Please double-check w/Dave and Holly, since my coffee hasn't kicked in, but here goes -- isn't theresome QA language to the effect of "listen to your state and local authorities, they'll be the best sourceof information on actions appropriate to your area" we can use?

Dear Mr. Samani:

We understand that the crisis in Japan is upsetting a lot of people. Let me assure you that the NRCcontinues to monitor information regarding wind patterns near the Japanese nuclear power plants.Given the distance between Japan and Hawaii, Alaska, the U.S. Territories and the U.S. West Coast, weare not expected to experience any harmful levels of radioactivity.

The NRC understands that EPA is utilizing its existing nationwide radiation monitoring system, RadNet,to monitor continuously the nation's air, etc.. _and has publicly stated its agreement with the NRC'sassessment that we do not expect to see radiation at harmful levels reaching the U.S.

I am sorry that I don't have a more specific response to your question, but we are mainly trying to

assure people that they don't need to worry about harmful radiation in the U.S.

Thank you,

Amy

Hello Mr. Appel:

We understand that the crisis in Japan is upsetting a lot of people.

At this time, the NRC does not believe protective measures are necessary in the U.S. In the eventcircumstances change, U.S. residents should listen to the protective action decision of their states andcounties. The NRC will provide technical assistance to the states should they request it.

Let me assure you that the NRC continues to monitor information regarding wind patterns near theJapanese nuclear power plants. Given the distance between Japan and Hawaii, Alaska, the U.S.Territories and the U.S. West Coast, we are not expected to experience any harmful levels ofradioactivity.

The NRC understands that EPA is utilizing its existing nationwide radiation monitoring system, RadNet,to monitor continuously the nation's air, etc.. .and has publicly stated its agreement with the NRC'sassessment that we do not expect to see radiation at harmful levels reaching the U.S.

I would like to understand the basis for the "50 miles sheltering zone" recommendation of the NRC around Fukushima.Is it the nuclear explosion of the 9 source terms on site?Is it the nuclear explosion of one 850 MW reactor?Something else?

To my knowledge, the attachment 11-050 gives NO scientific/technical basic assumptions for its computerizedcalculations.Thanks for your response.Catherine GAUJACQ

From: (b)(6)Sent: Friday, March 18, 2011 3:14 PMTo: OPA ResourceSubject: Potential Safety Concept to Avoid Pump Failure and Meltdown

Dear Sir or Madam,

Briefly described below is a safety idea that I published in this morning's San Jose Mercury News.http://www.mercuy, news.corn/letters ) The letter:

Several Japanese reactors are overheating to catastrophic failure. The problem, lack of

cooling water from power grid interruption, seems to have been solved. How? Diesel

generators automatically kick in to maintain power to the pumps. But severe flooding could

also disable the diesel generators. And that is exactly what happened.

Here is an idea that seems overly simple: Why not build a few mobile generators on tractor

trailers, kept in key locations, that could be moved within a few hours to a compromised

reactor? With a special quick connection system, power to the pumps could be restored in

time to prevent meltdown.

It is apparently too late for the Japanese reactors to be saved. Perhaps we should begin building

mobile generators now.

This idea, properly executed, could have mitigated the nuclear disaster in Japan, and should be seriously consideredfor areas having nuclear reactors and potential threat from the environment. Given that such threat now extends toterrorism, perhaps mobile power back-up should be available to all sites. The cost of failure is immense. In thatcontext, the relative low cost of such a mobile safety system would seem to make it a must-do.

Please give me some feedback.

Thanks for your consideration.

Hello,

My name is Ali TalabI am a Realtor from San Jose, Ca.But, i also have completed a Master degree in Fuel Technology from Middlesex Universityfrom London.

The Solution to cooling off the reactors is very simple.The atmospheric temperature water does not have the ability to cool off the reactors as therate of heating are far greater than rate of cooling.

Re~ardine Janan Reactor Melt down

Please add crushed ice by Helicopter directly on top of the reactors.

Why crushed ice?A..A.t will not cause any structural damage upon landing.B...It will nicely land in every hole around the reactor.

Why Helicopter?It can hover on top of the reactor and drop its cargo with lot of accuracy.May be some personnel from ground can direct the helicopter pilot to achieve that deliveryaccuracy.

Put the army to work.Put 50 -100 helicopter to work round the clock.You have attack the heat, not just treat it with kindness.

Mr. AIston,

Thank you for expressing your concern. The Japanese are currently using mobilegenerators at the Fukushima plant. It has taken a certain amount of time for the Japanesegovernment to request assistance in obtaining and installing the mobile units, but thoseunits have been a consideration.

In the United States, all plants except for Oconee have both diesel and battery backupsystems. Most of the U.S. plants with diesels have two diesels per unit, and those thathave only one dedicated diesel have a swing diesel available as well. Most sites plan torun the diesels for multiple days and have battery backup capability for eight hours. Therecovery strategy for each site is based on providing sufficient capacity to assure that thecore is cooled and containment integrity and other vital functions are maintained in theevent of possible accidents.

I understand your concern regarding mobile generators, and I can assure you that wehave some of the best minds in the world working on both this situation in Japan, and onkeeping our reactors at home safe.

I hope this answers your question.

Thank you,Holly

Hi,

Another concern is if they get power back with the 1kkm "extension cord," in my wildest dreams I couldnot imagine risking turning it on in that damaged area. Why?

1. Risk of fire from exposing wiring, etc.

2. Risk of water going where it should not, causing a superheated explosion[s] in unpredictable places,with the outcome almost certainly worse than it is now.

3. Chances of it working in the damaged facility "well enough" to actually work, assuming 1 or 2 abovedon't come into play (my money is on 1 or 2)... are remote.

Bury that thing with every bulldozer, truck, crane, and steam shovel to build a berm around the facility,then fill inside and bury the facility DREDGES, helicopters, and anything else that can safely get closeenough to fill inside the berm.

Sincerely,

IN

I am greatly concerned that the problem in Japan could continue to escalate unlessthey give up on trying to save the reactors and start trying to save the people.Spraying water or even pumping in water most likely will not help at thesetemperatures because the water will just flash to steam and flow back out withoutproviding significant cooling.

What they need to do, in my opinion is pump in liquid concrete, as used inconstruction - there should be trucks available in Tokyo to do this and constructioncompanies with the know how. The concrete aggregate should contain if possiblechunks of lead and a barium compound or other reaction-killing compound. Pump asmuch as possible into both the reactors and the holding pools. This, of course willpermanently kill the reactors but they are probably destroyed anyway because of theseawater.

Please consider this suggestion and if it has merit, please transmit to your colleaguesin Japan. I am retired 8 years and no longer have contacts in Japan.

Notice that NONE of those reactors would have blown their tops if they had dumped enough commonlead and NiCad batteries or better into those in time. NONE.

I heard that there are at least 42 Mark I reactors in America, I think all of them should be checked tosee if their containment pressure release valves are safe for high oxygen atmospheres, with no greaseor oil in their mechanism or even valve stem, that can incinerate. See Below. Hydrogen is harmlessenough to fly Zeppelins for the millions of hours that they did. The only reasons these are exploding isbecause of the high oxygen levels. Match lighting hydrogen filled balloons is a common classroomphysics demonstration of a weak explosion. Note that the exclusively hydrogen filled Zeppelin didn'texplode, it just burned.

All of the world's reactors (yours too, and you should raise your tusnami fence and place surgediffusers underwater to divert the direct shocks, if not the surge, a 45' angle is the same as makingthat wall 1.4 times thicker) should have supplemental reaction quenchers added, with quenchingagents that won't evaporate, like the high rise buildings have water tanks on their roofs for fire fighting,so that it can be gravity fed when all power fails. Else, shut them down. My home-built Geiger counteris already ticking maybe 50% faster. Once every 3-4 seconds average. Some early reactors usedliquid fluoride salts for coolants, "The ARE went critical for the first time on November 3, 1954using a mixture of sodium fluoride, zirconium fluoride, and uranium tetrafluoride. Itoperated for a total of 100 hours at a maximum temperature of 1600°F " and the zirconiumsalt probably implies compatibility with the zirconium reactor rods' ceramics, maybe it willplate out on the rods making them stronger, unless it is a solvent for them, but even then, itwill still precipitate if it surpasses saturation, and precipitate where concentration would behighest, such as on the hottest surfaces of the rods.... But if it is, maybe it is a solvent for theuranium, meaning the uranium tetrafluoride could be pumped out, anyway, probably notprofitable to make reactors that can be made that inexpensively,httD://enerL-vfromthloriun.coin/2006/04/22/a-bbrief-historv-of-the-licuid-fluotide-reactor/ ,"3...,

Half retraction for Salt encrustacion. /)fr~

That particular salt that dominates sea water is sodium chloride which will break down into sodium andchlorine, both exothermically incendiary, sodium especially in contact with water.However, if the salt is a cadmium salt, it might precipitate metallically on the zirconium or salt crustoverlay, and prevent it's burning, and be structural enough if eventually thick enough to hold up thepellets in the stack.

Maybe a clay can be included in the water, that will also precipitate on the hottest surfaces first, unlessit's coefficients of expansion are so different that it slakes off, but the cadmium will cut down thereaction chain efficiency better than anything else, but a clay that will increase standup strength,without decreasing cooling, not an asbestos. You are going to have to use robots with chiselsanyway, to relocate all that material someday, might as well make it as safe as possible to workaround. I did radiation total dose testing for Strategic Defense Initiative CMOS circuits, prooftesting the Rad Hard designs at a local research reactor, back in the early 90s, and even was shownthat I could handle reactor rods with mere gloved hands safely (new ones) and the rad badge didn'tbudge. Circuits are available now that can enable robots to function in higher radioactivity to preventthe need to Chernobly encrypt it there. If we can move the London Bridge, we can move all that stuffand re-refine it or, re-dilute it safely.

I think a robot should place a lot of perforated cadmium tubing over those plutonium mox rods, manytubes, coaxially concentric, perforated to allow steam cooling, with the holes oriented so that there areno straight lines of sight for radioactivity. Once those are covered, the rest should also be done, mostunspent rods first.Or, better, those rods should be pulled, and relocated on some unsinkable barge(s) until bestdispositions resolve. New reactors should be designed for robot access, and old reactors should beretrofitted for robot management. Put some aquariums on wheels in there, and put maybe 4 rods ineach and then pull them out of the building, starting with rods that are spaced closest to each other.Japan has a lot of man-like robots, but I doubt they've been built with the rad-hard circuits mycompany invented.

