[R-P] Problema nuclear japonés ¿puede convertirse en problema del mundo?

[Fernando Cassia]

Alguien que sepa más de energía nuclear que yo... ¿es factible esto
que dice este Australiano que si se fisura el reactor y quedan las
barras de combustible nuclear expuestas, fisionando "al aire libre",
no sólo escaparían cantidades increíbles de radiación a la atmósfera
sino que los neutrones libres "encenderían" el combustible usado que
se encuentra almacenado por todo el complejo, o sea el combustible
nuclear ya utilizado de todos los otros reactores que los rodean?.

En ese caso, como bien dice, el incidente deja de ser roblema de los
japoneses y puede pasar a ser problema del mundo... como cuando a los
europeos les "llovia" la radiación de Chernobyl...

I spent a large part of my life researching many things, nuclear
power/technologies is
one of them.

What I would like to say is there is a very real almost guaranteed
threat of a Total Area Criticality Event.

1- This site is huge, too much for 1000 able men to handle when out of
control and that is being proven.

2- Free neutrons from criticality events "meltdown, subsequent reactor
breach" will be bouncing everywhere henceforth "lighting up" the
"spent fuel" storage areas that will be soon running dry due to
inability to keep them under water because the entire area is (A)
radioactively and thermally hot,and

(B) they will be neglected for
some reason "crisis management priorities". There is a very real risk
that all fuel on site no matter stored/used will fission open air. The
hundreds of  tons of fuel contained on that site stored since it's
first operations "lighting up outside" could cause world wide
radiation poisoning. My suggestion is the entire world do the only
thing they can and get potassium iodide tablets/hope for the best.
