Black Monday: Nuclear Meltdown in Japan

I'm long ES - I believe once the reactors are all stable it will rally back to level before the quake...there you have it on record.

Are you sure that's a good idea? I would encourage you to rethink that.

So you were saying?

Large amounts of radiation leaking directly into the atmosphere. This is going to make it really hard to work on controlling the meltdown.

Quote from Kanzei:

at what temperature does hydrogen separate from oxygen in the water atom? a hydrogen explosion is proof that this temperature or higher was reached.

2000 degrees C.

You are essentially correct, though your temperature is a little high, but good enough for "news" people. As I said you'd make a great addition to the CNN "news" team.

for the record:

Fe(l) + 2 H2O(l) -----> Fe2+(aq) + 2 OH-(aq) + H2(g)

at high temperature.

You speak too soon grasshopper. Be silent and learn from your master (me).

- Reactor#3 at Fukushima is believed to be cracked, which caused the white smoke plume (NOT steam)

- Government considering water air drops from helicopters to cool the reactors.

Question: if the explosion at Reactor#3 building cracked the containment unit, is it not possible the other explosions did the same? Why only now did the Government admit the #3 containment vessel was cracked when the explosion happened 2 days ago? Obvious the PR guys are in damage control mode and suppressing negative information from getting out.

Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano told reporters the assistance of the United State military is now being considered, but that it might be too risky to use helicopters to drop water on the damaged reactors to try to keep cool the radioactive fuel rods.

The top government spokesman says the containment vessel of Reactor Three at the Fukushima nuclear power plant may have cracked. He says it is highly probably that this may be the source of a cloud of white smoke being seen in video images relayed from a helicopter 30 kilometers away from the crippled nuclear facility.

Touche.

When we hit 1300 I'll remind you of this conversation again.

"When" ? If...

SPX breaking support levels, could drop to 1225, could even break 1200....

who knows maybe this is the buying opportunity before 1400....

Oh wait what happened to all the "CASH" on the sidelines, dont the market fools like to talk that conspiracy theory up!!!
