We now know that my friend was right -- there has been a partial meltdown at Fukushima, the seawater emergency fix does mean that there will be large, long-term releases of radiation, and this morning we have just learned that the fuel rods at one reactor have been exposed to air again, making a complete meltdown once again possible.
At the moment, the seawater is being diverted from the ocean to cool an aging natural-gas power plant.
The total gas consumed at the end of the seawater experiment is found to be less than the gas consumed at the end of the pure water experiment.
He makes his own salt from the seawater at his back door, uses that salt to cure legs of local pigs to make his own ham.
As one private expert who sometimes advises the N.S.A. on this technology put it: "This means that if you can't desalinate all the seawater at once, you get to hold on to the ocean until you figure it out".
Calcareous globigerina ooze occurs in the shallower parts of the South Pacific, the dissolving power of the seawater at great depths being sufficient to dissolve calcareous material to such an extent that these oozes are not generally found at depths in excess of about 15,000 feet (4,600 metres).
The seawater at Addur is known for its extremely bad condition, mainly caused by industrial and residential waste disposals and high organic contents and bioactivity.
Using the continuity conditions at the interface between the seawater and the seabed, the closed-form Green's functions for the seawater and the seabed in the frequency wavenumber domain are determined.
We also calculated the δ13CDIC value in the seawater at each step assuming that the δ13C value of the remineralized organic carbon, added to the box by the anaerobic respiration, was −26 ‰ based on the δ13Corg records in the Mudstone Unit (Saitoh et al. 2014a).
