not to turn it into a revolution thread......but real regime change here means scrapping it all, not just who lives in the white house as we have operated the same way regardless of who is president

Look at the bright side: extra grip on oil filters.

This thread is going downhill but, unfortunately, so are the reactors. Try toggling between status reports over less than 24 hours:

What are you suggesting?
Guns, ammos, fuel, can opener, camping gears, SUVs, beers, engine oils, water, and lots of caffeine (tea bags).

South America is looking better to me all the time.... maybe Widman can take us all in for a while.

Wow, I could make a list of who's watching American Network news by the responses in this thread.
it seems the japanese are slowly losing this battle. they think two reactor containment vessels are compromised, as well as a spent fuel pond boiling and possibly exposing the spent fuel that could leade to the fuel becoming critical.....not good
Deeply serious stuff:
From Twitter:
"Reuters: Some U.S. air crews in Japan given potassium iodide tablets ahead of missions as a precaution against radiation."
"EU energy chief: Japan situation out of control Catastrophic events could unfold in the next few hours at Japan’s damaged nuclear site"

Remember, Japan had a couple large nuclear releases way back in 1945 and the US is doing just fine...
Same type? Same amount of fissionable material? Same chemical components and breakdown components? Same purity?
Not trying to hype or downplay. Trying to get the best of logical information to make a decent comparisson to previous situations.

WWII released a few pounds of Plutonian we are dealing with hundreds of tons. If those cores explode (thermally)...the world is History.

Is it time to duck and cover ?

I just heard the Japanese brought in a Water Cannon!!
"In a sign of desperation, police will try to cool spent nuclear fuel at one of the facility's reactors with water cannon, normally used to quell riots."
