Media is confusing you with sloppy reporting...
The 50%-haircut, which is still not fully agreed yet, will only be suffered by the private lenders (thank God) and will total a haircut of only approx 20% of the outstanding sovereign greek debt...
I have two questions.
A few weeks ago we saw estimations of total amount av radioactive materials emitted to the atmosphere made by NSC and I think Tepco. Should these estimations be updated now since we since then now know there has been a meltdown in #1, #2, and #3?
Has anyone made an...
I was thinking that the amount of steam generated was proportional to how much heat that is generated, no matter what the temperatures are in the pools of water.
I guess I am assuming steady state, which I can't assume since the temperatures are rising and falling as well as water levels due to...
Would it be possible to make a decent estimation of how much heat that is generated from unit 2-4 from videovisuals of how much steam that is generated?
Is the idea too wild? Old stupid idea probably...
(I have no live feed now, but I had earlier)
The camera died for me... is the periodicity of the camera functioning correlated with locomotive effect you are mentioning?
Actually, a locomotice is a great analogy since it can pruduce both smoke and steam, exactly like Fukushima Daiichi.
Thank you for comments.
1. Maybe it is consistent, but don't you think that the ratio is "too" high, suggesting significant release of I-131 to the atmosphere (in the order of PBq) ? Also it the pool has been diluted due to cooling operations the release of I-131 to atmosphere could be even...

New nuclide analysis of sea water. Record high levels of I-131 and Cs-137 30 km from Daiichi.
Increasing ratio I-131/Cs-137 in "Sub-drainage of Unit 2" indicates criticality occurred somewhere in Unit 2?

I'm trying to learn more about bioaccumulation, which is a new concept for me. Does anyone have some link to some credible material with concentration factors of for example Cs-137 in fish?
I have of course tried to search myself... with little success.
Thank you for the updated estimates. ZAMG:s upper boundary is still less than the total Chernobyl emissions of the same isotopes (from the great source of Wikipedia).
Yes, I know, I haven't seen any total estimations of emission of any nuclide directly to the sea. That is one of the reasons I...
