And who for a moment believes that radioactive isotopes haven't been flowing into the ocean from the 3 Level 7 catastrophes anyway? Of course the contamination of the marine environment has been ongoing. As for the lie that the structure withstood the earthquake, that it was the tsunami that truly exposed man's folly... how is it 400 tons of ground water gets into the structures every day. Permeation? What a shower of lies, cover-up, deception and insanity.

Of course you need to learn and understand the language of the culture you are in, otherwise you miss so much, the humor, the stories, the added weave to the human experience of the tapestry around you. If you're here, learn, embrace and enjoy.

The real crux of the matter is we --mature, intelligent adults- do NOT expect a 14-year-old girl to have the judgement and decision-making skills that an adult should have. The message that some on this board believe in / follow, that it’s okay to have sexual relations with a child as long as he or she is compliant — is absolutely wrong.

He took advantage of a child. He sexually exploited her. May all the apologists on here be from countries where any such act against children is also punishable in their own country. She IS a victim. He was 39 years old. When underage girls become sexually involved with adult men they are exposed to a devastating array of physical and emotional injuries. These illicit relationships set them up to be life-long victims who tend to view their self-worth solely in terms of sex. If you see a child a s a perp, then you are immature and most like rationalizing acts or thoughts of your own that society deems illegal. Children are children and leave them be as such.

The link proposes a theory.
Unit 3 could have experienced prompt criticality. A possibility.
That would be a very large oxygen tank. Why was steam still coming out? Because tonnes of water was being pumped in.
I take you back to the original report:
The cause of the explosion in the No. 3 reactor building has yet to be determined.

Zichi, I was commending your support of those in Tohoku and Kanto, which I still do, this denial of what No3 was though, it wasn't a hydrogen / steam explosion with some oxygen bottles... read the transcript of TEPCO again. No conspiracy theory here and you know it, at no point have said it was nuclear, neither am I saying it wasn't, but that was a thermal explosion.

@ Zichi after two years of being lied to, you still eat their 'truth'? Wow. You of all people surprise, no, disappoint, me.
Remember this:
Two days before, on March 12, a hydrogen explosion had occurred in the plant’s No. 1 reactor building.
“In short, the only change we have made was replacing ‘No. 1 reactor’ with the ‘No. 3 reactor’?” Takahashi said in the footage. “We do not know whether it was a hydrogen explosion, but since the government--the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency--is saying it is a hydrogen explosion, we can just say so--a hydrogen explosion, can’t we?”
Takahashi urged that TEPCO parrot the government announcement, without trying to confirm the cause.
“On television a short while ago, NISA was saying it was a hydrogen explosion," he said. "I guess we’d better keep pace.”
The footage also showed someone saying, “the prime minister’s office has also been using the term hydrogen explosion. Perhaps we should do the same,” but the person was not identifiable.
Shimizu approved Takahashi’s recommendation, saying, “All right. I agree. This is fine.”
Then followed two seconds of bleeped-out footage. Shimizu then said, “Speediness is the key.”
At a later news conference, a public relations official of the utility announced, “It was a hydrogen explosion.”
The cause of the explosion in the No. 3 reactor building has yet to be determined.

@Zichi. Come on. No3 was not just a hydrogen explosion. There was a thermal explosion of some kind, the red / orange flash proves it. Much more force upwards, much darker, thicker smoke.

Jesuz, not Rolf. Come on. Surely he only tied his kangaroo down and didn't abuse children. I am not surprised by Saville, or Eddie Starr et al, but Rolf Harris? As Thunderbird wrote, that's awful to imagine. Hoping it isn't true.
