what a clusterfuck.Water cannons began spraying jets of water into the Unit 3 reactor after initially being forced back by high radiation levels.
A spokesman for the Tokyo Electric Power Company told Japan news agency NHK that "it appears the mission was successful," while a spokesman for the Nuclear And Industrial Safety Agency says the water cannons failed in their attempt to cool the unit when the water failed to reach its target from safe distances.
The choppers dumped at least four loads on the reactor in just the first 10 minutes, though television footage showed much of it appearing to disperse in the wind.

A lot of pharmacies have run out of iodide here.
Yes you only take them if you NEED to.-Sh1fty- wrote:
I'm sure they're not all chemists. If I heard there was a radiation leak and somebody told me I could take these pills to be alright I would probably take them. However, the fact that whatever European country was doing that was retarded, they're how many thousand miles away?
Yeah I think the problem here is tards from the internet just taking them 'cus they've played Stalker and shit and it will protect them from the impending post apocalyptic zone. The people who need them will be the only ones who are actually "issued" with them.-Sh1fty- wrote:
Exactly, but if you don't know you don't need to, because you're not very well educated on radiation and stuff, and people start handing pills out saying you need them for your protection, you would think quite a few people would buy the idea.

thank the media for not explaining the situation or radiation at allSpark wrote:
That's true, but geez it's daft. They're putting themselves at huge risk of thyroid problems which has all kinds of nasty consequences.
Ironically one of the main treatments of the kinds of thyroid diseases they're at risk of is also iodine... 131.

3 days ago I said that the borium injection must have failedKmar wrote:
The government of Japan has asked Seoul for 52.6 tons of boric acid to try and keep the damaged reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station cool. Boric acid lowers the temperatures of the reactors by preventing nuclear fission. Korean Minister of Knowledge Economy Choi Joong-kyung said "We'll send it as quickly as possible once we've checked that our stockpile is suitable for the Japanese nuclear plant."

Well the media wants the situation to be as bad as it can be, so it will always hype up the worst case scenario. Bad news is good news.Shocking wrote:
