Japanese gov makes Fukushima evac zone compulsory
Japanese authorities have elected to make a recommended evacuation zone around the damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear powerplant compulsory and ordered residents of some communities beyond the zone to evacuate, despite the fact that radiation levels beyond the plant fence are dropping steadily and are nowhere such as to cause …
Hmm, who to believe?
In the blue corner, a journo who spent the week after the tsunami saying the situation couldn't possibly get worse. And every time he said it, things got worse.
In the red corner the people who are having to deal with it on the ground
Tricky one that.
It got worse?
not much choice
Since the journo is basing his story on the facts delivered by the people on the ground, you're not leaving us with much of a choice is it?
Ok on one hand we have reports that not all of the reactors have been stabilised (one with large cracks in the casing) with potential remaining for meltdown, leading the government to escalate the severity of the incident ...
... and on the other hand we have Lewis telling us its all fine and they're scaremongers because the current reported radiation levels *outside* of the plant are low.
Large cracks in the casing? Yet can still hold pressure...
They're melting down the cores
If you had bothered to look at facts before you started ranting, you would've seen that the temperatures of all three cores have been hovering somewhere between 100 and 200°C for the past weeks. Hardly a temperature at which your beloved meltdown would be possible.
Same goes for the 'leaky' #2 containment. The spilling has been dammed off and They're planning to close the leak in the coming weeks.
You know, it's not for nothing that the govt send recovery-crews into the evacuation zone a while ago. They would've never risk the lives of people to recover dead bodies. That's a basic fact of all rescue/recovery work.
Ahhhh, good. Lewis is back
with his hard-hitting Fair and Balanced(TM) factual reporting.
Sponsored by the Nuclear Energy Institute, I presume?
Or perhaps the UK Nuclear Industry Association:

