Like the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, the six reactors at the Fukushima nuclear power plant are all graphite boiling water reactors of about the same type. Book Friend Upload'

In Shijie, the more mature and safer pressurized water reactor is the mainstream of the nuclear power industry, for example, China's nuclear power plants are basically pressurized water reactors.

Unlike pressurized water reactors (PWRs) that are commonly used in nuclear submarines and nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, which are more compact and have more reliable safety performance, boiling water reactors do not have such a complex multi-loop heat exchange system. To put it bluntly, the boiling water reactor is a huge graphite pyramid with a pile of uranium fuel rods and control rods inserted in it, and the power of the reactor is adjusted by constantly inserting the fuel rods and control rods into it.

Compared to pressurized water reactors (PWRs), which have heavy protection, boiling water reactors are relatively simpler and less expensive, but they are much less safe. What's worse is that the Fukushima nuclear power plant still uses a single-layer circulating boiling water reactor that has long been eliminated on Jishu, which is designed and built in an older age than the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, and the cooling water is actually directly introduced into seawater, which does not seem to take into account the corrosive effect of seawater on pipelines, and there is really not much hope in terms of safety. And when it came time to be deliberately sabotage...... Graphite, which is made entirely of carbon, is the fuel for arson!

So, in front of the stunned Aoki Takashi and First Class Lieutenant, one of the six reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant was suddenly detonated and caught fire, and then the fire expanded dramatically, turning into a raging fireball at an alarming speed!

Next, along with the sky-high flames. It's an overwhelming amount of deadly radiation.

If the previous nuclear radiation was a breeze and ripples, now the nuclear radiation is a hurricane and a tsunami!

The boundless fear grabbed Aoki Takakazu's heart in an instant, making him tremble uncontrollably.

“…… Oh! No! I'm going to die! Be sure to get out now! ”

The electronic system used to measure the intensity of radiation in the car was paralyzed at the moment of the explosion, and Aoki Takakazu felt his skin begin to itch and his life was rapidly lost to the radiation.

- Despite the sturdy and thick body around it. Theoretically it could provide him with a certain level of protection, but in practice it didn't work very well. He could clearly feel that countless horrific rays of radiation were penetrating his body. Kill every cell in your body......

This irresistible fear quickly seeped into his soul and completely disturbed his mind. Leave his mind blank.

“…… Turn! Hurry up and turn around! Get out as fast as you can! Maybe it's not that serious! ”

Aoki Takakazu muttered to himself, while moving his stiff arms with difficulty, manipulating the left and right tracks of the tank to reverse, making a 180-degree U-turn in place, and was about to rush out of the radiation zone in one breath, but there was a reminder from the gunner in his ears.

“…… Aoki Senpai! The few infantrymen hanging on our car all fell down just now! Don't we need to help them? ”

It was only at this time that Aoki Takazu suddenly noticed that the infantry of the three-defense unit wearing the radiation protection suits of the cute version of the dolls seemed to be due to the explosion and rapid U-turn. All of them were shaken off the roof of the car, and they were standing on the beach at the moment, waving desperately to their side.

Do you want to stop the car and wait for them?

No! The intensity of radiation here is too dangerous! Even if you stay for just one second, you will be at an extra risk of dying from acute radiation sickness.

In his mind, he began to replay his life for the past thirty years. From the persimmon tree at home when I was a child, to the sunny baseball field, to the first date on the rooftop of the school building, to the prodigal wreckage at the wedding party, and the daughter who was born before this mission and has not yet decided on a name...... Everything is as clear as if it were right in front of you. …,

But. In the pleasant memories of this scene, he seemed to see himself lying on the hospital bed struggling in pain, his skin festering all over his body, and his appearance as hideous as a demon—this is the typical symptom of an acute radiation sickness patient that Takakazu Aoki had heard of.

Therefore, after a period of battle between heaven and man and heart palpitations, Aoki Takazu quickly made up his mind.

