@pj Did you get it downloaded ? if so try VLC player

@elainekirk I would say larger particles from a volcano too. Or at least larger particles would be in the ash. We had volcanic ash here in Kochi this spring from a volcano in Kyushu (Miyazaki) and when I cleaned the ash off our car, windowframes etc I was surprised how large some of the particles were.

@WolfDK It loaded, but would hang and not continue after just a few frames.

Some players gets mad and rejects raw video dumps
by WolfDK 6/11/2011 1:17:26 AM

@WolfDK I am trying to download it. Will let you know if I get it. What about putting it on Youtube?
by lillymunster 6/11/2011 1:18:03 AM

@will yup they do seem quite large we get them in Scotland when a volcano blows in Iceland and they are certainly noticable
by elainekirk 6/11/2011 1:18:20 AM

@pj Hmm.. the video is ok, i downloaded it after my upload, and it played just fine
by WolfDK 6/11/2011 1:18:38 AM

back... it's interesting to listen to the 4 videos on the first responder video on you tube for SL1
by dean 6/11/2011 1:19:05 AM

@Wolf.. I'm not certain about the quantity of fuel load at SL1 but can find out
by dean 6/11/2011 1:19:59 AM

@lillymunster No i tried that, but they do only allow 10 mins in each video + they transcode the video (messing up its
quality)
by WolfDK 6/11/2011 1:20:00 AM

@dean Its not important but would be nice to know for comparison (puts things in perspective)
by WolfDK 6/11/2011 1:21:00 AM

@WolfDK I'm sure your video is fine - my notebook is just a POS. :/

@elainekirk Regarding the tweet from Chiba about nosebleeds, we have people here in Kochi who have moved from Chiba to Kochi because of the radiation. Our small town magazine published by the city office is asking if residents can assist these people in any way. One of my students is involved in helping them. So people (admittedly in small numbers) are moving away from Chiba, and they do perceive the danger to be sufficient to warrant this (pretty drastic) move.

@will he has young family he feels trapped there financially he feels he will have no money to support them if they go it is a horrible situation I see the government have still not set a date to bring in the law/legislation to start making compensation payments though why tepco arent coughing I dont know
by elainekirk 6/11/2011 1:24:09 AM

I will find out Wolf,,, when I started working there in 1967 I still heard of the SL1 accident and many lessons learned were factored into reactors from SL1
by dean 6/11/2011 1:25:28 AM

Think how much use all those old 70'ies CD (Civil Defence) dosimeters would be in the affected prefectures.. there are just so many out there not being used
by WolfDK 6/11/2011 1:25:50 AM

LILLY very good find on the photos of the steam.. keepers
by dean 6/11/2011 1:28:00 AM

@dean Thanks, you must have so many stories to tell from that time, could spend hours listening :)
by WolfDK 6/11/2011 1:28:14 AM

Added the steam event photos to www.simplyinfo.org if you click on the thumbnail image you can get the larger version to look at.

The Stationary Low-Power Reactor Number 1 (SL-1) was built in the Arco desert 40 miles outside of Idaho Falls, ID near the start of the Cold War, in 195X. It was a small first-of-its-kind prototype nuclear reactor with an active reactor core two feet in height and three feet across
by dean 6/11/2011 1:34:14 AM

@nancy ty wonder why the link hasnt come up ?
by elainekirk 6/11/2011 1:35:33 AM

@dean .. could be interesting to take some readings at the site as it is today
by WolfDK 6/11/2011 1:37:47 AM

they probably take routine surveys there @ Wolf, I think the ground level readings above the burial site was something like 5mr/hr and about the time the SUPERFUND FOR CLEANUP came out, the EPA and others recommended permanently concrete capping the site which they finished in around 2000
by dean 6/11/2011 1:39:42 AM

@Wolf, as was pointed out earlier the reactor was susposed to be about 2-400 KW of power... the "prompt criticality event" took the reactor power to 20,000 MEGA WATTS in about 0.01 seconds...
by dean 6/11/2011 1:46:43 AM

Imagine that increase on a full scale NPP reactor in the Giga Watt range... pewh!
by WolfDK 6/11/2011 1:49:01 AM

www.radiationworks.com some good information on SL-1 and the photos are something else, one of the bodies had to be put in a shielded cask because it was too radioactive...

@elainekirk, a lot of people got stuck in East Germany for many decades on the exact same logic.
by quaker 6/11/2011 1:54:33 AM

Chernobyl accident --> "The last reading on the control panel was 33 GW" Reactor was a 3200 MW thermal, so the 20
GW archived on the SL-1 event i nothing less than stunning
by WolfDK 6/11/2011 1:54:39 AM

@dean I wonder, how big they get this time, last time 10.000 max i hink
by Veenie 6/11/2011 1:58:09 AM

EPA doesn't seem to be in any rush to fix their Radnet Database, must not be anything going on to worry about. cdxnode64.epa.gov
by quaker 6/11/2011 2:02:24 AM

@quaker Nice! LOL. Can you still pull data through their web interface?
