oooops . cnic with mr Tanaka was quite scaring, but very informative

And from the breakdown (NISA link by kb at 1246 below) of the nucleides is it possible to tell if they are from a reactor core or a fuel pool (or is there no appreciable difference)?

also, there are no mention of numbers, so... I think the north west of Fukushima should be more on focus for the news. 65 uSv is high.. it's not everywhere, but since days, high doses have been in the same places

Does anyone else find it odd that the Reuter's blog goes silent when containment was confirmed to be breached?

found that on another forum: arstechnica.com the are talking about a possible recriticality in #1

@Indreba, I just went to Reuters and they have a mention that they are offline for a while again.

reuters isn't back on, it just looks that way because the comments now get more recent as you go down.
by sgl 3/26/2011 1:12:12 PM

@Dean and a very prescient prediction of what "could" happen at a BWR in a major power outage, now sadly proved.
by hudebnik 3/26/2011 1:12:49 PM

Does anyone know whether underground hydrogen explosions would appear as earthquakes on seismological reports?
by es 3/26/2011 1:13:14 PM

This may be a really stupid question, but if it were possible to have a giant vacuum that sucked up all the air around a pool or reactor, is there anything you could use as a filter to remove the radioactive particles?
by percy 3/26/2011 1:13:21 PM

I know many things I would be doing if there and, at first I only assumed they were doing. .like the soil sampling or other means to learn more than using just those permanent fixtures to monitor air activity.... and they have to keep instruments calibrated and be careful not to cross contaminate..
by Dean 3/26/2011 1:13:22 PM

for the cnic conference, you can start at 12 mins. For now, it's the best explanation I have found, and by someone who designed a part of it. @Nancy the poor moderator here have allow a lot of message all a sudain, that's why some old comments kust come in . And we can't blame him/her, because it's a huge work, for a benevol . www.ustream.tv
by futureisnow 3/26/2011 1:14:39 PM

nuclear engineers and physicists are scratching their head .. trust me because I am too and my friends.. on trying to explain things mathematically that have gone outside the NORMAL accident analyses.
by Dean 3/26/2011 1:15:49 PM

there is another conference with Mr Tanaka, sorry , the one I have seen live this morning is not the one I just give the link but it is still very informative.
by futureisnow 3/26/2011 1:18:26 PM

in designs we would cover accident analyses and do probability risk assessments to make sure we cover all accident sets in reactors.. then after TMI and CHERNOBYL we had to rethink the whole thing and go off and do another whole set of accident analyses.. called.. BEYOND DESIGN BASIS accidents mainly in areas of things like the 1000 year floor or... other phenomina and let the accident analyses programs run longer to make sure when we think pressure in the vessel remains low.. it really does.. .they we did a whole set of MHA's.. maximum hypothetical accident with PRA..
by Dean 3/26/2011 1:18:53 PM

Question: the reactor pressures in MPa shown at www.nisa.meti.go.jp - are those in pressure above ambient? I ask because many of the readings seem to be less than 1 atmosphere...

@All Morning, Today I will look at setting up additional moderators and possibly a plan upgrade to unlock more features.
by George Gibb 3/26/2011 1:22:40 PM

Has anyone heard of a plan b yet? It sounds like #3 and #1 have melted down and probably are leaking. Can they "sandbag" these plants or at least the ones that are too far gone with the current situation of hot fuel or reaction in what is left of the reactors and with all that water and semi-active fuel in their fuel pools? I really wonder if they have done anything to line up materials and equipment to do something like this yet?
by Nancy 3/26/2011 1:23:44 PM

Thanks George, this is a great and essential resource, especially when Reuters of all people seem to have lost sight of the importance of this event.
by hudebnik 3/26/2011 1:23:49 PM

@hudebnik I think Reuters has to walk a tight rope at times - but they are still an excellent source
by George Gibb 3/26/2011 1:25:00 PM

joshua,, I wish they would put.. NORMAL then where is is now.. and then design.. from what I saw at least the pressures are below design
by Dean 3/26/2011 1:25:05 PM

good point nancy.. I asked that yesterday.. if I were there , more would be done and told to the public and ask for public involvement so they feel like they are part of the solution...
by Dean 3/26/2011 1:25:58 PM

Thanks for this critical service George. All input much appreciated.

and .. showing that the government will come get the people and move them..
by Dean 3/26/2011 1:26:30 PM

@Dean: Could it be that the water came from the pools, or is that out of the question?
by Jeff 3/26/2011 1:26:52 PM

nancy.. some times I used to pull a little trick on things and say.. PLANA.. THEN PLAN B THEN PLANC THEN PLAN-D... knowing all along that plan D was dean HA HA.....
by Dean 3/26/2011 1:27:32 PM

There has been a dearth of news since last 2 days. Is that because some sort of external pressure on news sources or a genuine case?
