Someone call for the duct tape technicians?

One of the workers complained recently about still using lots of plastic pipe and flimsy hose for the temporary water systems.

I recently read an article on Chernobyl and the 'pinhole leaks' was also mentioned.

he leaks too much.
by Edano 11/20/2011 1:26:19 AM

no pin hole leak here!

A new classic example of someone discovering that the hot rain they've been testing is radon, not Fukushima fallout. The 30-minute half life is the give away.

@MaryW wow BS propaganda from a power company in Japan! :-)
by lillymunster 11/20/2011 1:47:16 AM

@lillymunster I am just still watching the video below that article of the Kyoto University student getting all upset with the 'fake scientist'. I am upset myself now, how can some of these poor Japanese people live a normal life as they did before 3/11

Architect of Reactor 3 warns of massive hydrovolcanic explosion. Architect of Fukushima Daiichi Reactor 3, Uehara Haruo, the former president of Saga University had an interview on 11/17/2011.

In this interview, he admitted Tepco’s explanation does not make sense, and that the China syndrome is inevitable.

He stated that considering 8 months have passed since 311 without any improvement, it is inevitable that melted fuel went out of the container vessel and sank underground, which is called China syndrome. fukushima-diary.com

the people quoting the constitution rules for an end to NPP in Japan have a pretty valid argument.

Nuclear Event in MultiCountries on Friday, 11 November, 2011 at 15:22 (03:22 PM) UTC.

Updated: Saturday, 19 November, 2011 at 05:45 UTC
Description
The Hungarian Atomic Energy Authority is setting up a committee to assess the causes of higher-than-usual amount of iodine emitted from an isotope plant in Csilleberc in the Budapest hills, the authority’s director Jozsef Ronaky told MTI on Friday. "In the nuclear profession, conclusions must be drawn after every unusual event," Ronaky said. The committee will include members delegated by the atomic energy authority, the heads of the plant and representatives of the government and other authorities, he added. The event will be assessed from professional, government and communication aspects, Ronaky said. The International Atomic Energy Agency on Thursday said that the source of higher-than-usual radioactive iodine detected in Europe was an institute in Budapest. IAEA said it had been informed by the Hungarian Atomic Energy Authority that iodine-131 had been released from the Isotope Institute in Csilleberc. "The levels of Iodine-131 that have been detected in Europe are extremely low. There is no health concern to the population." the IAEA said. The National Disaster Management Authority said that the iodine-131 isotope which had been released through the chimney of an isotope plant in Csilleberc in the Buda hills was not the cause of higher-than-usual iodine concentration reported from the Czech Republic and other parts of Europe. The company’s CEO Jozsef Kornyei earlier said that "there has not been any extraordinary event. A certain amount is always emitted. In this case, however, it was higher than expected." The Isotope Institute, the company that runs the laboratory, noted that amounts of iodine 131 released through the chimney had increased during the first half of 2011 but they were below the permissible level, he said. hisz.rsoe.hu

Nuclear Event in MultiCountries on Friday, 11 November, 2011 at 15:22 (03:22 PM) UTC.

Updated: Saturday, 19 November, 2011 at 07:20 UTC
Description
The IAEA has received information from the Hungarian Atomic Energy Authority (HAEA) that the source of the iodine-131 (I-131) detected in Europe was most probably a release to the atmosphere from the Institute of Isotopes Ltd., Budapest. The Institute of Isotopes Ltd. produces radioisotopes for healthcare, research and industrial applications. According to the HAEA, the release occurred from September 8 to November 16, 2011. The cause of the release is under investigation. As previously mentioned, the levels of I-131 that have been detected in Europe are extremely low. There is no health concern to the population. If any member of the public were to breathe iodine for a whole year at the levels measured in European countries, then they would receive a dose in the range of 0.01 microsieverts for the year. To put this into perspective, the average annual background is 2400 microsieverts per year. The IAEA was first notified of the presence of trace levels of I-131 by authorities from the Czech Republic on 11 November. hisz.rsoe.hu

Here's another example of the real harm the "Fukushima fallout in the U.S." fear-mongers are doing to people. This distraught mother believes her daughter in the U.S. has just suffered radiation burns from Fukushima fallout in the rain because of the charlatans misleading people to believe there are horrendous amounts of fallout in the rain.

wow. the uploader comments are incoherent

by lillymunster 11/20/2011 5:44:15 AM

@lillymunster, this poor woman is near tears at the end of the video. We saw the video the other day of the father keeping his kids in from the 'deadly Fukushima snow' in the US. I've been following the pseudo-science, slight-of-hand and crackpot BS of the few fear mongers driving vulnerable people to literally to tears and unwarranted fears. I'm have to do a smackdown video asap!
