1000 micro = 1 milli(mSv). 1000 milli = 1 sievert...(Sv)by Optim 3/28/2011 2:36:51 AM
@Marie, correction. micro is u (Greek letter mu) and means 1,000,000. Milli is m and means 1,000. So 1000uSv = 1mSv = .001 Sv, not what you said. OK? Important that we be accurate with our use of units, I think.by Sky 3/28/2011 2:36:52 AM- isn't 1 Sv+1000mSv +100000 uSvby CaraBnr 3/28/2011 2:37:00 AM
I really don't like how willing Edano is to say "yes, we MAY let people back in for limited visits to get their things" - it's like admitting defeat while saving face.by Dennis Tucker Jr 3/28/2011 2:37:02 AM- @pj Yes. They took an assessment and released it. People freaked out so they re-assessed it. And by MAGIC, the numbers got better! Seriously, there is no explanation as to the discrepancy, so I'll just chalk it up to magic or fairies or maybe Santa Claus.by Jojo 3/28/2011 2:37:17 AM
@pj SEEEEE there you go! as my chinese instructors would say it makes you huli hutu!by marie rich 3/28/2011 2:37:31 AM- I get an Aby CaraBnr 3/28/2011 2:37:37 AM
@Sky: I read on allthingsnuclear.org that the design operating pressure is 62Psi. As readings In Japan are read in Mpa the conversion is 0.0089920Mpa.by Lethbridgean 3/28/2011 2:37:41 AM- @CaraBnr is right...by Optim 3/28/2011 2:37:44 AM
- Yes you do :-) Cara.by Ralph Unger 3/28/2011 2:38:02 AM
- @Lethbridgean thank you. i've tried to find that out, no successby marie rich 3/28/2011 2:38:24 AM
@marie rich I noticed that obfuscation tactic on the BP disaster too. Mix it up. Keep it muddled.by RadioGuy 3/28/2011 2:38:45 AM
@CaraBnr I think the last number was off by an order of magnitude, wasn't it? 1 Sv=1000mSv 1,000,000 uSvby pj 3/28/2011 2:39:23 AM
@CaraBnr You get an A-, 1,000,000 microsieverts not 100,000 :) You missed a zero.by borrrden 3/28/2011 2:39:23 AM- good word Obsuficationby CaraBnr 3/28/2011 2:39:31 AM
- @Lethbridgean uh, i forgot to ask you, is that for reactor vessel, or where?by marie rich 3/28/2011 2:39:45 AM

People mentioned doing our own spreadsheet to track readings and stats. Not a bad idea. Greenpeace may already be doing that. Does anyone have a contact with them?by Nancy 3/28/2011 2:40:01 AM

- NHK Edano says water in contact with temporarily melted fuel.by CaraBnr 3/28/2011 2:41:10 AM

- But ask the expertsby CaraBnr 3/28/2011 2:41:17 AM
- @kgriff Looks like a very tranquil place to visit; do they have any Bed and Breakfasts in the area? /sarcasmby Jojo 3/28/2011 2:41:18 AM

- The BP comparisons, they were caught using a recorded loop on their "live" underwater camera. An online group noticed it and someone pointed it out to the media. So some of the things people are claiming are not that far fetched.by Nancy 3/28/2011 2:41:38 AM
- How is this still in the hands of TEPCO?by Jojo 3/28/2011 2:41:40 AM
- @Jojo Technically it is TEPCO and the SDF....right?by borrrden 3/28/2011 2:42:17 AM
- Like doctors, we protect our own.by Ralph Unger 3/28/2011 2:42:20 AM
- @Jojo: Biggest tragedy of all. People whose gross mismanagement resulted in this are now in charge of fixing this. What the heck is IAEA doing? Why isn't Japan govt taking more active role? Questions galore...by Optim 3/28/2011 2:43:28 AM
Becasue they have the fukushima 50+, they have the minions to walk in thereby Pat 3/28/2011 2:43:33 AM- @CaraBnr You quoted :NHK Edano says water in contact with temporarily melted fuel. But I wonder if it might be more accurate to say water temporarily in contact with melted fuel. (Joking, but only a little).by pj 3/28/2011 2:43:36 AM
- @borrrden I'm not sure how involved the SDF is. It seems that is beyond the ability of whomever is handling this now.by Jojo 3/28/2011 2:43:50 AM
- Don't know If Im not able to multi task well. Double checkby CaraBnr 3/28/2011 2:44:42 AM
- @Jojo I'm not sure it isn't beyond the ability of the best minds in the world at this point. And I'm not entirely joking hereby pj 3/28/2011 2:44:42 AM
- AMA and EPA and IAEA are all people in the business regulating people in the business.by Ralph Unger 3/28/2011 2:44:53 AM
- If I was the nuclear industry I would lobby the UN RIGHT NOW to get involved to handle this. The longer this drags on , the more radiation,ending up destroying the entire industry (if it hasn't already).by Jojo 3/28/2011 2:45:07 AM
@pj The clowns in charge of this are not exactly the best minds on the planet.by Bobby1 3/28/2011 2:45:55 AM- @pj I have heard that from a few people. That seriously is like a punch to the gut, because that means inevitably...what? Full core meltdown, explosion of nuclear material, ???by Jojo 3/28/2011 2:46:01 AM
- @Nancy I don't think it's off base at all to compare our preparedness for disasters that "can't happen" at all. We have two glaring failures a year apart.by RadioGuy 3/28/2011 2:46:24 AM
- @jojo..Nuclear industry exactly does not want it. Remember..during Oil spill all oil companies supported BP. They even submitted a petition saying that oil drilling is very safe. If Un gets involved they will dig deep and find out all the dirt. This might have wider repercussionsby Optim 3/28/2011 2:46:37 AM
- @marie rich @Ralph Unger: Yes, I screwed up my longhand Math, 62Psi=0.427Mpaby Lethbridgean 3/28/2011 2:46:52 AM
