Loach check the Japan news tonight..

Levels now are now 10,000,000 times above normal operating levels in number 2 reactor...

Radioactivity in the air in No. 2 measured at 1,000 millisieverts per hour - four times higher than the occupational limit of 250 millisieverts set by the government.

Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano, said the radioactive water is “almost certainly” seeping from a reactor core.

Adding to woes is the increasing level of contamination in the sea near the plant. Radioactive iodine-131 at a concentration 1,850 times the legal limit was detected from water extracted Saturday, compared with the 1,250.8 times the limit found Friday.

No, no problems at all...

And the classic statement yesterday was people were told not to worry about the levels in the sea water as they will impose a 20-30km ban on fishing and plus the government said they dont really source much fish for consumption from that area.

Jeez I'm glad the sea life that gets contaminated will stay in that area and not migrate to other areas let alone other countries...I mean how stupid can they be...

I shouldnt really have to ask that question as already know well and truly the muppett mentality.

Yep its not good at all Terry.

Prime Minister Kan has issued a maximum alert regarding the nuclear disaster..only took a couple of weeks..

I'm in Korea at the moment and Seoul and 5 other places around Korea have all had higher than normal radiation readings found today.

Personally I think its North Korea letting a bit go so they can blame the Japanese.

But in all seriousness the way the Japanese government and TEPCO have handled the situation is atrocious.

I just wish the Japanese had more common sense and realise they are being duped and its their health and well being at risk.

Now lets see how they will solve this..

No amount of foresight would have been able to foresee that a 9.0 would have hit, and nuclear is still a viable power source in my opinion.

I wish Japan all the best.

TEPCO president has been hospitalised due to dizziness and high blood pressure due to worrying about f*kushima.

TEPCO made a press statement saying they are considering putting the reactors in a Sarcophagus like Chernobyl due to it being "presently unclear how the problems at the plant would be resolved".

By the way great link paulR32gtr. Good to see that reactors are being improved. Thanks.

I agree that nuclear power is still a viable option for countries like Japan, especially considering emissions targets. However it is Japan and the government knows that there will be huge earthquakes. They know there is a huge earthquake due in Tokyo in the near future. Therefore Japanese nuclear power plants need to have an INDEPENDENTLY sanctioned and enforced building standard which allows safe operation/shutdown of nuclear power plants in the event of massive earthquakes. Just as any other country should have an INDEPENDENTLY sanctioned and enforced building standard for the problems they know they will encounter when using a power source which has the potential to cause harm not only to the people of the operating nation but in other countries as well. Many Japanese government officials have left the government in the past and taken up positions in TEPCO. In my opinion that is a symptom that the Japanese power industry is not independently regulated. There are other symptoms too as elrodeo666 has indicated.

I think we can say these facilities weren't exactly on the cutting edge of asset management.

even minuscule probabilities such as the ones that caused this sort of outcome should have been addressed after a proper risk assesment.

Cant believe there dumping hazardous waste into the ocean now..... Japan over its entire history is gonna be one radioactive island by the end of all this...

> then Northern hemisphere over air, land (and sea) cop the knock-on effect

So this disaster is now rated "7" equal to Chernobyl :/

Are there contingency plans for the area yet, or even some hypotheses on how to relocate residential areas?

yeh thats terrible

feel so sorry for all those living within 100kms of the reactors

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.

      Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
