DAILY LEAKS AT FUKUSHIMA, 5 BILLION Bq STRONTIUM-90, 150 BILLION Bq CESIUM-137

Tepco announced in a press conference near the end of August that 5 Billion Becquerels  (Bq) of Strontium-90 flowed into the Pacific daily throughout 2014.

They also announced 2 Billion Bq of Cesium-137 and 150 Billion Bq of Tritium flow to the sea every single day as well. 

This number change would make one year at the lower 2014 rate add 1,719,150 billion Bq of MEASURED isotopes to the Pacific, or an annual total 1.7 Petabecquerels in a year at this rate.

The bulk of this is tritium.  
TEPCO DID NOT GIVE READINGS FOR ALL RADIOACTIVE ISOTOPES BEING RELEASED FROM DAI'ICHI.  

 WHO TRUSTS TEPCO TO REPORT THE TRUTH?

AT THIS "PRESS RELEASE", THEY HAD TO CHANGE THE TRITIUM FLOW DATA AFTER IT WAS POINTED OUT THE NUMBERS DID NOT MATCH THE FLOW CHART.

TEPCO ALSO ADMITTED THAT LEAKS IN YEARS PRIOR TO 2014 WERE HIGHER, SO 2014 LEAKS WERE LESS THAN 2011, 2012, AND 2013, BUT THE GRAPH PRESENTED ONLY SHOWED THE MUCH HIGHER LEVELS FOR 2013.

According to journalist Ryuichi Kino,TEPCO said this may be due to failings of some sort within the “glass” wall at the sea front. This is an underground wall made in the soil by injecting a solidifying agent to block water flow.

 

TEPCO HAS ADMITTED THAT WALL WAS A FAILURE.   

Underground wall nearly doubled the increasing speed of retained water in plant buildings   

The admissions were extracted by journalists that continued to press TEPCO for an answer.

 This drastically changes the estimated releases to the sea in total.   

4 YEARS FROM FUKUSHIMA COMPARED TO 41 YEARS IN NEVADA

AS WE READ ABOVE, DAI'ICHI IS RELEASING NOT QUITE 2 PETABECQUERELS PER YEAR OF MEASURED RADIATION, SO AT LEAST 8 Ptbq SINCE 2011.

The estimated total radioactivity from weapons testing at the Nevada Test Site was 5,600 petabecquerel , from 100 bombs.

That's about, what, 56 Petabecquerels per bomb?

And, after all this time, the place is still contaminated, still contaminated, STILL CAUSING CANCERS.

Tritium contamination in groundwater was first detected off-site in Nevada in 2009 near where two nuclear tests — the 1968 Benham and 1975 Tybo tests — were conducted in Pahute Mesa in the site’s northwest corner.  

 Most of the early tests, 100 in all, were conducted above ground, beginning with the first one at the Nevada site in 1951 until all testing ended in 1992. 

Winds routinely carried the fallout of these tests directly through St. George and southern Utah.    

Marked increases in cancers, such as leukemia, lymphoma, thyroid cancer, breast cancer, melanoma, bone cancer, brain tumors, and gastrointestinal tract cancers, were reported from the mid-1950s through 1980.

KNOWING THIS, WHAT CAN WE EXPECT, WHAT CAN THE PEOPLE OF JAPAN EXPECT FROM THEIR DISASTER?

 

IS TEPCO MONITORING EVERY RADIOACTIVE ELEMENT?
WE SAW NO DATA ON PLUTONIUM, NEPTUNIUM, AMERICIUM, POLONIUM, COBALT, URANIUM...WELL, YOU KNOW, THE ENTIRE LIST.

THERE WAS ALSO NO DATA FOR THE "FUKUSHIMA FINGERPRINT", CESIUM-134, WAS THERE?

NOR DOES TEPCO MEASURE WHAT THEY'RE SENDING INTO OUR ATMOSPHERE EVERY DAY, NOR WHAT'S EMITTED FROM ALL THEIR MILLIONS OF LEAKY BARRELS AND BLACK BAGS FILLED WITH RADIOACTIVE WATER, SOIL, AND WASTE...NOR DOES THE JAPANESE GOVERNMENT MONITOR WHAT THE DAIICHI PLANT IS LEAKING INTO THE SOIL, INTO THAT ANCIENT AQUIFER RIGHT BENEATH THE REACTORS THERE...NOR WHAT GOES UP IN SMOKE AS THEY CONTINUE TO BURN DEBRIS...AND ARE THEY STILL BURNING THINGS ON THAT BARGE OUT IN THE HARBOR AT NIGHT?
WHAT WAS THAT?


