Jim-

Thanks for the link above providing a cautious assessment of the radioactive filtering system at Fukushima-1. It's still seems highly optimistic to me that they could process the entire inventory of radioactive contaminated water in the pools and trenches on site by October-November but at least they're making progress. And what do they do with the highly radioactive filters?

My own inane comments above:

"But sometimes it got to get off base."

which I suppose was meant to say:

But sometimes it's good to get off base.

Oh, well, after an interesting day splinting up a broken mower shaft of my 60-year old tractor, it's a wonder I was even that coherent. The splint is holding by the way. And no field mice were injured in the fields being mowed.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
