ایـــــــــ پاینده باد ـــــــران

...

هیچ کس نمی‌خواهد که حادثه چرنوبیل را در کشورش تجربه کند،تمامی کشور‌های اروپایی سخت مشغول پیدا کردن راه حالی‌ برای بالا بردن امنیت نیروگاه‌های خودشان هستنبد.

در یک ساعت گذشته ۳ پس لرزه بالای ۶ ریشتری ژاپن را دوباره لرزانید.

مردم شدید مشغول خریدن دوچرخه هستند،بنزین کمیاب است.

پنجمین شب متوالی‌ بی‌ آب،بی‌ برق،بی‌ غذای گرم برای خیلی‌ از ژاپنیها ... :(

همچنان اینجا هستیم،تا آخرش ایستاده ایم تا به یاری نیازمندان بشتابیم.

در فیس بوک

در فیس بوک دانشجویان ایرانی مشغول به تحصیل در ژاپن صفحه مخصوص «زلزله ژاپن» راه انداخته اند و از حال همدیگر پرس و جو می کنند و از این که اوضاع غیر قابل پیش بینی شده احساس ترس و بی تابی می کنند. گاه گاهی نوشته هایی درج می شود که دولت فلان کشور از دانشجویان و شهروندان خود خواسته هرچه سریعتر خاک ژاپن را ترک کنند.

By late Monday (U.S. time),

By late Monday (U.S. time), the situation is getting much worse. Larger radiation releases have occurred. And the New York Times is reporting that the radiation levels around the plants have gotten so high that TEPCO may withdraw workers from the plants. If this stops efforts to cool the reactors, the result may be meltdowns of the fuel in all three reactors.

یکی از کانال

یکی از کانال های تلویزیونی دولتی ژاپن، ان اچ ک، برنامه خود را به پخش پیام های سونامی زدگان و آوارگان ناشی از آن اختصاص داده است. یکی پیام می دهد «فلانی! من در پناهگاه…هستم. با من تماس بگیر!»دیگری پیام داده «ما حالمان خوبه نگران تو هستیم با این شماره تماس بگیر!»

کانال دیگری عکس خانمی را نشان می دهد که رو به اقیانوس و آوارهای ناشی از سونامی در حالی که چشمانش پر از اشک است می گوید: «فکر می کنم پسرم گرفتار سونامی شده».

در کانال دیگر، کارشناس هسته ای با نقشه و عکس خطرات ناشی از نیروگاه های حادثه دیده را توضیح می دهد. امروز صبح یکی از مسئولان نیروگاه که در کنفرانس خبری در مورد وضعیت نیروگاه ها توضیح می داد با عصبانیت یکی از خبرنگاران روبرو شد. «چرا سمبلش می کنی! هر اتفاقی افتاده رو راست بگو دیگه!»

امواج آب با خود

امواج آب با خود اجساد حدود دو هزار نفر را به سواحل منطقه میاگی، در شمال شرق ژاپن، آورده است.

هزار جسد در شبه جزیره اوجکا و هزار جسد دیگر در شهر کوچک مینامیسانریکو که در سونامی روز جمعه با خاک یکسان شده است، پیدا شده است.

سرنوشت دهها هزار نفر هنوز روشن نیست.

بسیاری از شهرهای کوچک و دور افتاده هنوز قابل دسترسی نیستند و تاکنون کمکی دریافت نکرده اند.

خبرگزاری کیودو ژاپن می گوید بیش از پانصد هزار نفر به دلیل بروز زمین لرزه، سونامی و خطر انتشار مواد رادیواکتیو آواره شده اند.

در بحبوحه سرمای نزدیک به صفر درجه زمستانی، میلیون ها نفر نیز سه شب است که آب، غذا و وسیله گرمازا نداشته اند.

...

وحشت هنوز سایه بلند خود را بر ژاپن حفظ کرده است.

یک ساعتی‌ است که عملیات نجات،امداد،کمک در ژاپن به علت تاریکی به پایان یافته است.

دولت ژاپن عملا اعلام کرده است که ژاپن در مرز خطر جدی رادیو آکتیو قرار دارد.

یک پس لرزه قوی دیگر ..نزدیک ۶ ریشتر ژاپن را لهازتی پیش دوباره لرزانید.

