Japan nuke company caught using employees to ask questions during televised hearing — Told to impersonate private citizens who want reactors restarted

President of Japan Nuclear Operator May Resign Over E-Mails, New York Times, July 7, 2011:

The president of a nuclear plant operator said on Thursday that he may resign as a result of a scandal over faked e-mails that has added a bizarre new twist to a decision whether to allow Japan’s idled reactors to restart in the wake of the Fukushima disaster. [...]

The governor, Yasushi Furukawa, has become the center of national attention as he deliberates over the reactors [...] As the first governor to face such a decision since the March disaster, Mr. Furukawa is widely seen as a bellwether of sorts for how other governors may decide. [...]

[T]he mayor of Genkai, the plant’s host community, told Kyushu Electric that he was withdrawing his previous support of the restart. The mayor, Hideo Kishimoto, told reporters he felt like he was “being mocked” by the company. [...]

Kyushu Electric Power Busted for Using Shills to Promote Pro Nuke Views at Genkai Hearing, EX-SKF, July 6, 2011:

[...] From Yomiuri Shinbun (3:27AM 7/7/2011):

Toshio Manabe, president of Kyushu Electric Power Company, held a press conference on July 6 and admitted that when a hearing organized by the METI took place in June regarding the restart of the Reactors 2 and 3 at Genkai Nuclear Power Plant (in Genkai-cho, Saga Prefecture), his company had instructed the subsidiaries and part of its own employees to send email messages during the hearing expressing support for re-starting the plant.

President Manabe apologized, saying “It eroded the confidence in the hearing. I apologize wholeheartedly.” In response to the Yomiuri reporting, he indicated that he may consider resigning over the issue.

The hearing was held on June 26 in Saga City, attended by 7 “representatives” of the Saga residents handpicked by the national government. The questions and answers session was broadcast live on the cable TV and on the Internet. Opinions and questions were sought via emails and faxes, and part of the emails and faxes were discussed in the program.

According to Kyushu Electric, the instruction was sent out via email from a manager-class employee at the Nuclear Power Generation Division of Kyushu Electric headquarters to one employee at each of the 4 subsidiaries and Kyushu Electric’s 3 nuclear operations (Genkai Nuke Plant, Sendai Nuke Plant [in Kagoshima Prefecture], and Sendai Nuclear Plant Office). It required the recipients to send in opinions and questions from the pro-restart point of view that would elicit sympathy from the Saga residents, and to connect on the net from their private homes.

Yomiuri even has a photo of the said email instruction. And it says, in part:

[...] They should access the website for the live net broadcasting, and as the hearing progresses, take the stance of a private citizen who approves of re-starting the [Genkai] reactors, and send in the sincere opinions and questions that will elicit the sympathy from the residents in Saga Prefecture.

3 men exposed to over 250 millisieverts — TEPCO claims no ‘immediate’ impact on health

Tepco Says 3 More Workers Exposed to Radiation Exceeding Limit, Bloomberg, July 7, 2011:

[...] The male workers, in their 20s, were exposed to levels beyond the limit of 250 millisieverts, Junichi Matsumoto, a general manager at the utility known as Tepco, told reporters in Tokyo today. Medical examinations showed the exposure had no immediate impact on their health, he said. [...]

Trouble at Reactor No. 3: Unable to inject nitrogen in containment vessel to prevent hydrogen explosion

Nitrogen injection could be delayed at Fukushima, NHK, July 7, 2011:

The operator of the troubled Fukushima Daiichi power plant is having trouble injecting nitrogen gas into one of the reactors to prevent a hydrogen explosion.

Tokyo Electric Power Company on Wednesday examined the No.3 reactor to see if it can connect injection pipes to the containment vessel. A camera-mounted robot was used for the operation because [of] high radioactive levels [...]

There is a growing likelihood that the planned nitrogen injection will be delayed.

Nuclear reactor on North Carolina college campus leaking radiation since last Friday — Public not told because radioactivity was “compared to what someone might receive getting an x-ray”


Minor water leak reported at NC State’s nuclear reactor, WRAL, July 7, 2011:

North Carolina State University officials said Thursday that there is a low-level water leak in the liner that surrounds the campus nuclear reactor, but that it poses no danger to the public.

University spokesman Keith Nichols described the leak, discovered Saturday, as the size of a pinhead and that it was leaking about 10 gallons per hour from the 15,000-gallon tank. [...]

Nichols said it would be considered a public threat if the reactor were leaking at 350 gallons per hour.

