That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight, I'm
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no, I've said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
Oh, life is bigger
It's bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no, I've said too much
I set it up
(chorus)
That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight, I'm
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no, I've said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
Every whisper
Of every waking hour I'm
Choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt lost and blinded fool, fool
Oh no, I've said too much
I set it up
Consider this
Consider this
The hint of the century
Consider this
The slip that brought me
To my knees failed
What if all these fantasies
Come flailing around
Now I've said too much
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
But that was just a dream
That was just a dream
(repeat chorus)
But that was just a dream
Try, cry, why try?
That was just a dream
Just a dream, just a dream

A huge outcry is erupting in Fukushima over what parents say is a blatant government failure to protect their children from dangerous levels of radiation. The issue has prompted unusually direct confrontations in this conflict-averse society, and has quickly become a focal point for anger over Japan’s handling of the accident at the nearby Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, ravaged in the March 11 earthquake and tsunami.
,,,
On Monday, a group of angry parents from Fukushima staged a rowdy protest outside Japan’s Education Ministry in Tokyo, bearing signs reading “Save our children” and demanding to speak with the minister. They were rebuffed.
Yoshiaki Takaki, the education minister, later stressed that the government would allow children to remain exposed to the updated levels of radiation.,,,
Slow action by the government has set off a revolt among the usually orderly ranks of Japanese bureaucrats.
Todays Diary is about Religion and Faith. The Japanese have always believed in order. That to believe in the system was to be Japanese. To have this kind of disturbance is very Unjapanese. What will happen next? Dogs and Cats sleeping together?
For the Japanese to lose this faith in Unity and State is a complete breakdown of
the modern japanese religion.
http://www.greenpeace.org/...
The results of the details analysis are back – and we can say that the situation in the ocean along the Fukushima coast is worse than we originally thought.
The new data shows that some seaweed contamination levels are not only 50 times higher than safety limits – far higher than our initial measurements showed – but also that the contamination is spreading over a wide area, and accumulating in sea life, rather than simply dispersing like the Japanese authorities originally claimed would happen.
Other samples showed lower than expected concentrations of caesium, but much higher levels of iodine than expected, which raises serious concerns that contaminated water is continually leaking from the nuclear plant.
Iodine has a short half-life of around eight days, comparing to caesium isotopes' half-lives of two years or more. Having higher iodine levels than caesium indicates that there is a significant, ongoing discharge of contaminated water coming from the damaged plant - despite the authorities only officially admitting to three releases into the ocean to date.
It has been an article of Faith from the Nuclear Community that all this radiation will disperse in the ocean. Instead we are seeing bio-accumulation. Also the Greenpeace folks ahve caught TEPCO releasing more radiation http://maps.google.com/... they admit. Also the Presence of Iodine argues for recriticality.
Ive attached above the Greenpeace monitoring map. It does not look good for anyone still living in the danger zone.
http://www.reuters.com/...
The effort to regain control of the plant relies on pumping massive quantities of water to cool the three reactors that suffered meltdowns and storing the contaminated water in an improvised storage facility. Tepco officials said, however, that the water level in the storage facility had dropped, suggesting a leak.
http://hawaiihealthguide.com/...
Our goal to offer high quality safe food to our community has recently been challenged in the reality of the radioactivity being released into our environment. In the past weeks radioactive levels have increased in Hawaii, with high spikes and a more current leveling off of radiation levels. Milk from the large dairies in Hamakua and Hawi has shown elevated levels of radiation, from 400 to 2400 times the recognized safe levels.
We have begun feeding our cows and goats sodium borate at milking times, as well as adding it to free choice kelp and water troughs. In the past years we have monitored boron and other minerals in the soil and have added as necessary to bring levels up to recognized healthy levels. As a safety measure we are planning to implement a boron dosage to all of our pastures, as well as neighboring pastures. For humans, boron can safely ingested at a dosage of 4-10 mg per day.
AS an act of faith, the Hawaii milk producers are feeding boron to the cows.
Seems to me that's a religious measure not a action that will do much good.
eople in Hawaii need to evacuate and import foods, not, play with borax tea.

