japan directly across the Pacific ocean to the west coast of the United States.

Weather. com. Update,BBC News Asia- Pacific is now reporting that radiation levels inside the nuclear reactor are 1,0. They report that people are being evacuated in an approximate 6- mile perimeter. Map of Nuclear Power Plant Reactors in Japan. Fukushima Power Plant, Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) diagram. Update,The Washington Post reports that a second nuclear reactor in the Fukushima power plant is also affected. The plant has a total of six reactors.

Reports only a few hours left on battery power for cooling systems. Update,Clarification from NHK Wolrd News Japan… a second location, Fukushima II, not far from the Fukushima I nuclear power plant, is also experiencing cooling problems. The government’s Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency said equipment failures have made it impossible to cool 3 of the plant’s 4 reactors. Watch The Mender Of Nets Online Movies24free. Translation: ‘impossible’ is not a good word). Update,Reuters is now reporting that Tokyo Electric Power Company has lost ability to control pressure at some of the reactors at its Fukushima II (Daini) plant nearby the Daiichi power plant (Fukushima I), both suffering from core cooling problems.

If battery power at Fukushima II is depleted before AC power is restored, the plant will stop supplying water to the core and the cooling water level in the reactor core will drop. Update,Kyodo news reports that the cooling system has now failed at three nuclear reactors at Fukushima II, and the coolant water temperature has reached boiling level. Update,Kyodo news reports, “the operator of the two plants in Fukushima Prefecture is set to release pressure in containers housing their reactors under an unprecedented government order, so as to avoid the plants sustaining damage and losing their critical containment function.” …”the action would involve the release of steam that would likely include radioactive materials”Update,From Kyodo news, Japan, URGENT: Concerns of core partially melting at Fukushima nuke plant. The core at Fukushima No. No. 1 reactor may be partially melting, the nuclear safety agency said Saturday. Reuters, Japan authorities: TEPCO plant fuel rods may have melted - Jiji, …could develop into a breach of the nuclear reactor vessel and the question then becomes one of how strong the containment structure around the vessel is and whether it has been undermined by the earthquake.

Update,Reuters, An explosion was heard and smoke was seen at the Tokyo Electric Power Company Fukushima No. Jiji news agency quoted the police as saying on Saturday. Outer structure of building that houses reactor at Fukushima plant appears to have blown off – NHK by Reuters_Tony.

Update,From The Associated Press, An explosion at a nuclear power station Saturday destroyed a building housing the reactor…the explosion destroyed the exterior walls of the building where the reactor is placed, but not the actual metal housing enveloping the reactor. In 1. 98. 6, the Chernobyl nuclear reactor exploded and caught fire, sending a cloud of radiation and Fallout over much of Europe. That reactor – unlike the Fukushima one – was not housed in a sealed container, so there was no way to contain the radiation once the reactor exploded.

Things to know about Cesium- 1. IF” there is a complete meltdown and radioactive Fallout released into the environment(also spelled, Caesium)Where does cesium- 1. Radioactive cesium- 1. Examples of the uses of this process are nuclear reactors and nuclear weapons.

What is the half life of cesium- 1. The half- life of cesium- 1. Because of the chemical nature of cesium, it moves easily through the environment.

This makes the cleanup of cesium- 1. How do people come in contact with cesium- 1. Walking on contaminated soil could result in external exposure to gamma radiation. People may ingest cesium- 1. It is distributed fairly uniformly throughout the body’s soft tissues. Exposure may also be external (that is, exposure to its gamma radiation from outside the body).

How can cesium- 1. Exposure to radiation from cesium- 1. If exposures are very high, serious burns, and even death, can result. The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency says everyone is exposed to minute amounts of cesium- 1.
