Architect of Fukushima Daiichi Reactor 3, Uehara Haruo, the former president of Saga University had an interview on 11/17/2011.
In this interview, he admitted Tepco’s explanation does not make sense, and that the China syndrome is inevitable.
He stated that considering 8 months have passed since 311 without any improvement, it is inevitable that melted fuel went out of the container vessel and sank underground, which is called China syndrome.
He added, if fuel has reaches a underground water vein, it will cause contamination of underground water, soil contamination and sea contamination. Moreover, if the underground water vein keeps being heated for long time, a massive hydrovolcanic explosion will be caused.
He also warned radioactive debris is spreading in Pacific Ocean. Tons of the debris has reached the Marshall Islands as of 11/15/2011.

I Live in Japan. I am a japanese.
I fear very much about the fukushima NPP present situation.
The government officially said that they are going to stop in
the cool temperature(reionnteishi)
I fear that the uranium fuel is melted thru the container into the soil.
Why the government not says that these critical situation and
danger you mentioned.
At the early time Assistant Professor Koide of Kyoto University mentioned the possibility. And urgently block the underground around the building. The melted fuel get thuru the inside of the soil will contaminate and goes thuru into the sea. This must be blocked by building the block inside the soil of the NPP s
TEPCO has aware of this fact Mr.Koide mentioned at that time
and
Tepco’s plan includes the dealings of these case.
.
I think the government hides the fact and is afraid of being
known the reality.
How do you think?
The goverment is very unrealiable, and betrayal.
Voltscommissar says:
@ TOMOKO YAMAKAWA who said “And urgently block the underground around the building.”
because it is impossible?? The best that can be hoped for is that there are no more big earthquakes, that ground water can be pumped out and decontaminated, and that the corium creates a stble self-made ‘drill hole’ (shaft) which does not collapse. Thus preventing pressure build-up.
Eventually the decay heat will be less, and if we are lucky the corium is becoming so contaminaed with molten silicates, etc. that the fissionable material will be unable to reach criticality, even if by chance it clumps together in a bigger blob (lump) as it descends into Hell.
Makes perfect sense to me. You might add that this particular nuclear plant real estate will probably become a hole, a kind of new bay, with some flooding in the process – a mini tsunami？Then TEPCO will have achieved ″cold shutdown″ as promised and the size of the evacuation zone will not be an issue anymore, as it’ll be gone.
Question：in all their stupidity, incompetency and criminal complacency, were they able to predict such an event happening around their January deadline, taking into account the rate of descent of the material they deny is lost and the hydrography？
