Interviewed by CNN Bill Nye the Science Guy was asked if he was calling Fukushima Daiichi another Chernobyl. His answer: “I am, yeah!”

Nye explained that the only way the reactors can be emitting such high levels of radiation is that deadly plutonium is getting out.  Plutonium is created when the uranium fuel is “jolted” during the production of electrical power.

His answer to the problem? Dump concrete on the reactors,  just like the Soviets did with Chernobyl.  Nye explained there is no way to “repair” damaged reactor cores.  This is the main problem with nuclear reactors!

I’m saying this is worse than Chernobyl, because Chernobyl involved ONE reactor.  Fukushima Daiichi has THREE reactors showing signs of damaged cores!  From the beginning of this nuclear disaster, the Russians and Ukrainians (who have first hand experience with Chernobyl) have been saying Fukushima Daiichi will be worse than Chernobyl!
