Aren’t there biblical predictions about everything in the sea dying off. Hope this isn’t the start when Fukishima slips into the ocean.

Don’t give Brown ideas. Presently it is in the works to raise gasoline by 80 cents a gallon in California, and add $65 additional to the already high rate to register your cars each year. (We have to pay every second year to have our cars pass the smog test.) Boo and hiss, Brown. He’s not working out.

Funny you should say that. The Japanese already take a Geiger counter to the fish market to check out fish before they purchase it. Probably only in the environs of Fukishima maybe.

What is a “sieverts”?
In my day it was RAD and REM!

Sieverts and Grays are SI units.

One Sievert is 100 Rem. One Gray is 100 Rad.

We still talk rad/rem in the US Navy.

Cold Heart :" If I recall, they have already burned up some robots."

I believe that is correct.
The new information is that the degree of radiation leakage is significantly larger than what they imagined. Furthermore, according to the new information, the proposed route that they had planned on using to get the robots in position, will have to be re-routed,
since it appears that the grating has melted away due to fuel debris.
Quote:" If the deposits are confirmed as fuel debris, it would be the first time the utility has found any at the three units that suffered meltdowns "

Yeah, I had heard that some Japanese around Fukushima have taken geiger counters to market with themselves to choose which fish and vegetable products to buy.
With elevated background radiation readings taken by "preppers" in the NorthWest, it might not seem like a bad idea, especially if the reactor cannot be controlled until 2030.
I suspect a good gieger counter would be a good investment now, especially before any further information is released to the general public.
There is just so much information, political happenings, and social unrest in the news today that much general and health information gets missed.

Nuclear is very safe. Just locate the nuclear core where liberals are in LA & NY cities. EO coming.

Actually, a geiger counter, check your food & fish, you will survive ok.

LNG is safer to handle than uranium even when spilled

"Safer" is, after all, a relative term!

How does radiation destroy the robot?

Interferes with the solid state electronics in the robot.

"...cycles per second ‘hertz’ after the rental car agency."

If it's "per second" shouldn't they be called Avis?

In Lost in Space, it made the Robot huge, and when it started to shrink back, they had to scramble to get out before they all got squashed.

Good point. Start a Change dot org petition, and I might sign it.

So build one with tubes. Or 'valves' as the foreigners say.
