Just How Many People Showed Up at 6.11 No-Nuke Demonstrations on June 11?, EX-SKF, June 11, 2011:
[...] The best (for MSM) coverage goes to Asahi Shinbun,
who treated the news of the nationwide events as one of the top news.
The article at Asahi has pictures and videos of the protests in various
parts of the country, and pins the number of participants as follows:
- 20,000 in one demonstration in Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, quoting the number by the event organizer;
- 200 in Koriyama-City, Fukushima Prefecture.
[...] There were at least 14 events in Tokyo that were carried live on the net. Including the events that weren’t net-casted, there were over 20 events in Tokyo alone. Throughout Japan, the 6.11 No-Nukes site lists 174 events worldwide.
[...] Unofficial numbers for some events in Tokyo and Kanagawa, from the tweets:
20,000 in Shinjuku, Tokyo
6,000 in Shiba Park, Tokyo
1,500 in Yoyogi Park, Tokyo
700 in Kunitachi City, Tokyo
4,000 Yokohama, KanagawaNot too bad for a rainy day and for a country not used to go against any official, government policy. [...]

NHK says 2,400 took part. Hmmm, a very narrow focus perhaps.
“About 2,400 protesters took part in a rally in central Tokyo.”

I sincerely hope Japan gets its collective ass in gear. Demand accurate scientific assessments of the radiation threat at the very least. It will take more than 20,000 though.

Rich Misty at HP just came up this a BREAKTHROUGH!
Tepco is releasing video of various locations inside the plant, and is changing the location descriptions. For example, in the first released video inside Unit 4, we can clearly see a ruptured fuel pool. One entire side of the fuel pool is blown out right down to the top of the fuel racks, and the tops of the fuel racks are dry. The tops of the fuel racks are covered with tons of debris, and the refueling bridge is laying on top of the fuel racks:

This video was released a few weeks later and shows a fuel pool covered with several feet of clear water and minimal debris. It is identified as the Unit 4 spent fuel pool, but clearly, it is not. This video is another fuel pool on the site that has been labeled as Unit 4 by Tepco.

Whoopie I’ve been wondering if today’s videos of the plant are recycled older ones because of that huge smoke/steam event yesterday. While it is possible the steam stemmed from water being added or temporary re-criticality, I’ve wondered…
At about 15:00 on June 12 TEPCO camera time I saw a crane move in front of all the buildings swinging something.
Did anyone see that before?
Report Comment
Can I be blunt.
The reason the water is always above 24c. (oceanic temp).
Is because the fuel is in a state of constant fission.
That is also why iodide is found globally to date.
There is no Re-criticality.
The fuel is always critical. The water simply acts as a buffer between radioactive releases…
Knowing this, we can determine, that the fuel is constantly eating its way through the bottom of the pools…
So when you see major releases.
Its simply major damages to the spent fuel pool,
The fuel basically reaches temps of kelvin, and the materials of the fuel pool go up in smoke…
Thats what you are witnessing when you see the steam rise…
Is the bottom of the fuel pool, melting away.
Report Comment
Ugh. That doesn’t sound good.
How thick is the bottom of the fuel pool?
What about reactors 1, 2 and 3?
Is the corium burning through the concrete/bedrock?

I can’t decode this stuff anymore. Does not make any sense. I am 99.9% sure taco is a real person. The other 0.1% I reserve for an AI program out there built to annoy. If so, congratulations! I’m done taking the Turing Test.

The kelvin is a unit of measurement for temperature. It is one of the seven base units in the International System of Units (SI) and is assigned the unit symbol K. The Kelvin scale is an absolute, thermodynamic temperature scale using as its null point absolute zero, the temperature at which all thermal motion ceases in the classical description of thermodynamics. The reference point that defines the Kelvin scale is the triple point of water at 273.16 K (0.01 °C; 32.02 °F). The kelvin is defined as 1/273.16 of the difference between these two reference points.
The Kelvin scale is named after the Belfast-born engineer and physicist William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin (1824–1907), who wrote of the need for an “absolute thermometric scale”. Unlike the degree Fahrenheit and degree Celsius, the kelvin is not referred to or typeset as a degree. The kelvin is the primary unit of measurement in the physical sciences, but is often used in conjunction with the degree Celsius, which has the same magnitude. Absolute zero at 0 K is −273.15 °C (−459.67 °F).

“Built to annoy”…. and built to educate as well, IMO.
Think deep space Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation at 2.726 K, where Fukushima should be transported to cool it down forever, if only Scotty were still here to do the job.
Since he is not with us any longer, these reactors have been heating up like they are going to form a new sun or make a new Big Bang.
What is happening at Fukushima now is a reverse Big Bang. Fukushima is heating up rather than cooling down, meaning that we are going toward an (other) explosion, not away from one.

