TEPCo has asked another company to check soil samples for plutonium. Plutonium is created when the uranium fuel rods are “jolted” during the fission process.  If reactor cores are breached, which many “experts” now believe, then plutonium should be detected outside the reactors.

Plutonium is bad. Depending on the type of plutonium isotope, the half life can range from 14 years to 80 million years!

As Bill Nye said in a CNN interview last week, all they can do now is dump concrete on the reactors.

Here’s more proof that corporations are idiots: TEPCo has not been able to detect plutonium, so they are contracting with another company to do the test.  The test will take several days, according to Japanese media reports.  Several days? When your dealing with plutonium you need to know yesterday!

TEPCo now says it will check soil twice a week for plutonium. NOW?  Why not from the beginning of the disaster you idiots! Plutonium is present in spent fuel rods, and three of the spent fuel pools blew up, remember?  That means plutonium was spread all over during the first week!
