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

    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
