The amount is so small that the Pu is not harmful to human body.<br />Radioactive materials exceeding the regulatory limit have been detected from seawater sample collected in the sea surrounding the Fukushima Dai-ichi NPS since Mar. 21st. Radioactive Iodine, I-131, 4,385 times higher than<br />regulatory limit was detected on Mar. 30th. It is discovered on Apr. 2nd that there is highly radioactive (more than 1000mSv/hr) water in the concrete structure housing electrical cable and this water is leaking into the sea<br />through cracks on the concrete wall.<br />Radioactive materials were detected from underground water sampled near the turbine buildings on Mar. 30th.<br />●Progress of the work to recover injection function<br />Water injection to the reactor pressure vessel by temporally installed pumps were switched from seawater to freshwater at Unit 1, 2 and 3.<br />High radiation circumstance hampering the work to restore originally installed pumps for injection. Discharging radioactive water in the basement of the buildings of Unit 1through 3 continue to improve this situation. To find a<br />place the water to go becomes a problem.<br />●Function of containing radioactive material<br />It is presumed that radioactive material inside the reactor vessel may leaked outside at Unit 1, 2 and Unit 3, based on radioactive material found outside. NISA announced that the reactor pressure vessel of Unit 2 and 3 may<br />have lost air tightness because of low pressure inside the pressure vessel. NISA told that it is unlikely that these are cracks or holes in the reactor pressure vessels at the same occation.<br />●Cooling the spent fuel pool<br />Steam like substance rose intermittently from the reactor building at Unit 1, 2, 3 and 4 has been observed. Injecting and/or spraying water to the spent fuel pool has been conducted.<br />●Prevention of the proliferation of contaminated dust: There is a plan to spray synthetic resin to contain contaminated dust.</p></div></div></td></tr></tfoot></table></div></div></div></div></span></span>Where is the World going?http://www.blogger.com/profile/13276532321904167504noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22380563.post-4912225142815379442010-08-31T20:23:00.002+03:002010-08-31T20:27:04.399+03:00How about: IOEXUO International Oil Exploration and Utilization Organization<span style="" lang="EN-US">Olja, produkten som revolutionerade världen.<br /> Har den blivit oss för mycket?

I say really BIG problems, well as we know it is a ever growing problem, even for years to come.<br /><br />what I mean is think BIG, this is a BIG country this United States of America...<br /><br />so what should be in reserve always at least now in the future:<br /><br />1. several hundreds of miles of the heavy duty sea boom to encircle the event/leak<br />tugboats to keep boom at place in circle<br />2. supertankers to pump it up and separate it on board<br />3. filter it through an absorbent<br />4. then let it go out to the sea, as pure water....<br /><br />any objections on this scheme? an idea like a million, yes?<br /><br />I think really this could have been the only way to do it as opposite the dispergants are the worst way.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">So maybe someone should have put a thought into this before action was taken, yes?</span>Where is the World going?http://www.blogger.com/profile/13276532321904167504noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22380563.post-37259830709395914112010-05-17T22:51:00.005+03:002010-05-17T23:55:58.717+03:00How is it going, cleanup of oilspill in the Gulf of MexicoOpen letter to: letters@time.com and mr Bryan Walsh<br /><br />Dear Sirs.<br /><br />I read your article in the TIME "The Big Spill" vol 175, no 19, 2010.<br /><br />A very good article.<br /><br />I also have great concerns about how this is handled in the sense of not having enough materials to start with, not enough material like booms in the whole world!!! not enough knowledge how to cope with the oil on the surface and so on. Now they have placed an order for 500 kilometers of high sea booms, but it is too late.<br /><br />Doing the old trick which is out of sight is out of problems... and thats not so in this case, now the problem is some hundred feet under the water... and nobody can fix that... it will eventually be on the beaches, in the fish and shrimp, if it gets into the vortex of the gulf stream it will en up on the north pole.... what that then has for effects. it will be there for years to come...<br /><br />There should be an international authority to which all oil using countries , shippers, producers etc pays money as agreed, this authority collects and places out equipment in strategic storage around the world so that it is available when these spills happen , because they will. There are also other issues that should be addressed internationally, what to do, encourage political awerness and guts, think back on recent issue in Spain-Portugal. This is an issue for possibly the UN or a division of it. or a better inter-state body to be founded.<br /><br />Venezuela just lost a gas rig, it could have been the same sort of disaster there too.<br /><br />See also earlier in this blog how we years ago made a plan and had the idea to create several environmental action centers in Europe. EAC's. my blog of Feb 28 2006. That was a beautiful plan.

