@Ralph Unger We're all so used to hearing filtered news we're pretty good at seeing through a lot of the filters. When you perceive the bias, at least you can filter it.by radioguy 4/14/2011 7:38:46 AM
World right to slam nuke program mismanagement: expert "Japan deserves international scorn for mismanaging its nuclear power program and unless the government acts quickly the odds of further catastrophes remain high, a leading seismologist said Wednesday." search.japantimes.co.jpby Ralph Unger 4/14/2011 7:39:02 AM
english.kyodonews.jp 1st fish haul landed at Shiogama port since quake-tsunami
Tuna are landed at Shiogama port in Miyagi Prefecture on April 14, 2011. Hundreds of tuna were landed at the port, one of the biggest fishing bases in northeastern Japan, for the first time since the March 11 devastating earthquake and tsunami in northeastern and eastern Japan. (Kyodo)by NHK Listener via English.kyodonews.jp 4/14/2011 7:39:46 AM- The difficult task of removing highly radioactive water at the crisis-hit Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant continued Thursday, with the level of polluted water in the plant's underground trench found to be edging up again that morning after some 660 tons were pumped out. english.kyodonews.jpby Ralph Unger 4/14/2011 7:41:55 AM
- @Rob in SF FYI are you aware of this: www.tampabay.comby KT39 4/14/2011 7:43:21 AM
@NHK Listener Test the tuna!by Rob in SF 4/14/2011 7:45:29 AM- Old news but this is why they upgraded the level of the disaster. "Radiation surges above 4's fuel pool" they have not got control. search.japantimes.co.jpby Ralph Unger 4/14/2011 7:47:03 AM
- @Rob in SF I have no doubt they will test it.by NHK Listener 4/14/2011 7:47:18 AM
- @KT39 No, was not up on the Crystal River NPP. Any plant that isn't currently running isn't likely to start-up in the near future, IMHO.by Rob in SF 4/14/2011 7:47:50 AM
- @Ralph Unger notice the article says 4 in the title but fails to mention 4 in the articleby NHK Listener 4/14/2011 7:47:57 AM
- @NHK Yepper. Nuclear disaster's impact. "The explosions, fires and radiation leaks at the Fukushima plant not only involve over-heating in some of the reactor cores. Most of the radioactive material at the site is uranium fuel that has been "burned" in reactors, then removed and put in temporary storage ponds to cool." search.japantimes.co.jpby Ralph Unger 4/14/2011 7:49:14 AM
@ Ralph Unger - Arnie Gundersen has been pretty well on the money since the beginning, and many of his predictions have been accurate. his latest video is interesting about information control/reduction and the role of things like this discussion board www.fairewinds.comby hudebnik 4/14/2011 7:51:16 AM- He has an agenda, I have e-mailed him and I agree with almost everything he says. But I am not in the field. For the other side, check out... www.hiroshimasyndrome.comby Ralph Unger 4/14/2011 7:53:32 AM
- I have also e-mailed them telling them I thought they were a bit away from the truth.by Ralph Unger 4/14/2011 7:54:58 AM
- I am leaning to Gunderson as of this date.by Ralph Unger 4/14/2011 7:55:41 AM
- Me too - www.hiroshimasyndrome.com could be written by TEPCO, it is so positive!!by hudebnik 4/14/2011 7:57:47 AM
- The guy has a good point, don't be an alarmist, it causes much harm. But I think radiation does cause harm so...by Ralph Unger 4/14/2011 7:58:53 AM
- In the US I must agree that little harm will come of this disaster. if I lived in Japan, I would be worried.by Ralph Unger 4/14/2011 8:00:40 AM
- The guy who writes that has about the same credentials as the guy from Fairwinds. www.hiroshimasyndrome.comby Ralph Unger 4/14/2011 8:03:21 AM
- I still lean to the ex-worker who gains nothing from telling what he thinks. History tells about the BWR's. www.google.comby Ralph Unger 4/14/2011 8:07:29 AM
- Well he (Hiroshima) seems to think that reactors 2 & 3 are approaching cold shutdown, and all spent fuel pools are full (Apr 13 update).by hudebnik 4/14/2011 8:08:54 AM
- Long story short. Why are all the data given in Bq/m3 or Bq/cm2 or Bq/cm3 or Bq/L? I am not confused because I am stupid. I am being intentionally confused.by Ralph Unger 4/14/2011 8:14:11 AM
- IIRC 1700 Bq per m3 is the same as 1 bq per kg.by Ralph Unger 4/14/2011 8:16:40 AM
- 2000 bq per kg is a "safe limit". 500 is the real number for bq/kg.by Ralph Unger 4/14/2011 8:19:29 AM
@ bobby1 - can you repost - it seens to have disappearedby UKVal 4/14/2011 8:20:23 AM
@Bobby1 What do you mean? Under normal circumstances the EPA would like to keep air radiation exposure to under 1 mSv per year.by borrrden 4/14/2011 8:20:24 AM
@Rob in SF: the photo is from chernobyl not tmi right?by ifz 4/14/2011 8:20:29 AM- Or it was until the produce showed higher numbers.by Ralph Unger 4/14/2011 8:20:30 AM

- At the moment, the biggest threat to our squad is probably hay fever. Perhaps it was that hay fever season had not entered its height on the Japan Sea side [west coast], but after coming here [north-east coast] everybody is plagued with runny noses and sneezing. - globalvoicesonline.orgby Cup 4/14/2011 8:20:32 AM
- @ms in la - "I never ever had allergies before but the symptoms are kind of like an allergy" - reminds me of very early report by SDF first responder near Fukushima plant who was so amazed that he and his colleagues were suffering hay fever so early in the season. That made me wonder if radiation/radio-active particles could cause allergies. Something to look into more closely I would say.by Cup 4/14/2011 8:20:34 AM
- what's happened to bobby's post of a minute ago?by UKVal 4/14/2011 8:20:36 AM
- Radiation poisoning is a weakness in the antibodies. Would that manifest as an allergy? I dunno.by Ralph Unger 4/14/2011 8:24:16 AM

- Take out water, OK , bit don't add water, It might add to the water. Don't let the water level get higher, but don't let the storage fuel ponds get dry.by Ralph Unger 4/14/2011 8:28:09 AM
@NHK Listener: hi, saw your 09:24 pic. Does this mean the zero water level is 108" below zero, then about 2.75 meters ? If so, this is a good new as it means all 3 reactors have fuel covered with waper...by Jo Lindien 4/14/2011 8:28:14 AM- @elainekirk Not sure about japan electionsby NHK Listener 4/14/2011 8:28:27 AM