“…… Never mind it! Didn't they have their own special-purpose armored vehicles? At a time like this, everyone can only take care of themselves first! ”

Takakazu Aoki continued to pick up speed, causing the tracks of the Type 10 to kick up a pile of sand and dust, with his back to the burning nuclear power plant, and galloped away......

———————————————————————— Divide - Cut - Thread——————————————————————————

While Aoki Takashi and 1st Class Land Lieutenant of the 6th Division of the Northeast Military Region of the Ground Self-Defense Force, who were on the front line, escaped from the gate of the Fukushima nuclear power plant, Chief Cabinet Secretary Junzaburo Izumita, who was at the Prime Minister's residence in Nagata Town, Tokyo, was also stunned to look at the latest "Ambilight" satellite photo taken on the computer screen.

Pity God, since the end of the Pacific War, what hapless Chief Cabinet Secretary would have endured so many debilitating catastrophes and disasters in a short period of less than a month in office?

But then again, who else but him can sustain the terrible situation in which this edifice is about to collapse?

- In Junzaburo Izumita's view, today's entire Toriyu Cabinet, except for himself, is a group of AKB singer idols who are so amateurs that they can no longer be laymen. These girls may be good at selling cute parkour, but the political thing is ...... It seems that you can only take the lead by yourself.

Although he was originally a member of the opposition party and was promoted by nepotism by former Prime Minister Ebihara Shota, he is also an out-and-out half-ass, not only is his political methods relatively clumsy, but his vision of the current situation is far from being clever - less than 24 hours ago, the former prime minister Ebihara was angry to death because of the tax resistance riots and the defection of cabinet members. The reason why he ended up in such a sad end is, to a certain extent, because of the ineffective assistance of Junzaburo Izumita, the chief cabinet secretary.

However, the ridiculous fate that has always been capricious and unpredictable was just when Junzaburo Izumida thought that he had been ruined and was ready to finish his first shift in Zuihou, and then he would go into the field in a few days. Once again, he was pushed to the cusp of dominating the future of the entire country and nation.

To be honest, Junzaburo Izumida really felt from the beginning that he really couldn't afford to carry this heavy burden.

For example. In the midst of the Fukushima nuclear crisis, the Self-Defense Forces launched a missile bombardment according to Junzaburo Izumita's idea. After the use of force to deterregate, the terrorists who understand their own weight should take advantage of the situation to ask for negotiations, put forward some demands or something, and then there will be an incomparably lengthy confrontation, maneuvering, negotiation and compromise...... Who knew that the other party actually detonated the nuclear power plant without saying a word!

“…… Well, our Self-Defense Forces wasted three full hours to bring me such a result! ”

In the office of the Prime Minister's Residence, Junzaburo Izumida rubbed his temples with a wry smile, and sat back behind his desk in a gloomy manner, "...... Our atomic experts have an opinion on the severity of this incident. What judgments were made? He asked his personal secretary.

“…… The situation was so serious that the explosion directly destroyed the containment vessel and the plant, sending at least several tons of pollutants into the sky! ”…,

The secretary took out his shorthand notebook, bowed his head and replied, "...... According to the actual situation measured by the US military's special drone entering the sky over the nuclear power plant. The radiation levels in the center of the fire site at the nuclear power plant were frighteningly high, far exceeding the maximum reading range of the detectors. The US officers and soldiers at the Yokota base did not dare to let the drone fly back because they were worried that it would be contaminated with radioactive dust during the recovery, but let it crash directly into the sea. ”

“…… Getting to the point! Chief Cabinet Secretary Junzaburo Izumida knocked on the table with a displeased face, "...... Although just looking at the satellite photos, you can see that there is already another Chernobyl over there. But I still want to get a more accurate report. ”

“…… Be. According to the analysis of satellite photographs by relevant experts, as well as the radio contact of front-line self-defense officers, the explosion has completely destroyed the architectural structure of at least one reactor. Moreover, after losing the seal of the containment, a large amount of oxygen flowed into the reactor, giving the uranium fuel and graphite in the reactor an opportunity to burn. Thousands of tons of graphite, which is used as a moderator, became the most firewood, and the blazing heat produced by the fire caused the hot air with nuclear dust to rise rapidly, and also greatly increased the diffusion range of nuclear radiation. ”

The secretary quickly flipped through a few pages of his shorthand notebook and replied, "...... To make matters worse, there are five other graphite reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant that are essentially identical, a nuclear power plant ship with one ton of enriched uranium, and a nuclear waste dump set up by TEPCO in violation of regulations......"

