Auslegungsstörfall
Ein Auslegungsstörfall eines Kernkraftwerks, nach der Definition des Bundesamts für Strahlenschutz auch größter anzunehmender Unfall (GAU) bezeichnet, ist der größte Unfall, "für den die Sicherheitssysteme noch ausgelegt sein müssen. Die Sicherheitssysteme müssen in einem solchen Fall gewährleisten, dass die Strahlenbelastung außerhalb der Anlage die nach der Strahlenschutzverordnung geltenden Störfallgrenzwerte nicht überschreitet."

Now the world waits as emergency crews attempt to stop a core meltdown from occurring at the Fukushima Daichi nuclear reactor, already the site of an explosion of the reactor's housing structure.
At 1:30pm EST on March 12, American nuclear experts gathered for a call-in media briefing. While various participants discussed the policy ramifications of the crisis, physicist Ken Bergeron provided most of the information regarding the actual damage to the reactor.

Avaaz is working urgently to "blackout-proof" the protests -- with secure satellite modems and phones, tiny video cameras, and portable radio transmitters, plus expert support teams on the ground -- to enable activists to broadcast live video feeds even during internet and phone blackouts.

British universities ditch Libyan deals
British universities severed links with Colonel Gaddafi’s regime last night as the full extent of how they have profited from Libya was revealed.
A string of universities said they had pulled out of a deal with Tripoli to train hundreds of health workers.
The disclosure came as official statistics showed virtually every university in Britain is being paid by the Libyan government to educate students.
The 110 institutions registered a total of 2,880 students from Libya last year, including judges and police officers - part of Gaddafi’s feared security network.
