  • NTT Docomo unveils smartphone jacket to measure radiation

    TOKYO, Sept. 22, Kyodo

    NTT Docomo Inc. has unveiled a prototype of a smartphone cover capable of measuring radiation levels.

    The cover is equipped with a sensor to gauge gamma radiation, ultraviolet rays, bad breath and body fat [???], the Japanese telecommunication giant said Wednesday.

    The smartphone itself can save data measured on the sensor, including the time and place, and the figures may be shared with other users of the system, it said.

    The company said it has not decided when it will release the product into market.

    The desire to measure radiation levels has increased among people in Japan due to an accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station triggered by the March quake and tsunami in northeastern Japan.

  • @Hedge yes after all these years though it has been cleaned as far as possible, strange isnt it a quarter century later Scotland still has radioactive material from a small but sustained 'leakage' whilst over in Japan all the massive amounts of radiation that entered the ocean over te past 6months has disappeared...magic eh

  • Here's that "rainwater 3 times safe drinking water level" study. But federal limits are set very, very low. Actually might not be such a bad idea to have higher permissible levels in case of a crisis and not panic over "unsafe" levels as determined by somebody's guess as opposed something has an immediate toxic effect. ...... Low levels of radiation peaked in March 24 in California<br>

    "> Radioactive Material From Fukushima Found In San Francisco Bay Area
    Rainwater By Samantha Chan September 22, 2011 </a> first sample that
    showed elevated radioactivity was collected on March 18, and levels
    peaked on March 24 before returning to normal.
    <P>

    The maximum concentration of 131I we observed in the rainwater was 16
    Bq L-1 (430 pCi L-1 from the sample collected on March 24. This
    maximum activity concentration can be compared to the US EPA limit on
    131I allowed in drinking water of 3 Bq L-1 (81 pCi L-1) [5]. If a
    person were to drink a typical amount of water per day containing the
    EPA limit of 131I, then in one year he or she would receive a whole
    body dose of <0.04 mSv (4 mrem). This dose should be compared to the
    US average annual radiation dose of 6.2 mSv (620 mrem) [6]. Due to the
    short half life of 131I, it is extremely unlikely that the public will
    be exposed to anywhere near these levels in drinking water. Thus the
    levels of fallout we have observed in San Francisco Bay area rain
    water pose no health risk to the public<P>

  • Drunken Fishermen Ram Atomic Submarine


    A fishing boat full of drunken sailors accidentally rammed a nuclear submarine off the coast of Kamchatka early Thursday, Interfax reported, citing Navy sources.
    The crew of the Svyatoi Georgy, or St. George, which had surfaced and had its navigation lights turned on, saw the fishing boat coming, but attempts to contact its crew via radio or get their attention with flares proved unsuccessful, likely because the captain was not at the bridge, and the entire crew was drunk, the report said.
    Both ships suffered minor damage as a result of the collision, which caused no injuries. There was no radiation leak, but the submarine is undergoing repairs.
    The collision is the latest in a summer of maritime debacles in Russia. In late July, an overloaded party boat rammed into a moored barge on the Moscow River, sinking on the spot and killing nine people. Earlier that month, the Bulgaria riverboat capsized and sank, claiming the lives of 122.

  • Group asks regulators not to permit third reactor at North Anna
    www2.timesdispatch.com
    An environmental group has asked federal regulators to consider the earthquake that shut down North Anna nuclear plant on Aug. 23 as new evidence that a third reactor should not be allowed at the power station in Louisa County.

    The Blue Ridge Environmental Defense League, along with its Peoples Alliance for Clean Energy chapter, filed a motion Thursday night with the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board to make the magnitude-5.8 quake part of a long-ranging legal dispute over possible construction of a third nuclear unit at North Anna.
