  • @radioguy Isn't is called climate change now? In the 70s it was global cooling..

  • I know. I use the old term as an act of defiance. ;)

  • @vasras I look at it, thanks for the links. it didn't learn me anything, except that it's not mox fuel, and that they didn't put the spent fuel on the right place on the pictures.

  • @Jim Carver, Yes and astrophysicist Piers Corbyn www.weatheraction.com has shown that solar activity helps to initiate earthquakes. In fact, a CME hit the earth just before the Japanese quake. The charged particles in these solar ejections interacts with the Earth's magnetic field which in turn can lead to seismic events.

  • @radioguy The old term was "Weather" :-)

  • I'm still trying to catch up with what you-all wrote overnight. This NISA document presents the current data about each reactor 1-6 in a graphical format that is more digestible. Take a look.

  • I lived in Boulder in the shadow of NCAR for decades. I've talked climate modeling since the mid 70s with those guys. I call it what it is.
    by radioguy 3/26/2011 5:49:34 PM

  • @NHK Listener Current models predict a cooling trend as fresh water melting disrupts hypo-saline ocean currents.

  • Why is it we can observe global climatic changes on distant planets but still fail to realize the same thing applies to our own planet?
    by Dennis Tucker Jr 3/26/2011 5:50:10 PM

  • @George, It might not be the end of the world. Me and some other clinically insane are stockpiling storable foods and other endurables. If they can keep the nuclear plants from killing us we might have chance.

  • The HAARP site showed a high level of geomagnetic activity prior to and following the quake. maestro.haarp.alaska.edu

  • I meant global climatic cycling : to clarify
    by Dennis Tucker Jr 3/26/2011 5:50:38 PM

  • @tippyjoe: I am aware of that discussions, but don't really want to think of that. But especially when anyone still tells us our reactors are safe - no matter where in the world, this issue is a thing I don't want to think of. Our ractors seem to have 2 hours time until the need eternal power. If not - there are 17, ok, now down to 10 permanent candles. And even if we get rid of ours let's say within 10 years, we will enjoy the rest (french/britain) candles as a result of the next atlantic low pressure weather rains....

    Fortunately: this won't be discussed widely via internet... anymore
    It would be simply: game over.
    Besides that: Everything still safe here, until...

  • I think even the possibility of a sea level rise happening in the next century makes us ask the question: Will our entombment design for this plant survive being under water for 240,000 years.
    by radioguy 3/26/2011 5:51:35 PM

  • @ radioguy: My opinion is simple: NO
    by Max 3/26/2011 5:52:14 PM

  • @radioguy: if the plan is under sea water, there's nothing that can be done: sea would corode the entombment; it would take a few years before the radiation starts spreading

  • # Jim CArver And that's supposed to be good news???
    by radioguy 3/26/2011 5:52:33 PM

  • So then what's the alternative?
    by radioguy 3/26/2011 5:53:57 PM

  • @radioguy [sad opinion]unfortunatly, shareholders just think to tomorrow benefits, and they rules. and it's the same everywhere : every government, except Germany, have said it would not stop anything. In India, there is a real dangerous Plant. but the same is in USA, Russia, France, etc...
    by Future Isnow 3/26/2011 5:54:01 PM

  • @tippytoe I have never broadened my view of energy to see that correllation before (as far as space, matter and energy are concerned). Thank you!
    by Dennis Tucker Jr 3/26/2011 5:54:18 PM

  • @radioguy I would take tropics over an ice age. But humans are a very resilient species.
    by Jim Carver 3/26/2011 5:54:20 PM

  • Cool it, take it apart and decommission it was the thinking.
    by radioguy 3/26/2011 5:54:20 PM

  • But how?
    by radioguy 3/26/2011 5:54:27 PM

  • hy all . this is the same dean ... back from errands
    by Dean 3/26/2011 5:54:52 PM

  • @ radioguy & Jo: It makes me feel extremely good to see that france is planning reactors in the sea, and russia is even building one.
    by Max 3/26/2011 5:54:54 PM

  • @Jim Carver Inventive, not resilient. We don't have a long enough hisroty to be called resilient in that kind of time frame.
    by radioguy 3/26/2011 5:55:17 PM

  • Hey same Dean
    by radioguy 3/26/2011 5:55:42 PM

  • You guys might be interested in this movie www.intoeternitythemovie.com about what it means to store something for 100s of thousands of years... "nothing built by man has lasted even a 10th of that timeframe"

  • Hi Dean, we're philosiphisizing, or whatever.
    by Jim Carver 3/26/2011 5:55:55 PM

  • @Dean wb Dean you missed conspiracy hour lol
    by George Gibb 3/26/2011 5:55:59 PM

  • @Dean The question is, what kind of decommissioning/entombment will survive a sea level rise that covers it?
    by radioguy 3/26/2011 5:56:37 PM

  • @Jo Lindien Not true. You could continue to dump solids on it to protect it from the sea. It's the future seismic activity that would be the concern there.
    by Dennis Tucker Jr 3/26/2011 5:56:41 PM

  • Oh. Is it over George? lol
    by Janis 3/26/2011 5:56:49 PM

  • @jay77 I liked that one and the attempt to warn future generations
    by George Gibb 3/26/2011 5:57:26 PM

  • @Janis Never is everyday a new one lol
    by George Gibb 3/26/2011 5:57:54 PM

  • @Jim in the absence of news, what else can we do? :)
    by radioguy 3/26/2011 5:58:02 PM

  • we know that radioactive stuff leak when under sea water: France used to store nuclear waste dropping it in the English channel. We have evidences that they leak now, even if the containers were supposed to last for 500 years...
    by Jo Lindien 3/26/2011 5:58:20 PM

  • conspiracy hour? jim I'll join in on the philosiphisizing
    by Dean 3/26/2011 5:58:22 PM

  • Hello everyone. Dean, thanks so much for your partipation. Please ignore this post if it's already been discussed. I was wondering about the impact of several days' worth of corrosive seawater on the 40-year-old reactors. Thanks.
    by Christine 3/26/2011 5:59:15 PM

  • Too bad I gotta go. Be back.
    by Jim Carver 3/26/2011 5:59:21 PM

  • geeeeeze.. radio.. let me see here....