Mitsuhiko Tanaka, a former nuclear reactor design engineer, says high-temperature steam apparently leaked out to the containment vessel after either the reactor's pressure vessel or its accessory piping was partially damaged.
The operator, Tokyo Electric Power Co., admitted Wednesday that critical cooling piping at the same plant's No. 3 reactor may also have been damaged in the quake.
The utility, known as TEPCO, had earlier suggested that no major damage was done to the reactor, such as ruptures in the facility's main steam piping, until the arrival of massive tsunami after the quake.
"If we do our analysis on the premise that there was a leak in the piping, it matches (data) in reality," a TEPCO official said at a news conference, referring to possible damage at the No. 3 reactor. "We can't deny the possibility."
According to TEPCO, as soon as the reactor's emergency core cooling system was activated shortly after noon on March 12, pressure inside both the reactor's pressure vessel and containment vessel, which encases the pressure vessel, dropped, suggesting that steam was leaking from the cooling pipe.
Now it's been an article of Faith amongst all the Nukenuts that the Reactors and
containments survived the earthquake and that it was the tsunami that did in
the reactors.
now the truth emerges.
So we had a station blackout and a LOCA in units 1 and 3 and that was the
real cause of those accidents. Major piping or even the Pressure vessel couldn't
survive the quake and everything else just added fuckitude to an already
fucked situation.
now Joieau points out to me in comments that to many of the nuke-o-philes,
this whole scenario has been INCONCIEVABLE. But to me, that's merely a
proof that the religious faith of belief has overwhelmed the cold fire of knowledge.
we had people who called it right from the start like Radical Def

but even in his diary you can see the Propoganda machine starting up.
"Oh the Containment vessels are fine"....
and the priests of the religious nuke came out of the woodwork
http://www.dailykos.com/...
This went against everything I thought I knew about reactor operations and the realm of possible events. I could not conceive of what
now it's a little bit of a quote out of context, but, the nukephiles could not
concieve of this event.
They couldn't conceive of a Richter 9.3 quake in northern japan.
They couldn't concieve of a 15 meter Tsunami.
They couldn't concieve of cooling pipes breaking in a local richter 6 quake.
They couldn't concieve of a flood washing out the Diesel Tanks.
They couldn't concieve of a quake causing a station blackout and loss of grid power.
They couldn't concieve of leaks starting in all the stored fuel pools.
They couldn't concieve of the battery backup failing after 60 minutes.
they couldn't conceive of a quake damaging the containment vessels.
-- No reactor was severely damaged.
-- As long as the pipes going into the reactors hold up, external pumps can move water+boron into these reactors.
-- Engineers have practiced these pumping processes in normal times. So far the first two days of a ten-day cool-down procedure have gone pretty much as expected.
-- "Melting" does not mean "meltdown." Pieces of internal pipe and concrete can melt. That does not mean the reactor is going to either blow up or "go pear shaped" and sink into the earth.
-- "Partial meltdown" refers SO FAR to the pipe and concrete problems. There is no information that indicates that fuel rods are doing nuclear-driven degeneration -- leading to a reactor explosion.
Try the IAEA and Al Jazeera sites for solid, no-BS coverage. After Chernobyl, nobody wants to see the public deceived. People got charged for that one and this time there'd be a lot more jail time served.
as vets 74 wrote above, He couldn't concieve of reactor damage...
But we know now that the reactor at unit 1 was laready fulled melted and breached
at that time.
http://www.dailykos.com/...
me, i just read the tea leaves. TEPCO was turning on the spin machine and
had AREVA, ANS and the nuke nuts out there, me, I could see something really
bad and when the japanese intimate it's trouble, it's just awful..
but the commentary i thought was so fascinating in hindsight
You aren't a nuclear engineer and you don't have the facts on the ground. You have parts of schematic drawings that don't connect. But somehow you manage to reach conclusions about complex problems you have not been trained to analyze.
Here's a clue. The cesium is an indication that some fuel rods have cracked and failed. Perhaps some fuel rods have partially melted, but we don't know that for sure.
My expertise is nuclear waste disposal, not nuclear engineering so I'm going to stop right there. I worked for the U.S. NRC for 15 years. But I'm not going to pretend I know what's happening based on news reports.
look for my eSci diary series Thursday evening. "It's the planet, stupid."

