  • Deadly areas of radiation found at Fukushima nuclear plant, WJLA ABC 7 by John Metcalfe, August 2, 2011:

    Remember the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant? That place is still so contaminated that scientists are uncovering new and amazing things every day in unexplored locations. [...]

    The deadly Easter eggs, located near a ventilation stack, are generating radiation on the magnitude of 10 sieverts per hour. Actually, the levels are higher than that, but the dosimeters the Japanese are using stop at 10. [...]

    The Japanese nuclear team observed these fizzing pockets from afar with a gamma camera [...]

    Highest radiation to date at Fukushima plant another hurdle for TEPCO, Asahi, August 3, 2011:

    [...] The fact that such high levels of radiation [at least 10 sieverts per hour] were detected near piping connected to the outer atmosphere is further evidence that radioactive materials have spewed from the crippled reactors at much higher levels than previously believed. [...]

    Because that level of radiation was detected on the outside of the piping, the level inside the piping could be even higher. [...]

    TEPCO officials had assumed that high levels of radiation would mainly be detected within the reactor buildings containing the cores where the meltdowns occurred. [...]

      • Fukishima is not the only reactor there with big problems this one could be worse still.

        • Why is everyone still asleep? when I ask people what they think about Fukushima they say its over now. When i tell them its ongoing, they say that there is nothing they can do about it.

          WAKE UP PEOPLE

          Only public pressure will force things to change, that means you talking about it to others and putting pressure on your local politicians to act. Politicians only think about your vote to get reelected, let them know they wont get it.

            I wonder if they would still say that if it somehow caused the cancellation of their Sunday football game?

              • The latest disturbing development in the Fukushima crisis is that the Japanese government is trucking the contaminated nuclear waste from the site to locations all over Japan. Apparently the idea behind doing this is to prevent parents of dying children from suing for damages. The reasoning is that when these children are compared to mortality rates of similar age groups in distant areas of Japan, the "unaffected" area rates will be no different, and the suing parents will therefore have no proof that the Fukushima disaster was responsible. How sinister is that?!

                This video is a must see, and explains what is going on.

                • Recreating Fukushima all over again?



                  [...] Tokyo decided to process rubble from disaster-hit areas after detecting only 133 becquerels of radioactive cesium per kilogram of ash generated after rubble was incinerated [...]

                  [D]ue to radiation fears, little progress has been made in efforts to dispose of such waste. [...]

                  The metropolitan government intends to transport approximately 500,000 metric tons of rubble to facilities in the capital and dispose of them over a 2 1/2-year period from this coming October to March 2014. [...]

                  The waste will be separate into burnable and unburnable items. Burnable waste will be incinerated [...]

                  Tokyo Metropolitan Government will regularly measure the amount of radiation in the incinerated ash [...]

                  • Why dont they bury it? If the radiation isnt in the ash doesnt that mean it must transfer to the air? If burning it were the right answer why wouldnt every country burn their radioactive waste?

                          • There is nothing left that we could do...

                            Fukushima worker confesses(Twitter account Happy20790) tweets useful information daily. [...]

                            In short, he says Tepco started reducing the number of workers because they can not do anything for the reactors anymore. [...]

                            He explains, the next thing to do is to check the state of container vessels pressure vessels, define the actual point of the leakage of contaminated water, and action to stop the leakage, but there is zero plan / idea how to manage it.

                            The interiors of the buildings are extremely radioactive and nobody can officially go into reactor 3 [...] The only thing they can do is to analyze the gas from inside of the container vessels.

                            Thus nothing can be done by human anymore. They can only clean debris, take away broken operation floor, maintain the water purifying system, setting new tanks etc..

                            • This is a global crisis and should not just be left to Tepco and the Japanese government. Maybe if our governments would stop bombing civilians, stop pepper spraying protesters and stop stealing our money they could do something about it.

                              • Strong quake hits near Fukushima nuclear site

                                Magnitude-5.9 quake hits near Japan nuclear site, AP, Nov. 23, 2011 at 3:10 pm ET:

                                A strong earthquake struck Thursday morning near the Japan nuclear power plant hit by a powerful tsunami earlier this year. There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries.

                                The U.S. Geological Survey said the magnitude-5.9 quake struck shortly before 4:30 a.m. local time. It hit 62 miles (101 kilometers) east of the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant. The quake struck at a depth of 23 miles (37 kilometers). There was an upgrade to 6.1 reported
