Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant update

Japan Earthquake Update (18 March 2011, 12:25 UTC)

Japanese authorities have informed the IAEA that, prior to the earthquake of 12 March, the entire fuel core of reactor Unit 4 of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant had been unloaded from the reactor and placed in the spent fuel pond located in the reactor's building.

Clarification

Contrary to several news reports, the IAEA to date has NOT received any notification from the Japanese authorities of people sickened by radiation contamination.

In the report of 17 March 01:15 UTC, the cases described were of people who were reported to have had radioactive contamination detected on them when they were monitored.


Japan Earthquake Update (18 March 2011, 10:15 UTC)

Japanese authorities have informed the IAEA that new INES ratings have been issued for some of the events relating to the nuclear emergency at the Fukushima Daiichi and Daini nuclear power plants.

Japanese authorities have assessed that the core damage at the Fukushima Daiichi 2 and 3 reactor Units caused by loss of all cooling function has been rated as 5 on the INES scale.

Japanese authorities have assessed that the loss of cooling and water supplying functions in the spent fuel pool of the Unit 4 reactor has been rated as 3.

Japanese authorities have assessed that the loss of cooling functions in the reactor Units 1, 2 and 4 of the Fukushima Daini nuclear power plant has also been rated as 3. All reactor Units at Fukushima Daini nuclear power plant are now in a cold shut down condition.

Addition of 12:45 UTC

Japanese authorities have assessed that the core damage at the Fukushima Daiichi 1 reactor unit caused by the loss of all cooling function has been rated as 5 on the INES scale.

This is an upgrade from a previous rating of 12 March as 4 on the INES scale, which was based on an abnormal rise of radioactive dose rate at the site boundary.

Why would experts need to monitor the temperature of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant?

Temperature of Spent Fuel Pools at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant - Updated

Spent fuel removed from a nuclear reactor is highly radioactive and generates intense heat. Nuclear plant operators typically store this material in pools of water that cool the fuel and shield the radioactivity. Water in a spent fuel pool is continuously cooled to remove heat produced by spent fuel assemblies. According to IAEA experts, a typical spent fuel pool temperature is kept below 25 °C under normal operating conditions. The temperature of a spent fuel pool is maintained by constant cooling, which requires a constant power source.

Given the intense heat and radiation that spent fuel assemblies can generate, spent fuel pools must be constantly checked for water level and temperature. If fuel is no longer covered by water or temperatures reach a boiling point, fuel can become exposed and create a risk of radioactive release. The concern about the spent fuel pools at Fukushima Daiichi is that sources of power to cool the pools have been compromised.

Concern about spent fuel storage conditions has led Japanese officials to drop and spray water from helicopters and trucks onto Unit 3 at Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant (See earlier update).

Japan's Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency has reported increasing temperatures in the spent fuel ponds at Units 5 and 6 since 14 March. An emergency diesel generator at Unit 6 is now powering water injection into the ponds at those Units, according to NISA.

The IAEA can confirm the following new information regarding the temperatures of the spent nuclear fuel pools at Units 4, 5 and 6 at Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant:

Unit 4

13 March, 19:08 UTC: 84 °C

Unit 5

17 March, 03:00 UTC: 64.2 °C

17 March, 18:00 UTC: 65.5 °C

Unit 6

17 March, 03:00 UTC: 62.5 °C

17 March, 18:00 UTC: 62.0 °C

The IAEA is continuing to seek further information about the water levels, temperature and condition of all spent fuel pool facilities at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.

The number 13

The number 13 has little to do with "bad luck," despite the

U.S. Navy, supposedly, avoiding launching ships on Friday
the 13th and many Americans viewing the 13th and anything
related to the number 13 as negative.

The association may be due to Jacques de Molay, the first
Grand Master of the Knights Templar, being burned at the
stake in 1314 on a Friday the 13th after a trial overseen by
the King of France and Pope Clement V.

The number 13 has a bad rap largely due to its unusual
qualities. In particular, 13 represents "all or nothing" through
transformation pertaining to degeneration or regeneration.
Symbolic death and rebirth is strongly associated to 13.
An example of the representative power of the number 13
is transitioning from modest means to vast wealth.

13 is considered a "Karmic Debt Number," as are the numbers
14, 16, and 19. These numbers involve more challenging
karma than other numbers.

The number 13 in key positions in a person's numerology
charts frequently symbolizes, depending upon the rest of the
charts' contents, the following energies: an irresponsible, lazy,
immature, idle, trivial, extravagant disposition; lack of
seriousness, or the opposite (one extreme or the other); rigidity;
inefficiency; restriction; low vitality, etc. There is also the high
side of 13, so keep in mind that the above qualities are only
part of the picture.

