Japan: map of the catastrophe of March 11 and graphics

[dedeleco]

This card is an irradiation possibility assessment unrelated to reality because without any on-site measurement:
Estimates of Possible Exposure Define US Evacuation Zone

The American Embassy recommended on March 17 that Americans within 50 miles of the Fukushima reactors evacuate. The recommendation was based on an analysis by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission that predicts possible radiation levels assuming conditions at the plant degrade. It is not based on current radiological conditions. It includes factors like whether containment vessels remain intact and weather patterns, among others. Here are the results of the analysis on March 16

In addition the dose becomes constant at 10 rems away and therefore the whole planet undergoes 10 rems, dose received by each human being in his life in reality !!

This fact proves that this map is meaningless and based on nothing real, an imaginary assessment, probably copied from Chernobyl.

See GreenPeace with a valid accurate evaluation which is not negligible but which did not kill the population of 1 million Japanese in a few days !!

The official info does not speak of time apart from a year and that one can eat the fish raised in this 100 times radioactive water !!!

A lie, because the details of the complex dose calculation are not given, but probably forgetting the effect of huge concentration of iodine in the thyroid !!!

And we will talk about excess thyroid disease in Japan in 10 years !!

Low radioactive water released to sea

Tokyo Electric Power Company is releasing radioactive wastewater into the sea from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant as part of efforts to stabilize the troubled plant.

The utility started releasing 11,500 tons of wastewater on Monday evening.

The company says the level of iodine-131 in the wastewater is about 100 times the legal limit. But the plant operator says if people ate fish and seaweed caught near the plant every day for a year, their radiation exposure would be 0.6 millisievert. It adds the annual permissible level for the general public is one millisievert.

Wastewater will be released to make room for highly contaminated water from the No.2 reactor complex.
Radioactive water 100,000 times the normal level in an operating reactor has been found in the turbine building. This is also hammering efforts to cool the damaged reactors.

Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano says the government approved the operation plan, as removing the water from the No.2 reactor is a more urgent matter.

Edano calls the operation an emergency measure to ensure the safety of the plant. He adds that the government told the utility to monitor radioactivity in the seawater and closely track the environmental impact.

Too much info kills the info and the NY Times is under fire at the moment.

On the side of the village of Litate there are 2 megabecquerels per m2 (54 microcuries) it's not nothing! according to http://www3.nhk.or.jp/daily/english/02_13.html that's 7 to 20 megabecquerels per m2 (190 to 540 microcuries).

Anyway, you have to die of something .

[dedeleco]

We die more or less quickly but it is worrying these official values ​​straddling the evacuation threshold, especially since the thyroid concentrates this iodine well below, with diseases especially for children, and those who have not taken d 'iodine before. !!
High level in I but short period !!:
They are not close to eating this rice, since there is also cesium.

AEA reports lower radiation levels in Ilitate

The International Atomic Energy Agency says radiation levels in a village 40 kilometers from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant have dropped below its criterion for evacuation.

The IAEA announced the result of its analysis on Friday.

The village of Itate, to the northwest of the plant, is outside the 20-kilometer exclusion zone and the 20-to-30-kilometer alert zone where the Japanese government advises voluntary evacuation.

The IAEA said the average level of radioactive iodine-131 in Iitate's soil was 7 million becquerels per square meter between March 19th and 29th, based on 15 readings by Japanese authorities. It said this was below its evacuation criterion.

On Wednesday, the UN nuclear agency said 20 million becquerels of iodine-131 per square meter were detected in Iitate during a similar period, using data obtained by Japanese authorities. It said this was twice its evacuation level.

The IAEA says levels of radioactive substances could change depending on the situation at the Daiichi plant, as well as wind, rain, and other weather conditions. The agency is advising the Japanese government to carefully assess soil data.

[Leo Maximus]

A good part of the children have been evacuated, it seems to me. For farmers it’s fucked up forever.

On abandoned lands we can put wind turbines and photovoltaics.

