johnc Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 My impression is that they 1) accomplished nothing in the past 2 days, and 2) have no clear idea what the state of the reactors is and no way of finding out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samdman95 Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 0242 : Asked why the US has told its citizens to observe a much wider exclusion zone around the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant than has Japan, Mr Edano says: "An outside government is not in direct control of the facility so it is understood that the US government has taken a more conservative approach."

"direct control of the facility" is definitely news to me. Also, 30 minutes is a long phone conversation for 2 world leaders. I'm thinking a lot more happened in that call than what was reported.

I'm thinking a lot more happened in that call than what was reported. They just mean the US doesn't have command and control on the ground. Also, the 30 minute call was a formality. Various staffers on both sides worked out the details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunkman Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Kyodo is reporting only that the minister said 4.13 millisieverts above the plant. For those who were listening, I could have sworn he said 4.13 millisieverts at 1000m and 87.7 at 300m. The 87.7 seems to match much better with the decision to only allow them to operate for 40 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Why is everyone so hostile in this thread? You've got maybe 5-10% secretly hoping for nuclear armageddon and there's a good deal of conflicting information out there. Tensions are bound to run high.

JoMo Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 News conference says that as of yesterday there was water in the #4 reactor pool. So they decided to go after the #3 reactor pool because there is almost no water left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SP Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 News conference says that as of yesterday there was water in the #4 reactor pool. So they decided to go after the #3 reactor pool because there is almost no water left. So it proves Americans have trouble with numbers? anything with 3 = MOX which likely trumps 1 2 4 5 and 6.

Nikolai Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Reuters:US government authorises voluntary departure of family members of embassy staff U.S. State Department says bringing in chartered aircraft to Tokyo to help Americans exit Japan Ummmmmm, I'm pretty sure the situation is fairly dire if the embassy is chartering planes to get Americans out of Japan. If we're getting our citizens out and the Europeans are too, it may be time to pay more attention to what the US is saying about the situation than Japan, but the Japanese government's hesitance to act/spread "dire" news is most certainly understandable given their endorsement of Jaczko's statements could possibly cause mass panic etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
