Will Japan become inhabitable? If so, look out supply chain…..

Wait, so this guy believes that the fuel rods breaking and exiting the containment vessels is a more serious threat to the Japanese environment than when we dropped two nuclear warheads on the country?
I can appreciate the water supply argument. However, beyond that, someone quantify this for me.
Bullshit.
The US dropped two nukes on them and they didn’t have much of a problem with people continuing to live in those cities.. He’s over egging it.
How many bombs dud the US explode in the Mojave desert?
radiation causes cancer, but I don’t really follow this. Are nuclear bomb testings made in a way that somehow contains the radiation? How much radiation are we talking about on a Geiger counter comparing one to another? How much more people will be effective due to the weather carrying this radiation and radioactive water throughout the world over time? I don’t think you can say “uninhabitable, maybe they’ll be an increase in cancer rates which the gov’ts will suppress.
Short lookup on Wikipedia:
Fat Man, the Nagasaki bomb, contained 6.2 Kg Plutonium.
Reactor 3 of Fukushima contains 94000 Kg of MOX fuell, 7-8% being Plutonium -> approx. 7000 Kg Plutonium. 1000 times the bad stuff contained in Fat Man, not counting the Uranium and chain reation byproducts.
An atomic explosion sucks everything in and beneath it into the upper atmosphere, where it gets dispersed over a global area. In Fukushima the stuff just leaks out or get blown into the near area by hygrogen explosions.
So you could have 1000x the highly toxic radioaktive stuff in a smaller area, in worst case. Maybe some people are exaggerating, but not by much.
When you airburst a nuclear weapon – as was done in WW II to minimize residual radiation, the only material that becomes radioactive is what the bomb was made from and some surrounding air. At that point it is just a matter of the isotopes dispersing and decaying. Some isotopes are short lived, some are long but because it is an airburst they disperse pretty rapidly.
By contrast when you have a molten hunk of radioactive core melt through the containment and come into contact with the ground water then you have two processes (at least) happening continually. First you have radioactive material leaching out into the ground from the mass of radioactive material in the core (that is now in contact with the ground and ground water) and secondly you are continuing to create new isotopes as the core material is still hot and undergoing a low level of fission.
The two events are not comparable. That said, given that Japan is an island group it is not clear how ground water on another island would be impacted so “Japan becoming unlivable” sounds like hyperbole.

Ground water, no. Godzilla, yes.
7000kg will probably get all of Monster Island riled up, and Japan will be a goner.
Not if Mothra gets a hook up from the twins.

Japan was uninhabitable before the nuclear accident according to one of my friends… lol
The real problem, and I’m not an expert, is that when the nuclear materials enter the environment in a slow gradual fashion, it is recycled by the environment through rain and moisture transfer systems.
If nothing is done then the nuclear material is continually recycled by nature.
That would render farming, drinking water, and land in general as uninhabitable.
You mean uninhabitable

Thanks Dazydee, that would explain this guys fear.

no way
Remember, folks, the world is always ending according to someone
