In the YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJjbNw07OUA" just after 7 minutes he says the shroud replacement was complete in Unit 4, according to his GE connections.- razzz

Storing radioactive water in an oil tanker is looking better by the minute. I'd being laying the transfer pipe offshore right now just in case. Anyone have a better idea to keep the site workable?- razzz

Fukushima Japan earthquake - contamination & consequences outside Fukushima NPP
I think it was Gundersen in a June 12, 2011 http://vimeo.com/25002205" said even after TEPCO reevaluated the radiation fallout to double their previous estimate that they still believe that 98% of the radiation still exist in the remaining damaged fuel. In an earlier video he also said that it...- razzz

Grime, oil and don't forget salt all radioactive. Grime can be settled out in a holding pond, oil need detergent to separate it, and salt needs an acid bath. Passive filtering would be pumping it to the top and let gravity pull it down through filters and trickle out the bottom for further...- razzz

Thanks for doing that post, I know it is time consuming. What you fail to point out is that the book assembled known scientific reports (at the time) and then wrote opinions on the reports. The fact the book has been criticized means it has been reviewed and flaws found. Was the book flawed...- razzz

Since concrete (which is usually rock(s), sand and cement) and even grout (which is cement and sand) are heavy than water, the mix will displace the water (force it out and away). Concrete could dilute (water washes out the cement) but pumping in more would overcome that. Many additives...- razzz

Careful when backtracking, you might trip up. From the NYAS link, Let me explain medical science, it draws no conclusions only opinions and in science you can't ignore either one as you must draw a theory based on facts.- razzz

Care to provide a link where the book is not founded in science or do you feel safe hiding in grey areas?- razzz

That humongous concrete boom pumper will be used to pump wet sand, slurry, concrete, more water or anything else needed that the pistons can push through when the time comes to encase the corium. Not that it will be complete confinement since groundwater flows at will to corium unless the entire...- razzz

If you can't read anything else about this matter due to your bias, then at least read the Foreword in this book-report http://www.strahlentelex.de/Yablokov%20Chernobyl%20book.pdf" In part: Many other links to more current reports are listed by the commenters under the...- razzz

Better to read the site http://ex-skf.blogspot.com/" as he tries to keep up with all aspects of Japan dealing with nuclear power and fallout involving tea. seaweed, to cement, etc. Also. maybe check the Greenpeace site for information as they asked Japan for permission to test seawater and fish...- razzz

Basically says during certain conditions steam will created back pressure with irregular flows when valve(s) cause vibrations by emitting a certain kind of sound waves...in other words: internal whistling.- razzz
