@JoJo Wells? I wonder how they will "cover" the HUGE reservoirs the must have for Tokyo and other big cities.by Salvador 3/28/2011 8:41:27 AM- @borrrden You start with a Bq and exposure type. Then you plug it in to the coeffcieint table above (2.2, 2.3, etc.). From here you get a mortality or morbidity rate per second of exposure.by Jojo 3/28/2011 8:42:13 AM
- To back track and use Sv, just look at the fatality rate and calc Sv by using 1 Sv = .05 fatalities.by Jojo 3/28/2011 8:43:13 AM
this came from yokosonews but I cant find anything to verify it TEPCO: At 3:30pm, the high radioactive water was found outside 1~3 Reactor Bldg - inside of trench tunnelby elainekirk 3/28/2011 8:43:13 AM- @Salvador THis is freakin' ridiculous if it not for so many infants that will be drinking this water.by Jojo 3/28/2011 8:44:17 AM
was checking my mail before bed and looked at kyodo BREAKING NEWS: Radiation above 1,000 millisieverts found outside No. 2 reactor: TEPCOby marie rich 3/28/2011 8:46:40 AM- @JoJo I wonder why they give this order NOW. What do they know that we don't? Change of wind direction?by Salvador 3/28/2011 8:46:47 AM
- NOW I AM REALLY GOING TO BED. bye byeby marie rich 3/28/2011 8:47:22 AM
@Salvador They probably are looking back on the high levels from before and thinking about what can be done to prevent them again.by borrrden 3/28/2011 8:47:26 AM- @marie rich Wow, those are really high. Outside the reactor??? Good night...by Jojo 3/28/2011 8:48:04 AM
- @JoJo The turbine housing is outside of reactor building #2... Just saying. Remember, this is TEPCO giving "information".by Salvador 3/28/2011 8:50:07 AM
- sorry deleted in error iwakamiyasumi.com president of tepcoby elainekirk 3/28/2011 8:50:21 AM
- www.ustream.tv That link might start a trend of all female news reporters wearing French maid outfits. Guys, you with me?by Jojo 3/28/2011 8:53:29 AM
- But IF this is true and an atmospheric measurement, than every work at and around #2 must be stopped ASAP.by Salvador 3/28/2011 8:53:45 AM
- @jojo sorry did I give wrong link was spose be president of tepcoby elainekirk 3/28/2011 8:55:10 AM
I now simplify all readings to low, medium and high. Dont see the point in getting too obsessed with the actual values, most of them are probably wrong. Irresspective of any smoke and mirrors from TEPCO the information goes through too many hands before it gets onto the news websites.by Treiagonaut 3/28/2011 8:55:15 AM- @Salvador Yes, that's no good. Because > 1000 mSv might be 10,000 mSv! Lots of numbers are greater than 1000. Even at 1000 mSv, each worker would get their annual dose in just 15 minutes.by Jojo 3/28/2011 8:55:15 AM
- Well, I like the NHK world anchorwomen more. But that's personal taste.by Salvador 3/28/2011 8:55:54 AM
- @Treiagonaut 1000 mSv / hour would be considered high. As Salvador states, I really really really hope this isn't the case or they will be able to work around it.by Jojo 3/28/2011 8:56:15 AM
- @elainekirk2001 Not a problem, really :)by Jojo 3/28/2011 8:56:24 AM
- @Jojo - I would be calling that high tooby Treiagonaut 3/28/2011 8:56:48 AM
- Wow I hope TEPCO messed up with the calculations again. 1000 mSv / hour OUTSIDE the reactor, not good. It's daytime over there now, hopefully the numbers will go down. If they stop work on the reactor....by Jojo 3/28/2011 8:58:27 AM
- I don't see that information in any official sources. Is there a link?by Pedro Jesus 3/28/2011 8:59:19 AM
- BREAKING NEWS: Radiation above 1,000 millisieverts found outside No. 2 reactor: TEPCO english.kyodonews.jp Look under "Latest news", no direct link or more info as of yet.by Salvador 3/28/2011 9:00:28 AM
- TEPCO's website has no confirmation of that yet.by Pedro Jesus 3/28/2011 9:02:45 AM
