I previously taught English at Hitachi. I had one student who was an environmental scientist whose job was to sell the containers for the radioactive water. The containers are suppose to take out the bad elements. Obviously that isn't happening. But it was great business for Hitachi. My student realizing the futility of the situation and quit the company.

The problems that created the disasters at Fukushima and Chernobyl are different and the same at the same time. They have different technical aspects and common humanitarian ones. I like this topic and I have been to the Chernobyl exclusion zone hundreds of times. I'm not against of discussing the topic with those, who are interesting in it.
@@matsv201 hmm. The similarities I can think of was that people in charge. TEPCO in Japan and those who were higher up ignored the fact that safety measures were out of date and both were predicted years before the nuclear disasters of their shortcomings. Both had significant impacts on the environment and people living near the areas and the fact it will take YEARS to recover. Of course these are just some of the similarities I can think of.
@@moonwalkerangel7008 With chernobyl it wasn't that safety measures were outdated, it was that the entire plant was outdated. And despite the fact that they were using a very bad and quite unsafe soviet core, it was still all human error inside of the operating room.
The mortality rate of the elderly surrounding fukushima was due to the evacuation process, not radiation fallout...pause the video at 3:31 and read the conclusion of the research paper sourced. As other commentshave stated, this video does not provide accurate information. Came here for science, got an opinion piece instead
Nothing have changed? Reactor 1, 2 and 4 is defueld, and reactor 3 is 2/3 defueld, will be finished next year. Then they can empty out the water and clean it up.
You are correct! The radiation levels are still deadly on site, there is no sarcophagus on any of the reactors, and the ice wall to stop water from entering the reactors and flowing out to sea has never worked! As to the clowns who believe that the reactors are " defueled", they defueled themselves! Reactor 3 and 4 defueled themselves! The explosion at reactor 3 blasted the fuel pools from the top of the buildings! The entire reactor core of unit 3 was ejected into the environment as it melted down and blew up thousands of feet into the air! The Japanese are burning the contaminated forests in incinerators and re- releasing the radioactive isotopes into the low atmosphere! There is no water in the tanks, the radiation levels on site would be astronomical, they tried putting the water in the tanks and the x-rays were killing folks in the nearby towns! See bremstralung ( german for 'braking radiation'). Better yet, see DANA DURNFORD! HE WILL TELL THE REAL STORY OF WHY THE FISH ARE DYING!

@@matsv201 Don't believe everything you hear. How many times has Tepco lied to us . Take a look at what's happening to the Pacific. It's a horror show.
Who's the genius that decided to put emergency generators below sea level in a tsunami zone? Those should've been elevated and safe. Your welcome Captain Hindsight
To say "damaged reactors" is misleading. It would be better to say "ruined reactors", "destroyed reactors". The reactors can never be repaired to make them function again. They are a wreckage. The contaminated water to be dumped in the Pacific Ocean is not merely Tritium contaminated, but also contaminated with other radioactive isotopes because the ALPs filtering system at Fukushima Dai'ichi have been a disaster and has not worked properly, just like the ice wall has also been a technical disaster. The Fukushima Dai'ichi reactors were crappy US design from Westinghouse; on close analysis, the technical design was appallingly bad and inadequate. Japan was sold a dud from Westinghouse.
you said it. no engineering experience... a tsunami of that power had never been registered. you can only built based on what you can consider. and then add the time, cost, and local facilities to built with what you have... engineering is allways a compromise, never a perfect job. look at tesla cars and the huge environmental impact of their batteries
@@anuardelcastillo2627 Dude, Japan has a long history of earthquakes. It has the biggest trench in the world off its coast. This should not have happened this way. You sound like a corporate engineer I don't want designing any fail safes.
Reminder, the fuel could have penetrated to underground water 10 years ago. In that sense all what they have doing in last 10 years was just cooling down the leftover of the nuclear fuel.
To this day I never understood why, backup power generators were positioned so close to the coastline. I get the whole cooling factor being able to use seawater to cool them, but why not have the generators, a little higher level, not in a concrete holding pond. Okay you need pumps to transport that water up a grade, and those too could be compromised... But, it still just sucks the backup was the first thing to go, what with being inundated with water right at the start of the surge!
Please don't put that in our oceans. We also got to worry about the dome on marshal Islands leaking one of these days. So combined could have devastating consequences.

