You knew one had to be coming, another update about the meltdown and it's effects. Also-Ran-Romney and iPhone fiveage aside. TEPCO has been decontaminating areas immediately around monitoring posts to make radiation in stricken areas appear lower than it really is. Despicable genius really.

TEPCO, my electric company, sucks the sweat off an old man's balls

Probably my longest hiatus from this oh so hot, melted even, thread.

Don't know if it made headlines over there, but at Fukushima Daiichi power went out to the cooling on multiple spent fuel rod pools (which have nothing to do directly with the reactors themselves, but are actually much more dangerous by most measures). Luckily, these pools take days (around 4 to be more exact) before lack of cooling becomes a problem, and it is already largely under control. Only had 20 hours of non-cooling this time.

Another recent report stated that radiation in regions around the plant had gone down by 40 percent. This was attributed to clean up "efforts". I have read about these slipshod "efforts". The decline is more likely attributable to Cesium 134 having a half-life of 2 years. Sadly there is still a lot of 137 with a half-life of 30 years..

It's been on CNN. Sounds like that plant will never be safe.

On a more serious note.. this is a vid using reenactment footage from a BBC documentary.

Glad you didn't show either of them to me 2 years ago. wink

April 26th, 1986. I will try to remember that date, as I am certain I will remember the day everything started in Japan for the rest of my life.

well, look at the Exclusion zone around Chernobyl, 30 km.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_Exclusion_Zone

and, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Mile_Island_accident#Current_status

do we really need this monster?

isn't there a zone being established around Fukushima?
