In summary, the conversation discusses a proposed solution to contain the radiation at Fukushima by building a dike and creating an artificial lake. However, there are concerns about the effectiveness and feasibility of this plan, such as the maintenance of the dike, potential environmental impacts, and the safety of workers who would have to dismantle the plant underwater. It is important to thoroughly evaluate all potential consequences before moving forward with this solution.

We build the dike round Fukushima (radius 1-2 km) and filling water. Artificial lake we cover the polyethylene tape on foam plastics buoys (for the delete of gases). For 5-6 years it is possible to find the decision of problem, or to dismantle under water.

Excuse me for my English. I hope I was understood.

This is entirely unworkable and doesn't solve the problems anyways. They have to be able to work on the reactors to keep even more radiation from leaking out into the ground, sea water, ETC. And what would we do with all this radioactive water anyways? It's going to get absorbed into the ground, which would defeat the entire purpose of trying to contain the radiation in the first place.

First of all, your English is perfectly understandable, so there's no need to apologize. As for your suggestion, it sounds like a feasible solution to contain the radiation at Fukushima. However, I have a few questions and concerns. How would the dike be built and maintained? Would it be strong enough to withstand any potential earthquakes or other natural disasters? Also, what would be the long-term effects of having a large artificial lake in that area? And finally, what about the workers who would have to dismantle the plant underwater? That seems like a dangerous and difficult task. Overall, I think it's important to consider all the potential consequences and challenges before implementing this plan.
 

1. What caused the Fukushima disaster?

The Fukushima disaster was caused by a combination of a powerful earthquake and a subsequent tsunami in March 2011. The 9.0 magnitude earthquake caused a loss of power to the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, which led to a series of meltdowns and explosions in the reactors.

2. What is the current status of the Fukushima cleanup and recovery efforts?

As of 2021, the cleanup and recovery efforts at Fukushima are ongoing. The main focus has been on stabilizing the damaged reactors and removing contaminated debris and water from the site. The government has also implemented measures to contain and treat contaminated water and soil, and plans to build a frozen soil wall to prevent the leakage of radioactive materials.

3. How long will it take to complete the dike and fill the water at Fukushima?

The construction of the dike and filling of water at Fukushima is estimated to take 5-6 years. However, this timeline is subject to change depending on any unforeseen challenges or delays that may arise during the process.

4. What is the proposed solution for the Fukushima disaster?

The proposed solution for the Fukushima disaster includes a combination of containment, cleanup, and recovery efforts. This includes stabilizing the damaged reactors, removing contaminated debris and water, and implementing measures to prevent further leakage of radioactive materials. Additional long-term solutions, such as the decommissioning of the plant, are also being considered.

5. What are the potential long-term effects of the Fukushima disaster?

The long-term effects of the Fukushima disaster are still being studied, but potential consequences may include environmental contamination, health risks for both humans and wildlife, and economic impacts. It is important for ongoing monitoring and remediation efforts to continue to minimize these potential effects and ensure the safety of the surrounding areas.