[Gaston]

I offer photovoltaics, with "special gamma ray" sensors oriented towards the ground.
It will increase the yield and maybe even produce at night

[Christophe]

Ah ah ah Gaston!

Not bad, Remondo.
As they say, it's not easy to hear from them.

[dedeleco]

it is especially a copy in French of the Japanese infos which manage to infiltrate, is sometimes with infos which should have been known as of the beginning of March 11:
and it still leaks by small jets of 45 tonnes very radioactive cesium !!

Strontium-tainted water leak suspected

The operator of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant says about 45 tons of strontium-tainted water may have leaked out of a water treatment device, with a portion of it spilling out of the facility.

Tokyo Electric Power Company says the water may contain high levels of radioactive strontium. Strontium causes internal radiation exposure.

The company is trying to determine whether the water reached the sea.

The utility said at about 11:30 am on Sunday a water leak was spotted in a device to remove salt from contaminated water from which radioactive material had already been removed.

It said the leak was stopped after the device was turned off, but at least 45 tons of water containing radioactive materials may have leaked out, with some portion possibly reaching a ditch outside the facility.

The level of radioactive cesium had been reduced to 45 becquerels per cubic centimeter after the treatment. But the water is believed to have contained 130,000 becquerels per cubic centimeter of radioactive strontium.

The ditch connects to the sea about 600 meters away. The power company is piling up sand bags in the ditch to prevent the water from flowing to the sea.

The water is used to cool down the reactors in the power plant and the utility says the leak does not pose any problems for the process.

TEPCO: Radioactive water may have leaked into sea

The operator of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant says radioactive water leaked from a water treatment facility may have reached the sea through a gutter.

Tokyo Electric Power Company says slightly elevated levels of cesium were detected on Sunday in seawater around an outlet from the gutter.

Earlier in the day, workers found that at least 45 tons of water had leaked from a desalinization device at the plant. The water then apparently seeped out of the building and flowed into the gutter.

The leaked water also contained radioactive strontium at levels that could pose health risks in case of internal exposure. TEPCO says it will take about 2 weeks to complete its analysis of the situation.

Before the leak was spotted, workers had last checked the water treatment device 21 hours ago and found no problems.

A TEPCO official says the company did not do enough to contain the leak because it had assumed the water would stay within the building. The official says it will take measures to ensure better detection of leaks.

Wednesday 30 November 2011

The governor of the prefecture of Fukushima, Yuhei Sato, will ask Tepco to decommission the 10 nuclear reactors on its territory, 6 of which are located in the Fukushima Dai-ichi plant.

Yuhei Sato said his administration will demand the decommissioning of all the reactors. He wants to prioritize the safety of children. He is the first governor of a prefecture housing nuclear power plants to request the decommissioning of atomic installations.

Sunday 27 November 2011
Not really easy to find information on the Fukushima Power Plant. It seems that the Japanese media are avoiding the subject while new rice crops show high concentrations of Cesium. Thus the counters reached 1 becquerels in the district of Onami (Fukushima prefecture) and five producers are banned from marketing their rice which has become too dangerous for humans.

Tokyo has just beaten a new record, that of the level of Cesium-134 and 137. Indeed, during these last days, large quantities of radioactive dust fell down on the Japanese capital and particularly in Hitachinaka and Yamagata.

Saturday November 19 2011
In the 3 months after the disaster, the number of births in Fukushima Prefecture decreased by 25% or 1 fewer newborns. The number of newborns in the cities of Tokyo, Chiba and Kanagawa also decreased by 000 units compared to the same period last year.

Professor Akihito Nakai of Nippon Medical School said that many women preferred to move away from the perimeter of the Central to give birth to their child. We can only congratulate their choice.

Thursday, November 17th
Radiation levels above government standards were again detected on a rice crop.
The 154 rice farmers in the Oonami district (50 km from the power plant) have been instructed to stop their deliveries. a ton of this rice has already been sold in stores. The Government does not know if this rice has already been bought by consumers.

The prefectural authorities have reported a level of radioactive Cesium reaching 630 becquerels per kilogram and exceeds the already high limit set at 500 becquerels by Tokyo.