The university is in the process of repairing the leak [...]

NC State says nuclear reactor leak poses no threat, WTVD, July 07, 2011:

[...] The reactor is housed in the Burlington Nuclear Engineering Laboratory. The building is located at 2500 Katharine Stinson Drive. [...]

NC State said the leak was suspected on Friday and confirmed on Saturday. It said the public was not informed sooner because of the low level of danger. The amount of radioactivity was compared to what someone might receive getting an x-ray.

The school says the leak is so small that special equipment is required to detect its location in the reactor’s lining. The company that can do that will not be in Raleigh until next week. In the meantime, the leak is being closely monitored. The reactor has been shut down since the leak was discovered.

“Now They Tell Us” Series

June 30 meeting revealed depleted uranium storage facility burned after quake — Contained 1,800 lbs. of DU

“Now They Tell Us” Series: Depleted Uranium Storage Facility Next to Cosmo Oil Refinary In Chiba Burned after Earthquake Hit on March 11, EX-SKF, July 3, 2011:

From Chiba Nippo (7/1/2011):

[Headline:] Depleted Uranium Storage Facility Also Burned when Cosmo Oil’s Gas Tank Exploded

On June 30 Chiba Prefectural Assembly held meetings of 2 standing committees [...] it was revealed that the LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) tank fire and explosion at Cosmo Oil Refinery in Ichihara City, Chiba also burned the adjacent depleted uranium storage facility. There was no leak of radioactive materials, according to the committee.

The Chiba prefectural fire department disclosed that the depleted uranium storage facility’s roof was burned down because of the fire and explosion of the LPG tank at Cosmo Oil. The depleted uranium storage facility belongs to Chisso Petrochemical [subsidiary of Chisso Corporation].

According to the fire department, the storage facility is licensed by the national government as “nuclear fuel usage location”, and had 765 kilograms of depleted uranium that contained 0.3% of radioactive material [uranium]. The depleted uranium is used as catalyst for gas production. [...]

New long-term roadmap says removal of melted nuclear fuel may begin in 10 years… “If technology essential for the work has been developed”

Govt., TEPCO draw roadmap to reactor decommission, NHK, July 09, 2011:

[...] NHK has obtained the mid- and long-term roadmap which was presented when officials from the operator of the Fukushima plant, government officials in charge of nuclear safety, and manufacturers of nuclear reactors met last week. [...]

The work is considered to be the most important phase in the decommissioning process. The roadmap indicates that removal will start in 2021 if technology essential for the work has been developed before that.

The timeline is believed to have been set based on measures taken following the 1979 Three Mile Island accident in the United States. But unlike the US case, as reactor containment vessels were damaged at the Fukushima complex, they need to be fixed and filled with water.

Fukushima plant evacuated after major quake hits northeastern Japan — Largest aftershock since massive tsunami

Major quake strikes northeastern Japan, MSNBC, July 9, 2011:

A major earthquake struck in the Pacific Ocean off northeastern Japan on Sunday, triggering a small tsunami and causing the temporary evacuation of the stricken Fukushima nuclear plant.

The U.S. Geological Service said the quake was 7.0 magnitude, the largest aftershock since the devastating March 11 earthquake, which measured at 9.0. [...]

Tsunami advisories issued after quake, NHK, July 10, 2011:

[...] The agency issued tsunami advisories for coastal regions of Iwate, Miyagi, and Fukushima prefectures at 10AM. [...]

The agency observed the first wave off Miyagi Prefecture at 10:28 AM. It estimates 50 centimeter tsunami will hit coastal areas.

Tokyo Electric Power Company says it has found no problems with its Fukushima Daiichi and Daini nuclear plants as a result of the quake. It says it ordered its workers to move away from the coast.

Los Alamos lab trying to prevent ‘Cold War-era contamination’ from coming closer as 2 major canyons above lab suffered fire damage

LANL Closes Trails On Lab Property To Public, KOAT, July 9, 2011:

[...] According to [Chris Cantwell, the lab's associate director for environment, safety, health and quality] only one acre burned on lab property, but two major canyons above the lab suffered damage.

Cantwell said lab crews had also begun installing additional storm water controls and monitoring systems in canyon bottoms where trace Cold War-era contamination may be present. The controls were aimed at slowing the ability of sediments to move down canyon.