BP Gulf of Mexico Accident
How does this measure up against the oil drilling accident last year?
11 people killed during the accident
countless animals and sea organisms killed by the oil pollution
livelihoods wrecked
continuing human and wildlife ill-effects from the lingering pollution.
Measured on the same scale as a nuclear accident, that's got to be a 10 surely??
And, it was caused by cost cutting / incompetence not an almost unprecedented natural disaster...
Be quiet! They're sleeping the sleep of the righteous. They don't want to be reminded of last year's disasters, especially not in the context of pleading for a bit of perspective on the part of the fearmongers, most especially not when last year's disasters weren't made out of nuclear demons, which every God-fearing righteous person knows are the satraps of Satan. How dare you seek to snatch the torches and pitchforks from their hands?
Personal experience re: radiation casualties
My family in Eastern France was heavily affected by the Chernobyl fallout.
One of my cousins died of leukemia as a result of the fallout. Doctors determined that the source of radiation was a rainstorm when he was outside.
My aunt, who works a small farm, was similarly affected and had to have her thyroid removed. So where thousands of other people in the region.
The point is, it's not just about the radiation levels measured, but also the risk of localized high exposure due to atmospheric transport. The later is much worse and rather unpredictable. Eastern France was heavily impacted by highly localized concentrations of fallout, some of which was higher than the Ukraine evacuation zone. There are still places where you can't use the milk or grass to this day.
And, before you say "this isn't Chernobyl - it's not a burning reactor" - sure, but it's stuff that has a nasty tendency to evaporate (e.g. h2o). It may not be quite as bad, but if it takes 9 months to clean, how much is going to evaporate, esp with a ready heat source (never mind the weather).
Of course, Lewis believes it's perfectly safe, which is easy to preach when you're 6000 miles from the danger. IMHO, it's much better for the locals to play it safe, even overly safe, rather than be sorry after the fact.
Not bashing Lewis or even nuclear power, but I also think that a dose of reality is required and nothing is more real than death.
Just FYI...
H[2]O isn't radioactive. It doesn't matter how much water evaporates, because the evaporating water isn't the problem--it's the stuff that's floating around in that water, which is not especially inclined just to bugger off into the air whenever it likes. The vapor pressure of heavy ions in water is not very impressive.
The Chernobyl fire, I wish to add, was no ordinary graphite fire. The RBMK-1000 is a very large reactor, and contains hundreds of tons of graphite. When graphite burns, it burns extremely hot, and when hundreds of tons of it are on fire, all full of molten reactor parts, it's not a pretty picture. Evaporating water vapor is no good at carrying relatively dense radioactive materials into the air, but a plume of graphite-powered hellfire that burns for nine or ten days is quite adept at sending particles of soot and dust, contaminated with radioactive substances because that soot came directly from the same flaming heap that contains the remains of the fuel rods, high into the atmosphere. You will never find a fan that's as good at moving air as that fire was, nor a better way of dispersing dust laden with little bits of radioactive materials than a big, hot column of fire.
The end result is that a nontrivial fraction of the mass of the fuel went straight into the atmosphere--It actually produced about four hundred times more fallout than the Hiroshima bombing! For Fukushima Daiichi to reproduce this effect would require the construction of quite an impressive bonfire.
Your closing line, by the way, is kind of ironic since the only deaths recorded at either of the Fukushima sites have been from blunt force trauma of one sort or another.
This isn't Chernobyl.
...but not entirely because it isn't a burning reactor, though it also isn't Chernobyl because of that. This isn't Chernobyl because the wind swept the fallout plume straight out over the planet's widest ocean, which diluted the fallout so thoroughly by the time it reached North American shores that even the New Scientist didn't try to pretend it was anything other than barely detectable with the most sensitive instruments available. I don't pretend it is remotely desirable to contaminate even the planet's largest ocean with radioactive debris; on the other hand, I also don't imagine the problem to be more than the large-scale, though low-mortality, industrial accident that it is.
It's also not Chernobyl because evaporation of water is not going to produce radioactive steam: water contains fallout but, absent direct neutron activation which is not happening here, does not become fallout. Since the radioactive particles in the water, mostly isotopes of cesium and iodine, are heavier than the water molecules themselves, the water won't carry the fallout with it as it evaporates. (Evaporative purification also lies at the heart of most processes used in the desalination of seawater. Also, I'm not any kind of chemist, but I'm pretty sure a chemist wouldn't slap me for describing it the way I just have.)
I don't believe Mr. Page is arguing that it's "perfectly safe" or that people in the vicinity of the Fukushima plant should behave exactly as they ordinarily would; any large-scale industrial accident is likely to contaminate the surrounding countryside, and Fukushima is no different. As far as I can tell, Mr. Page has been arguing around two major points: first, that this accident has at no point approached the scale of the Chernobyl disaster; and, second, that as with every nuclear accident since the Chernobyl disaster, this is a large-scale industrial accident which, for no good or sensible reason whatsoever and to great human and economic cost, is being treated as though it portends the very wrath of God.
That may sound like a sarcastic and cynical exaggeration, but it is nothing of the sort; as Mr. Page and many others have, over the last month, been at great and lengthy pains to illustrate, when an oil rig blows up and dumps enough oil into the water to all but slaughter an entire sea, it's old hat to anyone not directly affected before the headlines have even had time to die down. But when it comes to a nuclear incident -- *every* nuclear incident, no matter the details -- the gloves come off, the forebrains are shut down, and people behave exactly as did Middle Ages peasants when confronted with the terrible specter of Satan walking up and down in the land.
Compared to that, what's a brand-new dead and toxic sea? Compared to that, what's a mere ten thousand or so people killed and as many over again left unaccounted for in a completely forgettable natural disaster on an utterly disinteresting scale equalled by only a very few such totally banal events in recorded human history?
But there's a bigger problem. One way or another, whether the peak oil theorists turn out right or the AGW folks get their way, we're almost certainly going to be burning less oil fifty years from now than we are right now, and the decline will continue as time grinds on -- and natural gas is finite, too, even if there is a fair bit more of it left to dig up. (And even if the oil'll never run out and global warming isn't and ice cream rains from the skies, it's still not like exhaust fumes are *good* for anybody.)
We obviously can't wait fifty years to start bringing new generation capacity online, whichever mix of technologies we turn out to use. Wind and solar might be to a point in fifty years where they can sustain a significant amount of baseload power generation, or they might not; I'm not knowledgeable enough even to pretend I have a guess one way or another. But I do know they aren't there right now and aren't going to be ten or twenty years from now, either.