آمار که داده شده در مورد قربانیان شمارش شده این است :۳،۳۷۳ شمارش شده--- بیش از ۱۰،۰۰۰ نفر پیش بینی‌ شده که جان خود را از دست داده اند.

درجه خطر نشت مواد رادیواکتیو از ۵ دیروز به ۶..به روی هفت رسیده است.

بیش از ۲۵،۰۰۰ تا به حال نجات یافته شدند،چه از زلزله و چه از سونامی.

تعداد رسمی‌ ناپدید شده‌ها به ۶،۷۴۶ نفر رسیده است.

در توکیو نشت مواد رادیواکتیو ده برابر شده است.

صاف‌های طولانی برای دریافت آب آشامیدنی و غذای گرم.

تمام دنیا در آماده باش است در برابر نیروگاه اتمی‌ که دارند،وحشت در همه جا حس میشود.

امروز من هم در راهپیمای که در رابطه با ضدّ نیروگاه‌های اتمی‌ برگزار شده بود،شرکت کردم.

1% of world's commercial

1% of world's commercial reactors melting down

Now they are saying that the reactor was shut down, the building was housing spent fuel rods.  Water is normally circulated in the pool that contains them but because of the power loss, no water circulating.  The fuel rods emitted hydrogen, and a hydrogen explosion occurred.  They are saying that the high radiation levels may be from Reactor #4 building.

The levels are now being reported in milli instead of micro, (1000x)

This was scary all along, but now it is really scary.

And we still do not know (AFAIK) what is going on with the spent fuel rods in the other three buildings.

I have seen a number of different things about what can happen with spent fuel rods.  I don't know which of them are accurate, but none of them sounded very good.

“It’s worse than a meltdown,” said David A. Lochbaum, a nuclear engineer at the Union of Concerned Scientists who worked as an instructor on the kinds of General Electric reactors used in Japan. “The reactor is inside thick walls, and the spent fuel of Reactors 1 and 3 is out in the open.”

Vildemose:

Having lived here for almost three decades, I know what I'm talking about! Lots of great myths have been made about Japan which are hardly true. Like in any country, there are "good folks" here, too. But the government is as corrupt as any corrupt government in the third world countries. It is so bad here that you actually think you're dealing with retards when you have to deal with bureaucrats.

"All these reactors are

"All these reactors are going to go into a full scale meltdown. The Japanese PM and the corporatio­ns that own and operate the reactors are lying.

"On average, spent fuel ponds hold five-to-te­n times more long-lived radioactiv­ity than a reactor core. Particular­ly worrisome is the large amount of cesium-137 in fuel ponds, which contain anywhere from 20 to 50 million curies of this dangerous radioactiv­e isotope. With a half-life of 30 years, cesium-137 gives off highly penetratin­g radiation and is absorbed in the food chain as if it were potassium.­" [//www­.counterpu­nch.org/al­varez03142­011.html]

A tremendous and horrific developmen­t beyond the suffering and loss from the natural events. My heart is aching. GR: Agreed.  I think it was full blown disaster the minute Tsunmai and earthquake hit the plants all built in flood plain. this is looking more and more like deliberate lying to avoid widespread panic.

Japanese Corrupt Bureaucracy!

The Japanese bureaucrats along with the former ruling party have helped create cartels that no one can deal with. Kan is as powerless as Obama has been in the past two years dealing with big business. Big business in Japan kept LDP--the Liberal Democratic Party--in power for 54 years. Until about two years ago, except for short intervals Japan was ruled by one party. And in the past two years the bureaucrats, within the ministries, who are supporting the big business have done everything to stop the Liberal Party from achieving anything positive. The real Mafiosi in Japan are the extremely corrupt bureaucrats.

URGENT: Meltdown possible

URGENT: Meltdown possible at Fukushima reactors: Tokyo Electric

A critical situation called ''meltdown'' in which fuel rods melt and are destroyed is possible at the troubled nuclear plant in Fukushima Prefecture, Tokyo Electric Power Co. said Tuesday.

The cores of the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant's three reactors are believed to have partially melted following Friday's magnitude 9.0 earthquake that hit northeastern and eastern Japan.

From dailykos, NPR and ABC:

"Latest incoming news on @BBCWorld confirms the Fukushima #2 reactor, the one whose core was completely uncovered this morning, has exploded. The explosion is reported by TEPCO officials as having been located "near the pressure vessel" [primary containment, the vessel itself] and to have damaged the suppresssion pool, a.k.a. the torus.