NRC admits it routinely does not share reports from nuke industry with public — Including info about radiation leaks

NRC, nuke industry criticized for skirting public, Associated Press, July 10, 2011:

When a nuclear watchdog group asked the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for a study on leaks of radioactive water at the Vermont Yankee plant, it was told the NRC had seen the report but had never officially taken custody of it – so it wasn’t public. [...]

An NRC spokeswoman confirmed the agency routinely sees industry reports that it does not share on its public web site. [...]

Experts expect more Missouri River levee failures, Associated Press, July 9, 2011:

The Corps predicts that the river will eventually rise high enough to flow over some 18 to 70 levees, mostly in rural areas of southeast Nebraska, southwest Iowa and Missouri. Other levees will become saturated, and water can erode their foundations, seep underneath or find other flaws to exploit. [...]

Even stronger urban floodwalls and levees can falter against the destructive force of floodwaters. As a precaution, officials in Omaha and across the river in Council Bluffs, Iowa, have developed plans to evacuate roughly 40,000 people from areas near the river in case a levee fails. [...]

Elderly Fukushima woman kills self ‘to evacuate to grave’, Mainichi, July 9, 2011:

- A 93-year-old woman, dejected over the ongoing nuclear crisis, was found hanged at her home in Minamisoma, Fukushima Prefecture, in late June, leaving behind suicide notes that said in part, “I will evacuate to the grave. I am sorry.”

After hydrogen explosions at the Fukushima No. 1 Nuclear Power Plant in March, the woman was forced to evacuate to the house of her second daughter in Soma and was later hospitalized for two weeks before returning May 3 to her house in Minamisoma, subject to a possible emergency evacuation order due to the nuclear disaster.

“If we have to evacuate again, elderly people (like me) will become a drag,” her suicide note said. [...]

Her four suicide notes addressed to her family, ancestors and a close neighborhood friend were later found in the house. “My heart is in my mouth everyday due to news of the nuclear power plant,” she wrote to her family. [...]

Her son and his wife told the Mainichi, “Please tell your readers why she killed herself.”

[Pierre Monteux]

I had been searching for real news on the crisis, but I didn't expect to find it here.

It is interesting the amount of information that has been withheld. I wonder how much we still don't know.

The actions of almost all parties involved in this have appalled me. Shame on Japan for not properly evacuating. Shame on Tepco, for well, everything. Shame on the US for re-writing the rules of what is "safe".

To avoid hijacking this useful thread, I'll keep my thoughts brief. We do need to phase out fail-disaster systems. However, each area has greater problems that plague them. Greed and Power. Unfortunately both of those lead to politics, control politics, and have the final say in the whole mess.

Thankyou blackchisel97 for posting up these articles. It is too easy to forget (or too hard to find) things when the media has decided a story is over.

“Muzzled”: Fukushima teacher quits after stopped from alerting students about radiation exposure — Asst. principal says “I don’t think the children are safe either”

Fukushima Teacher Muzzled on Radiation Risks for School Children, Bloomberg by Takahiko Hyuga, July 28, 2011:

[... O]n a recent July morning, school children in Fukushima prefecture were taking off their masks and running around playgrounds in T-shirts, exposing them to a similar amount of annual radiation as a worker in a nuclear power plant.

Toshinori Shishido, a Japanese literature teacher of 25 years, had warned his students two months ago to wear surgical masks and keep their skin covered with long-sleeved shirts. His advice went unheeded, not because of the weather but because his school told him not to alarm students. Shishido quit this week.

“I want to get away from this situation where I’m not even allowed to alert children about radiation exposure,” said Shishido, a 48-year-old teacher who taught at Fukushima Nishi High School. [...]

Kiyoharu Furukawa, 57, assistant principal at Fukushima Nishi High: “I don’t think the children are safe either, and I know the radiation level is still high… These days, they are wearing short sleeves and no masks.”

Amount of contaminated water rises by 3,000 tons in a week at Fukushima plant — Not going as planned
Contaminated Water Treatment System: 58% Operating Rate, Amount of Water Increased by 3000 Tonnes in a Week, EX-SKF, July 27, 2011:

From Asahi Shinbun (7/28/2011):

The amount of contaminated water hasn’t decreased as planned. With the rain from the typhoons and fresh water from the dam to supplement the treated water when the water treatment system was down, the total amount of contaminated water increased by 3,000 tonnes to 120,650 tonnes. The Central Waste Treatment Facility where the contaminated water is being stored is also reaching the capacity.

