- (San Francisco) -- The Japanese military has deployed
two Type 74 Main Battle Tanks to the destroyed Fukushima Daiichi GE nuclear
reactors. The 80,000 lb, or 36,363 kg, Type 74 Tanks are equipped with
bull dozer blades and can be equipped with Nuclear, Biological and Chemical
Warfare Protective kits.
-
- The 720 HP tanks are expected to clear away rubble from
the destroyed reactors; including thousands of tons of burning, highly
radioactive old reactor cores stored on site. Internationally known Physicist
Dr Paolo Scampa has calculated that 70 Billion Lethal Doses of radioactive
particles have been released from the Fukushima Daiichi six reactor site.
That is enough lethal radiation to kill everyone on Planet Earth 10 times
over.
-
- Dr Michio Kaku, a world famous physicist has recommended
that the Japanese military implement the "Chernobyl Option" to
entomb the four out of control reactors in Boron and Concrete. The Boron
kills the Neutron life blood of the reactor cores.

- According to the Daily Yomiuri, the GSDF is sending two
Type 74 main battle tanks to the Fukushima Daiichi reactor to help clean
up rubble and debris from the earthquake, tsunami, and explosions at the
reactor site. The rubble and debris are hampering emergency efforts to
repair the reactors. The GSDF is using tanks instead of bulldozers because
the thick steel hull of the Type 74 is effective at blocking some radiation
from the crew. The tanks also have NBC air filtration systems.
-
- The article says that the tanks will be sent from Camp
Komakado, which according to Wikipedia is the headquarters of the 1st Tank
Battalion, as well as the 1st Armored Training Unit. Other sources on the
Internet indicate that one Type 74 per tank company is equipped with a
dozer blade, in which case the 1st Tank Battalion probably has three such
tanks on hand.
