I had no idea what a neutron beam was until just recently. Not sure I wanted to know?

Neutron beam observed 13 times at crippled Fukushima nuke plant

TOKYO, March 23, Kyodo

Tokyo Electric Power Co. said Wednesday it has observed a neutron beam, a kind of radioactive ray, 13 times on the premises of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant after it was crippled by the massive March 11 quake-tsunami disaster.

TEPCO, the operator of the nuclear plant, said the neutron beam measured about 1.5 kilometers southwest of the plant's No. 1 and 2 reactors over three days from March 13 and is equivalent to 0.01 to 0.02 microsieverts per hour and that this is not a dangerous level.

Something like this event is something you would think our media would follow up on but they haven't. Didn't take GE long to pull their "Good Time" Ecomagination ad either.

Why GE pulled its Green "Good Time" line-dancing ad?

In the wake of the Japanese tsunami, and the subsequent nuclear crisis, green-washed company General Electric has subtly pulled this "Good Time" Ecomagination ad:

Scroll to about :17 for the shot of Japanese Atomic workers gettin' down...something GE likely doesn't want you to think about right now.

1. OHHHH That is in bad taste considering nt

2. those are not 'atomic workers'

that is a clean room in a manufacturing facility...

5. I have worked in several clean room manufacturing facilities

I never had to wear bio-suits in any of them.

Must be a different kind of manufacturing than I was doing.

Any idea what GE is manufacturing in that clean room?

6. those are hardly bio-suits...

they are lightweight cloth designed to keep the skin you slough off during the day on YOU and not in the air...but GE makes loads of medical equipment that might easily require high level clean rooms for manufacture. and if you have worked in a clean room, you have had to wear a suit very similar...

3. but the video about the world's longest line dance was cool.

[meow mix]

4. i find a lot of GE ads to be offensive or irritating, including that one...

the line dance that reminds everyone to "get into line" reminds me to much of a scene out of a pink floyd movie.

and especially the dancing elephant. cute little republican!

or the heavy metal cows on stage, with the masses cheering the cows in cult like fashion.

7. I believe it is the blue glow that you can see in this picture. It happens in the used fuel pools..

constantly.

8. K & R

9. I agree the article is short on details but what I think they are describing is a beam

TEPCO, the operator of the nuclear plant, said the neutron beam measured about 1.5 kilometers southwest of the plant's No. 1 and 2 reactors over three days from March 13 ...

Something like this:

And this apparently happened 13 different times so I don't think they were trying to say they seen the spent fuel pools glowing 13 times.