Bacically thermal temp.
The bigger point was that the fuel is always critical. It has been since march 11th. Thats a big misconception…

Also kelvin is typically used in reference to Physics, and Extreamly high tempratures…
Like measuring the suns temps, ect.

Why introduce Kelvin into the discussion when all measurements are being presented in Celsius? It smacks of showmanship.
How old are you? Like this let the others know you are only 25 and thus very wet behind the ears.
Your assumption of constant criticality is not warranted. It is probably more like Gundersen speculates – a “breathing” or on/off heat pulse.

Darth, Are we here to learn or to argue? You learned today about the Kelvin Scale of Absolute Temperature Measurement.
That is something that you didn’t know before and should be happy about now.
Think about thanking Tacoma for posting this knowledge. I thought that we were here to all learn together.

What the?? I know what the Kelvin scale is, silly! And even if I didn’t, no one asked for a wikipedia copy and paste; any idiot can do that. That wasn’t the point. A quantity without units is just as worthless as a unit without a quantity. You could have said a thousand degrees Fahrenheit, Celsius, kelvin or reaumur and I’d at least know what you’re saying. Your sentence still makes no sense and regurgitating Wikipedia doesn’t make it any better.

Kelvin was referenced in respect to Nuclear thermal dynamics.

“Why must you always use Kelvins when dealing with the ideal gas law?”
Our understanding of gases is based on the kinetic theory of gases. This theory has to with understanding how fast gases move as a function of temperature. Since molecular motion stops at 0 K, everything is referenced to the kelvin scale, which is an absolute measurement of temperature.
Celsius is just referenced to the freezing point and boiling point of water, which really has nothing to do with most gases!
Please do not call me silly (insulting me). While presenting me a question, that you obviously, have no intention of asking…

This is the only news story I have read that describes panic and death in the evacuation of Fukushima. Have none of the survivors spoken about this? It also gives the lie to the official statement that there is ‘difficulty’ getting people to evacuate. It sounds as if the younger people were more than happy to do so, with sometimes tragic results.

BetaFlare,
yes indeed I’m happy the nuke plants in Germany will be shut down. I think it can be a great example to the world and encourage others to do the same. Maybe not the governments (yet), but it will surely fuel protest against nukes. Because it proves that another energy system is possible, even today.
Also the French and Finland know how to use a calculator. As soon as it shows that alternative energies are way cheaper than nuclear power – not only in the long term but also in production – the hardcore-nukers will change their minds. Money rules.

ofcourse those reactors shouldnt have been build, ever. and there is only 1 solution, shut the rest down and replace with alternative energies, the cost of land lost and human loss and ocean loss is so much greater then diference between alternative and nuclear… any advocate of nuclear energy is a ignorant fool or a moraless bastard

What the f… are we going to cal this for.
I belive that this latest moves from all thos gov.spokspersons and other “expert” statments are to move limits upvard and to minimaize the costs, concequenses and future economic resopsibility. Its uterly pathetic and a crime againts the people of Japan and USA/Canada.
People of Japan, there is a race against time now, the seriousness is mounting.
Wake up, this is nowhere near Tjernobyl, because its on a new scale, and this is beyound Tjernobyl, this people of Japan is the mother of all f..ups.
Pardon my laguage and words, but its difficould to remind calm, when a mass genocide is going on, and this, people of Japan has only started.
Its going to be faar more dangerous then what it is to day.
You better move and wake up, people of Japan, before its to late.
I belive the situation is mutch, mutch more wurse that they are willingly to admitt, this is realy bad.
Its almoust irrelevant what the news are telling us, its not stopped and thats anouf for me, its only going to be wurse and accumulating.
Its not easy to cope, and to start fighting back the goverments treason, but in a life time we all face this in various deegres, and for the fisth time, there is a genuin world wide catasrofe and this time we cant sitt still and waths they destroy our Planet(DNA damage).

Japanese stage antinuclear protest in New York
PTI | 04:06 PM,Jun 12,2011
New York, Jun 12 (Kyodo) An antinuclear protest organised by Japanese people took place in New York, three months after a magnitude 9.0 earthquake and ensuing tsunami triggered a nuclear crisis at an atomic power plant in Fukushima Prefecture, northeastern Japan.About 60 people, around half of them Japanese, participated in the gathering yesterday, holding up large folded paper cranes and banners, while calling for the closure of nuclear power reactors in Japan and the United States.New Yorkers who took part said they want to express their solidarity with the people of Japan and Fukushima.Yuko Tonohira, a 31-year-old from Hokkaido and one of the organisers of the event, said, “There are also dangerous nuclear power plants near New York. I want to tell the local people about such fears and ask them to work together to eliminate nuclear plants.”(Kyodo)
