Reactor # 2 has had an explosion!

Reactor number 2 in Fukushima, Japan has now expoloded. Japan news reports also that 2.7 of a rod is exposed. This means that the sea water can not cool the rods because it is evaporating too quickly.

There also are reports that there are some stronger radiation readings were found south of the plant. All personel but those working on the reactor to keep it from exploded are not being evacuated from reactor 2.

I wanted to add to and compliment Keith's blog on the Nuclear Plants, with a focus on the USA Nuclear Plants close to the New Madrid earthquake faultline. As you can see they are mainly localized on the Eastern half of the USA....You can see what will happen here also if the New Madrid earthquake occurs ..

I want to address the problem of the avalibility of Potassium Iodide right now. Most supplier are out, back ordered or not taking orders at all.. Don't give up keep looking if you do not have any in your emergency supplies.

The only brands that I recommend are FDA approved and are IOSAT, ThyroShield and Thyrosafe.

Infants are most suseptable to radiation fallout and adults over 40 are less.. It works best if used within 3-4 hours of exposure. Comes in liquid and tablets..

This is how the Japanese people will rise above adversity again.  It is strong moral character.

How does that work?  They are using less gas which means there is more of a supply on the world market which lowers the price.  Personally, I'd rather pay the higher price than to see this devastation.

"The U.N. nuclear agency said a state of emergency was also declared Sunday at another complex, the Onagawa power plant, after higher-than-permitted levels of radiation were measured there. It said Japan informed it that all three of those reactors there were under control.

"Four nuclear complexes in northeastern Japan have reported some damage from the quake or the tsunami."

"The pulverized coast has been hit by hundreds of aftershocks since Friday, the latest one a 6.2 magnitude quake that was followed by a new tsunami scare Monday. As sirens wailed, soldiers abandoned their search operations and told residents of the devastated shoreline in Soma, the worst hit town in Fukushima prefecture, to run to higher ground.

"They barked out orders: "Find high ground! Get out of here!" Several soldiers were seen leading an old woman up a muddy hillside. The warning turned out to be a false alarm.

History repeats itself (remember Haiti?):  "People are surviving on little food and water. Things are simply not coming," said Hajime Sato, a government official in Iwate prefecture, one of the three hardest hit.  He said authorities were receiving just 10 percent of the food and other supplies they need."

Monster Aftershock Could Strike Within Days

Historically, it would be one point lower, a 7.9.

"The US Geological Survey estimated the quake moved the Japanese coast about 2.4 metres.

''It basically pushed the sea floor up and down on opposite sides of the fault by 10 metres, causing the tsunami,'' Dr McCue said. ''It is a sudden rupture that has occurred, but it has occurred because the two plates are converging at about eight centimetres a year and have been for about 100 years. That eight metres is released suddenly when the plate snaps and breaks and produces the earthquake.''