- Reuters Reuters Top News
FLASH: Nuclear operator Tokyo electric says radiation outside no.2 reactor was measured on Sundayby elainekirk 3/28/2011 9:04:44 AM - @Pedro Jesus So what? Kyodo is an official source as far as this situation goes. They won't invent things like this just for shits and giggles.by Salvador 3/28/2011 9:05:05 AM
- @Salvador Kyodo has made more mistakes than TEPCO so far. But I was not referring to that. Kyodo news quoted TEPCO as the source so I'm waiting for a confirmation. There has been a lot of misinformation going around.by Pedro Jesus 3/28/2011 9:08:39 AM
- @Pedro Jesus ir enough. I really hope that Kyodo is wrong, but we will know soon enoughby Jojo 3/28/2011 9:09:42 AM
- @you Should be "fair enough".by Jojo 3/28/2011 9:10:25 AM
- english.kyodonews.jp URGENT: High-level radiation detected in trench outside Fukushima reactor buildingby Jojo 3/28/2011 9:12:49 AM
- "High levels of radiation exceeding 1,000 millisieverts per hour were found in water in a trench outside the No. 2 reactor's turbine building at the troubled nuclear power plant in Fukushima on Sunday afternoon, Tokyo Electric Power Co. said Monday." english.kyodonews.jp What kind of "trench" could this be?by Salvador 3/28/2011 9:15:43 AM
- @Salvador Don't know. THe previous high levels was in the basement of the turbine? of reactor 2. This is outside the building, so I'm guessing that people would be affected that got close to the building.by Jojo 3/28/2011 9:17:18 AM
- Hey, I haven't posted since the Reuters site ended but I thought I'd add this information from Yokosonews - at last Tepco conference it was reported that radioactive water was found inside a trench tunnel. He says between reactor 1~3 and I'm not sure what that means. The high level of >1,000 millisieverts was found yesterday at 3:45 and not reported until 5 pm today. Here is the link: twitter.comby Watching 3/28/2011 9:19:45 AM
- @dean @all do you know of any good sites that are working on "constructability or damage assesment" on the plant now that some ariel shot and data are comming out.. would like to find site analying proablities of "next move" with what may be left of systems????by fitter 3/28/2011 9:22:52 AM
@watching-hi i saw that too-what about the comment the water may have come from the Tsunami!by fiona 3/28/2011 9:23:21 AM- At least it's not atmospheric radiation. The question how it could leak into that "trench" is a very important one, because the trench must have a higher level than the turbine buildings basement.by Salvador 3/28/2011 9:25:59 AM
- @fiona Anything in English?by Jojo 3/28/2011 9:27:22 AM
- @salvador why do you say the trench elevation must be higher than the tubine bld?by fitter 3/28/2011 9:27:55 AM
- @Salvador This might be a different source of water from the basement water, or maybe this trench water is from the reactor core like the basement water.by Jojo 3/28/2011 9:29:20 AM
- Maybe this new finding can hint at where all the unusual radiation levels since day one have been originated from. And also the ocean contamination.by Pedro Jesus 3/28/2011 9:29:47 AM
- @jojo -looking not found anything yetby fiona 3/28/2011 9:30:11 AM
- How does this trench contamination affect work on reactor 2?by Jojo 3/28/2011 9:30:39 AM
- @fitter Maybe I missunderstodd the use of the word basement, but I thought this meant it was actually under the ground level.by Salvador 3/28/2011 9:32:13 AM
- @Jojo I read no information about that yet but, according to Kyodo News, the trenches were exposed when they cleared some rubble. Very little information still. I'm also waiting for IAEA's daily report. I'm surprised it hasn't been published yet.by Pedro Jesus 3/28/2011 9:33:26 AM
