Flash: CNN NRC approves licenses for Southern's twin Westinghouse AP1000 #nuclear reactors at Vogtle site in Georgia

@elaine.. I saw that.. gunderson also had a document that was sent to the NRC questioning the AP1000 DESIGN.. I posted it in here yesterday

walking the dogs back soon

@dean hard to say exact numbers. There seems to be many families that had a foreign connection (extended family living outside Japan) left the country. It sounds like many moved to Niigata after fleeing there right after the accident started. Lots of expats have left. Chiba is seeing such a flight of population it is causing problems for the area now.

@dean The AP1000. I read the document you posted. It seems those questions are still now answered? There is a group of 9 groups filing a federal court injunction against the AP1000 approvals.

@lilly.. clearing a decision to hold off any talks of issuing an operating license or a permission to construct. They already have been investing in site preparations. IT'S a stinky mess

The reactor in Budapest, when I was researching the first incident I found that the rad spikes had been going on for over a year. I think that thing had been leaking for a while. Why they let them restart without better assurances the problem was solved or more monitoring?

mdn.mainichi.jp Japanese government has demanded the early return of five facilities and areas controlled by United States forces in Okinawa, underscoring its efforts to lessen the military burden on residents of the southernmost prefecture.

Japan made the demand during Feb. 6 talks in Washington between Japan-U.S. defense and foreign affairs officials focused on the roadmap for the realignment of U.S. forces in the country, seeking their return ahead of the planned relocation of U.S. Marine Corps Air Station Futenma in Ginowan.

mdn.mainichi.jp temporary storage site for radioactive waste generated under a model decontamination project around the disaster-struck Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant was unveiled to reporters on Feb. 9.

To prevent radioactive materials from contaminating groundwater, temporary disposal sites are lined with waterproof sheets. Materials produced in the decontamination operation -- including earth and plant matter -- are categorized, packed into thick bags and lifted into the disposal site by crane.

"We are building these (temporary disposal) sites in such a way that, even when full of waste, radiation levels won't rise in the surrounding area," a Japan Atomic Energy Agency official in charge of the operation stated

very good question @ lilly

@dean a bit early for birds?

BOOTING MYSELF OFF TO THE GYM.. be back later..

@elainekirk yea if we can set a "bot" account to auto tweet new article. The problem is it needs to no tweet peer review posts. I think that was the problem before, it was tweeting everything? So if we did a peer review post of not ready for consumption data it would get tweeted. There might be a way around it? Maybe Veenie knows?

@lillymunster ah I see will carry on tweeting hen

@elainekirk I think we are the only people covering it. I saw nothing in the news at all

@lillymunster eeek lilly I can try but it ain't my strong point

till more work” to be done to-- are the speech marks in the right place
