Now the Arnold Schwarzenegger is truly sorry for what he did he told for the Press: “I understand and deserve the feelings of anger and disappointment among my friends and family. There are no excuses and I take full responsibility for the hurt I have caused. I have apologized to Maria, my children and my family. I am truly sorry”

That is nice. But these words help no one in his family. And Schwarzenegger is not disappointing family and the friends but also the people who vote for him.

Arnold also ask the media that they should respect the privacy of his wife and children. He also added that only he deserve the attention and criticism.

Some of the record number are reaches in Ntchez Miss where the water level is at 58,3 feet. And that is only the start as report the National Weather Service. Also report that this behavior can wake up the tornado’s.

Economic and environmental impacts are enormous and according economics experts its more that 2 Billion dollars. 800 dollars in Mississippi alone and 500 dollars in Arkansas. We can also count the damages in Louisiana, Missouri and Memphis in Tennessee.

Angela Merkel, however, that the conflict must end in Libya, but the Germans did not take part in a military operation.

Monday March 14, at 3:01 local time. In Fukushima hydrogen explodes – this is the second explosion in the plant.

According to the plant operator, Tokyo Electric Power Company Co. (TEPCO), three people were injured and seven were missing. The authorities assure us that the chamber of the reactor No. 3 was not destroyed. Is unlikely to penetrate the atmosphere with radioactive substances – Said Japanese government spokesman Yukio Edano.

Japan Reactor Meltdown Danger
Almost five years ago, in July 2007, when there was an earthquake, its epicenter was located 16 km from one of the world’s largest power plant, which is Japanese Kashiwazaki – Kariwa. Spilled into the sea to 1.2 thousand liters of contaminated water. However, there was no serious contamination.

- All of Japan is located in seismic areas. That is why the Japanese have developed technologies to ensure the safe operation of power – says experts from the Institute of Nuclear Physics. And it was not the only in case of the earthquake in seismic areas.

In December 1988, an earthquake in south-western Armenia, killed at least 25 thousand people. Nuclear Power Plant, located 75 km south of the epicenter, was working normally and nothing was destroyed. This was the first Russian nuclear power plant (became operational in 1976) designed to work in seismic areas. In another area of ​​the earthquake in 1999 earthquake in Taiwan, three nuclear reactors in the north of the island automatically turn off. Was restarted two days later.

Reactors California, San Onofre 2 and 3 and Diablo Canyon 1 and 2 operate without interruption during the earthquake on the scale of 6.6 degrees in January 1994 in San Onofre, closest to the power station, was located 112 km from the epicenter of the earthquake.

Power plants on the pillows
- Power plants in seismic areas are built using the so-called spring pads. It looks so vividly that first set the reinforced concrete pillars, which attaches to the spring. Just put them in proper baseplate. If there is a shock competent building the power plant is separated from the substrate. But before you build the power plant are performed very detailed seismic analysis. – Mostly excludes seismic areas.

Before making a decision to build a power plant you check out what was the intensity of tremors in the area, having historically the strongest earthquake. Increased them by an appropriate factor so as to ensure an adequate margin of safety. So set an earthquake occurs approximately once every 10 thousand years. In addition, experts emphasize how power is expected to withstand an earthquake, whose epicenter can be found directly underneath it.

7:41 Reuters reports that in reactor No. 2 in the Fukushima plant cooling system stopped working and the water level dropped.

7:35 The official reports Japan death toll is 1,647 people. 1720 people are missing. This balance probably will increase because the number does not include 2,000 bodies found in Miyagi, or 200-300 of bodies found in Sendai. It is anticipated that the total balance of victims could reach as much as 10 thousand people. Japan death toll constantly changes.

7:30 agency Kyodo reported that Japan confirmed the first death of a citizen of South Korea. The Chinese diplomats can not connect with 100 apprentices from the city of Ishinomaki Miyagi prefecture, however, confirmed that 6,957 Chinese citizens residing in Japan is ok and healthy.

6:51 Restrictions on electricity supply in eight prefectures and cities, including in parts of Tokyo. The savings in the current foreign exchange was suspended several regional trains, some runs on a shortened route. Electricity will be turned off at 3-hourly intervals.

