Hosono wants to shrink evacuation zone in July

Japan's newly appointed minister in charge of the nuclear disaster says he hopes to shrink the evacuation zone around the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant by mid-July.

Goshi Hosono said in Tokyo on Tuesday that control over the facility has been improving little by little.

The plant's operator, Tokyo Electric Power Company, has said it aims to complete by July 17th the first stage of its plan to put the facility under control.

Hosono said that by then he hopes the reactor cooling system will have been stabilized and there will no longer be a risk of a hydrogen explosion. He said if that is confirmed, he wants to have some evacuees return home.

@Edano it would be good to know which unit the docon is cooling with the cleaned water ??? it would also be good to know if they are having any problems at 5&6

@Edano I give up I only wish that we could truly dispatch all these idiots to cloud cuckoo land
by elainekirk 6/28/2011 11:04:20 AM

@bo , this here gives a pretty realistic idea of background: www.blackcatsystems.com It is an informative site. The measured rates a instrumentation specific. We had backgrounds of less than 100 cpm, but our detectors and the samples were shielded.

@elainekirk this is shocking news, really.
by Edano 6/28/2011 11:05:32 AM

I made a comment 10 minutes ago?.
by AustralianCannonball 6/28/2011 11:17:05 AM

@edano That guy would be dreaming right?!
by AustralianCannonball 6/28/2011 11:17:08 AM

@bo I used your word "neglicide" in my final video. I had cryptic threats over the 24 videos and finally my facebook hacked so I decided to come back to the forums.

@Edano The Japanese people need the international community to start supporting them but how do we wake the world up?
by elainekirk 6/28/2011 11:19:03 AM

@elainekirk the japanese people have to wake up. that is the real problem.
by Edano 6/28/2011 11:21:43 AM

@Edano I believe they are awake but simply don't know how to fight , they are piled in evac centres if goj says go home it is safe they will know it isnt but what do they do ? they wont get compo if goj say tis safe at home so...
by elainekirk 6/28/2011 11:25:32 AM

@elainekirk if the egyptians can stand up, why can't the japanese ?

TEPCO restarts water-circulation cooling

The operator of the troubled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant has restarted its new water-recycling cooling system after repairing leaky pipes.

The Tokyo Electric Power Company, or TEPCO, activated a pump for the water injection system on Tuesday afternoon, after checking pipe connections and taking measures to prevent a sharp rise in water pressure.

The Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency says the system is working steadily.

TEPCO was forced to halt the system on Monday after only about 90 minutes of operation due to a water leak. The firm said the leak lasted for 2 minutes at most, and that about one ton of water seeped out.
TEPCO said water burst from a weak connection, and that the firm had not taken originally planned measures to prevent a sharp rise in water pressure.

The system is designed to pump highly radioactive water out of reactor buildings, decontaminate it and circulate it back into the reactors as coolant.

TEPCO says the system is the key to cooling the reactors while decreasing the amount of contaminated water threatening to overflow.

@edano @elainekirk They wont stand up why they keep getting fed crap. This is the problem.
by AustralianCannonball 6/28/2011 11:31:58 AM

If one station in Kashiwa spikes at 0.72 uSv/hr on 22nd March and has only gone down to 0.35 from a previous baseline of 0.10 is this dangerous to health?. It must be cesium-137. Am I just wrong?. Artificial radiation vs radiation thats been around billions of years?. I'm talking 26km from central Tokyo 1m above ground.
by AustralianCannonball 6/28/2011 11:34:36 AM

I think they will have to see what happens with their own eyes before they realise for themselves what has happened
by elainekirk 6/28/2011 11:34:42 AM

@elainekirk I agree but it frustrates the people who understand Chernobyl.
by AustralianCannonball 6/28/2011 11:35:18 AM

I've been posting on atomic insights(pro-nuke) and they laugh at me.
by AustralianCannonball 6/28/2011 11:36:23 AM

Lately I've started to question myself.
by AustralianCannonball 6/28/2011 11:36:46 AM

