Fukushima:
"The probability that the rescue succeeds goes to zero"
The
German physicist Sebastian Pfugbeil is extremely pessimistic that an
elementary Fukushima disaster can be averted. The consequences
would be felt the entire northern hemisphere. Pflugbeil:
"Humanity could be damaged during failure of attempts to recover
the used fuel elements of the Fukushima nuclear power plant in an
unprecedented way by blasting."

The
German physicist Sebastian Pflugbeil considers the situation in
Fukushima for extremely critical. Pflugbeil told the German business
news: "Humanity could to recover from failure of attempts to
make the used fuel elements of the Fukushima nuclear power plant are
damaged in an unprecedented way by blasting." Although Pflugbeil
does not believe that the human race by another disaster in Fukushima
is extinguished: "Humanity is very sturdy!" But he is very
pessimistic about the possibilities that the situation can not be
brought under control.
Pflugbeil
the situation in Fukushima:
"The
situation is becoming increasingly critical due to the decay of the
ruins. The fuel rods are not safe. The reactor blocks from bag.
Thousands of tons of contaminated water to be discharged into the
sea. The ground on which rests the reactor is no longer resilient -
he swims . It has all been moved so that there is about one meter
height difference from one corner to another. The resulting induced
voltages have resulted in alarming cracks in the building
construction. "
Pflugbeil
to the dangers:
"If
the fuel rods are not cooled, it will be a disaster. Then huge
amounts of radioactivity are released. As a crack extends into the
pelvis and the cooling water is running out. The fuel would ignite .
The fuel rod cladding are made of zirconium. If it burns, you
can not get it under control. The shells break on then. Then flows to
a large extent from radioactivity - gaseous, volatile, medium
volatile. Also, the fuel in the other blocks of the nuclear power
plant are then destroyed in the foreseeable future, because the
employee must leave the area due to the extreme radiation exposure
immediately. It requires only a small earthquake or a storm surge or
simply the failure of building structures to set this disaster in
motion. "
The
rescue plan of the Japanese:
"The
Japanese will first extract the 1,300 fuel in unit 4 individually.
Even if only one is broken, the workers have to go. This is an
extremely complicated and lengthy process. How difficult is you have
seen on a test that have made a still unused fuel the Japanese.
Dens have steered her hand while pulling out. Hand! The active fuel
rods can not handle with one hand, that would be fatal. The
probability that the rescue is successful, zero. "
Pflugbeil
the consequences:
"The
danger posed by the old fuel is enormous. In all the experts agree
on. When it comes to this worst-case scenario, large areas have to be
evacuated. If the wind is blowing in the direction of Tokyo, would
completely evacuated Tokyo are. But we can not. The consequences
would not only Japan but the entire northern hemisphere concern .
Because the air currents run on the northern hemisphere and the
southern hemisphere somewhat separated. Chernobyl was, after more
than 1000 km away. The competent experts and politicians have then
assured that we have no fear of health problems in Germany. There
were different: more disabled children were born, the infant
mortality rate rose, Down syndrome and leukemia in children
increased. Other consequences were even more dramatic: In Western
Europe, the Chernobyl region and the southern states of the Soviet
Union about a million girls were not born because of the Chernobyl
disaster. The number of victims in Western Europe alone is
demonstrably in the hundreds of thousands . There is much to suggest
that we all experience after the Fukushima disaster once again. In
addition, the contamination of the Pacific, in the complicated and
long dauerne food chains run that play an important role in human
nutrition. This will hit the entire Pacific population and the living
of it. "
Pflugbeil
the lethargy of many Japanese:
"The
Japanese have been educated for centuries to an extremely customized
behavior. They have been repeatedly drilled out that they have to
behave like the others, that criticism of superiors in politics is
indecent. The social pressure on the individual is enormous. They may
not admit that they are afraid. Beneath the blanket of course they
are terrified . But they may not show it. I have been repeatedly
reported that someone has to go to the doctor because of some disease
in its environment it tells nothing. He was afraid that you would
think he would go to the doctor because of Fukushima. But this is not
desirable. "
To
the denial of reality:
"In
Fukushima, get kids in the canteens of schools still have the food
from the region. Now, when a child takes his lunch from home because
his parents worried, then the child is quoted forward. It is alleged,
because it is not patriotic acts. This reminds me very much of the
time in East Germany after Chernobyl: the children whose parents were
aware, have not been drinking their milk at school. Then these
parents found themselves in trouble at their work places. Parents
were asked what nonsense because they tell their children. "
The
previous "rescue":
"It
is incredible that the Japanese government has cause to be deleted
without the international community to ask for help more than two
years into the country. It is not the case that you systematically
step by step brings the faulty installation fine .. There are many
companies on site, everyone wants to do something - but there is no
master plan , as the problem should be solved. Until recently, the
Japanese have not even had instruments with which they were able to
measure the radiation of the highly contaminated liquids that are
kept poorly in large tanks on the grounds of the nuclear power plant.
Thus, all workers who had to do with a lot of exposed to high levels
of radiation have been. "
On
the international nuclear authorities:
"The
bodies of the UN, IAEA and WHO, as it should be actually to protect
the people who are almost exclusively in the service of the nuclear
industry. The people in the authorities come from uranium mining,
nuclear energy operators of the nuclear industry or nuclear medicine.
There are very few independent people on the boards. The UN will soon
release a report is the responsibility of the United Nations
Scientific Committee on the effect of Atomic Radiation UNSCEAR: The
report is a plain edifice of lies. He will totally trivialize the
situation in Fukushima . He will pretend that everything was under
control and there would be no radiation damage in the population. We
know the corresponding estimates of the consequences of Chernobyl. In
Japan, it is unfortunately also the custom that politicians , when
they leave office, a well-paid jobs in the nuclear industry get where
they do not need to work. These items they do not want to jeopardize.
Therefore, they do not dare to tell the truth.
About
the fear of international experts to help in Fukushima:
"There
are only a handful of experts who really have expertise in this
problem. These people behave quietly now and duck away to. They pray
that the world which comes with a black eye. No rips about to go to
Fukushima and help. For all to know: This work is life-threatening
and success is more than questionable.
Sebastian
Pflugbeil will travel to Japan on Thursday. After a congressional he
will ride in the Fukushima Prefecture. He wants to get an idea of
the situation. He will try to come in spite of active
obstruction by the operators and the government of information, such
as the situation really is.
Dr.
rer. nat. Sebastian Pflugbeil is president of the German Society for
Radiation Protection Pflugbeil worked until the turn as a medical
physicist at the National Institute for Cardiovascular Research,
Academy of Sciences of the GDR in Berlin-Buch and dealt volunteer
with problems of atomic energy recovery, in particular the effects of
radiation in uranium mines of bismuth. He was co-founder of the East
German citizens' movement New Forum and represented this as a speaker
at Berlin and at the Central Round Table. In 1990 he was Minister
without Portfolio in the transitional government under Hans Modrow.
In this role, he campaigned for the immediate decommissioning of
nuclear reactors in the GDR. He was then to 1995 deputy in the Berlin
city parliament. In 2012 he received the Nuclear-Free Future Award
for his life's work.
