  • @Nancy Looks like my Texas fire-smoke dispersion speculation is kinda on the money. Not much dispersion.

  • @Markfm From the story you posted:
    "The total amount of radioactive material discharged from the plant from March 11 to early April was estimated between 370,000 and 630,000 terabecquerels, according to government sources." www.yomiuri.co.jp
    We're talking up to 630 PBq here - so far! If Chernobyl released 1800 PBq, we're talking about nearly 1/3 Chernobyl at this point.

  • And they do not count in the seawater contamination in their estimates.

  • @Nancy : did you see the gems i found for you ? can u use them ?
    by Edano 4/25/2011 3:04:45 PM

  • @Reed Aha. Thanks muchly. Not great news though - "Unlike the purified fresh water normally used for cooling, the dam water can contain small amounts of calcium that can clog pipes and valves."

  • @es Depending on the size of the sprayers and how much water would have to do with how quick they plug up with calcium deposits. We have very calcified water. I have to clean out faucet ends and shower heads about every 3 months.

  • Japan Rewrites History Forcing Top Official To Retract Statement Fukushima Will Remain Permanently Uninhabitable.

    Japanese media is reporting that Government has forced a top official to retract his report about comment the Prime Minister of Japan made behind closed doors.

    A top Japanese Cabinet adviser revealed to the press that the Prime Minister said that the areas around the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant would not be inhabitable for a long period of time.

    Apparently the comment made behind closed doors was not supposed to be made public and the official has been forced to retract the report and Prime Minister denies ever making the comment. www.globalresearch.ca

  • We are at step two of the disaster. That is the point where the alarmist's are shown to have the facts and now they are dismissed. They were and are idiots, and the fact that they were correct is soon forgotten. I did this dance with the BP accident.

  • @Nancy Same with the water here. The deposits very quickly build up, and it seems more calcium gets deposited faster the higher the temp?
    by es 4/25/2011 3:23:30 PM

  • @es It gets on everything. Just water overspray has to be cleaned off of things once a week because it leaves calcium even through a filter.
    by Nancy 4/25/2011 3:25:50 PM

  • @Edano Thanks Edano will go through those.
    @Elaine, is that part of another report? Can you let me know where to find it when your done going through it?
    by Nancy 4/25/2011 3:27:01 PM

  • fuku 1 #1-5 are mark 1 containment, while fuku 1 #6 is mark 2. nevertheless the cooling problems were the same in #5 and #6. they had to drill holes into the roof as a preparation for venting. i would have expected different behaviours in mark 1 and 2 reactors. or not ?
    by Edano 4/25/2011 3:28:20 PM

  • @Elaine, did you look at the history of those BWR's? 75 PSI and in the testing stages they had to over-torque the bolts to make a seal on the the reactors.

  • @Ralph Unger Have you seen the calculation for total radioactivity release? How do you know it excludes ocean release?
    by RBean 4/25/2011 3:34:37 PM

  • IAEA requires all documents to be in English. So I find it odd that many members of this forum are trying to translate documents. @RB it is clear in the documents that it is only atmospheric releases that are shown.
    by Ralph Unger 4/25/2011 3:37:20 PM

  • @Ralph Unger Maybe we need to arm twist the IAEA into posting all documents in English on their website - would solve some of the games with TEPCO and GoJ playing hide the document..
    by Nancy 4/25/2011 3:38:23 PM

  • I found this in one of Edano's image links. Text of a speech by a GE engineer in 2003, he is complaining about the issues with NPP design and building. It looks like he talks about design flaws. I skimmed the article, need to go back and finish when I have more time translate.googleusercontent.com

  • One of the most alarming things about all of this, to me, is how unbelieveably easy it is for the combination of money and institutional pressure to ensure complete media silence. Where in the world have all the real journalists gone?

  • www.odwyerpr.com An April 3 report in Tokyo-On News Tablet says TEPCO officials taped over corporate signage of employee dormitories. Other TEPCO signs were just removed from the 23 dorms in Tokyo "to protect our employees and their families." The corporate edict to go undercover went out from headquarters on March 22.

    What triggered the tape job? Anti-TEPCO graffiti was found on the dorm housing the company’s crackerjack PR team that must have trained at Three Mile Island or Chernobyl before taking the Japanese gig.

    The T-ONT reports that rocks have been tossed at TEPCO’s headquarters and a torrid of complaints have overwhelmed its call centers. The Tokyo Metropolitan Police stands guard at the home of TEPCO chairman Tsunehisa Katsumata.
