prjindigo: Best estimate of damage: They're gonna lose 2, 3 and 4.

Rough readings are 1.6 rem, not milli, not micro. The radiation is only going to get worse and the other three reactors are too close.

Everybody concentrated on #1 because it was the one in "worst" condition... the other three still have no power and were venting coolant, albeit at lower rates of loss.

About all we can do now is hope the guys working in the remaining units can get them under control before they die from irradiation trauma. Everybody there right now will die.

Yes, I wrote "trauma", not sickness.

aha, bad article! Still, it went chernobil. I wrote the above and stand by it.

bingethinker: No, no. An asteroid the size of Tokyo is going to hit the Rose Bowl tomorrow.

I thought the city of Tokyo was going to hit a bowl tomorrow.

when the ceo of the american red cross makes 500k a year, i have a problem. if this person worked 60 hours a week for a year, 3120 hours a year. 160 dollars and hour.

Whatever deity the Japanese pissed off. Probably Cthulu for portraying him as being attracted to teenage human schoolgirls.

I don't think so. Things seem to be winding down, in terms of new disasters coming your way. Things will be chaotic for a while I'd imagine, but not dangerous. Can you describe what exactly you fear for?</i>

Well a change in wind direction to blow all that stuff down here
another earthquake
a tsunami

He drops his own cash to get "farking there yesterday" and funny enough uses donations to the IRC to reduce his tax burden.

I shall make determinations with wrong snap judgments based on wrong information and will have to stand by it and hope it works out that way.

Tinkle break. Anyone need anything while I'm up?

I tire of this! I'm going for a scuttle!


Actually, I'm just going to sleep. Work in five hours. Peace out!

I need a doctor to back me up on this one, but if I remember right, if you've gotten gotten a good dose of fallout, you can paint your upper front torso with a tincture of iodine or povidone-iodine starting at your neck and going to your navel to prevent thyroid damage.

Choc-Ful-A: I found this summary of the reactor crisis from StratFor helpful in making sense of the jibberish spewing out of CNN and other media sources.

*sigh* Stratfor's usually top-notch on this sort of thing, but their prose in this article is so unclear that it's impossible to tell whether they're discussing Daiichi or Chernobyl.

Don't forget to grab something intoxicating... lady's choice.

Um 1.6 Rem is basically .016 Sieverts. You need more than 2 Sieverts to even die.

Great... so maybe a thread on the Tsunami or Victims, not one about the technical difficulties if the plant? You will see, no one here is talking about Red Cross but you. Hardly on topic.

Damnit! I never got that far before!

I live and work in Japan. All my Japanese friends seem to have 100% consensus that fossil fuels are bad and nukes are good. This was today. Here the news isn't as sensationalized. Japanese are overly sensitive to radiation (not physically). The evacuations are a hypersensitive reaction to very stringent regulations.

I thought nuclear plants usually had control rods made up of neutron absorbers that would just fall into place around the nuclear reactants if power ever failed that would take it back down to sub critical? is that not how modern plants operate?

Bamboozler Pediasure for you.

Fox News "Dude" just said the aftershocks have been "pretty mello".

Related: WHAT ROOF, exactly?

This is a multi-unit building and turbines are generally housed separate from reactors. And this is a bubbler. What went pop? Turbines have hydrogen on them, did the hydrogen go and take out a steam line? Or was this actually the reactor building/containment that went?
