In reply to the discussion: Fuel rod removal: Fukushima’s most dangerous operation yields first successes [View all]FBaggins
(28,706 posts)67. You shoud just stick with that "I don't get it"
Tepco is planning, or were planning, an ice wall to keep ground water from the buildings. Fact.
And now you're trying to tell us that this is because they're worried that the water is damaging the buildings and not that it's adding to the volume of water they have to treat?
Have you ever seen what water has done to mountains? Ever see where the Colorado river has cut the Grand Canyon?
You one of those creationists that think it did it in a few thousand years?
Now when we add in the radiation, and the nuclear heat
Your imagination is making you look foolish again.

well, for one thing, if they have never been critical, they are only alpha emitters.
