the day before yesterday basically the same thing happened and whatever it was (they still don't know) didn't cause a change in radiation levels.

Whatever the cause, there were low enough rad levels that they could send in a fire team and they black smoke has largely stopped. You knew it before possibly anyone else in America.

One thing: there is a lot of news going on, lots and lots of updates, and the normally staid Japanese news has become more, err dynamic. More than a few times, the announcer will be going thru some news flash and a guy who is obviously sitting right next to him, but off screen will be giving him orders in a small voice, saying things like "repeat" "go into the lead again" "say the numbers again". Interesting to watch.

Tokyo water authorities have decided to advise that infants don't consume Tokyo water as a precautionary measure, though the science suggests they should be fine. I wouldn't have a problem with this except for the fact that there was no such advisory for places closer the plant, where levels for water must be higher. Tokyo jumping the gun on them makes it look like they think Tokyo-ites are more important or something.

That I agree with you.



Carp, this is a serious thread. Try to leave it that way, please.
If you wanna bicker with me, fine. Not in a thread about an actual nuclear meltdown.
Thank you

That was on the news here this morning. They said the rad levels in the tap water were twice the safe amount for infants.
Scary.

Just the day before my wife insisted on appyling for a water delivery service (from Hawaii!). I thought it was overboard from what I read. Anyway, the first 15 gallons arrived (I was at home) and and hour later they made the announcement about Tokyo water on TV. Good job wife!

Great job wife!
I guess you should view everything with a eye towards "worst possible scenario" and prepare for the worst, hope for the best.
Is food hard to find/buy? I know you (or someone) said that groceries flew off the shelves initially. Has the stock been replenished?

People keep hoarding, but it hasn't starved us yet. Milk is suddenly back in abundance, b/c no one wants to drink it due to health concerns. We had stocked up a lot ourselves and can weather several days. While we were in Kyoto, I heard the situation had gotten better, but not that I can see now that we are back.

Between Liz, rest her soul in the hereafter, and Libya, rest it's soul now, we are a little off the radar. Here, I am still on the edge of my seat. TEPCO (we call it TODEN - Tokyo Denryoku here now has power hooked up to it's reactor control rooms and has many measurement numbers it announced. The people giving these numbers seem at a loss to either know what they mean or to be able to speak simply enough to explain what they mean. Waiting for expert analysis. Still no cooling besides pouring sea water on them is taking place as far as I know.
