The Dept. of Energy's Oak Ridge office today announced that the first shipment of U-233 to Nevada had been completed, signaling the start of a years-long effort to empty the fissile material stored at a World War II-era facility at ORNL.
According to DOE, the six canisters contained small Zero Power Reactor plates that will be used in future tests at the National Criticality Experiments Research Center at the Nevada National Security Site. The experiments center is located within the high-security Device Assembly Facility.

Dennis Hill, a spokesman for UCOR, the Department of Energy's environmental manager in Oak Rdige, said a transducer malfunction related to cold temperatures apparently caused a large feed tank to overflow.

By David Worthington | January 8, 2012, 6:12 PM PST
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is taking a years long methodical approach to advanced nuclear safety in the United States while other nations, including France and Japan, are acting more expeditiously...The task force will create discrete goals to address the lessons NRC learned from the Fukushima disaster before it requires U.S. plant operators to take any specific actions, said spokesperson Scoot Burnell. Those advancements will be completed within five years, and plant operators will have additional time to conform to the new requirements. www.smartplanet.comby M.I.A. 1/9/2012 3:40:26 AM - Free health care for your kids if you stay in Fukushima

Prime Minister on August 8, Yoshihiko Noda, TEPCO's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident, "declared converged" Fukushima visited the first time since then. Prime Minister about health care costs under 18 free of the prefecture, "let you have taken a very important issue" and told reporters, expressing ideas to consider. Plans to continue to adjust the regime.
What medical expenses under 18 free, Fukushima Prefecture are looking for. Radiation (exposure) that displaced children from outside the province to concerns, and aim to prevent the outflow of the population. On this day, again requested a meeting with Prime Minister Noda Gov. Yuhei Sato.
Costs are estimated at nearly 10 billion yen a year. However, the reconstruction of the government headquarters, "difficult to delineate, would also make significant financial burden if you include cold" (executive), but the negative. Council play in the reconstruction Fukushima 08, Prime Minister "There are also a variety of opinions within the government.'s Difficult," he said that. www.asahi.comby lillymunster 1/9/2012 3:40:57 AM - Letter Japanese scientist wrote to US nuclear experts asking for help caring for fishermen exposed during the Bikini Atoll bombs. english.kyodonews.jpby lillymunster 1/9/2012 4:05:37 AM

Radiation does not affect people that are...
HAPPY
From the governments advisor on radiation to
the question: Can you guarantee we aren't all going
to get cancer?
When asked to speak the truth he said:
"I can't. It's simply a matter of probability.
Nothing is certain
Nobody can guarantee your safety
I can only ask you to feel safe
That is important
I can't control science
and science isn't perfect
There will always be errors"

Construction of nuclear power plant in Fukushima = 1 in cardiopulmonary arrest and transport workers - TEPCO
Tokyo Electric Power Co. on Friday announced that it fell on the afternoon of 60 male workers were engaged in cooperative enterprises in the construction of a sludge storage facility containing radioactive material in the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant. Workers lost consciousness, was transported to総合磐城共立病院Iwaki City in cardiopulmonary arrest.
Workers injected concrete had been working day in the morning. Radiation exposure of 0.052 mSv in the day, adhering to the body there was no radioactive material. (2012/01/09-19: 59)

The radiation across the USA has been an abomination for the past few months. Is this all from Japan or is there another cause? www.tsunamioftears.com
You can see all the graphs on one page here blog.alexanderhiggins.comby deb via Tsunamioftears edited by Deb 1/9/2012 2:28:14 PM- From TEPCO daily reports:
- At 2:22 pm on January 9, 2012, at the Spent Sludge Storage Facility (*)
which is under construction, a partner company's worker who had been
engaged in concrete placement work reported his physical disorder. He was
carried to the emergency medical room of Unit 5/6 and received medical
treatment. Because he was in cardiopulmonary arrest, he was carried from
Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station to Iwaki Kyouritsu Hospital at
3:25 pm. No radioactive materials were found to be attached to the worker's
body.
* Spent Sludge Storage Facility: The facility to store radioactive waste
(spent sludge), which is produced during the process of accumulated
water treatment, on a temporary basis. www.tepco.co.jp
Unit 2:
At 10:04 am on January 9, 2012, because the replacement work of the water
injection piping arrangement from the water feed system in association
with the trial run of reactor injection pump in Turbine Building has been
completed, we have adjusted the amount of injected water to the reactor
gradually. For the amount of injected water to the reactor, we adjusted
water injection from the reactor feed water system from approx. 1.7 m3/h
to 3.0 m3/h, and water injection from the core spray system for approx.
8.1 m3/h to 7.0 m3/h.

How I spent my Sunday in Fukushima blog.safecast.orgby Deb 1/9/2012 2:34:12 PM- @deb
They need to compare a time period vs. the same time period the previous year or months before FUKU to get a clear idea what ones have actual spikes. Some sites always have lots of high readings even before fuku. What is maybe worse than possible high radiation is how many monitors are offline right now.by lillymunster 1/9/2012 2:37:03 PM - @lillymunster Yes, noticed all the offline areas, that bothers me too. Have a pregnant daughter in Portland and it pains me that it is offline, arrr! I can go back through my photos, I took a ton of snapshots back in April and May. It seems to me that the readings now are much, much worse than they were in the 2-3 months after the accident.by Deb 1/9/2012 2:43:02 PM
- TEPCO singled out 10 key lawmakers for fund-raisers
... and industry minister Yukio Edano were among the 10 lawmakers most favored by TEPCO in buying tickets to their fund-raisers
ajw.asahi.comby VesaVA 1/9/2012 2:50:41 PM - @Deb Comparisons would be good. There should be a way to pull up a reading for a station for maybe Jan-March of 2011. That should give a really good contrast to see if the readings are actually up above pre-Fuku levels. I know the station in Pierre SD is always high. The one in Rapid City is malfunctioning. If you find something that looks like we really are increasing in the US let me know we can start pulling together data.
The contractor that is managing the stations needs to get fired. There seems to be even more offline than right after fuku. Some have the gamma meter working but so many don't have the beta reader working. We are paying these people and they are simply not doing their job.by lillymunster 1/9/2012 2:55:41 PM - @lillymunster I will plow through the photos later today or tonight, and see what I come up with. Bakersfield & San Jose are also typically very high.by Deb 1/9/2012 2:59:11 PM

- @Deb let me know what you find. I had done some looking at stations and made notes back in maybe October? That was when I noticed all the stations being offline. I think there are more now offline.by lillymunster 1/9/2012 3:00:31 PM

- @lillymunster so true, the news about Fukushima II threw me into a tailspin this morning.by Deb 1/9/2012 3:04:18 PM
- @Deb This has huge implications in the US also. The units at Daini are all ABWR units and the nuke industry keeps claiming they are safer.by lillymunster 1/9/2012 3:05:47 PM
