  • @Majj : ah, then they are PWR not BWR, it's a good thing at least.

  • @Majj : Siemens is out of nuke biz. maybe areva continues to build it.

  • @Edano We could do a category or an ongoing page with that data. When we get the updated design on the site I want to try to do video channels for AC and Deb's youtube content on it.

  • @lillymunster : one of our aims is to collect and archive data before they vanish. we should extend it to tokyo.

  • @Edano I will check.... I have be invite by a "Nuclear Symposium " that will discuss Fukushima and the consequences in the Brazilian Nuclear program. Apparent they use to have some one from the public on the table to bring new views and questions. My Facebook posts got me the chair... I very nervous because I have no techno knowledge , but is truth that no one here from the normal public spend more time on the Internet studding the meter...

  • @Veenie LOL

  • @Edano I will try to get a framework set up on the site to put all those Tokyo resources in one place.

  • @lillymunster excellent, we can see then how it develops.

  • @Majj : keep us informed about that, and stop burning the Selva !
    by Edano 6/8/2011 12:45:42 PM

  • @Edano I don't burn . Is the Malaysia and and Chines that are here that burning. Money talks :-(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

  • i would love to see brazil. it's so far from europe, and sometimes planes get lost ..... but i hope i will make it there some time.
    by Edano 6/8/2011 12:54:05 PM

  • @Edano Just got a answer that Brazilians plants are PwR and Number 3 is also made By Germans... More information will arrive sun....
    by Majj 6/8/2011 12:57:16 PM

  • @Majj @all good moring! @Majj you were talking about balast water, I assume you are in the business, I asked in the early days about this... I know that some ships do take on water and dump at ports across the world... there has been many documented cases of "sea life" that are not local to this country, that came from ballast water! big problem at the intake's of plants.... what did you find out? anything... I think the rad water would be an issue... not intentetionaly but due to thats seems to be how shipping works... sorry if i missed your answer

  • I'm not alone . India also think the same Is radioactive seawater from off Japan reaching India? It’s a far-fetched fear, but it has gained ground in at least one Indian port, Mormugao, as cargo ships return and offload ballast water—seawater admitted into tanks at the bottom of a ship to stabilise it for the high seas.

    After the near-meltdown at the Fukushima nuclear plant, caused by the March 11 temblor and tsunami, some 57 million litres of seawater has been used to cool the crippled reactors and drained back into the Pacific as radioactive waste. The Goa State Pollution Control Board (GSPCB), it seems, was so worried that it ordered the Mormugao Port Trust (MPT) to ensure that no ship—not just those that had touched Japan—empties ballast tanks at the port. “The south Goa collector received some reliable information that two ships that had touched Japanese ports recently were likely to visit MPT,” says GSPCB chairman S.N. de Sousa. One of these ships—the MV Azul Integra—was on arrival held in quarantine for ten days and examined by experts from the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, who said radiation levels were within permissible limits. “The ship’s agents claimed it had already de-ballasted in the South China Sea and in Colombo,” says de Sousa. There’s no word yet on the second ship, but the order stands as a precautionary measure www.outlookindia.com

  • The end of this history is that the Goa Government free the ship because they did not now a way the check the ballast water......
    by Majj 6/8/2011 1:01:46 PM

  • I find no law to control 'Radioactive ballast water in America or European Union... has never be considered before.. Only organic contaminatiom.... " very day, large quantities of ballast water from all over the world are discharged into United States waters. Carried in this water are plants, animals, bacteria, and pathogens. These organisms range in size from microscopic to large plants and free-swimming fish. These organisms have the potential to become aquatic nuisance species (ANS). ANS may displace native species, degrade native habitats, spread disease, and disrupt human social and economic activities that depend on water resources.

    In recent years there has been increased international focus on Ballast Water Management (BWM) due to the ecological, economic, and potential health threats caused by the spread of ANS from ballast water. The United States Coast Guard is responding to these concerns through a comprehensive national BWM program. This program applies to all vessels equipped with ballast water tanks that operate in U.S. waters and are bound for ports or places in the U.S. Highlights of the program are: (1) requires mandatory ballast water management practices for all vessels that operate in U.S. waters; (2) establishes additional practices for vessels entering U.S. waters after operating beyond the EEZ; and (3) requires the reporting and recordkeeping of ballasting operations by all vessels. More information on the BWM program regulations may be found in 33 CFR Part 151 Subparts C and D.

  • sorry miss the link www.uscg.mil
    by Majj 6/8/2011 1:04:47 PM

  • @trh thanks, will add that to the list
    by lillymunster 6/8/2011 1:05:24 PM

  • @Majj its my understanding that he use of ballast water is a major process part of shipping, we are at one of the largest on the east coast..it would only make sence that the radioactive water is going to spread.... do ship track or document were they take on water and were they dump?
    by fitter 6/8/2011 1:06:01 PM

  • @Majj just seem your last link thanks wll look it up
    by fitter 6/8/2011 1:07:12 PM

  • @fitter I 'm meeting a ship captain this evening and I have a full list of question on the prosese ..
    by Majj 6/8/2011 1:07:35 PM

  • @lillymunster and then there is this one.. i don't know how much we can trust this one
    by trh 6/8/2011 1:07:52 PM

  • by trh 6/8/2011 1:07:54 PM

  • @Majj good will look for your post on that

  • I found this finishing up the MOX shipment research. Unused MOX sitting in a SFP for 4 years at Takahama had a 15% conversion of plutonium to americum while it sat in the pool. What would 10 years in a SFP do to the MOX?
    by lillymunster 6/8/2011 1:10:13 PM

  • Oops link cnic.jp
    by lillymunster 6/8/2011 1:10:26 PM

  • Ballast water does get around. In the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence we've picked up multiple invasive species that pretty certainly came in via ballast tanks.
    by Markfm 6/8/2011 1:12:51 PM

  • We have a deep sea coal port nearby that has brought new species to our shores

  • I found this whilst looking for mox storage times and it has some interesting info inclluding an american plant that trialed areva mox and discontinued due to elongation of the rods docs.google.com

  • @nancy I will grab coffee and read is the power restored in the control room? has nitrogen injection resumed?
    by elainekirk 6/8/2011 1:26:48 PM

  • 8 June vs. 7 June plant parameters. #1 temps and pressure flat (stable), at 100C +/-, DW CAMS B drop from 247 to 51.2 Sv/hr. #2 pretty flat, temps over 100C. #3 flat, temps at 150 - 180C. "flat" doesn't mean good, just little change.
