Nah, we all love you Ralph. I sure felt that way about some of the moderators on reuters. I wondered if I was Banned

@Patrick Well, I guess we know what they are doing with the basement water, despite official reports. It's unfortunate that fish can't read.

TY Marie, most of my posts to Reuters are passed. I think of that is an endorsement. I try to not go off the wall.
by Ralph Unger 3/28/2011 5:18:54 AM

@Marie Same here. My relevant comments complete with links were often consigned to the hinterlands. I was convinced a couple Reuters mods had it in foe me

www.lbl.gov I thought this may be handy... hi every one .. I woke up from my rest and thought I'd stop in .... RALPH.. I really like when you are on by the way... HE HE ..

Dr Gale says there were no genetic abnormalities from chernobyl! There were at least three posts on reuters from people who said there were kids in school with no arms, etc.

@Marie: Don't feel bad. Tony didn't like me... :-( Honestly, I read him the riot act. There were so many people from Japan on that thread looking for info at the time too. He would come on shift and the feed would grind to a halt. I didn't care if he didn't okay my posts, but I felt bad for the people who relied on the source. I understand that it could be perceived as grunt work. Hey, I wouldn't want to filter through all the stuff either.

and today .. the tepco webcam looks so normal ....

@Dean LTNS! Where is that decay chart you posted a few days ago? I've been hunting high and low. @Ralph Busted!
by Bev 3/28/2011 5:22:06 AM

For decay chart, try periodictable.com If you click an element then click on isotopes and click on a specific isotope, it draws a very pretty picture of the relevant data!

The sky is blue. Under moderation and not gonna be posted.

@Dean we were all wondering at the significance of Cl138 Help me, Ralph, was that the number?

@Sky That's what I was searching for with regard to the Cl38, thank you!

@Ralph: Just another beautiful day at TEPCO Fukushima.

my mind is not woke up yet.. whewwwwwww.... let me pinch myself

@dean Hey Dean, does this make sense to you ?

Earlier today somebody quoted from arstechnica forum (sp.?) and said that isotope of chlorine is a "demon element" or something. They listed all the decays and radioactivity of each, and said it was awful. I had no context for what was said, however, so can't independently check it.
by Sky 3/28/2011 5:27:25 AM

Even the person who posted it said.. ?m Way out of linene.
by Ralph Unger 3/28/2011 5:29:07 AM

@Lethbridgean I think, this is a graphical display of Sewerts ?
by VeenOui 3/28/2011 5:31:37 AM

I'm researching... I haven't run into radioactive chlorine at least in my world... I'll get something
by dean 3/28/2011 5:31:49 AM

Have some work to do before turning in. G/night all!
by Karen Warren 3/28/2011 5:32:59 AM

I searched hard and found some very technical papers on chlorine isotope. couldn't make any connections.
by marie rich 3/28/2011 5:32:59 AM

@Sky known fear-mongers.Not that they are wrong but consider the source.
by Ralph Unger 3/28/2011 5:33:08 AM

@Karen Warren Good night Karen. Hey, this is work lol
by marie rich 3/28/2011 5:33:38 AM

Does anyone have a good source for info on radiation dosage and fractionation? All I can find is references to radiotherapy. I want to understand how fractionated dosages influence risk for nuclear workers and the public.
by Alaskan 3/28/2011 5:33:44 AM

For example, engineers are interested in knowing how seawater damages metals. This information is important in determining the best techniques to use in building ships. An experiment can be done by adding pieces of metal to seawater that contains radioactive chlorine-36. The sodium chloride in the seawater is changed slightly so that it contains radioactive chlorine instead of normal chlorine. As the sodium chloride attacks the metal, its actions can be followed easily. The radioactive chlorine, chlorine-36, gives off radiation. That radiation can be detected by holding an instrument near the experiment. A scientist can find out exactly what happens when the sodium chloride attacks the metal.

I'm going to bed, its snowing outside here in Canada, and now I just read about Radiation Rain in Boston and now I will have dreams of nuclear winter, just great..Lol.
by Lethbridgean 3/28/2011 5:34:04 AM

Where did you guys see that there was Cl in the "puddle" water? Or was this somewhere else? I haven't seen that element.
by Jojo 3/28/2011 5:34:11 AM

www.ead.anl.gov there is another link for chlorine

Here is the original document about the water found in each reactor: www.meti.go.jp
by Jojo 3/28/2011 5:37:05 AM

in the reactor I'm associated with the chloring within the make up water (low pressure demineralized water) is kept at a very stringent level to prevent concentrations that can cause chloride stress corrosion
