    Fukushima Japan earthquake - contamination & consequences outside Fukushima NPP

    I was not trying to insinuate anything. I was just trying to understand if we already have hard figures on which to begin to evaluate whether or not there might be an increase in suicidal rate as a direct consequence of the nuclear accident. I sincerely hope with all my hearth, for our...

    Fukushima Japan earthquake - contamination & consequences outside Fukushima NPP

    One question to you all (tsutsui san especially thanks for the great painstaking work you ar edoing for us all). is there an assessment of suicide cases among Fukushima evacuees as of today ?

    Japan Earthquake: Nuclear Plants at Fukushima Daiichi

    I remember reading far from reinsuring data in several pages in March. Now I looked up and found for example this page http://blogs.reuters.com/gregg-easterbrook/2011/03/18/the-danger-of-spent-fuel-rods-and-the-yucca-mountain-project/ or...

    Japan Earthquake: Nuclear Plants at Fukushima Daiichi

    Are you excluding from this "burden of proof" the japanese plants that have not been restarted yet, I must suppose .. While I cannot sware on the EDG, pump protection, anti-tsunami barriers and similar resilience factors for each and every one of them, it does seem to a first rough...

    Japan Earthquake: Nuclear Plants at Fukushima Daiichi

    what do you think about the sharp Kr-85 rise (in one day) of the famous gas sampling I stumbled across the fact by looking at http://enenews.com/just-in-krypton-85-up-over-14000-in-a-day-at-reactor-no-2-kr-85-used-to-detect-plutonium-separations and do not know what to think of it...

    Japan Earthquake: Political Aspects

    Covered ? quite dificult to ascertain since the exact location of the corium is not known. One can only say that temperature at the positions where termocouples are is less than 100 degrees Celsius. which is of course better than registering a higher temperature, especially if there is a...

    Fukushima Japan earthquake - contamination & consequences outside Fukushima NPP

    Should not be this forum about scientific facts ? Do you propose to keep children confined in radiation shielded buildings ? I habe sove difficulty in wording my strong disagreement in a civil manner, so I'll leave it at this point and let others comment

    The Nuclear Power Thread

    Well.. 50 years from now I can quite easily envisage a smart grid with massive renewable generation... does it matter to the NPP competitiveness right now ? I do not think so... what will in fact matter is the financial crisis felt in these hours and the effect it will have in real...

    The Nuclear Power Thread

    Most often fossil based power generation relies on coal or natural gas. I do not see what is the significance of oil prices, whatever their future course could be, on the economic prospects of NPPs.

    TVA Bellefonte completion - is it a safe and wise option ?

    The Pantheon or the Coliseum were not built in steel reinforced concrete either, nor do they have a nuclear reactor on top. Can we try to evaluate possible risks (or lack thereof) refraining from analogies ?

    TVA Bellefonte completion - is it a safe and wise option ?

    Well structural characteristics of a NPP foundation do not seem to be similar to the extra thick structure of a dam.

    TVA Bellefonte completion - is it a safe and wise option ?

    Shall we try to keep the discussion technical ? From the info Astronuc gently provided I am now aware that the specic design was completed and operated for about 2 years in Germany. Is this significant lack of operational history significant ? is there an "accumulation of operational...

    TVA Bellefonte completion - is it a safe and wise option ?

    Arnie Gundersen evaluations seem to me rooted in sound and simple common sense. http://vimeo.com/27481567 What do you think about it ?

    Japan Earthquake: Nuclear Plants at Fukushima Daiichi

    It might be my imperfect command of english, but I am not sure i understand your conclusion. Are you leaning toward the idea that early damage to pipes, did in fact happen before the tsunami wave struck ?