Silicon clays from sand risk breakdown into Silane, which is extremely flammable.However, silicon carbide isn't, and silicon nitride probably isn't, but any nitrogen it releases might be.

2) Also, you are forming a supersonic hydrogen combustor at the same time you open the pressurerelease valves, you can probably find a better, more relevant reference, but I found this one in just afew seconds. When you release pressures that high, you can probably burn air into Nox.httpb:lldeebleibe.umich,,edu/bitstream/2027.42,(L7__11/1/AIAA-24093-582.pdf

The Insanity of Zirconium in a Nuclear Power PlantSubmitted by BuzzFlash on Wed, 03/16/2011 - 10:21pm.. Guest CommentaryKARL GROSSMAN FOR BUZZFLASH AT TRUTHOUTThe explosion at the Fukushima nuclear power plant is being described as caused by a "hydrogenbuild-up" The situation harks back to the "hydrogen bubble" that was feared would explode when theThree Mile Island plant in 1979 underwent a partial meltdown. The hydrogen explosion problem atnuclear power plants involves a story as crazy as can be. As nuts as using nuclear fission to boil waterto generate electricity is, the hydrogen problem and its cause cap the lunacy. Eruption of hydrogen gasas a first reaction in a loss-of-coolant accident has been discussed with great worry in U.S.government and nuclear industry literature for decades.

That is because a highly volatile substance called zirconium was chosen back in the1940's and 50's, when plans were first developed to build nuclear power plants, as the material to beused to make the rods into which radioactive fuel would be loaded. There are 30,000 to 40,000 rods-composed of twenty tons of zirconium in an average nuclear power plant. Many other substances weretried, particularly stainless steel, but only zirconium worked well. That's because zirconium, it wasfound, allows neutrons from the fuel pellets in the rods to pass freely between the rods and thus anuclear chain reaction to be sustained.But there's a huge problem with zirconium - it is highly volatile and when hot willexplode spontaneously upon contact with air, water or steam. The oniy othermaior commercial use of zirconium through the years has been in flashbulbsused in photography. A speck of it, on a flashbulb, ignites to provide a flash ofligL.But in a nuclear plant, we're not talking about specks, but tons and tons of zirconium, put together as acompound called "zircaloy" that clads tens of thousands of fuel rods. Heat - a great deal of heat - buildsup in a very short time with any interruption of coolant flow in a nuclear power plant. This was theproblem at Fukushima after the earthquake that struck Japan. Zirconium, with the explosive power,pound for pound, of nitroglycerine, will catch fire and explode at a temperature of 2,000 degreesFahrenheit, well below the 5,000 degree temperature of a meltdown. Before then, however, zirconiumreacts to the heat by drawing oxygen from water and steam and letting off hydrogen, which itself canexplode and is said to have done so at Fukushima. As a result of such a hydrogen explosion, there isadditional heat, bringing the zirconium itself closer and closer to its explosive level.Whether in additionto being a hydrogen explosion, zirconium also exploded at Fukushima remains to be known.But what has happened regarding hydrogen at Fukushima, like the "hydrogen bubble" when the ThreeMile Island plant in Pennsylvania underwent its near partial meltdown, is no mystery,, but precisely whatis expected in a loss-of-coolant accident.

It is described in U.S. government and nuclear industry accident studies as a "metal-water" reaction.It's a reaction, the research has long stated, that can easily trigger a meltdown. Using tons of amaterial otherwise used as the speck that explodes in a flashbulb in nuclear power plants is absolutelycrazy.Moreover, in the spent fuel pools usually situated next to nuclear power plants, there are large numbersof additional fuel rods, used ones, disposed of as waste. There must be constant water circulation inthe spent fuel pools. In what is labeled a "loss-of-water' accident in a spent fuel pool, the zirconiumcladding of the fuel rods is projected as exploding, sending into the environment the lethal nuclearpoisons in a spent fuel pool.

Karl Grossman, professor of journalism at the State University of New York/College at Old Westbury,has long specialized in doing investigative reporting on nuclear technology. He is the author of CoverUp: What You Are Not Supposed to Know AboutNuclear Power. He is the host of the nationally aired TV program, Enviro Close-Up (envirovideo.com).

NUCLEAR POWER ISN'T THE PROBLEMSubmitted by Skinny Dog on Wed, 03/16/2011 - 11:57pm.Nuclear power isn't the problem. The problem is the reactors we've been using to make it.Karl is absolutely right - using zirconium in a reactor is insane. So is using water. And so is usingUranium.LFTRs (Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactors) have none of the problems Uranium reactors have. If thereactors in Japan were LFTRs, none of this would be happening. NONE of it. At all. See this article:htt:l//www.wired.com/maoazine/2009/12/ff new nukes/

YOKOSUKA, Japan - The U.S. Navy has provided five high-capacity pumping systems to Japan'sElectrical and Mechanical Engineering Group Nuclear Asset Management Department to assist in theeffort to cool the core of the damaged No. 3 reactor at the Fukushima Dai-lchi nuclear power plant.

The five pumps came from the U.S. Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) Emergency ShipSalvage Material (ESSM) locker located in Sasebo, Japan.

The pumps were picked up from the Air Mobility Command (AMC) terminal at Fukuoka InternationalAirport on Wednesday evening and flown via U.S. Air Force C-17 to Yokota Air Base. One. U.S.Salvage Engineer and one Navy Master Diver from the CTF-73 staff in Singapore accompanied thepumps to Yokota where they met up with Japanese Civil Defense personnel to provide training on theequipment. The pumps will then be transported by the Japanese to. the reactor site sometimeThursday.

The two U.S. salvage experts from Singapore will not travel to Fukushima to assist in the effort.

According to the ESSM website, www.supsal.or, the ESSM system is a series of facilities locatedwithin the continental United States and at other sites around the world "that provide ship salvage,pollution control, and underwater ship husbandry equipment on an emergency or as required basis."

The U.S. Navy continues missions in support of Operation Tomodachi in response to the 9.0-magnitude earthquake and subsequent tsunamis that. hit northern Japan March 11.

First of all, thanks to all involved. This may not be feasible, but it seems like a discussionshould be in place and probably already is, however I would like to keep this project movingforward until it is ruled out as an option. Time, of course, is a main reason to quickly movethis forward if doable. The emergency at the reactor is a task saturated, time compressed,situation / emergency management environment where I feel simple ideas may be missed bythe authorities in charge, based on no fault of their own.

I think there are some feasible water supply evolutions that could help with the reactoremergencies in Japan. This is especially true if the situation may last weeks in the initialresponse phase. I strongly believe that big water supply assets and Tokyo's nine fire-boats,using the proper hose, could supply the needed water to the site, depending on the radiationissues, of course. This was basically done in the Marina District of San Francisco after theLoma Prieta earthquake in 1989.

I have been talking with several fire service experts regarding emergency water supply thatshould be useful in Japan's Nuclear crisis. Please take a look at the following ideas regardingwater supply at the site. Tokyo fire has nine fire boats that could be used in the bay andpump water directly through hoses to the necessary areas.

Dear Mr. Night,Thank you for your inquiry. Some of the reactors that you are referring to may currently beoffline (not generating power) due to refueling. Every 12-18 months, a reactor has amonth-long period in which some new fuel is inserted. Other reactors have been shutdown permanently, often due to local politics. Power rates can fluctuate at a reactor unitand may cause the cause the capacity factor to be less than 100%.

Dear Mr. Powell,Thank you for your inquiry. All of the information available continues to indicate that no harmful levelof radiation will reach the United States (including Alaska, Hawaii and the west coast).

In general, metal slows down/stops alpha and beta radiation particles and thus may offer some level ofprotection from those two types of particles (lead is the best at doing so). More information concerningradiation can be found on our website www.nrc.gov.

I hope that answered your question.-Jenny

Dear Mr. Hansen,Thank you for your inquiry. I understand your concern about the San Onofre plant. At this time, ouragency is focused on assisting our counterparts in Japan. We intend to use the information gained fromthis emergency to better risk-inform our licensing decisions related to plants that have a potential to beaffected.

However, I can assure you that before a reactor begins operation, extensive safety and security reviewsare completed by our agency. Additionally, the NRC completes an environmental assessment ofpotential impacts. Within the last few years, the NRC have worked bilaterally with the Japanese tounderstand the potential design modifications for seismic activity and other natural disasters. Since thattime, the NRC has worked with our licensees (the plant operators) to provide some back-fit measures toenhance the physical infrastructure. I hope that answers your question.

comments: To NRC Public Affairs:

On April 16, 1976, the NRC issued Construction Permits CPPR-139 and CPPR-140 to the St. Louis-based Union Electric Co., for Callaway Power Plants 1 and 2 in Callaway County, Missouri.

As you may know, for business and political reasons, UE only built Callaway I, which beganoperating in the early 1980s.

Now, UE's successor corporation, Ameren Missouri, is talking about asking the NRC for an EarlySite Permit for a second reactor at the same location (the site originally was planned for four (4) totalreactors).

My newspaper, the Jefferson City (MO) News Tribune, wants to look at the site permit (orwhatever it was called in the 1970s and 80s) that was approved for Callaway I -- -- but I'm havingtrouble finding it on your ADAM website, because I'm not certain what to ask ADAM for ..

Can you please help me know what document I'm trying to find? (I've also asked Ameren, butthey say it may take awhile to find it in their files).

Thank You for your assistance.

Hi,

Best to all and thanks for everyone's efforts.

It seems to me getting any available dredge to the area will provide the following benefits:

1. They can by far, and most efficiently, pump the MOST sand & seawater once the pipes arepositioned.

2. They can be manned by very few people once setup... or even remotely unless there is amalfunction requiring someone to physically fix it.

3. You can easily build a lead shield around any control areas as thick as you want so workers areprotected, EXCEPT for any time they need to go outside the control area.

