International nuclear experts have pointed out Japan in 2008 to massive security holes of its power plants - that emerges from a US-Dispatch, published by the WikiLeaks. The reactors were no match for strong earthquakes, it says. Perhaps the Japanese government were glaring security risks of its power plants years before the dramatic sinking of the Fukushima-Reaktn known. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) warned Japan in December 2008 of possible problems with the seismic safety of its nuclear power plants.
This emerges from a study published by the unveiling platform WikiLeaks US-Telegram, the Daily World Buzz is present. The British newspaper "Daily Telegraph" reported on Tuesday on the controversial contents of the telegram. The unnamed representative of the IAEA claims, therefore the meeting of the G8 Nuclear Safety and Security Group (NSSG) of 3 to 4 December 2008 in Tokyo pointed to massive security holes.
In paragraph six of the paper says, nuclear experts have expressed concerns that the plants were not grown strong quake. The security arrangements in the more than 50 nuclear power plants in the country were inadequate. The expert, in his opinion from a "serious problem". Accordingly, the guidelines for the protection of Japanese nuclear reactors from earthquakes in the past 35 years were only checked three times.
Earthquakes in the recent past have shown that in some cases, the basic design of the equipment was not suited to withstand stronger earthquakes, says the paper. According to the telegram Japan have responded to the instructions of the controller with the establishment of a nuclear emergency response center.
The power stations themselves were only prepared for earthquakes of magnitude 7. The earthquake last Friday, which could now lead to a nuclear disaster, had the force 9 Afraid of the cloud, the contents of the U.S. dispatch raises the question of the extent of possible nuclear meltdown at the coast of Japan - is the extent of which is not always clear - could have been prevented.