So I deduced 0.35 minus 0.10 = 0.25 uSv/hr artificial radiation. So even if we take all the high readings around the world wikipedia says they only receive 5 uSv per year of artificial radiation regardless of total background. So I came up that one day in this part of Tokyo is a year of artificial radiation. Is my thinking out?. I can handle it if it is?.
by AustralianCannonball 6/28/2011 11:40:20 AM

I don't like localising figures because the authorities just tootle along take their own measurements and the masses believe the goj over their own community I prefer to go with the notion that the Japanese have a problem that affects everybody and can only be overcome if they fight as one #justmyopinion
by elainekirk 6/28/2011 11:40:25 AM

@elainekirk I agree. I have just been trying to prove issues as far as Tokyo and all I get from people is no thats not right. Tokyo is normal. It had yellow rain around the time the readings spiked.
by AustralianCannonball 6/28/2011 11:41:49 AM

@AustralianCannonball I dont do techi as I said I believe many people will suffer if this isnt fought on a united front by the Japanese people with the support of the global community
by elainekirk 6/28/2011 11:42:17 AM

@elainekirk I know people over there. They dont agree they have a problem. One guy I met on youtube does believe it.
by AustralianCannonball 6/28/2011 11:43:27 AM

Even if I search for Tokyo radiation I get results for March. Its forgotten.
by AustralianCannonball 6/28/2011 11:44:11 AM

We can all watch from a distance and there is not much we can do. They need to wake themselves up. I'm calling for a revolution!!!.
by AustralianCannonball 6/28/2011 11:45:35 AM

@AustralianCannonball : japanese like to forgive and forget. but forgetting means not-learning.
by Edano 6/28/2011 11:46:15 AM

But who wants to wake up when they have to walk away from the house they own. That is the problem.
by AustralianCannonball 6/28/2011 11:46:17 AM

@edano They dont forgive me!. You should see the mail I get from them. My life has been threatened.
by AustralianCannonball 6/28/2011 11:47:05 AM

@edano I'm laying low for a while. Might just hit the forums for a few weeks. De-stress.
by AustralianCannonball 6/28/2011 11:47:37 AM

@AustralianCannonball ooops, really ? they threat you ?
by Edano 6/28/2011 11:47:55 AM

i guess it's the tepco areva iaea yakuza.
by Edano 6/28/2011 11:49:08 AM

@edano Yes. They hacked into my facebook and sent messages of my kids that are in photos on facebook to other users.
by AustralianCannonball 6/28/2011 11:49:19 AM

Who is doing that? Yikes. I has some petty threats flung my way. They were the variety not worfth worrying abt
by lillymunster 6/28/2011 11:49:34 AM

@edano Idont really know who it is but I recovered my facebook, yahoo and hotmail accounts.
by AustralianCannonball 6/28/2011 11:50:02 AM

@AustralianCannonball Some of your videos are more of the rant type than science type, it might tend to irritate the science types.
by RBeaner 6/28/2011 11:50:09 AM

They didn't touch youtube but I changed password anyway.
by AustralianCannonball 6/28/2011 11:50:26 AM

@RBeaner I get that but some like my last one have science in it. The science I just explained about the artificial radiation. So is that a sensless point?.
by AustralianCannonball 6/28/2011 11:51:40 AM

So nobody made a direct threat? Could be bad luck. I have seen lots of people get their fb hacked
by lillymunster 6/28/2011 11:51:45 AM

@AustralianCannonball On your last or next to last video, you said something like...After chernobyl, people were evacuated from areas reading much lower radiation than this.... Where did you get that idea? What basis? and what radiation level?
by RBeaner 6/28/2011 11:52:30 AM

Not direct. But I have had youtube users ask me about my kids for no reason and talk about others who dont make videos anymore. Just weird cryptic stuff.
by AustralianCannonball 6/28/2011 11:52:58 AM

@rbeaner I was told that at air readings of 0.50 uSv Pripyat was a ghost town. From a nuclear scientist.
