In comparison : PS3 XBOX And because PS3 is a bad-tempered tsundere, using her may result in one being cut into pieces by a Savage Wolf Fury. Thus they chose the XBox.

I believe this was just a result of hurried data aquisition (maybe stress). So unless they blunder things on a regular basis and are therefore not fit to operate a nuclear power plant (very unlikely), I would say the correction poses no significant reason for concern. Now the data... this water should have an equivalence dose of approx. 20mSv/h (this is based on a hasty rough calculation - I could be wrong). Its not exceptionaly high for the inside of the reactor housing (and I hope it is not leaking). The Cs 137 will remain on a rather stable level, and the other isotopes will decay more quickly (assuming that no new radioactive isotopes leak into the water). Well, if they can keep this stuff inside the reactor housing it should not pose a serious risk for people outside the power plant (though I have the feeling they will not be able to prevent partial leaking of the stuff - basically its now an open-air cooling cycle).

Here's what Japan Times is saying about the groundwater (and TEPCO mismanagement):

Square/Enix publishing's authors also sends message to the evacuees.
http://www.square-enix.com/jp/magazi...ecial/message/ The season of spring when cherry blossoms flourish brings a sense to the Japanese different from commonly attributed in western culture,especially after such a devastating catastrophe. I found this editorial which I think very much describes that sense. Earthquakes and cherry blossoms: Japan's reminder of mortality Songs like Haru yo Koi and/or Sakurabito Both expresses the same theme, sadness of parting and yet also seeing glimmer of a new start. |

EDIT: I have to thank Vexx for contributing to the thread more of the humanitarian crisis of this disaster in his posts, rather than turning amatuer nuclear scientist and speculating which I can't see has contriubuted much in the long run in terms of info at present :\ I heard that they wanna expand the evacuation zone but I understand the relunctance. Where the hell you gonna house, clothe and feed the refugees if you want more to leave? Tens, especially the elderly have already passed away simply from lack of food, water or the extreme cold temperatures, it's kinda a lose/lose situation at present. Another video clip about those who are waiting to go back home though and their current situation: Click here for video report

@ Mystique : The reason why "amateur nuclear scientists" are around trying to discuss something is due to the fact that "expert panels" provided by TEPCO are nothing more than a bunch of bureaucrats shoving nonsense to news crews to pacify them, instead of providing real scientists who provide facts in real science and mathematics. Sure the latter may be provide nothing tantalising in their answers, but it would certainly be more real than the "site data" provided that are taken with little or no planning and objectivity.

Also...... "Jumpers" offered big money to brave Japan's nuclear I wish they open the job up to foreign diploma graduates. I seriously don't mind doing the job.

Anyway you are right Vexx, it is hard to qualify such a statement without knowing at least the reference value (how much is legal?) and the measured value. Quote:

-They were really badly equipped by TEPCO to handle the situation. -They aren't really sacrificing themselves 100%. Most of them will probably die natural deaths. They are still putting them up to very dangerous risks though. Since Vexx brought it up. Will Japan keep relying on seawalls? I assume they are rather effective except in really really bad situations like this one. To everyone who lives in Japan, have seawalls ever provided a sense of security and has that sense of security been affected by the recent events? |