4. Dredges have sufficient power, etc. so you can set up whatever elaborate air filtering system neededto protect workers 100% when inside a control center. When they have to go outside, they will befurther away than Firetrucks, etc. on the site.

5. Multiple dredges can bury that whole facility.

6. Why in the world are they putting "just water," which is so readily absorbed & transferred greatdistances by the atmosphere??? Is there that much value in the spent fuel rods they want to salvagethem? And that's why they don't start burying it now???

7. If not dredges with their amazing capacity for volume of sand/water, why not find a material thateven if burnt produces heavy particles that will not travel to Toyko & West Coast of USA?

8. In combo with #7's "heavy soot particle" idea, find a material that will also "fuse" at the anticipatedtemperatures, that while the initial volume of material may burn into smoke, as the material is addedand gets thicker the temperature will be lower to a point it does not burn, but fuses/melts into some__..

ONk

glass like substance. EXAMPLE: Crater Lake in Oregon has held water for centuries, even though it ishigher than all surrounding land, because the volcanic heat "fused" the bottom into a "glass bowl."

Let me know if this is helpful, I would love to hear back from someone and try to help further.

Sincerely, wishing all the best,

Mr. Baker,

Thank you for taking the time to get in touch with us.

The NRC does not rank nuclear power plants according to their vulnerability toearthquakes or other natural disasters. The particular article you linked doesn't seem toprovide any explanation of how it arrived at its numbers, so I'm afraid I can't offer specificcounters. I can tell you, however, that each plant is evaluated individually according to thegeology of its site, not by a "one size fits all" model, so creating rankings or comparisonsare highly misleading.

U.S. nuclear power plants are built to withstand environmental hazards, includingearthquakes. Even those plants that are located outside of areas with extensive seismicactivity are designed for safety in the event of such a natural disaster.

The NRC requires that safety-significant structures, systems, and components bedesigned to take into account the most severe natural phenomena historically reported forthe site and surrounding area. The NRC then adds a margin for error toaccount forlimitations on historical data. In other words, U.S. nuclear power plants are designed to besafe based on historical data to protect the area's maximum credible earthquake. For moreinformation on seismic issues, you can find our fact sheet here:http://www.nrc.govlreading-rm/doc-collections/fact-sheets/fs-seismic-issues.html

I hope this helps answer your question.

Thank you,Holly

Dear Scott Burnell, David McIntyre, Ivonne Couret:

Concerning the ongoing Nuclear Catastrophe in Japan,why have they not use mobile generators.These are the size of a tractor trailer, produce megawatts of electricity and should beable to power the pumps. I am surprised that the pumps can not be operated untilthey connect power from the grid.It is appalling that Nuclear facilities are required to have only 4 to 8 hours back upelectric to keep pumps and equipment operating. Seehttp://www.ucsusa.org/nuclear power/nuclear power risk/safety/senate-briefing-on-japan-nuclear-crisis.html - Link to Union of Concerned Scientists. STATEMENT OFDR. EDWIN LYMAN, SENIOR SCIENTIST, GLOBAL SECURITY PROGRAM - Seestatement 2. it says" ..... The NRC requires U.S. plants to have the capability to cc-',

., '-

with a station blackout for no more than four to eight hours. We need to re-evaluatethe adequacy of these requirements and the effectiveness of their implementation."

The back up generators on site should be on the roof or otherwise high enough sothey will be above flood waters. Also Nuclear reactor and fuel storage sites shouldhave water reservoirs that are at a higher elevation so that gravity can carry water toreactor. These should have flexible back up pipes and hoses that can be used if mainpipes are damaged.

This catastrophe shows us that all nuclear reactors and power stations are just anelectric power failure away from disaster. A strong coronial mass ejection from thesun has in the past knocked out electric grids. Such events can occurred to knockelectric supply to nuclear power and cause the same catastrophe that Japans'nuclear facilities are experiencing any where and many times over. The US hasadvised Americans in Japan to stay 50 miles from the nuclear catastrophe. Yet in theUS there is only a 10 mile zone for nuclear emergencies. Here in New York State isthe Indian Point Nuclear Power facility which sits atop the Ramapo fault line. NewYork City, Manhattan, is 30 miles away, Outer Boroughs Queens and Brooklyn 33miles. There are millions of people in between. The Human cost is unacceptable.The economic cost would devastate the US economy. This is just one of manynuclear facilities in the US that poses grave danger.

When you consider the entire process of nuclear power generation, from mining andprocessing fuel to the storage of spent fuel which must be kept cool, it is noteconomically nor environmentally practical. However, the reality of NuclearCatastrophes make nuclear power an unacceptable source of energy. Nuclearpower plants must not be built and exiting one must be decommissioned and thenuclear material must be removed from populated areas.Sincerely Joseph Lacey

Dear Mr. Kimura,

Thank you for your inquiry. Our hearts go out to your countrymen. The NRC is assistingas requested by your government. One of the big concerns, as you note, is the increasedheat levels in the spent fuel pools. I know that there are many methods underway to try tocool them down. Unfortunately, I do not have specific temperatures that I can give yousince we are not aware of that information.

I think that nuclear energy is at risk of a quick death again in the U. S. unless the NCR can convince Americans that thetype of nuclear accident that has happened in Japan cannot happen here, and mere assurances is not enough. Actualdifferences needed to be explained.

The crucial problem in Japan was not having cooling water in the reactor pools, and mere assurances about backuppower for pumips is not enough, because the plants in Japan had double power backup, but the tsumani damaged thediesel generators and took out the alternate power lines. There were apparently no maintained battery backup powersupplies or even a plan to restart the reactor operations to generate enough electricity to maintain cooling.

In Japan, the spent rods were stored on top of the buildings, which we don't do, but we share the common problem ofnot having a disposal location for such spent rods other than on site, which increases the risk when a local disasterstrikes because of their ability to catch on fire without water cooling.

They stored reserve water below the reactor pool in a torus of some kind, which made pumps the only way to deliverwater to the pools. M (b)(6) •ointed out if they had stored water above it could have been gravity fed whenpower failed, so I can only hope we have water towers to provide sufficient water pressure and supply.

On what NRC says and does rest the future of nuclear power in the United States and perhaps the world.

The NRC continues to monitor information regarding wind patterns near theJapanese nuclear power plants. Nevertheless, given the distance between theJapan and Hawaii, Alaska, the U.S. Territories and the U.S. West Coast weare not expected to experience any harmful levels of radioactivity.

The EPA is utilizing its existing nationwide radiation monitoring system,RadNet, to continuously monitor the nation's air and regularly monitordrinking water, milk, and precipitation for environmental radiation. EPAhas publicly stated its agreement with NRC's assessment that we do notexpect to see radiation at harmful levels reaching the US from damagedJapanese nuclear power plants.

http://www.c7f.navy.mil/news/201 I /03-march/040.htm

YOKOSUKA, Japan - The U.S. Navy has provided five high-capacity pumping systems to Japan'sElectrical and Mechanical Engiheering Group Nuclear Asset Management Department to assist in theeffort to cool the core of the damaged No. 3 reactor at the Fukushima Dai-lchi nuclear power plant.


The pumps were picked up from the Air Mobility Command (AMC) terminal at Fukuoka InternationalAirport on Wednesday evening and flown via U.S. Air Force C-17 to Yokota Air Base. One U.S.Salvage Engineer and one Navy Master Diver from the CTF-73 staff in Singapore accompanied thepumps to Yokota where they met up with Japanese Civil Defense personnel to provide training on theequipment. The pumps will then be transported by the Japanese to the reactor site sometimeThursday.


According to the ESSM website, www.supsal.org, the ESSM system is a series of facilities locatedwithin the continental United States and at other sites around the world "that provide ship salvage,pollution control, and underwater ship husbandry equipment on an emergency or as required basis."

The U.S. Navy continues missions in support of Operation Tomodachi in response to the 9.magnitude earthquake and subsequent tsunamis that hit northern Japan March 11.

following the stories on the plants in Japan. I do not know the extent of the damage there,but have been using the limited amount of information I can get to think of solutions. Giventhat the plants are damaged to the point where sea water is being used in the reactor systems,and the fact that the containment buildings have been breached it seems to me that one mighttry using the main turbine condenser to establish flow through the reactor. The steam valvesand feed water valves could be used to produce convection flow providing the pressure in thereactor could be reduced enough to start the process. If I could get more information of thecondition of the plant systems are I could try to come up with other solutions. One thing I amconcerned about is the use of sea water. Because the water as all the elements on earth in it,putting it into the reactors would produce a plethora of radio nuclei. These in turnwould have many different half life's possibly increasing the back ground radiation incontaminated regions for a very long time.

Myself (33years working with and studying nuclear reactor mishaps, bothaccidental & deliberate) and my sufficiently-educated peers (mostlyretired) at the INL could technically tear these statements to bits.We (INL in particular) converted the technology of the mostdestructive weapon ever known to a beneficial supply of energy andmammal health-care.

Hello Mr, Jorgensen:

I'm going to have to refer you to the State Department's email address for this one. They have aspecific email address set up for U.S. citizens in Japan and family members here in the U.S. who areconcerned for loved ones in Japan. The email address is [email protected].

The U.S. Government has recommended that people within 50 miles of the plants in Japan evacuate,but other than that, I don't have information for people in Japan and need to refer people to the StateDepartment.

In terms of accurate sources of information, you can monitor the NRC Web site. We just set up a pagefor information related to this crisis: http://www.nrc.gov/japan/japan-info.html.

I also heard from a technical staff member that he liked the NEI Web site as a source of information:http://nei.or-o/.

You may also be able to get some information from the CDC, although I suspect they will be focused onassuring people in the U.S. that they don't need to worry about harmful levels of radiation as a result ofthis accident. 1-800-CDC-INFO.

I hope this helps.

