3/10/11 Hawaii Tsunami Warning

[JERRY2KONE]

Yea thats what concerns me. Usually in matters this big there are hourly reports to share how the recovery is going and what the next step is going to be, so as not to panic anyone. This one is so utterly quiet that you have to wonder just how bad are things, and how much worse are they going to get. I try to keep up with the latest progress reports, but there is hardly anything out there to watch or read. I mean this really has the potential to become a world wide disaster that can devestate the entire planet and no one is talking about it. I would think that the world leaders of today should be shadowing this every second of the way and preparing for worst case scenarios. Where the hell are our leaders, and what are they doing to help in this situation? That is what I would be writing about if I were a journalist. This is the biggest story of the human race to date. The recovery efforts at this Nuclear plant should have become a world wide effort to get things under control, not just a Japan problem. Surely the Nuclear experts have weighed in enough with information to let our world leaders know that this needs a huge effort on everyones part. Japan is quickly losing control and then these four reactors will become one very big problem that will harm us all.

Here is the latest news update that I just pulled off of the internet just a few minutes ago.

TOKYO – Workers discovered new pools of radioactive water leaking from Japan's crippled nuclear complex, officials said Monday, as emergency crews struggled to pump out hundreds of tons of contaminated water and bring the plant back under control.

Officials believe the contaminated water has sent radioactivity levels soaring at the coastal complex and caused more radiation to seep into soil and seawater. Crews also found traces of plutonium in the soil outside of the complex on Monday, but officials insisted there was no threat to public health.

Plutonium — a key ingredient in nuclear weapons — is present in the fuel at the complex, which has been leaking radiation for over two weeks, so experts had expected some to be found once crews began searching for evidence of it this week.

Tokyo Electric Power Co. official Jun Tsuruoka said only two of the plutonium samples taken Monday were from the leaking reactors. The other three were from earlier nuclear tests. Years of weapons testing in the atmosphere left trace amounts of plutonium in many places around the world.
