In addition, according to some Japanese data, some of which are not yet reflected the situation at Fukushima is not under control.

First, 400 tons of water every day will come, sent by the operator TEPCO to cool the nuclear reactions that are continuing, are contaminated, and in addition to 280,000 tons of contaminated water are already there. In addition, there is the central hundreds of tons of highly contaminated materials. According to reports, (obtained from workers on site, it should be confirmed or, hopefully, reverse), the level of radioactivity in the first three reactors (whose hearts are entered into merger) would 800 millisieverts (unit assessment of the impact of radiation on humans) in the reactor 1, 880 millisieverts in reactor 2, 1510 millisieverts in reactor 3. But a man dies quickly when exposed to a level of 1,000 millisieverts. And reactor 4, empty the tsunami, contained 1,131 spent fuel assemblies, or 14,225 bars in the pool extremely weakened by the tsunami, and probably by a hydrogen explosion, poorly explained.

While Chernobyl, a protective dome was built in seven months, mobilizing 300,000 people, including 30,000 soldiers, in Fukushima, the radiation level is such that even a suicide bomber could operate there for more than a few seconds , and can not use robots anywhere , because the plant is too damaged.

Within a radius of 15 kilometers, the cities are empty, a little later, there was a significant increase in leukaemia and breast cancer, at sea, in front of the station, 1 km from the coast, were found in fish more than 2000 Bq / kg (ie, the number of radioactive disintegrations per second in a kilogram of matter) 4 times the maximum tolerated, even with other fish, rare standard, up to 7400 times cesium the maximum tolerated limit. And as the contamination spreads by plankton and small fish that eat sludge containing radioactive substances, we find 120 km from Fukushima, fish with 380 Bq / kg and it is spreading to the Bay of Tokyo. At the current rate, according to the IAEA, decontamination would take at least four decades.

And during that time, many things can happen, especially one begins to fear that the plant breaks before decontamination is complete.

On the one hand, the containment structures are being broken on the other hand, according to several experts, the signs are multiplying a future earthquake offshore, off-Osaka or Nagoya in the Fukushima area , greater than magnitude 6, which can cause under certain conditions a tsunami more than 10 meters high. Very recently (on 13 and 21 April), several earthquakes of such magnitude, or more aftershocks have occurred in the region of Fukushima, on land or at sea

In this case, the cooling system would break down, the walls would break containment, the 280,000 tons of contaminated water déverseraient in the ground and in the sea; unit 4 would be destroyed and irradiated rods are no longer protected. The consequences would be immense, for the entire Japan, and beyond. This should include removing the 30 million people in the Tokyo area.

Last problem at sea, there are waste tsunami equivalent volume, said, “two Mount Fuji.” And as the Japanese have technology to retrieve the debris only within 30 meters of depth, only the coastal area has been cleared, leaving the majority of debris floating at sea

As the Japanese seem to minimize these problems, which are not within the reach of Japanese technology, a general mobilization of the world is necessary, if you do not want to have terrifying consequences for humanity. The next G8 summit in London in June to decide that Fukushima is not a Japanese problem, but a global problem.
