RE: Data released by the CTBTO as mentioned Posts 6087 and 6089, it has been mentioned that the ratios of xenon isotopes were unusual: Were ratios of xenon isotopes unusual because reactor physics are poorly understood, or because of equipment being miscalibrated...

Any place left alone by humans is probably good for animals. It doesn't mean that the animals are unaffected by the contamination at Chernobyl: http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200910/cmselect/cmenergy/memo/nps/uc7402.htm Animal studies in areas near the Chernobyl accident show...

I am not joining the conversation regarding the possibility that reactor #4 is leaning. Regarding your question, assuming that the algorithm was a linear stretch algorithm, then what you say is accurate. However, a non-linear algorithm could be applied to stretch a 4:3 image to 16:9, whereby...

Below text copied from http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/05/24/japan-tepco-reactors-idUSL3E7GO04420110524 Some analysts said the delay in confirming the meltdowns at Fukushima suggested the utility feared touching off a panic by disclosing the severity of the accident earlier. "Now...

Desaturation is one method of numerous color removal methods. See attached picture on how results may not be desired when using simple desaturation (from http://www.inkjetart.com/tips/grayscale/index.html). I disagree that making the image black and white disproves that the rubble contains...

Haha, ok shall we use 'tera' so there is no ambiguitity? :smile:

I think the amount is 20兆 which is 20 trillion becquerels.

The water levels have been rising in (5 and) 6. The company says water levels are also rising in the Number 5 and 6 turbine buildings. http://www3.nhk.or.jp/daily/english/21_03.html

The English in the news from Kyodo and NHK is proper English. Perhaps a little bit awkward but difficulties in keeping literality of meaning and tone between the two languages is obvious. Very interesting but OT - semiotics: http://www.amazon.com/dp/0297830015/?tag=pfamazon01-20 Note...

Yes, the article is real. I obtained a copy of yesterday's Asahi Shimbum from a neighbor. The article is on page 5 from the 15th May. I've scanned the full article for those who are interested.

Plutonium detected in rice paddy by a food manufacturer more than 50 kms away from Fukushima power plant: http://jbpress.ismedia.jp/articles/-/7890?page=2 また、ある食品メーカーが独自に調査した結果では、福島第一原発から50キロ以上離れた水田の土から、政府が発表している数値よりケタ違いに高い放射線が検出されたという。 Additionally, a certain food manufacturing company...

A couple of WSPEEDI forecasts have been released by MEXT (24th and 25th March, towards the bottom of the page): http://www.mext.go.jp/a_menu/saigaijohou/syousai/1305747.htm The more interesting link is for the 25th March which contains estimated accumulated iodine 131...

This link mentions 34 中性子計装管 "neutron instrumentation pipes". Sorry I don't know how to translate this properly and whether it is relevant to your calculations. Maybe someone can translate it better and shed more light on the relevancy. http://headlines.yahoo.co.jp/hl?a=20110512-00001114-yom-sci

I read it that way at first too. Without putting words into AntonL's post it had the article "the" before "reactors" which would indicate the particular reactors that are being discussed at Fukushima.

Very interesting. Particularly the timing between the magnitude 7.1 earthquake and the CAMS d/w data. Keep in mind that there have been a large number of aftershocks/earthquake ongoing near Fukushima. I've attached a screenshot from the QuakeZones iOS app which I've filtered to earthquakes of...
