I might add that the comments afterwords were quite something---out of my league---but some nuclear experts chime in. Sancho, if you worked in a nuke
you might be interested

While at times, I was in and around Nuke Material, and
was monitered for radiation levels by So. Cal Edison employees,
which I have personally little trust/ faith in, the tech side is
something out of my pay grade |
When I worked for NAVSAE one of my responsibilities was calibration of the Dosimeters used on nuclear subs and the technician doing the calibration
was caught deliberately calibrating them too low. She was fired for sabotage but never convicted of a crime.

I would never trust someone who was putting out info
that would PROTECT their job if said info was written to
lean a certain way, in this case favorable to the operator
of the now closed San Onofre plant. Caught a TV program the other day
which had spokesman/scientists who were previously Anti Nuke
who had done a 180 change, now in favor of Nuke
Electric production, the reason being it would cut back
in emissions from other air polluting generating
sources, could not tell if it was legit or not

Somewhere I had nanogram stuck in the back of my head. Thanks.
The molten fuel rods are not contained. Japan can only pray that the mass does not encounter ground water. As far as I know San Onofre did not suffer
a coolant shutdown failure. I'm not worried about seawater DILUTION of contaminated debris, I'm concerned with a high activity contamination of debris
that can float across the Pacific. Debris that can be used as fuel for a bonfire.

I am going to hide in my house and never go to Baja again...probably not even safe to burn the wood you buy in small bundles at home depot!
Work is just something I do to keep me buzy between baja trips!
