People still cling to buzzwords like skyshine and hot particles, neutron beams, etc. Rather than raise the level of knowledge about nuclear physics, I fear this accident has made everyone a bit more stupid. I just read a news article from February 2014 that said the USS Ronald Reagan "is now so radioactive it cannot be scrapped or used again", which is nonsense that can be easily verified as such.

"Exposure to free neutrons ca...From Wikipedia:<br />"Exposure to free neutrons can be hazardous, since the interaction of neutrons with molecules in the body can cause disruption to molecules and atoms, and can also cause reactions that give rise to other forms of radiation (such as protons)."<br /><br />Interesting how the graphs and data are tailored not to show all the inventory being released. Not that TEPCO could have monitored it all in such high dose rates. All explanations of events are guesses by TEPCO with caveats with a bent to avoid mentioning criticalities which doesn't have to include sustained chain reactions. They do mention spontaneous fission which is fissile materials overloaded with neutrons fracturing on their own into two or three pieces which leaves a signature.<br /><br />TEPCO does the kabuki around U(s) and Pu(s) distilling out first like they are missing somewhere from the equation. Fissile U and PU doesn't require water to react, hydrogen is also a moderator. Plus the unknown of a couple thousand, hour or less, half lives of daughter products created besides some new parent elements or tritium assists a nuke pit but the apologist don't believe a melt could configure itself to fissile a little bit even with Unit 3's core being 1/4 MOX about 5% Pu rich or about a ton of Pu just a tiny bit to deal with, huh? Not counting any new creation. Designed supposedly not to have a runaway reaction but that is in a controlled environment, melting down adds new parameters. What if the Pu settled together, wouldn't that suck? Plus Unit 3 was without any water, heat generation must have been tremendous causing everything to vaporize ending in a fireworks show. So you have nuke solids turning atomized and 3 meltdowns going on at once in various stages. Makes the facts as clear as a bell. The neutron beams were clearly observed from choppers in the aftermath of the explosions.<br /><br />They knew Unit 3 was about to blow and evacuated. Unit 2 caught them off guard or when do you add water or when do you don't add water during meltdown stages? Autopsy the couple of firemen who died when Unit 2 went lit off, might give some clues. On the job training in real time.<br /><br />Flame away.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1765307840677473617.post-49981282291254320842014-08-08T20:05:21.794-07:002014-08-08T20:05:21.794-07:00Yosaku, thank you.
