Check out informative site about Fukishima 'no exaggeration fate of world depends on No. 4 reactor’ [View all]

Japanese Ambassador Murata is joining in the growing chorus which include US Senators who are warning the he problem at Fukushima nuclear reactor 4 is the single greatest short-term threat to humanity and has the potential to destroy our world and civilization as we know it.

The Ambassador puts it very bluntly saying the warnings about reactor 4′s threat to end human civilization are no exaggeration.

He is joining forces with human rights groups from around the globe in calling for the UN to step in and end the crisis in Fukushima that TEPCO is planning on taking decades to resolve after repeated warnings that even a minor earthquake could cause the spend fuel pool to collapse which would result in a radiation release so massive it could end life on earth.

As I previously reported.

TEPCO: Not Enough Money To Handle Fukushima Nuclear Reactor 4 Problems


Besides Gundersen’s assertion that TEPCO doesn’t have enough money to deal with the problem, there have also been reports in the Japanese media that TEPCO isn’t dealing with the situation as they should because the cost would hurt their stock price.

People need to start contacting their Senators and start demanding answers as to what is happening in Japan. One doesn't need to be a rocket scientist to know tons of spent fuels rods sitting 100 ft up in the air in a destroyed building in an earthquake zone isn't good news.
