  • @Nancy : something is wrong with the heat images. the turbine and surround buildings have different heat signatures in every picture.

  • @all This broadcast/show on wdr (western german broadcast) is called "Monitor" and in Germany it is known as a very trustable and good investigated format. Quite often it has brouhgt some hot news which I think always appears to be trough.

  • @all But perhaps right now they (WDR, Monitor) are talking about the areva report which is already published and pinned at the fukushimafaq.wikispaces.com

  • Whoever is doing formatting/cleanup on the fukushimafaq page -- nice job!
    by markfm 4/12/2011 1:24:46 PM

  • @edano they seem to change the color scale frequently. I started keeping the history of temps chart on the right when I save images. Makes it easier to understand.
    by Nancy 4/12/2011 1:24:59 PM

  • @edano 4 images, each of a different reactor - the number of the reactor off to the right

  • @Nancy translation would be great but i don't know how to do it, is markm or madrat who was working on the pic also.... i have a thought that needs check with math and scale
    by fitter 4/12/2011 1:36:32 PM

  • @elainekirk : this map is really scary. in chernobyl they evacuated every region above 2 ms/h ...
    by edano 4/12/2011 1:36:51 PM

  • Speaking of translation, this article has a lot of numbers about the recent Strontium release: www.asahi.com
    by borrrden 4/12/2011 1:37:46 PM

  • @fitter : scale manipulated ? that is my suspicion.
    by edano 4/12/2011 1:38:12 PM

  • Soil contamination: max 32 bq / kq strontium 90 260 Bq / kg strontium 89, vegetation max 5.9 Bq / kg
    by borrrden 4/12/2011 1:38:37 PM

  • @vasra Thanks...appreciate it.
    by James Ward 4/12/2011 1:39:50 PM

  • Is there conversion formula for bq / kg -> nanogram for a specific element?
    by ifz 4/12/2011 1:41:05 PM

  • @edano - Those are microsieverts. I wasn't aware the Russians evacuated at that level.
    by Hank Scorpio 4/12/2011 1:41:29 PM

  • @Nancy there are several heat image pic that show three dots around a center that does not appear to have a heat signiture.... i think if someone could take the inside diamiter of the containment vessel and the outside diamitor of the reator core.... those three dots are likely to be either the seal at the reactor leaking and stopping at the inside wall of the containment vessel or the containment vesselt seal -- stopping at the concrete wall that the vessel is surrended by (not sure this would be true but, very likely the three dots are a seal or three nozzles that are leaking.....
    by fitter 4/12/2011 1:42:10 PM

  • @Hank Scorpio : yes, sorry, i just noticed it. always the same problem ...
    by edano 4/12/2011 1:42:21 PM

  • @ifz Bq per nanogram? Just divide by the appropriate power of ten from Bq per kilogram
    by borrrden 4/12/2011 1:42:25 PM

  • Some interesting Blog/Twitter of a Voice of America correspondent who currently is around Fukushima especially in the evacuation zone tvtokyo.com Today he published an article about people going back to the "hot zone" www.voanews.com I could not follow the scribble the whole day so I hope I´m not repeating known things.
    by andrea 4/12/2011 1:43:17 PM

  • @Hank Scorpio : yes indeed. of course they had less inhabitants to move.
    by edano 4/12/2011 1:43:50 PM

  • @nancy @all does anyone know what the "Dryer Seperator Pool" is located oppisate side of spent fuel, doesn't show and gates... but does show a "liner" ??????
    by fitter 4/12/2011 1:44:26 PM

  • @edano - 2 uSv/hr is 8 mSv/year. It's certainly a higher than nominal dose but lower than US standards for a nuclear plant employee.
    by Hank Scorpio 4/12/2011 1:45:16 PM

  • Sorry, that should be 9 mSv/year.
    by Hank Scorpio 4/12/2011 1:45:47 PM

  • @Hank Scorpio : plant worker, of course. but not normal population.
    by edano 4/12/2011 1:46:39 PM

  • @Hank Scorpio Should schoolchildren be allowed the same dose as nuclear plant employees?
    by Bobby1 4/12/2011 1:46:48 PM

  • @borrrden: I thought you meant 32 bq from strontium90 per kg soil?
    by ifz 4/12/2011 1:47:33 PM

  • @Bobby1 - They should get more. Helps 'em grow. ;)
    by Hank Scorpio 4/12/2011 1:47:34 PM

  • if they found strontium, they will have leukaemia.
    by edano 4/12/2011 1:47:53 PM

  • @ifz Yes, that is what I meant.
    by borrrden 4/12/2011 1:48:13 PM

  • @Hank Scorpio : grow or glow ?
    by edano 4/12/2011 1:48:16 PM

  • @borrrden: how much strontium90 would that be per kg soil?