Question. What's worse for the oceans, the underwater nuclear bomb test the US did in the 40s and 50s, or dumping the Fukushima water into the ocean? Both are horrible, but Im curious if the study from the nuclear bomb test could reveal what happens to underwater sea life, and if the Fukushima water would have similar results.
Hmm, that's interesting got me thinking as well. Gonna look it up. Not just US bomb tests, the other major players were also doing open tests into the 60's and 70's if I recall correctly. Really wonder if there's a comparative study of impact with fukushima. Reactors cause way more damage than bomb tests or bomb drops in the long run though. Hiroshima and Nagazaki vs Chernobyl are proof of that.
If everyone agrees that 'diluted and drained the sea' is the solution to pollution/garbage, then Pandora's box has been opened! What else can't be discharged into the sea?
All nuclear power plants have always released this tritiated water into their respective waterways, nature does too, in much greater quantity than man does.
I have questions, Why were so many nuclear reactors allowed to use only one cooling pond? This resulted in faulted cooling pipelines that broke for the 3 failed reactors simultaneously. (My guess budget-saving efforts.) It created three nuclear disasters at once for a very limited staff. Another question is why such a major complex was created near a high-risk fault line? My guess was calculated risk determined the odds that a core breach wouldn't happen in a hundred years. What was the half-life of the contaminated region of the island these days? The contaminated water is not completely contained. I thought of buying a Geiger counter for my canned tuna. Chernobyl blew up because an idiot was put in charge that "tested the dynamics of the air-cooled reactor." It resulted in the neutron rods failing to drop for an emergency shutdown on this air-cooled reactor. These were reactors considered higher risk than the high-pressure heavy water, cooled reactors. I have a brief history of running a maintenance crew on coal-fired power plants and have read up on the nuclear variations to power generation. When it was announced that seawater was being introduced to emergency cool the smitten Fukushima plants, I gave them 3 hours to explode. They lasted a bit longer. Compare these two disasters to 3 Mile Island which had President Jimmy Carter, stand within the facility to show the nation it is safe. I can't recall any other presidents doing so. The 3 Mile Island containment vessel, though it cracked a bit, held when some of the radioactive gases were vented. It remains safe today. To me, it was the safest design of high-pressure reactors available. I also read that when they vented the radioactive gases, all of the flies in the surrounding areas disappeared. Another factor I believe led to these disasters was the decision to create high-pressure reactors in the first place. President Nixon chose high-pressure reactors for weapons production. They were chosen over much safer, LFTR (Thorium reactor designs) that were available, can be buried in the ground, self-regulate when the temperature rises, and cool in a very fail-safe design. In other words, thorium is abundant, doesn't explode, can be used to re-use its waste product to rid it of waste disposal to a much larger degree, would last for thousands of years as an energy supply that would cost next to nothing. I like that concept over high-pressure breeder reactors making depleted uranium weapons. Why aren't we choosing safer reactors today? ruclips.net/video/0BybPPIMuQQ/видео.html
Most nuclear actors do not have cooling ponds they are connected directly to the ocean directly to a river. Fukushima reactors each had their own pipe to the ocean that was tore ripped apart by the tsunami. The GE mark what reactor had a billion watts output. How many watts do you need to boil water to spin turbines the high 20% efficiency. 5 billion watts of heat. It's the same with all of them. . Jerry electric spent billions of dollars developing the Mark 1 for submarines the Navy decide they didn't want. How do you convince the world to buy nuclear submarine reactor repurposed for use on land. If you can convince the Japanese to use them anybody will use them because they'll never use them but they are. Arnie Gunderson talks a lot about it nuclear and all. Google him that a lot of your questions will be answered.
@@zAlaska I was under the impression that Fukushima's cooling pond was for distilled heavy water. Each reactor had a heat exchanger for filtered seawater onsite but all of the reactors shared a heavy water pond. (Maybe not) "Heavy water is used in certain types of nuclear reactors, where it acts as a neutron moderator to slow down neutrons so that they are more likely to react with the fissile uranium-235 than with uranium-238, which captures neutrons without fissioning. The CANDU reactor uses this design."
I ran a coal-fired power plant for a time so I cannot say I am an expert in nuclear power applications. The seawater is a secondary coolant to a high-pressure side of the reactor cooling system. When seawater was introduced as a last resort directly, failure was imminent. It produced hydrogen gas from the water which ultimately blew the tops off the buildings.
@@Laviolette101 BWR sites and CANDU sites have their similarities however they also have their differences, I'll ignore the original comment here just for a quick explanation of how they work using the simplest terms I can in case you are not familiar with the operating principles along with a quick list of information. - BWR reactors operate using light fresh water with the capability to feed from external sources. - BWR reactors like those used in Fukushima 1 and 2 use both an AC and DC backup power supply designed to last upwards of 24 hours, in the ranges of 48 hours without excessive overuse. The reactors typically operate at around 250/300 Celsius (approx. 550 {I think} Fahrenheit, pardon the possible poor calculation), they are typically cooled by recirculation pumps, these pumps feed cold water in from a heat exchanged which is itself cooled by screened seawater fed from behind the internal seawall seen directly Infront of units 1 through 4, for units 5 and 6 it comes from a separate screened point contained in the outer seawall, after exchange the hot water on the salt water side is pumped outside of the seawall while the now cool recirculated water returns to the reactor, passing firefighting bypass valves along with valves for either the Isolation Condenser (IC) in the case of Unit 1 or the Reactor Core Isolation Cooling System (RCIC) for units 2 and 3, unit 4 also features the RCIC system however due to a lack of core loading it was not used during the accident, instead unit 4's operators' cooling priority was the Spent Fuel Pools used to store spent nuclear fuel before dry cask storage and transport to the Rokkasho Reprocessing Site for reprocessing and storage of High Level Long Duration waste. In the event of an emergency such as a fault or seismic activity exceeding safe operating parameters the reactor automatically "Trips", meaning the activation of control rods and the closure of the Main Steam Isolation Valve (MSIV), transitioning the reactor into a bypass mode wherein steam is sent either to the IC where it is condensed by a self-contained large water storage tank (Referenced as 'Item A' from this point of easy reference) or the RCIC for units 2, 3 and 4, also fed by an 'Item A', each of these tanks should in theory contain enough water to maintain a good flow of water into the reactor for several hours, if not days and are all able to be resupplied via the use of manual valves routing water from the Fire Protection System (FPS) into the tanks or if required the direct routing of water via the operation of another set of manual valves to feed water directly into the feed lines of the reactors High Pressure Coolant Injection System (HPCI), the HPCI is a pump set designed to start on receipt of "very low water level" (Low-2 Level) or "high drywell pressure" signal, the system can also be manually started by operators. The reactors are further fitted with a Low-Pressure Coolant Injection System (LPCI) designed to mitigate excessive overcooling from the HPCI which is extremely damaging to the reactors and one of the primary factors causing its use to be terminated during the disaster. Further research can be conducted in full from the International Atomic Energy Association (IAEA), United Kingdom Office of Nuclear Regulation (ONR) or Japan Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) reports into the accident along with disclosures from the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO). Now in regards to the initial comment, it should be noted that in no way shape or form is the Chernobyl nuclear power plant air cooled, in fact at its operating temperature the graphite used in the reactors would have oxidised and been rendered useless, as far as I am aware the RBMK 1000 series reactors are a split core, twin loop water cooled design featuring Fresh or Seawater intakes which operate a condenser system to cool the primary feed loop once it passes the turbines and to cool the auxiliary feed from associated equipment and water separated at steam dryers prior to the turbines, the accident was caused by an intentional violation of safety protocol and an intentional lack of training on the failures and faults associated with the reactor "Trip" system, A3-5 or AZ-5 as it is referred to by media and most reports, under strict conditions it is possible that the A3-5 "Trip Switch" has the capability to cause a massive excursion of power within the reactor and increase temperature and pressure to such an extent that containment is damaged or breached, subsequently releasing large quantities of Ionizing radiation. You also mentioned how high-pressure reactors were chosen to make nuclear material for weapons, with the exception of Soviet designed power reactors and very specifically designed purpose built sites, there are no "high pressure" reactors that are able to manufacture weapons grade material (WGM), low pressure reactors however tend to be quite capable of WGM production, as an example the British MAGNOX reactors were capable of producing WGM, the first plant, Calder Hall, was built on the Sellafield Nuclear Site specifically to facilitate the immediate workup to produce such material for used in WMDs. It is worth mentioning, for all intents and purposes the reactors used in Fukushima 1 and 2 were not "high pressure", especially compared to Pressurised Water Reactors (PWRs), typically found in the United States as an example. The majority of these reactors do not possess correct pressure or neutron throughput to enrich material to weapons grade, to emphasise the point further, Pressurised Water Reactors typically operate at pressures of 2300 PSI or more, Boiling Water Reactors operate at pressures of around 1000 PSI, RBMK 1000 reactors at around 1200 PSI and MAGNOX reactors (Gas cooled as opposed to water {Co2}) sit around 200 PSI, they also operate at vastly different temperatures ranging from Hundreds of degrees to near thousands for lower pressure gas designs. The addition of salt water as mentioned just above could very well be a contributor to the production of hydrogen gas prior to the damage of secondary containment, the risk of discontinuing cooling and allowing a high pressure breach in containment was however outweighed by the risk of hydrogen build-up which can be negated by venting although this proved partially unsuccessful causing the now known venting to Secondary Containment and the subsequent destruction of the upper housing of the Reactor Buildings for units 1, 3 and 4.
@@APotatoWT Yes, all nuclear power plants on the planet release tritiated water, but nothing has been "dumped" from Fukushima yet, they have been storing theirs for ten years. The Japanese water release plan meets all international industry standards when they do start dumping theirs.
@Jeroen That "toxic shit" as you call it is tritium. You know, that stuff produced in nature via the atmosphere and has been in every waterway on the planet since the beginning of time. Duh.

