@all. Some of the best seaweed varieties to specifically detox from radiation includes: kombu, wakame, kelp family(sodium alginate). Brown sea vegetables such as hijiki, arame and dulls bind excess strontium and iron. Red sea vegetabless such as dulce are most effective at binding plutonium. Green algae bind cesium most effectively. " besides binding with several radioactive isotopes, sodium Alginate attracts, bonds with, andhelps remove many of the metallic environmental pollutants including lead, cadmium, barium, strontium, excess iron, plutonium and cesium. After attracting and reacting with these pollutants, sodium alginate transforms them into harmless salts for safe elimination from the body."! Ingestion of small amounts but regular doses of alginate is effective in preventing the absorption of small doses of radioactive strontium and other radioactive contaminants in the environment. ( from the book Fighting Radiation & Chemical Pollutants with Food , Herbs & Vitamins by Steven R. Schecter, N.D. Brown seaweed, especially laminar japonica, was particularly used by the Russians after chernobl because it can cross the blood brain barrier. There are lots of suppliers here's a link on the west coast and more about alginol etc.Tepco re-evaluation of

sounds good jim. I'm loading a pdf for trial now .. then I need to go eat.. be back later
by dean 4/20/2011 10:59:33 PM

@northern cal I have copied it over
by elainekirk 4/20/2011 11:01:03 PM

@dean It'll hook of with my computer network and it'll back that up too. It's a really good system, all the fancy business types are using it:) oh K see ya later

@Tenzing "TEPCO was caught by the US government lying on SQ in 1988, at the Shoreham plant in New York. Correcting the SQ problem at Shoreham would have cost a cool billion, so engineers were told to change the tests from ‘failed’ to ‘passed.’" Oh boy. It is going to take forever to dig up all the bodies on this one...

@jim sounds very good somebody spent ages teaching me about clouds last year - I hear

@ rob just a mo I think i have list

I'm looking at the revaluations Diedre posted the link to. One reval is Cl38, for a specific location and date.
by Scilla 4/20/2011 11:07:03 PM

@scilla it is pinned at the top above you the translate link
by elainekirk 4/20/2011 11:12:07 PM

@elainekirk Elaine, what is that google app that you can use to find similar images?
by Nancy 4/20/2011 11:13:33 PM

So the revaluations are no big deal? I didn't know what to think.
by Scilla 4/20/2011 11:13:44 PM

OH I will look nancy

This is strange. I can't find any reactor stats press release for 4.15 using the Georgian govt. english versions. It skips the 15th...
by Nancy 4/20/2011 11:17:06 PM

I don't know how to find the reactor stats on METI, the links above are just to the daily PDF and I can't figure out their naming system..
by Nancy 4/20/2011 11:18:18 PM

@Nancy Go next door.
by JMV 4/20/2011 11:19:31 PM

I think I found the area on METI. Will do JMV

has anyone seen a report that they have been inside reactor builds #5&6???
by fitter 4/20/2011 11:22:51 PM

+10 years ago.
by Jim Carver 4/20/2011 11:23:11 PM

@fitter Other than the test run with the robot in 5 the other day, not that I remember.
by Nancy 4/20/2011 11:24:31 PM

@Nancy have they stated why or issued a "damage assement" report????

Consumption tax hike may fund recovery / 3 years at 8% would cover bulk of costs
The government is considering raising the consumption tax rate from the current 5 percent to 8 percent to finance earthquake reconstruction programs, according to government sources.

@jim and there was an ariva batch in '01 nd another batch by ship in '09 form france?
by elainekirk 4/20/2011 11:27:19 PM

@fitter on 5 & 6?

@nancty did you find stats? reactor

@Rob in SF I wonder if the doctor checked them for exposure to radiation, or was that outside of his examination responsibility?
by James Ward 4/20/2011 11:41:17 PM

Can someone with more experience on following the reactor stats look at something for me and give me a clue if it means anything? There seems to not be data newer than the 15th? But between the 13th and 15th the bottom temp went from 183 to -116. This is the morning before the explosion the reporter heard. Any idea what that temp reading means?
by Nancy 4/20/2011 11:43:24 PM

@nancy sorry i was trying to find a report i read early this moring... have they been giving info on 5&6... they said the water was rising in the turbine buildings from 5&6 and there was another article about the repairs to the cooling systems to 4, 5&6... has anybody heard anything
by fitter 4/20/2011 11:46:14 PM

@Nancy The only thing I can think of is a release of some fluid (liquid or gas). I don't know how else to lose that much heat so quickly. So something had to be injected.

Citing safety concerns, Prime Minister Naoto Kan suggested freezing projects to build more than a dozen nuclear reactors by 2030, but he did not offer details on how to do it. www.asahi.com

have a press. at that time, i.e. delta P?
by Jim Carver 4/20/2011 11:48:38 PM

I am lost on them I will copy @Jo's assessment over
the water flow...
[Edit]2 is still a mess, not really under control: heating up again, water boiling in the RPV and the drywell, high radioactivity level everywhere; parameters still suggest the same conclusion: torus breached, free running fission in the drywell and fuel leaking out via the torus with
Another good thing: #1 drywell temperature is also nearly reaching the water boiling point (3 °C to go...).
[Edit]
by Jocelyn Mayer at 12:15 PM
#1 has good news too: 1 degree to the (low) water boiling temperature !
Another good new: the drywell temperature seem directly correlated to the RPV bottom temperature, seems always ~ 4°C above for the last 3 days; it seems them cooling down at the same speed as the RPV, which can mean there is now heat source in the drywell itself, then no active fuel there. The 4°C offset could then be explained by the drywell water thermal inertia.
note- about #1... my bad english... I meant (underlining the faulty parts):
"it seems _then_ cooling at the same speed as the RPV, which can mean there is _no_ heat source in the drywell itself"
Sorry...
by Jocelyn Mayer at 12:11 PM
#3: forgot: the 2 last torus CAMS reading show radioactivity is low there; seems like Tepco still have problems with units conversions: 10^1 is not the same as 10^-1 !
The last readings are consistent: torus radiation level nearly .5 Sv/h for the 2 CAMS sensors
by Jocelyn Mayer at 12:05 PM
Daily reactor data (from METI) are surprising; my reactor of the day: #3 !
#3: RPV pressure and temperatures are dropping; might reach cold shutdown state (ie temperature below 100 °C, atmospheric pressure) tomorrow or the next day. Unfortunately, the drywell is far from cold shutdown: atmospheric pressure, high temperature: likely to be breached, nuclear fission free running there.

@fitter They do put a report for 5 and 6 in the "daily" reports. Let me see if I can find one in English. Do you want a specific day or just any one to see what they are putting in?
by Nancy 4/20/2011 11:51:24 PM

TEPCO says the toxic water level in a tunnel near the turbine building was 2 centimeters lower as of 6 PM on Wednesday. But it says because there was no change in the water level in the basement of the turbine building, the leaking of toxic water into the basement appears to be continuing. www3.nhk.or.jp

@Nancy Have got more than 100 videos downloaded from "Fukushima ' @ Youtube. By tomorrow I should have every thing ;-) Then I will do some copies and pass to some friends ....
by Majjham Zazen 4/20/2011 11:53:22 PM

@fitter Go to this pdf and look at pages 5 & 6 this has the type of reactor data they put out for 5 & 6 japan.mfa.gov.ge
by Nancy 4/20/2011 11:55:02 PM

@Nancy i was just surprised to hear the water was building in the basments and that they have appered to have lost one of there cooling systems to the SPF
