Disaster Japanese
Thought this would be of interest.
Japanese I learned in context of the recent earthquake, tsunami and nuclear accident.
Have anything else you have learned these past two weeks? Let me know!
被災地 hisaichi -Disaster-affected area
物資 busshi -material/goods (in this case material from the relief effort)
断水 dansui -Water outage
計画停電 keikaku teiden -Planned/Rolling blackout
瓦礫 gareki -Rubble
原発 genpatsu (= 原子力発電所 genshiryoku hatsudensho) -Nuclear powerplant
原子炉 genshiro -Nuclear reactor
格納容器 kakunou youki -Containment vessel (in this case containing the reactor core)
圧力容器 atsuryoku youki -Pressurized container (conatining the containment vessel)
圧力抑制室 atsuryoku yokuseishitsu -Suppression chamber
燃料棒 nenryou bou -Fuel rod
制御棒 seigyobou -Control rod
炉心溶融 roshin youyuu -core meltdown
蒸発 jouhatsu evaporation （Might've known this before)
放水 housui -Spraying with water
シーベルト Sievert -a unit measuring the effect of radiation on the human body (1 Sievert is 1000 milli sievert, each of which is 1000 micro sievert, etc)
ヨウ素 youso -Iodine
ホウ素 houso -Boron
カリウム kalium -Potassium
Pretty clear what's been on my mind the most, eh...
Will see if I can come up with more and expand later.
Update 4/1
暫定規制値 zanteikiseichi -regulation value (for example for radiation in foods)
