Fukushima: If Number 4 Collapses, Japan Will Be Evacuated fukushima reactor 4 fuel poolFukushima Daiichi Reactor building 4 with its exposed fuel pool.

Chris Canine – who has 15 years experience as a health physics technician, chemist and radiation safety instructor – told Energy News that if number 4 reactor fuel pool at Fukushima collapses, Japan will be evacuated.

He did not elaborate on how such a logistical nightmare would be accomplished.

Canine worked at Fukushima in the late 1970s and has also worked at over twenty nuclear plants in the United States, Japan and Mexico.

He wrote:

There are several reasons why I believe the country will be evacuated if the #4 SFP collapses. The amount of radioactive material in the fuel pool dwarfs the total amount at Chernobyl by a factor of 5 to 10. Chernobyl’s core was still mostly contained in a building (although heavily damaged), and most of the radioactive material melted downward and became lava like. If #4 SFP collapses it will be lying on the completely open ground, probably going critical on and off in portions of the pile for years. The dose rate from this pile will make dropping sand or anything from the air much more lethal than anything at Chernobyl. And probably impossible. The entire site at Fukushima will be uninhabitable and unworkable because of the dose rate coming from this pile of fuel. That means there will be no control of the other fuel pools, and we could lose control of them.

Nuclear experts will soft sell the ramifications because that is how the industry works. When the experts “have concerns” about the situation at #4 that means they are pooping their pants. My experience at Fukushima was 30 years ago. I worked in the industry for about 15 years as a health physics technician. I was also referred to as a “nuclear gypsy” because I traveled from plant to plant working outages. That meant I was always in the middle of the hottest jobs in the heart of the plant. The engineers will talk about this part or that part of a plant, but I have been all those places wearing full gear.

In late February of this year it was reported that the Japanese government considered evacuating the country’s most populous city, Tokyo.

A number of experts have called for evacuating areas of the country due to high radiation levels. Australian physician and anti-nuclear activist Dr. Helen Caldicott said in August that response by the Japanese government to the radiation danger posed by the destroyed plant has not been sufficient.

“The number of people evacuated is nothing compared to the total number of people at risk in Fukushima, which has a population of around two million or so in the prefecture,” Caldicott said.

She called for the immediate evacuation of the area northwest of Fukushima where people have been exposed to massive amounts of radiation. “The levels at which the Russians evacuated Chernobyl was at 500,000 becquerels,” she explained, “they have measured in these areas levels of between 3.5 and 14.5 million becquerels.”

Earlier this month, the Japanese newspaper Mainichi reported that TEPCO, the plant operator, had requested government permission to abandon the stricken facility following hydrogen explosions at the number 1 and 3 reactors and this “may very well have meant evacuating all of eastern Japan.”

  1. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH

    evacuate ALL OF JAPAN TO FUCKING WHERE EXACTLY?

    what country will accept an irradiated population dragging all of their irradiated shit with them?

    Who is going to foot that massive bill?

    certainly not TEPCO!

    and, even if by some miracle of god the entire country is evacuated, the problem is still there and the now abandoned other nuke plants are ticking timebombs.

    there are millions of inbred muzzies that would jump at the chance to get their hands on some jap-plutonium or jap-cessium to make some dirty bombs to lite off in is-real-hell……

    hey wait a minute…….

    I think i just figured out the silver lining in all of this…..

    They will be sent to your home town!

    And it will be financially covered through “too big to fail tax bailouts”
    The Nuclear power companies will pay nothing
    And the world will be filled with radioactive cesium
    The people who don’t have cancer will be hunted by those who do out of sheer envy!

    CO2 is good for you

  2. (If) what a qualifier for this story.

    (When)

  3. That makes no sense. Where are 100 million people going to go?
    There is not going to be any evacuation. It is all about LIE AND DIE. They lie while everyone will die.

    At this point no nation with two brain cells will accept Japanese immigrants, period.

    Agenda 21 housing

  4. no matter how you feel about nuke power or the goverments handling of the issue (or tepcos)
    you have to feel sad for the innocent people caught in this nightmare.
    they are stuck on a freeking irradiated island with this shit , with no where to go.

    What an understatement.

    Nightmare for certain.

  5. Pull the switch Vanhelsing! No I do not feel like it….

  6. Japan should face a Large Carbon Tax to fix this.”Carbon”is wrecking the Planet,and Nuclear Power is not hurting the Earth at all.The GREEN POLICE can fix this with a World Wide Carbon Tax.

  7. Amazing, and Fukushima #4 didn’t have the reactor running ? Unhooked ! This means the radiation level around those plants are unattainable to say the least, what a coincidence ! I like coincidences, they remind me of JFK, and his son. Well, I’d say, they’d have to divide up and draw lots on who goes where ? …..there’s no hope for Japan.

  8. The Japanese government made the initial mistake of allowing the nuclear facilities in their country. With the earthquakes and everything else associated with the “Ring of Fire”, there is no legitimate reason for allowing nuclear facilities in Japan. What greedy politicians got rich off of the bad decision? What country was involved in bullying the Japanese to do such a thing? I guess the answer to the last question is an easy one.

  9. It will be a sad day indeed imagine all the nuclear plants in USA ?

    Now FACEBOOK fanatics how do you love the great fraud on wallstreet ?

    you love investing your hard earned money or your easy drug earned money what ever the case????

    Keep worshiping the Bill Gates and friends of this planet. They will fix you all real good.

  10. This is no time for dumb-witted remarks. We’re witnessing the demise of a Grand civilization. Hum… it ended through a most tragic event: America is ending because of cultured stupidity and engineered obeisity.

  11. Japan is just the beginning… Japan has good people but they are also rule by devils….
