The scale of the Fukashima nuclear disaster was officially raised to a level 7, on par with Chernobyl.
How will they end this disaster? I know that a massive steel and concrete structure, or "sarcophagus" was erected over the shattered reactor at Chernobyl, costing the lives of many extremely courageous workers. Will similar structures be built over Fukashima units 1-4? What will the Japanese government do to finally put an end to this calamity? I saw they should flood the reactor buildings with concrete, then build enormous lead, steel, and concrete dome-like containment structures over the destroyed Fukashima reactors.
TEPCO should understand that it is far too late to salvage anything useful from the reactors. The reactors have already been destroyed, and their cores are probably giant piles of glowing, white-hot uranium lava sitting at the floors of the reactor buildings, probably burning their way into the water bed. The Fukashima Daiichi NPP can never be used again and will probably be left permanently abandoned like Chernobyl. The towns and cities surrounding the general area of the plant will also have to be left permanently abandoned.
I hope this teaches a lesson to the nuclear energy industry in Japan, and elsewhere, not to construct nuclear power plants on coastal areas which are vulnerable to earthquakes and tidal waves. Do you think nuclear power plants the world over be modified or upgraded to make sure that something like this can never happen again?
