Japan struggling to cool down nuclear reactor - Polidicks

Works for me, it's just in German.

Background count everywhere as far as I remember from high school physics is about 385 CPM. By the way I didn't check that link, I'm at work so it would likely be blocked anyway :v:

[QUOTE=StealthArcher;28559874]link is broken, fix or new link please.[/QUOTE] Works fine here.

Never mind, picture just broke.

From 12,700 BQ/M cubed to like 175,000 BQ/M cubed whatever that measurement means.

Looks like that CNN guy wasn't completely right. Lucky for me this is the other side of the planet.

If this shit goes critical California is fucked. Which blows because I live in California and I don't enjoy being fucked by anyone except Mrs. Wallace.

Why is it that whenever anyone mentions the West coast everyone thinks of California? :saddowns: [editline]12th March 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Codename 47;28559912]Holy shit, a building just blew up[/QUOTE] Another one?

So it's pretty god damned highh, even normally, where I live it was something like 300-800 as far as I remember, and my school had a chunk of low level radioactive material as far as I remember too, just to show us how the Geiger counters reacted.

Nah, if you misread it it'll have to be 1000 or so, unless they corrected it to compensate for the background radiation count.

Shit has really hit the fan

Not to say Japan is as bad as Soviet Russia, but keep it in mind.

[quote]11.41am: Japan's chief cabinet secretary, Yukio Edano, has told a press conference that "it has yet to be confirmed whether [the explosion at Fukushima No 1 plant] was that of a nuclear reactor itself". He added: "At present, after the talks among political party heads held a while ago, government officials including the prime minister and the minister of economy, trade, and industry, along with experts, are making all-out efforts to get hold of and analyse the situation, and to take measures."[/quote]

Curse my inability to read German! :argh:

I took German in highschool. It might as well be Greek.

Now to build a sarcophagus around it and leave it for a few hundred years. And to go urbexing in the abandoned surrounding area.
