There are a few more from this morning that were kind of interesting, but this one I think belongs on SimplyInfo for sure. Thanks Elaine. Did you get eaten by the midgies? :)

nope. Trying to backtrack. The Nuclear energy category of the peace and health blog is full of good stuff though, check it out: peaceandhealthblog.com

@elainekirk at least the wild horses are less likely to nibble on you than the midgies!

@lillymunster. You were looking for MOX info earlier. I guess you have this. Possibly they would have the info. you need or have links to someone who does. www.world-nuclear.org

@Edano , I'm not convinced war created debt. Watch the Money Masters. He demonstrates that the banking families have been loaning money to both sides in wars for a couple of hundred years. He has some very interesting things to say about the battle between USA presidents and the banking system for control of the economy. Guess who won. But presidents such as Franklin and Jackson put up a valliant fight. American citizens understood the dangers of private banke then, And the Federal Reserve and the BAnk of England are both private banks with shareholders.

@lillymunster that is just so ... I dunno I don't want it on our shores but to send it back at this time ....
by elainekirk 7/28/2011 12:51:56 AM

@elainekirk I think what is being sent back is vitrified. Where they are going to put it? I thought they didn't have a storage facility yet.
by lillymunster 7/28/2011 12:53:49 AM

@lillymunster knowing the London administration they will bethinking it will show the world that it is business as usual in Japan
by elainekirk 7/28/2011 12:58:11 AM

@elainekirk likely part of this PR push this week that nuclear is ticking along just fine. Lots of purposeful pieces like that in the news trying to make people think everything is spiffy in the nuclear industry. This could also have something to do with investors and stock prices.
by lillymunster 7/28/2011 1:01:44 AM

@lillymunster oh to be sure it has!!
by elainekirk 7/28/2011 1:04:48 AM

Is it me or does this Dose Limit Chart from ICRP published on the NRC website give different levels to those being touted as safe in Japan

USA | WALL STREET JOURNAL | 27 July 2011
PARIS (Dow Jones)–French state-controlled nuclear engineering firm Areva SA (AREVA.FR) Wednesday reported a large drop in quarterly earnings and warned that it is still too soon to assess the full consequences of the Fukushima nuclear disaster on its long-term financial outlook.
In the first half of 2011, Areva’s net profit stood at EUR351 million, down from the EUR843 million a year earlier. Operating income excluding special items fell to EUR62 million in the period from EUR213 million a year earlier.
But Areva’s earnings statement was even more noteworthy as an articulation of the new uncertainty that shadows the nuclear business following Fukushima. Areva has touted its 3rd generation EPR reactor as the world’s safest nuclear source.
In its most extensive comments yet on the consequences of Fukushima on its business, Areva warned the full long-term impacts “remain extremely difficult to assess at this time.” It noted that leading international organizations also had “not published post-Fukushima forecasts.”
The shift could “concern all operations in the nuclear cycle and will be included in the strategic plan to be prepared by the end of the second half of the year,” the group’s new Chief Executive Luc Oursel said in a statement.

everything is a big secret when it comes to radiation it's just sad
by dean 7/28/2011 1:50:09 AM

@dean they trotted out the xray is the same as ________ thing. I little concerning that the military didn't seem to have a protocol to invoke related to radiation safety.
by lillymunster 7/28/2011 1:54:14 AM

@dean well for areva to takee a 60% knock with all the trade they have had from tepco means conttracts are being cancelled somewhere
by elainekirk 7/28/2011 1:55:38 AM

@lillymunster did you see ariadnes link re the 'same as'
by elainekirk 7/28/2011 1:56:34 AM

@elainekirk I grabbed the couple of links she posted. Was this something else?
by lillymunster 7/28/2011 2:01:22 AM

true @ lilly,,, mum's the word
by dean 7/28/2011 2:05:41 AM

@elaine.. Areva is like the other conglomerates, actually monopolists who is suffering world wide due to fukushima
by dean 7/28/2011 2:06:36 AM

that is really spelled out for Areva who has purchased solar thermal power... they are shifting gears to hedge
by dean 7/28/2011 2:11:00 AM

@dean yes ! dean what do you think to the icrp dose charts on the nrc site they say they are using v1 in preference to v2 is v2 a fuku special maybe ? www.nrc.gov
by elainekirk 7/28/2011 2:11:07 AM

not sure on that one @ elaine, every time I see them tweek those limits I think of how much they have failed in the limits and failed in communicating with the people.
by dean 7/28/2011 2:15:50 AM

what japan should have done is focus any increases at the reactor building and leave all others where they were...
by dean 7/28/2011 2:17:29 AM

@dean very true
by elainekirk 7/28/2011 2:20:29 AM

they are trying to bring the plants to some form of safety shutdown and then deal with the recovery which will result in higher doses to workers... and it's all made worse by the fact that the workers are more worried about being paid and their jobs hinge around how much dose they take in ... they need the money.. imagine them scrambling in and out of those facillities doing the recovery as fast as physically possible.. probably thinking.. "if we just leave our dosimeters just in side the door and do our work then pick the dosimeters up on the way out" we will make more money
by dean 7/28/2011 2:20:33 AM

if they hit the limits set ,, they are sent home with no pay to become unemployable for months
by dean 7/28/2011 2:23:03 AM

@dean this is true have you read the worker tweets I posted earlier
by elainekirk 7/28/2011 2:24:32 AM

yes elaine.. it's so sad
by dean 7/28/2011 2:24:47 AM
