RED ALERT: The Fukushima-Daiichi water cooling system has FAILED, warns NHK news... 2,544 fuel rods stored there... claims 'no immediate danger'


Fukushima earthquake

(NaturalNews) From NHK World TV Live, broadcasting from Japan: "TEPCO says the Fukushima nuclear power plant, #3 reactor, the water cooling system seems to have stopped. Technical officials are trying to confirm the situation. More than 2500 spent fuel rods are being kept at the pool at Fukushima. 2544 fuel rods are being kept at the spent fuel pool at the third reactor."

"TEPCO observed the tsunami at 6:40 am. No details of damage available yet."

"The tide level is rising... from the nuclear power plant at the third reactor of Fukushima, the water cooling system has stopped and water circulating to cool the fuel pool has stopped, however the water at the fuel pool is enough to keep the fuel pools cool... the water in the pool is enough and therefore it is not going to create a dangerous situation immediately..."

"There is no immediate danger at the nuclear power plant... the water system that supplies cooling has stopped... the water temperature is 27 degrees and will not rise to dangerous levels for a while..."

A few minutes later NHK World reported, "the water temperature is 28.7 degrees" and rising... "there will be an increase of 0.2 degrees per hour, meaning it will take one week to reach [limits]."

"The cooling system has STOPPED. They are not able to find out what caused the stoppage... maybe the earthquake caused shaking..."

"We will continue to capture any information about any damages, so we can swiftly move on to take counter actions. Since tsunami warnings have been issued, please evacuate these areas..."

"A 90cm tsunami hit a port... there are reports of minor injuries. The tsunami warning is still in effect. They have issued a tsunami advisory... the tsunami will hit repeatedly... a magnitude 7.3 earthquake struck off the coast at 5:59 am local time. A short while ago, a 90cm tsunami hit the port of..."

"Please evacuate immediately in order to save your life... don't go back... get to high ground..."

A massive 7.3 magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of northeastern Japan earlier this morning, Japan time. A ten-foot tsunami wave is expected to strike the coast of Japan within minutes or hours. The Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear power facility is located there and was severely damaged in a 2011 tsunami event that led to a nuclear meltdown of some of the fuel rods.

Since 2011, the fuel rods have remained exposed to the open air, and Japanese nuclear officials stated that it would take "100 years" to solve the Fukushima nuclear fuel problem.

If the fuel rod pools fail, it will unleash massive radiological pollution across the Northern Hemisphere, polluting most of North America with radioactive isotopes such as cesium-137. This isotope falls onto soils and renders farm lands unusable for farming for 200 - 300 years (the half life of Cs-137 is 29 years).

Protect yourself

My Health Ranger Store carries potassium iodide pills, which will quickly be depleted everywhere as citizens purchase KI to protect their thyroid from radiation damage. I just checked our inventory and we only have 3000 units in stock.

Unlike profiteering opportunists, we will maintain our everyday prices on these items, even if they become scarce, because we recognize the need to serve our readers and customers with protective nutritional solutions that can help protect against radiation damage.

We also offer this nascent iodine pack, which provides your body with elemental iodine that can displace radioactive iodine-131.

I am also preparing to conduct emergency manufacturing and large-scale donations of my patented Cesium Eliminator formula where needed, should cesium-137 become a common radioactive contaminant following another Fukushima catastrophe. I have stockpiled 10,000 kg of manufacturing material for this purpose, in anticipation of a nuclear / radiological event that would threaten many lives. I have already pledged to donate this material to victims in areas hit by radiological events.

Stay informed.

About the author:Mike Adams (aka the "Health Ranger") is a best selling author (#1 best selling science book on Amazon.com) and a globally recognized scientific researcher in clean foods. He serves as the founding editor of NaturalNews.com and the lab science director of an internationally accredited (ISO 17025) analytical laboratory known as CWC Labs. There, he was awarded a Certificate of Excellence for achieving extremely high accuracy in the analysis of toxic elements in unknown water samples using ICP-MS instrumentation. Adams is also highly proficient in running liquid chromatography, ion chromatography and mass spectrometry time-of-flight analytical instrumentation.

Adams is a person of color whose ancestors include Africans and Native American Indians. He's also of Native American heritage, which he credits as inspiring his "Health Ranger" passion for protecting life and nature against the destruction caused by chemicals, heavy metals and other forms of pollution.

Adams is the founder and publisher of the open source science journal Natural Science Journal, the author of numerous peer-reviewed science papers published by the journal, and the author of the world's first book that published ICP-MS heavy metals analysis results for foods, dietary supplements, pet food, spices and fast food. The book is entitled Food Forensics and is published by BenBella Books.

In his laboratory research, Adams has made numerous food safety breakthroughs such as revealing rice protein products imported from Asia to be contaminated with toxic heavy metals like lead, cadmium and tungsten. Adams was the first food science researcher to document high levels of tungsten in superfoods. He also discovered over 11 ppm lead in imported mangosteen powder, and led an industry-wide voluntary agreement to limit heavy metals in rice protein products.

In addition to his lab work, Adams is also the (non-paid) executive director of the non-profit Consumer Wellness Center (CWC), an organization that redirects 100% of its donations receipts to grant programs that teach children and women how to grow their own food or vastly improve their nutrition. Through the non-profit CWC, Adams also launched Nutrition Rescue, a program that donates essential vitamins to people in need. Click here to see some of the CWC success stories.

With a background in science and software technology, Adams is the original founder of the email newsletter technology company known as Arial Software. Using his technical experience combined with his love for natural health, Adams developed and deployed the content management system currently driving NaturalNews.com. He also engineered the high-level statistical algorithms that power SCIENCE.naturalnews.com, a massive research resource featuring over 10 million scientific studies.

Adams is well known for his incredibly popular consumer activism video blowing the lid on fake blueberries used throughout the food supply. He has also exposed "strange fibers" found in Chicken McNuggets, fake academic credentials of so-called health "gurus," dangerous "detox" products imported as battery acid and sold for oral consumption, fake acai berry scams, the California raw milk raids, the vaccine research fraud revealed by industry whistleblowers and many other topics.

Adams has also helped defend the rights of home gardeners and protect the medical freedom rights of parents. Adams is widely recognized to have made a remarkable global impact on issues like GMOs, vaccines, nutrition therapies, human consciousness.

In addition to his activism, Adams is an accomplished musician who has released over a dozen popular songs covering a variety of activism topics.