Right now, solar and wind put together don't even supply three percent of the world's actual energy consumption, and they still haven't gotten over the problems of the sun going down every night and the wind going this way and that: wind and solar are *interruptible*, which is a pretty big problem (especially for forests, and also for cities) when it means you can't run your space heater at the coldest time of the night, and a very big problem when it means a hospital can't run the extremely power-hungry equipment it uses to keep people not dead, and a goddamned enormous problem when it starts telling on our capacity to keep people fed.
So, because wind and solar are interruptible and because there are many processes, some immediately or eventually critical to human life, which aren't, we can't implement those technologies without putting a separate, conventional technology in place to supply power when the clean'n'green plants are forced offline by utterly ordinary environmental conditions. (Or, at any rate, we can't do that unless we *want* a lot of people to die pretty damn quick, and a lot more to die a lot sooner than they otherwise would.)
Right now, natural gas is often used to backstop wind and solar, because natural gas can be made to work much more reliably; on the other hand, if we're talking about a future in which carbon emissions are radically curtailed -- and, one way or another, it seems that we are -- then we can't assume natural gas or any other petrochemical fuel will be available or acceptable as a backstop technology. That leaves dams, needing rare (and mostly already populated) favorable geography, and tending to kill far more people than any reactor when they fail; geothermal, needing favorable geography and just not up to much in terms of raw output; wave power, which I'm still convinced is nothing more than some engineer's perverse joke that got far too far out of hand; and nuclear, which is reliable and renewable and can be made to be quite clean -- but only, I'm convinced, once we start coming up with governments with brains and backbone enough to say, and make stick, that some things are too damned important and too damned dangerous to be used for making money on.
Because that, I remain firmly convinced, is the root of the problem. A company like TEPCO isn't doing nuclear; they're doing money, and nuclear is just a tool with which they've chosen to do it. If that tool isn't fit for purpose, it'll be ground down until it does the job -- which, again, lest we forget, as with any for-profit corporation, is money. That's why they fucked it up, both in Japan and at TMI. (Windscale and Chernobyl do not figure into this particular evaluation; graphite piles without meaningful secondary containment -- even a mope like me can say those people did not start to know what the fuck they were doing.) If we can replace the private nuclear industry we have now with people who are just doing nuclear, who are very good at nuclear and absolutely unshakeable on the point of maximum possible safety, and who don't have to worry about money at all, we almost certainly won't have these problems.
Of course I didn't come up with all that myself; unless I'm very much mistaken, it is another point lately made in these Pages, with the suggestion that the people required be drawn from the engineering departments of the various nuclear navies, and employed by a tax-funded agency with absolute, unquestioned, and *sovereign* responsibility over every reactor and every significant mass of active material in a jurisdiction coterminous with the boundaries of the nation in which it's organized. (In the US, this might be a third civilian uniformed service, but one I think without precedent in the breadth of its authority and responsibility -- if done right, at least.)
Not that I'm well equipped to evaluate such a proposal on the merits, of course; I'm basically nobody, but I'm a reasonably clever nobody, and in light of the problems with zero-emissions generation technology, it sounded like a damn good idea to me.
I don't want to seem unsympathetic about the harm the Chernobyl disaster did your family and many others. I don't know, of course, but I like to hope I'd say the same thing if I lived downwind from a nuclear plant, or if I lived downwind of Fukushima. (Though admittedly I'd have to be living on an anchored ship or a stationary houseboat or something.)
And I agree that a dose of reality is required. Here's hoping my attempt at same has been helpful.
Who, then, shall do it?
"If we can replace the private nuclear industry we have now with people who are just doing nuclear, who are very good at nuclear and absolutely unshakeable on the point of maximum possible safety, and who don't have to worry about money at all, we almost certainly won't have these problems."
I agree with your comments, and am in sympathy with them, except for the part about replacing what we have now. Because if it isn't a business making energy, it's either a government or a priesthood of some sort. Neither governments nor priesthoods have a good record of staying on-mission.
I'm open to a better suggestion
I would sure as hell rather entrust the responsibility to a government agency than to a for-profit corporation with a powerful incentive against maximal safety built into its very nature. I certainly do not want a nuclear priesthood. I don't like any of those options particularly, but government is the one of them I dislike least, and this is far from a perfect world. But I'd love to hear about any plausible fourth alternative you've come up with.
And, to clarify, I'm not talking about handing over the entire generation industry to the Nucleonics Service or whatever it'd end up being called; to vaguely paraphrase whoever I ripped off the idea from, everything from the turbine hall out can belong to a company and be run for profit, but the reactors themselves *must* be operated and maintained by an agency which, all the way up the line, is made out of people who are there to do nuclear, instead of using nuclear to do money.
Hand it over to the scientists and the prices become uncompetitive
Hand it over to the scientists and the industry dies because the prices become uncompetitive, because the prices are determined by construction and operation costs, not by fuel costs.
Dead in the water (so to speak) either way. Might as well accept it sooner rather than later.
@ Aaron Em - the fourth alternative
The problem is perhaps not so much who should be entrusted with responsibility to run the nuclear industry but who is available to staff it and how many people have any real understanding of the science behind it.
While the UK had been up with the world leaders in the early days of the nuclear engineering,.in the decades since North Sea Oil and the Dash for Gas the industry has been in serious decline. Other than a small number of graduates who see a career in weaponry, there has been hardly any new blood going into the industry.
As in other areas, rigorous democratic accountability would provide appropriate safeguards. But this requires both that processes and procedures should be open to inspection by the 'thousand eyes' of the general public and also that people as a whole have sufficient comprehension of the issues and the technology to make sense of what they see.
Now that nuclear weapons are somewhat outdated there is no longer any great need for secrecy. The problem then comes down to how to teach the basics of nuclear science to the general public and to encourage a new generation of engineers and scientists. If comments on El Reg are a guide, this is likely to be a long haul.
I'm talking about handing it over to the engineers.
David Pollard's point, on the other hand, I find compelling.
"I certainly do not want a nuclear priesthood"
But... "Church of the Children of Atom" sounds nice...
Got better things to do than worship a lump of two-hundred-year-old unexploded ordnance, thanks.
