This is some very welcome news in developments at Fukushima as the foundations of Unit 3 are damaged. Workers at Fukushima have already removed 1000 fuel rods IIRC from that reactor building due to concerns about what would happen if the building collapsed.

To get a better understanding of why its an urgent issue, a report called Nuclear Power Plant Security and Vulnerabilities explored vulnerabilities at nuclear power plants.

From that report the issue of spent fuel pool vulnerabilities warranted further study in the now declassified report Safety and Security of Commercial Spent Nuclear Fuel Storage: Public Report by the Committee on the Safety and Security of Commercial Spent Nuclear Fuel Storage within the National Research Council. It details variations of scenarios created from vulnerabilities to terrorist attacks, however the potential outcomes are similar if they are initiated by a natural disaster.

The most sobering scenarios came from analyzing what happens from loosing the cooling water from a spent fuel pool. Spent fuel rods are kept in a pool with a constant supply of water because the water not only cools them, it moderates the neutrons so that they don't become critical. One scenario examined from loosing the cooling water was a plutonium fire that creates plutonium oxide in the smoke with reactors that are MOX fueled, such as Unit 3 was. With several hundred tons of fuel it would be the largest plutonium fire we have ever faced, it would also be in open air.

You can find information about plutonium oxidization Evaluation of source-term data for plutonium aerosolization which starts at around 500 centigrade. I think that because of the proximity to the sea, plutonium chloride would also be created.

Actions to reduce the possibility of these kinds of scenarios are simple and cost effective. Mainly by dry cask storing fuel that has cooled for 5 years and separating and dispersing spent fuel recently removed from the reactor throughout the pools of reactors that are still operating. All very practical, affordable actions for reducing this risk of reactors that are still operating.

Information about the fuel removal process and the damage to the Unit 3 spent fuel pool in Tepco's Fukushima spent fuel removal plan.

There is very little point arguing about Nuclear power from an idealistic viewpoint. To idealize that nuclear power is perfect and requires no improvements means that the nuclear industry cannot evolve legal requirements for new processes. This, according to the official report into the Fukushima accident, is the main reason the disaster occurred.

So this is a great time to commend the workers and engineers at the Fukushima plant and express gratitude for their efforts to get this disaster under control. Thank you!!!!

Just curious - is that true ? a) escape velocity b) sizable rocks not just vaporized rocks c) not so hot of an impact to annihilate any actual life on said rocks?

Yes, for a sufficiently large impact, such as Chicxulub.
  It is also a very serious idea that life did not originate on earth, but started from meteorites containing simple organisms like the above.
Not "on said rocks", but deep inside them, in order to survive radiation on the long cold journey.
It would explain why the first life appeared so early in Earth's history.

Actually, no, "Google Authenticator" is just an app which implements the OATH TOTP protocol (a.k.a. RFC 6238). There are several other implementations out there, and they're pretty much all compatible.

It's possible (although I don't know if Google's app does so) for the generator application to be a purely offline app with no external access whatsoever.

It functions essentially like one of the old RSA SecurID tokens - an offline token generating 6 or 8 digit time-based id numbers.

So cheating tens of millions of Americans in a primary is only a minor infrastructure, like a kid shoplifting, basically American democracy is who gives a fuck.

One and only one reason why they would choose to interpret a blanket ban on prosecution a whole lot of corrupt people were involved in baking the last elections, the Republicans and the Democrats straight up working together to keep the Libertarians and the Greens out and then numbers way, way down.

You know what, a trespasser will be prosecuted sign over a tiny fence or how about this https://www.google.com.au/maps... , complete insecure, no gate, yet claims of being able to prosecute with just a sign providing security.

You may have noticed all the bickering about even letting the Federal government meddle in this process at all. The American elections are complicated because America is such a ridiculously large and diverse place.

Large? Please.
Diverse? "According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the U.S. is currently roughly 17 percent Hispanic, 13 percent African-American, and 5 percent Asian, and almost 78 percent white.Aug 22, 2014" huh, that NBC of yours must be using imperial maths.
According to the Australian 2011 census, 26% of the population were born overseas, with a further 20% having at least one parent born overseas.

Voting is performed at local schools at similar public spaces, with electorates managed so there's not too many voters per electorate. There's no reason why this would not scale relatively easily....unless you are closing all your public spaces down, or restricting where people can vote so that the time to count takes longer?

I can understand delays due to time zones though - Alaska and Hawaii put you off a bit there, then you have those scattered islands and whatnot.

Actually, now that you mention it, there has been a lot of publicity over crime by large gatherings of South Sudanese refugee youths.

A boring few minutes in google maps shows many stretches of the 101 with a lane on the right hand side separated from the main carriageway by a thick white line and a total absence of vehicles in it. Presumably they put that in because they had some spare asphalt, as opposed to maybe expecting people to stop in it if necessary.

