UNSCEAR estimated total Chernobyl release was 1.2 x 10^19 Bq. The document says xenon just from #4 alone was 1.1 x 10^19 Bq.

Wait, What?: 3M's Nuclear Grade Duct Tape www.geekologie.com

@Bobby1 : this does not sound correct (?) xenon alone ?
by Edano 6/29/2011 3:08:30 PM

this is more than the estimated interior of all 4 nukes + 6 sfp ....
by Edano 6/29/2011 3:09:54 PM

@Edano I think it adds up to 2.4E19 Bq of xe-133 for all 4 units.

Ty Bobby1, all of us will wait anxiously for your translation. According to first coment in that page, water are not included. translate.google.com

@Panserbjorne9 but do they make nuclear grade plastic sheeting?
by bo 6/29/2011 3:13:40 PM

@Edano "Because let's face it: even nuclear power plant employees like to half-ass repair jobs" LOL. @bo HA

Nice graphics of spent-fuel assemblies and a zirconium-cladding fire tamaeigo.blog.so-net.ne.jp The source page tamaeigo.blog.so-net.ne.jp Now I'm thinking that the flash of fire above SFP3 is more likely a zirconium-cladding flash than energy released from the fuel itself.

@bo i have found nuclear grade PVC sheeting, hrm

Unusually well-referenced report on SFP risks my.firedoglake.com that links to this www.laka.org NAS report that deals with zirconium-cladding-fire risks.

The DOE report has a map of the fuel assemblies in SFP4 www.ne.doe.gov Has anyone seen a similar map of SFP3?
by Ian 6/29/2011 3:22:48 PM

@Panserbjorne9 I must have some! Does it come in Hello Kitty print? :-) The hubby would actually use that, must go find....

@lillymunster i guess it's not that expensive when you consider how pricey the reactors are that you're taping up.
by Panserbjorne9 6/29/2011 3:33:21 PM

@Panserbjorne9 a roll of the low grade is $8 so not too bad.
by lillymunster 6/29/2011 3:35:01 PM

I'm disappointed it isn't yellow with little rad symbols all over it.
by RadioGuy 6/29/2011 3:35:12 PM

Ahh...yes....LOW GRADE nuclear tape. That must be what they're using at Fuku.
by RadioGuy 6/29/2011 3:35:53 PM

@bo now if they add it to 3M's duct tape. That would be great if they added this to consumer products.
by lillymunster 6/29/2011 3:37:21 PM

@bo This is wonderful glowing invent, now Japan doesn't need about electric light in the next 240 years!!

@all, time to go lay down in the blue glow and nuclear duct taped safety of my tatami. Mata.

News: ahahi June 29, TEPCO ready to give crucial water cleaning another go www.asahi.com Article attempts to breaks down the process.
by Mid Valley 6/29/2011 4:08:58 PM

Pedro Jesus captured a TEPCO timeline on their water filtration leaks, 2 hours ago, www.tepco.co.jp I really hope that this part is a translation error, it sounds like putting a bucket under a leak: "water blot was confirmed at the outlet flange of the processing transfer pump of the accumulated water treatment system, and a saucer was installed at 3:45 pm. After that, no increase of the blot has been confirmed."

TEPCO forced to halt water treatment system again

TOKYO, June 29, Kyodo

Tokyo Electric Power Co. said Wednesday that it was forced to suspend operation again of a newly installed radioactive water treatment system at its crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant after an alarm warning of a water leak sounded.

But the utility, known as TEPCO, continued operations to cool the troubled nuclear reactors at the power plant using decontaminated water from the new system, company officials said.

The latest suspension came immediately after TEPCO resumed operation of the ''circulating injection cooling'' system, which was halted earlier in the day due to water leakage from holes in a hose connecting a storage tank and a pump that sends water to the reactors.

i know, it is hard to keep up, but this is the latest state.

My apologies if this has already been covered, but is there any techie explanation for the Beta radiation spikes and generally increased count for Harrisonburg, VA as opposed to basically all of the other cities? blog.alexanderhiggins.com
