RE(2): Dateline NBC TMI story A different evaluation

[Emil Murat <kerrembaev@YAHOO.COM>]

Hoover,



Are you saying that it is reaching, but there is

no proof?



On discussion of reaching or not.



1.  The question is: Is it harmful?



1.1 The river was/is taken everything out to the

Dnepr River => Kiev Water Reservoir => Black Sea.

 

1.2 The river water flow rate is large => large

dilution factor => small/negligent dose factor

associated with the liquid effluents.



2.  Some may argue about the past sediments.....



2.1 Drinking water and fish is checked

(Fish is not in the local diet).



2,2 There is consideration of cleaning of the

river bottom (silt/sediments).



2.3 In surrounding areas fishing was more of the

recreational nature before, anyway.



2.4 Sediments are not a hazard.





Emil.

Even today no one is really sure that radioactive

material from the 

Chernobyl Shelter is reaching the aquafier.  And

the aquafier itself is not 

much below the bottom of the Shelter.  Some of

the core did melt and 

penetrated into the basement of the reactor

building.  While I was there, 

one of the projects was trying to come up with a

method that was accceptable 

to all to determine if there was an outflow of

water from the Shelter into 

the local aquafier.
