Sweden NPP sounds like turbine building. Can we get more confirmation on that one though?

The swedish reactor fire was Oct 23. Minor and from an oil leak

Hi Bo!

Such good news about the large protest in Fukuoka! Of course everyone here says Kyushu people are much more outspoken.

@bo William got some great video of it.
by lillymunster 11/14/2011 3:53:55 AM

Agreed. He is doing great work. Also, posted the video of Makana at APEC and talking about the experience on Organize.

・10/14 12:32 pm The alarm device of the post at the main gate was activated. The cause for this was specified
as a clog in the filter. At 1:08 pm on the same day we reset the device and restarted
monitoring. The dust concentration around the main gate was 6 * 10-6
(Bq/cm3) and was below the designated point 1 * 10-4(Bq/cm3) at which full face masks are required. The order that was
announced at 12:39 pm to wear full face masks was withdrawn at 2:11 pm

From rockhopper
Here are the Fukushima worker's tweets on the TV shooting on site.
1) As he thought, there was no reactor building pictures.
2) He thought twice that he would die. First, on 3.11 at the quake, he
was on the operation floor of R4. He got soaked with the water from
the pool, and it was completely dark. Second, at the R3 explosion, he
was in R2 building. He stayed for a while there, but thought that he
would die if another explosion occur. He ran up for life the slope of
the mountain side.
3) At the time, fuel (of R4?) was all moved into SFP. On the operation
floor, shroud replacement was going on. Core internals were taken out
already, and the water inside the reactor would have be emptied five
days after. Actually the plan ran behind at that time. But, if the
reactor were empty and SFP and DSP gate was broken, Japan would have
been over.
4) He didn't watch TV until the 16th, because he was working. While
Yoshida director and others thought that we all would die (yet kept
working), Edano said on TV, "Evacuate just in case." He didn't know
that. He thought at that time that at least people living in 100km
radius evacuated.

Monju reactor's lab unused
Photo taken on Nov. 11, 2011, shows the inside of a laboratory affiliated with the Monju prototype fast-breeder reactor, in Tokaimura, Ibaraki Prefecture. The lab, designed to develop new nuclear fuel recycling technology, has been unused since its construction was suspended in 2000 following several accidents, prompting the Board of Audit of Japan to call on Nov. 14, 2011, for the operator of the Monju reactor to find a use for it. Some 83 billion yen has already been spent on it. (Kyodo) english.kyodonews.jp

Fukushima children have thyroid check
Children and parents wait for their turn on Nov. 14, 2011, in Kawamata, Fukushima Prefecture, where doctors checked the thyroids of children in the area. The operation is part of a project to conduct health tests on all the approximately 360,000 children and youths aged 18 or younger in the prefecture to see if the nuclear disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi power plant has affected the gland, which in growing children is particularly vulnerable to damage by radiation.
