@Thunder there is a green party in US ? (i don't know if you are UK or US)
by Edano 7/30/2011 5:22:28 PM

@Edano....Australia!:-) @Elainekirk....yeah this time, every rain event, every time theres a flood or a fire the stuff will just keep getting stirred up! Tragic! I even thought of a another contamination path.....tree grows in RAD forrest, tree gets cut down and turned into pulp for packaging material, family anywhere buys new tv from Japan and gives child box to play with.......scary! "Brand Japan" better do something fast, unfortunately I think the window has passed!:-( I hope I am wrong!!!!!

@Thunder I am not sure of paper production in Japan, I hope the region isn't home to paper foresting. Very good point, the radiation would likely follow along the process.

@Thunder the time has passed for me I used to order lots online but now I go shops so I can check the country of origin ! if it isnt obviously stated
by elainekirk 7/30/2011 5:30:59 PM

@lillymunster I believe there is a cardboard production unit that was one of the first businesses to reopen they were in the media
by elainekirk 7/30/2011 5:32:12 PM

what we learn from this is that proper evacuation is not only important for the local population, it also affects the entire country by preventing the spread of radiation !
by Edano 7/30/2011 5:32:16 PM

so even the people far away from a disaster should insist on an adequate evacuation.
by Edano 7/30/2011 5:34:23 PM

@Lilly here's hoping not!!! In the end though....there will always be another and that's the problem I see, without the initial response being strong enough there will always be doubt in some peoples minds about anything from Japan! @Edano that's fine! Good point too, I said that re:food, they had the chance to admit the problem and shut the whole area and beyond down to all economic activity preventing spread....their choice, deny it! Idiots! @Elaine..... "cardboard first to restart" :-( Food packaging? Lets hope not!!!!!!
by Thunder 7/30/2011 5:36:06 PM

evacuations should be broad and fast - like in chernobyl. if they can return fast - the better. but i fear what we see now is iaea's (icrp's) global evac policy to protect the nuke industry.
by Edano 7/30/2011 5:42:57 PM

@Edano the end result we are seeing is a massively complicated situation made worse by the initial denials and lack of evacuations or food restrictions.
by lillymunster 7/30/2011 5:48:29 PM

i just looked up evac scenarios in germany. there are three stages: 2, 25 and 100 km. will look deeper.
by Edano 7/30/2011 5:49:20 PM

"germany is not prepared for a disaster like in fukushima. necessary evacuations are not possible due to density of poulation." www.spiegel.de very interesting article (in german)
by Edano 7/30/2011 6:00:08 PM

@Edano would a hundred km zone be possible in Japan due to density of population???Not to mention the economic impact! I'm just saying "Germany not prepared for disaster like in Fukushima" should read "Japan not prepared for disaster like in Fukushima"!
@All gota get some sleep, g'night!
by Thunder 7/30/2011 6:07:34 PM

@Thunder Same would go for many areas of the US. Omaha, Minneapolis, New York City. Many of these old power plants are now on the edge of large cities that would be impossible to evacuate.
by lillymunster 7/30/2011 6:08:49 PM

100 mSv in 7 days => evacuation
100 mSv/year => permanent relocation
all costs has to pay the nuke owner. dip21.bundestag.de
by Edano 7/30/2011 6:27:24 PM

i bet these numbers are the same all over the world.
by Edano 7/30/2011 6:31:49 PM
