Documental excelente del desastre de Chernobyl que arrojo 500 veces mas radiación que la bomba de Hiroshima. Imágenes y entrevistas con los agentes "políticos, militares, científicos, reporteros" que vivieron y lucharon con todos los medios para que el desastre no fuera peor.
100 kg de Plutonio siguen en el interior del armazón construido, cantidad que si fuera liberada podria matar 100 millones de personas.

Japan Claims Modest Gains in Bid to Cool Nuclear Plant

By ANDREW MORSE
Yumiko Ono reports from Tokyo on the confusion there over the differing assessments of the radiation danger from the damaged Fukushima Daiichi power plant. Plus, Japanese officials scramble to dump water on the damaged reactors to cool them down.
.TOKYO—Japanese authorities claimed modest gains Thursday in their efforts to tame a heavily damaged nuclear-power plant that has caused worries around the world, but increasing international skepticism and troublesome levels of radiation on the ground underscored the ongoing difficulties.

Authorities attempted to douse the troubled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear-power complex with some 100 tons of seawater on Thursday using helicopters and fire trucks, an urgent effort to combat rising temperatures in two storage pools for spent nuclear fuel. Radiation levels at the site fell slightly.

A Tepco executive, who asked not to be named, said the operations to drench the facility "were a good first step" in the efforts to bring reactors under control. Another company executive said the operations "produced some results."

Much of the water missed its target, however, and the effort was hampered by high radiation and technical difficulties. Site personnel also failed to reconnect the plant to the electric grid as they had hoped, an effort that would have allowed them to restart cooling pumps. The ongoing difficulties suggested that bringing down the temperatures of the damaged reactors and the spent-fuel pools could be a long and difficult task.

In one potential sign of the skepticism toward Japan's efforts, U.S. Defense Department officials said Thursday they had begun surveillance drone aircraft flights over Fukushima Daiichi to get their own data. The move followed comments Wednesday by U.S. officials that indicated they are no longer relying solely on information from the Japanese government or Tokyo Electric Power Co., the operator of the nuclear complex.

Late Wednesday, the U.S. State Department said U.S. citizens in Japan should consider leaving and them to defer travel there. The U.S. has also established a 50-mile "no-go" zone around the site, much wider than Japan's roughly 12-mile zone.

Still, U.S. and Japanese officials Thursday played down the perception that the two countries are in disagreement, saying they are talking regularly and that the U.S. continues to help Japan with its unfolding crisis.

Nuclear physicist James Acton and WSJ's Lee Hotz discuss whether Japan can avoid nuclear disaster as workers scramble to cool the overheating spent fuel at the Fukushima Daiichi power plant.
.The battle to bring the plant under control came as Japan continues to grapple with the effects of last week's massive earthquake and ensuing tsunami. Japanese police said Thursday the death toll reached 5,692 people, with nearly 10,000 missing and many parts of the country still difficult to reach.

The Japanese yen hit a new record high against the U.S. dollar, which was at 78.85 yen in midday U.S. trading in New York, reflecting its deep creditor status and belief that Japanese investors will sell foreign assets to bring home money needed for rebuilding.

Tokyo Electric, known as Tepco, warned that Tokyo could face broad blackouts as its wrestles with an electricity supply gap of as much as 25%. But the utility eased back on its warnings after power consumption apparently dropped. The capital city slipped past midnight without trouble.

Japan's nuclear crisis deepened as a fresh fire broke out in a quake-ravaged nuclear complex and expats fled Tokyo over warnings of radiation leaks. WSJ's Mariko Sanchanta and Yumiko Ono discuss.
.Long lines of Americans formed at Tokyo's Haneda Airport. The American Embassy, which stressed the evacuations were voluntary, flew in two planes to evacuate citizens to Seoul. Additionally, the British Embassy and Hong Kong immigration authorities set up tables at Haneda to answer questions from concerned nationals.

Damage and potential overheating at three of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear complex's six reactors—and subsequent worries about spent fuel rods stored in the buildings housing reactors No. 3 and No. 4—have gripped the world and cast a cloud over nuclear growth plans. Authorities are also monitoring warming at reactors No. 5 and No. 6, which are inactive.

Authorities haven't yet determined how much of the water dumped Thursday reached the reactors, particularly the severely troubled storage pool at the No. 3 reactor, which has emerged as a priority. Reactor No. 3 automatically shut down at the time of the earthquake but was damaged in an explosion. The blast exposed the spent fuel rods stored there.

"The spent fuel storage pools at Nos. 3 and 4 are not being cooled, and if this condition continues we are concerned radioactive material could leak outside," Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano said at a press conference Thursday. "We are emphasizing the state of the pools and prioritizing No. 3 for cooling."

Getting water into the pool that houses the fuel rods could cool the radioactive material, giving officials more time to restore power to the plant.

Japanese television showed two Chinook helicopters at the ocean-front plant each scooping 7.5 tons of water from the ocean per carry, dumping water on the plant twice. To avoid exposure to radiation, the helicopters flew at relatively high altitudes, making it difficult to hit the targets. The choppers were equipped with lead shielding and the crew wore protective suits.

Officials at Tepco said a small plume of steam generated by the dump suggested that at least some of the water made it into the storage pool. A Tepco spokesman said radiation levels fell to 3,750 microsieverts per hour from 3,786 microsieverts per hour.

Separately, police and military fire trucks used water cannons to shoot 70 more tons of water at the facility, according to the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency. The operation was delayed by elevated radiation levels and ended shortly after 8 p.m.

Five fire trucks from the Self Defense Forces, the name for Japan's military, were used in the procedure. Those trucks were equipped with high-pressure water cannons.

However, high radiation prevented a police fire truck from getting close enough to the power station to be effective. Much of the 40 tons it sprayed fell without hitting the facility, according to the Metropolitan Police Department.

Radiation levels again fell slightly after the fire truck mission, dropping to 3,586 microsieverts per hour from 3,690 microsieverts per hour, according to a spokesman for the nuclear agency.

Authorities also said they hadn't reconnected the stricken plant to the main electricity grid via power cables, as they had hoped to do by Thursday. Such a connection could possibly allow them to restart pumps used in the cooling system. The state of the pumps used in those systems hasn't been confirmed yet.

At a late-night press conference, a Tepco official said the company "wanted to make as much progress as possible" toward connecting the facility to the electrical grid on Friday. He remained vague about the utility's prospects.

Atacocha se acerca a su soporte de 1,10 del 7 de junio de 2010; sobrevendida pero aún no rebota. Puede que haya alguna información detrás; a lo mejo la OPA de Milpo no viene en buenos términos; el elevado PER también puede estar haciendo su parte. Aún no la he comprado.

No lo se si me vas a entender pero igual te respondo.
Al decir piso no estoy diciendo que es el mínimo valor que ha tenido esta acción en los últimos años sino lo que estoy diciendo es que el ultimo ciclo de ondas que ha tenido esta acción empezó con 1.10 y es muy difícil que lo rompan el cual no significa que sea imposible tampoco.

[Victor VE]

Sí, lo entiendo, lo has explicado varias veces. Gracias por el dato nuevamente.
