Experts: Fukushima Unit 4 has shown signs of collapsing
- Underneath buildings it’s becoming saturated
- “Known fractures in soil”
- Large structure already went down at plant after ground was super-saturated and had mudslide in March 2011

Tepco’s
video tour of Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant,
Sept. 2013 (At
1:00 in)
– The power line tower of units 5 & 6 fell over due to a
collapse of the embankment. Consequently, the whole site lost its
outside power source. 20-minute

News Report interviews Dean Wilkie,
nuclear reactor operations at a U.S. Department of Energy test
reactor in Idaho (At
28:50 in)
– When the accident happened back in March 2011 there was a power
pole, one of these huge power poles, inside of the Daiichi facility,
inside the area there, and the ground that it was set on became
super-saturated with water and they had a mud slide and that whole
tower went down […] At Fukushima now, what we’re seeing, all of
this work that they’ve been doing with these walls and then it’s
causing the water to back up, it’s starting to saturate soil that’s
underneath the buildings and in adjacent areas around the buildings.
Couple that with the fact that there are known fractures in that soil
— it was very obvious during the earthquake. Full

Nuclear
Expert Gordon Edwards interview on the Green Power Wellness
Show (At
32:00 in)
– The worry with Unit No. 4, even though there was no fuel in the
core of the reactor, there’s a spent fuel pool very precariously
perched up above 5 floors. If the plant were to collapse — which
it’s been showing signs of doing — then that fuel would be all
over the place and it would be impossible to cool. And that would
be a real… you could get far greater emissions than we did
initially. Full

Having
been required by Nuclear Regulation Authority to take prevention
based on the worst assumption, Tepco announced they are calculating
the possibility of collapsing and the potential damage of it.
Tepco’s
vice president of Aizawa stated it in their press conference of
9/25/2013.
At
this moment, the 28m radius area from the stack is off-limits.
