lol @lilly you been through those before
by dean 10/13/2011 11:59:39 AM

@dean Been through the Chinese variety. TEPCO's looks like the Chinese variety. :-)

In actuality, if another severe quake happens, tepco will have to evacuate the site because of high radiation levels.
by Peter 10/13/2011 12:03:00 PM

agree @ Peter
by dean 10/13/2011 12:04:05 PM

@lilly...if you look over the past 2-3 years and add up the threats we've made to IRAN ... they ignore them and go on ... RUBBER SABER

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called the thwarted scheme a "dangerous escalation" in Iran's "long-standing use of political violence and sponsorship of terrorism." She said the U.S. will work closely with its international partners "to increase Iran's isolation and the pressure on its government."..... HIllarys famous quote.. "will work closely with it's international partners"... the latest phrase used heavily is "ASSETS"... this will be interesting to follow

@dean @Peter thank you for the fire drill explanation, it's really a joke. :)
by Edano 10/13/2011 12:11:08 PM

Give it 6 months and Iran will nuke itself if the reports about Bushehr are correct.
by lillymunster 10/13/2011 12:12:45 PM

your welcome @ Edano
by dean 10/13/2011 12:13:51 PM

Iran will work it such that "if" monetary aide is given to them they will try to do a better job,,, billions later.. still the same
by dean 10/13/2011 12:14:55 PM

@lillymunster , I studied the stuxnet issue a little. They are still a few years away. No doubt, they will fulfill their ambition one day. One German expert said resignedly, the only policy that is left is containment, like with North Korea.
by Peter 10/13/2011 12:16:17 PM

they still are looking for saddam's mass destruction weapons ..... maybe in iran ?

@Peter nuke technology is much more than just energy, as we can see.
by Edano 10/13/2011 12:18:16 PM

This whole affair sounds like such stupid, lop-sided plot. I wonder whether we shall ever learn the truth of this story.
by Peter 10/13/2011 12:19:58 PM

the german media unanimously stresses that there is no real evidence for the iranian assessination attempt. i don't think obama should try to walk in bush's footsteps. he should be cleverer.
by Edano 10/13/2011 12:21:33 PM

@Edano , this is certainly true for the U.S. There would be no civilian program of such dimension and deep government investment without the military program.
by Peter 10/13/2011 12:21:48 PM

be back in a bit..
by dean 10/13/2011 12:22:36 PM

@Edano , this could also easily be the mad idea of some rogue Pasdaran officer in an attempt of furthering his career ambitions. Who knows?
by Peter 10/13/2011 12:23:30 PM

Did anyone see this hot spot in Tokyo from yesterday. Really odd, the area it was in had very low or no radiation in the ward but the hot spot is pretty intense ex-skf.blogspot.com
by lillymunster 10/13/2011 12:24:11 PM

...or an intrigue inside the Pasdaran to smear and sideline someone.
by Peter 10/13/2011 12:25:19 PM

@Peter the whole story does sound a bit odd.
by lillymunster 10/13/2011 12:26:58 PM

@lillymunster , I anticipated such hot spots, since it happened in Belarus. The airborne particulate drops in clumps.
by Peter 10/13/2011 12:27:32 PM

@lillymunster i posted some fotos of the hotspots further down.
by Edano 10/13/2011 12:28:15 PM

english.kyodonews.jp they use rulers to measure the radiation :)
by Edano via English.kyodonews.jp 10/13/2011 12:29:11 PM

@Peter they cleaned the sidewalk and it didn't really do much. They were considering ripping out the plants and wall. They said it might have been rainwater collection but really were not sure. I'm not familiar with the hot spot patterns in Belarus. Sounds like something worth exploring. Could be the next likely problem to tackle.
by lillymunster 10/13/2011 12:29:49 PM

Looking at Edano's pictures. The one shows the fence the plants are on. It is old wood that is dried out. That gets really porous. I would bet they got a hot spot and the fence absorbed lots of the water rather than having it run off.
by lillymunster 10/13/2011 12:32:57 PM

yahoo says the radiation stems from a "bottle" in a house, not from fukushima: dailynews.yahoo.co.jp translate.google.de
by Edano 10/13/2011 12:35:10 PM

I wonder if the children's theme park in Chiba is at Disney. Someone on twitter posted about finding radiation on tables outside at the park.

Setagaya, Tokyo "hot spots" on the origin of the Fukushima nuclear accident may not
フジテレビ系（FNN） 10月13日(木)19時12分配信 Fuji TV (FNN) , October 13 (Thu), 12:19 minutes delivery

東京・世田谷区の保坂区長は、世田谷区弦巻歩道で比較的線量の高い、いわゆる「ホットスポット」が確認されたことについて、13日夕方に会見を開き、福島原発事故の由来ではない可能性があることを明らかにした。 Hosaka in Setagaya ward, Tokyo, a relatively high dose helical Setagaya sidewalk, so-called "hot spot" was found about, held a press conference on the evening of November 13, derived from the Fukushima nuclear accident may not revealed that.
世田谷区の保坂区長は「床下の段ボール箱の中に瓶類と思われるものがありました。こちらの方に計測器を振り向けると、大変高い数字を示す。あるいは、計測器の計測限度を超える」と話した。 Hosaka's Setagaya ward is "There was a bottle of what appears to be unique in the cardboard box under the floor. And here I direct the instrument, indicating a very high number. Or beyond the limits of measurement instruments "he said.
保坂区長によると、住宅の床下から高い放射線量が測定され、床下には、ビン類が入った段ボールが置かれていたという。 According to the Mayor Hosaka, high radiation doses are measured from the floor of the house, the floor is that the cardboard had been placed bottles containing class. translate.google.de

Lilly, I remember seeing maps of Belarus pocked with islands of very elevated contamination. That of course also holds on a small scale, like a field or a neighborhood.
by Peter 10/13/2011 12:37:14 PM

WTH? How could a bottle cause that big of a hot spot on the sidewalk?

Radioactive material from a house in Setagaya
October 13, 18:45
東京・世田谷区の区道の一部から高い放射線量が検出されたことを受けて、世田谷区が専門の業者に委託して隣接する住宅を調べた結果、家の床下に置かれていた段ボール箱の中にあった瓶から極めて高い放射線量が検出されたということです。 In response to a high dose of radiation was detected from a portion of the road in Setagaya Ward, Tokyo, examined the neighboring house and outsourced to a professional Setagaya, cardboard had been placed under the floor of the house is that a very high dose of radiation was detected from the bottle was in the box. 世田谷区は周辺の高い放射線量は原発事故ではなく、この瓶の中の物質が原因だった可能性があるとして、さらに詳しく調べています。 Setagaya is a high radiation doses around nuclear accident is not, as might have been caused by this substance in the bottle has been studied in more detail.

So now we must look for bottles with contaminated water placed by anti-nuke groups around the country to produce hot spots? Nonsense!
