Know nukes.

Someone who knows a bit about radioactive clouds explains why Chernobyl II is not going to be happening, concluding his post with:
Instead of spending money on potassium iodide tablets, how's about writing a check to the relief fund of your choice to help the folks on the other side of the Pacific who have no electricity, no food, no water, no shelter, and need to get their lives back on an even keel after witnessing so much death and destruction? You'll feel better, honest.

Meanwhile, in an editorial at CNN, one Patrick Doherty, director of the Smart Strategy Initiative at the New America Foundation, says that the Deepwater Horizon and Fukushima I incidents prove that we should move away from our dependence on oil and nukes and build our infrastructure in a way that is dependent on toxic heavy metals controlled by foreign powers with all the environmental concern of the old Warsaw Pact, and which doesn't work on still and cloudy days. Mr. Doherty's engineering credentials for designing this new infrastructure are impressive:
Before returning to Washington, Mr. Doherty spent ten years in the Middle East, Africa, the Balkans and the Caucuses working at the intersection of conflict and development. He served as Catholic Relief Services' European Regional Advisor for Peacebuilding, as a consultant to the Organization of African Unity, and advised the Israeli and the Palestinian Authority's education ministries. He also taught African politics at the University of the Witwatersrand. Mr. Doherty holds a master's degree in security studies from the Fletcher School, Tufts University, where he co-founded the Institute for Human Security, and a bachelor's degree from the School of International Service at American University.
You know, if he'd had a fine arts degree, I could at least think he'd operated something as technical as a kiln or had maybe gotten a rudimentary knowledge of chemistry by mixing pigments...

Meanwhile, in comments to an earlier post, reader docjim505 asks:
My grandfather ... worked at Oak Ridge during World War II and was exposed to beryllium and perhaps other things. He died of cancer at the age of 86. Did his exposures from forty years earlier cause the cancer? Or was it that he smoked most of his life AND worked variously as a coal miner and textile mill worker? Or did his heart disease, diabetes and plain old age do him in? How does one make that determination?
Well, that depends. Who are you getting your grant money from?

  2. NO FAIR! NO FAIR! You're not s'pposed to actually research the background of the experts presented to us by the other experts in MiniTru! This guy is an EXPERT, I tell you! Layers and layers of editors and fact-checkers at CNN say so! So, just shut up, take what he says as the ultimate and irrefutable (dare I say "gospel"?) Truth, and DO WHAT HE SAAAAAYYYYYY!!!!!

    / sarc

    It would be of some interest to ask the clowns at CNN why they thought that asking a man with no science or engineering background to comment on a scientific / engineering question would be a good idea. Do they ask physicists to comment on abortion? Mechanical engineers to comment on the federal budget?

    Sheesh...

    Hey Tammy, read this clueless. 16 seconds and you are dead asshat!:

    Workers at Chernobyl could work on the roof of the plant, where there were insane levels of radiation for a minute and a half...

    [link to www.bloomberg.com]

    Radiation is also leaking from spent fuel rods stored in a pool near reactors No. 3 and No. 4. Water in the pool has evaporated due to radioactive heat, exposing the uranium- containing rods to the atmosphere. The exposed rods can emit radiation and give out radioactive iodine and cesium, both of which are cancer-causing agents.

    A worker at the edge of the pool would receive a fatal radiation dose in 16 seconds, said David Lochbaum, a nuclear physicist for the Union of Concerned Scientists and a former Nuclear Regulatory Commission safety instructor.

  25. Boat Guy - I'd druther have a Mechanical Engineer comment on the Federal Budget than Bernanke or Geithner; an ME would probably ask a cogent question and insist on a rational answer based on logic and fact...

    Right there with you. I tend to quietly (and sometimes loudly) sneer at liberal arts types because so many of them seem to have no knowledge of this "logic and fact" of which you speak. I suppose it comes from too many years of writing essays about "what do you think the author was trying to say?" rather than "solve for x".

    Anyway, we know that engineers know how to add and subtract, which puts them MILES ahead of the morons running our government.

    With regard to the story of the hour (whether we like it or not, apparently!), I see from NHK's website that the JSDF have finished dumping water into reactor #3. Stories coming out of Japan are confused, and small wonder: it's not like people can just stroll into the reactor buildings, have a good look 'round, take a few pics for the old scrapbook, and come out to a calm collection of highly-informed journalists who want a detailed report of the technical facts. I recall the confusion after the recent Tucson shooting, and that was a helluva lot simpler than the situation in Japan.

    I'm sure that the Japanese authorities are also weighing just what to say because they must balance the needs of keeping their people fully informed with the need to keep them from panicking and making their own situations worse. For example, I wouldn't be surprised to find that there will be a KI tablet shortage and people in Japan who MAY really need it will be unable to get it because people who DON'T need it (including panicked Americans thousands of miles away) bought it all up.

    Oh, by the way: people have died in a Japanese emergency shelter from a want of proper medical supplies and trained personnel. Again, let's keep the problems in perspective: there are people in danger of death RIGHT NOW from mundane things like dehydration, exposure, hunger and sepsis; radiation sickness, outside of a relative handful of people, is a VERY minor concern just now.

  27. Lest my comment be mis-interpreted, I didn't think anybody was seeking death. But I have heard that radiation is good for curing cancer and trolls.

    As an aside, I recieved radiation treatment for an ear infection back in the 1950's. That involved a dude in a lead apron inserting a small module containing radium into my nose for a few minutes. $20 bucks a pop, big money to my dad back then. Who knows what it did to my brain, but I still can't hear with my right ear.

