Ground under Fukushima Unit 4 sinking, structure on verge of complete collapse


(NaturalNews) Though the mainstream media has long since abandoned the
issue, the precarious situation at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power
facility in Japan is only continuing to worsen, according to a prominent
Japanese official. During a recent interview, Mitsuhei Murata, the
former Japanese Ambassador to both Switzerland and Senegal, explained
that the ground beneath the plant's Unit 4 is gradually sinking, and
that the entire structure is very likely on the verge of complete
collapse.

This is highly concerning, as Unit 4 currently holds
more than 1,500 spent nuclear fuel rods, and a collective 37 million
curies of deadly radiation that, if released, could make much of the
world completely uninhabitable. As some Natural News readers will
recall, Unit 4 contains the infamous elevated cooling pool that was
severely damaged following the catastrophic earthquake and tsunami that
struck on March 11, 2011.

According to the Secretary of former
Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan, the ground beneath Unit 4 has already
sunk by about 31.5 inches since the disaster, and this sinking has
taken place unevenly. If the ground continues to sink, which it is
expected to, or if another earthquake of even as low as a magnitude six
occurs in the region, the entire structure could collapse, which would
fully drain the cooling pool and cause a catastrophic meltdown.

"If
Unit 4 collapses, the worse case scenario will be a meltdown, and a
resultant fire in the atmosphere. That will be the most unprecedented
crisis that man has ever experienced. Nobody will be able to approach
the plants ... as all will have melted down and caused a big fire," said
Murata during the interview. "Many scientists say if Unit 4 collapses,
not only will Japan lie in ruin, but the entire world will also face
serious damages."

Because there are 31 nuclear units of a similar
type to Unit 4 in the U.S., the American government has been
downplaying the disaster to protect its own reputation, alleges Murata.
This is, in fact, the primary reason why so little has been reported on
the severity of Fukushima
following the disaster. The American empire, in other words, does not
want the world, nor the American people, to know that there is the
possibility of literally dozens of Fukushima situations occurring on
American soil, should the right disaster situations arise.
