Unfortunately the public cannot rely on Japanese Governmental Agencies or U.S. Governmental Agencies to tell a truthful story about the events regarding the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Disaster. However, there is one lesson the U.S nuclear regulators seem willing to accept, the nuclear disaster was caused by natural disasters resulting in an extended station blackout (power outage). The extended station blackout resulted in a loss of nuclear reactor core and fuel pool cooling. A lack of nuclear fuel cooling resulted in multiple hydrogen explosions, the melting through of the reactor pressure vessel in at least one unit and the possibility of a fuel pool criticality event.
The involvement of the Plutonium Oxide fuel and the detonation within the reactor unit 3 fuel pool is the reason the Nuclear Regulatory Commission Chairman recommended the evacuation of all U.S. Military personnel within a 50 mile radius of the Fukushima Nuclear plant site..
Nuclear fuel pellets were found 2 miles from the Fukushma nuclear plant as a result of the explosion. The Unit 3 reactor and its cooling pool contained Mixed Plutonium Oxide Fuel (MOX).
The expert testimony in the following You Tube videos display the likely hood of a nuclear detonation in Reactor Unit #3 as a result of a hydrogen explosion inducing a nuclear super criticality detonation in the fuel pool.
