@ Dean - good morning! Can you make any sense of these reactor #3 temperatures? www.tepco.co.jp

@Edano well no bigish ones lol just little ones www.jma.go.jp

@bo Late, but, as enviornmental controls get more stringent and depth increases, cost increases. Not a shortage really, just an increase in price of U.

@RBeaner ty

I'm back now, and can get them translated, but not until tomorrow. I'm at home now, an English speaking zone

@RBeaner I believe Ralph has gone to bed. He said good night about 40 minutes ago.

@ RBeaner - @Ralph may have gone but the readings are on Kyodo Fukushima's No. 1 reactor building radiation up to 700 millisieverts
TOKYO, May 9, Kyodo

The operator of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant found that the radiation level of the building housing the troubled No. 1 reactor stood at up to 700 millisieverts per hour, the government's nuclear agency said Monday, citing the need for radiation shielding to proceed with work to bring an end to the nuclear crisis.


The radiation level, which was around 10 millisieverts per hour at its lowest, was measured as Tokyo Electric Power Co. workers and agency officials entered into the No. 1 reactor building early Monday as part of preparations to start full-scale work to create a system to stably cool the damaged nuclear fuel inside.

''An area with a double-digit millisievert level, let alone three-digit figures, is quite tough as a working environment. So we have to do the work by using some shielding,'' Hidehiko Nishiyama, a spokesman for the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency, told a press conference.

@Ralph Unger on that 648 mSv, you assume 24 hours a day for 60 days, this is bogus. They slept, early on, in a relatively shielded concrete room. These level are where some work is going on. They have probably been exposed to them at most 3-4 hrs per day. Rad levels vary greatly within even short distances, BB ~9:30.

So is the same as @Pedro Jesus posted, or it is a specific link on the page that @hudebnik posted?

@Pedro Jesus got it. So the link you posted should suffice, no?

@bo - the link @Pedro posted should cover all the different reactor temps. If your contact has time then a similar job on the pressures and internal radiation readings for instance www.tepco.co.jp could be useful. TY.

@bo Actually, please translate both the pressure and temperature page's headings so there is no mistake. Thanks.

@Pedro Jesus, to be sure, is that these two:pdfs\032_1F3_05091200.pdf ; www.tepco.co.jp

@bo - those will do nicely thanks.

Sleep well!

@bo well I hope they don't give you nightmares!

@all no problem. My Japanese colleagues are eager to help.

@Nancy absolutely, thanks. You can also send to my email if you like.

I posted this earlier but wanted to repost it when more people were on. It is an animation that a friend of mine made about nuclear testing that is amazing. It is an example of how art can communicate very complex information very easily. I have looked at data on the history of nuclear testing forever, but when I saw this animation I "got it" in a way I never had before. www.youtube.com

Hello Nancy: I'm very interested in a formatted copy of the study on radiation uptake in crops you mentioned in your @bo post. You can send in to me via email iwork44@mac.ocm or post a link here, which ever works for you, thanks and I do hope you have a lovely day :)
