Japan’s Nuclear Power Plant:

Wednesday – A fresh fire broke out at a reactor of Japan’s Fukushima No 1 nuclear power plant early today (same reactor as yesterday), smoke was pouring from the roof of the number-four reactor at the plant, as per an operator of Tokyo Electric Power (TEPCO), which was confirmed by satellite images.

The remaining 50 workers were evacuated after radiation levels there have surged and allowed back in less than an hour later.

White fumes emerging from the plant may constitute radioactive steam that has breached Unit 3′s containment, as per Chief cabinet secretary Yukio Edano.

According to WikiLeaks Japan was warned more than two years ago that Japan’s nuclear power plants safety rules were not up to date and not capable of enduring powerful earthquakes by a Nuclear Watchdog group.

Tuesday:  Japan Nuclear Catastrophe now worse than 3 Mile Island. Classified as a level 6 out of a 7 – Chernobyl being a 7 (Ukraine 1986) -With two reactors exploding despite efforts to cool them. Three Mile Island (Pennsylvania 1979) was rated a level 5 by comparison.

“We are clearly in a catastrophe.” says ASN president Andre-Claude Lacoste.

On Three Mile Island, thick concrete armor around the reactor called the containment shell, did it’s job and held the radiation leak . The Chernobyl reactor had no shell and was also operational when the disaster struck. The Japanese reactors automatically shut down when the quake hit.

Prime Minister Naoto Kan said radiation had spread from four reactors.

Potassium iodide pills were being distributed as a precaution against radiation over-exposure.

A Missionary family just made contact with a local church and sent out this message: ..."Because of the danger of radiation contamination, sensors are in place every 20 km from the site.  As of about 1 hour ago, a sensor 100 km south of the Fukushima site registered 100X normal radiation.  So radiation is leaking, but a normal X-Ray exposes you to 1000X normal radiation (although briefly)..."  They're approx 200km from the nuclear plant. 100x's is more than the 40x's the media reported.

There is thought that Japan radioactivity could enter food chain, and kids could be put at risk; as radiation travels on moisture droplets in the air and lands as dew - the cows eat the dew and kids drink the milk.

Lee Tin-lap, toxicologist and associate professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong's School of Medical Sciences, said "Steam that is released into the air will eventually get back into the water and sea life will be affected ... once there is rain, drinking water will also be contaminated. No one is measuring the levels of radiation in the sea" .

If this so happens to be the beginning of things to come approaching 2012 .... God help us.

Monday: The second hydrogen explosion Japan's stricken Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant Monday at the plant's Unit 3, sending a massive column of smoke into the air and wounding workers. It was not immediately clear how much — if any — radiation had been released.

Last reports indicate iodine is being distributed to residents... increased evacuation zones.

Emergency nuclear backup systems have failed. US was delivering coolant...

Sunday: at 10:08pm ET CNN reports  - Japan's chief cabinet secretary, Yukio Edano said at 11:54 a.m Sunday Tokyo time [9:54 pm ET Saturday ]  – a meltdown may have occurred at at least one nuclear power reactor; and the possibility of another meltdown at a second reactor.

Tokyo Electric Power [Tepco] said radiation levels at the plant had exceeded the legal limit  – Sunday morning. Japan’s nuclear safety agency said – hourly radiation at the site was measured at 882 micro sievert, in excess of the allowable level of 500.  The level had briefly risen 1,204 micro sievert said Edano.

A Missionary family just made contact with a local church and sent out this message: …”Because of the danger of radiation contamination, sensors are in place every 20 km from the site.  As of about 1 hour ago, a sensor 100 km south of the Fukushima site registered 100X normal radiation.  So radiation is leaking, but a normal X-Ray exposes you to 1000X normal radiation (although briefly)…”  They’re approx 200km from the nuclear plant.

Authorities released steam to relieve pressure from the second overheating reactor.
