Meanwhile in TEPCO land in Fukushima, it's a steady stream of slowly degrading systems and equipment that were hastily assembled last year.
According to TEPCO's plant status report on June 19, 2012 (Japanese only; there is no English version), a TEPCO worker noticed a hissing sound coming from the flexible duct from the Reactor 3 Containment Vessel Gas Management System on June 19 at about 12:19PM. The Gas Management System is located on the 1st floor of the Reactor 3 turbine building. The duct had been damaged for some unknown reason, and TEPCO says the damage has been temporarily patched up with tape while the cause is being investigated. The company says there has been no effect on the pressure inside the Containment Vessel, the amount of hydrogen gas inside the CV, or the amount of gas flowing through the Gas Management System.

Makes you wonder how many hissing sounds are occurring in the areas of the plant that no human can yet reach with their ears or their duct tape.
Newest nuclear disaster recovery technology from Japan: tape.
Incompetent Fools....Fuckwits to be precise...
Breaking News: the TEPCO repair guide has just been published, so that KEPCO and others can re-use it for fixing their own nuclear pressure cooker woes.

For lazy or paranoid people who won't check out the diagram, it boils down to : whatever's stuck can be unstuck by WD-40 whereas whatever moves but shouldn't can be fixed with duct tape. Of course, this applies to leaks and jammed doors.
Duct Tape and WD-40 ... Classic.I think the Gamma rays are turning them Canadian,im fairly convinced they will soon play Ice Hockey and guzzle Maple Syrup due to massive DNA radiation damage ... God help Japan.
GREAT IDEAS
Tape Intombment
It's just an entire country that's going to die, it's not like it should be taken seriously in any way at any time, we have plenty of people populated countries. What's 140 million, these people aren't worried. I mean it's just spent nuclear fuel in your air water and soil, no biggy.
If high level radiological contamination wasn't safe they wouldn't burn it and add more contamination to the air, water and soil and everything that lives.
Speaking of hissing sounds
Revisit the early days...before tape

Restart
Relicense
Power uprates for all
Grow the economy!
I mean look at the cabbages and cedars for instance, their dna is completely trashed, they are no longer viable parts of the biosphere and never will be, theres no magic wand for that, that's what happened and not only that it was helped along almost perfectly purposefully so that nothing and no one escapes, you can disagree it's a free country? but I have no doubt not a single thing in japan is genetically viable anylonger. That is quite a feat!
The end of a subset of the human species, barring those few who escaped like >iori mochizuki of fukushima diary ;)

You forgot the chewing gum & baling wire. I think they could "MacGyver" a coherent laser with that, some sunlight & chewing-gum wrapper!
Next thing you know, they're going to have hankerin's for doughnuts & coffee @ Horton's.
I wonder if they wear toques under those Tyvek suits?
Am i the only one that perceives that some may not be bright enough to light an LED? Or is it just me?
Remember, polymer from disposable diapers, shredded newspapers, sawdust, Onsen bath salts as tracer to figure out and plug the leak of contaminated water (over 1 sievert/hour, survey meter went overscale)? That was back in April last year.
It's actually sad...
Heads up folks.
The New Zealand government has announced that there is no Fukushima radiation detected in New Zealand!
Radioactive particles observe NZ anti-nuclear law and stay out of the country.
a few ozzie blokes with some coat hangers and corrogated iron would have it sorted in a jiffy.
proven to last 500 years (well, at the last barbie that's what me mate figured after some beer tests).

Well the Japanese.corp.gov said there was no Fukushima radiation detected in Japan.. so nuh nuh to you
Have your air filters tested for radioisotopes completely free of charge.
