Nuclear Expert Arnie Gundersen, Fairewinds Energy Education: What’s really important is the words at the bottom of slide number 19 by Tokyo Electric. Tokyo Electric acknowledges that this was a detonation.

Now if you’ll recall a detonation is a shock wave that travels faster than the speed of sound and no one is designing containments to withstand a detonation shock wave.

So I’m pleased actually that Tokyo Electric has finally agreed with me. That his was a detonation shock wave and not a deflagration like in Unit 1.

So I think the first important thing for the NRC to admit is that containments leak. The second thing is they can explode with a detonation shock wave.

Fukushima fallout refugees meet at Naminoue beach in Okinawa

THREE days after Japan's biggest-ever earthquake and its colossal shock waves pummeled Fukushima's coast, reducing the TEPCO Daiichi nuclear plant to radioactive wreckage, Mari Takenouchi cycled frantically through East Tokyo with her baby strapped on her back.

The Tokyo-born translator had set aside a small window of time to do last-minute errands before she and her one-year-old son fled to the Okinawa islands – Japan's southernmost prefecture, 2000 kilometres south of the unfolding crisis. En route to the airport, she rushed to get to a dentist appointment, taking her baby with her.
