another core fire 1 hr ago By mcalli (Read 578 times)

As most of you have probably read, 2 more after quakes, each 6.something hit Tokeo Tueday night (their time). About one hour ago reactor number 2 in tokeo started burning. They (The experts)are now predicting that this radiation will hit world food supplies according to internet news.

this event is going to have a world wide impact. Lets hope that the United Nations or some other world organization could pass some type of legislation that a nuke power reactor could not be built within so many miles of a fault line.

Scary thought- we have plants like this in california. If this happens here the radiation would affect our whole country. I think our congress should legislate that all nuclear reactors with in a certain number of miles of a fault line, should be closed down and arrangements for the safe disposal of all nuclear waste at these facilities should be done pronto.

Some may call it extreme, but I call it common sense prevention

Just read that 3 GE scientists resigned from the panel that was designing these reactors
stating that they were not considering the effects that earthquakes and other disruptions
might have on the reactors cores. That was in the 70s.
Well, appears they were correct and we now know what can happen. These are the same
reactors that we have in this country.
Whoa Nelly!!!!
The basically inefective UN is said to now be broke also and must cut back on some of its
programs.
As we would say down here in the south, Its every body for himself and Katie bar the door!
Tokyo is now neck deep in this latest ongoing disaster. The worlds stock markets are in
free fall, radiation may be spread by the wind and that, as Mac points out, might contaminate
food supplies around the world.
What Mac suggests is only common sense, a quality that seems to be in short supply right now.

Don't forget about the radiation that is leaking into the ocean. This will also contaminate the fish which would make eating fish very unhealthy. Also, fish would die and fish that were born from radio active fish could be deformed or sterile which would result in a fish shortage for years to come. I don't think all the ramifactions of this disaster have truly been realized by me or anyother people. There is stuff that we haven't even thought about yet.

Of course, if our government acts as it usually does, they will say that there is no problem with the reactors in California being on a fault line and they will make up some stupid excuse that they think the american public will fall for. THen in the future, CA will have "the big one" and the nuclear reactors will spew radiation like there is no tomorrow (which, come to think of it, there won't be for many). Then we will all sit and say why?as we slowly die of cancer. Why did the governement not close down these reactors? And once again the government will come up with some cornball excuse that the american people will have to swallow. Makes me mad because it will happen, and it could have been prevented.

And why will the gov. not do anything about it now? Because the utility lobbyists don't want them to and the lobbyists are the ones who really control congress. not the people of the US. And the lobbyists don't want the reactors shut down. Why? you may ask. Because of GREED AND THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR!!!!

I am beginning to understand tribulation as written in the Bible. Man will destroy the earth with his greed!

I'm very sorry for the ranting and raving, this is not usually how I am. But this whole thing makes me very angry.

[wolfhound]

Rave away. Mac. When you are right you are right.

[zugzug]

Actually it doesnt say man will destroy the earth in the bible. The Messiah will return before we manage to do that. The events of the past year do seem like we are leading up to his return though.

[mcalli]

You are correct zug zug. I was typing fast and I was upset. What I should have said is that I am understand Revelations and Daniel better as time goes on and we head toward the second coming of Christ. Man is doing a fine job of distroying the world.

Only God knows when the Second Coming will occur. I am not willing to second guess Him.
I believe that The Second Coming will happen quietly but will rapidly gain recognition. Until
then man should do all with in reason to protect our environment so that when He returns
He will find this world better than it is now.
