arnie has good points. dumping nuclear waste in tokyo bay sounds like something a super villain would do. those working on site are probably getting historically high doses after chernobyl. how can accident be contained when containments dont contain gases or water??by artnuke 12/30/2011 12:07:59 PM- I have a pile of news to go through, will do so in a few. need coffee firstby lillymunster 12/30/2011 12:08:16 PM

Trying to think what could be involved that would allow the interior of the sub to burn so long. The entire thing should be out of steel minus things like cable insulation.by lillymunster 12/30/2011 12:38:22 PM

Influence of the Internet in Japan has risen this year at a stretch. This time last year, but it almost did not believe the press has also raised the topic of Twitter and Facebook. We got a great power. Media can transmit truth to know the truth.

- Fire in Russia [Asia] on Thursday, 29 December, 2011 at 18:46 (06:46 PM) UTC.
Updated: Friday, 30 December, 2011 at 07:20 UTC Nine people were injured when a huge fire engulfed a Russian nuclear submarine as it was being repaired, Interfax news agency reported Friday, but officials said all weapons had been removed and there was no radiation risk. Firefighters launched a massive operation to douse the flames after the blaze broke ... A special helicopter also doused the flames with tonnes of water from above, the Murmansk region's TV-21 channel reported. "I would say the flames reached about 10 metres (over 30 feet) ... a criminal probe had been launched into the "reckless destruction or damage of military assets"... ---- In a separate incident involving the military Thursday, a Sukhoi 24 fighter jet crashed on landing in the southern region of Volgograd, although both pilots managed to eject and were unharmed hisz.rsoe.huby MaryW 12/30/2011 2:15:01 PM - Iodine-131 in eastern US may have exceeded EPA limit. December 29.2011 We first detected airborne fission products in Chapel Hill between 20:00 UTC on March 18, 2011, and 20:00 UTC on March 19, 2011. We measured a maximum activity of 4.2 ± 0.6 mBq/m3 of 131I in the interval between March 29, 2011 and March 30, 2011. [...] As the study notes, the 4.2 mBq/m3 figure “accounts for only about 50% of the total 131I in the air” as only particulate species were collected. Therefore, around 8.4 mBq/m3 was likely in the air, which exceeds the EPA limit of 7.8 mBq/m3.
enenews.comby MaryW 12/30/2011 2:24:57 PM - April 11.2011 News: The risks associated with iodine-131 contamination in Europe are no longer "negligible," according to CRIIRAD, a French research body on radioactivity. The NGO is advising pregnant women and infants against "risky behaviour," such as consuming fresh milk or vegetables with large leaves. The document, published on 7 April, translate.google.com advises against consuming rainwater and says vulnerable groups such as children and pregnant or breastfeeding women should avoid consuming vegetables with large leaves, fresh milk and creamy cheese. CRIIRAD says... not limited to the situation in France and is applicable to other European countries, as the level of air contamination is currently the same in Belgium, Germany, Italy and Switzerland. Data for the west coast of the United States, which received the Fukushima radioactive fallout 6-10 days before France, reveals that levels of radioactive iodine-131 concentration are 8-10 times higher there, the institute says. www.euractiv.comby MaryW 12/30/2011 2:52:03 PM

by Ian 12/30/2011 2:54:11 PM- The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff has determined that fuel oil tank rooms serving the Brunswick nuclear plant’s emergency diesel generators were not properly protected from possible flooding, a finding of “low to moderate safety significance” that will result in increased NRC inspection and oversight of the facility
The NRC concluded that the violation at Brunswick involved the failure to identify and correct conditions in the fuel oil tank rooms that made them susceptible to flooding during hurricanes is “white,” having “low to moderate safety significance.”
g, Brunswick officials have installed new sealant material to close the openings on the oil tank rooms, and barriers have also been erected to limit possible wave run-up to the facilities

#Radioactive Car Emitting Over 30 Microsieverts/Hr in Musashino City in Tokyo Was Returned to Fukushima
The owner of the car got it from his friend in July and the car was from (guess where) the 20-kilometer radius "no entry zone" in Fukushima Prefecture. Unofficially, there were "rumors" (i.e. not reported in the media) during the summer that people were hired to go and retrieve vehicles inside the 20-kilometer zone. There were also "rumors" of sudden deaths among people who were doing exactly that. ex-skf.blogspot.comby MaryW 12/30/2011 5:01:06 PM - Interesting review of the lack of a nuclear renaissance cleantechnica.comby lillymunster 12/30/2011 5:24:11 PM

TEPCO's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident at the time, TEPCO employees for these vehicles contaminated with high concentrations have to park in the primary site was failing to properly manage TEPCO. Some of them on the market or used car, they have a vehicle that can cause problems between neighbors. Experts' car is a high radiation dose, and debris should treat similarly occurred on the premises "has said.
According to the Tokyo Electric Power Public Relations, J Village from March 23 to 12 days after the earthquake (city 楢葉 Fukushima, Hirono town) began testing and decontamination of radiation in vehicles over a certain level of radiation dose outside 出Senaku was, before that it was possible to bring a car without checking the primary site. When the earthquake, in 5660 nuclear power company employees who were working with TEPCO employees 755 people. After the accident brought the number of vehicles parked cars and the workers were "not aware" of.
In June, auto repair shop was asked to repair the Fukushima Prefecture of TEPCO employees, "I measured 279 micro Sievert per hour in a car near the windshield wiper. What, what this car is out of the nuclear power plants" and anger, held out a photo when measured. Suppose if exposed for 12 minutes a day, year-round exposure (exposure), the amount, but more than 20 mSv per year prompting the evacuation of the national guideline. www.asahi.comby lillymunster 12/30/2011 7:12:22 PM- Ooops!