Shall we learn from this also. Is nuclear power a priority resource for human kind to exist on Earth or is it a priority unnecessary way that common sense is calling us to Rebuke such demand on Earth for it's gainful understanding hypocritical valuable lesson, with a elimination of total irreversible regret as the better outcome instead of this. To produce or create something that magnifies a human life source, it must be something that we can be able to return and leave a human life sustaining way the way it was, without a extra life harming element that was not there before a inability to eliminate the fatal element that comes from nuclear power. This like Chernobyl is a human catastrophe, but worse it shall be if we ignore this warning and continue to make the same mistake. We don't need nuclear power plants, .
They need to put in a deep well in the subduction side of the Japan Rift Zone - perform heavy fracking and pump that water down into the plate. Eventually it'll get burned up by the mantle.
The reactors used MOX (a deadly Plutonium and Uranium mix) FUEL and when the cooling system stopped, three operating Reactors, each 100 times more powerful than Chernobyl, went CRITICAL and not only escaped containment, they escaped their normal area with moderators and became uncontrolled and uncontrollable. In addition at least one of the reactors which had about 30 years of highly radioactive old nuclear cores stored at the top of the reactor building were launched up to three miles up into the air and the fragments of those highly radioactive cores were showered all over the surrounding countryside and into the adjacent Pacific Ocean. This NUCLEAR DISASTER makes Chernobyl look like a firecracker as compared to the Hiroshima Little Boy Nuclear Bomb ......
Well, nuclear power seemed like a nice idea... until a whoopsie happened with catastrophic results that last for decades. Fossil fuels aren't any better, it just takes longer to notice their environmental impact.
Thankfully, modern reactor designs fail into a safe shut down rather than a meltdown like this. Reading the wikipedia pages for Generation 3 & 4 nuclear plants is a fun rabbit hole to go down if you're interested.
@@MrOriginalFlavour I might actually follow up on that because I really find these fascinating. One thing I learned is that nothing is 100% bulletproof, there's always a loophole somewhere, and usually that's what causes all the trouble. Take the reactors at Fukushima, they had a lot of redundancy built into the design and it still failed. I'm convinced that newer generations of reactors have been greatly improved but take that with a grain of salt. Leaving aside the potential design hazards, what happens to all the nuclear waste? They usually bury those in specialized containers but what if those containers fail and contaminate the groundwater? It will definitely ruin your day... I remember seeing a video about a warehouse that stored spent nuclear fuel and it was in very poor shape due to buget cuts. Maintaining this infrastructure falls into the hands of the government and the competency (and corruption) varies from country to country. One recent example of this was the massive explosion in Beirut (Lebanon) where unstable materials were improperly stored. There are a lot of "what ifs" in what I said but it's not unlikely for something even more serious to happen, no matter how safe they appear to be on paper 🤷♂️
@@KyivandChornobyl No they can't....if that were true then your hands would be duct taped to the steering wheel because we don't have a choice about nuclear because we inherited it then a 5 point harness because as soon as you turn the key you are off at mach 30 and your exhaust is leaking tritium and other water soluble radionuclides as you pass the farmers fields of vegetables you will get in a few months all the while trying to keep it between the white lines trying not to kill anyone. Your car is also 102 years old and far past its designed limits and when you're done with it, it just can't go to the regular scrap yard, no no, this needs buried now because it would contaminate all the other metal it came into contact with. You see you can't compare apples to a shirt or a motorcycle. Its literally pointless because the deaths per killowatt/terrawatt hour calculations are null and void without the very deaths added to the total ie Cancer, Heart disease, autoimmune diseases and respiratory diseases....these are all also caused by lower than accute dose long term internal exposure to ionizing radiation.
Stop referring to it as an "accident" . It's negligence, the result of human stupidity. Plenty of other ways to generate electricity. Put forth some effort into wind and solar and you don't risk catastrophe.
Japan seems to have learned very little from Fukushima Dai'ichi. Japan should not restart any of its nuclear fission reactors because the country is too seismically active to make nuclear fission power safe to use. The nuclear reactors in Japan were provided from the USA and are sub-standard (AP1000 pre-cursors, i.e. old flawed design) to cope with the types of seismic events encountered in Japan. In the short term, the international community should help Japan transition to renewable energy technologies as soon as possible. Eventually, when compact fusion apparatus is available from the United Kingdom, Japan should progress to fusion power. ITER in France is a disaster and a waste of money as a research tool; there are compact fusion reactor designs coming from the UK very soon that will render ITER a hopeless white elephant.
My impression as well, namely extinction level event. 200 kg of Plutonium thinly spread in World biosphere would destroy the biosphere. Much more than that was ejected in the reactor 3 explosion at Fukushima Dai'ichi in year 2011. Fukushima Dai'ichi cleanup is impossible to do properly. The idiot Japanese government has now allowed some nuclear reactors to be restarted; the Japanese government is insane, since other reactors are of relatively similar design to the AP-1000 precusor reactors at Fukushima Dai'ichi. Japan should go majorly for renewables now - wind & solar - with energy storage.
Maybe the engineers in charge know more than you do... did you think about that? "Fission reactors because the country is too seismically active to make nuclear fission power safe to use." Seismic activity was never a problem. "The nuclear reactors in Japan were provided from the USA and are sub-standard (AP1000 pre-cursors, i.e. old flawed design)" Eeeh.. no. They are not. Most of the japanese reactors are BWR, AP is a PWR. Its not even the same type. You are confusing Japan with Korea and there APR1400 that is a relative to the System 80 where the AP1000 spawns from. Also, there is no problem with AP1000, that is fud spread by the oil industry. There die more people in reveweable accirent every year than have been killed due to compersial reactor meltdowns during the totality of human history.
All these fucking things need to be dismantled before climate change does it for us, anything that can become unsafe without infrastructure needs to go. I can't believe these fucking idiots thought any of this was a good idea and without the approval of the rest of the world, made these abominations and put us all at risk.

