  • Do LED's light up when given AC power? Yep they do I have done that accidentally. But they strobed. Hence the use of two strings.

  • I am suprised how many were tepco workers or is it the case that contractors werent keeping their men there as long and they simply arent getting tested because they are no longer there ? www.tepco.co.jp and www.tepco.co.jp

  • Filtering system tested for full operation

    The operator of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant has resumed testing of a filtering system for decontaminating highly radioactive wastewater at the facility.

    The Tokyo Electric Power Company resumed the test shortly after noon on Tuesday. The test began before dawn, but was halted around 7:20 AM after a pump to send water into French-made decontamination equipment stopped automatically. The firm adjusted the amount of pumped water before the resumption.

    The firm had begun running the system last Friday night, but stopped it after only 5 hours due to a sharp rise in radiation levels around US-made equipment for absorbing radioactive substances.

    The firm plans to continue testing the system for 2 or 3 days before resuming full-scale filtering operations.

    The plant's temporary storage facility for radioactive wastewater is expected to overflow in about a week.

    Tokyo Electric has therefore begun reducing water input at 3 reactors, and is carefully monitoring them for possible resulting temperature rises.

    The firm is also considering transferring highly radioactive wastewater to a makeshift tank for filtered wastewater.

  • Is Ralph still on?
    by lillymunster 6/21/2011 12:02:48 PM

  • @Edano do you still have your numbers on total radiation for fuku vs. chernobyl from last night? My laptop rebooted before I could save it. If not I will go digging back through the pages.

  • @lillymunster

    a) Fukushima
    - 3 reactors / coriums:
    ----> cesium 137: 1e18 Bq = 1,000,000 TBq = 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 Bq
    ----> iodine 131: 7.2e18 Bq = 7,200,000 TBq = 7,200,000,000,000,000,000 Bq
    - 6 Spent Fuel Pools:
    ----> cesium 137: 2.2e18 Bq = 2,200,000 TBq = 2,200,000,000,000,000,000 Bq
    b) Chernobyl (all isotopes)
    ----> 4 - 6.4e18 Bq = 4,000,000 TBq - 6,400,000 TBq = 4,000,000,000,000,000,000 - 6,400,000,000,000,000,000 Bq

  • for fuku, these are worst case source term numbers (all equipment burnt).
