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...
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 ?

what do you think about the sharp Kr-85 rise (in one day) of the famous gas sampling

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...
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
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...
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.
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 ?
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...
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 ?
