  • Insane. The amount of space they will need to store the used cesium filters is HUGE. They will be doing this for another 10 years and this doesn't even include whatever they will use to filter out everything else.... ex-skf.blogspot.com

  • @M.I.A. they had a 4.7 quake right in the same area earlier today earthquake.usgs.gov

    The 4.7 was quite a bit further north

    Does anyone know where I can pull the newest quake data so I can post it to the website? USGS didn't seem to have it yet

    Kim Jong Un's apparent sister seen among mourners

    There is speculation that a young woman who was seen paying her respects to the late North Korean leader Kim Jong Il on Wednesday may be the sister of the new leader Kim Jong Un.

    Korean Central Television aired footage of Kim Jong Un greeting people as they arrived at the Kumsusan palace in Pyongyang where Kim Jong Il is lying in state.

    The footage shows an unidentified woman standing behind Kim Jong Un. She is the only woman among a group of top officials.

    A Tokyo-based news agency, Radio Press, which monitors North Korean media reports, says it is possible that she is a relative of Kim Jong Un.

    It says she appears to be a prominent person by the way she was seen bowing in front of the late Kim's coffin, standing slightly in front of the officials.

    A Japanese national who was the late Kim's cook for 13 years through 2001, Kenji Fujimoto, says the woman is Kim Jong Un's younger sister, Kim Yeo Jeong. He says he recognizes her by the shape of her face and her ears, and her stature. He says the brother and sister studied in Switzerland at the same time, and were close to each other.

    When Kim Jong Il greeted mourners at his father, Kim Il Sung's funeral in 1994, his younger sister, Kim Kyong Hui, was seen standing in a similar position behind him.

    Kim Kyong Hui eventually came to exercise strong influence over her brother. She and her husband, Jang Song Thaek, are now believed to be acting as Kim Jong Un's guardians.

  • RADIATION SICKNESS
    Symptoms
    By Mayo Clinic staff
    The severity of signs and symptoms of radiation sickness depends on how much radiation you've absorbed. How much you absorb depends on the strength of the radiated energy and the distance between you and the source of radiation. Absorbed dose and duration of exposure
    The absorbed dose of radiation is measured in a unit called a gray (Gy). Diagnostic tests that use radiation, such as an X-ray, result in a small dose of radiation — typically well below 0.1 Gy, focused on a few organs or small amount of tissue.

    Signs and symptoms of radiation sickness usually appear when the entire body receives an absorbed dose of at least 1 Gy. Doses greater than 6 Gy to the whole body are generally not treatable and usually lead to death within two days to two weeks, depending on the dose and duration of the exposure.
