@Maureen Burke I thought the same about the nervous breakdown.by RadioGuy 3/28/2011 12:10:10 AM
@elise I'm much closer to the OC plant than Indian Point, but being in between them (and close to the PA ones as well) never made me too comfortable. I think the OC plant is due to be shutdown sometime soon? Wish I could say the same for Indian Pt...by NervousinNJ 3/28/2011 12:10:19 AM
@Jeff kit for what jeff?by George Gibb 3/28/2011 12:11:07 AM
@Jim Carver Yes, looking at ALL the areas, the steam comes out plus the debris and damage , along with inaccesible areas.....this is beyond me of a task :-(by VeenOui 3/28/2011 12:11:18 AM
@George Gibb - Gozirra, of course.by Hank Scorpio 3/28/2011 12:11:40 AM

- Time to bed now (2am here). Thanks to all of us. Will come backby Jo Lindien 3/28/2011 12:12:54 AM
@George, methings @Jeff was referring to a previous post of his, where "friend of mine who works for Wackenhut at Turkey Point. 2 days ago they sent out a Emergency Response Kit to Japan."by alblee 3/28/2011 12:13:29 AM- US ARMED FORCES deployment statistics for Japan
www.pacom.milby VeenOui 3/28/2011 12:13:42 AM - Looks like usgs downgraded the last quake to 6.1by Ralph Unger 3/28/2011 12:14:22 AM
@Jo Lindien rest well.by Tenzing 3/28/2011 12:14:24 AM- @Ralph @Jojo Someone mentioned seeing that thew workers exposed at R2 were in the water 40 minutes. That kind of exposure would indicate higher than 1 Sv/hr, wouldn't it?by RadioGuy 3/28/2011 12:14:35 AM
- @Radioguy, Yes I would think so. But that was water contact, not just air. I have no idea how much that effect the dose.by Ralph Unger 3/28/2011 12:16:05 AM
- @Ralph Unger And we have no idea how long they were actually in the exposure range, thinking the dose lower, before they began work.by RadioGuy 3/28/2011 12:17:29 AM
- 2 - 6 Sievert was what the clinic report as the apparent total dose below the ankles.by Markfm 3/28/2011 12:18:04 AM
@Ralph Unger Think the biggest thing is getting beta burns.by Jim Carver 3/28/2011 12:18:48 AM- @Markfm Right. In 40 minutes?by RadioGuy 3/28/2011 12:19:01 AM
- Difference, I meanby Jim Carver 3/28/2011 12:19:38 AM
- I thought 40 was mentioned.by Markfm 3/28/2011 12:19:43 AM
- if the level is 2.452 mSv at the plant gates, how high could it be at the plant itself? Even outside? it think that is about 1/3rd of a mile away from the plant. atmc.jpby Ralph Unger 3/28/2011 12:20:23 AM

- @George_Gibb, just a quick-and-dirty thought for mulling: might it be possible and/or a desired thing for the Scribble application to time stamp each published post using, say, gmt/utc instead of the browser's local time? That way, there'd be a more coherent time reference at least with regard to posting time and everybody would be seeing a common post timestamp. Thanks.by alblee 3/28/2011 12:21:41 AM
- @alblee ditto hereby Jim Carver 3/28/2011 12:22:20 AM
@Ralph Unger I think it is 1kmby NHK Listener 3/28/2011 12:22:21 AM- @Hank Scorpio Wow. That is really high, talking 8 Sv is 100% fatality rate. en.wikipedia.orgby Jojo 3/28/2011 12:23:06 AM
- @jojo that was based on the retracted data though.by Sims 3/28/2011 12:24:32 AM
- @Jojo Yeah, one Doctor said that when you get that high, more is better. Less suffering.by Jim Carver 3/28/2011 12:24:35 AM
- @Sims - No, that was based upon the new data.by Hank Scorpio 3/28/2011 12:24:50 AM
- I think it is about 2 mSv for 50% mortality without treatment. IIRC.by Ralph Unger 3/28/2011 12:25:08 AM
- Sieverts I mean, sorry.by Ralph Unger 3/28/2011 12:25:26 AM
- @Ralph Unger Yesby Jim Carver 3/28/2011 12:25:57 AM
- See, the media are all reporting it as "1,000 mSv/hour" while all the TEPCO/NISA releases refer to it as "greater than 1,000 mSv/hour." A very important distinction which TEPCO has not seen fit to remedy.by Hank Scorpio 3/28/2011 12:26:02 AM
- @Ralph Unger I thought that was to the chest area for dosage..by NHK Listener 3/28/2011 12:26:03 AM
- Wouldn't it be worth closely following up the progress/condition of the hospitalized workers for valuable medical insights relative to the prevailing health risk in and around the plants? Is there a way to track this? Thanks.by alblee 3/28/2011 12:26:41 AM
- @Hank Scorpio Look at the Tepco document, it says > 1000 mSv / hr. It could be 10 Sv/ hour, or 1.1.by Jojo 3/28/2011 12:26:43 AM
- @Jojo - Exactly. Their equipment on-site maxed out at 1Sv.by Hank Scorpio 3/28/2011 12:27:11 AM
- @Ralph Unger Not that low. The LD50 is between 3.5 and 4.0 Sv. LD50 means the dose that will be lethal to 50% of those exposed. This assumes exposure in a short time, hours to days.by Jim 3/28/2011 12:27:23 AM
- The 30Sv/hour was deduced using the contaminant information of the water.by Hank Scorpio 3/28/2011 12:27:39 AM
- @NHK Listener It's their way of presenting the values. Check out my post a lil while back.by Jim Carver 3/28/2011 12:28:04 AM
- It was 40Sv/hour with the old data that included I-134.by Hank Scorpio 3/28/2011 12:28:07 AM
