@elainekirk I had thought maybe using that, I need to see if it had good search features. That is the big reason I want to put all of my photo editing and everything we have gathered in one spot is so people can search keywords and pull up related photos. So a picture of the refueling crane in unit 3 would show up in a search for unit 3 and also in a search for refueling crane.

Good morning, Dean, Lilly, Elaine. Something else caught my eye. If I understood the report correctly, tepco's estimated airborne releases are based on inverse projections from readings of the one monitoring post indicated by the black dot on this map. i1214.photobucket.com

@Peter so they don't have the eastward fallout ?

@elainekirk hi elaine i'm back. two more stents now in my coronaries. :)
by Edano 10/8/2011 1:43:24 PM

I hope I misunderstood, edano. This table shows the diminutions in estimated releases of cesium and iodine isotopes. i1214.photobucket.com

RT @ikrockhopper: In the Germany ZDF TV's documentary, three Fukushima workers talked about their work and inhumane work conditions. t.co

Edano, I hope you will be back to good old shape soon, :)
So this is a semi-log plot and the linear decay for airborne iodine conforms with its radioactive decay. By contrast, the cesium plots do not make any sense. Why should the radioactivity of the cesium isotopes drop this drastically in July and August? Where did the stuff go? It does not vanish in thin air? Perhaps it did, the wind drove it away from the monitoring post.

@Peter isn't it possible that the "cold shutdown" decreased the emissions ?

Found this in the new images. Trying to determine if the piece sticking up is steel sheet or concrete panel.

@Edano , hahaha! I would just extrapolate the line before 120 days. It is more realistic to assume that the effluent from the three units has been constant over the past two months and will only change, once tepco finishes its gazebo over unit 1.

seems that this yesterday's quake moved the corium again. 422 Sv/hr in #1 drywell B yesterday.

@Edano , the table of isotopes shows quite clearly that tepco is able to determine which isotopes provide the increases in dose.

by Peter 10/8/2011 2:11:18 PM

blogs.nature.com @ Peter this article has some values and also discussions on how they were estimated or calculated, the graph showing the decays of I and Cs do not make sense based on the decay times for I at 8 days and Cs at 30 years

QWuick question from rockhopper yes or no Q. can blood tests determine thyroid problems
by elainekirk 10/8/2011 2:14:39 PM

I am not surprised if that image was put together with a cut and paste and then look at the wording on EQ.. ."an" earthquake... could be any earth quake
by dean 10/8/2011 2:14:47 PM

@ Edano.. I have my treadmill stress test on 10-20 to check my TICKER...maybe I will get a sint or two to speed me up..
by dean 10/8/2011 2:15:49 PM

@elaine, these blood tests used to be done with radioimmunoessays or RIAs for short using radioactive iodine, ;)
by Peter 10/8/2011 2:18:19 PM

@elainekirk blood tests can show certain thyroid problems. There are a series of test that can show function, level of antibodies and how much thyroid hormones are being produced. That is how they determine most hypothyroidism, hashimotos disase and graves disease.

@dean all my electrocardios and echoes always are fine, but when it comes to coronar angiographia, they always find a stenosis. :(
by Edano 10/8/2011 2:20:01 PM

@Edano do you know what the difference is between thyroid tumors that develop from Hashimotos vs. the kind that would develop from iodine 131 exposure or are the identical with different causes?

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — A volcano in Alaska's remote Aleutian Islands has begun oozing lava, a signal that the mountain could explode and send up an ash cloud that could threaten aircraft.

Satellite images show lava is building in the crater at the summit of 5,675-foot Cleveland Mountain on an uninhabited island about 940 miles southwest of Anchorage, according to the Alaska Volcano Observatory.
