I've got me enough potassium iodine tablets for me and my loved ones, ie, me.
Oh, and the doggies.
Just in case.
In brighter news, I imagine there will be many less Prius' on the road if Fukushima goes pop! So ya know, always look at the positives!

If the cooling ponds are dry they may as well drop wet concrete from those helicopters....The final solution.... as Hitler would have put it 8)

You understand that Priusses are battery and not nuclear powered?

Sadly it looks like I was right again. They are now admitting that they acted too slowly but more importantly, contamination levels in the sea surrounding the plant have spiked at 1250 times the safe limit.
I said it depended on what they did with all the seawater they were using. They were evidently chucking it back in the sea!!!!!
They just don't seem to have had any sort of plan in place, sort of oh it will never happen sort of thing.
I have always thought that the IAEC should have powers to veto any new stations that do not conform to established protocols and that any governments should have to apply to them for permits to build. With suitable sanctions available should anyone not wish to conform.

these are very old though, like 40 odd? Aside from number 6 which is newer, and isn't shitting the bed!

The first 4 are 41 years old,the other 2 about 12. They are all PWR system though, not MAGNOX, like some we were using until very recently and were over 50 years old.
Like I said from the beginning, it's all down to procedures, back up systems and maintenance.

To be fair, the damage was caused by a freak circumstance, but knowing instantly what you do next and having the (working) equipment and trained personnel to do it, is rather crucial.

well, with the number of X-rays, MRI's, cat scans I've had over the years, I should theoretically glow anyways so I'm not too fussed about the slitty eye'd yips TBH!

:lol: Yeah, you probably could see your way home, in the dark. In fact if your lights fail, they could put you on the bonnet and someone else drive. :P

My concern though Doc, is the poor condition of unitsin the old cccp, where units are old and poorly maintained, some even without a containment shell.
In the far east, such as s***h Korea. The units are mostly new and well maintained, but are much bigger and their attention to H&S is deplorable. :shock:

well, lets look on the "bright" side, a Nuclear winter would rather ensure we get no snow!

I think if it was that bad, none of us would be in any condition to worry about the weather!

Not quite the same but that comment puts me in mind of the ending of Dr Strangelove with mushroom clouds rising all over the Earth and Vera Lynn singing "We'll meet again"! :(