HOW DO THEY MEASURE THINGS LIKE WE READ BELOW FROM HEADLINES IN JAPAN?

    THEY DON'T!
BUT OTHERS DO. 

 Sr-90 density spiked 170 percent at an observation well beside Reactor 2

              

45 Bq/Kg of Cs-134/137 detected from farm soil in Chiba prefecture

5,600 Bq/Kg of Cs-134/137 from vacuum cleaner dust accumulated from this September in Iwaki city 

Significant level of Cs-134/137 measured from 46 of 50 dried persimmons from Fukushima

 

420 Bq/Kg of Cs-134/137 detected from mushroom sold on a shelf in Gunma

Cs-134/137 detected from 9 of 9 pond smelt samples in Gunma

Cs-134/137 detected from 6 of 6 sea bass samples taken Ibaraki offshore

 

 

Cesium-134/137 measured over 200 percent of safety level from Fukushima rice 

 

Cs-134/137 detected double as food safety limit from water purification plant soil in Saitama

Still 102,900 Bq/Kg of Cs-134/137 measured from Matsutake mushroom in Minamisoma city


Radioactive density in tapwater higher in Tokyo than Miyagi in first quarter of 2014

Still high level of radiation from fish] 193,000 Bq/Kg of Cs-134/137 from fish in Fukushima plant port

110,000 Bq/Kg of Cs-134/137 from spotbelly rockfish of Fukushima plant port

AND REMEMBER, BOYS AND GIRLS, OUR CONGRESS HAS PASSED A BILL THAT BANS LABELS WITH COUNTRY OF ORIGIN ON THEM.

WE MUST NOT DISCRIMINATE AGAINST JAPANESE FOOD ITEMS.


NO, THAT, ALL THAT, THEY CAN'T MEASURE...THEY DO NOT MEASURE ALL LEAKING RADIATION AND EVEN ONCE ADMITTED THEY DON'T HAVE INSTRUMENTS THAT WILL MEASURE THAT HIGH!

THEY WERE ALSO CAUGHT MORE THAN ONCE FALSIFYING MEASUREMENTS, FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS.

JUST THIS PAST MONTH, A NEW PLAN...LET'S EVAPORATE IT!

Tepco considers evaporating 800,000 m3 of Tritium water to the air.

NOT MENTIONED?

WATER RUNNING THROUGH THOSE REACTOR BUILDINGS EVERY RAIN THEY HAVE AND THEN OUT ONTO THE GROUND IS ALREADY "EVAPORATING INTO THE AIR", WHILE THE SURFACE WATER IN THE PACIFIC ALSO GETS "EVAPORATED" BY THE SUN EVERY DAY.

THEY'VE GOT THE "EVAPORATION" THING GOING ON NOW.

BUT THEY DON'T MEASURE MUCH OF ANYTHING.

IS ANYONE MEASURING FALLOUT LEVELS IN THAT TSUNAMI DEBRIS HITTING AMERICAN AND CANADIAN AND MEXICAN BEACHES?

IT HAS BEEN IN THE OCEAN COLLECTING MORE RADIATION FOR OVER 4 YEARS NOW.

WHAT ARE THE EXACT PLUTONIUM MEASUREMENTS?
WHO CARES, EITHER AMONG JAPANESE OFFICIALS OR OUR OWN? 
 

WAY BACK IN SEPTEMBER OF 2011: 

SPA Magazine has now uncovered that “several thousand” becquerels of neptunium-239 was found in Date City. neptunium-239 evolves into plutonium-239 that has a half life of 24,200 years. These findings show that Date City has a significant plutonium contamination that neither TEPCO or the government are aware of or admitting. It was previously disclosed by the same magazine that Iitate-Mura had the same kinds of heavy plutonium contamination. 

This is a big problem, plutonium has some serious health risks  and it is being found in large amounts 60km from the plant.

The government and TEPCO have been trying to focus public attention on first iodine-131 and now on cesium-137.

They rarely test for or mention strontium-90 or plutonium-239, two isotopes that are considerably more dangerous.

The nuclear research that discovered the findings is not releasing all of the information or their name.

They stated they want the information to make it to a peer reviewed journal outside Japan first, expressing concerns about the government squashing the information. In light of the current situation in Japan this is an understandable action by the researcher.

JP Gov to consider filing a suit in WTO against S. Korea for banning all fishery products from 8 prefectures.

 

 LET'S HEAR IT FOR SOUTH KOREA FOR PROTECTING THEIR CITIZENS!
WISH AMERICA WOULD! 

RADIATION DATA ERASED BY WOODS HOLE  


The Woods Hole “Our Radioactive Ocean” project has erased years of Fukushima Pacific contamination data from their website.

