Newest CTBTO data www.cpdnp.jp indicated iodine-131 levels the highest since May 7, and iodine/cesium-137 ratio highest since May 5. Fission is increasing.by Bobby1 5/28/2011 6:35:02 PM
Now where are my 3-D glassesby carabnr 5/28/2011 6:35:19 PM
the 3D eyes crossed is easier on the smaller one below.by radioguy 5/28/2011 6:36:55 PM
@Bobby1 there is no other explanation for it other than recriticality, right? Given the half-life of 131.by Panserbjorne9 5/28/2011 6:37:14 PM
Check out what we did not know about nukes in this documentary. video.pbs.orgby Ralph Unger 5/28/2011 6:37:35 PM- @radioguy it's the one on the left, correct?by Panserbjorne9 5/28/2011 6:37:36 PM
- they work as a stereo pair. if you slowly cross your eyes till the images merge in the middle, you see the frame in 3D Varying distance with the two sizes helps. Don't work at it too hard or you'll give yourself a headache ;)by radioguy 5/28/2011 6:39:46 PM
Now my eyeballs are wobbling and I feel rather sea sickby elainekirk 5/28/2011 6:39:47 PM- @Panserbjorne9 Yes, it has to be that. The ratio especially.by Bobby1 5/28/2011 6:41:02 PM
- Or buy a Zalman 3D monitor, like I did.by Ralph Unger 5/28/2011 6:41:12 PM
- @RadioGuy that is AWESOME. I did it! I felt like Neo in the Matrix when he finally sees everything in code, with the stirring music in the backgroundby Panserbjorne9 5/28/2011 6:42:24 PM
- @elainekirk I hope Nancy sees that! :)by Panserbjorne9 5/28/2011 6:42:55 PM
- @Ralph Unger exactly. You have one? I'm thinking pulling a few frames out on the wider shots where the flatness makes it hard to tell what plane things are on would reveal their depth better this way.by radioguy 5/28/2011 6:43:05 PM
@Bobby1 - maybe that's what is going on in #1, where the rad levels in the drywell have been seesawing up and down - highest this week 247Sv/hr (yes you read that right)by hudebnik 5/28/2011 6:43:25 PM- For games you also have to buy the IZ3D driver. but it is an OK monitor.by Ralph Unger 5/28/2011 6:44:41 PM
- @Bobby1 When did they spike? It'll be interesting to see what that does here. I-131 has nearly disappeared in the Berkeley samples lately. Below measurable levels.by radioguy 5/28/2011 6:45:22 PM
- $600 bucks on the web, I paid $250.by Ralph Unger 5/28/2011 6:45:25 PM
- @hudebnik It looks like #1 is responsible.by Bobby1 5/28/2011 6:45:32 PM
- by Ralph Unger 5/28/2011 6:46:25 PM
- @radioguy May 22-23, give it 5 days to make it to the US. Should be arriving now.by Bobby1 5/28/2011 6:47:08 PM
- @Ralph Unger That is fantastic. You're like Watchtower.by Panserbjorne9 5/28/2011 6:47:37 PM
- @Bobby1 I think I'll avoid the next rainfalls...by radioguy 5/28/2011 6:48:08 PM

by hudebnik via I54.tinypic 5/28/2011 6:48:57 PM- "Faulty sensor" (Tepco) as in if the readings are inconvenient it MUST be faulty!by hudebnik 5/28/2011 6:49:56 PM
- @radioguy Looks like Washington- Oregon- northern Cali is getting it.by Bobby1 5/28/2011 6:50:21 PM
- @panserbjorne pinned for nancy :)by elainekirk 5/28/2011 6:51:18 PM
- @all - does anyone know what the rads would be in Sv/hr inside an operating RPV?by hudebnik 5/28/2011 6:51:21 PM
- 100sV would be about right, no one is ever supposed to be in that environment.by Ralph Unger 5/28/2011 6:52:39 PM
- SF joins in on the iodine shower by tomorrow morning.by Bobby1 5/28/2011 6:53:51 PM
- Yep I said sV not mSv , it is not a place humans should ever have to go into.by Ralph Unger 5/28/2011 6:53:57 PM
- So it looks like corium chugging in #1?by hudebnik 5/28/2011 6:54:07 PM
- @Ralph - so 247Sv/hr would be seriously hotby hudebnik 5/28/2011 6:54:32 PM
- The scientists are all geniuses, that is why they made a bomb that was supposed to be 5 megatons and it turned out to be 15 megatons, watch the PBS link I posted earlier.by Ralph Unger 5/28/2011 6:55:51 PM
- 1 sV/hr can kill you.by Ralph Unger 5/28/2011 6:56:29 PM
- I believe that the control room staff at Chernobyl were exposed to 300Sv/hr when the fissioning core went up.by hudebnik 5/28/2011 6:59:40 PM
- I am talking about Sieverts, 1 can kill, 1000 mSv microsieverts, is 1 Seivert, 1000000 uSv is millesieverts which is the scale used in most measurements.by Ralph Unger 5/28/2011 6:59:50 PM
- Did I get that backwards?by Ralph Unger 5/28/2011 7:01:07 PM
- I didby Ralph Unger 5/28/2011 7:01:13 PM
- Reverse the micro and mille bits.by Ralph Unger 5/28/2011 7:01:43 PM
- @Ralph Unger Yes milli=1000 micro = 1000000by jt 5/28/2011 7:01:59 PM
- TY JTby Ralph Unger 5/28/2011 7:02:23 PM
hi @ all.. to put in perspective.. the reactor I worked at was higher in flux density but,, a fuel element in the reactor would read 1,000,000 REM.. where 100 rem = 1 SIEVERT... so that would be 10,000 Seivertsby dean 5/28/2011 7:03:36 PM- It's the milli bit that makes me think of millions and it actually means 1/1000by Ralph Unger 5/28/2011 7:03:56 PM
- that's why they have the huge biological shielding and other shielding in the facilities and around the SFP..by dean 5/28/2011 7:04:17 PM
- 10K? so you could work in that place for 1/10 of a second before exceeding the radiation limits?by Ralph Unger 5/28/2011 7:05:04 PM