6:17 automobile company, Toyota Motor Co.. said on Monday that because of the catastrophic earthquake will completely halt production in its Japanese factories until at least March 16. Toyota has already announced on Saturday that the production will stop on Monday.

4:41 – After the explosion in Fkushima nuclear power plant – Japan’s Nikkei stock exchange recorded a 6-percent drop in share prices – said the agency Kyodo

4:28 The chamber reactor No. 3 in which are fuel rods is intact – said after Monday’s explosion at a power plant Fukushima and Japanese government spokesman Yukio Edano. He added that it is unlikely to penetrate the atmosphere with radioactive substances.

3:59 Fukushima nuclear power plant workers were injured in Monday’s explosion – the Japanese agency Kyodo reported. According to the plant operator, Tokyo Electric Power Company Co.. (TEPCO), three people were injured and seven were missing. Japanese NHK TV, however, reported that 11 people were injured.

3:45 Japan death toll changes – 2 thousand bodies were found Monday on the banks of Miyagi prefecture – in the morning said the agency Kyodo. Victims are not included in the official Japan death toll of those which was killed in the earth quake.

0:34 The level of radiation in a power plant in Fukushima I raised over the state on the Sunday night to Monday (Monday morning in Japan) – Kyodo agency said. According to company spokeswoman TEPCO, this level is now 751.2 micro sieverts per hour and is slightly larger than the dose obtained from the X-ray in a medical office. However, that exceeds the permitted level. Naoki Kumagai from the Japanese Agency for Industrial and Nuclear Safety, said that the level of radioactivity would be much greater if the core of the reactor threatened melt.

23:27 radioactivity levels in the Onagawa region in Miyagi Prefecture, returned to normal – announced the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Earlier, the IAEA reported that there first announced, the lowest degree of risk. “Currently, the Japanese authorities speculate that the increased levels of radioactivity could be related to the issue of radioactive substances from the Fukushima Daiichi plant. On-site measurements showed no emissions of such substances from the three reactors at the Onagawa” – said the IAEA. Japan fought to keep under the control of nuclear reactors in power plants and Fukushima I Fukushima II, damaged by Friday’s earthquake that accompanied the tsunami dragged the country most serious crisis in its postwar history. Authorities ordered the evacuation of all residents of the 20-kilometer zone around the plant Fukushima I and 10-kilometer zone around the nuclear power plant near by Fukushima II. In total, must leave about 140 thousand people.

10.45 The Onagawa nuclear power plant caught on fire.

10:40 As a result of the earthquake and tsunami strike was killed at least 22 people – the Japanese media reported.

10:13 The United Nations said that a state of emergency erected 30 international rescue teams to help in the fight against Japan’s earthquake.

10:07 Operator Fukushima nuclear power plant No. 1 reported a disruption in the reactor operation.

For the strength of an earthquake 8.9 on the Richter scale occurred on 14:46 local time. After earthquake came a series of aftershocks – more than 20 in two hours. Strongest was with the strength of 7.4 on the Richter scale – occurred about 30 minutes after the main quake.

Shock epicenter was located about 130 km off the east coast of the island of Honshu, and the hypocentre was at a depth of about 10 km.

The most affected city was Sendai in the north of Tokyo. Tsunami wave height of 10 feet flooded the port. Death has suffered at least one person. Eight men were lost when the aftermath of the earthquake sank to the ground – the Japanese agency Kyodo has reported.

The waves destroyed the surface of a dozen houses. Also flooded the runways at the airport in Sendai. This is the worst earthquake for 20 years – said Reuters correspondent in Tokyo.

Authorities shall inform the incoming reports of another injured in Miyagi Prefecture and Tokyo. Fire brigade from Miyagi says at least 20 injured after the tsunami.

Japan’s Prime Minister Naoto Kan urged the public to remain calm. He admitted that the losses caused by the earthquake and tsunami are huge. The government reported that the receives offers of help from other countries. UN said that 30 international rescue teams indicated their willingness to share.