The website originally contained data from their 2011 monitoring voyage and data for each year up to 2015. As of today the website only contains data for 2013-2014 with some of the 2013 data near Hawaii now missing.  

Since we have been following the ongoing monitoring done by various groups on the Pacific, our article archive provides a documentable paper trail of what used to be there and what work has been done in the past.

Our article from March 2013 when Woods Hole announced the program included a temporary web address for the monitoring program that was later replaced by the official OurRadioactiveOceans.org.

This old address still contains all the data from 2011-2015 but the public would not be directed to this page and would only be found if you had the same old link as on our 2013 article.

**UPDATE** Two other unrelated websites house screen shots of the OurRadioactiveOcean.org site, both taken in 2014 that show the 2011-2012 data was on the site.

MEANWHILE, IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO COVER UP, PRETEND IT'S PART OF THE BEACH, COVER IT WITH SAND, NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW WHAT'S IN THERE.
SAVE MEGABUCKS, JUST HIDE THE EVIDENCE, LET THE TIDES TAKE IT OUT TO SEA, LET RAIN WASH IT INTO THE OCEAN.
"OOPS, WHERE DID THAT COME FROM", RIGHT , TEPCO?  

FUKUSHIMA WORKER'S CANCER TIED TO HIS JOB THERE, RECEIVES COMPENSATION

The 30 year old man with leukemia was awarded work related compensation. His exposure at the plant was 15.7 mSv.

The worker with leukemia had a lower exposure dose than many of the workers at the plant with some as high as 750 mSv and many workers exceeding the 100 mSv limit that prevents further work at the plant.

Complicating the matter further was the lack of enough working dosimeters during the initial disaster.
Some workers did not have one or they shared a dosimeter among a work party.

There are also instances where workers left their dosimeter behind to do dangerous work so they would not end up excluded from further work at the plant.

Even the more routine work later on saw instances of contractors having workers put lead shields over their dosimeter so they could work longer at the plant.

BUT ABOUT 4,000 WORKERS LISTED BY TEPCO ARE "MISSING", REPORTED MISSING BY RELATIVES, SOME, BUT OTHERS JUST "DISAPPEARED" .


WHY AREN'T AMERICA'S MEDIA PICKING UP HEADLINES FROM JAPAN THAT REPORT SUCH THINGS?

IS IT SO WE DON'T SEE WHAT CAN HAPPEN, WHAT IS HAPPENING AND DEMAND AN END TO NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS HERE?

OR IS IT, AS SOME "CONSPIRACY THEORISTS" SAY, JUST A GREAT WAY TO MAKE SURE MILLIONS DIE FROM RADIATION HERE IN AMERICA?

THAT IS A SERIOUSLY SICK CHARGE...GENOCIDE... BUT SEEING WHAT WE'VE SEEN IN THE PAST, LOOKING AT OUR OWN NEVADA TEST SITE, HANFORD FACILITY, WIPP, LOS ALAMOS, THREE MILE ISLAND, THE SAVANNAH RIVER FACILITY, YANKEE, TURKEY CREEK, ALL OF THEM...WHETHER INTENTIONALLY OR NOT, THOSE LEAKY TOWERS CARRY DEATH ON THE WIND, SEND IT INTO SOIL AND WATER, AND WE PUT UP WITH IT, SO MAYBE WE DESERVE WHAT WE GET?


MAYBE SOME DO...LIKE THOSE WHO COVER UP THESE FACTS WE FIND FROM OUTSIDE SOURCES. 

BUT NOT THOSE OF US WHO ARE SCREAMING FOR AN END TO THE MADNESS.  

WE GET LESS THAN 15% OF ALL ENERGY FROM NUKES...WE DON'T NEED IT.  

WE NEED TO MAKE THEM BURY THOSE SITES FOREVER, FIND WAYS TO STOP THE LEAKS, BUT THE VERY ONES WHO GAVE US NUKES ADMITTED LONG AGO THAT THERE IS NO WAY TO MAKE THEM SAFE, NO WAY TO KEEP THEM FROM LEAKING OUT INTO OUR ENVIRONMENT, NO WAY TO KEEP CANCERS FROM HAPPENING BECAUSE OF NUCLEAR ENERGY OR NUCLEAR BOMBS. 

STILL, WE COULD STOP PRODUCING NUCLEAR WASTE, CLOSE ALL THE PRESENT FACILITIES, NEVER AGAIN USE THAT GLOW-IN-THE-DARK MONSTER FOR ANY REASON.  

WE WERE WRONG TO BRING SUCH A THING INTO THE WORLD, AND WE ARE WRONG TO CONTINUE "FEEDING" IT.
