It isn't just that Fukushima represents a fuck up of biblical proportions on a schedule to remind future generations of our folly ice ages from now.
It isn't that Fukushima is slowly poisoning a nation of people whose culture, based on NEVER FUCKING UP, was at or near the epitome of human society.
It isn't the incalculable damage done and being done to the Pacific Ocean, the environment and future generations of Japanese, or even that their island may eventually become largely uninhabitable. It isn't the probable legacy of cancer and various other diseases that will be born into the chemistry of Japanese people hereafter.
It isn't that we, they, tptb, the mighty technological race of modern man doesn't know wtf to do now to fix or even contain the toxic cauldron that is Fukushima.
No, what it is is far more base. Far more elementary. Far more powerful and far more endemic within our species.
What it is about Fukushima that matters, that makes a difference, that defines our species is that we created Fukushima without a clue in the world what to do if tshtf.
We had no plan, none, whatsoever!
Just like we still don't have a plan for disposing of the nuclear waste scattered all over the planet at nuclear power facilities and military bases just waiting to become another impossible problem of biblical proportions.
All that to get plutonium so we could destroy one another within 30 minutes from remote silos and underground command centers.
Gee, I guess it's worth it when you put it that way. NOT!!!!
Anyway, I guess I see why Elon Musk appears to be urgent in his quest to provide our species a plan B on some other planet.
But Elon the same kind of thinking that created this mess here, is gonna follow you'ins there.
I am reminded of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p86BPM1GV8M
No fucking wonder I am a misanthrope.
While Fukushima isn't nearly the threat to humanity you represent it as, you also make some really damn fine points, here. Our desire to forge ahead far outstrips our capacity for planning ahead. This may well end us in fairly short time, right here in the toddler stage of human evolution.

This is how humans roll. It was designed to be a disaster. The back up generators - which could ONLY be necessary in a flood - were on the ground instead of on the roof, and were thus knocked out by the water. That one little fucking detail, which would have been absolutely obvious to a maintenance tech, was completely overlooked by the engineers.
Leaving aside the entire idea of nuclear power, leaving aside the Japanese cultural idea (and they are not alone in this) that you don't question technical authority, what this comes down to is people who are trained to design by the book vs people who are trained to handle or repair things when the chips are down,
and their absolute inability and unwillingness to communicate.
I could write a book on this. And it's worth mentioning that the fault is not entirely with the engineers. Not by a long shot.

You should look at the political disaster that is Brexit currently.
We decided to leave the world's largest market, and 40+ years of the legislative framework most of our laws were created in....with absolutely no plan. Granted, Fukushima is a bit more important in most senses (especially since only 2 people I can think of have died as a result of Brexit), but it should give you an idea of the kind of mentality we're talking about here.
And then you can look at the postwar planning for Libya and Iraq, lack thereof.
It's almost like this is a running theme...

There was a running debate before they tested the first devices about whether or not a nuclear detonation would ignite all of the atmospheric oxygen globally. So natcherally they tried it to find out.

We roll like a square wheel sometimes.
It seems like General Electric designed the reactors at Fukushima. I vaguely recall that being true. That may account for that lack of communication. Dunno.
This reminds me of the logistical glitches that plagued the Dreamliner because they outsourced the design of components to the venders who made the components. So back home an Boeing they had neither the information nor the familiarity with the design of the components to trouble shoot or even test them properly.
Fukushima was part of our early programs to export US nuclear technology so we spread the risks instead of placing them all in our own back yards.
Now the folks involved in the Manhattan Project had a pretty good record of success. But the rest of our nuclear program was pock marked with myriad mistakes and errors of judgement.
Aren't all modern human attempts at mega organization subject to the same kind of clusterfvck due to miscommunication? Haven't we heard this story a million times?

QuoteUpon hearing the prospect of an uncontrolled atmospheric reaction, Oppenheimer set Hans Bethe to look into the matter. Bethe, using early IBM digital computers to achieve his results, calculated that a fission reaction could not induce a thermonuclear reaction in the open atmosphere. Research resumed and the first A-Bomb was constructed.
What do words mean? I just don't know.
What is the difference between nitrogen and oxygen? If only science could tell us!
What is "oxygen-rich"? I'm seriously asking, not trying to pull anyone's tail. The wording suggests at least 50% oxygen, yeah? But before I wrote this post, I thought it was ~30%, and I looked it up just now and it's really 20ish.

Here's a secret newb. Despite what is spilling into water and food table the situation @ Chernobyl is still worse long term. The ability of a runaway core to destabilize the subatomic nature of even lead (thermium IIRC) is somewhat mitigated by a crystallization process in water.
One day, millennia from now thecore@Chernobyl (meaning wild wormwood :fnord:) will breach the containment and hit the water table. Before that it will essentially destabilize all matter around it permanently. After... well at least by then our children's childrens' children's children's bastard mutants will all be dead.

The severity of the Fukushima thing is partly an illusion. While borked nuclear plants like fukushima and chernobyl briskly and severely destroy the environment they do it in a relatively contained area and mostly jist when they break, whereas conventional power plants slowly, imperceptably like the proverbial boiled frog, but steadily poison the entire world.

While borked nuclear plants like fukushima and chernobyl briskly and severely destroy the environment they do it in a relatively contained area and mostly jist when they break, whereas conventional power plants slowly, imperceptably like the proverbial boiled frog, but steadily poison the entire world.
There is a lotta truth in that post, which is why Gates and others in the elite 1% are investing in new generations of nuclear reactors that are often scaled down and made to recycle existing waste. And those new reactors may in fact solve most of the problems associated with nuclear waste. But they won't get down on their knees and do mop up.

Huh. OP seems to feel concerned about one instance in over 200,000 successful tests. Most under water.
Here's a secret newb. Despite what is spilling into water and food table the situation @ Chernobyl is still worse long term. The ability of a runaway core to destabilize the subatomic nature of even lead (thermium IIRC) is somewhat mitigated by a crystallization process in water.
One day, millennia from now thecore@Chernobyl (meaning wild wormwood :fnord:) will breach the containment and hit the water table. Before that it will essentially destabilize all matter around it permanently. After... well at least by then our children's childrens' children's children's bastard mutants will all be dead.
HI NIGEL!! GLAD TO SEE YOU BROUGHT THE DICKS!!!
What else would an illiterate, ignorant inbred bring to a battle of wits?
Trick questions?
That was only half a joke. Really don't know what you mean Nigel. :?
The newb (AIBRFWHFLKSAHGFSG) called Nigel an ignorant inbred. Nigel inserts sarcastic agreement with such statement when someone references her debating abilities or contributions. You referenced her provisioning of phalli. Nigel inserted sarcastic agreement with the newb's insult in reference to your display of gratitude for providing said phalli.
Most of that was 404, for me.
Think this is Chaos Advocate 2.0
Time for an uninvited upgrade
Newb. You're a damn fool for walking in here. Trust that.
Sorry, I'm a pedantic asshole. She was making a sarcastic reference to the newb's assertion that she is an inbred retard.

I get that. I just didn't have the understanding because I haven't gotten "caught up" here yet and aus idjit here hasn't posted any topics I otherwise find interesting.
Also... no apologies. If I need one you can be sure I'll be looking for one. Otherwise just assume I don't know shit at all times. Id rather be unnecessarily informed by an asshole pedant than otherwise. :)
