They're building a 10 ft thick wall of ice around the damaged nuke reactors.

"We still need a few layers of safety backups in case it fails,” Marui told AP.

First thing I thought of.
The plan calls for burying refrigeration pipes to a depth of 100 feet, every yard or so, for almost a mile around the radioactive site. Those pipes would freeze the ground to keep water from flowing in or out — and any new water that comes in contact with it would freeze as well, making the wall even stronger. The job is scheduled to take 18 months, but once the barrier is fully in place, 10 feet of ice would seal off Fukushima's contaminated soil.


They're going to need to build another nuclear plant next door just to supply energy to this scheme.

Almost makes sense just to take off and nuke the site from orbit at this point.

Just based on the amount of anime they produce, I'd support that.

Sink Japan. Or just evacuate and officially annex it for Godzilla and super friends.

Hi Japanese lurkers!
