  • TOKYO (Reuters) – Japan and the United States plan to jointly build a spent nuclear fuel storage facility in Mongolia to serve customers of their nuclear plant exporters, pushing ahead despite Japan's prolonged nuclear crisis, the Mainichi daily said on Monday.
    A Trade Ministry official said Japan, U.S. and Mongolia officials, at a meeting shortly before Japan's March 11 earthquake, informally discussed possible construction of a nuclear waste storage facility for countries with nuclear power plants but no spent fuel storage capability of their own.

  • @bo - thanks. How perceptive for them to classify the Japan Focus Fukushima articles under "What's hot"!
    by hudebnik 5/9/2011 9:13:25 AM

  • These are the latest temperatures for #3 - still getting hotter! www.tepco.co.jp

  • How can you be 200C an have a negative pressure? Lemme make sure that is still the case, but that seems impossible.
    by Ralph Unger 5/9/2011 9:16:43 AM

  • One of the RPV temps 329.4C!

    by hudebnik 5/9/2011 9:23:23 AM

  • @elainekirk: sorry, the link on this board is also magically gone now. please delete the pinned post and pin the following one. thx.
    by Edano 5/9/2011 9:24:03 AM

  • Go for the English versions pls, I do, I did not see any levels like that. Hud.
    by Ralph Unger 5/9/2011 9:26:23 AM

  • www.tepco.co.jp - I haven't seen a version with english headers - has anyone else? (Or can translate)
    by hudebnik 5/9/2011 9:27:56 AM

  • @ralph if there is a diference between the levels in the Japanese press release and the English it does need to be highlighted
    by elainekirk 5/9/2011 9:29:11 AM

  • The only high numbers I saw that were high were in the RPV, do we not know those numbers are high?
    by Ralph Unger 5/9/2011 9:30:58 AM

  • the two tepco links are contrtadicting.
    by Edano 5/9/2011 9:34:31 AM

  • by Ralph Unger 5/9/2011 9:34:56 AM

  • @Edano -- sorry, finger trouble! This should be the correct one for #3 www.tepco.co.jp
    by hudebnik 5/9/2011 9:38:09 AM

  • @hudebnik : yes, i have the correct one. it says 239,8° and 329.4° today. the other link says 153.0° and 210.4° for today.

  • Is that pressure or heat of what? I cannot transalate it.
    by Ralph Unger 5/9/2011 9:41:16 AM

  • Hi all, More Fukushima news from Australia www.news.com.au
    by standbybarry edited by elainekirk 5/9/2011 9:42:07 AM

  • @200C + was the highest I saw on my usual links.
    by Ralph Unger 5/9/2011 9:42:16 AM

  • And that was only on #3 which also has a negative pressure reading? How can that happen?
    by Ralph Unger 5/9/2011 9:43:18 AM

  • Does it not take a certain amount of pressure to keep water from boiling away above 100C? Is not 100C the limit without pressure? And they show negative pressure?
    by Ralph Unger 5/9/2011 9:45:17 AM

  • @standbybarry so it is bad and is not going to be done any time soon
    by elainekirk 5/9/2011 9:46:06 AM

  • @Ralph Unger : i think you're right. it is not temperaturre in that column. the third column from the right would fit better.
    by Edano 5/9/2011 9:46:31 AM

  • @Ralph Unger : pressure cannot be negative. it is below atmosphere. we discussed that before, but we did not agree.