But I have yet to see a full profile of all elements found in the water to be released, along with a full analysis of all the alternatives and explanations for why dumping the water in the ocean is the method of their choice (lemme guess, 💰?). Plus, rather than seeking understanding and consent from its neighboring countries, Japan is forcing its way through, citing the endorsement of a country that’s on the other side of the globe. Lol. Of course, why would Japan care about what its neighboring countries think when they have their master state’s backing? The whole thing is too transactional to treat as a pure scientific and engineering problem, let alone Japan didn’t even bother to present a full scientific analysis and rationale behind their choice. In case I’m under-informed on this, please direct me to any source you know. I won’t ask for such silly things as having the Japanese politicians drink the treated water, but at the very least, along with a full analysis of the rationale, Japan should provide an insurance policy for what to do when it goes wrong, including how to monitor and detect any negative consequences, how to compensate and remedy the damages when they occur, what the recourse measures are when they start the process and find it can’t continue for whatever reasons, etc.etc. If Japan is confident in their choice of the method, then there should be no problem for them to set up such an insurance policy with all affected countries. All in all, on one hand, Japan is imposing its own responsibility on all its neighboring countries and the whole world, without even proper consulting and negotiation. On the other hand, it was partly-by a very small fraction-the result of a natural disaster. So we as fellow human beings of this planet all bear some morale obligations-how ever little compare to Japan’s own-to assist Japan in solving the problem together. But how Japan has been handling the problem has made sure that the neighboring countries have almost no amicable feelings left towards Japan on this matter.

"If Japan is confident in their choice of the method, then there should be no problem for them to set up such an insurance policy with all affected countries." So everyone that pours out water should have insurance? "has made sure that the neighboring countries have almost no amicable feelings left towards Japan on this matter." eeh,, no, that is not true.

You aren't very smart are you? The effect on the water is very minimal, and only really effects japans coast near fukushima. And who is getting hurt here besides japan? Because the US, the ones who would be the target of revenge, has some pretty nice tap water haha.
Some thing i cant understand. Japan is well known for earthquakes and tsunami's. So where do they build a nuclear power plant? Right on the damn sea shore. I'm no genius but im gonna guess that's probably not the best place to build a plant.
“This island isn’t good for building anything due to earthquakes” mindset is the reason why Imperial Japan invaded other countries in WW2 though. So yeah if they are not allowed to expand territories the only option they can do is to improve their technology and make their power plants being earthquake proof.

A 16 foot wall?? This tsunami was over 30 meters high in some places. Even if the tsunami wasn't 16 m high at Fukushima that wave just keeps coming and consequently can push over higher walls.
I've already told them and now it is known to all major countries concerned and not concerned that TEPCO can recycle the waste water, which would immediately allow the company to stop accumulating more waste water. Then, it is possible over the next few decades, some estimate it may take up to 40 years to decommission all the reactors.... During that time, they can slowly vaporize the waste water, and releasing pure, distilled water, that contains no more than a few tritium based heavy water molecules into the air, in the meantime, collect grains of the radioactive, or not, as wastes to be buried.

Literally just as safe as coal power, there is very minimal risk with proper isolation and maintenance. Almost every example of a nuclear disaster has been from human error, not the science itself being dangerous. As long as reactors are properly maintained and monitored they are less likely to fail than traditional power plants. They are vastly better for emissions, and nuclear waste could be repurposed rather than being disposed if the industry were allowed to grow. However, sadly due to fear-mongering and misinformation people think these safe power plants are nuclear bombs just waiting to pop. Very sad that the world views it this way and prevents further developments in the field.
Fukushima nuclear power plant is on side of sea. if I design a nuclear power plant, reactor buildings stand on concrete colons above water. If there is a disaster, concrete colons can be exploded thus whole reactor buildings sink into water however, water is separated than sea by enclosed area. thus there is no radioactive contamination and it can not spread under water.
What does everyone think will happen in a CME Level 5 event? Post Fukushima, they only checked U.S.A. reactors for floods and earthquakes preparation. Already at Fukushima offshore fish found with radiation levels 56 times maximum acceptable levels for human consumption.
This is false. I checked for you, there is no source that I can find that reports even close to that level of radiation. Most generous one that I found had placed it barely above 5x recommended levels, which still happens to be statistically insignificant amounts of radiation both for the fish and for those who would consume them.
@@WhatAreColors I see. So even with all the control rods put in, it still needs a hell of a lot of cooling, and that requires water, which requires working pumps.

