Welcome to Dystopia: Japan's Nuclear Nightmare

With thousands still unaccounted for and approximately ten thousand feared dead by officials, Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano said a partial meltdown at the Fukushiman Dai-ichi nuclear complex is under way. This follows suit after an 8.9 magnitude earthquake hit the northern coast of Japan, now leading to widespread tsunami warnings.

















Nuclear core meltdown chain of events (the first four events have already occurred):

1. Failure of graphite control rods to dampen chain reaction of nuclear pile.

2. Core coolant failure as backup systems fail.

3. Reactor continues to create heat.

4. Emergency venting valve systems unable to release pressure build-up in containment vessel fast enough.

5. Uranium fuel melts metal containment housing as core temperatures soar past 2,200 degrees Fahrenheit.

6. Deadly radiation pours into reactor vessel.

7. Radiation then breaches the reactor vessel.

8. Finally, killing radiation escapes into the the surrounding environment and atmosphere and is swept towards U.S. West Coast.
