Following an earthquake early warning system on twitter. It sends out an alert based on the p-wave detection. Pretty unreal seeing it before it happens or is talked about.

Well what do you know. They didn't show that ass again.
Those are the CNN World anchors.
I'm curious. Cite some sources for this transmutation of matter "into heat" There's thermal radiation from the bomb that's of course going to burn and vaporize matter, but how is the bomb converting matter, other than a portion of its own fuel, or the secondary stage of a fusion weapon, into energy?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Trinity_Test_-_Oppenheimer_and_Groves_at_Ground_Zero_002.jpg
Oppenheimer and Groves at the remnant of the Trinity shot tower, ground zero. The rest of the tower ended up as particles in the fireball ("Fallout") They didn't cease to exist, they just changed form
In theory, it should be possible to convert all of the mass in matter into heat and light (which would of course have the same mass), but none of the theoretically known methods are practica
>Again I ask---where do you think all this "high-level radiation" is going RIGHT NOW???
It's NOT being shot all at once directly into the jetstream, which is al a nuke would do

If they calculated the math and decided a course of action which was to their best interests, it would be their decision. The USA would act under their (The Government of Japan) specifications.

More on the boron.

"S. Korea to ship boron to Japan to stabilize nuclear reactors
SEOUL, March 16, Kyodo
South Korea plans to transfer its reserve of boron to Japan to help its neighbor stabilize quake-damaged nuclear reactors, the government said Wednesday.
State-run Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Co., which operates South Korea's 21 commercial reactors, plans to ship its reserve boron to
Japan in the next few days, Yonhap News Agency reported.
Japan requested South Korea's provision of the material vital for stopping fission nuclear reactions after its own stockpile was largely used up at the Fukushima nuclear power plant.

I never saw an earthquake warning read on the air before.
And then the actual earthquake.
Very cool!

Saved, to glorify God.
According to REUTERS Developments today:
* Workers ordered to leave the quake-damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant were allowed back in after radiation levels fell (9PM)
* Workers ordered to leave the quake-damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant were allowed back in after radiation levels fell (9PM)
Much better numbers.

"URGENT: Radiation briefly topped 10 millisievert at Fukushima plant
TOKYO, March 16, Kyodo
The radiation level at the quake-hit Fukushima No.1 nuclear power plant reached 10 millisievert per hour at one point Wednesday morning, possibly due to the damage at its No.2 reactor the day before, the government's nuclear safety agency said.
The maximum level was measured at the plant's front gate at 10:40 a.m. It fell to 6.4 millisievert at 10:45 a.m. and to 2.3 millisievert at 10:54 a.m. but rose again to about 3.4 millisievert as of 11:00 a.m., the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency said.

Shindo 3 ain't no thang.
Japan gets alot of earthquakes even at normal times...

I agree JT.
That picture is looking toward the SouthWest at reactor # 4.
You can see the "two pipe" exhaust stack beyond the damaged building, a single pipe one just to the right on THIS side of the reactor building.
I can't tell if the building in the foreground is #3 reactor building or some kind of auxilliary building.
If that is #3, I wouldnt be surprised if the spent fuel pool AND the reactor containment are in fact damaged.
Yep, I have moved to the dark side !!
I suspect that seeing the word "abandoned" in multiple headlines has gotten to the folks at TEPCO.

3. Contrary to some reports, a core group of workers remain at the Fukushima Daiichi plant. It is not abandoned. about 1 hour ago via web

Yep.. now is the time for breathing... coffee.. bio breaks... enjoy the "peace" while it lasts...
Heroism is an overused word these days, but the Fukushima 50 have well earned the title of hero.
Or until I make dinner for DW. Three days in a row now and another shoe drops.
Tomorrow she gets a bag of chips and that's it!
That's the spirit!! Tell her the fate of the world depends on you not making dinner.
BTW, just FYI... Bahrain is going hot. Saudi troops are clearing out the protesters from Pearl.

I quit. Last couple of days there is A Major World Incident when I cook.
Beef jerky and a Miller High Life from now on.

This article mentions that is exactly what that photo depicts, Jeffrey. The article has some relatively old material in it, but also some good small details about the events of today, as well.

I gotta say, I can't take much more of this crap. As was stated in an earlier post on this thread, if a Sci-fi movie were proposed using this as the script, it would never be made. NO ONE would believe it. And yet every day (and in some cases every hour) we're seeing a larger disaster unfold. My nerves are absolutely shot. And I'm not kidding.
I left the PC for 20 minutes when they said the operators had been evacuated.
My brain couldn't process that concept.
I saw a report the other day that a u2 was also being used for doing some air sampling. I didn't post about it because I haven't seen any confirmation.

Just out of curiousity, I have been walking around the house with it. It still alerts every 15 to 30 seconds, but when I went out into the back yard it went to chirping every ten seconds. I know my husband has an old radiotion detector (one of those yellow CD jobs) but I have no idea where it is. I will mount a search for it in the morning and change the battery out to see what it reads.