My husband is an engineer who has worked for 50 years in nuclear energy and is an expert on Zirconium technology. He was just giving a seminar on the subject in Europe.
I spoke to him a few hours ago and according to what he and his colleagues have learned about the situation in Japan - there was no explosion in the reactor; the seawater being pumped in will eventually (in about a year) ruin the reactor but has already and will continue to cool the core and prevent a meltdown.
We are supposed to be a reality based community. Let us please not cave in to panic-promoting "news" stories. I am sorry to say this includes Rachel Maddow who is my favorite and practically the only "news" commentator I watch. Friday she had on a Greenpeace scientist who made frightening remarks much in line with their long standing anti-nuke position. I was very anti-nuke in college but have learned a great deal about the much more complicated realities of nuclear energy from my husband and his colleagues than
what is being spewed out at the moment.
who fell for the love and faith she has in her husband into the faith of the nuclear
community. Me, I'd watch one little Gunderson video and i saw an engineer
with simple demos destroying the temple of nuclear faith.

I heard yesterday afternoon (ET here) that even though they had new batteries and generators on site and WERE supplying coolant and circulation but it was still not under control. Knew then that they were most likely going to lose it. Again, basic physics...
A BWR that properly scrams has some residual heat from immediate decay. Needs coolant circulation for 24-48 hours before it goes into "convection" mode - semi-cool shut-down mode where the pumps don't have to do much if anything. Had these plants properly scrammed they could have kept the coolant circulating (even if it got a little low, like 10-15 feet over the core) on batteries, spit and polish for 48 hours. Should by rights have been able to do that, they got the help they needed.
They weren't able to do that. Still aren't able to do it at the other four reactors in danger of meltdown. That likely means the backup power went down the same time everything else went down, or so quickly thereafter that there wasn't power enough to insert the control rods fully. The reactors were still fissioning.
No big deal so long as you've got heat exchange and circulation. But battery powered shut-down mode flow isn't going to cut it if it's still "on." That only works if it's "off."
who argued that the signature indicated an ATWS happened.
I suspect she looked at the power levels and figured a control rod was stuck.
n a report submitted to the agency, TEPCO said that if a breach around 3 centimeters in diameter occurred at the No. 1 reactor's containment vessel 18 hours after the quake and it widened to about 7 cm 50 hours after the quake, it would account for changes in pressure readings inside the containment vessel.
TEPCO said it believes that parts used to ensure air tightness in the containment vessel may have broken from overheating, judging from temperatures measured when the leaking possibly occurred.
The company also hypothesized that a rupture roughly 10 cm in diameter occurred to the No. 2 reactor's containment vessel 21 hours after the quake due to elevated temperatures, among other factors, finding that it also corresponds with data obtained.
I think our thinking is going to have to change faster then our technology
or we are all screwed.

As the article below says, the Reactor 3's turbine building alone has 22,000 tonnes of highly contaminated water. The transfer to this particular building of the Central Waste Processing Facility only reduced that amount by 3,660 tonnes.
TEPCO claims AREVA's water processing facility will be ready in June and that will solve all kinds of problems. The cost of processing the contaminated water allegedly demanded by AREVA is 200 million yen (US$2.44 million) per tonne. (More about the shady AREVA contract later.)
as one of the commentators noted, that's $50 Billion AREVA wants to process water
at just one reactor. MUltiply by 4 and that's 200 Billion. Given that there is
radioactive water buuilding up in reactor 5 and 6 turbine building. It could be
$300 Billion. Just in stored on site water processing.
http://www.tepco.co.jp/...
in 2009, TEPCO had 2 Trillion yen in Assets. So, figure 15 Billion in assets before
we writ down 6 nuclear reactors. Figure the reactors have an enterprise value of maybe 6 Billion now, that's a major writedown for TEPCO write there, and
they need to come up with 30X assets to pay to clean water, alone?
TEPCO looks like they used to earn 1.5 Billion a year.
Now will a corporation sacrifice 100 years earnings just to start cleanup?
Or will they send people with mops in to make it look like a cleanup...
When a disaster exceeds a companies risk adjusted profile, they are
headed to bankruptcy and are going to leave the risks to the Japanese
tax Payers.
And speaking of Faith, I showed how it's easily 300 Billion, just to clean up water
on site. Add in similiar costs to clean up landfall radiation and then similiar costs to
clean the physical site, this could easily be a trillion dollar event.
Japans GDP is 5 trillion, so, just to clean this mess could cost them 20% of GDP
and it's knocking down GDP by a fair bit. The careful analysts say 5%, I think it could
be 20% as they have to increase oil imports and lose production.
It's an article of faith for the markets that this will have no effects, but, for me,
I think the Damned japanese could lose 20% of their JDP and end up in a major depression.