Time to consider just building the reactors on large floating platforms
Easy Cooling, easy failsafety, lots of shielding around, easily defended against terros and greens.
Rogue waves, electricty transport, damage due to sea environment and fuel rod logistics would be a problem though.
The scary thing about cancer...
@Si 1 "...anyone who gets cancer doesn't automatically sue the government and Tepco for billions of yen?"
The scary thing about cancer, is that at least 30% of the population is going to come down with cancer anyways.
The fat lady has not sung yet.
What I said in the title.
"oil drilling accident last year?"
That oil drilling accident was rather messy wasn't it. Still, at least till the Yanks and their hangers-on cut down on their gas guzzlers so that there's enough affordable oil left for petrochemical feedstocks for them and maybe a bit left over for the rest of the world, the world has little option but to continue drilling for oil. No cheap oil, no cheap petrochemicals, no cheap transport. No cheap petrochemicals, no agribusiness. No cheap petrochemicals, no cheap plastic. No cheap transport, no globalization. No globalization, no global finance business. Think about it for a nanosecond or two.
Meanwhile, are there any alternatives to nuclear electricity? Starting with nice low tech low cost options like basic energy efficiency measures in commercial and industrial premises in the West? No, you're quite right, it can't possibly be done, it would probably involve creating local jobs for local people.
And then
after the wind mills are installed , we have weather like we've had in the past 2 months
Nothing like a nice blocking high pressure system to generate electricity from wind
perhaps if we put green party supporters in hamster wheels we could generate power
Not without precedent
"perhaps if we put green party supporters in hamster wheels we could generate power"
Well, they were building treadmills in prisons as far back as two centuries ago. Obviously far ahead of their time!
WTF does this have to do with radioactive hot springs in Iran or background radiation in Madras?
So Mr. Page dug up the places on Earth where people are exposed to the highest known levels of naturally occurring background radiation, then proceeded to conclude that everything is fine in Fukushima?
More false parallels. The radiation in Fukushima isn't coming from hot springs in the ground or any other naturally occuring, steady, low-level emissions source. It's coming from a fucking man-made nuclear power plant that suffered multiple explosions, contaminated tap water as far as Tokyo, spewed radioactive cesium all over the ground, and is still not under control. Periodic massive spikes in radiation exposure have occurred, uncontrolled leakage of radation into the ocean has occurred, and the plant lies in ruins, shattered concrete and twisted rebar all over, containment bolts blasted loose, etc.
Like it or not, any part of that plant could suffer an unforeseen malfunction at any time.
Mr. Page's argument is tantamount to standing in a wildfire evacuation zone saying "the smoke exposure here is less than what someone gets who smokes a 2 packs a day of unfiltered cigarettes in Iran every day for a year, and I don't see the government of Iran banning cigarettes. Therefore this evacuation zone is bullshit. Pay no mind to the negligible soot in the air or the houses burnt to the ground a few miles down the road."
Am I glad that things in Fukushima appear to be gradually coming under control, and radiation doses are (thankfully) not catastrophically high to the surrounding population? Most certainly. It is my most fervent hope that Fukushima comes under control soon and the whole thing is either shitcanned under concrete or safely rebuilt and run under even higher safety standards in future. Japan has little choice but to use nuclear power on a large scale. And once things come under control, no doubt we will be treated to more self-congratulatory crowing and preening from the likes of Messrs. Orlowski and Page.
But dodging a bullet doesn't mean getting shot at is safe. And long-term, nuclear power is not less dangerous than coal, oil, wind, solar, etc. It is immeasurably more risky and dangerous. The argument is not about how many people have or have not died or gotten ill due to nuclear accidents, or how effective safety precautions have been thus far over the brief period of time that humanity has used nuclear power. The argument is about looking at the ramifications of the worst-case scenario. Chernobyl gave us a good long look at that, and now Fukushima has given us another glimpse.
Eh... So, what *is* the worse that can happen?
Quoted: "And long-term, nuclear power is not less dangerous than coal, oil, wind, solar, etc. It is immeasurably more risky and dangerous."
But based upon what? Quantify it for me. In what way is nuclear *more* dangerous long term? Or, because it's immeasurable, that it can't be measured, but surely -- nod, nod, wink, wink -- it's more. It.. it's just GOT to be!
As far as I can tell, the question about "What's the worst that could happen"? Is not answered, especially not from the people who are fretting about the worst that can happen, but being scared about the answer to that question is already worse than what has happened.
Can we get a missed-the-point icon please?
WTF does this have to do with radioactive hot springs in Iran or background radiation in Madras?
Simple: the naturally occurring radiation exposure in those locations is higher than at Fukushima but no one is being evacuated from there. Oh, I forgot that's "natural" radiation so it's alright.[/SARCASM]
Missed the point?
Cpt Blue Bear: "Simple: the naturally occurring radiation exposure in those locations is higher than at Fukushima but no one is being evacuated from there. Oh, I forgot that's "natural" radiation so it's alright.[/SARCASM]"
No, it's not that simple. It is unlikely that the hot springs in Iran will suddenly display a temporary spike in radiation thousands of times normal or start spewing radioactive cesium all over the ground. My point, which you clearly missed in your blind haste to triumphantly thump your chest, was not that naturally occurring radiation in the two locales Mr. Page dug up on Wikipedia was any the less harmful for being naturally occurring. My point was and is that the Fukushima plant is not under control and has blown up several containment buildings (but not to worry, says Mr. Page, that's a design feature) and has spewed tons of radioactive water into the sea (but not to worry, says Mr. Page, if you pee in a large enough swimming pool no-one will notice) and has in general exhibited no signs of stability just yet (but not to worry, says Mr. Page, we should look for our guidance on radiation safety levels to countries where stoning adulterers and pooping in the street are still the norm). The reason there is an evacuation zone in Fukushima and not Madras is there is a nuclear plant that just blew up and puked radiation all over the place in Fukushima, and not Madras. As to whether the Iranians or Indians should evacuate areas where the populace is exposed to higher than normal levels of radation, that is another question entirely. It is a question of resources, policy, governance, etc. for those countries, and has fuck-all to do with whether or not it is safe to go scarfing down the cesium-tainted produce outside the gates of a nuclear power plant with three reactors suffering compromised fuel integrity and unknown containment integrity. I hope that makes it "simple" enough for you, Captain.
It is on the other hand highly unlikely that the background radiation in those places will ever subside. This in contrary to Fukushima....
More Axe Grinding by Mr. Lewis
The evacuations are probably not so much for the current levels of radiation, but to reduce the loss of life if any one of many possible catastrophic situations releases far higher amounts of radiation.
But it is more convenient for Mr. Lewis axe grinding arguments if he simply ignores this possibility.