@@matsv201 True. I'd say everything hs changed.
You are correct! The radiation levels are still deadly on site, there is no sarcophagus on any of the reactors, and the ice wall to stop water from entering the reactors and flowing out to sea has never worked! As to the clowns who believe that the reactors are " defueled", they defueled themselves! Reactor 3 and 4 defueled themselves! The explosion at reactor 3 blasted the fuel pools from the top of the buildings! The entire reactor core of unit 3 was ejected into the environment as it melted down and blew up thousands of feet into the air! The Japanese are burning the contaminated forests in incinerators and re- releasing the radioactive isotopes into the low atmosphere!
There is no water in the tanks, the radiation levels on site would be astronomical, they tried putting the water in the tanks and the x-rays were killing folks in the nearby towns!

☹hey， Japan is dumping nuclear wastewater now... each human being should watch. it is disgusting.
To say "damaged reactors" is misleading. It would be better to say "ruined reactors", "destroyed reactors". The reactors can never be repaired to make them function again. They are a wreckage. The contaminated water to be dumped in the Pacific Ocean is not merely Tritium contaminated, but also contaminated with other radioactive isotopes because the ALPs filtering system at Fukushima Dai'ichi have been a disaster and has not worked properly, just like the ice wall has also been a technical disaster. The Fukushima Dai'ichi reactors were crappy US design from Westinghouse; on close analysis, the technical design was appallingly bad and inadequate. Japan was sold a dud from Westinghouse.
Continued testing has shown that ALPS is effective, verified by seven countries.

What a joke, 10 years later and nothing has changed at all.
To this day I never understood why, backup power generators were positioned so close to the coastline. I get the whole cooling factor being able to use seawater to cool them, but why not have the generators, a little higher level, not in a concrete holding pond. Okay you need pumps to transport that water up a grade, and those too could be compromised...

Question. What's worse for the oceans, the underwater nuclear bomb test the US did in the 40s and 50s, or dumping the Fukushima water into the ocean? Both are horrible, but Im curious if the study from the nuclear bomb test could reveal what happens to underwater sea life, and if the Fukushima water would have similar results.
Hmm, that's interesting got me thinking as well. Gonna look it up. Not just US bomb tests, the other major players were also doing open tests into the 60's and 70's if I recall correctly. Really wonder if there's a comparative study of impact with fukushima. Reactors cause way more damage than bomb tests or bomb drops in the long run though. Hiroshima and Nagazaki vs Chernobyl are proof of that.

What else can't be discharged into the sea?
All nuclear power plants have always released this tritiated water into their respective waterways, nature does too, in much greater quantity than man does.
I have questions, Why were so many nuclear reactors allowed to use only one cooling pond? This resulted in faulted cooling pipelines that broke for the 3 failed reactors simultaneously. (My guess budget-saving efforts.) It created three nuclear disasters at once for a very limited staff. Another question is why such a major complex was created near a high-risk fault line? My guess was calculated risk determined the odds that a core breach wouldn't happen in a hundred years. What was the half-life of the contaminated region of the island these days? The contaminated water is not completely contained. I thought of buying a Geiger counter for my canned tuna.
Chernobyl blew up because an idiot was put in charge that "tested the dynamics of the air-cooled reactor." It resulted in the neutron rods failing to drop for an emergency shutdown on this air-cooled reactor. These were reactors considered higher risk than the high-pressure heavy water, cooled reactors. I have a brief history of running a maintenance crew on coal-fired power plants and have read up on the nuclear variations to power generation.
When it was announced that seawater was being introduced to emergency cool the smitten Fukushima plants, I gave them 3 hours to explode. They lasted a bit longer.
Compare these two disasters to 3 Mile Island which had President Jimmy Carter, stand within the facility to show the nation it is safe. I can't recall any other presidents doing so. The 3 Mile Island containment vessel, though it cracked a bit, held when some of the radioactive gases were vented. It remains safe today. To me, it was the safest design of high-pressure reactors available. I also read that when they vented the radioactive gases, all of the flies in the surrounding areas disappeared.
Another factor I believe led to these disasters was the decision to create high-pressure reactors in the first place. President Nixon chose high-pressure reactors for weapons production. They were chosen over much safer, LFTR (Thorium reactor designs) that were available, can be buried in the ground, self-regulate when the temperature rises, and cool in a very fail-safe design. In other words, thorium is abundant, doesn't explode, can be used to re-use its waste product to rid it of waste disposal to a much larger degree, would last for thousands of years as an energy supply that would cost next to nothing. I like that concept over high-pressure breeder reactors making depleted uranium weapons. Why aren't we choosing safer reactors today?

