The explosion occurred outside of the building that houses reactors at the facility and did not change conditions at the site, the company said.<br />Workers reported the explosion at 2:30 p.m. Tuesday local time in Japan. TEPCO said workers were using unmanned heavy machinery to remove debris at the site when the machinery damaged the cylinder, causing it to burst. There were no changes in radiation levels within the plant site and no injuries were reported.Home Inspector Experthttp://homeinspectionmarketingcenter.com/establish-yourself-as-the-go-to-expert/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1765307840677473617.post-48480707696212489642011-05-31T09:18:12.575-07:002011-05-31T09:18:12.575-07:00Robbie001 sez:

I found an article that claims the Japanese nuclear industry doesn't just buy the media they also buy the towns where they site their reactors. <br /><br />"Tokyo has been able to essentially buy the support, or at least the silent acquiescence, of communities by showering them with generous subsidies, payouts and jobs. In 2009 alone, Tokyo gave $1.15 billion for public works projects to communities that have electric plants, according to the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. Experts say the majority of that money goes to communities near nuclear plants."<br /><br />"Code of Silence<br /><br />Indeed, a code of silence seems to prevail even now in towns like Kashima, which merged with the neighboring city of Matsue a half decade ago.<br /><br />Tsuneyoshi Adachi, a 63-year-old fisherman, joined the huge protests in the 1970s and 1980s against the plant's No. 2 reactor. He said many fishermen were angry then because chlorine from the pumps of the plant's No. 1 reactor, which began operating in 1974, was killing seaweed and fish in local fishing grounds.<br /><br />However, Mr. Adachi said, once compensation payments from the No. 2 reactor began to flow in, neighbors began to give him cold looks and then ignore him. By the time the No. 3 reactor was proposed in the early 1990s, no one, including Mr. Adachi, was willing to speak out against the plant. He said that there was the same peer pressure even after the accident at Fukushima, which scared many here because they live within a few miles of the Shimane plant".<br /><br />http://mobile.nytimes.com/article?a=796752&single=1&f=111Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1765307840677473617.post-37810816976543377812011-05-30T18:06:48.481-07:002011-05-30T18:06:48.481-07:00Robbie001 sez

I think this would be accelerated if they are eating contaminated food in a contaminated environment. Even if they have special clean rooms to eat in it can be hard to control contamination transport and I doubt they have special eating quarters. Eating drinking and smoking are all very bad things to do in a radioactively contaminated environment.<br /><br />I figured they would only count external dose and call it good. The next phase will be to certify that "some" of the workers are "OK" and step up the dose limit to 500 mSv. I'm pretty sure I've read the IAEA has suggested a 1000 mSv exposure level isn't out of the question. <br /><br />I wonder if the 150 people includes all the police and military who were first responders? It wouldn't be unusual if it didn't the US ignored the health of a lot of the 9/11 first responders.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1765307840677473617.post-73076254106937574782011-05-30T17:19:21.261-07:002011-05-30T17:19:21.261-07:00So given the extended timescales, I suppose they w...So given the extended timescales, I suppose they will need to burn through more workers… sadly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