Bloomberg: “Everyone is being bitten by invisible snakes that will eventually kill them” says professor visiting Fukushima

‘Invisible Snakes’

Radiation can damage human cells and DNA, with prolonged exposure causing leukemia and other forms of cancer, according to the World Nuclear Association. Children are more susceptible as their cells grow at a faster rate.

“It’s all invisible. The trees are still trees, people are shopping, the birds are singing and dogs are walking in the street,” said Chris Busby, a visiting professor at the University of Ulster’s school of biomedical sciences, who visited Fukushima prefecture last week to provide information on health risks. “When you bring out the (Geiger) machines, you can see everything is sparkling and everyone is being bitten by invisible snakes that will eventually kill them.”

Damaged nuclear fuel rod stuck in Japanese reactor for 17 years — Experts have been unable to remove it, no solution so far

- A damaged nuclear fuel rod was stuck inside a reactor at Japan’s ageing Hamaoka nuclear plant after an accident 17 years ago and is still there, the plant’s operator said Thursday.

The operator, Chubu Electric Power Co., said experts were unable to remove the spent fuel rod from the plant, located 125 miles (200 kilometers) southwest of Tokyo, Kyodo News reported. [...]

The company sought help from domestic and foreign experts on how to safely extract it, but no solution was found so far. [...]

Cooling system for reactors and spent fuel pools stopped working three times over 16-day period at Alabama nuke plant

After tornadoes, TVA will replace emergency sirens, TimesDaily by Eric Fleischauer, July 28, 2011:

A Tennessee Valley Authority official said Wednesday the authority plans to correct a problem that left only 12 of Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant’s required 100 emergency sirens working after the April 27 tornadoes. [...]

The same power loss that left 88 sirens useless also caused problems at the nuclear plant.

All three reactors shut down automatically April 27. Because of the distraction of reactor personnel, according to a report TVA filed this month with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, water levels dropped in the Unit 1 reactor when the water boiled off faster than it was replaced. The cooling systems that control the temperature of the reactors and spent fuel rods stopped working for 47 minutes on April 28, 57 minutes on May 2 and 40 minutes on May 12. [...]

NHK: TEPCO doesn’t know where melted fuel is at in reactors or actual level of radioactive particles still being released — About to start checking

TEPCO to extract air from troubled reactors, NHK, July 29, 2011

The operator of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant says it will extract air from troubled reactors at the plant to measure the amount of radioactive substances. [...]

The operation is intended to obtain accurate data on what kind of radioactive substances are being released and in what quantity.

The air extraction is expected to begin later on Friday for the No.1 reactor and in early August for the No.2 unit. No plans have been decided for the No.3 reactor due to high radiation levels in part of its building.

NHK mentions that TEPCO doesn’t know where the melted fuel is inside the reactors or the actual level of radioactive particles still being released:

* TEPCO hopes the findings may also help the company grasp the extent of leakage of nuclear fuels into the containment vessels.
* Up to around one billion becquerels of radioactive substances are believed to be released every hour from reactors No.1, 2 and 3. It is not known how accurate this figure is because it was worked out by taking readings of the air on the plant’s premises.

Nuclear plant workers developed cancer despite radiation exposure below legal limit — As little as 5 millisieverts

Nuclear plant workers developed cancer despite lower radiation exposure than legal limit, Mainichi Daily News, July 27, 2011:

Of 10 nuclear power plant workers who have developed cancer and received workers’ compensation in the past, nine had been exposed to less than 100 millisieverts of radiation, it has been learned. [...]

According to Health, Labor and Welfare Ministry statistics, of the 10 nuclear power plant workers, six had leukemia, two multiple myeloma and another two lymphatic malignancy. Only one had been exposed to 129.8 millisieverts but the remaining nine were less than 100 millisieverts, including one who had been exposed to about 5 millisieverts.

Nobuyuki Shimahashi, a worker at the Hamaoka Nuclear Power Plant:

[Shimahashi] died of leukemia in 1991 at age 29. His 74-year-old mother Michiko remembers her son dropping from 80 kilograms to 50 kilograms and his gums bleeding. [...]

He had 50.63 millisieverts of radiation exposure over a period of eight years and 10 months.
His radiation exposure monitoring databook, which was returned to his family six months after his death, showed that more than 30 exposure figures and other listings had been corrected in red ink and stamped with personal seals.

Even after he was diagnosed with leukemia, the databook had a stamp indicating permission for him to engage in a job subject to possible radiation exposure and a false report on his participation in nuclear safety education while he was in reality in hospital.

