  • I wonder why it shows up now though?
    by lillymunster 8/25/2011 11:34:39 AM

  • maybe it leaked now ?

  • page 8 on the slides below the doc appears to show fuku modellling www.ansn-jp.org

  • but we can clearly see that a 100 km exclusion zone is much better than 20 km.
    by Edano 8/25/2011 11:35:51 AM

  • the drop of the curves is higher beyond 20 km.
    by Edano 8/25/2011 11:36:48 AM

  • 50-100 km is most dropping.
    by Edano 8/25/2011 11:37:16 AM

  • @Edano I think the issue that has impacted evacuation more than where the radiation is, is that fukushima city is near and big population.
    by lillymunster 8/25/2011 11:37:26 AM

  • @lillymunster sure.
    by Edano 8/25/2011 11:38:10 AM

  • but still daiichi was constructed in a very low populated area, luckily.
    by Edano 8/25/2011 11:39:42 AM

  • there is another doc this covers some of the ground my previous one did and some new ground
    www.google.co.uk

  • elaine found an english version : www.ansn-jp.org

    by Edano 8/25/2011 11:45:27 AM

  • @Edano is that right oh I am pleased I think I have something else just uploading it to google docs to save peep having to download it

  • this diagram does not cover a chernobyl type accident, so it cannot be a general risk assessment. it must apply to a specific type of reactor. but i cannot find the doc referencing to a specific type.
    by Edano 8/25/2011 11:51:18 AM

  • Please make note that at 100 Km. distance values are not 0. Moreover X axis is logarithmic.
    by estacion 8/25/2011 11:51:47 AM

  • @elainekirk yes it is the same diagram but without acute deaths.
    by Edano 8/25/2011 11:51:53 AM

  • @estacion both axis are logarithmic. log axis cannot show zero :)
    by Edano 8/25/2011 11:52:30 AM

  • Acute deaths = deaths for direct exposure to NPP wave radiaton + explosion death.
    by estacion 8/25/2011 11:53:44 AM

  • What I mean is you will have a significant death rate a 200Km too.
    by estacion 8/25/2011 11:54:57 AM

  • @Edano In the SA-L-15 pdf it says the OSCAAR site data is based on the following (p.32):
    "A model plant is assumed to be located at a coastal site facing the Pacific
    Ocean.
    Population and agricultural production data from the 1990 census"

    The Model Plant in the Level 3 PSA Program at JAERI specifies (p.28)
    "1100MWe BWR5 with Mark-II type containment
    – One of the most common plant type in Japan"
    by es 8/25/2011 11:58:09 AM

  • loss of cooling + overpressure failure = fukushima = worst case (!) according to the diagram.
    by Edano 8/25/2011 11:58:47 AM

  • @es ah, thank you ! this info i was looking for !
    by Edano 8/25/2011 11:59:11 AM

  • @Edano yw :)
    by es 8/25/2011 11:59:38 AM

  • My guess:
    by estacion 8/25/2011 12:00:14 PM

  • if the assesment is based on mark2 bwr5, then we have to assume curves on a higher base for fuku daiichi 1-3.
    by Edano 8/25/2011 12:01:50 PM

  • @Edano Mark1 containment is smaller and less stable. Unit 1 has a smaller containment bulb that 2-4. That has been cited as a concern in an accident.
    by lillymunster 8/25/2011 12:04:58 PM

  • @Edano There's the MOX factor to consider too.
    by es 8/25/2011 12:05:10 PM

  • @es @lillymunster yes, that's why i think we have to assume higher curves, similar but higher.
    by Edano 8/25/2011 12:05:58 PM

  • interesting diagram. mathematics can be cruel.
    by Edano 8/25/2011 12:06:57 PM

  • Tokio-Fuku distance= 230 Km.
    My guess is for 230 Km. death rate ~ 10*-4.
    Tokio Metropolis population 34,500,000 (2007)
    34500000/10000
    by estacion 8/25/2011 12:08:05 PM

  • I feel sick I will download the docs so they don't disappear
    by elainekirk 8/25/2011 12:09:20 PM

  • 3450 deaths in Tokio only.
    by estacion 8/25/2011 12:09:26 PM

  • @estacion ... over some decades.
    by Edano 8/25/2011 12:09:53 PM

  • Of course.
    by estacion 8/25/2011 12:10:12 PM

  • so it will not be statistically significant and we will never know.
    by Edano 8/25/2011 12:10:50 PM

  • but every accident will add up all over the world. plus the bomb tests + the toxic waste.
    by Edano 8/25/2011 12:14:55 PM

  • another doc I have also placed one on organise because I didn't want to interupt the conversation www.iaea.org
    by elainekirk 8/25/2011 12:16:16 PM

  • @Edano: Add genetic malformation (no born + born, but not viable + viable born, but with serious condition)
    by estacion 8/25/2011 12:17:08 PM

  • @estacion minus hormesis ;) [not serious, just joking on hormesís]
    by Edano 8/25/2011 12:20:24 PM

  • www.esrel2011.com
    conference september 2011
    1. Occupational Safety 1. Chairman: M. Cepin. Chairman: E. Zio .... Major accidents and their consequences for risk regulation .... System Reliability Analysis 4. Uncertainty and Sensitivity. Analysis 1 ... Uncertainty analysis in probabilistic risk assessment: Comparison of probabilistic ..
    .
    There is something unsettling about a conference discussing how many people it is acceptable to risk killing is opening with 'cocktails' I kinda find myself hoping they poke their eyes out with the cocktail sticks their victims have funded, I never thought I was radical but a conference discussing who loses their right to life is ...
    by elainekirk 8/25/2011 12:21:42 PM

  • Didn't think on hormesis. Hormesis will save Japan ;)
    by estacion 8/25/2011 12:22:26 PM

  • the first effect we will be able to notice will be miscarries (abortions). we should keep on eye on the statistics, if there are some.
    by Edano 8/25/2011 12:23:43 PM

  • from the abortion rate we can extrapolate future cancer effects.
    by Edano 8/25/2011 12:24:35 PM

  • @Edano I was reliably informed that disability is not embraced in Japan and abortions are common when doubt exists as to the condition of the foetus
    by elainekirk 8/25/2011 12:25:31 PM

  • @Edano , and they will immediately be associated with psychological stress.
    by Peter Melzer 8/25/2011 12:25:33 PM

  • greetings to all...good morning