Thank you,

Amy

I am a I(b)(6 )where I accumuiatea jj years experience worKing on ano stuaying oothatomic-explosion and loss-of-coolant nuclear reactor mishaps, bothaccidental and deliberate. From my knowledge I would like to proposean out-of-the-ordinary approach to arresting the Fukushima disasterprogression; as follows:Don't try to cool with water any fuel material that has melted oroverheated enough to cause a metal-water reaction (produces hydrogenand explosions). Instead, let it; melt without encountering any water,and dig (bore) its own deep grave in the earth's crust below (fromwhere it came) via the China Syndrome. This could conceivably: reduceworker casualties, avoid risks of recriticality and hydrogenexplosions, reduce environment radioactive contamination, and allowrestoration of the power plant over the gravesite when confidence innuclear power is restored.I do not intend this to be a joke! The China Syndrome assumes thecore melts and penetrates downward through; the reactor vessel, thereactor system containment barrier, the earth's crust, the planet'score (preposterous), and the opposite earth's crust to China (morepreposterous). In the 1960's we used this notion in designing anexperimental reactor for studying loss-of-coolant mishaps with coremelting at the INL. I believe the China Syndrome has been underway atPlant #1 since last Saturday when the hydrogen explosion destroyed thereactor building. It was a clue that the reactor core had melted andfound a source of water so the metal-water reaction could produce thehydrogen needed for the explosion.

Gentlemen,

I am a general contractor with a civil engineering degree.

I find it frustrating to watch helicopters indiscriminately dump water over the reactors when most of thewater either disperses in the air or is blocked by the remaining building structure. It seems to me that amore precise method is needed to deliver materials into the spent fuel pools.

A large concrete boom pump may be able to do this. For example, the Putzmeister BSF 63Z-Meterhas a 200-foot vertical and 190-foot horizontal reach. Pictures of this pump as well as others can befound online. A camera could be mounted to the end of the boom to help the operator preciselyposition the boom and to provide much needed information as to the pools condition.

After the boom is positioned, a pipe could be connected that would bypass the pump on the boomtruck and allow another pump positioned further away from the radiation to deliver water or maybesome type of slurry into the pool.

For what it is Worth,

Ms. Crittenden,

Thank you for sharing your concerns. We have received the letters you referenced. TheNRC is always looking to improve safety and security of U.S. reactors, and we will beanalyzing the information that comes out of this incident in Japan to see if there are anylessons we can apply to our own regulations. President Obama has also directed theagency to conduct a comprehensive review of the safety of U.S. nuclear plants, and wewill be doing so.

U.S. power plants are built to withstand environmental hazards, including earthquakes.Even those plants located outside of areas with extensive seismic activity are designed forsafety in the event of a natural disaster. The NRC also requires robust safety and securitysystems at nuclear plants to combat potential terrorist threats. Facilities are required toperform in regular exercises that are designed to test the integrity of a plant's defensesand response capabilities. You can read more about the'types of emergency preparednesswe require at the following links:http://www.nrc.govlreading-rrm/doc-collections/fact-sheets/fs-emerg-plan-prep-nuc-power.htmlhttp://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-co•lections/fact-sheets/force-on-force-fs.html

Applications for new nuclear reactors such as North Anna, Unit 3 undergo a lengthyprocess to determine the feasibility and safety of the site and proposed design. Each goesthrough an extended period of review, both from a safety and an environmental standpoint.The particular application you referenced is still in early stages, and there will be plenty ofopportunities for public comment as the NRC researches the proposed reactor. There ismore information available here, including a schedule:http:l/www.nrc.gov/reactors/new-reactors/col/north-anna.html

I hope this answers your questions.

After looking at the news photos and clips of the Japanese Reactors.

It seems the weakness in the design was the plumbing that broke loose in the reactors, (noplumbing no water!!)

In the U.S., I think the reactors, if not already doing so should replace the reactor plumbingwith flexable plumbing.. (this might require some high level engineering.)

Triple redundancy static plumbing is probably not going to work in anything over a 7-8

I have attached an article about a firefighting gel I thought it might be useful because itmixes with water and if you make a thick enough gel you could fill the reactor containmentvessel and if there are any leaks it would be less likely to run out as quickly as water ormaybe even help plug the leaks you could also mix it with boron. A possible workingprocedure would be to fill the containment vessel let the gel absorb as much heat as isdeemed safe and then flush out the gel and fill it up with the gel again.hopefully the gelwould absorb the heat and remove it when its flushed out.This way instead ofconstantly having to flush water through the reactor they could start a system of filling andflushing they could fill all the reactor vessels wait for them to absorb the heat and then flushand refill this way all the reactors could be taken care of plus you have the advantage of firesupression at the same time thus making it safer for the workers and as you can see fromthe article it could also be spread over the cooling ponds and it should have the effect of notonly suppressing the fire but also cooling the fuel rods please call me or write me to letme know if you got this message or if you have any oa.estions for me or if I can-le of anyfurther assistance Donald Du" ((b)(6) "

the company is Barricade www.firegelgel.com -1-800 2011,393a?-


There is a company that make a water soluble fire retardont gel called barricade this could be mixed with water and boron then what you do is fill up thecooling ponds with this product because its a gel its less likely to run out very quickly if there's a leak now they are kept cool plus you have the addedbenefit of fire suppression then you hose down everything in the reactor buildings the gel boron mix should help bring the radiation down and it clings toeverything. Then you till the containment vessels with the gel and then allow a certain amount of time to go by to allow the gel boron mixture to absorb heatand neutrons now we go to a flush refill mode remember this is water soluble so you flush the containment vessels with water removing heat and neutronsand refill It with more gel lather rinse repeat I think that has just as good a shot as any thing they are trying I also thought you could hose down thecontamination suits of the workers with the gel and that should help to absorb the neutrons and protect the workers it could be washed off and reappliedtaking the contamination with it at regular intervals I think this is a well thought out plan let me tell you it's very discouraging when you bring an idea likethis to Greenpeace end they literally laugh in your face take that Jim Riccio seriously I hope someone sees this and at least gives it a chance I have beenworking hard over the last two days trying to get someone to hear me out

Dear Mr. Jackson,Thank you for your inquiry. The Japanese did not have windmills offshore from their nuclear plantslargely due to the threat of tsunamis which would destroy the windmills and thus they would not havebeen able to supply electricity for the plants in that emergency situation.

Our hearts go out to the Japanese citizens as well. The NRC has sent a team of technical experts toassist our Japanese counterparts in any way that they request. I hope that this has addressed yourconcern.

I have been watching the news and I am just concerned. As I watch I wonder why they cannot havewind mills off site of a nuclear plant that could power the generators in case of emergencies like this.Not the whole plant but to assist the generators to pump water to cool the reactors until the plant haspower again. They lay miles and miles of pipeline what is wrong with ability to run power fromwindmills to these plants.

Just a concerned citizen.

My prayers go out to all the people caught up in disaster.

Thank you for trying to reach us with your suggestion. We always appreciate feedbackfrom the public, especially feedback in the interest of keeping nuclear power plants safe.

If you are looking to make a formal request regarding the design of future reactors, thebest channel to do so would be through our public involvement forums.

Hi, Adam,


Thank you.

The former LPDRs were supposed to make available for viewing copies of NRC publicly-available

documents. Emergency plans would have been such documents. They would have been filed inCategory F of each docket. The rule was if it was public, it was available. The NRC ceased

supporting the former LPDRs in 1999 when ADAMS came online. After 9/11, depending on theinformation, parts of the emergency plans were restricted. You can have your staff do an ADAMS

search on the document type "Emergency Plans".

Hello, Tom,

Please see Amy's note below mine; was there ever a requirement for publiclibraries to hold onto emergency plans for nuclear power plants? So far, the PDR staff hasnot found any such requirement.

Thank you.

Anna


Hello, Amy,

I am going to also check with Tom Smith about this. The NRC used to supportLocal Public Document Rooms (LPDRs) which were usually located near a nuclear powerplant. Those Document Rooms had copies of the Legacy microfiche collection since theywere publicly available documents. I am not sure if plant emergency response planswould be considered as publicly available. Many of the LPDRs were GovernmentDepository libraries but there were also a few that were supported by the power plants orthe local community. We are still checking to see if there was ever any requirement forpublic libraries to have emergency plans for power plants in their collections and I will letyou know what we learn.

Thank you.

Anna

Gentlemen,

II(b)(6)

I find it frustrating to watch helicopters indiscriminately dump water over the reactors when most of thewater either disperses in the air or is blocked by the remaining building structure. It seems to me that amore precise method is needed to deliver materials into the spent fuel pools.

A large concrete boom pump may be able to do this. For example, the Putzmeister BSF 63Z-Meterhas a 200-foot vertical and 190-foot horizontal reach. Pictures of this pump as well as others can befound online. A camera could be mounted to the end of the boom to help the operator preciselyposition the boom and to provide much needed information as to the pools condition.

After the boom is positioned, a pipe could be connected that would bypass the pump on the boomtruck and allow another pump positioned further away from the radiation to deliver water or maybesome type of slurry into the pool.

For what it is worth,

Trey Setterlin

Hi there,

I was not sure who to contact regarding the recent nuclear issue at Fukushima in Japan, I believe I have an ideawhich may help.

Many of the ideas presented so far for cooling the nuclear plant have failed, they are simply all variations on thesame already failed plan, as we learned from Chernobyl the surrounding area is constantly absorbing theradiation, if the plant cant be cooled then maybe they could try my idea, my idea also works as a long termsolution.

My idea is as follows:

Since the Fukushima plant is right on the coast my suggestion would be to dig a massive trench around andunder the plant just enough to support the weight of the above plant and soil.

Once the trench is complete flood it with sea water from the coast by simple driving the trench into the sea,keep expanding the trench until the water beneath is holding the weight of the soil and plant in a manner thatavoids collapse.

Once buoyant, pontoons can simply float the entire plant and soil out to the deep ocean where it can besubmerged very deep in the pacific, we can then cover up the site on the seabed with the appropriate material.

Let me know what you think of the idea.

Regards

l am (b)(6) and was one of the several you called toWashington after three Mile Island.

I am greatly concerned that the problem in Japan could continue to escalate unlessthey give up on trying to save the reactors and start trying to save the people.Spraying water or even pumping in water most likely will not help at thesetemperatures because the water will just flash to steam and flow back out withoutproviding significant cooling.

What they need to do, in my opinion is pump in liquid concrete, as used inconstruction - there should be trucks available in Tokyo to do this and constructioncompanies with the know how. The concrete aggregate should contain if possiblechunks of lead and a barium compound or other reaction-killing compound. Pump asmuch as possible into both the reactors and the holding pools. This, of course willpermanently kill the reactors but they are probably destroyed anyway because of theseawater.

