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.

AP: 5.6 quake rattles Japan near Fukushima site - 5.6 quake rattles Japan near Fukushima site, AP, July 7, 2011:

- An earthquake registering 5.6 shook the Pacific off Honshu, Japan, the U.S. Geological Survey said Thursday. That is the area of northeast Japan ravaged by a March 11 quake and tsunami that knocked out power at the Fukushima nuclear plant. [...]

[Headline:]

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.



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.



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, nuke industry criticized for skirting public, Associated Press, July 10, 2011: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. [...]

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.

This is a plea for help, the Japanese are a proud and self reliant people not known for emotional outbursts of this nature. From this it is clear we have to do all we can to force the Japanese government to evacuate these people NOW

Miyagi beef cattle shipments barred, Japan Times, July 28, 2011:

The government ordered a complete ban Thursday on all shipments of beef cattle from Miyagi Prefecture after detecting radioactive cesium above the government limit in some local cattle.

The government is also considering placing a similar ban on beef cattle from Iwate Prefecture, where five cattle from Ichinoseki and Fujisawa have already been found contaminated with radioactive cesium exceeding the limit of 500 becquerels per kilogram. [...]

The discovery of beef cattle from various prefectures in northeastern Japan with elevated levels of radioactive cesium has caused widespread concern. [...]

A total of 1,557 tons in 5 prefectures, including Fukushima and Miyagi, was
found to contain 8,000 or more becquerels per kilogram. This sludge is too radioactive to be buried for disposal.

The most contaminated sludge, with 89,697 becquerels per kilogram, was discovered at a water treatment facility in Koriyama City, Fukushima. [...]

The ministry plans to study how to dispose of the radioactive sludge.

Over 1,550 tons of highly radioactive sludge found in 5 prefectures, Mainichi Daily News, July 29, 2011:

The health ministry will cooperate with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism and consider reprocessing the sludge as soil for gardening.

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

Tepco Says Highest Radiation Yet Is Detected at Fukushima Dai-Ichi - Bloomberg

I can't believe the so called experts thought we were all stupid enough to beleive drivel they put out.

Here is a quote of a post I made on another forum only three days after the tsunami. Now consider i'm just a average joe who thinks for himself. Seems I wasn't too far wrong. Which is nothing to brag about, but it is very very sad. How many people will get cancer from this "millions" ?

Somebody needs to be held accountable and be punished if for nothing else for the disinformation and lies. The phrase "crime's against humanity" come's to mind.

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.

Cheers

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.

That thing is just out of control. I don't think they have any clue what to do, and that means the only safe nuclear reactor is a pretend one.



OK the above link is not working for me any more the chinese rabbit story in the previous post is from the same site and is no longer working either.

However I have found a better video of what I think is the same event. live cam. Whole plant enveloped by steam, maybe the reactor melted through to the ground water below or something.

Very plain to see it was an actual nuclear explosion. And it was plutonium/mox fuel reactor. Damn liers.

yeh - you have to feel for the innocent people that have been affected locally by this, and the world in general, that this was lead up to, by those that knew better.
