Engineers from the Tokyo Electric Power company (Tepco) entered the No.1 reactor at the end of last week for the first time and saw the top five feet or so of the core's 13ft-long fuel rods had been exposed to the air and melted down. Previously, Tepco believed that the core of the reactor was submerged in enough water to keep it stable and that only 55 per cent of the core had been damaged. Now the company is worried that the molten pool of radioactive fuel may have burned a hole through the bottom of the containment vessel, causing water to leak. "We will have to revise our plans," said Junichi Matsumoto, a spokesman for Tepco. "We cannot deny the possibility that a hole in the pressure vessel caused water to leak". Tepco has not clarified what other barriers there are to stop radioactive fuel leaking if the steel containment vessel has been breached. Greenpeace said the situation could escalate rapidly if "the lava melts through the vessel".

Yeah... AND?
AND? We forget how ignorant you are, Eric and probably you don't know enough about physics and other such advanced concepts. It's what living in a trailer park does to a mind. The formaldehyde fumes from the trailer insulation I wager.
I am a qualified reactor operator, on two separate reactor designs. What's YOUR qualifications? Oh, that's right, you don't HAVE any... you know NOTHING about nuke reactors, and what it really means, when they say the core had a meltdown. For those of us who DO know and understand, the ultimate ramifications are... minor. Now STFU, you empty-headed twit.
You mean like Homer Simpson? By the way, if you realy are a qualified reactor operator that means you work for an industry that is linked to the govt. You in fact, are a socialist parasite by your own standards.
False logic. Typical.
That doesn't mean much unless you were a SRO. (senior reactor operator)
Capitalist Eric just outed himself, like most of the tea party cranks, he actually draws a salary from a govt linked institution. If he works for the nuclear power industry, then he works for directly or indirectly a govt owned or financed or underwritten entity. What a filthy hypocrite eric is.
I served in the military. I got out a long time ago. So what? Your attempts to twist this into something to be used as a weapon against me... are amusing. Utterly useless, but still amusing. What next, gonna' call me "doo-doo head," or something? (((smirk)))
Living off my tax dollars you socialist pig....
Typical stereotype of the limited govt conservative railing against socialism to be employed by the govt.
Clearly, you're not the sharpest tool in the shed. But hey! You're still a tool.
But your a socialist employed tool.

You have no idea what you're talking about. Of course, you display all the signs of membership within the collectivist fringe, as detailed HERE. It particularly nails your ass to the wall, with Their world view has been entirely scripted for them, and rarely is an original thought ever uttered from their lips. Anyone who presents a view outside of the mainstream script is automatically and viciously attacked. A very common collectivist reaction to any opposing view is to use Ad hominem tactics to disparage the person presenting the view, instead of confronting their view directly. The 60 Minute segment above is simply one long Ad hominem attack linking anyone who promotes Constitutionalist ideals or anti-establishment arguments with killers, racists, and terrorists (The father of one of the police officers slain by the Kane’s claims that if his son had know they were “Sovereign Citizens”, he would still be alive today; insinuating that ANYONE who makes sovereignty arguments should be considered armed and dangerous by police, and treated as guilty before proven innocent). Collectivists use these kinds of tactics for the most part because they do not have the mental capacity to defend their twisted ideals with any vigor, and would surely lose a fair debate on neutral ground. Is it possible for you to actually use logic and reason in a conversation, or are you just terminally stuck on stupid?

Replies to Comment # 18. See themselves as “intellectual”, or rather, far more ingenious than the majority of people. This would be fine if they actually were intelligent, but in fact, this is rarely the case. Average collectivists tend to be undereducated, slow witted, and easily manipulated, but because they have conformed to the establishment social model so thoroughly, they still find themselves climbing the ladder of “success” (success in today’s typical business environment usually includes backstabbing and/or shameless butt kissing). This gives them severe delusions of grandeur. It is common to hear them rant about overpopulation, and the need to “weed out the inferiors”, of which they obviously do not include themselves, but should.
