What Are The Rules For The Game Frustration

Why I worry about the article by Dr. Josef Oehme

On day 12, the Dr Josef Oehme wrote an article entitled " Why I am not worried about Japan's nuclear reactors " Arthur Quirantes has translated .

This article aims to ease off the alarmist views of many media. However to me has the opposite effect.

I am not an expert and I have only general knowledge about the operation of a nuclear plant. But enough to know that part of what Josef Oehme assertion is incorrect or at least incomplete.

Operators began to release steam from time to time to control the pressure. The temperature at this point was about 550 º C.

The problem is that high temperatures had already reached the core, water molecules can be "separated" into oxygen and hydrogen ... an explosive mixture.

What he forgets to say is that the thermal decomposition of water occurs at 550 º C, but must be greater than the 3000 º C and as stated in your article the only fuel rods resist 2200 ° C. That

form hydrogen and oxygen involves two things very serious.

• That there is fuel rods has surpassed the 3,000 ° C were found at castings.
• That the operators of the nuclear focus unaware of this fact and believed that the core was at 550 º C until there was an explosion.

Undoubtedly, Josef Oehme knew perfectly well that question and yet has missed in his article to give a more soothing tone.
