Japan's nuclear plant still 'two weeks' from being made safe - The Telegraph

Joe,

Do Spotted Owls really taste like chicken?

[Munz]

I think your right. I was reading on how they do bury them. They say that the radiation would eventually crack the cement that it becomes encased in. But that is like 100 years down the road.

But the option is to try to contain it and that is just not happening.

But it’s not going to affect me much.”

Would you say the same if Pilgrim Nuclear Generating Station would blow up ?

Two weeks to be made safe?

I suppose that’s an open definition...lol

Lessee, the Pilgrim plant is about 120 miles from here... so I think I'd be OK!

Uh... Taste like bald eagle!

There are places in sweden 800 miles away from chernobyl and it’s still not save to grow food there. So i doubt that a 120 miles distance would protect you. Not that you would drop dead, but the chances that you will suffer from cancer caused by long term radiation.

Nah. More like delta smelt.

What They're Covering Up at Fukushima

[Fido969]

Radiation burns?

This isn't just “the amount of radiation from a chest X-ray” territory.

But, hey - Radiation Is Good For You!

[glock rocks]

800 miles? Holy carp. Pilgrim is graphite moderated?

When the tsunami hits Plymouth, you’re toast Fido. On the upside, when Pilgrim’s operating license expires next year, and the hysteria level can be maintained, you’re in the clear.

[Munz]

thank you

[bvw]

You have your opinions. You make some effort to have them and refine then.

Please accept my apology to you for the harsh names I have have called you.

[Fido969]

vapor is a hell of lot more compressible than solid ice,

lol.

Never dealt with high pressure, have you? That's from a half teaspoon of smokeless power.

Expanding gases can be unforgiving.

[winoneforthegipper]

Lol....yep nothing to see here move along...lol!

[expatpat]

You have a point. However, that damage is caused by the shock-wave from a high-speed vaporization -- you produce the same amount of vapor over a period of a second, say, and the bullet doesn't even go any distance, never mind about damaging a nice revolver.
