Senior Scientist: Fukushima Problem Getting Worse, Leaks From Plant Becoming Stronger (Audio)
Third Eye Weekly on BreakThru Radio, Sept. 17, 2013 – Ken Buesseler, Senior Scientist at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute (At 38:00 in): What’s been happening at some level like a month ago there was less concern […] You measure the isotopes, we can say that they’re coming from that reactor, and had it been completely zero, we couldn’t have seen them anymore. So we’ve known about the leaks, they seem to be getting stronger.
Worldview on WBEZ 91.5 Chicago, August 26, 2013 – Ken Buesseler, Senior Scientist at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute (At 14:30 in): We’re kind of back in a situation where we just can’t predict how long and how much is coming out of there. We thought by now this would have really ramped down, and it’s just become this persistent problem that seems to be getting worse.
Everything is pointing to this one event, the super careful removal of the spent fuel rods at pool 4. If they are not moved by the time another natural disaster hits and collapse or the operation to remove them ends in a catastrophic failre, we are doomed!. In what way im not exactly sure, im not sure others quite know either as this is a first but the effect would last for 1,000s of years. -Mort