Please consider this suggestion and if it has merit, please transmit to your colleaguesin Japan. I am retired 8 years and no longer have contacts in Japan.

Hello Mr. Wikle:

At this point, the NRC has recommended that people within 50 miles of the plants in Japan evacuate.Other than that, I don't have specific information to offer you from NRC. We are primarily focused onassuring people in the U.S. that they should not be concerned about harmful radiation reaching our soilas a result of the accident in Japan.

However, the State Department has an email address that they are monitoring 24-7, and it is forcitizens in Japan and for family members in the States who have loved ones in Japan. It [email protected]. Please reach out to them if you have concerns. I suspect that theywon't recommend any action for people who are 500 miles out.

I also looked up the Marine base's Web site:http:l/www.marinesmil/unit/mcasiwakuni/Pages/default.aspx

They say that they are not concerned about anyone on their base being in any danger, but areconstantly monitoring the situation.

I hope this helps.

Dear Mr. Night,Thank you for your inquiry. Some of the reactors that you are referring to may currently beoffline (not generating power) due to refueling. Every 12-18 months, a reactor has amonth-long period in which some new fuel is inserted. Other reactors have been shutdown permanently, often due to local politics. Power rates can fluctuate at a reactor unitand may cause the cause the capacity factor to be less than 100%.

I hope that answered your question.

Amy,

Please don't blow this idea off. At least send it to the experts for evaluation. You havethe power and contacts to fix this. The issue here seems to be ineffectiveness ofwater delivery. We can see on on TV and Utube, the helicopters are missing thetargets big time using their water scoop buckets. The water cannons have provenineffective also. I am ex military. A 5000 gallon water bladder can be easily precisionplaced directly into the holding tanks.

From: Tobin, JenniferSent: Friday, March 18, 2011 1:29 PMTo: [email protected]: RE: limerick power plant

To whom it may concern,Thank you for your inquiry. The Limerick plant's operating license was issued in 1985 for a40 year lifetime. That license is not due to expire until 2024 and may be extended foranother 20 years. If the licensee would like to extend the lifetime, it must submit anapplication for lifetime extension to the NRC for review. This review process typically takes3-5 years. There is at least one NRC employee (called a resident inspector) stationed on-site at the Limerick facility.

If your KI pills have expired, you need to contact your State (PWnsylvania) Bureau of

Radiation Protection. They can be reached 17-787-2480.

I hope this information addresses your questions.

If you are looking for some way to be able to measure levels of radiation in the UnitedStates, the Environmental Protection Agency has a tool on their website to do so(www.epa.gov search for "radnet"). This EPA has monitoring stations around the U.S. andhas built this database to offer up-to-date measures of radiation levels. Unfortunately, thedata is displayed in counts per minute which is not a measure of radiation dose but itwould be able to show you background levels and fluctuations. I hope that answered yourquestion.

Dear Scott Burnell, David McIntyre, Ivonne Couret:

Concerning the ongoing Nuclear Catastrophe in Japan,why have they not use mobile generators.These are the size of a tractor trailer, produce megawatts of electricity and should beable to power the pumps. I am surprised that the pumps can not be operated untilthey connect power from the grid.It is appalling that Nuclear facilities are required to have only 4 to 8 hours back upelectric to keep pumps and equipment operating. Seehttp;//www.ucsusa.org/nuclear power/nuclear power risk/safety/senate-briefing-on-%apan-nuclear-crisis.html - Link to Union of Concerned Scientists. STATEMENT OFDR. EDWIN LYMAN, SENIOR SCIENTIST, GLOBAL SECURITY PROGRAM - Seestatement 2. it says "...... The NRC requires U.S. plants to have the capability to copewith a station blackout for no more than four to eight hours. We need to re-evaluatethe adequacy of these requirements and the effectiveness of their implementation."

The back up generators on site should be on the roof or otherwise high enough sothey will be above flood waters. Also Nuclear reactor and fuel storage sites shouldhave water reservoirs that are at a higher elevation so that gravity can carry water toreactor. These should have flexible back up pipes and hoses that can be used if mainpipes are damaged. \

This catastrophe shows us that all nuclear reactors and power stations are just anelectric power failure away from disaster. A strong coronial mass ejection from thesun has in the past knocked out electric grids. Such events can occurred to knockelectric supply to nuclear power and cause the same catastrophe that Japans'nuclear facilities are experiencing any where and many times over. The US hasadvised Americans in Japan to stay 50 miles from the nuclear catastrophe. Yet in theUS there is only a 10 mile zone for nuclear emergencies. Here in New York State isthe Indian Point Nuclear Power facility which sits atop the Ramapo fault line. NewYork City, Manhattan, is 30 miles away, Outer Boroughs Queens and Brooklyn 33miles. There are millions of people in between. The Human cost is unacceptable.The economic cost would devastate the US economy. This is just one of manynuclear facilities in the US that poses grave danger.

When you consider the entire process of nuclear power generation, from mining andprocessing fuel to the storage of spent fuel which must be kept cool, it is noteconomically nor environmentally practical. However, the reality of NuclearCatastrophes make nuclear power an unacceptable source of energy. Nuclearpower plants must not be built and exiting one must be decommissioned and thenuclear material must be removed from populated areas.Sincerely Joseph Lacey

You may know Fukushima daiichi power plant is highly dengerous.in japan, a lot of people think it go better time to time.they didnt experience the case(one thing can easily kill us)

Hello Ms. Kelly:

I understand that you are concerned about radiation levels in CA. The NRC continues tomonitor information regarding wind patterns near Japanese nuclear power plants.Nevertheless, given the distance between Japan and the West Coast - we are notexpected to experience any harmful levels of radioactivity. The EPA monitors radiationlevels and agrees with this assessment.

From: Birla, SushilSent: Friday, March 18, 2011 4:15 PMTo: OPA Resource; OPA ResourceCc: Ash, DarrenSubject: Suggestion about the public web site about safety requirements and enforcement in US NPPs

Suggestion: On the NRC public web site, make it easier for the average citizen to findinformation about safety requirements and enforcement in US NPPs.Objective: Maintain public confidence in the backdrop that other countries have takencertain steps (but not the USA) in light of current events.

For example, a line "Safety measures in U.S. Nuclear Power Plants" linked to a page,which is built from links to information already available, but not so visible.

The figures displayed in the presentation slides 5-6 replacing references toFukushima and extending the visuals with information and labels explaining thelayers of defense;

* o or similar visuals derived by extending the figures at the URLhttp://www.nrc.gov/reactors/generic-bwr.pdf explaining the safety featuresand the layers of defense.

o or similar visuals derived by extending the Figures 19-20 in NUREG-1350Section 3 at the URL http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/nuregs/staff/srl 350/v22/sr1 350v22-sec-3.pdf

o Protection against hydrogen burning, precluding comparisons with ahydrogen bomb

In "Protecting people and the environment" links to the following pages: "Spentnuclear fuel storage"; Emergency preparedness; NRC Incident response

Information about protection against earthquakes, tsunamis, station blackouts, andflood water

and so on.

Such information should be easier to find and better than comparable information found onother web sites, e.g. NEI

P.S. to Darren Ash: Hopefully, this will address the types of concerns expressed in acouple of comments in Bill's Q-A today.

comments: I have watched the progress of the Japanese Nuclear Power plant meltdown for a weeknow. There main concern seems to be the lack of providing water to the reactors and to keep waterover the spent fuel rods. My question is why has no one suggested to move some of the JapaneseNaval ships sitting idle to the power plants and use the aux power on the ships to supply power to thepumps in order to cool the reactors? Ships are power plants. ,

I am a engineer and I have some questions about the bulletin. Why would the plant be designed to vent the gases to thesecondary containment building where they could (and did) detonate due to the hydrogen buildup from the Zirc waterreaction? I vaguely remember that TMI had a hydrogen detonation; why didn't that cause similar damage as in the JapanReactor buildings?

Is it possible that the hydrogen that detonated came from a zirc water reaction from the spent fuel rods in the pool sincecooling had been lost and the water boiled and level appeared to be lost?

Why was the pool in reactor 4 compromised ? I thought that only reactor units 1 and 3 had explosions.

Summary of Critical ModificationsThe following modifications are the more significant examples of improvements to the Mark I containmentdesign as enhancements to design margins or increased capability to address "beyond design basis conditions."

Hardened Vent

In the 1980s, the NRC staff reviewed the potential for accidents more severe than those the plants were licensedand designed to mitigate. In order to enhance the ability of all containments to prevent and mitigate theconsequences of severe accidents beyond the design basis accidents, the NRC requested that all plants install ahardened vent. In the event of a core damage accident, the hardened vent would allow reduction in containmentpost-accident pressure. Hardened meant that the vent would transport hydrogen, steam and other accidentproducts and release them outside the reactor building. This would preclude damage to the reactor building andequipment from steam and the possible hydrogen explosions.

In response to the GL 89-16 and the results of their Individual Plant Examinations (IPEs), all of the nuclearpower plants installed a hardened vent or demonstrated to the NRC's satisfaction. This hardened vent capabilitywould allow BWR plant operators to vent post-accident airborne materials by passing them through the water inthe wetwell, thereby removing a large amount of the radioactive material contained in the vent stream beforeventing. This added capability increases the ability of the Mark I containment to mitigate the consequences ofdesign-basis and beyond-design-basis accidents.

Dear Sir or Madam,

One of the top physicists in the world said that the people in Japan handling the nuclear reactor crisis are notphysicists and don't know what they are doing. They are "living in fantasy land" hoping that the problem will goaway on its own, and pouring sea water on the reactors and fuel rods is like "trying to put out a forest fire with asquirt gun". Please find a way to send them help.

This crisis is much worse than Three Mile Island. There are 6 reactors. The people are overwhelmed bynatural disasters and just trying to survive. Plus there are cultural issues that are very complicated. But theend result is, they are not handling the nuclear crisis and they need help.

This emergency is contaminating the whole planet, and getting worse.They don't have time to make any more mistakes. The 6 reactors, or at least the radioactive materials in thereactors and fuel rods, and surrounding areas need to be entombed in materials that can absorb theradioactivity and stop it from contaminating the planet. Now! Their mistakes could destroy the planet.