TEPCO spokesperson reported at a press conference that personnel are being evacuated from the site, they will leave 50 employees behind to tend the three destroyed reactors. Total meltdown for all three now admitted to be likely. The buildings are open to the environment, and there are still no reports about what has happened with the three reactors' inventories of spent fuel. The spent fuel pools were located in the upper portion of the secondary containment buildings (the big rectangular ones that now have no tops). They are not visible in overhead photos."

The explosion came from within the core.

That's why they can't keep the water in. The rest is just going through the motions The realizatio­n of what is in our power to control and what we cannot should be self-evide­nt to an increasing number of individual­s, cultures and government­s, that the use, misuse and abuse of technology has astronomical hidden costs - and that they can and should be assessed before their implementa­tion.  

Whoever stays, I hope they are equipped IS the IRI prepared for paying such a huge cost in case of earthquake in Natnaz? Are Iranians prepared to pay for the conssequences of such clamity? So what is the point of nuclear power? To generate electricit­y

When we have a multitude of other options nuclear power is not needed

Remember Gulf of Mexico?

This is similar to the kind of news the world got about oil spill off the gulf of Mexico. The media release dizzying amount of unnecessary information in order to cause mental paralysis in the poor audience so that the state can go ahead and do what is in the best interest of the big business! In Japan there are no lobbies per se and the bureaucrats and politicians are, in fact, representing the big business!

Dear Red Wine and Vildemose

Thanks for keeping us updated with the latest developments in the Japan. Your tireless work and unlimited energy is commendable. This is certainly a true disaster of huge proportions.

...

آلان ساعت ۸ صبح است به وقت ژاپن ... یک ساعت هست که کمک،امداد و نجات مشغول به کار شده و امید است که امروز بیش از روزهای دیگر نتیجه مثبت گرفته شود.

لحظاتی پیش دولت ژاپن اعلام کرد که راکتور شماره ۲ فوکوشیما منفجر شد .

این انفجار به این معناست که مواد رادیو اکتیو به شدت در هوا نشت خواهند کرد.

بانک‌های بزرگ آمریکائی مقداری به ژاپن کمک خواهند کرد،معلوم نیست چقدر و کی !

مقامات هشدار دادند که احتمالا یک زلزله دیگر تا دو روز دیگر خواهد آمد.

سازمان هواشناسی اعلام کرده که از همین حالا هوای سرد به درون ژاپن خواهد وزید... به نظر میاید که دائم اخبار بد گفته میشود :( .

حالا دیگر مثل قبل ژاپنیها راحت اخبار را گزارش نمیکنند..این یعنی‌ کار بیشتر برای ما... معلوم نیست که آیا واقعاً سانسور هست یا خیر !

من هنوز اینجا هستم... قهوه تنها چیزیست که اندک انرژی مثبتی به من میدهد...

راستی‌..فردا چهار شنبه سوریه ... مرگ بر ولایت فقیه،درود بر آزادی ... زنده باد مردم ایران و آیین کهن ایرانی.

ما همه با هم هستیم .

While unit 1, the first reactor to explode at the plant, appears to be stable, unit 3, which exploded early Monday morning in Japan, reportedly has a leak in its bottom.
 
“We’ve never encountere­d this type of situation in history before,” Joe Cirincione­, a nuclear policy expert, said. “We are beyond a reactor crisis at this point, this is a nuclear system crisis. The entire northern part of the Japanese nuclear power system has been delivered a body blow.”
 
The leak is making it difficult to keep the core of the reactor covered with sea water, Dr. Michio Kaku, a physicist, said.
 

A little while ago someone

A little while ago someone posted about a lone horse wandering around near Sendai. This just in on the BBC live blog:

2253: The tweet by Katie Hinman of ABC News about the lonely horse in Sendai (See 2146) prompted Breda Gahan in Dublin to email in: "Can't believe I read this. Please return horse to Natsuko Komura." The BBC's Damian Grammatica­s interviewe­d Ms Komura on Sunday as she searched for her trusty steed near Sendai's beach. She had been riding it when the tsunami approached on Friday, but had not seen it since. "Deepest sympathy to all the Japanese people affected by this terrible tragedy. I am speechless when I see the images," Ms Brehan adds."
