INES Scale



I am worried as hell about these nuclear plants in Japan. It is set to be FAR more grave than what happened in Chernobyl. The International Nuclear Event Scale (INES) is a means for communicating in consistent terms the safety significance of nuclear and radiological events. Putting events into proper perspective facilitates common understanding among the nuclear community, the media and the public. The scale can be applied to any event associated with nuclear facilities (be they power related, industrial or medical) as well as the transport, storage and use of radioactive material and radiation sources.

I suspect we will AT BEST end up being in a LEVEL 5 emergency, but the potential for a LEVEL 7 emergency is VERY POSSIBLE.

    I'm not seeing how they can be more grave than Chernobyl, but maybe I've missed something.

    Hey, the China Syndrome thing is bullshit. Three Mile Island proved that.

    Go enjoy a good drink or milkshake, or some good nooky.

I appreciate all forms of comments on my writings. I find that I miss the sponteneity of coming to read them here when they were unmoderated. I believe I wrote less due to the moderation. I have decided to adopt limited moderation. Hopefully the prior problems with unfettered comments will not arise again. Please feel free to comment as you wish about the essays I write. I will maintain those comments that offer kind-hearted and gentle opinion... be it positive or negative. The opinions of your comments will, of course, need to have relevance to the post as well.
