Just going to leave this here. just minutes ago announced that an emergency at the unstable Fukushima Nuclear Plant less than an hour ago is responsible for dumping “thousands of tons of highly radioactive material into the Pacific Ocean.” - "calling for the immediate evacuation of residents within a 50 miles radius of the facility claiming the leaked material has caused the ocean to boil for several hundred yards offshore from the crippled plant "http://nationalreport.net/breaking -fukushima-crisis-escalates-tons-ra dioactive-waste-released-pacific-ca uses-ocean-boil/" Is this bad /sci? and if how bad is it ?

Guess they dun goofed. Japan is like that, too proud to ask for help when they need it. I have a hard time believing anything but the surface water boiled though

The 1200 spent rods in pool 3 are due to begin being moved in November. Hope they don't touch.

>>6002529 Here's the full graph, notice the units are in Becquerels per meter square? Well look at the reddest red, that's 1000 Bq per meter square. You have 4000 Bq of radioactivity from the potassium in you. In other words, you'd probably receive a higher dose of radiation from being around other people than you would from the reddest red. TL;DR, it's more diluted than homeopathic medicine

>>6002529 ...but credible news sources don't mention anything about boiling oceans or the end of the world I thought that was kind of the important part, sort of the difference between "tough luck for the local fishing industry" and "we're all going to die"

>>6002570 Yeah if the oceans started boiling, then the Japanese would have to have thrown weapons grade fissile material into the ocean. The ocean is full of a reactor poison.

>>6002579 This just made me think about ghost in the shell, when they go back to an old portion of japan that is now flooded, and some secret section of the government is trying to retrieve uranium from a plant.

>>6002480 if the ocean was boiling several hundred yards offshore, then one could expect even higher levels of radioactivity (and thus temperature) in the actual reactor core. that would mean the core was once again in full-melt down, and would almost certainly mean a major explosion/fire. this is not happening. ergo, the claim is false. (but the situation is extremely FUBAR, fukushima containment should have been a major international concern from day 1)