“…… TEPCO has illegally set up a nuclear waste dump in the Fukushima radiation area?! Junzaburo Izumita's voice instantly raised an octave, "...... What the hell is going on?! ”

“…… This one...... Nuclear fuel rods in nuclear power plants have a lifespan, and after several years of continuous use, although the fuel rods still contain a lot of uranium, they must be replaced and scrapped. But the problem is that the process of disposing of these high-radiation nuclear wastes is very, very expensive, and Jishu is not very mature, and even the Americans cannot afford such an expense, so they can only directly pile up part of the nuclear waste in the desert.

Japan's original practice was to collect nuclear waste from all over the country and send it to a treatment plant in Aomori Prefecture for processing and landfilling, where the geological conditions are relatively stable and there is no leakage due to earthquakes, tsunamis, and typhoons. But the problem is that the capacity in Aomori Prefecture is limited, and after decades of continuous use, it is almost full. As a result, TEPCO dumped nuclear waste that had been replaced in recent years directly in the Fukushima nuclear radiation zone – the only place in Japan that is more inhospitable than a desert – a practice that has been going on for years. ”

“…… In other words, these things were tacitly approved by the government, and everything was the fault of the previous prime ministers? ”

As a standard politician, Junzaburo Izumita's first reaction was to shirk responsibility," ...... Weishenme previous governments will be so messy? ”

“…… Although the government can forcibly intervene in accordance with the law to force TEPCO to dispose of nuclear waste with safer and more environmentally friendly measures. However, this huge amount of processing expenses cannot be changed after all. In addition, since the outbreak of the Fukushima nuclear crisis, nuclear power has been replaced with thermal power plants that are seriously losing money in order to pay compensation to the victims and to carry out large-scale overhauls of nuclear power plants nationwide. TEPCO's deficit bills have reached appalling levels, and if they continue to push it, TEPCO is afraid that it will go bankrupt.

The same. The government has been in extreme financial difficulties in recent years, and it will be difficult for TEPCO to take over if it goes bankrupt...... And we can't do without electricity. As a result, successive governments have had no choice but to acquiesce to TEPCO's approach – no one will protest in the Fukushima nuclear radiation zone anyway. ”…,

“…… Well, how much nuclear waste is piled up next to that torch? Junzaburo Izumida felt like he didn't even have the strength to be angry.

“…… A total of 120 tons of uranium fuel were scrapped, in addition to a number of radiation-contaminated parts. The secretary replied as succinctly as he could.

This number made Junzaburo Izumida dizzy for a moment, "...... 120 tons?! It seems that the atomic bomb of Hiroshima only contained 60 kilograms of uranium! ”

“…… This one...... The uranium concentration used in the reactor and the nuclear warhead is completely different from the same order of magnitude, so there is no way to compare it in this way. ”

“…… Of course I know this common sense, but the numbers alone speak for themselves! ”

Faced with the secretary's explanation, Junzaburo Izumida waved his hand weakly, "...... If there is any bad news, let's talk about it together! After such a thrilling few days. I think I'm able to withstand any psychological blows. ”

“…… Yes, after the explosion at the reactor at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, the 6th and 1st Divisions, which were advancing to the Fukushima radiation area, have begun to urgently retreat. The explanation of the Ministry of Defense for this is that according to the current jishu conditions. Even the most advanced protective clothing cannot withstand this level of nuclear radiation. Therefore, the terrorists entrenched in the Fukushima nuclear power plant should have all died of acute radiation sickness by now. In this case, this combat mission should be automatically ended, and the troops should be allowed to return to the camp safely and wait for the next move......"