Most nuclear actors do not have cooling ponds they are connected directly to the ocean directly to a river. Fukushima reactors each had their own pipe to the ocean that was tore ripped apart by the tsunami. The GE mark what reactor had a billion watts output. How many watts do you need to boil water to spin turbines the high 20% efficiency. 5 billion watts of heat. It's the same with all of them. . Jerry electric spent billions of dollars developing the Mark 1 for submarines the Navy decide they didn't want. How do you convince the world to buy nuclear submarine reactor repurposed for use on land. If you can convince the Japanese to use them anybody will use them because they'll never use them but they are. Arnie Gunderson talks a lot about it nuclear and all. Google him that a lot of your questions will be answered.
@@zAlaska I was under the impression that Fukushima's cooling pond was for distilled heavy water. Each reactor had a heat exchanger for filtered seawater onsite but all of the reactors shared a heavy water pond. (Maybe not)
"Heavy water is used in certain types of nuclear reactors, where it acts as a neutron moderator to slow down neutrons so that they are more likely to react with the fissile uranium-235 than with uranium-238, which captures neutrons without fissioning. The CANDU reactor uses this design."
I ran a coal-fired power plant for a time so I cannot say I am an expert in nuclear power applications. The seawater is a secondary coolant to a high-pressure side of the reactor cooling system. When seawater was introduced as a last resort directly, failure was imminent. It produced hydrogen gas from the water which ultimately blew the tops off the buildings.
@@Laviolette101 BWR sites and CANDU sites have their similarities however they also have their differences, I'll ignore the original comment here just for a quick explanation of how they work using the simplest terms I can in case you are not familiar with the operating principles along with a quick list of information.
- BWR reactors operate using light fresh water with the capability to feed from external sources.
- BWR reactors like those used in Fukushima 1 and 2 use both an AC and DC backup power supply designed to last upwards of 24 hours, in the ranges of 48 hours without excessive overuse.
The reactors typically operate at around 250/300 Celsius (approx. 550 {I think} Fahrenheit, pardon the possible poor calculation), they are typically cooled by recirculation pumps, these pumps feed cold water in from a heat exchanged which is itself cooled by screened seawater fed from behind the internal seawall seen directly Infront of units 1 through 4, for units 5 and 6 it comes from a separate screened point contained in the outer seawall, after exchange the hot water on the salt water side is pumped outside of the seawall while the now cool recirculated water returns to the reactor, passing firefighting bypass valves along with valves for either the Isolation Condenser (IC) in the case of Unit 1 or the Reactor Core Isolation Cooling System (RCIC) for units 2 and 3, unit 4 also features the RCIC system however due to a lack of core loading it was not used during the accident, instead unit 4's operators' cooling priority was the Spent Fuel Pools used to store spent nuclear fuel before dry cask storage and transport to the Rokkasho Reprocessing Site for reprocessing and storage of High Level Long Duration waste.
In the event of an emergency such as a fault or seismic activity exceeding safe operating parameters the reactor automatically "Trips", meaning the activation of control rods and the closure of the Main Steam Isolation Valve (MSIV), transitioning the reactor into a bypass mode wherein steam is sent either to the IC where it is condensed by a self-contained large water storage tank (Referenced as 'Item A' from this point of easy reference) or the RCIC for units 2, 3 and 4, also fed by an 'Item A', each of these tanks should in theory contain enough water to maintain a good flow of water into the reactor for several hours, if not days and are all able to be resupplied via the use of manual valves routing water from the Fire Protection System (FPS) into the tanks or if required the direct routing of water via the operation of another set of manual valves to feed water directly into the feed lines of the reactors High Pressure Coolant Injection System (HPCI), the HPCI is a pump set designed to start on receipt of "very low water level" (Low-2 Level) or "high drywell pressure" signal, the system can also be manually started by operators. The reactors are further fitted with a Low-Pressure Coolant Injection System (LPCI) designed to mitigate excessive overcooling from the HPCI which is extremely damaging to the reactors and one of the primary factors causing its use to be terminated during the disaster.
Further research can be conducted in full from the International Atomic Energy Association (IAEA), United Kingdom Office of Nuclear Regulation (ONR) or Japan Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) reports into the accident along with disclosures from the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO).
Now in regards to the initial comment, it should be noted that in no way shape or form is the Chernobyl nuclear power plant air cooled, in fact at its operating temperature the graphite used in the reactors would have oxidised and been rendered useless, as far as I am aware the RBMK 1000 series reactors are a split core, twin loop water cooled design featuring Fresh or Seawater intakes which operate a condenser system to cool the primary feed loop once it passes the turbines and to cool the auxiliary feed from associated equipment and water separated at steam dryers prior to the turbines, the accident was caused by an intentional violation of safety protocol and an intentional lack of training on the failures and faults associated with the reactor "Trip" system, A3-5 or AZ-5 as it is referred to by media and most reports, under strict conditions it is possible that the A3-5 "Trip Switch" has the capability to cause a massive excursion of power within the reactor and increase temperature and pressure to such an extent that containment is damaged or breached, subsequently releasing large quantities of Ionizing radiation.
You also mentioned how high-pressure reactors were chosen to make nuclear material for weapons, with the exception of Soviet designed power reactors and very specifically designed purpose built sites, there are no "high pressure" reactors that are able to manufacture weapons grade material (WGM), low pressure reactors however tend to be quite capable of WGM production, as an example the British MAGNOX reactors were capable of producing WGM, the first plant, Calder Hall, was built on the Sellafield Nuclear Site specifically to facilitate the immediate workup to produce such material for used in WMDs.
It is worth mentioning, for all intents and purposes the reactors used in Fukushima 1 and 2 were not "high pressure", especially compared to Pressurised Water Reactors (PWRs), typically found in the United States as an example. The majority of these reactors do not possess correct pressure or neutron throughput to enrich material to weapons grade, to emphasise the point further, Pressurised Water Reactors typically operate at pressures of 2300 PSI or more, Boiling Water Reactors operate at pressures of around 1000 PSI, RBMK 1000 reactors at around 1200 PSI and MAGNOX reactors (Gas cooled as opposed to water {Co2}) sit around 200 PSI, they also operate at vastly different temperatures ranging from Hundreds of degrees to near thousands for lower pressure gas designs.
The addition of salt water as mentioned just above could very well be a contributor to the production of hydrogen gas prior to the damage of secondary containment, the risk of discontinuing cooling and allowing a high pressure breach in containment was however outweighed by the risk of hydrogen build-up which can be negated by venting although this proved partially unsuccessful causing the now known venting to Secondary Containment and the subsequent destruction of the upper housing of the Reactor Buildings for units 1, 3 and 4.

The reactors used MOX (a deadly Plutonium and Uranium mix) FUEL and when the cooling system stopped, three operating Reactors, each 100 times more powerful than Chernobyl, went CRITICAL and not only escaped containment, they escaped their normal area with moderators and became uncontrolled and uncontrollable. In addition at least one of the reactors which had about 30 years of highly radioactive old nuclear cores stored at the top of the reactor building were launched up to three miles up into the air and the fragments of those highly radioactive cores were showered all over the surrounding countryside and into the adjacent Pacific Ocean.

