@Ralph Unger Ha! :) Good news is that I saw some group file a NOIA request for DOE radiation data in Japan. Someone will file a request soon for US data, just a matter of time.by Jojo 3/28/2011 2:25:18 AM
@Yuri George says he's getting it.by Jim Carver 3/28/2011 2:25:26 AM
@marie rich I'm sorry - what the h*ll does DRY WELL mean when referring to spent fuel pool temperature.by pj 3/28/2011 2:25:32 AM- @pj ? very good point. pls link story.by Ralph Unger 3/28/2011 2:25:41 AM
- plz pardon if this is irrelevant to the convo or if it's been posted before...i'm mostly a lurker ...thank you all... The result of nuclide analysis in the stagnant water on the basement floor of the turbine building of each Unit of
Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Station www.nisa.meti.go.jpby dtinla 3/28/2011 2:25:59 AM - Kyodo News: S Korea detects small amount radioactive xenon. Now they will begin testing every day, previously once a week.by MaryW 3/28/2011 2:26:00 AM
- Oops...somehow sent the same post - sorry! Marie's link from earlier is the one - one pool shows a temp of 67C, the other three are footnoted with a 1 which leads to the term dry well.by pj 3/28/2011 2:26:18 AM
@pj Its the concrete vase shaped thing around thhe reactor vessel. iT'S ANOTHER LAYER OF CONTAINMENTby marie rich 3/28/2011 2:26:23 AM- 8OOOPS* CAP LOCKby marie rich 3/28/2011 2:26:40 AM
- @dtinla Thanksby Jim Carver 3/28/2011 2:26:43 AM
- And has nothing to do with the spent or storage fuel pools.by Ralph Unger 3/28/2011 2:26:58 AM
- Right, but 2, 5 and 6 list temperatures. 1, 3 and 4 say dry well...by pj 3/28/2011 2:27:09 AM
The trees are indeed turning red/brown now.by Dennis Tucker Jr 3/28/2011 2:27:34 AM- @Yuri Don't know but it would be great. It's a shame that we have to do that ourselves.by Jojo 3/28/2011 2:27:45 AM
- @Dennis Tucker Jr Wow, more echoes of Chernobyl.by Jojo 3/28/2011 2:28:13 AM
- The tepco webcam shows absolutely clear picture. As if nothing is happening or has happenedby Optim 3/28/2011 2:28:13 AM
@Dennis, we didn't rule out that could be from the innundation with sea water when the tsunami swept over. Many species of trees also can't stand having their roots drowned even in plain water.by Sky 3/28/2011 2:28:28 AM- www.nisa.meti.go.jp In that document, if you check the line for spent fuel pool water, it lists temperatures for 2, 5 and 6 and says dry well for 1, 3 and 4. This is the WATER they are referencing. Dry well? I sure hope not!by pj 3/28/2011 2:28:49 AM
@Dennis Tucker Jr The trees are on a hill, it is unclear if the tsunami got high enough to affect them.by Bobby1 3/28/2011 2:28:57 AM- @Sky But wouldn't that mean all the trees in the area would have the same discoloration?by Jojo 3/28/2011 2:29:09 AM
- Those trees are a little higher up to be concerned about root drowning imoby Dennis Tucker Jr 3/28/2011 2:29:21 AM
- @Dennis Tucker Jr: Can we get a picture of these color-changing trees??by MaryW 3/28/2011 2:29:24 AM
- These trees are on a hill, I don't see enough change to come to any conclusions yet though,by Ralph Unger 3/28/2011 2:29:31 AM
- Hmmm Jojo you got a point. I should look at the pictures again.by Sky 3/28/2011 2:29:39 AM
- @MaryW sure. tepco webcamby Dennis Tucker Jr 3/28/2011 2:29:42 AM

- In the latest video released by SDF there are trees right besides reactor # 1 which are absolutely green. www3.nhk.or.jpby Optim 3/28/2011 2:30:28 AM
- Thanks?by MaryW 3/28/2011 2:30:42 AM
- @JoJo Agreed. I am having difficulty following all the different readings and where there sources are. We can create an online, shared spreadsheet here: www.google.com Im glad to help if someone could help suss out sources and create a template.by Yuri 3/28/2011 2:30:51 AM
- NHK again starting....Live....by CaraBnr 3/28/2011 2:31:06 AM
- Gathering all the released radiation readings in one place may help us force attention to how poor the info is.by Yuri 3/28/2011 2:31:37 AM
@pj - it says #1, not *1 - look again. They mean no reading available for 1,3,4by FradyKat 3/28/2011 2:31:50 AM
@MaryW www.dasgelbeforum.de.orgby George Gibb 3/28/2011 2:32:07 AM- @Yuri Only source I know right now is: www.tepco.co.jpby Jojo 3/28/2011 2:32:29 AM
- @FradyKat THANK YOU! And yes, I'm yelling. :) I didn't scroll down far enough - sorry!by pj 3/28/2011 2:32:34 AM
- @ JIm Carver Interesting.by CaraBnr 3/28/2011 2:33:13 AM
- “Northern Ukraine is the cleanest part of the nation,” an official of Ukraine’s Academy of Sciences said at the time. “It has only radiation.”
Only radiation. That is small consolation for the evacuees in Japan and the workers, still dousing the reactors with hoses as though fighting a fire that could be put out. From NYTby CaraBnr 3/28/2011 2:33:29 AM - Japan radiation fear sparks South Korea diaper rush. www.reuters.comby Ralph Unger 3/28/2011 2:33:58 AM
- www.nisa.meti.go.jp I found the reading from last night for the I-134 in reactor 2 was 2.9 x 10e9Bq/cm3 . The highest radiation reported so far. THREE orders of magnitude higher than any of the others.by Jim Carver 3/28/2011 2:34:46 AM
- Am I reading this: www.tepco.co.jp right and that all the data is for reactor 2 turbine building? Just assessed and reassesed?by pj 3/28/2011 2:35:14 AM
- @Yuri Even worse, they give numbers in varying values... if your gonna use microseiverts, do it all the time! Don't say 370usv one time and 370msv the next. and, hey, 1000usv is 1sv!by marie rich 3/28/2011 2:35:18 AM
- @marie rich I think 1000uSv is 1mSvby pj 3/28/2011 2:35:58 AM
- 1000 mSv = 1 sievert. 2 can kill you.by Ralph Unger 3/28/2011 2:36:45 AM
- So is TEPCO the only organization publicly releasing regular radiation levels? Are they taken from the same laces each time?by Yuri 3/28/2011 2:36:50 AM
- I remind you that I-134 has a half-life of 53 minutes.by Jim Carver 3/28/2011 2:36:51 AM