Otherwise, in matters of love, the number 13 involving time
cycles is solid and very often exceedingly fruitful.

In short, the number 13 isn't any more unlucky than any other
number. There exist negative and positive, and balanced, over-
balanced, and under-balanced qualities for every number. Bad
luck associated with Friday the 13th is just a misconception,
fueled by fear and subjective viewpoints.

Japan warns of small radiation leak from quake-hit plant

TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan warned there could be a small radiation leak from a nuclear reactor whose cooling system was knocked out by Friday's massive earthquake, but thousands of residents in the area had already been moved out of harm's way.

Underscoring grave concerns about the Fukushima plant some 240 km (150 miles) north of Tokyo, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said the U.S. air force had delivered coolant to avert a rise in the temperature of the facility's nuclear rods.

Pressure building in the reactor was set to be released soon, a move that could result in a radiation leak, officials said. Some 3,000 people who live within a 3 km radius of the plant had been evacuated, Kyodo news agency said.

"It's possible that radioactive material in the reactor vessel could leak outside but the amount is expected to be small and the wind blowing toward the sea will be considered," Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano told a news conference.

"Residents are safe after those within a 3 km radius were evacuated and those within a 10 km radius are staying indoors, so we want people to be calm," he added.

Prime Minister Naoto Kan was set to visit the plant on Saturday morning and also fly over the quake-hit area.

Tokyo Electric Power Co said pressure had built up inside a reactor at the Fukushima-Daiichi plant after the cooling system was damaged by the earthquake, the largest on record in Japan.

Pressure may have risen to 2.1 times the designed capacity, the trade ministry said. Media also said the radiation level was rising in the turbine building.

The cooling problems at the Japanese plant raised fears of a repeat of 1979's Three Mile Island accident, the most serious in the history of the U.S. nuclear power industry. However, experts

said the situation was, so far, less serious.

Equipment malfunctions, design problems and human error led to a partial meltdown of the reactor core at the Three Mile Island plant, but only minute amounts of dangerous radioactive gases were released.

"The situation is still several stages away from Three Mile Island when the reactor container ceased to function as it should," said Tomoko Murakami, leader of the nuclear energy group at Japan's Institute of Energy Economics.

Toshiaki Sakai, director of the Japan Atomic Industrial Forum International Cooperation Center, said global nuclear power companies around the globe have since the U.S. accident implemented over 53 safety improvements to avert a repeat.

Japan informed the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) that the quake and tsunami cut the supply of off-site power to the plant and diesel generators intended to provide back-up electricity to the cooling system.

The reactors shut down due to the earthquake account for 18 percent of Japan's nuclear power generating capacity.

Nuclear power produces about 30 percent of the country's electricity. Many reactors are located in earthquake-prone zones such as Fukushima and Fukui on the coast.

The IAEA estimates that around 20 percent of nuclear reactors around the world are currently operating in areas of significant seismic activity.

It said the sector began putting more emphasis on external hazards after an earthquake hit TEPCO's Kashiwazaki-Kariwa plant in July 2007, until then the largest to ever affect a nuclear facility.

When the earthquake hit the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear power plant four reactors shut down automatically. Water containing radioactive material was released into the sea, but without an adverse effect on human health or the environment, it said.

TEPCO had been operating three out of six reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant at the time of the quake, all of which shut down.

A spokesman said that there were no concerns of a water leak for the remaining three reactors at the plant, which had been shut for planned maintenance.

lyrics One Friend by Dan Seals

I always thought you were the best
I guess I always will.
I always thought that we were blessed
And I feel that way still.
Sometimes we took the hard road
But we always saw it through.

If I had only one friend left
I'd want it to be you.

Sometimes the world was on our side
Sometimes it wasn't fair.
Sometimes it gave a helping hand
Sometimes we didn't care.

'Cause when we were together
It made the dream come true.

If I had only one friend left
I'd want it to be you.

Someone who understands me
And knows me inside out.
Helps keep me together
And believes without a doubt,
That I could move a mountain
Someone to tell it to.

If I had only one friend left
I'd want it to be you.

Someone who understands me
And knows me inside out.
And helps keep me together
And believes without a doubt,
That I could move a mountain
Someone to tell it to.

If I had only one friend left
I'd want it to be you.

What to expect about Japan's economy in the next few years?