We are several weeks into the disaster and they have barely made any progress towards getting this actually under control. The entire plant is too radioactive for the workers to actually do much to fix the problem. Robots had to be used recently just to make a survey, and they found lethal levels of radiation in large areas of the plant.
We still risk a huge steam explosion spraying huge amounts of lethal radiation if molten material ever contacts ground water.
"We still risk a huge steam explosion spraying huge amounts of lethal radiation if molten material ever contacts ground water."
[Citation needed]
And how do you imagine that steam explosion is to come about...
five weeks or more post shutdown?
Take ten minutes and think about how much heat's actually being generated now - and how much was generated in the hours immediately following shutdown, when fuel rods failed, but (from the isotopes found) little or no actual fuel melted.
Then think how, if there wasn't enough heat to penetrated reactor vessels then, quite how you'd produce enough now.
As long as things are out of full control, there are catastrophic consequences possibile
If the pile continues to melt and/or oxidize, the nuclear materials can concentrate below the control rods and thus the reactor can reach critical levels and get so hot it melts through the concrete / steel enclosure. This could happen in a fairly catastrophic way.
It would then hit ground water and make a huge explosion.
Oh for feck's sake
Why don't you try learning about how this reactor works instead of spouting nonsense?
Geoffrey Swenson - simply not so
No, that's simply not the case.
even were the remaining fuel to slump to the bottom of the RPV, it's now simply not generating enough heat to cause significant damage - as I said, in the order of 5MW.
Even some very basic heat transfer calculations would tell you that the rate of heat removal (conduction and subsequent convection) into the containment would easily remove that, with even interior temperatures got getting much over the normal operating temperatures (in the order of 300C).
I'll point out that Three Mile Island saw worse conditions, including slumped fuel, without significant penetration into the RPV wall - something of the order of 10mm in a 200mm wall thickness. A BWR is less prone to this than a PWR, simply because the bottom head of the RPV has multiple penetration spigots (for control rods etc), which prevent the formation of a single mass, even were there to be a full-scale melting of the core.
I hope you're right about this
While I have a long disused degree in mechanical engineering I don't know the specifics of this particular plant in a way that I could make accurate-enough heat transfer estimates. I was only quoting the concerns of one of the scientists interviewed on the Rachel Maddow show during her coverage of the early unfolding disaster.
I did know that TMI was way worse, in some ways, than what we were originally led to believe. The reactor reached a state that was predicted o be at risk of a melt down. The only thing that saved us from that consequence was these calculations about how the pile would melt and go back to criticality were too conservative, so the melting and the concentration of nuclear material in the resulting unplanned experiment was considerably less than the predictions.
I don't know for sure if we would get as lucky for this ongoing unplanned experiment into new modes of nuclear-related heat transfer and degradation. I also wonder what is going on with all of the corrosive salt from the desperation seawater cooling used right after the disaster, which is something that we have no experience of whatsoever.
A question to Andydaws
Every now and again somebody raises the fear that if the fuel melts it can lead to a criticality excursion.
I just don't see how it could possibly happen in a LWR with low-enriched fuel (even if it will all melts and pools down at the bottom - where will the moderator be?) but would appreciate if Andy could opine on that. Thanks.
Quite right.
Recall, there are two forms of criticality - on fast (unmoderated) neutrons, and "thermal" neutrons. The capture cross sections of uranium and plutonium for fast neutrons are much smaller than those for thermal neutrons -in the order of 500-1000 barns for thermal neutrons (dependent on the exact energy), and 1 barn for fast neutrons.
Which means that you need much higher enrichment for fast criticality than thermal. For a fast reactor you need around 40% enrichment, for a typical typical thermal plant 2-3% (and there are some designs will run on unenriched uranium, 0.7% u235).
It's very hard to see how you'd still have moderation in a bolus of melted fuel, so if it were to be critical, it'd have to be on fast neutrons - and since the fuel is only 3% enriched, that's not about to happen.
Ideas of ongoing criticality depend on the idea that the fuel is still in a configuration that allows adequate moderation - again, it's hard to see how that would be the case where the fuel is uncovered (there'd be too much neutron leakage above the core, and probably inadequate moderation due to boiling around the parts of the elements still covered.
The other argument was that there was criticality within the spent-fuel ponds - again, hard to imagine how, given that the fuel there would be heavily contaminated with absorbent poisons (that's why it would have been taken out as spent).
Thanks, Andy
That is quite clear now.
I wonder, what the downvoter on your post meant - does he disagree with the theory or numbers (in that case why not explain what the problem is) or is he just cross that you have taken his mental scary toy away...
You're welcome.
As to the downvoter, God knows....
Given that Mr Page always knows -
to his own satisfaction at least - what is safe and what is not, and that he has deemed the region within a radius of 20 km from the Fukushima Daiichi plant to be quite safe, I suggest that he be issued a white coverall and put to work in the teams attempting to deal with the disaster in situ. And do please put a stamp in his passport preventing him from visiting Chennai !...
@ mhenriday
As I've said before, if Reg readers will be so good as to organise a fund for airfares and subsistence, and assuming he is also willing, I'd be happy to join Lewis Page in a trip for a couple of weeks in the 20 km zone.
Perhaps those with political/diplomatic connections might also do a bit of groundwork so that we could be allowed to deliver water and feed to those of the farm animals that have been abandoned and aren't yet dead.
Stating the obvious
I don't understand.. perhaps I am too "illogical"....why there is so much self righteousness from the pro- nuclear side. OK yes, the world will recover from this, yes, other forms of power also have risks, etc, balance of risks and gains in energy policy...
But to be honest it wasn't very good was it? It's kind of amusing watching people falling over themselves to avoid saying this!
There's plenty of surplus food for him to find
Why should we bother with his substinence, he can hunt for his own food, or eat the crops that are not being harvested if he really thinks they are that safe.
I'm up for that, too
Can we have an allowance to drink sake under the cherry trees in Fukushima province?
With regard to this article, surely the reason for the evacuation isn't because of the current levels of radiation, but because there's a possibility of a large sudden increase in radiation if something goes rapidly very wrong at one of the reactors. Or as the Japanese government put it - it's "precautionary".
Why doesn't TEPCO rotate its workers with workers at its other plants every 2 weeks?
Why doesn't TEPCO rotate its workers with workers at its other similar plants every 2 weeks?
It is an outrage that they've got these guys there, making them sleep in their contaminated suits, lying next to one another on a gymnasium floor, no proper food, no proper sleep.

