*** Fukushima *** and other nuclear-----updates and links

I still have major problems with spent fuel. They keep making more but don't have a long term storage plan.

I really respect these folks. Kind of reminds me of the #1 thread but with more tech people involved.

The short-term plan is the long-term plan at this point. It is ludicrous, or it would be if it weren't so idiotic.

Feel kind of guilty for being absent as of late. Been enjoying visiting with my son in law while he is home on leave. They got the next base assignment, Whiteman AFB in Missouri. Should be headed there in Mid July, but still has to go back to South Korea till then.

THANKS for your CONTINUED attention to this threat to all human and animal life in coming years, 'Bug' !

That's IF we have more than a year to go, with 'other ' problems trying to displace this one, in the government CONTROLLED media/press. You and Citizen Perth both deserve medals, IMHO !

Eagle

I agree with Eagle!

Don't feel guilty. You have been on this crisis since the beginning. You deserve to take some time with your family.
It ain't going nowhere....

Radiation measuring stations provide peace of mind, at a price(snip)

With more and more people worried about possible radioactive contamination in the food they eat, some enterprising businesses are profiting from providing a little peace of mind.

Since the crisis at Tokyo Electric Power Co.'s Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant, the use of so-called public measuring stations is spreading as consumers conduct their own radiation inspections on food products, rather than relying on those performed by local governments and distributors.

Nearly all of this Stations are owned by the People itself,
like a Co-Operative, only a few are capitalistic Money-Mills!

This is the typical Japanese Way to fight for the truth,
they don`t blame only the Government like the West would do
they reclaim their Responsibility by and for them self!

I am very surprised that the People in the US and Canatard
are not doing the same, they get poisoned and their Government
said nothing, the People there need to wake up!

be carefull atom... i know we agree to disagree... but we are all worried about the same thing in this room... calling out canadians for instance doesn't help alot... if you choose to comment about people you can do it on your thread (ie: canadiantards)?....be like calling you a japanesetard.... not helpfull... i promised to refrain in respect for yours.. you could choose to do the same on this one... only my thoughts.. stay well.. and informed... cheers.. ;)

Measurement of radiation may be banned in Japan

(snip)

Japanese government killed Fukushima people and eastern Japanese by concealing SPEEDI for longer than 10 days.For the next, Japanese government is making legislative bill of Public security law.

With this law,government is authorized to define what is secret.
You must serve a 10-year term in prison if you leak the secret. Government is to suppress the information. [link to fukushima-diary.com]

And still, the world turns a blind eye... disgusting.

fuckin oats... reported the same...

A nuclear fuel manager with the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station has agreed to make a presentation during the upcoming National Nuclear Fuel Cycle Summit (NNFCS), held April 2-5 in Carlsbad, New Mexico.

(snip)

"Fukushima is still on everyone's mind, and what a lot of us think we know is from second and third hand reports," said John Waters, executive director of Carlsbad's Department of Development. "We are incredibly honored that Mr. Ota will attend our summit and provide us with a first-hand account. I hope to see a national response toward attending this amazing educational opportunity."

And why is that, pray tell? Is it because we have to dig for every little scrap of information that should be available to every human on the planet?

Bastards.

Experts estimate the radiation leaked from Fukushima nuclear plant will exceed that of Chernobyl

Well, good for the experts. The experts also said this could never happen.

Atomic energy panel urges background checks for nuke plant workers
[link to ajw.asahi.com]

(snip)

A need for more stringent checks also became apparent when the whereabouts of 10 workers with a Tokyo Electric Power Co. subcontractor in recovery operations after the accident have been unknown.

High radioactive content detected in ash from wood stoves
[link to ajw.asahi.com]

(snip)

The ministry then issued a notice calling on residents and local governments to store ash in plastic bags instead of scattering it in yards and farmland. The ministry also said that ash should be collected and inspected by the municipal governments.

The ash can be used in landfill if they contain 8,000 becquerels or less of radioactive cesium per kilogram. However, disposal should be entrusted to the central government if the concentration exceeds 8,000 becquerels per kilogram.

~

Yeah. So they can dump it in the ocean, instead.

One year on and a bleak future for the people of Fukushima

(snip)

Meanwhile big business has moved in. Clean-up contracts have been awarded to large companies, who have taken on sub-contractors and sub-sub contractors. In the typical Japanese way, fees are siphoned off and wages dwindle each step down the ladder, with most of the actual work being done by day-workers who only have the sketchiest idea of what they are supposed to be doing.

Even if there has been a proper cleanup, heavy rain in this mountainous region can soon wash radioactive contamination back into an area that was previously declared safe, so it's back to square one.

Great plan. Give him a cookie.

Temperature at Reactor 2's RPV Bottom Shots Up to 75 Degrees Celsius
[link to ex-skf.blogspot.com]

(snip)

TEPCO's plant parameters on temperatures haven't been updated yet to reflect the number, but Jiji Tsushin reports that the temperature at the bottom of the Reactor Pressure Vessel of Reactor 2 at Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant shot up to 74.9 degrees Celsius as of 11PM on February 11, Japan Time.

Uh oh.

i'm almost at a point where i may as well kiss this arse of a world good bye, drink more beer, smoke more, and watch operah instead of working..... seems nobody gives a rats about the worst disaster in mankinds history bar world war..... sigh*..... and so the worm turns.....

Short attention spans. Works to the advantage of those who hope time will wash away their sins...

Not gonna happen.

Temperature inside No.2 reactor rises again
Tokyo Electric Power Company says the temperature inside the No.2 reactor at the damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant has risen again.

The utility successfully lowered the temperature last week after injecting more water.

But a thermometer installed at the bottom of the reactor detected an increase to around 71 degrees Celsius from Friday night to Saturday morning.

It's alive!....
.

We care CP but TPTB in Japan don't want any help from anyone. That's the way they are, what can any of us do?

You're obviously not in the nuke business... GE/Hitachi is there... Toshiba/Westinghouse is there... AREVA is there... the russians are there... to learn, to help and to make a buck... it's an extremely complicated situation and it will take years to solve the most elementary problems... 30-40 years to clean up... billions to be made there so rest assured that the nuke industry is there...
