Radiation Levels Cause Robot Failures To Mount At Power Plant

Radiation Levels Cause Robot Failures To Mount At Power Plant thumbnail

This was the latest in the spate of robot failures in the process of decommissioning the plant. Last month, a Toshiba “scorpion” robot, built to tolerate up to 1,000 sieverts of radiation, was unable to withstand the high levels of nuclear toxicity in nuclear reactor No. 2. There have been a number of other instances, causing authorities to think of alternative approaches to the clean-up.

To address the issue, members of Japan’s Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) said the reliance on robots needs to be limited, with the job of collecting the vital data from the locations of melted nuclear fuel being passed on to newer, possibly more successful, technology.

“We should come up with a method that will allow us to investigate in a short period of time and in a more sensible way,” a senior member of the NRA, the government agency, was quoted as saying by local publication Asahi Shimbun on Friday.

While TEPCO and the Japanese government hope to start the process of removing molten nuclear fuel from 2021, they have faced great difficulty in gauging the location, amount and condition of the fuel because of the extreme levels of radiation.

Many suggest redirecting funds to “safe containment” through chemistry and biology, whereas there have also been discussions over the use of artificial intelligence to handle the robots for more precise working. However, it must be noted that whatever little progress has been made in the direction of decommissioning has been a result of the robot usage.

    Time to reincarnate the Kamikaze spirit in the hearts of nuclear industry personnel. For Emperor and Empire! Oh, wait. They’re just a conglomeration of old farts and sexless young adults. Well do it on the chance that you might get lucky before your thingy falls off.

    Oh the priceless sarcastic humor/glee!

    Seriously, you’re a low life, Siss.

    Why don’t you worry about the mental health of your own folks?

    Oh wait, for Siss there is no such thing as “my folks”.

    That’s right,Cloggedheart. I am more the witness than a participant. Your delusion of saving the Aryan Wunderkinds with your submarine coalseams and antigravity waterslides feed your massive ego to surfeit. Which then unleashes the mighty power of your retrograde visions that the past is being repeated for there can be nothing new under the sun of climate change. And I do have “folks” Dutchbag. Inhabitants of the Earth that are not obsessed with growth but understand that balance is Gaia’s way, that Death make possible Life and that unfettered growth ruins everything. Many if not most of these folks are nonhuman, filled with an integrity that folks like you will never know.

    Yeah right. Siss has passed away a long time go and is now “witness” from Cloud 7.

    So, presumably then any living organism who strays too close for roughly 250,000+ Years, will suffer nasty consequences. As someone here says, radiation the gift that keeps on giving

    You absolutely have a point that we in continental Europe are very upbeat about the prospect to be liberated from the guys with the small egos and their overlords with very big egos.

    But take it from Obersturmbahnfuehrer von Cloggenhofen that we will be very nice to Americans who feel European. Takeaway point: Liberation is near.

    Clog, the NL didn’t want to be liberated.
    And since invaders are allowed to vote, it gets harder by the day to get liberation passed.

    @Hello, you are too pessimistic and not patient enough. Great progress was made in Holland. Labour, the #1 responsible for multicult disaster, has been decimated. Wilders is now the second party.

    Resistance is mounting everywhere in Europe. A few minutes ago Martin Sellner finished his Pegida speech in Dresden:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5SzJu9gN44

    (yet again an Austrian in Germany.lol He is very talented and young)

    The problem is that the situation is way too good in Europe. In Weimar nobody had to eat, now everybody is overfed. Wait until the global financial system crashes. Then things will look totally different.

    And don’t exaggerate, for every Muslim in Holland there are 14 Dutch men. Here Muslim scum, threatening to kill all “cancer cheeseheads” (that’s us Dutch):

    They are all like that. Multi-ethnic societies don’t work, nowhere.

    Here Allah Akbar scum in Eastern Germany on a rampage yesterday:

    I can’t wait to have little fun with this vermin and unleash decades of anger. It has been boring peace for far too long in Europe. Won’t be long.

    Ah. Suddenly I understand.
    Cloggie is somebody in Dutch country wearing clogs, which are wooden shoes.
    Well, Clog do you also have a windmill to pump the water?

