Welcome!

A blog interested in the truth, however uncomfortable it might be.  

Millions of feet cubed of water has been used to try to keep the reactors at Fukushima cool

Just to get an idea of the amount of water used by Tepco in the past 3 months to try to cool the reactors and spent fuel pools, I decided to look at the numbers, and they are monumental. Unit 1 is as of June 5  injected with water at the rate of 5m3/hr, unit 2 at 5 m3/h, and unit 3 at 11.5 m3/h (these numbers are substantially lower than they have been and go up and down, and we don't have a rate of water spraying of the spent fuel pools, so the number will be lower than the actual ft3 in three months.

Here is the math 5 +5 +11.5 = 21.5m3/h X 24 hours/day (3 X 30 days) = 46, 440 m3/3 months now for the Americans:

46,440 m3 = 1,640,013 ft3 and the actual number is at least 3 times that number.  for example my living room is 17 X 13 X 9 = 1989 ft3 they filled up my living room at least 825 times. 

It is physically impossible for Tepco to contain this monumental amount of water; therefore there is a continual flow into the ocean.
