  • @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.

  • @ifz cool pic thanx

  • 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.
    by Jojo 3/28/2011 7:53:37 AM

  • Wikipedia states that it is an annual limit: en.wikipedia.org
    by borrrden 3/28/2011 7:54:37 AM

  • @marie rich It's 250 mSv per year.
    by Jojo 3/28/2011 7:54:46 AM

  • @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

  • 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
