The story about the black suits being donated from Florida is now 12 days old. I'm still unhappy that we aren't seeing them in use yet!! www.miamiherald.com

Smoking and trying to type , is a bad combination.

@elainekirk2001 I've been ranting about NHK breaking off these press conf. THANKYOU! I didn't realize this was the pin up there
by marie rich 3/28/2011 7:45:20 AM
Didn't they say the plant has a lot of workers that are contracted? So maybe why the difference in protected clothing.
by MaryW 3/28/2011 7:46:05 AM
@borrrden Those are expensive, very high tech and will only be used in the plant. Prob never actually see them on film.
by marie rich 3/28/2011 7:46:57 AM
@marie rich Hmmm but if they had been wearing that, I don't think they would have had the burns. It says the company donated over 200 of them :-S.
I do not know, but I suspect that the 250 MSv per shift, which means per year is not being applied correctly.
by Ralph Unger 3/28/2011 7:49:29 AM
It's per guy, not the whole team. But with Tepco, who knows.
by marie rich 3/28/2011 7:50:16 AM
oh, they call the years work a shift?
by marie rich 3/28/2011 7:51:05 AM
New CNN report states about reactor number 2: "An electrical pump and a diesel generator became operational Sunday, replacing a more temporary pumping system, to power the system used to cool the nuclear fuel inside the reactor." edition.cnn.com
by borrrden 3/28/2011 7:51:51 AM
Yep I guess.
by Ralph Unger 3/28/2011 7:51:52 AM
Marie , do a search about it.
by Ralph Unger 3/28/2011 7:52:39 AM
AWW Ralph, you must be fond of me to tease me...:)
by marie rich 3/28/2011 7:53:22 AM
nettv.gov-online.go.jp About the press conference, Edano is saying they are checking for plutonium ( no results yet), are not letting people come back into the evacuation zone, presumably because of contamination.
@Jojo did he say would test the water, or just the dirt?
by marie rich 3/28/2011 7:54:53 AM
I got slammed for mentioning it earlier so... I thought i would pass it on .
by Ralph Unger 3/28/2011 7:54:57 AM
And 100 mSv at th plant.
by Ralph Unger 3/28/2011 7:55:29 AM
1000...
by Ralph Unger 3/28/2011 7:55:38 AM
Gosh guys read closely. that's what I said, for Japan. For international, incl. USA it's 500mSv per year
by marie rich 3/28/2011 7:56:05 AM
@Ralph Unger For exposure to the reactor 2 water you mean, not the whole plant.
by borrrden 3/28/2011 7:56:15 AM
zero key is kinda broken from the banking crisis.
by Ralph Unger 3/28/2011 7:56:34 AM
On NHK News flash ticker now: "At the Fukushima nuclear power plant, high radioactive density detected in 3 turbine buildings may further delay work to restore the cooling systems for the overheated fuel rods."
Gets better ever day eh?

I'm talking about Rad doses allowed for workers- not rad rates in plant
by marie rich 3/28/2011 7:57:02 AM
@marie rich He said samples I believe (didn't specifiy).
by Jojo 3/28/2011 7:58:45 AM
250 mSv is the allowed rate, but that is per year, the allowed rate is per hour by Tepco.
by Ralph Unger 3/28/2011 7:58:56 AM
the soil sampling in the fukushima prefecture www.mext.go.jp
by elainekirk 3/28/2011 7:59:34 AM
@Ralph Unger I haven't seen anything to suggest that it was per hour....most sources simply say "limit" without being specific.
by borrrden 3/28/2011 8:00:21 AM
Many of my sources went away. Try to look up even the 250 mSv per year(from 100) upgrade by Tepco
