[Biofuel] David Suzuki's Fukushima Warning Is Dire And Scary

David Suzuki has issued a scary warning about Japan's Fukushima nuclear
plant, saying that if it falls in a future earthquake, it's bye bye Japan
and the entire west coast of North America should be evacuated.

The Nature of Things host made the comments in a talk posted to YouTube
after he joined Dr. David Schindler for Letting in the Light, a symposium
on water ecology held at the University of Alberta on Oct. 30 and 31.

An excerpt of the talk shows Suzuki outlining a frightening scenario that
would result from the destruction of the nuclear plant.

Fukushima is the most terrifying situation I can imagine, he said.

Three out of the four plants were destroyed in the earthquake and in the
tsunami. The fourth one has been so badly damaged that the fear is, if
there's another earthquake of a seven or above that, that building will go
and then all hell breaks loose.

And the probability of a seven or above earthquake in the next three years
is over 95 per cent.

Suzuki said that an international team of experts needs to go into the
Fukushima plant and help fix the problem, but said the Japanese government
has too much pride to admit that.

I have seen a paper which says that if in fact the fourth plant goes under
in an earthquake and those rods are exposed, it's bye bye Japan and
everybody on the west coast of North America should evacuate, he said.

If that isn't terrifying, I don't know what is.

Suzuki's warning came as radiation from the Fukushima plant has been
detected in northern Alaska and along the west coast , CBC News reported.

Radiation in Alaskan waters could reach Cold War levels, said Douglas
Dasher, a researcher at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, although John
Kelley, a professor emeritus at the same university, doesn't seem as
certain that it will reach dangerous levels for humans.

The data they will need is not only past data but current data, and if no
one is sampling anything then we won't really know it, will we, he told
the network.

I suspect the cloud from the pool at number 4 reactor would go around the Earth 
before it would be safe to go out in the rain. Basically it would be the winds 
aloft and the half life of iodine.
 There is enough plutonium in the MOX in the pool at number 4 to build AT LEAST 
10,000 devices the size we dropped on Nagasaki. Number 4 was part of the 
megatons to megawatts program.
