|Fred said:ok Bad news ... Smoke coming out of reactor n°3 at 17:15 JSP , workers had to be evacuated, cause of smoke unknown-ed, no work done on n°3 today Smoke not steam ... Smoke black then grey
sorry for double post we posted the same info simultaneously
edit: Japanese Authorities ,report no augmentation in radioactivity or change in pressure (where?), therefore they do not conclude yet that the Smoke comes from the combustion of radioactive materials.
What are the physics of moving radiation?
I understand that e.g. the radiation from the SFP are NOT measured on groundlevel near the NPP, since the walls of the SFP catches the radiation, so I would REALLY like to read a measurement of radiation above the SFP. That could be HUGE numbers.
And the next thing - the steam from the SFP, what kind of radioactive particles will it carry upwards? Propably near nothing.
The problem will rise the moment fuelrods are breached, and e.g. burned, so that radioactive particles are carried with the ashes and fumes out of the SFP, and at some time will fall down again, and radiate.
Can someone update me on the physics involved?
B'regards