    My sympathies about the invaders. Maybe this notion
    originated with far left Hillary liberals. That you are required to take in refugees from other countries who
    hate you and make your country like theirs.
    Now all they do
    is break your windows. I hope you are able to take back
    your country from the far left liberals who want to destroy it.

    Over here the same battle caused Trump to win,
    although it’s just a protest middle finger vote to
    the Hillary regime. Trump is not much of a
    president, not so far.

    No, only boring solar panels.

    Don’t worry.

    I know, monitoring the situation closely. 😉

    UH OH. A 2nd post my mistake.
    No way to remove a post this forum.

    “Well, Clog do you also have a windmill to pump the water?”

    Windmills were invented by muslims GSR, they were copied in Europe around 500 years later.

  14. Davy on Mon, 27th Mar 2017 6:56 pm 

    Greg, I think the Persians beat the Muslims to it.

  15. GregT on Mon, 27th Mar 2017 7:20 pm 

    You are correct Davy. Persia did not become Muslim until 17 years after they invented the windmill.

  16. his-tory on Mon, 27th Mar 2017 8:51 pm 

    The first windmill was by a Greek “Heron of Alexandria” in 1 AD.
    650 years before the beast of mecca.

    “The first windmill was by a Greek “Heron of Alexandria” in 1 AD. 650 years before the beast of mecca.”

    Thanks for the info his-tory. That would mean that the Europeans got the “tech” from the post Persian muslims, who got it from the greeks. Good to know.

    I wonder who invented clogs? My guess would be the Neanderthals, or perhaps some hominid even earlier than that.

    Clog, can I join your country?
    I watched your video… you have an actual real country,
    with an actual genuine culture.
    And you got pretty dutch girls. Sign me up!

    Actually also the Dutch are a key part of human progress, going back 599 years had better government and more science. Less fat people, no tattoo’s, and no Wal-Mart with people throwing McDonald’s garbage out their monster trucks.

    When you are over here, on Peak Oil website, you should be living in Texas. With a large
    Cadillac convertible, with musical horn sound, and some steer horns on the hood.

    However I wouldn’t like if the dam caved in and I get drowned.

    Hey, what about your clog dance, and the muzlimz show up? Now that they arrived, and have the right to be there and break your windows? Also they have the right to join in, as citizens, to your clog dance….

    Is it OK if they keep wearing burka’s and dynamite belts, even though it wouldn’t match the other costumes?

    What about those red and black coily wires to
    their dynamite belt, how do you make sure the muzlimz don’t get all tangled up while doing the clog dances?

    Celebrate diversity!

    Even the encyclopedia of the New World Order Wikipedia, run by a Jimmy wales, who is definitely not from Wales, has to admit that it was a glorious Aryan Greek who invented the wind mill, much to the chagrin of the local Muslim fanboys here:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windmill

    Who else?

    Tellingly the first picture in this Wikipedia page shows a Dutch windmill, as most people on this planet associate windmills (not to be confused with wind turbines) indeed with the Dutch, who used a few thousand of these machines to pump large pieces of sea dry from water, next used said machines to cut wood in order to create ships in order to create a global empire, including a territory called Nieuw Amsterdam, sometimes misspelled as “New York”:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clog

    “Clogs are used worldwide and although the form may vary by culture, within a culture the form often remained unchanged for centuries.

    Traditional clogs remain in use as protective footwear in agriculture and in some factories and mines. Although clogs are sometimes negatively associated with cheap and folkloric footwear of farmers and the working class, some types of clogs are considered as fashion wear today, such as Swedish träskor or Japanese geta… The origin of wooden footwear in Europe is not precisely known. De Boer-Olij reference to the high, thick-soled boots of the Greek tragedy actors in Antiquity (the buskin) and to the shoes worn by Roman soldiers (the caligae). However, there is a possibility that the Celtic and Germanic peoples from Southern- and Northern Europe were familiar with some sort of wooden foot covering. Archaeological finds of these are not known. Wooden footwear often ended up as firewood and, because of its nature, wood will rot away in the long run. The oldest surviving wooden footwear in Europe is found in Amsterdam and Rotterdam, the Netherlands, and dates from 1230 and 1280. These finds look very similar to the wooden shoes that are still worn in The Netherlands.”

    1st windmills were from Persia.
