Japan Earthquake

Japan Earthquake | Page 1569

A long wait for solace in a ravaged land
THE scattered vehicles hastily abandoned by the side of the narrow road from Fukushima City to Iitate village offer the first clues that we probably shouldn't be here. Ordinarily on such an early morning, this important agricultural area would be humming with activity. Now, we mostly see rumbling convoys of troop carriers and the armoured vehicles of the Self Defence Forces. This is not a war zone, but it is abandoned and eerie, like the aftermath of an invasion.

Occasionally an ambulance or police car, with red lights flashing, roars past. The drivers are wearing surgical cover-ups - a look that unsettles more than it reassures. www.canberratimes.com.au

@fitter I gave the links on here I meant by 'getting the others' that you search google for the nrc inspection report on a particular station and then go get the docs refered to in the report

@panser they are great reports you found , the sort that make people stop and think

Great interview. Japan 'concealed' data during nuke crisis www.abc.net.au
by Panserbjorne9 6/10/2011 3:59:44 PM

@elainekirk I agree. I think we'll see more and more of these, particularly as journalists decide to take a chance on this type of story

@Elaine question on other board from MB about a new poster yesterday, can you chime in?
by Panserbjorne9 6/10/2011 4:02:17 PM

@elainekirk Is it possible to pin instructions above so that it would be easy for everyone to be able to locate the plants that might be in there locations... I think it would help everyone, that is a big site to manover

@elainekirk Thanks, also do you know if any of the tippycams have a clear picture?

@Dean not sure but they tested the sierns yesterday..

@Panserbjorne9 Great interview on the ABC website. The populace in Japan was exposed to extremely high levels of I-131, I-132, and I-135, there were no warnings given, no potassium iodide was given out, anything. This occurred when the GoJ had detailed information on how much radiation there was and where it was going. Unforgivable.

@fitter , I shall look for it, too. Thanks. As to NRC I search here: www.nrc.gov

TEPCO to install cooling system at No. 4 reactor www3.nhk.or.jp
by Markfm 6/10/2011 5:05:36 PM

Question: We all saw unit 4 SFP videos, we can see that gate to core from SFP is undamaged, so what about heat source in core location ?

sorry you were waiting xxx the mod gremlin is having one of his days of fun
by elainekirk 6/10/2011 5:21:35 PM

@mark oh I see and why are they cooling #4 reactor?
by elainekirk 6/10/2011 5:22:13 PM

@elainekirk "The operator of the damaged Fukushima nuclear power plant is preparing to install a circulatory cooling system for a spent nuclear fuel pool in the plant's Number 4 reactor building. " www3.nhk.or.jp
by RBeaner 6/10/2011 5:28:51 PM

The explanation was that water from SFP leaking via damaged gate to reactor location, but after we saw underwater unit 4 video we know that gate is not damaged

Hi all! For any cam watchers out there..there's major spewing from 2,3 and 4 on Tepco cam.
by LM 6/10/2011 5:34:45 PM

@xxx N
ice overlay, so thats the radioactive pile they were removing outside the building
by WolfDK 6/10/2011 5:35:02 PM

I think now that they were refuling unit 4 before earthquake
by xxx 6/10/2011 5:36:09 PM

HI LM.. could you post which link the spewing is on ?
by dean 6/10/2011 5:36:24 PM

They also dont tell us that they were performing pressure test on unit 5 during earthquake

unit 5 was full refuled before earthquake and at 7,2 MPa

Japanese frustration grows. THREE months after Japan’s March 11 quake and tsunami disaster, frustration is growing as the nuclear crisis shows no sign of abating and nearly 100,000 evacuees remain holed up in crowded shelters. main.omanobserver.om

@xxx A while back we talked about radioactive debris and pieces of fuelrods falling into the open reactor void
by WolfDK 6/10/2011 5:39:18 PM

LM could you post the link only .. I goofed up some how... ty
by dean 6/10/2011 5:39:24 PM

@WolfDK but what radioactive debris ? Unit 4 exploded last, fuel is not much damaged, so there shouldnt be parts of fuel