It has been found that simulation data and actual readings match fairly closely for the first part of the accident sequence, but significant differences emerge between around the time emergency cooling systems were exhausted and water levels rapidly dropped to the bottom of the fuel assemblies.
This is when seawater injection began, with sensors in the reactor cores showing water levels recovering to about two metres below the top of fuel assemblies. While this would put the cores at risk of damage, a reasonable cooling effect would still be expected thanks to the high thermal conductivity of the zircalloy fuel cladding.
However, the two simulation cases both suggest that water levels did not rise as quickly or by as much.
For unit 2, the first scenario suggests that water only recovered to about three metres below the top of fuel, and the second shows levels below the core entirely. In both cases the fuel temperature is thought to have shot to around 2700ºC, the level at which the zircalloy cladding reacts with water to produce hydrogen and more heat. Under these conditions core damage is thought to have begun at 8pm on 14 March, three days and five hours after the tsunami hit.
The first scenario ends with about 54% of the top of the core melting to form a mass supported and surrounded by a number of damaged fuel assemblies. It would reach this steady state on around 18 March, according to the simulation.
The second scenario has only about 12% of the core remaining on the support plate, with the rest having fallen into the water in the the lower part of the reactor pressure vessel. This may have happened by 15 March.
The real situation is likely to be between these cases, but the prognosis compares unfavourably with the estimate of 35% core damage based on readings taken at the time.
For unit 3 the story is similar. Instrumentation at the plant showed water levels returning to about two metres below the top of fuel, whereas the two simulation cases put levels at about three metres below and just below the core. Temperatures reached damage-inducing levels on 13 March. The two possible core states for unit 3 put forth by the computer also follow the same pattern. The first has 42% of the core melted and merged with a mass of damaged fuel. This sits on a platform of 16% undamaged fuel at the bottom. In the second case, some 94% of the fuel is assumed to have dropped into the water below by the morning of 14 March.
Tepco said the both the second cases indicate the reactor pressure vessels could be damaged, but it considers any such damage to the limited due to temperatures around the vessels shown by a variety of still-functioning sensors. Analysis of unit 1 suggested the entire core had fallen into water in the bottom of the reactor pressure vessel with this somehow allowing water to escape at a limited rate.
See it's not a worst case scenario, because at least 6% of rac 3 are definitely
not melted.

Chubu Electric Power Co., which shut all the reactors at its sole nuclear station following the Fukushima disaster, detected radioactive cobalt 58 on a filter attached to an exhaust stack at the plant, the utility said today.
The amount of cobalt 58 found at the Hamaoka plant in southeast Japan wasn’t high enough to be harmful, according to Chubu Electric.
Operations at Kashiwazaki on Japan’s western coast are normal, the company known as Tepco said in a statement today. The iodine was found in seaweed that may have drifted over from the Fukushima plant on the country’s eastern coast,
So lets see, Cobalt 58 drifts in clouds from Fukushima to Hamaoka
View Larger Map
Look, Look, LOOK!!!! It's 350 Miles and on the wrong side of Tokyo.
Sure, what they found is small particles, but, i'm sure it was worse the further north you went. Oh, right, yeah, it was probably filtered by the lungs of 35 million people
in TOKYO!
During the reactor’s shutdown, about 400 metric tons of seawater leaked into the steam condenser and 5 tons of it flowed into the pressure vessel, Akio Miyazaki, the Tokyo-based spokesman at the utility, said by phone today.
Remember when they said operations were normal? So 400 tons of seawater
went into the Condenser and 5 tons went into the Pressure vessel.
somehow i think way more got into the PV, and, saltwater destroys
heated stainless. Is this reactor safe to reopen, with all that sodium
eating away at the piping and reactor? Bet they will reopen it.
After all, it's overstrength, what are the odds a quake will happen.