Can you please send them some help? The problem is of course much worse than they can admit, even tothemselves.

I scanned this report and this mod that the NRC ordered appears to eliminate the likelihood of Hydrogen explosions withinthe reactor building. Do you know if the afected Japan reactors had this mod. It appears that they did not. I provide thepart of the report below for your convenience.

Subject: Emergency Solution for cooling off the NUCLEAR REACTORSDate: Monday, March 21, 2011 2:08:40 AM

Hello Amy,

Thank you for your response.I did not question the performance of you organization, neither i questioned the integrity and ability ofyour staff.

When i see air crafts are flying and dumping water over reactors in Japan, it make me think, thismeans all the other procedures have failed, The reactor has oput every one on the run and Now, wehave to rely on our air force to tackle the situation.Please correct ,me if i am wrong.

The rate of heating is greater than the rate of cooling, therefore, the reactors are collecting more heat

than it gives up. therefore the reactors are over heating.

In order to overcome this situation, you must create a wall of shaved ice around the reactors.

The shaved ice will melt very fast, so the rate of dropping the shaved ice has to be faster, Helicopterafter Helicopter waiting in line in the air to drop the saved ice over the targeted area. The emptyhelicopter will go back , refill come back and stay in line and you create a pattern and system ofcollective effort to resolve the situation acting as you are working very fast in the field.

But However, this idea can also be incorporated as part of The Emergency Procedures protocol , so ifall the cooling system and II the emergency cooling procedures failed, you still have a protocol calledShaved Ice to tackle the reactor melt down.

OK, Lets review this again:

Objiectives:N

This is effort that in an inevitable situation to attack and control the overheating Reactors after allknown procedures have failed. This is to drop Shaved Ice overThe Overheating Reactors, in the shortest possible time.

Material needed:Shaved ice

Why Shaved Ice?because:Its lighter than ice, but heavier than snow and water still part of the H20 family, but different shape.Even, when dropped from 2000- 3000 ft, it can not cause structural damageIts molecules can connect together and create a compact wall.

How do we do it:

From Air

100 Army Cargo Helicopters dropping Shaved Ice over the targeted areas.The rate of drop has to be fast, Helicopters must be waiting in line, drop after drop continuously untilthe safe temperature has been reached and then just maintain.

You need few people on the ground to monitor the accuracy of drops and monitor the temperature.

Or just insert Blocks of Ice in the commercial ice shaving machines and tackle the situation fromGround and deal with the situation with pin point accuracy.Pump shaved Ice, Night and day until the temperature has reached the safe degree.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hello,

My name is Ali TalabI am a Realtor from San Jose, Ca.But, i also have completed a Master degree in Fuel Technology from MiddlesexUniversity from London.

The Solution to cooling off the reactors is very simple.The atmospheric temperature water does not have the ability to cool off the reactorsas the rate of heating are far greater than rate of cooling.

Regarding Japan Reactor Melt down

Please add crushed ice by Helicopter directly on top of the reactors.

Why crushed ice?A... It will not cause any structural damage upon landing.B...It will nicely land in every hole around the reactor.

Why Helicopter?It can hover on top of the reactor and drop its cargo with lot of accuracy.May be some personnel from ground can direct the helicopter pilot to achieve thatdelivery accuracy.

Put the army to work.Put 50 -100 helicopter to work round the clock.You have attack the heat, not just treat it with kindness.

Solution in matter of Hours.

Please let me know, if you have any questions.

Best wishes for all mankind

Got to thinking and the below in regards to the delivery of said tank, andthat would be only the 'last resort' method, what I thought of for a more

controlled introduction of the tank of liquid hydrogen or nitrogen wouldbe as follows;

1). First, take an empty tank and weld a hook on the end of it so you can

attach a chain. Welding should be done so as not to hurt the tank any sothat it can be pressurized, testing with pressure before filling should bedone.

2). Fill tank, then come out from the valve with black iron piping into a

cross-type pattern, capping all the ends.

3). Drill holes in the piping at regular intervals.

4). Turn on valve and lower the tank, upside down, until it comes to justabove the cooling water in the core, allowing tank to empty out. XN

The above should freeze the water in there, add more water whenapplicable.

If they could somehow introduce liquid nitrogen or hydrogen into thewater that is being used to cool it down, might bring about a morecontrollable situation.

So, what happens to the nuks now in Japan if there is another tsunami due to a large off shore aftershock?

Maybe we should be advising them to have a flood protected generator and switchgear?

From: Steve Chole (b)(6)Sent: Monday, March 21, 2011 12:00To: NRC AllegationSubject: Obvious Safety design that is not being utilized

Dear NRC:

Considering the events in Japan it is obvious to me that the cooling systems must be required to operate even in theevent of a total and continuing loss of power to the plant.

To address this contingency, the reactor and spent fuel compartments should be built so that they are below the localwater level. If the unimaginable occurs, as it has in Japan, manual valves can be opened that will allow gravity flow ofwater to cover and cool the rods. It does surprise me that the reactor and containment area have been built so farabove sea level in Japan. With this design, any failure in a valve, a broken pipe or a crack in the containment walls willimmediately drain. Resorting to air drops and water cannons seems stupid to me and indicative of a design problem.What is the rationale behind this above water level approach? It seems far too reliant on having a great deal of powercontinually available.

VRaylr-- (b)(6)MondgT Irch 21, 2011 1:5 57NRC AllegationNuclear Safety Accident Preparations and Response Training May be Inadequate

US nuclear generating stations hold routine training drills, etc. for the worst case postulated credible singlefailure event. Based upon multiple units at the same site failing in Japan, it is no longer credible that an analyzedaccident only affects one unit at a multiple unit site. Shouldn't it now be a requirement for multiple unit sites to analyzeand set up the emergency response facilities to handle all units at a site simultaneously? Up to now it has beenconsidered an unlikely event for a string of failures at one site to occur at the adjacent unit but clearly one tsunamiwave, a single failure initiating event, affected all units at a given site in Japan. If I am correct, then no US multi unit siteis set up to deal with more than a single unit failure at a time. I think prudently this should now be looked at as acredible failure and proper preparations taken to ensure if this were to happen at a US facility then the utility is not in aposition that there is insufficient people, emergency response facilities, etc. to deal with a simultaneous multi unitemergency. Possibly; this advanced preparations would prevent the release of radioactive materials to the USenvironment such as what is happening in Japan as they, by admission, were not prepared to handle a multi unit failure.

Dear Sirs,

Since we've seen a reactor canget too hot for people to enterWhy not use a tracked robot like the army ese? It would haveto be bigger and strenger to drar the hose in an could go over therubble.Also the nozzle and as much of the robot should be made of Boron.

The vent one safly would require the construction of a filter.A large tank filled almosot to the top with water. The inlet wound beat the bottom,thewater would cool the steam and should remove most of the radioactiveelements.The outlet would have to be screened and have a fine pore filter.

I believe this would work on any reactor.

Sicerly,David Obrecht

You want one in your back yard? I don't.

There are 23 operating and aging GE Mark I reactors in the United States. This is the same design thathas failed so catastrophically at Fukushima.

Top safety officials at the Atomic Energy Commission and later the Nuclear Regulatory Commission havewarned about the flaws of this reactor design for the past 40 years.

The flaws in this design are fundamental and cannot be fixed.

Americans should not live in peril due to flawed reactor designs. Taken together, all 23 of these reactorsprovide less than 4% of the nation's electricity. There is ample reserve capacity available.

These reactors must be permanently closed now. Please inform me of the actions you will take toensure their permanent shutdown.

Ref.: Ability to Stop the Disintegration of a Radioactive Isotope

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The radioactive disaster in Japan is capable of infecting thousands of people and killing alarge number if not brought under control very quickly.

Currently Behair Technologies has four RFS Systems available to begin neutralizing theradiation at the rate of 400,000 gallons per day. Within one week, enough machinescould be fabricated to provide an additional 1,000,000 gallons per day and by the end ofthe second week, Behair Technologies could supply an additional processing capabilityof 5,000,000 gallons per day.

These machines can and will provide radioactive free drinking water for the people.

Just the processed water itself will stop the disintegration of a radioactive isotope and canbe used to wash all radiation contamination off people and equipment. It can also besprayed into the rector area and limit radioactive expulsion into the atmosphere. Dairiesneed to sprayed, and the milk passed through an RFS System to clean it of radiationcontamination. Pastures for cattle and dairies as well as vegetable farms need to bedecontaminated, including rice farms. Young children are especially venerable toradiation sickness.

Small streams can have a portion of their waters processed and the radiation killing effectwill kill the balance of radiation to a large degree. Pond water can be recycled and theradiation killed in the water.

In addition, other airborne radiation landing in the proceed pond water will be eliminateduntil the saturation point is reached and then if the water is recycled the radiation will bekilled, thus slowing down and eventually eliminating radioactive contamination as thenuclear reactors are brought under control.

The entire Northern Japan ecosystem is under attack by nuclear fallout. This includes allwildlife such as birds, fish, and land animals. If not stopped, this nuclear disaster canspread to other countries.

The potential "meltdown" of the nuclear reactors can also affect other countries withradiation poison, especially South Korea, North Korea, Russia, Alaska, Canada, and theUnited States mainland as per prevailing winds and jet stream flows.

Equipment can be leased from Behair Technologies with mutual agreement that theequipment is a "Trade Secret" belonging to Behair Technologies since the equipmenttypes are still in research and development. However, because of the many lives thatmay be saved by the use of this equipment and technologies, Behair Technologies iswilling to risk exposure prior to filing patent protection. We are depending on the goodfaith of the various peoples and corporations to not circumvent Behair Technologies rightto utilize Namon A. Hawthorne's invention, and his intellectual property rights.

Behair Technologies will ship the constructed RFS Systems immediately and beginfabrication of addition machines upon receiving fabrication funding. Fabrication willrequire $150,000.00 per RFS System plus shipping cost.

Currently with the ramped exposure to highly toxic nuclear radiation, and with mountingcases of radiation poison affecting the masses of people, there will be no lease paymentsrequired until the people are protected, no matter how long it takes.

