Odille,
My fears were immediate with the first explosion and the Japanese stated there
was
a leak but luckily for them at that stage the wind was blowing east out over
the Pacific. Not
that I wished it blow back over the Japanese. The worst case scenario is
unimaginable for
them. But this is part our and many other Pacific nations food bowl. And Cesium
137 has
a half-life of 30 years. I don't want to come across as alarmist but lil
amounts over a life is
going to have an effect on your wellbeing if you're regularly ingesting this
stuff. There are
many tiny Pacific nations depending on the sea for food.
On another note, it is great it's raining on full moon. It must mean it's going
to be a clear
new moon ; )
Cheers,CS
Rob

Rob, You are the first person I've seen mention the ocean - that's been my
concern too. Cesium 137 (I think I have the right
number) has a long half life, can be carcinogenic and accumulates in the food
chain. We share the Pacific Ocean coast with Japan.
I want to know if eating fish will be risky or not.
Cheers, Odille

Hey Graham,
Welcome back!! I hope all's working well.
Thanks for the info on Japan's reactors. The most pointless looking thing about
the
helicopter drops was most of the water was dissipating before it hit the
buildings let
alone get into the storage pond at the top of the reactor. It's these storage
ponds
which apparently are boiling dry and then so causing the problems. They're
saying
this morning that they have managed to restart the cooling system on No 3
reactor.
Let's hope they can fix the rest. I see they have already detected very small
amounts
of radioactivity on the west coast of the US. One can only assume that varying
amounts
have entered the oceans between, which is a worry.
It's great that the international community is finally coming to the aid of the
Libyan people.
But I wonder what sort of dictator the west will be propping up next.
Cheers,CS

hey guys long time no see Description: cid:3383453483_569414
I was reading today somewheres that the water bombing is likely more about
whats going on at the top than thats whats inside the
reactor
the spent fuel is stored at the top of the building and the explosions have
damage the containment ponds .
In the case of no 4 , theres 142 tons of spent fuel rods up there

our nephew is a 200 km from sendai and while not so much directly
affected by the earthquake
power rationing is making it very dificult , without heating min temps
are very cold .

It's seems Mother Nature cannot/will not even extend to us the opportunity of
observing
this moon event.

Hi guys
Just got back from working in Sydney for a few days - I really dislike Sydney -
dirty smelly noisy - so its great to be home.
I see you've got the downloading covered for now - between the three of us it
shouldn't be a problem. Thank goodness Glen didn't
have Japan on his travel itinerary!
Hope all is good with you. Now we're not even getting to see the full moon -
and its the biggest in 20 years!!

Hopefully it will all cool down without any more
major radiation leaks. We don't want another
Chernobyl or Three Mile Island.
I'll rename the solar radiation gif's tomorrow.
It's probabe that we will be at the Camping
Show at the Gold Coast on Saturday, so
it would be good if someone could download
Saturday's map. Thanks and best wishes
again for a great trip. Paul.

Hi All
Thanks Paul. I usually name them 03 16 etc (mm dd)
The nuclear crisis is not as bad as the media portrays it.
The reactors have been shut down and they will cool off. It just takes time.
It is amazing they survived so well with a tsunami much worse than anyone ever
expected.
They do not use weapons grade uranium.
CU on 1/7. (New moon is on 1/7)
Regards
Glen

Hi Rob,
Yes, it does seem quite desperate to use
helicopters and sea water of all things
to cool down that deadly furnace.
It just goes to show that you need more
than just one backup system when building
and designing these reactors. It sure gives
the anti nuclear lobby some ammunition.
I cannot believe that intelligent people
would build those reactors in geologically
unstable areas. A disaster just waiting
to happen.
I have started to download those solar
radiation maps that Glen wants. If I am
likely to be away I will try and post a
message here so anyone in the group
who is able can download them so there
is a complete set. I've just been renaming
them: "16 MARCH 2011" etc.
Cheers, Paul.

Hi Folks,
Forgive me for saying this as the Japanese have had to worst deal dealt to them
and we can only but look on from a distance at their poor fortune.
But.. is it just me or does it appear ridiculous helicopters trying to water
bomb
those reactors to cool them down? if these thing are in the first stages of a
melt
down it would be like using a fire extinguisher to put out a full blown
bushfire.
I really hope they get this under control not only for Japan but also as
radioactive
material that has blown east out over the Pacific might have a chance to
contaminate
our seafood.
