Can be charged via the telecom line, too.<br />Good also as pole counterweight. Not so cold-sensitive like high-tech batteries.<br />It's just a matter of relative positioning of battery/sensor, and applying a calibrated correction factor.Atomfritznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1765307840677473617.post-88172112353836882302012-11-07T21:57:13.778-08:002012-11-07T21:57:13.778-08:00At this point, it's clear the government decid...At this point, it's clear the government decided that abandoning the country wasn't an option, and they forced that decision onto everyone else by downplaying the situation and ridiculing anyone opposing their views.<br /><br />These actions made it difficult for anyone to seriously consider evacuating. I wonder how things would have turned out if they'd fully supported and respected people who wanted to leave?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1765307840677473617.post-79364842204480701222012-11-07T19:15:51.696-08:002012-11-07T19:15:51.696-08:00Who wants to bet the 10% number is actually higher...Who wants to bet the 10% number is actually higher? So here's a "baseless rumor" that turned out to be true I wonder how many other "rumors" are based in facts. How long did it take the locals to convince MEXT they were on to their shenanigans? <br /><br />"Ministry of Education says it did not expect the shielding effect of the batteries."<br /><br />Yeah, who would ever think that something as dense as lead would shield the device. This is like shooting someone and then being bewildered that the lead bullet penetrated their body. <br /><br />"It seems the density of the lead in conjunction with the speed of its trajectory actually did kill all these people, sorry about that we'll try harder MEXT time". <br /><br />Isn't the best way to fix this problem to outlaw private radiation monitoring. I'm surprised the JGOV didn't demand the private detectors be turned in for "proper" calibration.

There are some bureaucrats who should be looking for new jobs. We need to hold them accountable.
