Fukushima plant operators have begun removing spent nuclear fuel from the damaged #4 reactor which is causing dire warnings from experts about the possibility of a “sustained nuclear reaction,” and even an uncontrolled nuclear conflagration causing a large scale evacuation of Tokyo.<\/span><\/div>\n

Via ENENews from AFP<\/a>:<\/span><\/h3>\n

Each rod contains uranium and a small amount of plutonium. If they are exposed to the air […] they would start to heat up, a process that, left unchecked, could lead to a self-sustaining nuclear reaction \u2014 known as \u201ccriticality\u201d. […] Sceptics say with so many unknowables in an operation that has never been attempted under these conditions, there is potential for a catastrophe. Government modelling in the immediate aftermath of the Fukushima disaster […] suggested that an uncontrolled nuclear conflagration at Fukushima could start a chain reaction in other nearby nuclear plants. That worst-case scenario said a huge evacuation area could encompass a large part of greater Tokyo […]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

These possibilities are so concerning because of the damage already sustained to the units making it unlikely that all the units can be removed in one piece.<\/span><\/h3>\n

This also comes just days after Dr. Shigeru Mita called for an evacuation of Japan due the the high levels of radiation, as shown in the Alex Jones Channel\u00a0video below.<\/span><\/h3>\n
