Jesus....Just when you think the worst has already happened. And worst thing is this country is one of the most prepared for such earthquakes....I hope the rest of the world will unite to provide support to these folks.

I blame Sector 7G. This is all Homer Simpson's fault.

Apparently there was no backup system for the diesel generators cooling down the core. Smart move, I bet that saved everybody a lot of money when constructing the plant.

The backup failed, it was meant to work off the backup power. Although you're right, they should have also prepared for the backup failing.

I believe the backup generators were washed away. Something about a 30 foot tsunami.

They have 8 hours battery power if diesels fail. Epic fail for speaking without knowing shit.

Actually I was aware of that. But having 8 hours of battery power to prevent a nuclear meltdown is what I call epic fail.

Right. First the electrical grid was shut off due to the quake, then plan "B" would be the deisel generator, but they were damaged in both facilities, and plan "C" was battery power. Unfortunately, the time it took to cool the core to safe levels outlasted the batteries, and the intense pressure blew the containment building (most likely, news is scarce). Literally everything that could go wrong went wrong.

Light water reactors do not pose any significant threat beyond 3Km. They cannot do example what happened at chernobyl.

aha and why they evacuate 20km around the reactor?

Maybe you are unaware that the operator of the plant has already stated that key systems they said could not fail, systems that had multiple redundant back ups, have failed, including emergency shut down systems.
It's nice to have faith in the experts but the industry tells us over and over again that they are prepared for the worst and that we should trust them. Clearly that is not the case.
Even the faithful should be able to see this massive fail but they are not. That is obvious when th More..

I'm afraid the jet stream would carry the radioactive material right into North America.

if it collapses within the next 7 days, it will.

Wonder if we can expect some radiation in a few days on the west coast of the US...

Don't worry. That will be nothing compared to when the big one hits CA, and the nuke plants here start melting down.

They are also reporting that radiation is leaking from one of the reactors through a structural failure

Is gonna be another chernobyl, looks like these reactors are in very isolated area location surrounded by water wich make the intervention even more difficult.

It's actually not going to be another chernobyl. When Chernobyl exploded the reactor was still active, in this case the reactor is already put out. Also in Chernobyl there was about 2000 tons of some kind of material, can't recall the name, wich burned for ten days spreading the radiation trough the smoke. That highly flamable material isnt used in building this plant.
Nonetheless, this is a serious enviromental and humanitarian disaster

Japanese news agencys reporting the reactor core is intact lets hope there not just saying that to prevent mass panic.

The plant is 100 times more powerful than Chernobyl

To build a nuke plant on the coast directly facing a major fault line in the earths crust. surely it was a disaster waiting to happen?

They should have built it below sea level then when all else fails....open the flood gates.

hey GENIUS...
google up the San Onofre nuke plant sometime..
on the beach...
less than 50 miles from the biggest goddamn quake fault in california...
moron.

News.com.au said this
"NHK says a high level of radiation has been detected in the area of the nuclear power plant. Levels measured 1015 parts: if people are exposed to this level of radiation for one hour, it is equal to the amount people are normally exposed to in one year."
Fuck.