@@MrOriginalFlavour I might actually follow up on that because I really find these fascinating. One thing I learned is that nothing is 100% bulletproof, there's always a loophole somewhere, and usually that's what causes all the trouble. Take the reactors at Fukushima, they had a lot of redundancy built into the design and it still failed. I'm convinced that newer generations of reactors have been greatly improved but take that with a grain of salt. Leaving aside the potential design hazards, what happens to all the nuclear waste? They usually bury those in specialized containers but what if those containers fail and contaminate the groundwater? It will definitely ruin your day... I remember seeing a video about a warehouse that stored spent nuclear fuel and it was in very poor shape due to buget cuts. Maintaining this infrastructure falls into the hands of the government and the competency (and corruption) varies from country to country. One recent example of this was the massive explosion in Beirut (Lebanon) where unstable materials were improperly stored. There are a lot of "what ifs" in what I said but it's not unlikely for something even more serious to happen, no matter how safe they appear to be on paper 🤷♂️

Stop referring to it as an "accident" . It's negligence, the result of human stupidity. Plenty of other ways to generate electricity. Put forth some effort into wind and solar and you don't risk catastrophe.
But wind and solar each kill more people than nuclear power does.
Japan seems to have learned very little from Fukushima Dai'ichi. Japan should not restart any of its nuclear fission reactors because the country is too seismically active to make nuclear fission power safe to use. The nuclear reactors in Japan were provided from the USA and are sub-standard (AP1000 pre-cursors, i.e. old flawed design) to cope with the types of seismic events encountered in Japan. In the short term, the international community should help Japan transition to renewable energy technologies as soon as possible. Eventually, when compact fusion apparatus is available from the United Kingdom, Japan should progress to fusion power. ITER in France is a disaster and a waste of money as a research tool; there are compact fusion reactor designs coming from the UK very soon that will render ITER a hopeless white elephant.
My impression as well, namely extinction level event. 200 kg of Plutonium thinly spread in World biosphere would destroy the biosphere. Much more than that was ejected in the reactor 3 explosion at Fukushima Dai'ichi in year 2011. Fukushima Dai'ichi cleanup is impossible to do properly. The idiot Japanese government has now allowed some nuclear reactors to be restarted; the Japanese government is insane, since other reactors are of relatively similar design to the AP-1000 precusor reactors at Fukushima Dai'ichi. Japan should go majorly for renewables now - wind & solar - with energy storage.
Maybe the engineers in charge know more than you do... did you think about that?
"Fission reactors because the country is too seismically active to make nuclear fission power safe to use."
Seismic activity was never a problem.
"The nuclear reactors in Japan were provided from the USA and are sub-standard (AP1000 pre-cursors, i.e. old flawed design)"
Eeeh.. no. They are not. Most of the japanese reactors are BWR, AP is a PWR. Its not even the same type. You are confusing Japan with Korea and there APR1400 that is a relative to the System 80 where the AP1000 spawns from.
Also, there is no problem with AP1000, that is fud spread by the oil industry.
There die more people in reveweable accirent every year than have been killed due to compersial reactor meltdowns during the totality of human history.
All these fucking things need to be dismantled before climate change does it for us, anything that can become unsafe without infrastructure needs to go. I can't believe these fucking idiots thought any of this was a good idea and without the approval of the rest of the world, made these abominations and put us all at risk.
@Tim Norris Spot ON ! More a question of WHEN they would fail , not IF !!!
Compact fusion reactors and any other fusion reactor will not be going commercial for some time yet. More like decades then years.
How about a few more words on the contaminated water to be released into the ocean?
Why? its not diffrent from the sea water.. well its less salt in it, but ignoring tha its not diffrance.
Sea also contain tritium.
@@matsv201 because it’s relevant and a large part of the audience in the surrounding countries are interested in learning more about it? A thorough run down of all elements would be a good start. It’s not that hard. Just lay out all the facts and let the fact speak for itself, instead of keeping repeating the conclusions that are supposed to be accepted.
@@GnirpsNaireip its tritium, that is it. Its alreddy common in the sea
@@matsv201 oh I know about tritium. But I have yet to see a full profile of all elements found in the water to be released, along with a full analysis of all the alternatives and explanations for why dumping the water in the ocean is the method of their choice (lemme guess, 💰?). Plus, rather than seeking understanding and consent from its neighboring countries, Japan is forcing its way through, citing the endorsement of a country that’s on the other side of the globe. Lol. Of course, why would Japan care about what its neighboring countries think when they have their master state’s backing? The whole thing is too transactional to treat as a pure scientific and engineering problem, let alone Japan didn’t even bother to present a full scientific analysis and rationale behind their choice. In case I’m under-informed on this, please direct me to any source you know.
I won’t ask for such silly things as having the Japanese politicians drink the treated water, but at the very least, along with a full analysis of the rationale, Japan should provide an insurance policy for what to do when it goes wrong, including how to monitor and detect any negative consequences, how to compensate and remedy the damages when they occur, what the recourse measures are when they start the process and find it can’t continue for whatever reasons, etc.etc. If Japan is confident in their choice of the method, then there should be no problem for them to set up such an insurance policy with all affected countries.
All in all, on one hand, Japan is imposing its own responsibility on all its neighboring countries and the whole world, without even proper consulting and negotiation. On the other hand, it was partly-by a very small fraction-the result of a natural disaster. So we as fellow human beings of this planet all bear some morale obligations-how ever little compare to Japan’s own-to assist Japan in solving the problem together. But how Japan has been handling the problem has made sure that the neighboring countries have almost no amicable feelings left towards Japan on this matter.
@@GnirpsNaireip
" But I have yet to see a full profile of all elements found in the water to be released, "
Yes its only tritium in it that is radioactive. There is really only 3 elements that can pass throw the filter, and only one of them, hydrogen, have a isotope that can be radioactive for a extended amount of time. Lithium 8 have a half time of 820ms and Oxygen 19 have a half-life of 26 seconds. They are not much of a problem.
" dumping the water in the ocean is the method of their choice "
You have any idea how dumb you sound? "dumping water in the ocean"
The ocean is LITERALLY water. So you complaining about that the water will be contaminated with water. Do you have the same standard for hydro-power plants, dumping water int he Ocean?
", why would Japan care about what its neighboring countries think when they have their master state’s backing?"
There is no neighboring countries complaining, its activist organization that are complaining. not Governments.
"I won’t ask for such silly things as having the Japanese politicians drink the treated water"
Well would you drink the sea water then?
"along with a full analysis of the rationale"
There already are, did you bother to go check it up? or did you just assume it didnt exist?
"Japan should provide an insurance policy for what to do when it goes wrong, including how to monitor and detect any negative consequences"
Should that imply for every one else having water poured into the ocean, if not, what is the diffrance?
"If Japan is confident in their choice of the method, then there should be no problem for them to set up such an insurance policy with all affected countries."
So everyone that pours out water should have insurance?
"has made sure that the neighboring countries have almost no amicable feelings left towards Japan on this matter."
eeh,, no, that is not true.
You really believe what the Japan Government said? if that "TREATED WATER" is so safe then it is not necessary to dump to the ocean? why not just save it to use for farming or anything else. we are so dump to believe this big lie.
Then you should do the same for the tritiated water your country releases. All nuclear power plants have always released such tritiated water.
I hope HBO are taking notes
"Lets put them everywhere, yayyy, they are the safest!"
If this had happened in the USA the world would be doomed. Japan has their act together on public social work, even with the water being released.
Comments on this page are 3years old, yet this video is a year old?
☹hey， Japan is dumping nuclear wastewater now... each human being should watch. it is disgusting.
I didnt look if someone has mention this. I think this disaster is Japan's revenge to US 1945 atomic bomb, but everyone had to taste it. its just a metaphorical expression.
You aren't very smart are you? The effect on the water is very minimal, and only really effects japans coast near fukushima. And who is getting hurt here besides japan? Because the US, the ones who would be the target of revenge, has some pretty nice tap water haha.
Some thing i cant understand. Japan is well known for earthquakes and tsunami's. So where do they build a nuclear power plant? Right on the damn sea shore. I'm no genius but im gonna guess that's probably not the best place to build a plant.
“This island isn’t good for building anything due to earthquakes” mindset is the reason why Imperial Japan invaded other countries in WW2 though. So yeah if they are not allowed to expand territories the only option they can do is to improve their technology and make their power plants being earthquake proof. So really they have done well enough with such limited lands and resources.
The Fukushima disaster and ruined plant can never be resolved. It is a permanent blight for Japan.

