Gundersen Postulates Unit 3 Explosion May Have Been Prompt Criticality in Fuel Pool

Good 8:10 video by Arne Gunderson:

When building 3 of the Fukushima Daiichi plant exploded last month, those who saw the video footage were left to wonder why it was more severe than the other explosions. Adding to the mystery were reports that the containment and reactor in building 3 were still intact. Gundersen discusses several known facts about Fukushima 3 and theorizes on a possible scenario leading to the explosion.

1. Perhaps we'll know more of the real truth in 20-30 years or so......nt

2. Don't know about you but I have kicked a few bucks

his way. His information has been invalulable

3. Again, I think this analysis is spot on by Arne

The comparative videos of "blasts," at each, #1 vs #3

Detonation vs deflagation (really interesting point about the rates of shock wave travel and what results from each)

Upward vector of "blast," at #3 vs the milder smaller gray-smoked event at #1.

The fact that traces of uranium isotopes were found as far away as 2 kilometers following #3's blast.

The flame visible out of the south end of #3, wherein #1 had no such flame visible also bolsters the detonation vs deflagration analysis.

Last part of his presentation essentially says we don't have all the evidence of all this yet, but he thinks our government does, as our military was nearby monitoring when #3's blast occured and they no doubt have air samples.

Really interesting again from him and he has to keep us informed. He is like a friendly uncle telling us all in a calm manner what is going down. A cool head amongst the frustration of not having reliable updated data.

I would rather know than not know.
