Japan Earthquake

Japan Earthquake | Page 1458

@UKVal that's a valid thought. It would be difficult to differentiate illnesses/symptoms based on the unique living arrangements, stressors from the EQ, etc. Needs to be considered in differential.

@Panserbjorne9 Idon't think any studies show low level radiation having relativelely immediate effects. All argument I have seen is low level over long period of time. Prehaps dust masks, lack of water and wearing winter clothes has some impact.

I wonder if the gamma count (+1000 cpm) in St Louis www.epa.gov accounts for the Wtf! readings of a Geiger counter in St Louis www.youtube.com ?

Psychological aftershocks rattle Japanese
'Earthquake drunk' cases are on the rise, in which people experience the sensation of an aftershock, even when there is none. Experts say it is akin to the shakiness some feel after sea travel. www.latimes.com

Concert, compassion for Japan
It's been less than three months since an earthquake and tsunami devastated Japan, but already the disaster in the Pacific has seemed to quietly disappear from newscasts even as the suffering and rebuilding continues.
With this in mind, Intermezzo Strings is offering East Valley residents a chance to help by attending a benefit concert at 7 p.m. June 11.

TEPCO's Flip-Flops Increase Confusion at Fukushima In a series of stunning flip-flops, officials at Tokyo Electric Power Co. (TEPCO) have reversed themselves on several important statements made recently. spectrum.ieee.org

@panser as someone who spent some years living on the water I can say it is something you do not really acclimatise to either! .Because your brain is continually adjusting your balance whilst aboard it continues to fine tune your balance on land the thing is aboard your eyes see the movement so the balancing is 'explained' but on land you see no movement so your mind cannot find the logic hence the 'drunk' feeling

Officials: Ala nuclear plant can withstand tornado
Published May 31, 2011 | Associated Press
ATHENS, ALA. – A powerful tornado that came within a few miles of the Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant last month wouldn't have splattered north Alabama with radiation even if it had hit a reactor directly, federal regulators told a skeptical crowd Tuesday during a meeting at the troubled installation. www.foxnews.com

Japan: Endangered Whales and Man at Risk - It's NO JOKE! www.thewhalepeople.com
Japan's Fukushima nuclear plant was hit by a massive earthquake and tsunami on March 11
With the recent nuclear debacle resulting from the recent tsunami that hit Japan, it seems that our Japanese friends, once again, are not being honest with us.
A nuclear physicist sent me this message. It affects you and me and our whale friends:
My Thoughts on the Fukushima Reactors
Dr. Aharon Friedman PhD.
Monday, March 29, 2011
I am writing this commentary as I feel that I would be neglecting my duties as a citizen of this planet and as a Physicist, if I do not take the time to enlighten as many people as I can reach regarding the ongoing nuclear crisis and the happenings in Japan.
The Japanese government which has always been less honest and forthcoming, is the government who is lying to us. Our President, while fully briefed on what is really going on, is taking a too passive role in the matter.
While I sympathize with the rebels in Libya, I feel strongly that the situation with the reactors in Fukushima is and should be the top priority for every government on this planet, be it a democracy or any other form of government. This is an actual war that we are all involved in right now.

IAEA: Japan underestimated tsunami impact
A team from the International Atomic Energy Agency will submit a summary of its report to the Japanese government on Wednesday after concluding its investigation into the nuclear disaster in Fukushima.

The 18-member team inspected the damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant and other nuclear facilities beginning May 24th.

The draft of the IAEA summary report says Japan took the best possible measures immediately after the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi plant, but it underestimated the danger of tsunami. The draft says it is hard to expect that Japan could have done more than it did soon after the accident occurred, with all safety systems lost and with insufficient manpower and lighting.
But the draft says Japan underestimated the impact of the tsunami and failed to respond to waves that were higher than had been expected.

It also says the chief characteristic of Japan's worst nuclear accident is that 4 reactors were exposed to the risk of meltdowns.

The report calls on Japan to revise its current process of dealing with a severe nuclear accident. This process is based on the assumption that lighting and electricity would be available in such an accident.

The team criticizes Japan for failing to ensure the independence of the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency, despite the advice given 3 years ago by the IAEA that the agency should be separated from the Economy, Trade and Industry Ministry.

The team will submit a full report to an IAEA ministerial meeting that will open on June 20th in Vienna.

I agree Tenzing... This issue is of profound importance to the entire world. I don't really understand the ignorance and complacency. I just finished my abbreviated paper on the issue of heat related illness with the help of some editiors including Ariadne, who made som excellent comments.
