They are studying the Belarusian experience in mitigation of the aftermath of NPP explosion, which is relevant for Japan after Fukushima accident. Japanese specialists are interested in management of long-term problems, which may arise on the contaminated territories, health of people, possibility of farming and territory deactivation. Foreign experts will visit [...] research & development institutes and hospitals.

What a laugh.
What are they DOING? sitting with a handful of people in a meeting room and writing what seems to be their shopping lists – there should be an international panel of experts instead!!
This sickening to watch.
Funny language though. Couldn't understand a word – but doesn't make much of a difference, I suppose.

—————–
Exactly B&B.
It appears the accurate data on radiation effects is considered an asset related to national security.
Much like information on how to go about 'cleaning up' the melted fuel.
From today's paper in SC:
"A recovery road map was developed early on that estimated that the recovery may take about a decade, but it was later realized that much of the recovery needs cannot be met by Japan's current available resources.
"They don't have the technology necessary to move forward with a lot of this stuff, and they're trying to develop that from the U.S.," Franz said."

Thanks Admin, this is from IAEA's status report from January, page 3:
"This document introduces a number of technical issues which need to be resolved during the Recovery & Development program.
It discusses prospective technologies that could be introduced to help solve these challenges."
The last sentence tops it off, I think.

hi chem
reactor 4 at chernobyl will take another 100 years according to belarus authorities
and theres this too
"…A nuclear expert has warned that it might be 100 years before melting fuel rods can be safely removed from Japan’s Fukushima nuclear plant. …
“As the water leaks out, you keep on pouring water in, so this leak will go on for ever,” said Dr John Price, a former member of the Safety Policy Unit at the UK’s National Nuclear Corporation.
“There has to be some way of dealing with it. The water is connecting in tunnels and concrete-lined pits at the moment and the question is whether they can pump it back.
“The final thing is that the reactors will have to be closed and the fuel removed, and that is 50 to 100 years away. ……"

It will take a thousand years at this level of activity. Until taking care of this mess is out of the way of Tepco's profitability and Japan's pride, nothing is going to get done. We need an extreme effort and go in while the material is hot. Can't do it now but getting that ability should be everyone's not just Japan's responsibility.

which is why I'm suspicious of these calls for international assistance. They're only now getting a handle on the cost of this nightmare and have begun to look for ways to spin this into an 'assistance' program. I'd have no problem assisting Japan or any other nation in shutting nuclear power down. What I'm not interested in, is offsetting the losses created by the continued use of this technology on this planet. Taxpayers should refuse any further support of this corporate welfare scam…called nuclear power…

Gotta love the NewSpeak here, with 'Territory Deactivation'. Wow. I've gotta remember that one and use it in conversation whenever the opportunity arises. Just to watch the reactions of people when the meaning sinks in…

Agreed.
"Territory Deactivation" – Sends shivers down my spine.
About as chilling as anything I've read in any dystopic, futuristic post-Apocalyptic Armageddon novel I've read.
(I try to stay away from those these days. Too much realism for me!)
Sigh…Sorry for the dark humor today. Couldn't resist.

Dark indeed is the humor. It also has its immensely valuable socio-political uses.
But then, I'm a professional fool. §;o)

JoyB,….I wanna be a 'professional fool'!
Report Comment
You are, Jill. The Fool is the representative of "everyman" in the court of the king. He alone of all present in a delicate negotiation can say what nobody dare say. He might lose a head because of it, so the king can save face and gain time to consider the objection. That is why the jester carries a bauble head on a stick. The bauble suffers the punishment, the king saves face, and the decision will be weighed for impact on "everyman."
It's a dirty job, but somebody's got to do it… §;o)
Report Comment
@JoyB & StillJill: the Fool is also the most significant archetype within the Major Arcana; represented as being engrossed in sensuous gratification, whilst blithely stepping over the edge of the cliff. Now, did the ancients get that one right or what?
Report Comment
That is the meaning of the card. In certain alignment. The interpretation-to-scripture I was familiar with many years ago was I Corinthians, 3:18-19…
"If any man among you seems wise in the ways of this world, let him become a fool, that he may be truly wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness to God."
Nailed of course by the next sentence/verse declaratory which states in no uncertain terms…
"He will entrap the wise men in the web of their own cleverness."
They are now (once again – it's happened before) trapped in the web of their own cleverness. Once again it's up to us to not let them loose again.

Sigh…to quote the Bard:

I am so sorry, Joy I didn't know you had lost a son. My sincerest condolences. Having just lost my mother jusr last month, the hurt is still fresh.

The young pirate in the fire-eating pic is our daughter's son. He and son's son are just 2 months apart in age. We have six other grandchildren from our adopteds, youngest of them is not yet two.
We have lived a fine, full lives. Not sorry for a moment of it, though some of it wasn't fun. It's all gravy to me, 'they' told me I was dying back when I was just 7 years old. I didn't believe them, here I am still. So I'm not scared of much. Threaten mine, and I'll come meet you on any field you name. I guess on this level of karma, it's about all anyone can do. The planet won't miss me and mine once we're gone. It's what we do while we're here that counts…
