I wouldn't exactly call 1.06 Sv/hr 'no significant radiation' .. (this
was measured outside the plant). but your right, the media have been
making some pretty silly statements, but then it's not exactly helped by
the 'lack' of accurate info coming from the Government of Japan either!

Hello John and List,

I know it is difficult when the media, almost to a man, has opted to
sensationalize, rather than calmly release the facts. I haven't seen one
headline that hasn't promoted a panic in it's wording. Then, as I read
the body copy it becomes apparent through the use of qualifiers like,
maybe, possible and might, that what was touted hasn't actually
occurred. The headline doesn't turn out to be just misleading..it's
actually a lie.

I was shocked at Sheppard Smith's opener yesterday on Fox. He all but
said we were going to die. And they sent this hysteric to Japan to
report on something he doesn't know anything about. Also, I didn't know
that our popular Japanese/American cosmologist with the salt and pepper
hair...I forgot his name...but he's on many a metoritic program, is a
blatantly anti-nuke. He gets on the air and calls for all nuke plants to
be shut down. I fell out of my chair. How could a guy with letters after
his name and so immersed in the study and teaching of the cosmos...which
owes it's existence to fission and fusion hold such a position?

The facts are, as of a minute ago, that there has been no containment
vessel breach in any of the reactors. Therefore, there has been no
significant release of radiation. Nobody...nobody.. has received an
exposure that would cause any measurable harm. I don't care what you've
read, seen, or heard.

What has happened, is that some fuel rod assemblies have been damaged by
loss of coolant and resulting overtemp. They can melt into each other,
but they can't burn through the vessel, or start a fire, as there is no
graphite in the GE design. The Japanese are faced with a cooling and
containment issue that is exacerbated by the loss of power, pumps,
valves, piping and coolant. But, industrious and versatile as they
are...they will handle it. And they'll do it wearing the correct color
uniform and helmet.

So, my read in the face of all "the sky is falling" is that this is as
bad as it going to get and the worse is over. Plant personnel have
reduced temps everywhere and what little ionizing radiation released was
harmless before it got over the fence.

Watch..soon the media is going to realize that tens of thousands of
Japanese are dead by being drowned and squished...and the goddamn power
plant didn't kill any of them.

Intelligent, thinking human beings with real pride and admiration for
the accomplishments of others would be championing the success of their
brothers and sisters in being able to design and construct a set of
reactors that could survive at the epicenter of one of the strongest
earthquakes in the history of the world and take a direct hit from a 20
meter high tsunami.

Too much to ask for?...Pass the iodine and get the meter out of the
cabinet.