This may not make me a Harvard School of Gooberment Socialist Asshat who claims to know EVERYTHING, but having ate, slept, drank and defecated next to a Nuke Reactor for weeks at a time, never getting more than 300 FEET away at MAXIMUM, I think I'm "Expert" enough to talk about this issue. Now, Spectre of Destruction, when you start quoting info from the Union of Concerned Scientists, you reveal yourself to be part of the same No Nuke, Tree Hugging, Earth First, Prius driving pack of fools who want to DESTROY Western Civilization and bring about a Marxist Utopia that would leave this planet populated with about 500,000 of your closest like-minded Fellow Travelers, such as Al Gore, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, and B.Hussein Obama. Too bad the People's Republic of China and Tzar Putin have different views about what their long term goals are, but I'm sure you'll cross that bridge when you come to it (as THEY tie a rope around your neck and toss you over the side, you Useful Idiot)! The only questions I have are these: A.) Do you have to pay for the High Speed Internet to receive your Marching Orders from the White House, or does the Union pick up the tab? B.) How was it Shitting in the Wisconsin State House without Toilet Paper? Or were those Union Printed Placards soft enough to allow you to blow your nose and wipe your butt, since those of you out there with your head up your ass can do both at the same time.

    For the GrownUps in the Audience, Nuclear Safety comes down to 3 simple steps : Time, Distance, and Shielding. Minimize your exposure Time, Maximize your Distance, Maximize your Shielding. See Keeney's "Nuclear War Survival Skills" for details. It's FREE to download from various sites. But be warned! Exposure to too many FACTS at one time may cause a PinHeaded Earth Firster Brain to explode, so watch out for Cranial Matter Ejection! Inhalation of that stuff will DEFINITELY reduce your I.Q. Level. Heck, get enough of that crap in your system, you might end up working at CNN (if your Cleavage is large enough)!

    Next, your source for the "containment vessel" breaching business is some weird, semi-intelligible foreclosure-panic blogger who's been diagnosing the reactors by eyeballing fuzzy news footage herself. P.S. she doesn't know what an atom is. She also posted "A Real photo from 1916 - showing an Angel in the Sky".

    One more day of thanks to Tam for being gracious enough to host this stuff.

    While not my primary job, I've been detailed to our EOC for many RERP sessions, trainings, exercises, and even a few real deals over the last few decades, so yes, I've worn a few dosimeters in my day. Nothing near as exciting as some of the .mil guys here, but I do know a few things about RERP and personal preparedness about such situations.

    Some of the stuff here is pretty good but that's mostly from folks that have been around here for a while. The rest of the stuff is simply evidence that it must be spring break somewhere. 'Anonymous' means nothing to me; I wonder how many folks have had the turkey at Sphinctre's house?

    I also wonder how many of the alarmists have a year's worth of food & water set aside? Or even a few months? Weeks? Days? No? How baout some KI? Or not having such preparations - as everyone should - is perhaps the reason why certain juveniles are coming here to have their tantrums?

    Anyway, between the .gov and MiniTru yapping about KI (saw a whole story about it on CNN this morning), I'm sure that some people will be rushing out to stockpile it, just as they rushed out to stockpile Cipro and ill-fitting surplus chemical suits and gas masks several years ago. It's the modern-day equivalent of buying a piece of the real, genuine, authentic Cross to ward off evil spirits. I recall that the company I worked for at the time made face masks; we sold out even though our masks were not even remotely rated for keeping buggies out of one's lungs (actually, they were for people working in electronics cleanrooms and intended to protect the electronics parts from the person, not protect the person from much of anything). Yet, we couldn't make 'em fast enough.

    ReplyDelete
  64. I work in an integrative pharmacy and the panic about potassium iodide has been something to see. A lot of magical thinking that KI will protect you from "radiation". Not exactly. By pretty well saturating your thyroid with non-radioactive iodine, it'll keep your thyroid from concentrating the radioiodine you swallow, breathe in or absorb through your skin. That'll lower your risk of developing thyroid cancer down the road.

    And while kelp is a reasonable dietary source of iodine, it isn't going to give you what the CDC recommends taking if you need protection from radioiodine. The maximum iodine consumption we suggest for people not instructed to take more by a doctor is 1.1 mg/d. The CDC is recommending 130 mg/d of KI (the equivalent of about 100 mg/d of iodine) for adults, less for kids. That dosing is for no more than 2 weeks. Basically, it's intended to suppress the intake of radioactive iodine until you can get out of the contaminated area.

    Since the half life of I131 is about 8 days, assuming there isn't ongoing new contamination, the 2 weeks would see your risk go down to a bit more than 1/4 of the original level. If that level is safe to live with so that you're not supposed to evacuate, the initial contamination wasn't that big to begin with.

    Then there's the part about not taking it now. About 7-8% of the population is walking around making antibodies to their thyroid glands; almost none of them know it. Iodine intake at around 5 mg/d or so is known to flare up the autoimmune process in about half of such folks. Half of the people (not identical to the half just mentioned) who have autoimmune thyroid disease go on to have damage to other endocrine organs.

    So the cost benefit goes: risk of disease and death from thyroid cancer vs risk of disease and death by increased incidence of serious autoimmune disease.

    Speaking of trusting government and experts, has anyone seen the Bloomberg piece about corruption in the Japanese nuclear industry?
