Thread is about the various issues surrounding Japan in the aftermath of the recent earthquake. Don't bring the shit side of the internet to the thread, and post with the realization that this thread is very important, and very real, to your fellow members.

Do not post speculative and unconfirmed news you saw on TV or anywhere else. Generally the more dramatic it sounds the less likely it's true.

Weather (wind) forecast.

[image loading]

In general. Low areas' (cyclones) winds are blowing into center (cyclone eye) and acts as a vacuum cleaner. High areas' (anti-cyclones) winds are blowing away from center.

We see a Low moving northeast away of Japan. In case of some imaginable radio-cloud to be released it will be "vaccumed" into it and taken away to the ocean. According to previous days maps, this L is newborn and will live quite a bit (at least 4 days).

High area that was near Baykal yesterday is moving towards Beijing / south-west China. In case of potential radio-cloud H is some sort of a shield, blowing the cloud away.

I'm only worried about newborn Low on top of map (it is east Siberia). Hope it will be moving towards Chukotka / Kamchatka and not going south or south-east.

Even if I agree (and I can tell it as a French) that my government is a band of moron/incompetent just lurking for more spotlight, we should not bash French's opinion so fast.
Aside from that, I'm more worried about the japanese situation rather than the whole nuclear debate. This crisis seems more and more difficult and at first I thought that Japan would rise above it in a short period (month) and now, the specter of a lockdown of a large area in japan is growing bigger and bigger in my mind. I hope it's only the media that makes us believe such an awful scenario, but having here and there part of the world not fit for human to live in seems so unreal and sad.

I was reading this live Q&A thing on reuters.com going on right now, and saw this:

"Breaking News: EU's Energy Commissioner says the situation at the Japanese reactor is 'effectively out of control'"

"EU Energy Commissioner Günther Oettinger: There could be catastrophic events within the coming hours"

Did anything in particular happen very recently, or is it perhaps because of the fact that they had to abort the use of helicopters to cool the reactors?
Blah.

Edano just said minutes ago that if someone were in the 20 KM evacuated area for 24 hours a day, for a whole year at the present levels of radiation, MAYBE they will get health risks. So there ya go, it's not 100% safe but it's not chernobyl or even three mile island for that matter.

From what I've been reading, the French are making a big deal about this cause the Japanese bought reactors from the US, instead of the Framatome/Areva models.

I don't think that really matters.

It just gives into the:

French reactors -> safe

Non-french reactors -> not safe

logic.

They're also bragging non-stop over the news that the reactors in France are the safest in the world and that this kind of stuff couldn't happen here. They somehow managed to turn the focus from japan to france.
Disgusting.

This thread has become my main source of information about Japan's crysis.

I'm finding the individual countries press really interesting from what I'm getting from this thread:

Fearmongering:
Germany (because of upcoming elections and the hope that an anti-nuclear power point of view might swing things in favor of the current ruling party)
France (because the japanese plants are from the US and not from France - any other reason for this?)
Russia (Because their experts aren't let into Japan and to point the finger at someone to make Chernobyl look better?)

Non-Fearmongering:
Finland
Japan
United Kingdom

Anything important I missed?

The japanese reactors were insanely safe and they were not damaged (at least not mentioned) by the earthquake NOR by the tsunami. The reason it all went downhill was that the tsunami damaged the cooling system or actually not even that, but due to power outage and flooded diesel generators the cooling could not continue..

from that point on, we all know the story. But thats offtopic. Hopefully they can prevent further damage.

Whatever French politicians say are a matter of French politics, nothing to do with Japan. You guys shouldn't even pay attention to that, we just have a bunch of pathetic and desperate guys running things.