One less thing to worry about today: Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart extend their contracts with Comedy Central
In case you thought that the world was going to hell because of everything that has been in the news lately (this weather, amirite?), you can rest assured that Comedy Central's best fake newscasters will be sticking around for the next couple of years. Jon Stewart will host (and executive produce and write for) The Daily Show with Jon Stewart until mid-2015, Stephen Colbert will continue his hosting, writing, and executive producing duties at The Colbert Report until the end of 2014... But what about the 2016 election? Oh god, panicpanicpanic... (via Deadline)
Daily Show: Sarah Palin pulled "Nigerian prince" scam on donors
Jon Stewart looks at Sarah Palin's fundraising tour across America through which she solicited donations from people who might support her presidential bid, all the while coyly refusing to say whether she was intending to run. Subsequently, it became clear that Palin continued to solicit money long after she'd decided not to run -- Stewart compares this to a "Nigerian Prince" 419 scam.

Home care workers in high demand on High Desert
Personal care aides: an industry not hurting for business.
"We're constantly hiring, so every Tuesday we hire and do an orientation," Right at Home Operations Manager Michelle Wainwright said Thursday.
The in-home care and adult assistance business staffs about 80 people. They specialize in care for the elderly and sick while providing companionship, health care and light domestic work for clients.
"Since 2012, we've doubled in business, Wainwright said.
It could be the most in-demand job on the High Desert.
A new state report highlights job vacancies at a regional level --previously, the report only examined industry vacancies across Oregon.
"Perhaps the surprising industry was almost 40 percent of all the vacancies that we had in Central Oregon were in health care and social assistance," said Regional Economist Damon Runberg.
Personal care aides topped the occupation report that defined Central Oregon as the middle strip of Oregon from Hood River to Lake Counties.
Last year , there were more than 370 job openings for personal care aides.
Other top industries with openings included farm workers and janitorial services.
Central Oregon Janitorial CEO Tara Byers, noting her company's recent growth, said, "Definitely within the last year, we've noticed a lot of high-end businesses reaching out and looking for services."
Byers' company added about 10 full-time employees in 2013. She said she just finished hiring more workers last week.
Runberg said since this is the first report, he can't fully decipher the numbers until a comparison can be made.
However, he said the regional perspective still offers interesting insight.
"Vacancies here in Central Oregon tended to be part-time and temporary," Runberg said.
Runberg said the jobs with higher vacancy rates also tend to pay lower wages. Two-thirds of vacancies paid less than $15 an hour.
He said the vacant occupations salary in Central Oregon pays less than the state average of vacant positions.

