Boric acid controls the fission rate of uranium.

Learn something new everyday!
I thought they had run out of things to cool it with and were just throwing whatever they could find on it.

I'm sorry.

Lol no need to be sorry bro. I just googled boric acid and that came up.


A volcano erupted earlier today too.

That map is bs because, even though shit is going south at the plants in Japan, it will not be the type of situation where we will recieve fallout.

The US might see a slight increase in background radiation over the next year or so, but nothing that will adversely effect anyone.

[Leung]

Wow.... Northern Japan is under another warning that they may see a second tsunami.

[Pandemic]

Slowly getting word from people. There's still a list of people that we're waiting to hear from though.

According to Italy's National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology, the earthquake's enormous strength shifted the Earth's axis by 25 centimeters (9.8 in). This deviation led to a number of small planetary changes, including the length of a day and the tilt of the Earth.[41] The speed of the Earth's rotation increased, shortening the day by 1.8 microseconds due to the redistribution of Earth's mass.[42]
