Reply #8: Hey Nadin, howdy down there..

How are things down San Diego way? It is supposed to rain a bit up here this weekend, at least that is the forecast for Sat night through Monday morning. I keep having these uneasy feelings that there is nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. Big warnings about this weekend's rainy deposit of the good stuff up here.

I was gifted with a website link by someone in the know:

But knowing you, you already have it.

What do you think of the big tent idea by TEPCO?

You just can't make this up: proving that Japan can outdo even the Russians when it comes to nuclear crisis "response", Dow Jones reports that the latest scheme to come out of TEPCO is to cover Fukushima with a giant tent. It is unclear if it will have a circus coloration yet. From DJ: "Giant polyester covers will soon be placed around the damaged reactor buildings at Japan's Fukushima nuclear complex to help contain the release of radioactive substances into the atmosphere, the plant operator said Friday. Tokyo Electric Power Co. (TEPCO) will install the first cover at the No. 1 reactor, the focus of recent stabilization efforts, starting next month." This probably means that Japan looked long and hard at the concrete shell option and realized it was impossible, which is true. The problem is that by now the melted cores are not in the complex, but deep beneath it and the radioactivity is actively seeping directly into the soil. And since the polyester tent idea is doomed to failure, it is only a matter of time before the Simpsons dome is firmly in place over a region with a radius of about 20 kilometers. Impossible you say? Just wait.

Pretty bizzare, eh?



But don't worry - even thought it's reached Level 7, it's "still not as bad as Chernobyl"!
