@lillymunster the current UK govt. seems to aspire to imitate the worst USA policies it can find. Have any of you watched The Money Masters. It gives a whole different view on r the last few hundred years of world history.

@elainekirk no, they said only #1 is below100° :)

@dean I can find no real research on their site yet the un . iaea etc act on their guidance !!

@elainekirk : stage 2 shall bring them all down :)
by Edano 7/26/2011 10:51:01 PM

@elainekirk : do you know a page where they list the daily water injection amount for each reactor ? i mean, all the days in a list ?

@Edano I will have a looky
by elainekirk 7/26/2011 10:58:24 PM

here is an interesting bit of information... since 3-11-11 the NRC has approved operation of 5 aged reactors for a total of 100 more years.. sounds scary huh?
by dean 7/26/2011 11:02:47 PM

in contrast to Japan whose basic policy is the reactors can run forever as long as they pass the annual "walk through"... sigh
by dean 7/26/2011 11:04:19 PM

@Edano now look what you did I only wanted your water injection but up pops yet more data from 11th March www.tepco.co.jp
by elainekirk 7/26/2011 11:10:03 PM

@dean Yes the NRC gets a better safety grade than Japan's agency but Japan's agency gets an F- and the NRC about a D. :-) I really had hoped maybe after Fukushima they might really crack down on some of the more high risk problems. So far not seeing much of that.

by Edano 7/26/2011 11:15:24 PM

well @ Lilly, most of those plants won't have the capacity in the SFP to store that much fuel, next thing you know they will stack it in the canal like "CORD WOOD"
by dean 7/26/2011 11:17:49 PM

be back in a bit

@elainekirk They are hoping if they say it enough times people will believe it.
by lillymunster 7/26/2011 11:52:22 PM

@elainekirk If you put these two vids together they make a very powerful statement to the uninterested nonbelievers. Might wake some up. Can you put 2 vids together? Sorry I am not very technical.

Surely if these went viral the world would see clearly that NP costs far far to much to be considered an option.

@Cat i think it can be done with some basic video edit tools.

@elainekirk @RadioGuy Thanks. The nuclear scientist making a record for the future is excellent and the human cost is only too clear.

How can we worry about terrorists when profit corporations can do far worse legally. Just imagine the response of the world if some "terrorists had managed to create even a fraction of this mess.
by Cat 7/27/2011 12:34:46 AM

When buisness does it the victims have to pay for the cleanup. It really worries me that our governments have to insure NPSs on our taxes.
by Cat 7/27/2011 12:36:55 AM

@Cat All the risk seems to get shouldered back on the public as does dealing with the used fuel and waste. Govt operations are left doing that part of it. Letting the NPPs be private for profit but then dump the risk and cleanup onto the people sounds more like a criminal enterprise than a public service.

TEPCO seeks new ways to reduce contaminated water

The operator of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant has begun looking for new ways to reduce the amount of contaminated water that is hampering efforts to stabilize the damaged reactors.

Tokyo Electric Power Company sent a remote-controlled robot into the No.3 reactor building on Tuesday to take photos of the piping and measure radiation levels.

TEPCO decided to use the robot to find methods of cooling the nuclear fuel in the first 3 reactors with less water.

The utility injects about 390 tons of water into the reactors every day, but most of it becomes contaminated with radioactive materials.

TEPCO says the temperature of the No.3 reactor is relatively stable, but it needs more water than the others because of leaks and other problems.

Reducing the volume of contaminated water is the key to putting the reactors under control, but a system for treating radioactive water has been hit by a series of troubles.

TEPCO hopes to eventually send workers into the buildings to pour water directly onto the reactors.

Tourism industry to be more widely compensated by TEPCO

TOKYO, July 27, Kyodo

A government panel will make Tokyo Electric Power Co., the operator of the troubled Fukushima nuclear plant, pay damages for cancellation of reservations by tourists from overseas due to the nuclear crisis, the draft of its compensation guideline showed Tuesday.

The latest move by the panel under the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology is part of its updated guideline due by the next panel meeting on Aug. 5.

The panel will recognize lost revenue which resulted from cancellation of hotel and package tour reservations by the end of May in regions where the Japanese government did not issue evacuation orders.

@lillymunster it is a con trick, and the lies and deceit are really criminal, but they won't get charged with it untill people wake up and see how they are being conned.
by Cat 7/27/2011 12:44:41 AM

@Cat It is going to take wide scale educating people. That can happen two ways. Long term people sharing the information until it spreads or one large media blast about it. One thing I noticed is that the spent fuel situation really made people who were not deeply interested take notice. When they realize there is a huge pile of nuclear fuel sitting relatively unprotected in a major metropolitan area people will pay attention.