MAX SUSTAINED WINDS - 130 KT, GUSTS 160 KT
Winds at 130 Gusting to 160 Knots... Now typhoons aren't exactly the same as hurricanes and the scales use different averaging but
Category 4 hurricanes tend to produce more extensive curtainwall failures, with some complete roof structural failure on small residences. Heavy, irreparable damage and near complete destruction of gas station canopies and other wide span overhang type structures are common. Mobile and manufactured homes are leveled. These storms cause extensive beach erosion, while terrain may be flooded far inland
So we should expect heavy grid damage and lots of light structure damage.
So, how many people will get made homeless? Power loss to Fukushima
plus the damaged stations at Dai-ini and Onogowa?
I bet those IAEA people are racing for an airport.
Who wants to be in a radioactive cyclone?

mentioned the "rumor" in my post yesterday that the cost to treat 1 tonne of contaminated water will cost TEPCO/Japanese taxpayers 200 million yen (US$2.44 million). In addition to the exorbitant cost, some people are asking, "What exactly will the facility do? What types of radioactive materials is it capable of removing from the water?"
After all, it will be the first even for AREVA to treat radioactive water of this level of contamination.
To my (feigned) surprise, no one in the Japanese government seems to know exactly what the facility is designed to do, and TEPCO is not saying anything, because it is under the "confidentiality [non-disclosure] clause" of the agreement with the French company.

Radioactive contamination has been found in tea leaves in Chiba and Gunma prefectures, about 200 kilometers from the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant. Similar contamination has been found over a wide area around Tokyo including Ibaraki, Kanagawa, Saitama and Shizuoka prefectures.
Chiba authorities say up to 763 becquerels per kilogram of radioactive cesium were detected in tea leaves picked on Tuesday in Narita and 3 other cities. The provisional state limit is 500 becquerels per kilogram.
The Chiba government on Wednesday requested tea growers in the 4 cities to voluntarily halt shipments, and asked dealers not to sell the tea produced in the areas.
But 2 tea growers in Narita City reportedly shipped their tea leaves, and dealers sold some processed tea to local consumers. Radioactive materials in tea leaves exceeding the legal limit was earlier detected in other areas in the prefecture.
In Gunma Prefecture, 780 becquerels per kilogram of radioactive cesium were detected in tea leaves picked on Tuesday in Shibukawa City.
DOn't worry, 200 KM isn't in Tokyo.... We wouldn't want people in Tokyo
to think it's dangerous.

The Swiss government has decided to decommission all existing nuclear reactors,
heading for a major shift in the nation's energy policy.
The Cabinet decided on Wednesday to shut down and decommission all 5
reactors in the country by the year 2034 after each one reaches the end of its
lifespan.
The nuclear reactors supply 40 percent of Switzerland's electricity demand.
The government says nuclear energy will become more costly if safety measures
at nuclear plants were to be enhanced. It says it will instead boost the use of
renewable energy, such as solar and wind power.
The new policy will be debated at the parliament next month.
Public concern over nuclear energy has been growing in Switzerland
20000 people rallied against nuclear power.

China wants to build a 100 or more plants. With their cruddy quality control

In the middle of May 2011, the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) posted information such as scans from paper recorders in the control rooms, computer alarm printouts, parameters plotted from high-speed data recorders (the nuclear equivalent to aircraft black boxes), and operator log books online.

I'm sure the shills will be out there screaming about how UCS
doesn't really say it's worse then Chernobyl, it's just a minor meltdown.
