@elainekirk all the workers tweets have been a bit absent. Not sure if they were working lots or actually had time off? I will keep an eye on twitter tonight see if I see more info.
by lillymunster 7/27/2011 1:04:03 AM

@lilly could it be that TEPCO has placed some restrictions on tweeting?
by bo 7/27/2011 1:09:39 AM

@lillymunster @bo tepco and meti have been messing communications up but it doesnt explain that tweet what has happened to be honest I am crying think it just seems so ominous
by elainekirk 7/27/2011 1:12:44 AM

@bo possibly but less likely since the workers tweet off hours and all do so under assumed names. They do sometimes muse about lots of things. One week was lots of thoughts about sacrifice, family, ancestors etc.
Elaine, maybe ask Rockhopper to DM him and make sure sunny is
ok.
by lillymunster 7/27/2011 1:17:28 AM

@lillymunster. I agree, they assumed it was all safe away inside those super shielded containment vessels Simirlarly I think people think that everything is under control and returning to normal. The nhk documentary is the clearest refutation of that I have seen.
by Cat 7/27/2011 1:20:11 AM

@lillymunster rockt has gone to work :) he will be on in his break at some point though so maybe you will catch him and bo can update e in the morning
by elainekirk 7/27/2011 1:24:08 AM

whoops pressed wrong key .. that I have seen so far. It manages to sum the whole mess up in both a scientific and human way. Definately an archive document that will be invaluable for the future.
by Cat 7/27/2011 1:25:29 AM

@elainekirk I will check later and see if I can find him on.

@ panser it's nice to see that company coming out with those
by dean 7/27/2011 2:20:37 AM

@dean agreed, there's an opportunity here to move the tech forward thanks to demand. A little surprised more companies haven't jumped on it
by Panserbjorne9 7/27/2011 2:24:38 AM

agree.. unfortunately there may be companies who have the instruments but chose not to deal with the Japanese and their trade broker sytems. I know that was the way with the excellent water filter I found where the designer of the filter was approached by the japanese but they wanted to modify the patent etc. so, that unit is being purchased by places like orphanages, private people etc.. it's called the TRAP filter and gets the radioisotopes out of the water ...

still watching that NHK Documentary. Wow. Hats off to Kimuru and all. That is some eye-opening stuff. An hour and a half, but an incredible picture inside the zone (he went in March 16th).

Article dated July 25, about car air filters in Fukushima 5 pages. Translated to english. Shock Scoops: Air unveiled a formidable Test Result in Fukushima translate.google.com British journal of research commissioned an analysis of the air filter of a car running a city, Fukushima. As a result, many types of high concentrations of radioactive material was detected. Cesium alone, accumulated amounts within 100 days from the incident radiation is 530 micro Sv. Lightly more than the amount of the annual exposure limit. Why do countries neglect

Remember all those MEXT monitoring maps with the coded numbers instead of town names that we kept wondering about... some very high. They didn't even inform the towns what the codings were, so we had people moving from Iwate (safe) and evacuating to Akogi (that one reading at 330mSv/hr) MEXT hid the names of the locations becasuie they wanted to avoid "unfair rumors".

@all The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident. 東京電力は２７日、放射線量の高い状態が続く３号機の原子炉建屋２階に初めて作業員を入れ、核燃料を効率良く冷やすことができないか調査を行います。 TEPCO 27th, putting workers on the second floor for the first time the Unit 3 reactor building of high dose condition persists, an investigation could not be efficiently cool the nuclear fuel.

Article dated July 27, translated to english. 3 pages. It appears to offer limited instructions on how to fill out the upcoming health survey in Fukushima and gives advice about what documents you may need to file a claim in the future. translate.google.com

OK, I have no idea how you would slice that NHK video up to make it useful in a viral way... it's just one thing after another.

@Radio Guy Maybe you guys could ask the folks at BoingBoing to assist - most of their stuff is creative commons so they might give you an editable file if you let them know what you want it for.
