SPECIAL POST
Contaminated water in and around the Fukushima plant is preventing workers from reconnecting and powering up all systems, systems needed to start cooling the nuclear reactors. Because containment vessels are full, they had to drain 10,000 tons of water above and beyond what is leaking into the ocean to make room for more cooling water to be sprayed on the junk heap.
Efforts over the weekend to clog the existing leak with a special polymer, sawdust and even shredded newspapers failed to slow the flow at a cracked concrete maintenance pit near the shoreline. The water in that leak contains radioactive iodine at rates 10,000 times the legal limit.
Radioactive Cesium is reaching China. The levels of radiation continue to be elevated in the U.S., particularly along the West Coast. It appears that less and less information is being released on any of these issues.
That's MY AMERICAN REPORT, respectfully submitted.
