Dan T. Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 ^^^ Good use of that pic, Shredmojo. Really? I always thought it was a thing called honor and not wanting to be the one to bring shame to ones family. As well as an unbringing by a TIGER MOM. The Tiger Mom of recent fame is Chinese, not Japanese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twa Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 No need for robots,the radiation is not that high....yet added Naturally I am wrong http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/as_japan_earthquake Associated Press Eric Talmadge And Shino Yuasa, Associated Press – 36 mins ago FUKUSHIMA, Japan – Japan suspended operations to prevent a stricken nuclear plant from melting down Wednesday after a surge in radiation made it too dangerous for workers to remain at the facility. Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano said work on dousing reactors with water was disrupted by the need to withdraw. The level of radiation at the plant surged to 1,000 millisieverts early Wednesday before coming down to 800-600 millisieverts. Still, that was far more than the average "So the workers cannot carry out even minimal work at the plant now," Edano said. "Because of the radiation risk, we are on standby." Experts say exposure of around 1,000 millisieverts is enough to cause radiation sickness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACW Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 From WP: Leaked water from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant showed the highest radiation readings yet, compounding the risks for the hundreds of workers trying to repair the facility’s cooling system. Seventeen workers have been exposed to high levels of radiation, and airborne radioactivity in the unit 2 building remained so high that a worker there would reach his yearly occupational exposure limit in 15 minutes.Yikes.

Koolblue13 Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Workers trying to prevent a total meltdown at a Japanese nuclear power plant suffered another setback Monday when they found a pool of highly radioactive water leaking from the crippled facility. "The trench is located outside the building and the water contains radioactive materials," Hiro Hasegawa, a spokesman for the Tokyo Electric Power Co., told The Daily Telegraph of London. "There is normally no water found in this area." http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/2011/03/28/2011-03-28_japan_nuclear_crisis_pool_of_radioactive_water_found_outside_fukushima_daiichi_p.html Radiation leaking at a crippled nuclear plant in Japan spiked to new highs on Sunday, hindering frantic efforts to avert an all-out meltdown. Samples of tainted water in a flooded area of the Fukushima Daiichi facility showed readings 100,000 times more radioactive than normal. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/2011/03/28/2011-03-28_radiation_rises_to_shocking_new_high.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sikbug Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 That's good to know. I wonder why they are now reporting radiation in the rain around here then. "The facts are that minuscule quantities of airborne radio-iodine and radio-caesium from Fukushima are now being detected by instruments all round the world - as you would expect, because radioactivity can be detected in incredibly tiny amounts. If you wanted to, you could examine weather records since the quake hit, concoct a simulation of how iodine and caesium might travel around the planet to be deposited at far-flung instruments thousands of miles away, and then plug in those final readings in order to extrapolate back to generate a figure for possible emissions from Fukushima. That figure would be highly uncertain, to put it mildly, but you could do it." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's 3 days old but still. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/03/25/fukushima_scaremongering_debunk/ I'm trying to apply a common sense approach to the situation - as such : If people in Japan are not getting deathly sick from the radiation, then whatever radiation we're getting thousands of miles away, has to be negligible in proportion, at worst.

China Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 A feel good story: Tsunami dog reunited with owner A dog rescued more than a mile off the coast of Japan three weeks after the quake and tsunami has been reunited with her owner. The female owner and two-year-old Ban had an emotional reunion at an animal care centre, reports the BBC. "We'll never let go of her," the owner, who wished to remain anonymous, was quoted as saying by a centre official. The dog was found by a Japan Coast Guard crew on a drifting roof some 1.1 miles off Kesennuma, Miyagi prefecture, one of the worst-hit areas along Japan's north-east coast. The roof is believed to have been detached and washed out to sea by the retreating waters of the devastating tsunami, which hit the country on 11 March. Ban immediately jumped up and wagged her tail when her owner - who recognised her dog on a TV report about the rescue - appeared.
