1. Radiation has spread and it is very high |
|
there is further risk of radioactive material coming out. He is going into the 20 km exclusion zone. We need now for everybody to move out of the exclusion zone, and in areas of 20-30 km depends on what happens at the power plant, remain indoors, at home and offices.
avoid going out
For Fukushima 2 people have all most evacuated from 10 km exclusion zone. We are requesting people leave 10 km exclusion zone. They are making all efforts to avoid more explosions or leaks. The people at the power plant are carrying out operations to cool down reactors, in that sense we hope that we can avoid further rad leaks.
I would like to ask the nation, although this is an incident of great concern, I request that you remain calm. I would like to end my request and message to the people of Japan

Oh and my reaction is... this is damn serious... as in we are now beyond horrific. Edano is coming on now

5. Number 4 is 'burning' ? |

Edited on Mon Mar-14-11 09:11 PM by Tx4obama
And wasn't there 'spent fuel' being stored in all the other buildings 'above' the reactors too? No one seems to be talking about that!

ON EDIT: The fact of stored spent fuel above the operating reactors. That had to be blown away, didn't it?

8. Edano talking of number four reactor which now has a fire |
|
(that is at Daichi, number two.
Number four was out of operation at reactor and only has spent fuel (I am mixed if this is good news)... no, hydrogen was generated...
Reactor number four seems to have had an explosion too... hydrogen explosion
One and three had secondary containment breached (outer buildings) number four had debris fall on it.
Hydrogen is being generated, assume radioactive substances released, and four is no longer housed by secondary containment, so it is coming from primary containment and doing all tehy can to cool down.
To number two, a blast was heard this morning and it was thirty minutes after four that number two, a hole was observed on number two... so we have been saying that there is very little risk of hydrogen explosion from number two. It happened when Edano was holding a press conference. The suppression chamber seems to have caused this blast and small amount of radioactive substance was released. Steam could be hydrogen, So one, two and three have water injection and all three reactors have water injection. Cooling is being done. The next step is to keep cooling. And of course they have a fire on number four.
As to rad level as of 10:22 level is 30 mserv at three, 300 at two, and 400 mservt at four. (comment from me, oh shit)
These are levels that can impact heath. Asking for calm
These are readings near the area. And of course the further away it will drop (time distance)
As of six AM the staff was evacuated... except for 50 to inject water (they are dead no way around it, in time)
We have asked to evacuate from the 20 km exclusion zone, new developments 20-30 km stay inside. (No shit sherlock)
Keep windows shut, do not use AC or other ventilation equipment, and hang laundry indoors
(ok this is worst than they are letting on... )
Conversion for sieverts
SI multiples and conversions
Frequently used SI multiples are the millisievert (1 mSv = 10−3 Sv) and microsievert (1 μSv = 10−6 Sv) or (1 mSv = 0.001 Sv) and (1 μSv = 0.000001 Sv). An older unit of the equivalent dose is the rem (Röntgen equivalent man). In some fields and countries, the rem and millirem (abbreviated mrem) continue to be used along with Sv and mSv, causing confusion. Here are the conversion equivalences: 1 Sv = 100 rem 1 mSv = 100 mrem = 0.1 rem 1 μSv = 0.1 mrem 1 rem = 0.01 Sv = 10 mSv 1 mrem = 0.00001 Sv = 0.01 mSv = 10 μSv

21. If it stays near the surface it will not |
|
mostly...
If it somehow gets into the jet stream it will ... remember, time\distance... the further you are the lower the readings, and the effect on health. At this point it should be mostly minimal, but...

34. What is going to happen to these people? |
|
I doubt enough have "concrete" houses which are sealed enough to protect them. Let alone enough food and other supplies. How will they get out of this hot area and to someplace safer? The area is the sight of a natural disaster excluding this nuclear disaster.
Those poor helpless people!

39. Crass? Perhaps. I thought it was more blunt |
|
It's not far off from the cancers, and perhaps even direct radiation sickness (depending on what takes place in the immediate future, and where they're located), I keep fearing will be in their futures. Worst of all they're trapped now. It's too late to flee for anyone already there.

44. Some of us rely on DU for news |
|
especially out here in the boonies.
We have always relied on other DUers for up-to-the-minute info. And DUers always come through.
those who want to be sheltered can turn off the internets and go knit.
And this is very scary stuff, but thank you for keeping up for those of us without TVs.
