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

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
