Arnie once again, thank you.

1. Arnie did another one already?

Ut oh, something is not good no doubt. Today he was in Johnston, Vermont where he was part of the group that successfully stopped the Vermont Yankee power plant operation from going forward.

2. The frequency of Arnie's posts.....

...only makes the absence of "any" government reports to inform and/or warn its citizens, that much more glaring.

4. Yes, and this time he's calling for the US government to give the data

it surely has regarding that explosion.

I smell a cover up and I feel disgusted. US citizens have a right to know. We also have a right to know more about EPA testing and now it is getting much more obvious that the plutonium and uranium showing up are coming from Fukushima.

Volatalized plutonium, uranium, americum ... just great to have that scattered into our ecosystem and food chain

5. Off topic but it's funny I think Arnie

suffers from teacher syndrome, once a teacher always a teacher, and he knows he has a worldwide classroom waiting for the next lesson!

Heh, it's a compulsive sort of thing.. but we benefit because he is so conscientious and coming
off of a great victory in Vermont today where the continuation of the Vermont Yankee nuclear
(super leaky) plant was stopped by Arnie and a dozen others.

3. Prompt critical excursion.

Plausible theory. Be interested in seeing the supporting evidence.

Smaller scale, just being fuel rods sitting in storage, non-operational, but this *type* of excursion is what blew apart Chernobyl's core and tossed that 22 ton lid into the air like a child's toy.

6. So TEPCO is violating the CTBT, now?

So, an hydrogen explosion deflagration turns a "safe" nuclear reactor fuel pool into an provisional, inefficient, nuclear bomb, whose detonation vectors upward due to the walls of the fuel pool, putting aersolized fuel including uranium and plutonium into atmosphere and the jet stream.

This nuclear technology is so cool.

[AtheistCrusader]

7. I don't think they can know that for sure yet.

Nor is it the only possibility. (wouldn't really call it a bomb either, but semantics given what happened if that was the mechanism)

8. The best source of information on Fukushima. n/t
