It's just socked in at Daiichi.
by radioguy 5/11/2011 9:22:33 PM

@radioguy Yup, and this part "In water, the minerals (including sodium in ocean water) are made radioactive by neutrons from the bomb core. Fallout from seawater is unusually dangerous because it is difficult to remove by washing. When this material condenses in the cloud, it forms dust and light sandy material that resembles ground pumice. In the case of seawater, it forms a heavy fog from the base of the mushroom cloud (the "base surge"). This highly irradiated material then falls to earth. " I realize they were talking about a nuclear expolsion, but still thought this applied to Fukushima.

@dean I've been checking them. They showed consistent decrease in radiation until a certain point in time and then the readings stabilized.
by Pedro Jesus 5/11/2011 9:24:13 PM

Pedro.. sure makes me wonder about all that data... also .. why would the highest reading be south of the main building and no sample points around the reactors where it's been reported that the dose level is highest.. strange

hi @ Panser

www.capintec.com some products out there if a person is really really worried and wants to wash

Good GMT+8 morning to all. Before I go...
At around 0001 midnight JST, May 12, the satellite storm fix put it at approximately 500 kms south of Hiroshima, out at sea, moving in a track that is slightly east-northeast (50-deg) at 26 knots.

WARNING POSITION:
111800Z --- NEAR 29.8N 132.0E
MOVEMENT PAST SIX HOURS - 050 DEGREES AT 26 KTS
POSITION ACCURATE TO WITHIN 060 NM
POSITION BASED ON CENTER LOCATED BY SATELLITE

@dean I think these posts were set to monitor radiation that might be evading the premises. They measure the radiation levels near the reactor buildings with portable devices but they've been reporting those at times. No regular readings from near the reactors though; maybe the monitors there were damaged by the tsunami, if they had any. These fixed monitoring stations were set up after the disaster. They only have data from these fixed monitor stations from April the 6th onwards.
by Pedro Jesus 5/11/2011 9:35:48 PM

check this crazy post out... wow.. If significant radiation hits California from Japan, how will this affect our $10 Billion marijuana crop? Will it be safe to smoke, or even make edibles from? Will the 2011 crop have to be tested with geiger counters? Will growers be forced to certify they were indoor-only? Or will we all be dead anyway and not have to worry about it?

Assuming there isn’t a world-threatening mega-meltdown from the Fukushima nuclear reactors – which could make the simple act of surviving more important than your next dose of medicine – what kind of problems might be caused for the medical marijuana industry here in California by drifting radiation from Japan?

@alblee greetings :)
by elainekirk 5/11/2011 9:38:02 PM

yeh Pedro and as it said.. those numbers are the ones to meet the requirements of reporting
by dean 5/11/2011 9:38:10 PM

Thanks, @elaine, early start of a long day for me, so I'll probably be back in maybe 10 or 12 hours or so. Stay qewl, everyone.
Have a good day hope to see you later :)

be safe alblee
by dean 5/11/2011 9:40:49 PM

@dean I've addressed that issue with growers in our region: asking what they're doing about it. The main response seems to be "radiation? huh?"
by radioguy 5/11/2011 9:49:13 PM

yeh.. it's the same pretty much all over.. growers need to make a living and they would not ask and then be naive about selling their products
by dean 5/11/2011 9:51:17 PM

I will return.. have to go out on training ride..
by dean 5/11/2011 9:51:40 PM

@dean But the bigger question to me, an expansion of that, is what does AgraBiz do about this? They have trillions of hectares of open air farms.
by radioguy 5/11/2011 9:51:46 PM

what time japan was quake? 2.46p.m.? and what time did tsunami strike Japan time?
by elainekirk 5/11/2011 9:52:17 PM

@elainekirk The earthquake struck at 14:46 JST (05:46 UTC) and the tsunami flooded Sendai airport just over one our later. So it took just over one hour for the tsunami to hit the Japanese coastline.
by Pedro Jesus 5/11/2011 10:04:06 PM

@pedro so it could have struck at 15.41 at daiichi?
by elainekirk 5/11/2011 10:05:43 PM

by radioguy via Pointscope01.jp 5/11/2011 10:08:00 PM

@elainekirk It could have, and now I'm curious like a cat. What are you up to? ;-)
by Pedro Jesus 5/11/2011 10:08:46 PM

@elainekirk I had 3:52pm
by radioguy 5/11/2011 10:09:44 PM

But i have no idea where I even got that number, I've had it for so long.
by radioguy 5/11/2011 10:10:14 PM

That must be available.
by radioguy 5/11/2011 10:10:45 PM

I found something but not sure what collecting it all
by elainekirk 5/11/2011 10:11:48 PM

@radioguy That sounds more accurate because it is only over 1 hour after the earthquake struck. The time at Sendai airport is official but it is plausible that the first wave might have stroke Daiichi either before or after Sendai. I have no idea of how the waves propagated, what path they took, nor which coastal area they hit first.
by Pedro Jesus 5/11/2011 10:12:32 PM

@elainekirk However, I'm pretty sure there should be some satellite images with the right time frame available somewhere on the web.
by Pedro Jesus 5/11/2011 10:14:10 PM

Seafloor terrain being roughly equal (?) it would have struck Sendai first.
by radioguy 5/11/2011 10:15:22 PM

Tropical Storm AERE (03W) is forecast to strike land to the following likelihood(s) at the given lead time(s):

Green Alert City(s) and Town(s)
Shizuoka (35.0 N, 138.5 E)
probability for TS is 45% in about 24 hours
Tokyo (35.7 N, 139.8 E)
probability for TS is 45% in about 24 hours
Iwaki (37.0 N, 140.8 E)
probability for TS is 35% in about 24 hours

Note that
Yellow Alert (Elevated) is CAT 1 or above to between 10% and 30% probability, or TS to above 50% probability.
Green Alert (Low) is TS to between 31% and 50% probability.
CAT 1 means Typhoon strength winds of at least 74 mph, 119 km/h or 64 knots 1-min sustained.
TS means Tropical Storm strength winds of at least 39 mph, 63 km/h or 34 knots 1-min sustained.

@Nancy were the links any good what happened to the second offsite power supply?

8 dead and 2 people sustained severe, life threatening injuries. The quakes were the strongest on record in the region. www.publico.pt

This link is to what was happening in each reactor in the months prior to the quake makes really interesting reading if you weave your way through the various links

and the link to each reactor takes you to full details