“…… Escaping from the battle has to be said so literately! I know that these civil servants are unreliable! ”

Junzaburo Izumida couldn't help but roll his eyes. “…… Don't prevaricate with any orders and jihua! If they are really determined to save the country, they should have the pilots wrap their heads in a 'victory' turban, write the blood letter of 'Seven Lives to Serve the Country' on the back of the white shirt inside the flight suit, and then resolutely drink a glass of sake under the eager gaze of the base commander and the instructions of "please", zuihou greeted the Hinomaru flag fluttering in the hunt, accompanied by the cheers of 'Banya' and 'Kudansakami', and drove the Black Hawk and Chinook helicopters to take off towards the rising sun and rush to Fukushima without hesitation! ”

“…… Your Excellency, the scenario you are talking about should be a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor. A wry smile appeared on the secretary's face, "...... Most of the current Self-Defense Force helicopter pilots are young swasty otaku, and after encountering such an unreasonable mission, they will only put on the cutest cosplay costumes, make the most elaborate makeup, and then climb onto the plane and fly to Fukushima with trepidation. ”

“…… Then on the way, he claimed a mechanical failure, found a random barren mountain and made a forced landing, and waited until the crisis was over to return to the team...... I'm right. ”

Junzaburo Izumida shrugged his shoulders helplessly, "...... Young people in Japan today! It's full of otaku and idiots, and the style of the Showa samurai is long gone! By the way, did the U.S. military offer any assistance? What is the attitude of Washington? ”

“…… It's not clear yet...... It is said that more accurate information and assessments are still awaited...... "The secretary replied.

“…… Still have to wait? Now this mess is out of the way! Junzaburo Izumida pounded his fist on the table in annoyance, "...... The Self-Defense Forces are all a bunch of Heisei dead houses! Mi Ying's ghost beast is also unreliable! Who else can Japan rely on? Uh, come to think of it, what did the Metropolitan Police Department say? ”

“…… According to the Metropolitan Police Department, the riots, riots, and fires in the Tokyo metropolitan area have not completely subsided, and since this afternoon, residents in various wards of Tokyo have noticed a sharp increase in environmental radiation intensity, which has triggered a larger-scale panic and flight tide......

At present, the railway, road, and air traffic in the metropolitan area is on the verge of being paralyzed, and many rioters are robbing and setting fires in the streets, and the current police force of the Metropolitan Police Department is not enough to maintain order, and there is really no spare power to support the relief efforts in Fukushima. ”…,

“…… It's been almost 30 hours, and the riots in Tokyo haven't subsided? Junzaburo Izumida felt his brain twitching," ...... That's enough! The Metropolitan Police Department was ordered to immediately end its current tasks and to concentrate the mobile brigade and fire brigade as much as possible and be on standby at any time. After the experts have discussed specific solutions, they will be sent to the Fukushima radiation area to save the country. As for the issue of social order in Tokyo, there is no need to continue to deal with it - if this trend continues, even Tokyo will soon become a wasteland! What kind of security is maintained! ”

“…… Haode, I'll pass it on, but there are some urgent documents from various government departments here. ”

The secretary put away the shorthand notebook, took out a stack of papers from the folder, and continued to report to Junzaburo Izumita, "...... First of all, in response to this unprecedented nuclear disaster, the Ministry of Imperial Household Affairs said that the most urgent task today is to ask the emperor and his family to move to the Kyoto Imperial Palace, so as not to harm the national body! ”

"......" Although there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with what he said, Junzaburo Izumida still feels embarrassed to hear it.

“…… Second, in response to the nuclear crisis, the Ministry of Health and Welfare has raised the radiological safety standards for food, drinking water and the environment by another 500-fold increase, so that most water sources in the eastern part of the country can be restored to drinking standards, and the supply of qualified food will not be scarce......

“…… What's what? After raising the safety standard by 500 times, the radioactive water that originally exceeded the standard by 500 times can be drunk with confidence?! Junzaburo Izumida blinked in surprise, "...... After the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, and Welfare has finished revising history textbooks, will the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Welfare follow suit? ”
