@Bobby1 ?? Where does it say that? Maybe I need more coffee. :-)

@Bobby1 I got the query to work but it is returning dates only, no data, tried a beta rad search.

back

sounds good lilly... I had to come to the office to catch up on some work for work.. whewwww.... this week I am hosting the TEAM RALEIGH from UK for racing here so it's going to be crazy from wednesday on.. and then we travel on to Bend Oregon for racing there...

also.. lilly .. I've sent a couple of emails off to nuclear engineering groups for explanations on details of dresdens reactor containments...

@Dean - link to the documentation page: wp.me

Would be good to know more about Dresden. Some info this morning Dresden may have the building as containment like Cooper. Found a bit last night that Brunsick NPP may be the only steel+concrete containment bulb in the US.

Be back in a few hours.

High level contamination in reactor building found www3.nhk.or.jp "the plant operator said robots have detected airborne cesium-134 inside the No.2 reactor building ranging from 40 to 65 times above the government's standard"

Busy in the summer. Wonder when they'll get the water decontamination system running cleanly -- it would be nice if they could start moving more water in, cool things down a bit more.

@Markfm @dean sorry forgot the link www.nrc.gov

then .. there is the dry well.. which is the bulb they talk about,,, specifically designed to serve as another barrier or defense in depth from radiation leaking out from the reactor to the outside.... and that bulb is built strong enough to be leak tight... and inerted with nitrogen pressure

initially I believe they said.. ok.. at the top of the bulb we will have an interface with water so fuel can be taken up out of the core and transfered to the canal which had to be elevated to match the elevation of the top of the reactor to allow water shielding for the operators when they transfered fuel back and forth

@dean ooops indeed

excellent pedro... it does help...

@Pedro Jesus thanks pedro