What I meant was use a 2.5mm connector and people get their own 2.5mm to 3.5mm adaptor cheaply.

2.5mm has no patents/royalties to worry about and is commonly used for corded headsets and analogue video adaptors

There is no 3mm connector.

One way or another phone manufacturers are obsessed with making phones thinner, hence the compromise idea.

Nuclear energy did not kill any of those children.

Yes it did. Depleted Uranium is a by product of the Uranium enrichment process. There is more of that than fuel. If it was unused and stored you maybe able to claim morality however a scenario mimicking Agent Orange is not Atoms For Peace, it's sub-critical nuclear warfare using Nuclear Industry fuel by-products.

The very fact that these weapons are fired with a Nuclear Industry fuel by-product, Depleated Uranium, as ordinance for a strategic advantage, cannot be denied.

The Nuclear Industry doesn't condemn the use of DU, it's an expense they don't have to sustain to store it. It's a revenue source.

The fact that you have to blame me for those deaths in order to retake the moral high ground demonstrates your cognitive dissonance.

I don't have to re-take anything, the facts stand despite your ignorance of them. It is FACT that DU is used as a munition as a primary weapon. It is known to cause mutagenic effects when it is ingested, it's toxic. Not only is it an emitter, it's spontaneous criticality creates bursts of alpha (and gamma IIRC) radiation 10-20 times higher than its normal decay. Once it's in the environment it can't be removed. DU ash from the 3000C pyrophoric flames it produces when fired is a durable microscopic ceramic oxide and can be ingested by humans and animals as an inhalant and in water to create those mutated babies whose image glue so easily into your mind.

It is immoral to use this as a munition because of the undeniable effect it has on pregnancies and children. The secondary effects destroys entire generations more completely than landmines ever could as a consequence. How would you like an aerosol of ceramic DU dust spread around your house, your town, your city, your crops, your water and your air?

I've excoriated you however I've also given you the benefit of the doubt whilst you were ignorant of the facts. They illustrate you have no claim to any morality whilst a Nuclear industry by-product, Depleted Uranium, is used as a munition and causes horrendous birth defects when ingested.. It's completely indefensible to use this material and it is undeniably connected to the the fuel used in nuclear reactors.One tenth of the ore is fuel for the reactor. The main use of what's left over is as a munition, for which it *is* used. You say it's immoral to oppose this. If you really think that, you have a serious problem.

Let me get this straight. I am an evil mentally-ill baby-killer communist? Because I think nuclear power is the only viable path forward on climate change(a stance a super majority of scientists share)?

What does climate change matter if we mutilate our own DNA permanently? I'm not saying we should'nt effect rapid action on resolving the carbon legacy we been given (clean up all the externalities), but not at the expense of genetically damaging the entire human race by spreading radioactive isotopes that destroy our DNA. You're basically saying we're too stupid to fix the problems we were handed from the industrial age and that we should hand a radio isotope legacy down to the next generation that can wipe humanity out within a few generations. You're so blinded by your ideology that you can not or will not examine the facts.

It would make you worse than a mentally-ill baby killing communist to possess that knowledge now and still say it's ok. The choice to do so would make you a psychopath as well because your idealism has been confronted and you won't even acknowledge the effect on the human race regardless of race or politics and you're trying to justify distributing doses of birth defects with rhetoric. Most sane people wouldn't try to justify something so he

The analysis revealed that in the study group, the number of follicles was lower than that in the control group. The decreased number of follicles in pups exposed to mobile phone microwaves suggest that intrauterine exposure has toxic effects on ovaries.

Your Nuclear ideology is immoral.

vaccines may ... go back to start the autism before they are administered.

Physicists have actually demonstrated this sort of thing is possible, using quantum entanglement contrary to common sense.

You can actually have the past depend on the present, but the catch is that it cannot be used to transmit information back in time. Causality is not violated so long as the effects are not observed until after the cause.

This is important: the very act of detecting autism with the MRI will break the quantum entanglement and stop the vaccine from causing autism.
This may be a cure!

From the article "the company said that the total distance covered by its 96,000 trucks was reduced by 747,000km, and 190,000 litres of fuel had been saved." this makes no sense what so ever.

I mean I don't like banks but I'd assume this is Apples doing? They must be pushing for something ridiculous in some way, because Android Pay appears to use the standard Pay-Wave technology of normal cards.
I'm normally very much a luddite on this stuff but I thought I'd give it a shot and I hate to admit, it's genuinely better than cash, purely from a "wow, it's even quicker than cash" perspective.
(I've *always* hated cards normally, because I'm stuck behind idiots taking forever with PIN# business or swiping a different card, etc)

None the less it's literally faster than cash, it's a very very fast transaction and (to my knowledge) any place with Pay-Wave (very common) works fine.
I believe Pay-Wave is just our contactless card thing, you guys might call it something else.
