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. | ||

This is from the West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Center website, literally 5 seconds ago "The Tsunami Warning continues in effect for the coastal areas of California and Oregon from Point Concepcion, California to the Oregon-Washington border. The Tsunami Warning continues in effect for the coastal areas of Alaska from Amchitka Pass, Alaska (125 miles W of Adak) to Attu, Alaska. The Tsunami Advisory continues in effect for the coastal areas of California from the California-Mexico border to Point Concepcion, California. The Tsunami Advisory continues in effect for the coastal areas of Washington, British Columbia and Alaska from the Oregon-Washington border to Amchitka Pass, Alaska (125 miles W of Adak)." | ||

I'm a nuclear physicist student, and if there was no problem within the nuclear security, there shouldn't be any criticality problems, meaning no direct radiations. Sismicity and fires are comprised within the nuclear security, if the two of them should happen at the same time. Ah thanks, good to know. I guess the nuclear emergency state is an overreaction then? Or a way to keep their political options open for... whatever they might use it for. | ||

"Port Alberni" means we're at the end of a long, narrow inlet. We've had major tsunamis before. We're on LEGIT warning. If even a mild wave hits the coast it will grow to huge proportions on its way up the inlet. | ||

Translation: "The government has stated that they will declare a state of nuclear emergency due to concerns that a nuclear power plant has leaked radiation. It is suspected that the Fukushima #1 Reactor is being referred to. This is the first time that this declaration has been made." | ||

I guess they don't have enough information, so we can't say it's an overreaction right now... I'd like to know if the security injections are working. If not, there could be a fusion of the core, but it shouldn't happen with nuclear security norms as they are. I dare say it will not happen, in fact. Only if the people don't fuckin screw up like they did with Tokaimura in 1999. | ||

The Island has borne the brunt of many tsunamis in the past, hope all is well on the West Coast in the morning. Is it going to be a high tide this morning? | ||

I'm in suburban Vancouver, so you're practically protecting me. Seriously, if you guys aren't okay over there I'm going to feel really bad. | ||
