Deadly Silence on Fukushima

Quote:
I received the following email a few days ago from a Russian nuclear physicist friend who is an expert on the kinds of gases being released at Fukushima. Here is what he wrote:

"About Japan: the problem is that the reactor uses "dirty" fuel. It is a combination of plutonium and uranium (MOX).

I suspect that the old fuel rods have bean spread out due to the explosion and the surrounding area is contaminated with plutonium which means you can never return to this place again.

It is like a new Tchernobyl. Personally, I am not surprised that the authority has not informed people about this".

I have been following the Fukushima story very closely since the earthquake and devastating tsunami. I have asked scientists I know, nuclear physicists and others about where they find real information. I have also watched as the news has virtually disappeared. There is something extremely disturbing going on

Things do seem awfully quiet on the Eastern front.

Note to self: If you receive an email from a Russian nuclear physicists and want to use it to lend authority to a point being made....edit spelling mistakes! Wink

As a journalist she'd be legally obliged to leave his words unedited. So as to retain authenticity. Newspapers have been sued often enough for misquoting people.

Why a new thread? Put this on the other thread where it belongs (and where it supports what I have been saying all along. Oh, OK, that's why you started a new one - didn't want to admit I was right).
