@elainekirk Wow. I can't believe NHK was that honest and critical.by Nancy 4/21/2011 11:38:26 PM- Oak Ridge National Laboratory Director Thom Mason said this week that the lab's classified activities are not affected by the cyber attack that prompted a shutdown of Internet access and limitations on email activities.
"We don't keep classified information on computers that are connected to the Internet," Mason said in a telephone interview.

Access fine location sources such as the Global Positioning System on the device, where available. Malicious applications can use this to determine where you are, and may consume additional battery power.

Radioactive water likely to hamper cooling effort
The operator of the Fukushima nuclear power facility plans to cool the reactors by filling their vessels with water. However, that process may be hampered by wastewater contaminated with highly radioactive materials.
According Tokyo Electric Power Company's blueprint for bringing the troubled facility under control, the Number 1 and 3 reactor vessels will be filled with water up to the height of the nuclear fuel rods by the middle of July. This is aimed at cooling the reactors in a stable manner.
TEPCO says that the water level has begun rising in the Number 1 reactor. It says water injected to cool the reactor vaporizes out of the reactor and then turns into water after being cooled inside the container.
However, if the container has been damaged, then highly radioactive water may seep out.
The utility needs to check the reactor turbine building for any water leakage from the building housing the reactor, but workers cannot enter the reactor building at present. However, the effort to identify the source of a leak is difficult because of radioactive water inside the basement of the turbine building.
Work to move contaminated water from the Number 2 reactor is already underway. However, it's not clear when they can begin moving contaminated water from the Number 1 reactor.
TEPCO says the vessels containing the reactors are strong enough even if they are filled with water. However, the Nuclear Safety and Industry Agency believes that it is necessary to confirm whether the container is resistant to powerful earthquakes.
After the March 11th tsunami knocked out the plant's backup power generators, water was injected to cool the reactors and spent fuel rod pools. As a result, the presence of radioactive water is hampering efforts to restore the reactors' cooling systems.

Japan seals off no-go zone around nuclear plant ap.stripes.com
"With the deadline approaching for the area to be sealed off, evacuees ventured into the evacuation zone, some in white protective suits and others in face masks and rain gear they hoped would protect against radiation. Most raced through the zone with car windows closed, their vehicles stuffed with clothing and valuables."by Reed 4/22/2011 12:13:43 AM- Radioactive level up at reactor water intake
The operator of the troubled Fukushima nuclear power plant says it has detected higher levels of radioactive material in sea water samples near the water intake of one of the reactors. The Nuclear Safety and Industry Agency says, however, there are no traces of highly radioactive water leaking into the sea from the plant. The Tokyo Electric Power Company says it detected 1,600 becquerels of radioactive iodine-131 per cubic centimeter in samples of sea water collected near the water intake for the Number 2 reactor on Wednesday morning. The figure is 4,000 times the national limit and higher than the level detected on Tuesday. It's the same site where water contaminated with highly radioactive material was found to have been leaking into the sea on April 2nd. The leakage was fixed 4 days later. TEPCO says it also detected radioactive cesium-134 at 2,300 times the limit and cesium-137 at 1,600 times the limit on Wednesday morning. These levels are also higher than those detected on Tuesday. The Nuclear Safe and Industry Agency explains that sea water containing highly dense radioactive material is piling up due to a special fence set up in the area to keep the leakage of the contaminated water from the Number 2 reactor water intake. It says it sees no new leakage of highly radioactive water.
TEPCO says the levels of radioactive material are on the decline at the 4 monitoring points off the coast of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.
The highest level in the latest checkup for cesium-134 is 5.3 times the national limit at a point about 10 kilometers south of the plant.

The 9 major providers on Thursday began blocking access to such websites based on a list compiled by the Internet Content Safety Association.
The association says the list contains more than 100 sites and is expected to grow.
The group is calling for more Internet providers to join the system, as the current 9 have a combined domestic share of about 60 percent.

- Edano: breast milk to be checked for radiation
Japan's government is to check breast milk samples for radiation. Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano announced the measure on Thursday, but said radiation leaked from the damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant has had no impact on breastfed infants.
Edano told reporters that although radioactive substances were reportedly detected in some samples, the levels were far below safety limits.
He said there is no need for excessive worry, and that the government instructed the health ministry to carry out the checks to alleviate concerns among breastfeeding mothers.

Tepco: lousy liars lying alot. "Ground water seeping in" to reactors 5 &6? So they ALWAYS had a flooded basement? And I guess the 'ground water goes under the south side of the Admin. bldg. and just happens to pop up on the north side? There are fissures in the substrata. Oh, and lets see, the silt fence at (only) #2 reactor intake is SO GOOD that the levels are increasing in one day- even tho it's been in place since the 7Apr.. The other silt fences and steel plates are defective, I guess. Not that the silica in the gravel maybe cracked and it's leaking (somewhere) again due to the tremors!! I just pray to God that they don't really believe what they're putting out or this comedy of errors will turn black, indeed.by marie rich 4/22/2011 12:41:40 AM- @marie the webcamby elainekirk 4/22/2011 12:42:25 AM

mdn.mainichi.jp
"A 30-year-old worker with a subcontractor engaged in restoration work at the nuclear power plant said he had been told by an official of a primary contractor that "the radiation you are exposed to this time will not be shown on your radiation exposure record book." He said he had also been told: "Even if you are exposed to 250 millisieverts, if you are to work at the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant, the 250 millisieverts will be exempted."
