I agree with Mama, hi Mama!!

? How do you get one of those red pins? Do you have to ask a Moderator for it? Does someone decide what is red pin worthy?

HI Isis!!!

Good to see you!

Yes, AK, I think a mod has to upgrade it from pinned to perma-pinned.

Per another reader
If they vented the primary coolant, that water/steam is neutron bombarded (tritium contaminated) and radioactive. Three-Mile Island level incident.

Biological Hazard in Nepal on Sunday, 21 April, 2013 at 03:47 (03:47 AM) UTC.
Description
The highly pathogenic avian flu (H1N1) virus has been detected at one of the biggest poultry farms in Chitwan in a recent case of bird flu outbreak. Authorities have confirmed the disease at Laxmi Rana's poultry farm in Godrang of Bharatpur. The confirmation came after the outbreak claimed about 30,000 of the total 70,000 fowls at the farm. After the Central Veterinary Laboratory confirmed the disease, a rapid response team from the district livestock office of Chitwan and the National Bird Disease Research Laboratory reached the farm and started its operation from Friday night itself.

According to the sources, till Saturday afternoon, the team has culled 11,289 fowls at the three-storey farm building. They will start culling the remaining fowls in the two other floors of the building from Saturday evening and the farm will be cleaned by Sunday. Though a bird flu team had reached the poultry farm earlier upon receiving information from locals regarding a possible bird flu outbreak, the owner had refused to cooperate until April 15, when specimens of the dead fowls were sent to the Central Livestock Laboratory for test. According to NBDRL chief Bodhnath Adhikari, besides Rana's farm the disease has also been detected at Rajendra Hamal's farm in Mangalpur. Over 3,200 fowls have reportedly been culled and 260 kg chicken feed and 240 eggs were destroyed at Hamal's farm on Friday night itself. Meanwhile, small poultry farm operators have accused big farm owners of being reluctant to report any outbreak to authorities fearing great loss. "In case there is an outbreak they don't inform the concerned authorities and manage the dead fowls themselves," they alleged.

While office senior veterinary of the district livestock office Dr Tej Bahadur Rijal is leading the rapid response team, Dr Dayaram Chapagain of NBDRL is in charge of the surveillance team. Regarding the recent outbreak, Chief District Officer Himnath Dawadi urged commoners to take precautions to stay safe. Chitwan, the biggest hub for production of chicken, boasts of 60 per cent of the total chicken produce in the country. It is said there are over two million fowls kept in the various poultry farms of the district.
Biohazard name: H1N1 (highly pathogenic avian flu)
Biohazard level: 4/4 Hazardous
Biohazard desc.: Viruses and bacteria that cause severe to fatal disease in humans, and for which vaccines or other treatments are not available, such as Bolivian and Argentine hemorrhagic fevers, H5N1(bird flu), Dengue hemorrhagic fever, Marburg virus, Ebola virus, hantaviruses, Lassa fever, Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever, and other hemorrhagic or unidentified diseases. When dealing with biological hazards at this level the use of a Hazmat suit and a self-contained oxygen supply is mandatory. The entrance and exit of a Level Four biolab will contain multiple showers, a vacuum room, an ultraviolet light room, autonomous detection system, and other safety precautions designed to destroy all traces of the biohazard. Multiple airlocks are employed and are electronically secured to prevent both doors opening at the same time. All air and water service going to and coming from a Biosafety Level 4 (P4) lab will undergo similar decontamination procedures to eliminate the possibility of an accidental release.
Symptoms:
Status: confirmed
Well That's just great!

China's quake zone between tectonic plates

THE area of southwestern China struck by a violent tremor on Saturday has witnessed some of the world's deadliest earthquakes.


THE SITE OF CHINA'S LATEST EARTHQUAKE SITS ON THE BORDER OF THE INDIAN AND ASIAN TECTONIC PLATES. AAP


The area sits on the boundary between two of the earth's tectonic plates, the Indian and Asian plates, which are constantly grinding against each other.

The region is unusual geologically because of the steep slopes at the boundary between the Sichuan Basin and the Tibetan plateau, according to seismologists.

The elevation rises by about 3,500 metres over only about 50 kilometres.

Earthquakes are frequent along the fringes of the Tibetan plateau, which was raised when India collided into Eurasia starting some 50 million years ago.

It is this powerful thrust that created the Himalayas and its highest peak, Mount Everest, which reaches 8,848 metres. The mountains continue to reach skyward to this day, propelled by unstable tectonic terrain.

The deadliest earthquake to rock the Tibetan plateau in the 20th century was in 1920 when 230,000 people died in Gansu province. Another quake measuring 8.0-magnitude struck Sichuan in May 2008 leaving nearly 87,000 dead or missing.

Jiang Haikun, an official with the China Earthquake Networks Centre's forecasting department, said Saturday's quake was formed in the same way as the 2008 quake.

Both quakes occurred on the Longmen mountain fault zone, which tended to produce powerful tremors along a 500-kilometre-long belt, he said.

Morning, FOG.
The sun is very active today. There have already been 8 flares, 7 Cs and 1 B.
Something else to throw into what seems to be a "doom" stew the past couple of weeks.
Don't know how many, if any, were earth directed. Shad would probably know.
