@all Must say "bye" for a while...

@elainekirk I am not a complete expert on the lattices they use in the FA design...that visual in the IAEA doc would appear to possible take care of 4 Pu rods, but from memory the Fukushima FAs were 9x9. Page 7 in this document (Japanese) shows they were analyzing the 9x9A FA design for use at Fukushima docs.google.com

@elainekirk I am continually in awe of your finds! Have a great day/night!

Radiation concerns, the U.S. annual production of 10 commercial catastrophe reserve price of rice also increased 4-5 percentage
Fuji Sankei Business Eye , July 26 (Tuesday) 8:15 distribution
The rice price trend continued to decline, "catastrophe" is happening. Fear of radioactive contamination from nuclear power plant accidents TEPCO Fukushima first planted by the earthquake impact and East, the U.S. surge in demand for pre-2010 annual harvest already. Multiple brands in the U.S., which have increased 40-50% after 5 quake transactions between wholesaler prices. Therefore reluctant sale, commercial expectations rise, and out even spill less than planned purchases of U.S. stocks government must be dispelled worries about safety and the harvest of new rice in autumn, likely to spread further effect. translate.google.com headlines.yahoo.co.jp

The mayor of Nigata prefecture rejects to restart the nuc plants even after the gov’s “stress test” to say the test is nothing but a fake. translate.google.com www.jiji.com

@hanayuu うちの距離（東京西南）で、被爆症状が出る？と懐疑的ですが、4月に娘が4～5日鼻血を出し続け、その間に息子も。6月にも兄妹でまた同時に鼻血。で、息子は数日前から膝を痛がっています。 TLで騒いでいることが我が家にも…やはり関係あるのか。

@South west Tokyo in April,my daughter kept nose bleeding for 4~5 days.after that,my son had the same symptom.In June,both of them had nose bleed again. My son has had his knee hurt for these days.

@Peter Melzer You mean the "designated with compass-drawn circular zones that bear no relation whatever to plume dispersal"? So if you were in one of the areas that was in the circle but was largely missed by the plume, you can get KI supplements, but if you live in one of the ACTUALLY irradiated areas outside those meaningless circles, you can't? Way to look out for your peeps, Japan.

@RadioGuy, sort of, but they say somewhere else that adjustments to the zones were going to be made as needed. The whole explanation is nebulous to me, because though they claim that more than enough pills were doled out to the municipalities in the zones than strictly needed, the actual dispense was left to the local authorities. I do not quite understand who eventually decided who would be eligible for the pills and who gave the nod to take them.

The best I can tell from watching in a foreign language is that they didn't dispense dosimeters because then they'd have to admit the levels, and they didn't do widespread KI supplements for the same reason. Not that the KI would have done anything at all for the Cs-137, which is far more dangerous because of it's longevity and the ease of its uptake.

@RadioGuy , it may have been too late by the time they distributed the iodine pills.

@RadioGuy , the NISA report narrates that there was little advance preparation for a nuclear accident. They could not assemble the emergency staff in a timely fashion and even had to move their local HQ because the location was unusable.

Strike two against our "disaster management plans": they all seem to take as their initial premise that "this will never happen, but just in case..." so they're not very well-considered before they are rubber-stamped.

@elainekirk, the frightening aspect is that on the Saturday after the quake, there was no coordinated first response to the looming reactor crisis.
