MidnightWatcher – Prophecy in Motion

Physicist Michio Kaku on Fukushima:  “If they have another aftershock … the accident could start all over again … In the last two weeks, everything we knew about that accident has been turned upside down.  We were told three partial meltdowns, ‘don’t worry about it.’   Now we know it was 100% core-melt in all three reactors.  ‘Radiation minimal that was released’.  Now we know it was comparable to the radiation at Chernobyl.  And as far as evacuation, ‘yeah 12 miles that’s it.  You don’t have to evacuate beyond 12 miles.’  Now they find hot-spots.  Four hot-spots outside the evacuation zone.  34,000 school children now have radiation badges when they go to school, down to 4 years of age!  Could you imagine that, kindergarten kids with radiation badges going to school?  So all the mythology of the accident has been turned upside down because utility has finally fessed up to how severe this accident really was…

We tried to reconstruct the accident in our computers given the feeble amount of information they gave us.  We knew it was much more severe than they were saying because radiation was coming out left and right.  So, in other words, they lied to us.  They knew how much radiation was coming out.  They knew the danger.  They knew how much core melting was taking place, but they tried to put a ‘happy face’ on it…

As you know workers are being sent in and they’re getting like a year’s dose of radiation just within, like, 10 minutes at a time…  [This will take] 50 to 100 years [to clean up]… cleanup hasn’t even started yet.  They’re not in cold shutdown until next year…

This could be the grand-daddy of all industrial accidents … this could be the world’s record holder for an industrial accident … Realize that at Chernobyl, it was just one core’s worth of radiation causing a $200 billion accident, and it’s still ongoing.  Here was have 20 core’s worth of radiation — 3 totally melted, one damaged, and the rest in spent fuel ponds…”
