Fukushima Entombment Impossible

The carbon reactor at Chernobyl caught fire as the uranium rods melted down, creating a molten lava flow. At Fukushima, however, the quake damage and loss of water from inside the reactors caused many fuel rods to shatter. Broken pieces of uranium fell to the bottom of the reactor cores and melted through their shrouds into the containment chambers.

The chemical evidence of slaked lime (calcium hydrate) in the air indicates the rod fragments then seared past the containment shields and burned through the reactor buildings' concrete footing.The continuous release of iodine-131 for more than 4 months in both air and sea water samples also indicates nonstop nuclear fission. Due to the intense heat underground, any concrete poured below the reactors will probably be unable to harden uniformly.

Therefore the current strategy being considered by Tepco engineers is to pump polymer resin under the reactors to prevent the inflow of sea water and ground water. Unfortunately a watertight seal is practically impossible to achieve since the rod fragments will melt though this bubble as well.

The one possible solution to this apocalyptic scenario is the stuff that propelled Ronald Reagan into nationwide fame as host of GE Family Theater: borax. The alkali salt used in laundry powder consists of about 15 percent boron-10, the neutron-absorbing mineral used in control rods inside nuclear reactors. Boron intercepts neutrons, thereby reducing the number of fission events and thus cooling the loose uranium.

Borax dissolves in water, meaning it can be poured into the water seeping underground through turbine rooms and the maze of broken pipes. Around the hot spots, the mineral salt will turn solid, trapping and separating uranium particles. The crystalized borax will fill the steam-created gaps in the soil, strengthening the overall weight-bearing structure. The hard angular crystals can also resist seismic movement, reducing the problem of liquefaction.

NOTE: The Russians used boron carbide during the Chernobyl nuclear power plant meltdown. It is routinely used at nuclear power plants to reduce pipe corrosion and as a safety element because it will absorb extra radiation."

The protons and the neutrons do not change under any conditions in the boron molecule. Boron can take radiation and release it without upsetting this very delicate balance. We've been taking Boron 2 x daily since March 14, 2011
