@Bobby1 at 12:10. "How to protect the face of the palace, a verbal promise of TEPCO I do not know, too much emphasis on process sheet schedule, contaminated water continues to leak in the future." from your link translate.google.com How to protect the face of the palace? And by "palace" they mean....Tepco? Nuclear power? Thanks for this article.

Lots of steam on newteppycam, and TBScam. #2 and #4

a similar desaster in tokai would have really catastrophic impacts.

@elainekirk It's pretty hard to tell from translate, but the issues it has are predominantly from word order and the lack of most tense in Japanese. So here's a stab at it:

"Possible events that occurred from the tsunami and other events at Tokai reprocessing plant

When utility power was lost due to EQ and tsunami, The power supply is usually started from the emergency electric facility. It is assumed that the tsunami emergency generator equipment suffered a a loss of power at impact and due to flooding (assuming a height of 14.4m) in the lower floors of the facility due to tsunami inundation of equipment. The expected failure would make unavailable the equipment supplying compressed air.

If the above assumptions are true, with loss the function of all AC power supply, the facilities for reprocessing of radioactive materials would retain the hydrogen likely to evolve which would also affect decay heat removal capability.

We studied the effect of the facility. With features such as loss of all AC power supply, high-level radioactive waste radioactive decay heat makes temperatures rise and the liquid solution and plutonium simmer, while giving off increased amounts of radioactive gas which can be assumed to cause an increase in substances in emissions from the stack. The high-level radioactive waste stays in the tank and more hydrogen is generated by radiolysis of the solution and plutonium. With increasing Hydrogen concentrationin the spent fuel storage pool, it is believed to be likely to explode. The temperature continues to rise gradually from decay heat of spent fuel and water vapor continues to deplete the water from the pool exposing the spent fuel."

@radioguy : do we have problems in tokai lately ?

We know that plant is where they processed the incoming from Areva and Le Hague don't we?

www.bousai.ne.jp ibaraki/tokai has high rad readings, but in march we had measures over 2000 nGy/h so i think the (airborne) radiation comes from fuku.

@Edano Whatever the past history, it seems they're worried about it now.

I'll wait for a better translation. It could just be disaster scenarios after seeing what happened to Daiichi.

@elainekirk ty - by the way, did anyone else see the phenomena three nights ago and two nights ago (10 - 12 pm Japan time) when a light shot up the pole and illuminated the entire area - and showed billowing smoke or fog for a few moments? I only saw it happen three times.

From @msinla on the other blog, because it was so good:
So we've got radioactive fish, Correxit shrimp, cesium contaminated dairy products, radiated leafy greens, wheat and rice are now threatened.... What's for dinner?
