Tokyo Electric Power Company says the spent fuel pool, located above reactor 4, is too weak to take any more water. Also, it is cause for concern with any more aftershocks. There are more than 1,000 fuel rods in the pool.
They will now try to reinforce the floor of the pool, by adding additional support pillars.
Tokyo Electric Power Company admits Fukushima Daiichi’s Reactor 1 has a damaged core.
It would explain the high levels of radioactive water coming from the building. TEPCo thinks the core is breached, allowing radioactive steam to enter the containment vessel. That’s mixing with the water in the containment vessel, which is also leaking. To make the problem worse, the fuel rods in the core are still partially exposed, and breaking down.
TEPCo wants to continue injecting water, which they are doing at a rate of 600 tons per hour. The Japanese Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency is warning that they think Reactor 1 is damaged so much that it can not handle anymore water injection. If TEPCo is injecting water at 600 tons per hour, and they still can’t cover the exposed fuel rods, obviously the water is leaking out faster than they can put it in. That suggests sizable damage.
So, TEPCo is dealing with a conundrum; adding more water could further damage the structure, making things worse, but not injecting water will expose more fuel rods, making things worse.
Tokyo Electric Power Company is worried about Reactor 4, at the Fukushima Daiichi nuke plant. They think the spent fuel pool has been too damaged by the 9.0 quake, and the many aftershocks, that they can’t inject anymore water to keep fuel rods cool.
On 22 April, the temperature shot up 50 degrees Celsius, above normal, and 200 tons of water had to be injected. TEPCo is now monitoring the structure of the building as well as the spent fuel pool temps. The spent fuel pool holds more than 1,000 fuel rods, including active rods that had just been removed from Reactor 4, for scheduled maintenance, before the 11 March disasters.
Tokyo Electric Power Company says crews working at Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant found 30 x 30 centimeter (11 x 11 inches) concrete fragment, that’s radioactive.
The small block is emitting 900 millisieverts per hour of radiation. It was placed in a nuke waste container. TEPCo says the concrete came from Reactor 3, after its hydrogen gas explosion.

Recently Subaru of America responded to complaints about an Israeli advertisement, in which the head of a property development company runs over Palestinian kids, who’re protesting their land being taken, with his new Subaru.
Subaru of America said they think the ad “…is fake”. Even if the ad is fake, the video of the actual incident is all over the internet.
The incident took place in 2010, you can clearly see the Zionist is driving a Subaru (outside the U.S. Subaru is known as Fuji Heavy Industries):

SUBARU DISOWNS ISRAELI ADVERTISMENT SHOWING PALESTINIANS BEING RUN OVER BY SUBARU CAR
22 April 2011
“Nobody will stand against you! Subaru!”
In a response to complaints about an Israeli ad that shows Palestinian teens being hit by an Israeli driving a Subaru (made by Fuji Heavy Industries), U.S. Subaru officials claim Subaru had nothing to do with the ad.
“Thank you for taking the time to contact Subaru of America. We appreciate you bringing your concern to our attention.
We are the distributor of new Subaru products for the United States only. We believe that this to be a fake advertisement. This posting has been brought to the attention of the manufacturer of Subaru vehicles. Please bear with Subaru while we attempt to locate the source and to have it removed.
Thank you for bringing this to Subaru’s attention.
Sincerely,
John J. Mergen
Subaru of America, Inc.”
It was China’s Xinhua News that first reported the advertisement. It’s intersting that even though Subaru is a Japanese brand, made by Fuji Heavy Industries, people upset by the advertisment complained to the Subaru of America office!
Japan has gone through a lot in the past month. But typhoon season is on it’s way. Nishiyama Hidehiko, of the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency, said nuke plant operators are now preparing for typhoon season.
They believe preparations will be complete by the end of the month. Officials say the nuke plants are designed to withstand a typhoon, but isn’t that what they said about earthquakes and tsunamis?
Another factor is that some of those nuclear plants have been damaged by the 11 March, 9.0 quake and tsunami. Wouldn’t that comprise their strength? Even this morning, 22 April, Fukushima Daiichi was hit by yet another aftershock, 5.6 magnitude.
Fukushima Daiichi is right on the coast, and Tokyo Electric doesn’t think they can get the plant stabilized enough for a cold shut down for at least six to nine months. The Typhoon season is here, now. Typhoons start hitting Japan as early as May, and the season peaks in September.
At least two nuclear plants in the United States have been automatically shut down this week. A nuclear plant in Virgina, and a nuclear plant in Georgia.
In Surry, Virginia, a nuke plant was hit by tornadoes. It shut down automatically, and is now undergoing repairs to its electrical switchyard.
A nuke plant in Georgia automatically shut down, for no reason. The plant remains off line while an investigation continues to find out why the automatic systems shut it down. The plant is near Waynesboro, Georgia.
Toyota will now cut production in China by 70%, the cut back will last until June 5.
A few days ago they originally planned for 50% cuts, until June 3. The problem is lack of parts from disaster stricken Japan.
Not only has the Japanese government made it a legal offense to enter the evacuation zone around Fukushima Daiichi, they have expanded the zone as well.
Because of high radiation build up, towns outside the original 20km (12.4miles) zone will be evacuated. The towns are Katsurao, Namie, Iitate and some areas of Kawamata and Minamisoma. Residents have until the end of May to leave.