Thanks

Japanese Nuclear DisasterTU-1 Waters Already Approved By Japanese Customs

Most of us cannot imagine the, hardships being endured by the Japanese People; first agreat earthquake, then a responding tsunami action, massive destruction of homes, roads,commercial businesses, industrial facilities, followed by a partial nuclear power plantmeltdown, and escaping radiation into the atmosphere. The magnitude of thiscatastrophic chain of events makes it difficult to know where to initially establish, themost critical items for family, personal, and social well-being.

Priorities must begin with "life-support" items, which are air, water, food, warm dryclothes, shelter, medical, and transportation. Looking at the conditions where theselife-support items are in need, we find several critical items being compromised by anenvironment of air-borne nuclear radiation fallout.

Behair Technologies can provide a partial protection blanket for the affected citizens ofJapan. Water is the key element in improving living conditions within the earthquakestricken areas and radioactive contaminated areas. Behair Technologies is capable ofproviding water designed to stop the disintegration of radioactive isotopes. Regularwater just will not provide the extra protection received from Nu-Clear Water, which isspecifically processed to protect against radioactivity.

Radiation fallout can be minimized with the proper tools (such as "Nu-Clear Water")utilized in sequential applications against the effects of air-borne radiation and theresulting contaminating fallout.

PERSONAL PROTECTIONAir, the very first item to consider is the very air we breathe. If the air is contaminatedwith radiation, it is of vital importance to keep the very fine radioactive particles fromreaching your lungs!

One way to utilize Nu-Clear Water is to minimize the air-borne radiation from reachingyour lungs. A dampened facemask causes the radioactive particle in the air to passthrough the mask where it will be exposed to Nu-Clear Water where much of thedisintegration is stopped. A Nu-Clear Water soaked mask will eliminate much of theradiation, thus, by stopping the radiation from reaching the cells in your lungs, less cellsare destroyed by disintegrating air-borne radioactive materials.

Wash exposed body parts with Nu-Clear Water, which have come in directcontact with radioactive "air-fallout."

1

Water, Nu-Clear Water is excellent drinking water. Some Nu-Clear Water should bedrank every day to destroy any ingested radioactive materials.

Spray down shoes and outer garments with Nu-Clear Water before entering yourhome or touching your family members or guest.

Cook with Nu-Clear Water whenever possible! Foods that are purchased fromvendors may have been contaminated with radiation long before being taken intoyour kitchen.

Bathe with Nu-Clear Water at least once each day and bathe your children twicea day if possible.

Food, such as vegetables need to be washed with Nu-Clear Water and cooked in Nu-Clear Water to minimize ingested radioactivity.

Warm Dry Clothes should be worn to be less attractive to air-borne radioactivematerials.

Laundry should be done by using Nu-Clear Water. If the washing machine is hookedup to a public utility water line, pour in V2 gallon, or more if possible, of Nu-Clear Waterto reduce radioactive contamination in the laundry.

Shelters or your home may become more and more contaminated by air-borne radiationas contaminating exposure time increases. Prevailing winds will play a major role fordisbursement of radiation, which is constantly contaminating the atmosphere over thedamaged nuclear reactor or storage ponds until all radiation losses are brought undercontrol.

There are many unknown items in this scenario; however, preparation is thesafekeeping of longevity.

Medical benefits are not known and no claims are being made except that Nu-ClearWater will stop the disintegration of a radioactive isotope. All of these writings and theapplications are based upon third party radiological laboratory analysis. Tests areavailable for review and study. However, the simplest way to determine if Nu-ClearWater is everything Behair Technologies claims, is to have it Nu-Clear Water testedby aradiological laboratory.

STREETS AND ROADWAYSTransportation on the roadways will begin soon, and radioactive materials that havesettled onto the roadways will be sent back into the air with passing cars. The problemhere is that sedimentation from a large "slightly contaminated radioactive air body" willconcentrate on the roadways. As cars continue to pass through this "settled" radioactivematerial, the cars become more and more contaminated with radiation.

2

At some point, the cars must be decontaminated of the radiation. The simple waywould be to drive the car to a "carwash" that can both wash the car and stop thedisintegration of the radioactive materials, which have been washed off the cars and othervehicles. This can be easily accomplished if the carwash has a Behair TechnologiesRFS System installed in the wash water line.

Aircraft decontamination is going to be a very important item and must soon beaddressed; as the helicopters dropping water on the reactors are picking up radioactivecontamination each time they pass through the emissions zone above the damagegenerating plants.

Radioactive materials being wash from the aircraft can reach very high levels ofcontamination and by washing this radioactive material from the aircraft, it willcontaminate the ground and the storage tanks that hold the wash waters. BehairTechnologies can install an RFS System and stop the disintegration of the radioactivematerials. In this manner the radioactive contaminated materials being washed off theaircraft is rendered radioactive harmless.

Here only two decontamination applications are mentioned, but unfortunately, thereare hundreds of independent washing applications that will need help decontaminatingthe radiation.

AGRICULTURAL APPLICATIONSLivestock is easily affected by radioactive fallout in several ways. The radioactivefallout settles on the animal; the animal drinks from a stream or pond that is contaminatedby radiation and ingests the contamination, and therefore, the meat and milk becomescontaminated. Livestock graze off contaminated pasture grasses and ingestcontamination through eating.

Dairies associated products present an even gloomier picture as the very young whomare bottle-fed must now not be given a diet of radioactive contaminated milk. Milk isused in most cooking and on prepared cereals for breakfast, etc., etc.

Garden foods such as vegetables stand the chance of becoming contaminated withradiation, which has settled on the soil and been soaked into the root system of the plantfrom either rain or irrigation. Will there be enough radiation in vegetables to causeradiation poisoning? Probably not in and of itself, but it is just one more item added tothe accumulative radiation contamination problem within the general ecosystem.

Creeks and rivers can receive higher levels of radiation contamination due to water shedfrom farms and other areas receiving sedimentation of air-borne radiation fallout. BehairTechnologies RFS Systems can be placed on ponds, streams, creeks and even rivers toeither eliminate or greatly reduce the radiation levels.

3

Farmlands need to be irrigated by specific waters, which has been processed by RFSSystems or other radiation decontaminating machines. Behair Technologies has severaltypes of machine technologies available to chose one that is correct for you specific need.

PUBLIC UTILITIES

Water Treatment Plants, which have installed Behair Technologies radiationeradicating equipment, are in the best position to assist the most people with the leastamount of cost. Machines can be designed to support the need of several hundredthousands of gallons of potable (radiation free) water per day.

If Surface Water Sources are supplying the utility company water, and then the surfacewater needs to be treated and placed into a contained area free of radiation fallout.

RENEWABLE CONTAMINATION SOURCES

Radioactive Fallout from the generating plants needs to be sprayed with BehairTechnologies waters that stop the disintegration of a radioactive isotope. BehairTechnologies already has machines available to accomplish this task.

The Source of the radiation is the crippled nuclear power generating plants. BehairTechnologies has technologies to protect the crews and to develop close support of therepair efforts under much safer conditions. Behair Technologies stands ready to proveour capability at ant time by first hand demonstration.

BEHAIR TECHNOLOGIES "TWO FRONT" ATTACK

Nu-Clear Bottled WaterThe most important and immediate priority on the agenda for Japan's recovery from thisnuclear disaster, is to protect the affected people in the fallout zones.

Behair Technologies has the current capability of bottling about 172,800 bottles of16.9 oz (500 ml) daily. In addition, a new TU-1 System has just been field tested andready to be placed on line in a larger bottling facility, which could bring up ourproduction rate to about 500,000 bottles per day. These TU-I Systems are stainlesssteel systems and approved for drinking water.

Japanese Customs approved sale of "Kinesis Bottled Water" for sale in Japan aboutfour years ago as drinking water. "Kinesis Bottled Water" is the same as "Nu-ClearWater" as it is processed by exactly the same TU-1 System through Sedona BottlingCompany of Phoenix, Arizona. Only the label has been changed from Kinesis BottledWater to Nu-Clear Water.

Radiation Processing EquipmentBehair Technologies ability to rapidly increase protection from radioactive fallout andgreatly reduce radiation poisoning of the citizens of Japan.

Behair Technologies can place four 100 gallon per minute RFS Systems on line. Thesesystems are constructed and ready to be placed into service immediately.

Behair Technologies can provide machines that stop the disintegration of a radioactiveisotope in the volumes of one or two million gallons per minute within five to six months.

These machines would be fabricated for application as required, from 10 gallon for homeuses, to 100 gallon per minute for farm and garden uses (i.e., dairies, orchards,greenhouses, etc.), 600 to 1,200 gallon per minute for irrigation purposes, special designsfor use on the nuclear materials at the damaged generating facilities, (the four 100 gallonper minute RFS Systems might greatly reduce radioactive emissions from thesedamaged facilities), and large systems (several thousand gallons per minute) should beplaced on public water utilities.

The overall expense of having to prepare foods and other essentials to masses of people,along with the transporting such supplies over long periods of time, requires a specificlabor force and it lays the groundwork for an economical disaster.

Stabilize the radioactive contamination and the basic problem is solved. BehairTechnologies is ready to support these efforts.

Please contact us and we will supply the data we have available and will perform fieldtests to demonstrate our capabilities.

Dear Sirs at at the USNRC:

I have an idea for how to improve nuclear safety in this country. Itinvolves creating some equipent that can be used in a region to respondquickly to overheated reactors:

Suggestion for improved nuclear safety

The Japanese are having difficulty cooling their reactors. For a failsafemethod for USA reactors, we need to develop a procedure to cool reactorsfrom above if a similar situation arises here - no matter how unlikely thefailure. This will give our nuclear power added safety and redundancy.

If need to cool the reactors with pumped water, here is how to do it:1. Rig up a large helocopter with 1000 m of steel cable.2. Tie the other end to a long firehose3. Hover the copter 1000 m over the fuel rods in the tank4. Turn on the water pump from a fire engine5. To keep the water centered, use a second copter with an observer and atelescope (image stabilized) to ensure all water gets to the tank6. If the water needs to get inside, use a military bomb disposal robot tomove the hose to the correct position in the building. The overhead copterdoing most of the pulling of hose weight.

