article mess

as a somebody, so am I. Sandpiper (talk) 10:50, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

I see you added a ref from tepco to the start of the artcle with regard to radiation leaked from fukushima daini. I was reading those press releases also and could not make up my mind whether they meant they had made preparations to vent gases, or they had made preparations and then done it? Do you understand them to mean they definitely did release gases (which would be radioactive) Sandpiper (talk) 22:43, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

The later press releases, or maybe even that one somewhere, deny that any release of radiation has occurred from daini. I cant remember exactly now what I thought yesterday but the whole thing is official speak and thus does not necessarily say the exact truth. No doubt there is a definition of a radiation release which ignores small amounts. It is difficult to argue radiation at daini might not be from daiichi. In any event, the specific sentence about daini has now been deleted in a rearrangement. I think the article 10 notification made at daiichi was when the reactor first became too hot and departed from normal operating parameters, something like that. Article 15 notification was when it became more serious. UK reactors vent mildly radioative gases from time to time without much fuss (that is, they dont bother mentioning it to the public). Tends to be more fuss when people find out. The impression now being made on wiki is that there was not much of a problem at daini, see its article. It would not amaze me if it is now closed down for quite a long time for examination and repairs, but it would also not amaze me if it is rushed back into operation in a month because of power shortages. I dont know what really happened there. I have not seen any official statement about flooding at daiichi, but this is blamed for the failures, so I have even less idea if flooding caused problems at daini.

1150 ?

I take the liberty to ask you whence you found the number "1150" in this edit.

As far as I understand watching at this source : [1] (as translated by some editor on the TAlk Page, I don't speak Japanese), the capacity of pool 4 is 1590, and the pool presently contains 1331 rods of used fuel, and 204 of fresh fuel, which is a bit more than the 1500 that I had copied from this source : [2] where it is given with a footnote stating "We have revaluated upwards the number of rods in this pool following a communication from IAIA".

So as you can see, I am far from sure for my data but thought it was better to check whether you are for your "1150" since nothing approaching is to be found on either of these documents. French Tourist (talk) 23:07, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

Asiana Airlines Flight 214

Hey Henk. Thanks for pitching in with the article, but please don't use sources like Twitter. They are far from always reliable. For instance, one Twitter eyewitness said things like the plane had flipped over, when it clearly did not. Steven Walling • talk 20:22, 6 July 2013 (UTC)
