It's been my contention that the Powers That Be are not enthusiastic about Dr. Kaku's dire message about the Fukishima nuclear disaster. So he has not appeared so much on MSM in the last few weeks. He was at least on Good Morning America at the beginning.

Here's some of Dr. Kaku's comments from this soon to disappear video.

"It’s the managers. I keep having this mental image of the utility, it’s like Homer Simpson operating a nuclear powerplant."

"Lets just call out the military and bury the sucker*."

For my fellow DU Michio fans.

1. In the interest of accuracy, Kaku said '..bury the SUCKER'

not '..bury the fucker'

2. Thank you! I miss HBO...nt

3. I am a fellow fan...

I believe that Dr. Kaku is a realist, and is looking at the nuclear plant situation as a rational scientist. It must be equally distressing for him since this country is his heritage.

I also think you are correct, I don't think the MSM wants the truth to be told.

I haven't had a science hero since Carl Sagan's death...thank goodness for Dr. Kaku.

DR. MICHIO KAKU: Well, Tokyo Electric has been in denial, trying to downplay the full impact of this nuclear accident. However, there’s a formula, a mathematical formula, by which you can determine what level this accident is. This accident has already released something on the order of 50,000 trillion becquerels of radiation. You do the math. That puts it right smack in the middle of a level 7 nuclear accident. Still, less than Chernobyl. However, radiation is continuing to leak out of the reactors. The situation is not stable at all. So, you’re looking at basically a ticking time bomb. It appears stable, but the slightest disturbance—a secondary earthquake, a pipe break, evacuation of the crew at Fukushima—could set off a full-scale meltdown at three nuclear power stations, far beyond what we saw at Chernobyl.

AMY GOODMAN: What do you think has to be done now? I mean, one of the biggest problems is secrecy, both with the Tokyo company that runs the plants and also the government, the constant downplaying from the beginning. And yet, there are so many people who have been evacuated, who are demanding compensation. There was just a major protest at TEPCO with the people in the area who have been evaluated—no jobs, no money—saying, "We demand compensation."

DR. MICHIO KAKU: Well, TEPCO is like the little Dutch boy. All of a sudden we have cracks in the dike. You put a finger here, you put a finger there. And all of a sudden, new leaks start to occur, and they’re overwhelmed.

I suggest that they be removed from leadership entirely and be put as consultants. An international team of top physicists and engineers should take over, with the authority to use the Japanese military. I think the Japanese military is the only organization capable of bringing this raging accident under control. And that’s what Gorbachev did in 1986. He saw this flaming nuclear power station in Chernobyl. He called out the Red Air Force. He called out helicopters, tanks, armored personnel carriers, and buried the Chernobyl reactor in 5,000 tons of cement, sand and boric acid. That’s, of course, a last ditch effort. But I think the Japanese military should be called out.
