German Police Hurt in Nuclear Demo. www.independent.ieby MaryW 11/27/2011 2:02:21 AM- U.S. to restart construction of N-reactors/Toshiba arm to deliver new model. www.yomiuri.co.jpby MaryW 11/27/2011 2:11:18 AM
This story isn't going away and now two fairly well known Japanese journalists are on it. This is the story that a 21 year old worker died at home from heart attack type problems. This version says he had 500 mSv of radiation from work. While the story wasn't getting much traction due to it sounding like a rumor this could fit with some of the workers doing heroic actions in March. We know a few likely got huge doses. translate.google.comby lillymunster 11/27/2011 3:17:14 AM

Anti-nuclear power rally in Germany
About 20,000 people gather at an anti-nuclear power rally in Dannenberg, northern Germany, on Nov. 26, 2011. The demonstrators are against the transportation of nuclear waste from France to a facility in Gorleben, near Dannenberg.

"Trap of Prometheus" Series Part 2 - Resignation of a Researcher: NISA Was About to Set Evacuation Zone Based on SPEEDI on March 11 Evening (1/4) : Reading the Part 2 of the series, it sure looks as if almost everything bad that happened afterwards could have been prevented if the politicians and bureaucrats on the initial (and crucial) 1st and 2nd days of the nuclear accident had acted to protect the public, which I think is their constitutional duty. Instead, they played games, a turf war as if this was just another ordinary day in Kasumigaseki. ex-skf.blogspot.comby Majj 11/27/2011 11:36:15 AM

- castor is moving again. due to stormy weather it will probably not possible to lift the castors on trucks in Danneberg today.by Edano 11/27/2011 12:34:46 PM
- i don't know why they did not construct a railway until gorleben, this would make the task easier. the trucks can be blocked much easier.by Edano 11/27/2011 12:36:54 PM

- Good morning, this story is a bit distant from tepco, but opens a window onto the unrespectable business practices of Japanese companies with highly respectable product lines like OLYMPUS. Reuters Exclusive: Key figure in Olympus scandal found in Hong Kong www.reuters.comby Peter 11/27/2011 3:07:23 PM
- @Peter the involvement of the Yakuza in the Olympus scandal has been major news in Japan but much of the misdeeds are all too familiar.by lillymunster 11/27/2011 3:11:45 PM
- I wish this independent media group would put their TV shows on YouTube with transcripts so we could translate. They seem to be doing the investigative journalism the regular JP media won't. www.ustream.tvby lillymunster 11/27/2011 3:15:31 PM
- @lillymunster , organized crime involvement stung my eye as well. I wonder whether the two bankers paid income tax on their 600 million dollars.by Peter 11/27/2011 3:16:37 PM

@Peter The Olympus case has been closely followed here in Portugal. The former director for Olympus Portugal had been sacked after he reported to the authorities a fraud within the company's Portuguese branch. So it was not only the Yakuza, because they don't operate in Portugal.by Pedro Jesus 11/27/2011 3:20:28 PM- @Pedro Jesus It sounded like the Yakuza involvement was in some of the larger misdeeds in Japan.by lillymunster 11/27/2011 3:23:09 PM

- Walmart's Japan stores (Seiyu) scored last in Greenpeace seafood radiation safety testing. Notice the fish tested are higher on the food chain and common internationally. Makes me wonder if the tuna ban in the Pacific by the US is a way to get around the radiation in fish without admitting it. www.fis.comby lillymunster 11/27/2011 3:35:24 PM
- Skipjack, one of the tuna tested has a large migration pattern as it seems does most other tuna species so our initial concern of contaminated seafood seems to be playing out. Those contaminated tuna off the Japan coast can easily then be caught in US waters. Skipjack is frequently used in US canned tuna and the US imports much of their catch rather than catching it themselves off US shores.

- Toshiba to restart experimental nuclear reactor translate.google.comby lillymunster 11/27/2011 4:05:16 PM
- In the Asahi Shimbun there are some government figures for cesium levels, in becquerels per square metre. The link address is as follows:
www.asahi.com
Afraid I am not so computer literate and don't know how to make the link interactive, as it were. Sorry. Anyway, the readings (for what they are worth) do make some kind of sense when I remember back to the wind patterns and how mountain ranges would have potentially influenced amounts deposited. For example, in western Japan Kochi 高知 has a reading of 73, while Ehime 愛媛 has one of 13.487. The lower reading in Ehime would possibly be explained by the Shikoku mountains acting as a rain/cesium(?) shadow. I remember when I was most worried about the wind coming to us was when it was shown doubling back north and coming in from the Pacific, which would of meant it went to Kochi then the central mountains and then Ehime. That Hiroshima 広島, further north again from Ehime (just across the Inland Sea) was low would seem to support this idea/guess. Lots of other possibilities and questions from these figures.by Will 11/27/2011 4:23:53 PM 
greetings to all... I have so much to catch up on ... I hope everyone is doing wellby dean 11/27/2011 4:26:06 PM- @lillymunster Any idea of the make of that experimental reactor? I've read that Toshiba and a company sponsored by the Bill & Melinda Gates foundation were talking about developing a new mini-reactor for developing countries that would only have to be refuelled every 100 years.by Pedro Jesus 11/27/2011 4:26:22 PM