This technique is easy and can be done right away. There is minimal risk ofgamma rays or other radiation since 1000 m high is far away. If the USpractices now in non-nuclear sites, we will be ready when it is needed.It only needs some high capacity helocopters on call and the hose and cableequipment ready for selected regions of the country.

Dave Weber

Hi,I don't have a great knowledge about Nuclear Power Plant design but looking and the tragedy thathappened in Japan with the fear of a possible reactor meltdown, I tried to think what the designerscould do to prevent such situations.I understand that the main issue is the inability of cooling down the rods inside the reactor in asustained electric power loss. The high temperature inside the reactor keeps converting the water insteam leaving the rods uncovered increasing the temperature inside the reactor creating more steamaccelerating the process until the core reaches the meltdown temperature.Is it possible to build an emergency steam engine, or several, that in case of a power loss could use thesteam created in the reactor to operate the cooling pumps? If this steam engine could mechanicallyoperate these pumps (in the same way an old railway locomotive turns its wheels), the system couldhave cool water circulation as long and there is steam pressure. It is my understanding that there twowater loops, the steam water that goes from the reactor in to the generators and the cooling loopbetween the condenser and the cooling tower so both of this loops would need to have steam operatedpumps. As in the other cooling emergency systems, the diesel or the battery operated, it would rely onthe cool water supply.

I don't know if this is feasible (it might not be realistic) or if someone already had this idea, but Ithough this could be a good idea.

Thanks,

Good morning:

We understand that the situation in Japan is causing people in the U.S. to have concerns. The NRCcontinues to monitor information regarding wind patterns near the Japanese nuclear power plants.Nevertheless, given the distance between Japan and the U.S. (including Hawaii and Alaska), we are notexpected to experience any harmful levels of radiation. The EPA has publicly started its agreement withNRC's assessment. At this time, the NRC does not believe protective measures are necessary in theU.S.

Dear Sirs,

Since we've seen a reactor canget too hot for people to enterWhy not use a tracked robot like the army ese? It would haveto be bigger and strenger to drar the hose in an could go over therubble.Also the nozzle and as much of the robot should be made of Boron.

The vent one safly would require the construction of a filter.A large tank filled almosot to the top with water. The inlet wound beat the bottom,thewater would cool the steam and should remove most of the radioactiveelements.The outlet would have to be screened and have a fine pore filter.

I believe this would work on any reactor.

The Japanese are using light helicopters to dump water from internal tanks from an estimated safe

altitude of 300 ft. Most of the water is dispersed before it ever reaches the target. As a suggestion,consider using something like a Sikorsky CH-54 Skycrane or the Erickson Air-Crane with a large waterbag(s) or buckets suspended from a 300-400 ft cable. The load of approximately 3000 gal. could beeasily dumped on target in volume without significant loss of water. The cable could be lengthened, ifneed be, to reduce air crew exposure. Two or three such airframes working in relays could readily fillthe fuel rod containment vessel and cool the surrounding structures. The Japanese fire crews arefighting a losing battle because of insufficient water volume and poorly directed targeting. The ForestService uses such airframes successfully in fighting forest fires. This is a similar application oftechnology.

Just a suggestion. If anyone is listening or cares.

Please pass this email on to the proper department.

I have an idea which may help slow the amount of radiation being produced by the fuel rods at thereactors in Japan.

My idea is more.: of a question and I am really wondering if it has any merit.I am wondering if small particles of carbon mixed with the water that is being poured on the reactorwould help slow reaction between the fuel rods and as a result gradually allow them to cool down?

I am thinking that by mixing the carbon particles with the water it. can be shot into the reactor and thecooling pools from a distance. As the water is boiled off by the extreme heat the carbon particles willbe left behind and coat the fuel rods.

My question is, Would the carbon coating on the fuel rods left behind by evaporation, and thepresence of carbon particles in the water slow the reaction process and allow the rods to gradually cooldown with the help of the water?

Please contact me if you have any comments.

Hi Jennifer:

The NRC continues to monitor information regarding wind patterns near the Japanese nuclear powerplants. Nevertheless, given the distance between Japan and the U.S., we are not expected toexperience any harmful levels of radioactivity. The EPA has publicly stated its agreement with theNRC's assessment.

The NRC understands that EPA is using its existing nationwide radiation monitoring system, RadNet(http:Ilcdx~epa.cov), to continuously monitor the nation's air and regularly monitor drinking water, milk,and precipitation. You can visit their website and register online to access some numbers. We haveheard that the data can be difficult for the public to decipher, but you can compare the levels as eachday passes and see if there is a difference.

This NRC Web site provides general information about radiation levels: http://www.nrc.gov/about-nrc/radiation/around-us/doses-daily-lqives~html

You may also want to contact the Ca Department of Radiation Safety - click on CAhttp://nrc-stp.ornl gov/asdirectory. html

The CDC is answering health related questions here: 1-800-CDC-INFO.

Otherwise, this NRC Web site provides regular updates on the crisis in Japan:http://www.nrc.govljapanfjapan-info. html

From: Miguel Brito (b)(6)Sent: Sunday, March 20, 2011 11:22 AMTo: DataQuality Resource; Schaeffer, James; Goldberg, Francine; [email protected]: Alternative cooling systems for Nuclear Power Plants.

Hi,I don't have a great knowledge about Nuclear Power Plant design but looking and the tragedy thathappened in Japan with the fear of a possible reactor meltdown, I tried to think what the designerscould do to prevent such situations.I understand that the main issue is the inability of cooling down the rods inside the reactor in asustained electric power loss. The high temperature inside the reactor keeps converting the water insteam leaving the rods uncovered increasing the temperature inside the reactor creating more steamaccelerating the process until the core reaches the meltdown temperature.Is it possible to build an emergency steam engine, or several, that in case of a power loss could use thesteam created in the reactor to operate the cooling pumps? If this steam engine could mechanicallyoperate these pumps (in the same way an old railway locomotive turns its wheels), the system couldhave cool water circulation as long and there is steam pressure. It is my understanding that there twowater loops, the steam water that goes from the reactor in to the generators and the cooling loopbetween the condenser and the cooling tower so both of this loops would need to have steam operatedpumps. As in the other cooling emergency systems, the diesel or the battery operated, it would rely onthe cool water supply.

I don't know if this is feasible (it might not be realistic) or if someone already had this idea, but Ithough this could be a good idea.

Thanks,

Miguel Brito

Subject: Pres ObamaDate: Monday, March 21, 2011 2:38:50 PM

Dear President Obama,

The situation with the meltdown of Fukushima Reactor ft I is moving toward achieving theunique state of'critical mass' leading toward an 'event horizon' based on Prof. Stewart's andmy analyses of the reactor core(s) via photo's presented by US Army. Keep in mind that weare working from 5th or 6th generation photographs thus ideal resolution is difficult toachieve due to the lw quality of the photographs from which we worked.

In addition to utilizing the ORIE technology to study the reactors, our group has proposeddeployment of the 'CryoRain Technology' as a viable mitigation solution to deal with thiscatastrophe. Please see: ht.p://www.prlog~org/i 1384663-independent-scientists-propose-use-of-cryorain- technology -to -mitigate-reactor-nme tdowns- in-japan.ltnil As 1 predicted severaldays ago, the introduction of boric acid, while the Boron does possess some useful propertiesin dealing with the mitigation effort, as long as 02 is present, there exists the possiblity offire and explosion(s). New fires have been reported based on explosions that have takenplace at Fukushima within the past 2 hours (from the time stamp on this note to you). Andthe possibility of continued explosion will remain extant so long as 02 is part of theequasion.

I wanted to update you as to what our analyes has discovered, just within the past 10 hours.

Using the ORIE technology we've discovered the presence of what we believe to be a uniqueform of 'matter', which has presented and has become observable within the last 5 hours,based on the photo's we've been able to obtain via USA public portals. We are basing thisbelief on spectrographic studies performed using the ORIE technology, see:http.://fukusliimar-ac..tomieltdown.weebly.coin/. This 'matter' is presently presenting as'white-color', which occurs at the end of the energy Spectrum, with black being at theopposite side of the known Spectrum. This fact is cause for great concern.

I don't want to 'scare' anybody, or create any world-wide panic(s) ...but the ORIE technology,unquestionably, has revealed the presence of some kind of 'unique signature' in one of thephotographs.. .and we can only concluded that those 'unique atomic molecules (<probablyneutrino's>' ... which are 'theoretical' ... and in theory, only present/occur in sutuations, forexample...when a star achieves 'super-nova'...leading toward attainment of'complete andutter extinction', i.e., achiving the state of'anti-matter', and that's what we see in analyses),are now present in Reactor #1. L

Again, we've been working from 5th or 6th generation photographs. If you could have theUS Army or NASA supply us with First Generation Photographs, preferably on an hourlybasis, we could show Tepco and persons involved directly in mitigation efforts, precisely kwhere the radiation leaks and meltdown is occurring, the exact position of any rods that may

be exposed, in order that remediation teams would know exactly where to go inside thosebuildings and containment vessels, and we can accomplish via the ORIE technology.. .savingcritical time and decreasing exposure time of workers. We are prepared to asssist in any waypossible. Again, if we could be supplied with First Generation photographs (and we canwork from satellite images, too, distance is not an issue if we have First Generationphotographs with at least 100 DPI), these can be used to show mitigation teams exactlywhere to go inside the damaged facilities...as well as the highest contamination levels asshow in the press relase linked above (the blue areas in the spectrogram is uranium leakage).

Prof. Stewart and I are preparing updated information which I shall be forwarding to you andto Congressman Altmire, and to other interested parties and stakeholders, including Mr.Muto, to Tepco and and to Honorable Ichiro Fujisaki, Ambassador Extraordinary andPlenipotentiary of Japan to the United States of America, for their information, before 3 P.M.today, Eastern Time.

I am presently at my location in Warner Robins, GA located about 3 miles from RobinsAFB. My direct dial telephone number is 724-427-7551. Our team is prepared to assist allinterested parties.

Sincerely,

This technique is easy and can be done right away. There is minimal risk ofgamma rays or other radiation since 1000 m high is far away. If the USpractices now in non-nuclear sites, we will be ready when it is needed.It only needs some high capacity helocopters on call and the hose and cableequipment ready for selected regions of the country.