But response teams in Mississippi, Alabama and the Florida Panhandle were carefully watching shifting winds that could ultimately steer the 2,000-square-mile blob just about anywhere on the Gulf Coast. </p> <p> The spill was near the Gulf's powerful ``loop current,'' which could potentially suck in the brown goo and spit it back out in the form of tar balls, fouling the Florida Keys and beaches of Miami-Dade and Broward. But the Coast Guard's highest-ranking officer said South Florida appeared to be out of the impact zone -- at least for now.</p><p> ``I'm not going to rule anything out, but it's pretty remote,'' said Adm. Thad Allen, commandant of the Coast Guard, which is directing efforts to contain the spreading spill while BP Exploration and Production struggles to seal its well 5,000 feet below the ocean.</p><p> Allen, in an interview with The Miami Herald's Editorial Board Wednesday, said if the well can't be capped quickly, the accident could potentially surpass the notorious Exxon Valdez -- which dumped 11 million gallons of crude into Alaska's Prince William Sound in 1989 -- as the largest discharge in North American history.</p><p><strong>VALVE FAILURE</strong></p><p><strong></strong> BP, which operated the floating rig that exploded last week, killing 11 workers, has failed in efforts to close a shutoff valve with robotic subs. Deploying a dome to collect and pump leaking oil has worked in shallower coastal areas, but never in such deep water, and could take weeks. The permanent fix, drilling a relief well, could take months.</p><p> There also is concern that the damaged wellhead could give way, spewing up to 100,000 gallons a day from the site about 50 miles south of Venice, La.</p><p> ``If we lose the integrity of that wellhead, it could be a catastrophic spill,'' Allen said.</p><p> The Coast Guard was already treating the spill as a worst-case scenario, Allen said, putting coastal crews on notice from Venice to Pensacola and using every tool in the slick-fighting book. Nearly 50 vessels were working the spill, either skimming oil or spraying dispersants to break it up.</p><p><strong>TEST FIRES</strong></p><p><strong></strong> With the plume still growing, the Coast Guard took the extraordinary step of trying to burn off large patches of it, beginning with test fires Wednesday that could be used more widely if effective.</p><p> ``What we want to do is fight the oil spill as far off shore as we can,'' Allen said.</p><p> Wherever it winds up, the spill promises a messy and expensive cleanup at the least and potentially a major ecological disaster. Because the spill is far from land, industry experts predicted the sun and waves would dilute the impact to a degree, breaking up and evaporating much of it.</p><p> Edward Overton, a professor emeritus of environmental sciences at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, said it could still be nasty stuff to clean from marshes or beaches. Overton, who tested samples for the Coast Guard and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, said the oil has an unusually high amount of asphaltene -- heavy ingredients that make it more suitable for paving roads than powering cars. </p> </div><div id="TixyyLink" style="overflow: hidden;

Kuva: Mika Selin </div> </div> <div class="article-body"> Lintuharrastajat ovat yrittäneet karkottaa muuttolintuja pois parin viime päivän aikana Vesijärven Polttimon rannan öljyyntyneeltä alueelta. Osa linnuista on saatu karkotettuakin, mutta osa on ehtinyt laskeutua öljyiseen veteen.<br /> - Tiedossa on tällä hetkellä seitsemän varmasti kuollutta lintua, joista yksi on lauantaina laivarannasta, lumihangesta heikkokuntoisena löytynyt nokikana, jonka saimme pyydystettyä. Vein linnun Heinolan lintutarhaan pestäväksi. Jo siinä vaiheessa lintu sai pahoja kouristuksia, sillä öljyä oli jo imeytynyt sen elimistöön. Yön aikana lintu oli menehtynyt. Lisäksi useat kymmenet linnut ehtivät käydä vedessä, ennen kuin saimme ne hätistettyä pois, lintuharrastaja Mika Selin kertoo.<br />Selinin mukaan olisi tärkeää, että öljy saataisiin vedestä mahdollisimman pian pois, sillä jo ensi viikolla Vesijärvelle on odotettavissa tuhansia muuttolintuja.<br />- Koko eilisen päivän veden pinnassa velloi edelleen öljykerros. Pelastuslaitos ei pyynnöistä huolimatta lähtenyt putsaamaan veden pintaa. Toissapäiväistä pahoin öljyyntynyttä koirastelkkää ei enää näkynyt ja sen puoliso makasi kuolleena jäällä. Jää reunalla kökötti parhaimmillaan kolme öljyyntynyttä telkkää jotka eivät lähteneet hätistelyistä huolimatta pois. Olivat jo ilmeisen heikkokuntoisia, Selin harmittelee.<br />Selinin mukaan öljyyntyneet linnut voivat kuolla myrkytykseen, kun ne sukivat öljyä pois höyhenistään tai kylmään, kun höyheniin tarttunut öljy tuhoaa sulkien luonnollisen rasvakerroksen.<br />- Tai sitten ne hukkuvat, koska kun öljyyntynyt sulkakerros vettyy, niin lintu painuu järven pohjaan kuin kivi, Selin sanoo. <div class="source"><i>ESS.fi<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">Niin, onhan tästä ollut projektiakin tekeillä ja Porvoossa on pelastuslaitoksen pihassa näennäinen lintuklinikka joka siirrettävissä..... Ai niin mutta sielläkin luullaan että linnut jäävät henkiin sulkien alusrasvan poispesun jälkeen millä vaan detergentillä. Turha luulo kun ulkona on melkein nolla keli, nuo noin pestyt ja vapaaksipäästetyt linnut kuolevat satavarmasti kaikki, jos ei itse pesuun niin ainakin sitten luonnossa kylmyyteen. Todella edesvastuutonta tyhmnää homma, ja noin tehtynä ihan turhaakin! Jos linnut pidetään Heinolan lintusairaalassa tilanne on tietysti parempi ja ehkä muutama lintu todella säästyy.<br />Kuulin tosin nyt tiistai iltana että siellä ei oikeastaan ole öljyä edes alettu siivota saatikka että sen leviämistä missään vaiheessa on edes yritetty estää. Todella reipasta työtä alueen pelastuslaitokselta!?<br />Miten sitä voidaan olla taas kerran näin välinpitämättömiä, pelastuslaitoksen kommentti: kyllä kai se aurinko haihduttaa...??? Joskus???

Polttimon alueella sijaitsevan Lahti Energian lämpövoimalaitoksen varaöljysäiliöstä valui Päijät-Hämeen pelastuslaitoksen päivystävän palomestarin Juhamatti Listalan<br />alustavan arvion mukaan noin viisi kuutiota kevyttä polttoöljyä Vesijärveen.<br /> Lämpökeskus, jossa rikko sattui, toimittaa lämpöä ja höyryä Polttimon tarpeisiin.
