Astonishing that the Cameron govt. is doubling down on Sellafield
by bo 10/10/2011 2:20:54 AM

@bo hadn't seen that. There was an article yesterday about the UK going forward with more nukes.

@Peter I guess my frustration stems from the fact that it seems like bureacratic double-speak coming from the lips of the NRC. In my mind, the Nuclear Power Industry seems to be have been sucked into the area of "creative engineering"...much in the way Lehman Brothers was sucked into the area of "creative accounting"...

They have to cut every service for the poor, triple or more university costs, but they got money for Sellafield

The UK has had a small run of upper class twit professors claiming they have no ties to the nuke industry or the govt but then make insane easy to debunk statements how nuclear fallout is just grand and good for people. :-(

@smoss , I agree. The overarching issue of this century is RISK ASSESSMENT.
by Peter 10/10/2011 2:29:50 AM

@Peter luck and hope are not proper risk assessment, someone needs to tell Jazcko this.
by lillymunster 10/10/2011 2:31:09 AM

@lillymunster well it seems RISK ASSESSMENT in favor of SHAREHOLDER VALUE.
by Peter 10/10/2011 2:32:48 AM

@lillymunster , we should find this statement. Some expert testifying before Congress in April stated that Fukushima was the best evidence that hardened vents were unnecessary because they did not work.

@all Must say "Bye" for now...Thanks, again, for the fantastic input and research! Be Well!

@Peter Elaine may have gone off to bed? If I don't find it tonight I will see if she can get on it tomorrow?
by lillymunster 10/10/2011 2:41:31 AM

@Peter, found this, doesn't seem to say that but from April. Will keep looking

Lilly, I dug up a Senate Briefing on March 29, in which that could have been said. Shall look into that tomorrow. Good night everyone as well.

This guy made the exact same statement about venting word for word as Jaczko pbadupws.nrc.gov

Senator Markey to Congress:
Most recently, three days before the Japanese earthquake and tsunami, I sent a letter to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission urging it not to approve the Westinghouse AP1000 design for a new nuclear reactor because one of its longest-serving top scientists had warned that its containment dome could “shatter like a glass cup” under sufficient stress and that the model used to simulate its resiliency to an earthquake was unrealistic. markey.house.gov

Just realized I made a mistake about the steaming video released on Sept 24. I just noticed that the handout for that video www.tepco.co.jp says it was taken on August 24, and according to Tepco that was before the core bottom feel to 100˚C. So we can't say the core was below boiling while water was being boiled.
I just wonder if that August 24 was a typo for Sept 24. Also, did anyone save that file just in case the date got changed?

@bojack54 why do we keep going with nuke what drives people to endanger on this level?
by elainekirk 10/10/2011 7:38:00 AM

The Hanford deal is one of the biggest boondoggles in human history -- and it isn't going to work.
by bojack54 10/10/2011 7:44:36 AM

@bojack54 like fuku they are experimenting whoever comes up with the best sales pitchh gets the contract
by elainekirk 10/10/2011 8:04:16 AM

Hi @elainekirk and @bojack54, back for a while. I'm sure you are right @bojack54, $$$$$. If someone can walk away with a fortune, in their minds it is someone else's problem. And if the govt. can get public money in private hands, all the better from their point of view.

nobody noticed that ?