Any response on the following question. I know there are lots of geek out there who can help
I need the solution regarding the MAC Laptop printing. We manage printers with pcounter on MS Windows 2003 network. The staff members who have their own mac laptops can directly print bypassing Pcounter to any network printer ( Even if I pause it on the server they still can print).
Any suggestion to stop this on the server or on the printers rather than on the staff mac laptops.

Between 1893 and 1919— 3-decade run referred to as the Golden Age of the American public library system—Carnegie paid to build 1,689 libraries in the U.S. These seeded the DNA for nearly every American library built before the end of World War II. That may explain in part why there is no central accounting for Carnegie's libraries, which were built without any oversight from a formal program or foundation: Even libraries that aren't historical Carnegie libraries share their aesthetic philosophy. — citylab.com

Eighteen feet below one of Rome's most-trafficked junctions is a 900-seat arts center dating back to the second-century reign of Emperor Hadrian, Italian archaeologists have announced.
The discovery, widely seen as the most important in Rome in 80 years, came as a result of digging for the city's third subway line. Archeologists spent the last five years excavating two halls of the structure under the Piazza Venezia, which is believed to be an arts center, or auditorium, built by Hadrian. — artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com

Bond set at $1M for two accused of sexually assaulting, beating teen to death after robbery
MIDDLETOWN, Ohio -- Bond was set at $1 million Tuesday for two men accused of attacking and killing a teen during a drug deal over the weekend.
Police said 36-year-old Michael Geldrich and 39-year-old Michael Watson robbed, beat and sexually assaulted 16-year-old Dione Payne of Dayton, Ohio, before dropping him off at Atrium Medical Center Sunday evening.
Payne was later transferred to Miami Valley Regional Hospital in Dayton where he was pronounced dead.
Authorities were at the scene of the attack at 11 Vernon Street in Franklin Tuesday trying to find the weapon used in the beating.
Investigators said Payne was at the Franklin home to sell drugs to the men when the attack happened.
The suspects later dropped the teen off in a black pickup, authorities said. Less than 24 hours later, the truck was found and both men were arrested.
They are charged with aggravated robbery and aggravated murder.
"Why would you want to beat somebody to death, said Bernice Peters, whose family lives next door to the crime scene. "I mean, I don't know what the situation was and don't want to know but still -- to beat someone to death in your home?"
Franklin Police Chief Russ Whitman said he doesn't know what object was used to beat Payne to death. An autopsy will be performed at the Montgomery County Coroner's Office.
"Hopefully during the autopsy, we will be able to match the injuries or the blunt force trauma to the impact weapon," Whitman said.
Geldrich and Watson, both from Franklin, were arraigned Tuesday in Franklin Municipal Court. They will make another court appearance on Dec. 10.
They could face the death penalty if convicted.

I'm looking at a friend's daughter's Windows 8 Acer laptop.
Every time I try and take a photo or video in the Camera app (the standard Windows one), I get an error message saying "Oops! Something went wrong while taking this photo / video."
I have stumbled my way around Windows 8 and managed to run the app troubleshooter and the hardware and devices troubleshooter. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the Camera app as well. Nothing has worked so far - the camera used to work fine so not sure why it's stopped. I found Snap.Do installed so have taken that off, but it didn't fix the issue.
The other strange thing is that when I try and delete any photos that have already been taken, nothing happens - the photo stays there.
Does anyone have any ideas - I appreciate this is not strictly an Edutech issue but would like any help if possible!

Delta to scrap Memphis hub, cut flights and 230 workers
Delta Air Lines Inc said that it plans to scrap its Memphis, Tennessee, hub in September, cutting 230 jobs and scaling back flights to make the location profitable. Delta plans to drop to about 60 flights a day in September from almost 300 daily flights when Memphis was a hub for Northwest Airlines, which was bought by Delta in 2008. The carrier said in a memo to staff that rising fuel costs and the heavy use of 50-seat regional planes that have become more costly to operate have made Memphis an unprofitable hub. The job cuts, involving airport customer service and Delta Cargo workers, are effective Sept. 3, the memo said. Larry Cox, president and chief executive of the Memphis-Shelby County Airport Authority, said the Memphis airport was looking to attract other airlines. Southwest Airlines Co said last month it plans new flights to Memphis in November. Given the proximity of Memphis to Atlanta, Delta's headquarters city and its biggest hub, the move was not unexpected, Cox said. "The silver lining is that we'll probably get more airline service from other carriers like Southwest that were reluctant to get in here," Cox added. Delta spokesman Anthony Black said Memphis would remain one of Delta's top 10 departure stations but would no longer be a hub. Workers affected by the cuts will have the opportunity to take positions in other locations, he said. (Reuters)

PNP Pilot Rescues Dogs On His Way To EAA Airventure Oshkosh
Before departing Northern CA for Oshkosh I glanced at the PNP mission map and discovered a request from Hot Springs, SD to Minnesota. It just so happened that I had planned a fuel stop at Hot Springs with the next destination Owatonna, MN (just south of Minneapolis). I contacted KC and arranged to pick up 4 strays from the Pine Ridge Reservation where animal control consists of rounding up strays and shooting them. We took the 4 to Minnesota where we were met by local rescue volunteers who took charge of the pups and welcomed them to their new leases on life. Pictured below are 3 of the 4.

The evening was "very enjoyable," according to Jarrett, who also claimed to be "impressed by Murdoch's passion for passing comprehensive immigration reform". "He is an immigrant himself and he understands from a business perspective how important immigration reform would be to our economy," she said. "... Sometimes decisions are tough but it's time for Congress to step up and act now — and that's something he said privately to me, and I was heartened to see him express it publicly." Not coincidentally, Murdoch had an Op Ed in support of comprehensive immigration reform the Wall Street Journal the next day.

Navigation: Linux Kernel Driver DataBase - web LKDDB: Main index - M index
The Linux kernel configuration item
Provides a memory resource controller that manages both anonymous memory and page cache. (See Documentation/cgroups/memory.txt)
Note that setting this option increases fixed memory overhead associated with each page of memory in the system. By this, 8(16)bytes/PAGE_SIZE on 32(64)bit system will be occupied by memory usage tracking struct at boot. Total amount of this is printed out at boot.
Only enable when you're ok with these trade offs and really sure you need the memory resource controller. Even when you enable this, you can set "cgroup_disable=memory" at your boot option to disable memory resource controller and you can avoid overheads. (and lose benefits of memory resource controller)

