By Dr. Tom Burnett – “Fukushima is going to dwarf Chenobyl. The Japanese government has had a level 7 nuclear disaster going for almost a week but won’t admit it.

The disaster is occurring the opposite way than Chernobyl, which exploded and stopped the reaction. At Fukushima, the reactions are getting worse. I suspect three nuclear piles are in meltdown and we will probably get some of it.

If reactor 3 is in meltdown, the concrete under the containment looks like lava.  But Fukushima is not far off the water table.

It will explode ­ not a nuclear explosion, but probably enough to involve the rest of the reactors and fuel rods at the facility.”  Read more.