Fukushima survived an earthquake+tsunami combo.
Does your country make any nuclear plant that can survive quake+tsunami?
How about after filtering , mix it with concrete and dump concrete in the depths of deepest ocean depths .It will eventually be covered below.

That's dumb. All nuclear power plants in the world release the same tritiated water routinely. Why do you insist that Fukushima hold theirs forever when all the others just release theirs as needed? Get a clue!
@@danadurnfordkevinblanchdebunk
That's easy. All nuclear plants MUST STOP releasing tritiated water. It will also help to decrease human population growth. Less energy to consume = less goods to consume = less people decide to replicate. The Earth is already overpopulated and Earth's ecosystem is suffering. There's a danger of ecosystem collapse that will cause the end of civilization.
What about Fukushima - they want to release tritiated water to ocean, instead of most of nuclear plants in civilized countries, where nuclear plants using closed water cooling cycle. They caring of their future and future of nature at all.
What we can do?
Declare strikes, organize protests, quit from jobs at uncivilized nuclear plants, no matter how hard can be our life after. Live of the few families, who probably lose a job and starve to death is nothing against billions of people who can live further on the healthy planet instead of nuclear wasteland, which killing all of live beings.
In the few words:
We don't need a Porsche 911, Iphone and other "luxury" garbage, produced for "consumer society". Our minds, creativity and the Nature around us is a real luxury.

Therefore, I've already get off the grid.

Try it on someone ignorant.
These people screwed up really why would you put a plant that close to the shoreline? Why wouldn’t you put a 16 foot wall this is a disaster waiting to happen
A 16 foot wall?? This tsunami was over 30 meters high in some places. Even if the tsunami wasn't 16 m high at Fukushima that wave just keeps coming and consequently can push over higher walls.
because TEPCO wanted to cut corners and ignore various failed inspections
I've already told them and now it is known to all major countries concerned and not concerned that TEPCO can recycle the waste water, which would immediately allow the company to stop accumulating more waste water. Then, it is possible over the next few decades, some estimate it may take up to 40 years to decommission all the reactors.... During that time, they can slowly vaporize the waste water, and releasing pure, distilled water, that contains no more than a few tritium based heavy water molecules into the air, in the meantime, collect grains of the radioactive, or not, as wastes to be buried.
People would be screaming even louder it they were to evaporate the water.
Can't we dump the water tanks in a volcano
Series The Days brought me here. I actually never knew for this nuclear disaster I feel so sorry for people that lost their lives, family, homes and workers. Also I wanna say govermant is trash as I can see they did not let people to leav and also lies to all of them...
Where will all the toxins stored in barrels end up? How will the be disposed of?
The risk of nuclear disaster is far too great, never mind the toxic waste, it’s just not worth it.
Literally just as safe as coal power, there is very minimal risk with proper isolation and maintenance. Almost every example of a nuclear disaster has been from human error, not the science itself being dangerous. As long as reactors are properly maintained and monitored they are less likely to fail than traditional power plants. They are vastly better for emissions, and nuclear waste could be repurposed rather than being disposed if the industry were allowed to grow. However, sadly due to fear-mongering and misinformation people think these safe power plants are nuclear bombs just waiting to pop. Very sad that the world views it this way and prevents further developments in the field.
Aren't the reactors melting down any longer ?
of course not, that stopped more than a decade ago.

Fukushima nuclear power plant is on side of sea. if I design a nuclear power plant, reactor buildings stand on concrete colons above water. If there is a disaster, concrete colons can be exploded thus whole reactor buildings sink into water however, water is separated than sea by enclosed area. thus there is no radioactive contamination and it can not spread under water.

What does everyone think will happen in a CME Level 5 event? Post Fukushima, they only checked U.S.A. reactors for floods and earthquakes preparation.
Already at Fukushima offshore fish found with radiation levels 56 times maximum acceptable levels for human consumption.

This is false. I checked for you, there is no source that I can find that reports even close to that level of radiation.
