@praguepainter … represents a subset of the material available for dispersal due to cracked containment chambers from the cores themselves. – 03:24 PM GMT
@praguepainter Counterpunch asserts that all three units have melted down. My understanding is that only unit 1 and 2 are in meltdown. – 03:30 PM GMT
@praguepainter Unit 3 is the one with the mixed experimental fuel and of even greater concern should it be in meltdown. – 03:31 PM GMT
@praguepainter so, while I do think that TEPCO is unlikely to be able to effectively resolve the situation or to communicate honestly – 03:32 PM GMT
@praguepainter and therefore an international response may be valuable in developing a more effective resolution to the failures – 03:32 PM GMT
@praguepainter the threat to the environment from the broken plants is likely to remain quite localized. You and I: not directly affected. – 03:34 PM GMT
@praguepainter Does it affect Japan and Sendai province? Hell yes. Does it affect Japanese fisheries? Hell yes. Are TEPCO crooks? Hell yes. – 03:36 PM GMT
@praguepainter Is it likely that Japanese government and corporate culture will have a hard time fixing the problem? Hell yes. – 03:37 PM GMT

@praguepainter we located a bunch of primary source material and got all educated up on the plants. It was scary, scary shit. – 05:31 PM GMT
@praguepainter but then there were no uncontrolled fires and the fuel pools were kept wet, barely. so then we started looking at dispersal. – 05:31 PM GMT

@praguepainter GE: gereports.com/the-mark-i-con… – 06:02 PM GMT
@praguepainter the cooling ponds on the upper floors were the primary area of concern for uncontrolled reaction – 06:02 PM GMT
@praguepainter because as the water boiled off, there was a possibility of an uncontained, uncontrolled reaction – 06:03 PM GMT
@praguepainter the cooling ponds underwent repeated storage-pattern reconfiguration to increase the amount of spent fuel kept in them – 06:04 PM GMT
@praguepainter which reduced the space between the spent fuel units and reduced the amount of water available to dampen reactivity & temp – 06:05 PM GMT
@praguepainter so the amount of possible fuel in the pools exceeded the amount in the reactors. The pools still have the spent fuel in them. – 06:07 PM GMT
@praguepainter not sure if they are still open to the air. possibly. but at least they are keeping water on them. – 06:07 PM GMT
@praguepainter I believe so, at least in the case of the cooling pools. Just look at the buildings, the damage would affect the stored fuel. – 06:11 PM GMT

@praguepainter so while they recognized it as a danger they dismissed how difficult it would be to get water in place – 06:13 PM GMT
@praguepainter in 2003, the possibility was considered as a TERRAH vector: belfercenter.hks.harvard.edu/publication/36… – 06:14 PM GMT

@johnpstrohm true! & volunteer exploitation of fans for gate work or envelope stuffing, less longterm payback. not slavery. – 04:09 AM GMT
@johnpstrohm sure, I get that. demand drives pricing. Pay to work is pay to play, though, I think, and reduces access to who can afford. – 04:10 AM GMT
@johnpstrohm and that reduces/restricts pool to kids of folks with money. Not desirable for society in long term. In my opinion. – 04:12 AM GMT
@johnpstrohm That said, I’ve run (paid) internships. If you actually follow labor law, they are awesome. Loved working with the students. – 04:13 AM GMT

I was moving empty cardboard boxes around an empty field with an old friend, Dan Willems and some other people whom I did not know, when these oddly stylized creatures began running past us at the top of the field, right to left.

The creatures appeared to be something like a surrealist animator’s version of a fox, tail flying straight out behind and body and head roughly the same cylindrical shape and diameter as the tail. They were somewhat like stoles and somewhat like pencils or pipecleaners but larger, more like a midsize dog. They were mostly white but pied, with black muzzles and patches of red, brown, gold, peach and black.

Someone asked what the creatures were, and Dan explained that they were the souls of the dead, because the neighboring field was in the land of death. We all went to look over the hedgerow into the neighboring field and someone’s dog noticed one of the stole creatures running over into the field.
There was some consternation but the dog, a big black mixed lab,was playfully running around the field and returned when called.

“Hey,” I told Dan. “I bet Rocket’s over there.” I went up to the gap in the hedge that allowed access and stepped across. As I moved down the field, I heard the fading calls of the people I had been working with, but did not take any meaning from them.

At the bottom of the field there were three dogs, lying on their sides in the grass, backs toward the top of the field, still but breathing, moving their ears. At rest.

As I approached, I could see that the middle one was Rocket. He put his head up when I called him as I approached. He did not get up, or wag his tail in greeting. I put my hand out for him to sniff. Cautiously, he did so.

He reacted with supernatural alarm, leaping high and twisting back and away to land in a seated position several feet away from where he had been and away from the other dogs and where I was. As he did so his black saddle coat changed, flashing in the late afternoon sun, to a shiny labrador red.

I approached him again as he looked at me warily, and once again as I extended my hand to him he shied back. I called to him and held out my hand but he would not come.
Feeling terribly sad, I realized I shouldn’t push it further and said “You don’t want to,” whereupon Viv shook me more awake and told me I was talking in my sleep. I was able to tell her the entire dream, and did so in slightly less detail than I have just written it.