Aftershocks for the economy include lost man-hours and sales. Japan will have to quickly rebuild infrastructure damaged by the quake and its aftershocks if its businesses are to rebound soon. Japan's biggest earthquake since records began hit the northeast coast, triggering a 10-metre tsunami that inundated everything in its path as well as severe aftershocks.

For Japan, the worst of the earthquake damage has already happened. For Japanese businesses, it’s only beginning. The quake, the biggest to hit Japan in centuries, and the resulting tsunami that swept homes and cars out to sea, has caused tens of billions of dollars of property damage, by some early estimates. But the economic aftershocks – the longer-term damage to the island nation's businesses – won’t be known for months or years as the indirect effects of the quake kick in.

In natural disasters of this magnitude, business interruption can be huge. Damaged factories and offices mean that goods don’t get produced and sales don’t happen. Damaged roads and lack of power mean that workers can’t get to their jobs or work reduced shifts. Eventually, government aid and business catch-up, mitigate some of these losses.

For export-reliant Japan, the depth of the downturn in business will depend on the speed with which its transportation facilities and ports can come back on line.

“The business interruption is pretty significant, especially when there is a lot of property damage,” says Adam Rose, a research professor at the University of Southern California’s policy and planning school and an expert on the economic impacts of large-scale disaster. “There's no question of it being devastating to that province [hit by the tsunami]. As far as Japan as a whole is concerned, it’s not small. But it's probably not devastating.”

For businesses in northern Japan, which absorbed the worst of the shaking, the damage was substantial. All three of its major automakers felt the effects. A Honda worker died and 30 workers were injured when walls and parts of a ceiling crumbled at Honda’s research facility in northeastern Tochigi prefecture.

Toyota stopped production at two assembly plants. Nissan shut down five of its plants.

In addition, the quake-induced tsunami may have caused salt-water intrusion in the heavily agricultural region, which may take years for farmers to recover from, Mr. Rose says.

The rest of Japan also felt the effects of the temblor. It shook buildings in downtown Tokyo and shut down cellphone service. Millions of homes across Japan were left without electricity, because of power plants being shut down, including nuclear reactors. Bullet trains, commuter rail, and subways ground to a halt.

The 8.9 magnitude earthquake – the most powerful in the region for 1,200 years, according to the U.S. Geological Survey – could cost the insurance industry $10 billion, according to one analyst. But liability is limited because it hit a more remote area of the country and because a minority of Japanese households buy earthquake insurance.

The business interruption costs, however, could easily reach 50 percent or even 100 percent of those insurance costs, Rose says.

That total won’t be known for months or even years, because business interruption drags on. Kobe, Japan, hit by a huge earthquake in 1995, took more than four years to recover, he adds. New Orleans, hit by hurricane Katrina in 2005, is still recovering.

The earthquake couldn’t have come at a worse time for Japan’s economy, writes Julian Jessop, an economist with Toronto-based Capital Economics, in an analysis. “Japan’s economic recovery has lost momentum and a large part of the reconstruction costs will add to the government’s significant debt burden. It will be that much harder to deliver a credible long-term fiscal plan in the summer if the economy is stuck in recession, the public finances are in an even worse state, and many people are still suffering the after-effects of this disaster.”

Another Powerful quakes hit Japan's Nagano Prefecture early today


A series of powerful earthquakes hit an inland area northwest of Tokyo early Saturday, each measuring 6 on the Japanese seismic intensity scale of 7 in Nagano Prefecture, the Japan Meteorological Agency said.

The agency did not issue a tsunami warning. The 3:59 a.m. and 4:32 a.m. quakes, with preliminary magnitudes of 6.7 and 5.8 respectively, hit areas including Niigata Prefecture on the Sea of Japan coast, which is far from the Pacific coastal area jolted by a magnitude 8.8 quake the previous day.

A third predawn quake with a preliminary magnitude of 5.3 also hit the area at 5:42 a.m.

Police said they had received reports of a mudslide in the city of Tokamachi as well as avalanches in Tokamachi and the town of Tsunan following the early morning quakes.

Wooden buildings including a town hall and a garage were reportedly destroyed and some sections of Route 117 were ruptured in the village of Sakae in Nagano, a village official said. More than 100 villagers have been evacuated to the village government's building.

The focus of the first and second quakes was in central Niigata at a depth of 10 kilometers, the agency said.

The first quake measured upper 6 in Niigata but Tokyo Electric Power Co. said it was continuing to operate its Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear plant in the prefecture.

