Quake took out Fukushima cooling system before tsunami

It wasn't only the massive tsunami that stripped the Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear power plant of its essential cooling capability on 11 March: the magnitude-9.0 megaquake had almost immediately caused a failure of the number 1 reactor's primary emergency backup cooling system, which uses the steam generated by the reactor to push coolant around it.

Japan's public broadcaster NHK says the news was revealed in the nuclear plant's operational records released by the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) on 16 May. "An emergency condenser system at the Number 1 reactor functioned for less than 10 minutes after the earthquake. The failure lasted for three hours," NHK World reports today. This early, pre-tsunami overheating may have speeded the reactor's meltdown.

The revelation will be seized on as further evidence that nuclear plants have no place in seismically active zones - even if they have high tsunami walls and backup power sources sited well above any potential high-water line.

Last week, prime minister Naoto Kan asked for - and got - the closure of what is thought to be Japan's worst placed nuclear plant, in Hamaoka, which straddles two subduction zones. It may re-open after a 15-metre tsunami wall is built in three years' time - but how backup cooling systems themselves cope with the severe physical agitation of megaquakes will doubtless now inform the wisdom of that decision.

Meanwhile, it is becoming increasingly clear that the Japanese government has been privately concerned that tsunamis posed strong threats to nuclear plants, while outwardly suggesting that the Fukushima magnitude-9.0 quake and 15-metre tsunami was "beyond expectations". The Mainichi Times unearthed a December 2010 report from the Japan Nuclear Energy Safety Organisation - a government body - that said:

Our analysis shows that a tsunami of a certain height - some 7 metres in the absence of a sea wall and some 15 metres if one were present - or higher would have almost a 100 per cent chance of damaging the reactor core.

The lack of action on such warnings is fuelling the growing notion in Japan that its nuclear power firms and the thicket of regulatory bodies (that often employ the former's retired staff, in a process called amakudari) have too many vested interests to regulate a safety-critical industry effectively. But similar worries are being expressed about the toothless nuclear regulatory situation elsewhere, such as the US.

There was some good news from Fukushima today, however. Nature News is blogging that the explosion at the plant's number 4 reactor building may not been caused by a hydrogen build-up from its own crippled reactor, but because hydrogen from the damaged number 3 reactor seeped through shared gas treatment pipework into reactors 4's building.

This might mean the fuel pile is unharmed and that consequently reactor 4 could take a lot less time, effort and risk to clear up.

Did you know that the United States Department of Defense has sought, since WWII, to perfect a subterranean nuclear bomb capable of causing powerful tsunamis. In 1944 and 1945, secret nucelar tests were conducted off the coast of New Zealand, for the purpose of observing calculated effects of water displacement.

Smart people don't allow themselves to be imprisoned to a nation state that is suckling off the teet of america, and bitch about it on message boards catered towards a weed smoking demographic...

Smart people show their intelligence by action and by removing themselves from those situations and don't blame outside sources for their self-inflicted tribulations...

Don't give me that I have a family to support bs either, we all have people that we are obligated to...

True, however I was born into this prison, I didn't allow anyone to imprison me. And only knowledge shall set us free.

I don't bitch about anything(well maybe about my people's stupidity), I spread relevant information hoping that other people get upset at the bullshit that we're fed and start bitching about it.

Assuming Im not smart because of the assumption that I don't perform any action is a sign of a not so smart person. Assuming out of an assumption is never a good idea.

I do what I can with what I can, what do you do? Bitch about the people who want things to change?

I don't have a family to support, fortunately that gives me time to delve in reading and educate myself, its the reason I came to see the cage.

Why are you attacking me though?

I bet you don't remember that Pakistan is still FUBAR.

Funny how we don't hear anything about that anymore.

I don't have to do a god damn thing because I don't make the kind of assertions or claims you do...I'm just a dude who enjoys getting baked and giving people shit, getting shit back on these forums..My expectations are grounded purely in the reality that people come here to relax and blow off steam, not to be bogged down with the same shit/counter points to all that is playing on repeat on the global media stream...Lighten up a bit and post some stuff in the other parts of the forums and I would think that you are a more rounded person, as is we only get the most deluded paranoid parts of your personality, which isn't very befitting...Take the "world is fucked" sandwich board off for 30 seconds and bring some light into the world instead of shining the light on all the darkness, all you are going to illuminate are the rats and roaches, which everyone is already well aware of....

We are the prisons we allow ourselves to be? thats bullshit, you can prove it easily, don't pay your taxes and see how free you become. Thats a conformist mentality.

Yeah I guess you don't have to do anything about anything, thats why I said that I post relevant information with the HOPE that some of you feel enough indignation to at least want to do something. But yeah you don't have to do anything, you'll be dead in 30 to 60 years, go waste them giving others shit.

I stick to this board because I care about politics and current affairs(as we all should), if I wanted to enjoy getting wasted and giving people shit I'd be at a bar. You want me to post on "today sucks because..." topics? "whats your favorite car?", "coke or pepsi? No thank you, thats a waste of time IMO, Im not into those shitty topics. I don't want you to think Im a rounded person, I give a shit about the world, and I don't feel the desire to post about silly stuff as long as there is real shitty stuff going on in our world.

My expectations of the politics forum is that we come here to discuss politics with people who also care about politics. Problem is, when you you discuss politics with a point of view that differs from popular opinion people tend to get rough. They are accustomed to be led by popularity trends, thats why the attention span is less than 30 minutes in our society, people don't think, they just follow. Thats why I post documentaries, and articles and stuff that contradicts popular beliefs and portrays our shitty reality, I mean why hide the facts? Thats what a conformist would do, not me sorry for not entertaining you enough.

K thank you.

PS: Deluded paranoid is a person who fears imaginary stuff, as is, I discuss real stuff. Whether you find them to be the truth or not does not change the facts.

PSS: If you are aware of the rats and roaches, kill them, don't turn off the light and pretend they aren't there.

I wasn't really attacking [well maybe it was a jab], but that was the title of your thread.

That was the first impression. Your thoughts, directed at no one in particular, claim to know more than the anonymous reader. You really aren't discussing facts, just documentaries and articles of opinions you trust. My peer-reviewed, actual scientifically accredited article negated your Vid of one' man's speculation a month ago.

Perhaps if you want people to take you seriously, you should adjust how you approach topics.

PS. Actions speak louder than words. Seems like you want other people to do the change for you while you sit back and complain about how right you were.

Apparently not as much as you.

PS. You initially assumed no one remembers the disaster.

Actually I assumed no one still cared, but everyone remembers, I mean come on...

by the way i didn't say this was real, I said check this out, as in check out this guy's theory. And though I fail to see how your actual scientifically accredited article negates this, thats what you were supposed to do, confront it with something that contradicts it so we can debate. Now next time just try to analyze it critically instead of just slapping a "peer-reviewed actual scientifically accredited article" and claiming victory. you win by default? wtf.