The good old days of having a doctor come to your home are almost gone. I know of a few old timers who still visit elderly patients they have at home, but that's about it. Here's the changing role of Doctors from a Canadian perspective.
Why? The nature of health care is changing, as is the way we work. Doctors are no longer working 9 to 5, but weekends as well. Coupled with that is the rise of 'after hours duty clinics' where you can see an on-call Physician rather than waiting weeks for an appointment with your regular doctor. As a working person, my work hours typically do not conform to my Physicians hours, which usually means if I'm sick I'll see whoevers available at a Clinic.
Doctors are under stress, no longer are they called upon to prescribe mediations, and simple tests, now their paperwork is becoming unbelievable. Government forms for disability requirements, signing forms to appeal to health orgainzations for a medicine that isn't covered under an individuals drug plan, and the growing knowledge that an operation or test a patient needs, cannot be scheduled for years instead of months, are creating stress.
We've developed a society of 'treat 'em and street em'. Our health care resources are overwhelmed and on their knees. I know of many doctors who put up bulletins at their Secretary's desks informing patients of a 15 minute time limit, regardless of ailment.
Finally of course, is the rate of pay for doctors. Here in Canada its controlled by the government. Doctors keep seeing their list of duties grow, but not their pay. All in all you're lucky to even get a family doctor, never mind one that does housecalls, here in Canada. Many of our doctors are choosing to migrate to the US for better pay and less stress.

I finally got a WOK! I grew up learning how to cook Asian foods and not having a wok when I was finally on my own kinda sucked as stir frying just wasn't the same.
Now I can finally re-live the tastes of home!

Lol...I love that the disclaimer is even there...that's hilarious. Our local Chinese food place is next door to a veterinarian... :)

Cowboy Up for Organ Donation
DCI Desert Dialysis Tucson South
1011 East Pennsylvania Street, Tucson, AZ 85714
The Event
Rodeo roudup/ carnival to promote organ donation.
Location & Address
Tucson South 1011 East Pennsylvania, Tucson, AZ
The DCI Desert Dialysis South Clinic was one of the many proud recipients of the DCI 40 Acts of Service Award. South staff wanted to raise awareness of Chronic Kidney Disease and how organ donation can help. We teamed up with the Donor Network of Arizona. We wanted to capture a piece of Old Pueblo tradition and take advantage of the crowd surrounding the Tucson Rodeo Parade. We named the event "Cowboy Up for Organ Donation" to honor the Tucson tradition. The biggest challenge we faced was a fast approaching deadline, February 24th was 4 weeks away. Our team of "Cowboys" decided to create a Kids Carnival. We had Calf Roping booth, Toilet Paper Toss, Booger Picking Booth, Bean Bag Toss, Water Balloon Toss, Fishing Booth, and a Kidney Shaped Pinata. All of the Carnival Booths were constructed by the South staff using cardboard boxes from our recycling. Jorge Rivera a heart and kidney transplant recipient and former DCI patient was here from Donor Network of Arizona. George Hernandez a kidney and pancreas transplant recipient and former DCI patient was our DJ for the event. We sold carnival tickets 4 for $1.00 and raised $260.00 for our kids to go to Camp Okawehna. The best news, 3 people signed up as donors at the event. Special thanks to Liz Williams, Charge Nurse extraordinaire her dedication and enthusiasm helped to make it a very special event. The teamwork and camaraderie produced by the South Staff to put on this event was incredible. I want to thank all of you for your dedication and compassion to our patients and to DCI. The South staff is a true example of the DCI mission statement, "We Are a Service Organization. The Care of the Patient is Our Reason for Existence".
Date & Time
February 24, 2011, 8:00 AM - 1:00 PM
For More Information
Liz Williams (520) 806-0007
Full details and program guidelines are posted on www.dciinc.org and the DCI intranet. Acts of Service must be coordinated by DCI employees. All DCI employees are welcome to participate. * Award money received from winning the online competition for "Best Act of Service" is to be used for DCI clinic educational purposes. For example: Paying for staff education courses, funding Pre-ESRD courses, or to purchase educational items to be used in the clinic.

Proposition 30, more significant than the youth vote was the impact of minority voters
Younger voters turned out in surprisingly high numbers on Nov. 6, but they didn't spell victory or defeat for Proposition 30 or other key ballot issues, according to the director of the Field Poll.
"It helped the margin of victory, but it didn't change the outcome," Mark DiCamillo said Thursday of a surge in balloting by voters ages 18 to 29 that bolstered support for the Proposition 30 tax measure.
DiCamillo estimated that the unexpectedly large youth vote raised the Proposition 30 tally by about four percentage points, but the measure won by nearly nine percentage points.
DiCamillo and Mark Baldassare, head of the Public Policy Institute of California, dissected election results Thursday at a session of the Sacramento Press Club.
Even more significant than the youth vote was the impact of minority voters. They turned out in record numbers and tended to oppose Republican positions, the duo said.
"I think the 2012 election in California may prove to be a turning point in California politics," DiCamillo said of the significance of Latino, Asian American, African American and other minority voters, who cast about four of every 10 ballots statewide.
The trend appears to be a bad omen for the GOP, because ...

text: I have a 15 week old akita female puppy. We've had her since she was six weeks old. We have been very diligent about house training and have yet to get her trained. She'll go a week with no accidents and then it seems like we'll have two or three in a day. She's crate trained, sleeps in her crate at night, and can go all day in the crate/exercise pen and not pee. I know people say "what them like a hawk". We do! She doesn't sniff around indicating she has to go. She can be in mid stride and just stop and pee. It is so frustrating. We say no loudly, clap, immediately take her out. I'm so frustrated. She is wonderful otherwise. We've been working on the biting and she is doing well with that. She can sit, lie down, shake. HELP!!!!