Well things seem to be just going from really bad to apocolyptic.

Quote from link.

Geiger counters, used to detect radioactivity, registered more than 10 sieverts an hour, the highest reading the devices are able to record, Junichi Matsumoto, a general manager at the utility, said today. The measurements were taken at the base of the main ventilation stack for reactors No. 1 and No. 2

Re: Japanese reactor explosion

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WHen the number 3 reactor blew up it was a fair bit different than when the number 1 reactor blew up. I could swear I seen what looked like the containment dome falling back down after the Reactor 3 explosion. They say more radiation is leaking now and that it must be coming from reactor 4 reactor even though it is shut down, number 4 reactor was on fire because some burning parts of the reactor 3 explosion fell into it, and set it on fire.

Reactor 2 is now overheating, and will likely blow aswell.

Reactor 1 explosion very little black smoke and exposion was kind of round.

Reactor 3 explosion lots of black smoke and explosion was quite vertical.

My conclusion- reactor three is breached, reactor 1 is melted down, reactor two is going to melt down, reactor 4 may burn out.

Great, I am so glad I live in the southern hemisphere.

Keep safe guys and good luck.

Cheers

I think it's time we all pressure our governments to phase out all nuclear fission reactors on the planet, period.

[mbrownn]

I totally agree with you, they say the radiation in the ventilation stack is 10 sieverts per hour but the meters they use have a maximum reading of 10 sieverts, this means the radiation is in excess of this and how much, they don't know. This is radiation at levels that will not just give you cancer or a lethal dose in seconds, it will cook you too. The location of this radiation is in a system for venting to the atmosphere yet they say nothing is escaping. 'kin rubbish, they know its escaping but that fits in with what they want for the general population. The death toll from this can never be calculated but it is a certainty that over the course of time it will exceed any other event, including wars, that has ever happened. Add to this that they are disposing of their nuclear waste in war zones wit DU ammunition.

maybe you have seen all the pro nuclear propaganda splashed all over the news and internet, well I'm not buying it. We should not only prosecute the people responsible for the continuation of this disaster at TEPCO but also all the people that came up with this propaganda and the people imposing the whole of this industry on us. Fukushima Diachi would be a good location for their prison. I am not heartless, I know they will get cancer and die there, we should provide medications so that their lives will be as long as possible so that they can experience the full benefits of their nuclear industry.

Hundreds of people have voluntarily given up their future to try to put an end to this disaster, yet the powers that be will not give adequate funding and supplies to speed up the recovery then the same people are happy to see the annihilation of innocent Muslims in the near and middle east. It makes me sick. The US and the Uk, not its ordinary people but the powers that be, bankrupt their countries in the name of alciada and then give only a pittance of support for the people giving up their lives to save humanity. They are not alone in this most governments of the world are complicit as well.

Wake up people.

[Nadda]

annihilation of innocent Muslims

no, not the innocent ones, only the ones who strap bombs to their chests and blow up women and children. I do agree its insane we're still over there and whatever the true souce of the middle eastern terrorism spawns from its not a candle flame that we will ever be able to blow out. anyone would have just as good a shot at winning the war on drugs.

bankrupt their countries in the name of alciada

"alciada" has nothing on the big banking and econmic stimulus bankruptcy. It took alciada 10 years longer to spend just as much money.

the radiation in the ventilation stack is 10 sieverts per hour but the meters they use have a maximum reading of 10 sieverts

I just read that, unbelievable. Why tell us that its 10 sieverts when they have no idea what it actually is? How do we know its not 100 or 1,000 sieverts.

Before this happened at fukushima i was actually naive enough to believe nuclear power was a great source of energy. But what i realized, and hopfully others do as well, is that its just not natural. Eviromentally destructive radioactive waste that takes hundreds of thousands of years to decompose is not the answer to any energy needs. Radioactivity is death. To everyone and everything. We have to put an end to nuclear energy before it puts an end to us.

[Farmhand]

What really irks me is the continued propaganda and cover ups. They seem to use the excuse that they can handle the truth but we can't. Truth is they are aware that if the real facts were revealed the nuclear industry would be finished and heads would roll.

The head honcho's from TEPCO and the IAEA should be there cleaning it up with shovels, and a much bigger area should be evacuated.

I can understand the mentality of the people giving thier lives to clean the mess up. I would do the same, but what is the point if it will only happen again and maybe bigger. We owe it to the people giving up thier lives to put an end to this abomination.