Researchers were already seeing signs for a huge quake to hit Japan a year back


I found this video on Youtube uploaded on Apr 26, 2010. They have already predicted a huge earthquake basing on the seismic activities around Tokyo. Just before a year the video upload, the big earthquake truly occurred.

It will greatly affect the economy of Japan and some parts of the world. The researchers are right. A big quake could devastate the city greatly.

In that video, the assumption was an earthquake with at least a magnitude of 7.0.

These are the projected effects:

Casualties: 11,000 will die

Evacuees: 7 million

Damage: 800 billion Euros

Good thing Japan is highly advanced when it comes to technology. However, the forces of nature are beyond man's control. We can try to minimize the risk but surely we are unable to stop it from happening.

If you try to imagine the earthquake that occurred last 1923 in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan, 200,000 people died. It only had 7.9 magnitude compared to what happened on March 11, 2011 mid afternoon.

Both Hiroshima and Nagasaki are found in the southern part of Japan. The country expects to have a major quake once in 5 years. There were 19 earthquakes in the last 100 years.

In 1995, a quake hit Kobe. 20 seconds devastated Kobe and over 6,000 people died.

People should safeguard their own destiny according to the researchers.

Design of buildings

Definitely, buildings in Japan are designed with amazing flexibility to sway during earthquakes. However, for what has happened recently, the country was not prepared for the tsunamis that devastated many lives.

Concrete slabs are mounted on pillars with hydraulic shock absorbers. This makes the building withstand a huge earthquake.

Based on the map above, there is no other country between the Philippines and Japan. What lies between is a big ocean. Although it is quite far, big waves brought by a tsunami can be expected.

I have encircled some of the significant places with regard to the 8.9 magnitude earthquake that hit Japan in the afternoon of March 11, 2011.

Light planes and vehicles sit among the debris after they were swept by a tsunami that struck Sendai airport in northern Japan on Friday March 11, 2011.

What are the risks of allowing programs through a firewall?

When you create an exception or open a port in a firewall, you allow a particular program to send information to or from your computer through the firewall. Allowing a program to communicate through a firewall (sometimes called unblocking) is like opening a tiny door in the firewall.

Each time you create an exception or open a port for a program to communicate through a firewall, your computer becomes a bit less secure. The more exceptions or open ports your firewall has, the more opportunities there are for hackers or malicious software to use one of those openings to spread a worm, access your files, or use your computer to spread malicious software to others.

It's generally safer to create a program exception than to open a port. If you open a port, it stays open until you close it, whether or not a program is using it. If you create an exception, the "door" is open only when needed for a particular communication.

To help decrease your security risk:

Only create an exception or open a port when you really need to, and remove exceptions or close ports that you no longer need.

Never create an exception or open a port for a program that you do not recognize.

Why is Nonito Donaire changing his name?

Nonito Donaire amazed millions of fans around the world after a 2nd-round knockout over his Mexican opponent Fernando Montiel. As a consequence, he got the Mexican's World Boxing Council and World Boxing Organization bantamweight titles. That improved his boxing record to 26-1 with 18 KO wins.

Just recently, Nonito Donaire considers changing his name coz somebody else is using his SSN or Social Security number. In the US, the SSN is very important to them and they do not disclose this to anybody else. Financial information, credit background, and all other confidential information can be traced thru that SSN.

Allegedly, someone is trying to use the SSN of Nonito Donaire, Jr. for a credit card application. Nonito's father, Nonito Donaire, Sr., believes that his son is hitting on him. This is a big insult for his father urging Donaire, Sr. to issue unfavorable statements against the younger Donaire.

The move of Nonito Donaire, Jr. to change his name is to prevent future scams.

Knowing what you don’t do and what you do do?  (The do do thing has actually fascinated me which I got from Friends)

(The above image is just a sample, so basically you will need a small pad or notebook and a pen).

In order for you to better know yourself, you have to list down all the things that you want to do and the things that you don’t have the feel of doing. The New Year is so timely for you to make this list which will give you some bearing and a really fresh start. Now, you get a clean sheet of paper and make it an assignment and later on you can check it again to make some modifications or update it for any progress.

Also, I just want to share about how magnificent the Power of listing can do to you. It is really helpful to make it a habit to list the things that you want to do. It will set you in direction and will surely make you accomplish your plans effectively. If you don’t list or write down things, there is a great probability that you will forget them. As the saying goes, “The palest of ink is better than the sharpest memory”. By experience, I have proven that it is true. I do make a list of the things that I have to do in a day and checks them by the time I have accomplished them. In that way, you will know how successful you are in a day to day basis. This will help you get organized as well.
