@Rob in SF agree that the name is irrelevent, the process was not.. LAST SAID BY ME.. don't want to get in to the polotics, but do feel he was not treated right,,,,

@dean We wouldn't know unless TEPCO told us, have not seen anything on live cam in over 24 hours now.

TEPCO releases undisclosed data on nuclear crisis

TOKYO, May 28, Kyodo

Tokyo Electric Power Co. on Saturday released undisclosed data on radiation monitoring at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant when it was crippled by the March 11 earthquake and tsunami and began emitting radioactive materials.

The highest radiation level found in the 1,509-item data was 3,699 microsieverts per hour at a building north of the No. 1 reactor at 3:55 p.m. on March 17. No case was found of the radiation level exceeding the highest published level of 11,930 microsieverts recorded on March 15.

The release came a day after the government learned that TEPCO did not fully disclose the data on radiation monitoring at the plant and instructed it to sort the data, make it public, and make doubly sure that this would not happen again.

@Edano glad to see you

@fitter US Navy 7th fleet sorties.. www.c7f.navy.mil

@deb Hmm the way I read that article they are suggesting it's illegal even to provide a link to copyrighted material. That would certainly affect posters in the US and if this is correct; <Proposed legislation in Congress would give the U.S. government the power to shut down copyright-infringing websites in other countries – even if they mainly link to copyright-protected material without permission."> it might also affect posters in other parts of the world. Although since when did Congress make the laws for other countries??

@deb the crux of the issue is we do not seek permission from media sources before posting links here

@deb - Kinda true, and OT:

There is a law firm called 'Righthaven, LLC' which is aquiring rights to articles from various media groups and then suing anyone who uses articles or photos from the papers that are part of those media groups.

There have been blogs and web site shut down over this, Righthaven basically sues hoping for a settlement and sites that can not afford to fight in court or pay them off close down.

Apparently Righthaven has moved in to more questionable waters recently by suing Pajamas Media directly in spite of PM having a registered DMCA Agent.
If a site registers an Agent for contact under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) a copyright holder is required to contact that agent about removing the copyrighted image or article prior to filing suit.
Pajamas Media has a registered Agent, as does Calguns, but Righthaven filed suit in spite of that.

Rather than chase their own tails trying to remove selected articles from these papers many web site, again including Calguns.net now, are simply 'blacking out' these media groups and their papers/websites.
No photos, no articles, nothing from those on the list of media groups signing on with Righthaven.


Below link has list of newspapers by media group affiliated with Righthaven, LLC, do not post any photos or articles from these newspapers.

@fitter THe issue is we provide links on this site to copyrighted material we find in the media & occasionally post excerpts.

Thunder would like to get out of mod, thanks

@dean I was wondering about that. I think it might be possible under UK law, but no idea about the US

@Edano I'm confused by the Kyodo article saying the highest rad levels were 11 and 3.7 milli Sievert?? Wev'e seen numerous multiple Sievert readings.

@fitter @UKVal I think the important thing is that we be careful, ie when you post an article in it entirety in here, make sure the link is there or credit/copyright info. Don't download images, link them instead. As long as you give credit to the original author, you shouldn't have a problem.

@Rob in SF You should go outside and play today. The radiation network says 7cpm for San Francisco, lowest I have ever seen it! Usually it is in the 20-40 range.

I suggest that we avoid posting anything from the papers listed in Rob' post below (they seem to be 'local US papers as far as I can tell) & with the others we avoid posting long excerpts & make sure we include the source clearly. We also need to pin a statement up top saying this blog is for research & educational purposes and no commercial or other benfits accrues to those who post or use it' - or words to that effect. Then we keep our fingers crossed!

@UKVal Excellent post & idea
