  • @smoss ty and a good find!
    by Bobby1 5/14/2011 5:13:40 AM

  • That's poo, old news.
    by Ralph Unger 5/14/2011 5:14:08 AM

  • @Ralph Unger - do you like gardening?
    by Lethbridgean 5/14/2011 5:14:30 AM

  • Yes, so I do like poo. But only in it's place.
    by Ralph Unger 5/14/2011 5:15:04 AM

  • @smoss Remember to ask @Elaine. She's been tracking all of the MOX deliveries. Have a good night.

  • @Bo you were looking for human interest stories... Heart-breaking search for family goes on www.yomiuri.co.jp

  • Only 32 rods of MOX unless the data has changed.
    by Ralph Unger 5/14/2011 5:15:45 AM

  • @smoss Here is a site full of info on MOX. Specifically 2009 inventory. Check around here -I haven't checked all the articles. Hopefully will help. www.cnic.jp

  • @ralph Unger wait, what? Poo?
    by Panserbjorne9 5/14/2011 5:16:25 AM

  • @Panserbjorne9 - I think they call it manure down around them thar parts.
    by Lethbridgean 5/14/2011 5:17:05 AM

  • I live in the south, and some of us call it poo. Manure is too delicate.
    by Ralph Unger 5/14/2011 5:17:48 AM

  • @ch Yes, that was me. I'm running across conflicting reports. Some say that Fukushima I-3 was runnng 30% MOX, and yet others state that it was less than %6 MOX. The data that states 32 fuel assemblies in #3 reactor core would indicate around %6, and yet early on an AREVA exec was quoted as saying that Fukushima I-3 was running at 30% MOX.

  • @ch Thanks!

  • The flood of the Mississippi is a blessing, I bet they lose this years crop, (done deal) but the next four or five years crops will be nice because of the sediment.
    by Ralph Unger 5/14/2011 5:19:30 AM

  • Ain't gonna tell that to Bobby Jindal.
    by Ralph Unger 5/14/2011 5:20:21 AM

  • @ralph....wouldn't this be highly polluted water?
    by wrshpr 5/14/2011 5:21:17 AM

  • @smoss Way back I had found the shipping docs for several shipments but mycomputer crashed and I lost it. Can,t remember where it was but I will keep looking. Meanwhile check out link below. Yes, I have read conflicting info too.
    by ch 5/14/2011 5:21:41 AM

  • And aren't towns and homes at risk?
    by Panserbjorne9 5/14/2011 5:21:43 AM

  • 1000 generations of Indians are all idiots......They built homes on the rises. @Wsp yeah with organics and nutrients.
    by Ralph Unger 5/14/2011 5:22:10 AM

  • This years crop is gone, but the deposition of silt makes for may more good crops in the future.
    by Ralph Unger 5/14/2011 5:23:08 AM

  • Study the old Nile valley, it made one of the greatest cultures in our history.
    by Ralph Unger 5/14/2011 5:23:57 AM

  • @all "The plutonium held at Tokyo Electric Power Company's (TEPCO) reactors was shipped there in MOX fuel over ten years ago. " www.cnic.jp Definately looking like the MOX fuel assemblies currently in reactor 3 are the same ones that were called into question (ie quality control) 11 years ago.

  • Maybe we should take the flood talk to the other page??
    by Angie 5/14/2011 5:25:01 AM

  • Why did I not read about Areva in that post? They make it and sell it and senf it halfway across the world.
    by Ralph Unger 5/14/2011 5:26:14 AM

  • And they also say how the Fukushima mess is not a problem. Can you say special interests?
    by Ralph Unger 5/14/2011 5:27:39 AM

  • @Ralph Unger - once they buy the product it is theirs.???
    by Lethbridgean 5/14/2011 5:28:27 AM

  • Shipment of MOX fuel from France is the reason for the reduction in the figure for plutonium "Recovered in France". Note that it is not possible to reconcile the figures precisely, because only "fissile plutonium" is shown for plutonium held overseas. The increase in plutonium "Recovered in the UK" is due to the allocation of plutonium from reprocessed spent fuel.
    by Ralph Unger 5/14/2011 5:29:01 AM

  • @Panserbjorne9 thanks so much, keep 'em coming!
    by bo 5/14/2011 5:29:53 AM

  • A quote from smoss. There is a person who is looking at the source.
    by Ralph Unger 5/14/2011 5:29:54 AM

  • @bo Oh good you are still around! lol
    by Angie 5/14/2011 5:30:55 AM

  • @Angie was on skype with family, but back in the glow
    by bo 5/14/2011 5:31:53 AM

  • Gunderson passed on my concerns about groundwater. Kinda. :-(
    by Ralph Unger 5/14/2011 5:33:03 AM

  • @bo Must be very hard being away from you kids!
    by Angie 5/14/2011 5:34:17 AM

  • @bo how are your family?? glad you're back.
    by Meretisa 5/14/2011 5:34:38 AM

  • @Angie yeah it is, but they are grown and doing their own thing. Fortunately I get to do a lot of traveling. Going to visit my son and his wife in Barcelona in a few weeks. Skype does really help. @Meretisa thanks. We are fine here. I do daily rad readings and it is not so bad. It is the food supply we are really worried about.
    by bo 5/14/2011 5:37:04 AM

  • @all Wish everyone well, and Good Night!
    by smoss 5/14/2011 5:37:12 AM

  • @smoss Good night and great info you have dug up!
    by Angie 5/14/2011 5:37:42 AM

  • Let me ask the few people (like Gunderson) about this mess. Look at the mSv and the contamination and tell me that I am wrong. The numbers do not add up. Someone is selling a fools paradise.
    by Ralph Unger 5/14/2011 5:38:17 AM

  • @bo rad readings ok... do you do readings on food then too? how are those levels thusfar? thinking and praying for all in Japan
    by Meretisa 5/14/2011 5:38:51 AM

  • @smoss good night
    by bo 5/14/2011 5:38:58 AM

  • www.mext.go.jp is the data that I am looking at.
    by Ralph Unger 5/14/2011 5:39:03 AM

  • @Ralph Unger I have thought all along to simply add a zero to them.
    by Meretisa 5/14/2011 5:39:41 AM

  • Add zero? why, they are very bad already.
    by Ralph Unger 5/14/2011 5:40:26 AM

  • @Ralph Unger I just think they are higher than they let on. adding a zero could later be explained as a mistranslation of some sort. just a though.
    by Meretisa 5/14/2011 5:41:07 AM

  • @Meretisa sometimes we do, and on stuff in the garden. We can read alpha for specific radionuclides too. Don't really know how accurately the meters can really detect things in the food though.
