  • @dean Works for me! I think were about on Plan D anyway!
    by Nancy 4/30/2011 11:11:54 PM

  • @elainekirk Yes, Dean taught us that,iirc. So- let's stuff it with nitrogen and water!!!
    by marie rich 4/30/2011 11:13:03 PM

  • YEH.. so, which area and what do we do first
    by dean 4/30/2011 11:13:20 PM

  • ha ha marie
    by dean 4/30/2011 11:13:47 PM

  • @dean Are they still boronating the water, do we know
    ?
    by marie rich 4/30/2011 11:14:19 PM

  • nancy.. maybe work up a list of things.. 1. ideas to protect your home from increases in activity levels..
    by dean 4/30/2011 11:14:59 PM

  • "vent containment" (Plan A) "inject seawater" (Plan B), "inject nitrogen" (Plan C), "flood SFP" (Plan D). "flood containment" (Plan E?)
    by radioguy 4/30/2011 11:15:33 PM

  • marie.. my guess is .. they are rationing it out at some percentage for all water going in
    by dean 4/30/2011 11:15:37 PM

  • we need to sell them some good ole.. MULE TEAM BORAX.. you remember that box?
    by dean 4/30/2011 11:16:00 PM

  • Or do we need sub-plan classifications?
    by radioguy 4/30/2011 11:16:13 PM

  • @dean I even remember their pitch man. ;)
    by radioguy 4/30/2011 11:16:26 PM

  • I would say come up with plans for 4, 1, 2 and 3 in that order unless some great idea for one jumps out first.
    @dean, were you here wen I mentioned they are looking at turning other buildings on site into holding pools?
    by Nancy 4/30/2011 11:16:45 PM

  • HA! I know, a giant oil rig drill going down thru the top of containment all the way down deep into the crust. Set up water catchment with it to get and treat rad water that flows out, and airfilters for vapor. Drill, baby,drill!
    by marie rich 4/30/2011 11:17:28 PM

  • @Radioguy why the question mark after flood containment, it is their plan . :-)
    by Ralph Unger 4/30/2011 11:18:18 PM

  • Call RotoRouter that's the name, and away go troubles down the drain
    by marie rich 4/30/2011 11:18:28 PM

  • studying things
    by dean 4/30/2011 11:18:32 PM

  • I wasn't nancy.. that's brilliantly LATE... we suggested that weeks ago...
    by dean 4/30/2011 11:21:57 PM

  • ok.. plans for 4, 1, 2, 3 would be good Nancy and have sub categories in the plant... CORE,, SFP,, WATER DISCHARGE, AIR DISCHARGE
    by dean 4/30/2011 11:23:39 PM

  • @dean suggestion for a good group document tool to use? Does Scribd allow editing?
    by Nancy 4/30/2011 11:24:19 PM

  • dang I wish Jim were here.. lets pass it by him when he gets here on Nancy.
    by dean 4/30/2011 11:25:09 PM

  • Throw tons of kitty litter in the basement to soak up contaminated water.
    by Peter Melzer 4/30/2011 11:25:22 PM

  • ha ha .. I was thinking that same thing back there Peter
    by dean 4/30/2011 11:25:37 PM

  • Diapers are better!
    by Ralph Unger 4/30/2011 11:25:45 PM

  • depends
    by dean 4/30/2011 11:25:58 PM

  • @Peter Melzer actually something that sinks and gets coagulated might not be bad if they can deliver it to the right places.
    by Nancy 4/30/2011 11:26:05 PM

  • LOL Dean, yup they would be better.
    by Ralph Unger 4/30/2011 11:26:25 PM

  • @dean what about recirculating some of this contaminated water?
    by Nancy 4/30/2011 11:26:33 PM

  • Hi, 公安調査庁
    Let us know if we can be of any more help...
    by Rob in SF 4/30/2011 11:28:23 PM

  • bentonite- they use it for mudding in well-drilling, it is a sponge, it floats to bottom. AS "fuller earth" it's used to absorb contaminents
    by marie rich 4/30/2011 11:29:25 PM

  • And, it isn't a secondary contaminent- you can eat it
    by marie rich 4/30/2011 11:30:10 PM

  • Recirculating water is a good thing in a sealed system. At Fukushima it might not be such a good thing as the leaking water would have higher concentrations of waste.
    by Ralph Unger 4/30/2011 11:30:37 PM

  • @Ralph Unger If possible a system of cleanest to dirtiest could be implemented. Bonus if that involves the gravity of the buildings and site ie: sfp on highest building to reactor at next lowest level etc.
    by Nancy 4/30/2011 11:31:35 PM

  • nancy... we would probably be able to select a pump they are using to pump water in .. and run a line to hook into the area where they would be able to pump water and then just set up a recirc that way.. however.. if,,, ,that water gets hotter and hotter the lines will do the same and may make things bad.. but it's a start.. would benice to select a pump and get piping behind shielding
    by dean 4/30/2011 11:31:54 PM

  • They already have Areva water purification systems there to deal with rad water, problem is getting in to build a closed-loop system
    by marie rich 4/30/2011 11:32:42 PM

  • one thing I want JAPAN to do.. is ... lower the settings on all earthquake alarms by 25 % or less depending on location and severity of many many after shocks..
    by dean 4/30/2011 11:32:46 PM

  • marie.. did they arrive? the AREVA ones..
    by dean 4/30/2011 11:33:09 PM

  • i think so. brb= saw an areva email, have to re-find it
    by marie rich 4/30/2011 11:34:05 PM

  • @dean flexible pipe in some sort of dampening shielding, concrete, lead, clay??
    by Nancy 4/30/2011 11:34:20 PM

  • Good point Nancy But I have no idea where the water is flowing to or what might be happening, Electrical tunnels link the plant Areva is in the business of selling nuke plants, I dismiss what they say.
    by Ralph Unger 4/30/2011 11:34:28 PM

  • @marie rich can bentonite be mixed into clay?
    by Nancy 4/30/2011 11:34:40 PM

  • yep Nancy.. lead blankets over the pipe with a remote monitor on it to give high rad setpoint levell
    by dean 4/30/2011 11:35:42 PM

  • @dean flexible pipe won't break with movement, outer shielding to keep radioativity in but if that outer breaks or cracks less of an issue.
    by Nancy 4/30/2011 11:36:37 PM

  • haven't they decided just to fill the dang building up so high?
    by dean 4/30/2011 11:36:43 PM

  • Can you impregnate anything like lead or bentonite into the surface of clay?
    by Nancy 4/30/2011 11:36:54 PM

  • yeh nancy
